matikane lvl 4 showcase here we go

[dawn valve]

Luckily we can still just say Matikane since Mambo hasn't arrived yet

[little glen]

im gonna stick with saying mambo if that's so

[simple iron]

I mean, as a German you shouldn't have an issue with long words like Matikanetannhauser ^^

[dawn valve]

I don't, but it's a pain in the ass to write

MANT will be tough anyway, Guts maxing is a new one.
I guess for that I'll run Haru + Yukino + SR Doto + SR Air Groove or something. My Ines is only LB1 so idk about her.

[simple iron]

It's kinda funny after all the Kita hype she might get sidelined for MANT

But suppose if you hit the 2nd breakpoint with Kita it's still good enough

[dawn valve]

She's still not bad, realistically most people won't actually have better options anyway

Finally managed the S rank

Through the dumb lvl 4

[simple iron]

You mean on Bakushin? I could swear you posted S umas before ^^

[dawn valve]

Yeah, on Bakushin

[simple iron]

Depends, if the focus really is only race bonus, you might as well sort supports by it on gametora and pick what you can, even SR Nishino gives 15 ^^

[dawn valve]

If I had gotten a rainbow on wit on the final training that would've been SS as well, but alas

[little glen]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-cry-one-piece-mid-mid-piece-one-mid-gif-3938984731501782050

at least i survived lvl 4

[dawn valve]

I just don't know yet what the breaking point between "gives race bonus" and "is total ass otherwise" is

And it's not like Haru gives much race bonus for that matter

(for the guts build)

But yeah, Nature rerun seems more and more like a must pull if you care enough

[hazy seal]

Which one do I pick? Classic year rn

[little glen]

hmmm

if you can try keep the lead by late race, you could try angling and scheming

at least that would help keeping you stay for longer in front near end before dying

but that's in my opinion

[viscid elm]

https://tenor.com/view/fine-motion-fine-motion-umamusume-peace-gif-1550784233801028431

[little glen]

honestly i'd like to pull her bc she's fyne af

but that's fine i might able to pull her off banner if that's the case

[hazy seal]

Do I pick these?

[little glen]

yea take them

[hazy seal]

She has 0 mid and late game skills

Thats so hecking expensive

[naive hawk]

looking good lads

falcon stole another win from susu

another 1 2 3 wow thank you no debuffer lobby

OKAY NO THREE SWEEP I WAS 1ST AND DIDNT PROC ANGLE?-?—?

786 wit ONLY IF I HIT 800!!

okay i saw a nature and rudolf and went oh thats debuff

AND IR WASNT!!

SUSU!!!

oh the nature had 469 wit

[dawn valve]

It's time to step into Suzuka's world

[naive hawk]

okay awesome i literally only lost because she didnt proc angle

the summer maru that won had so much speed carryover

but holy shit the triangle was working

falco I LOVE YOU!!

what a blessing

to think i almost ran daiwa which my daiwa was so half assed this falco is the best uma ive ever made score wise

and it has right handed LOL! (I FORGOR)

[dawn valve]

Good start

[naive hawk]

teach me how to train dober SHE HATES ME

[dawn valve]

Just be a nice guy man

[naive hawk]

dober and narita brian just go hey buddy ur getting a b+ or an A

[dawn valve]

Dobeeeeeeeer

3 wins on first round, lost the super mirror match against a dober in a lobby with 3x dober and 3x Taiki

Also to a random Golshi

Which I guess is just mandatory

[naive hawk]

dude these 1150 power oguris aree whooping me

IM LIKE SUSU RUNNN and GG BEST ULT IN THE GAME HITTING!!

#GETPULSED

funny that i didnt have like these two umas before this cup even started

[dawn valve]

Round 2 1 loss vs. a Suzu

[naive hawk]

i got susu from the last paid ticket since i said erm fuck it

ive only lost to oguri

and that s maru

i havent gotten taiki’d yet maybe shes potential man

okay i just got shuttled

and if i get debuffed by actual good debuffers IM COOKED

[dawn valve]

Dober is just like "Yeah, if I proc ult I will also proc pump and most likely Shadow break, get fucked"

Ok, sure

She's such a hag, I love her

[naive hawk]

MCQUEEN WIN!!!!

[dawn valve]

Last round 2 Ls vs. Fantasy Pasa and a Suzuka

so 3 | 4 | 5 | 3

[naive hawk]

best winrate ive ever had maybe

my mcqueen is a bit of a bum just not enough skills to push through

[dawn valve]

The others didn't win anything

Teio just kinda there

There's really not a whole lot of Natures btw

Seems like most people opted for triple ace

[dawn valve]

tfw

[simple iron]

I was surprised i got most of them with 12 left, only 1 Carat hit remaining ^^

Also saw people with 2/5 2/72

[dawn valve]

Basically just assume you gotta do all

[little glen]

i only have 23/72

i hate this event lol

managed to get gold shard this very recently

still

2 runs per day can't get enough

[dawn valve]

The problem with the event is that it doesn't really do anything besides making some numbers go up

It's just kinda there and you have to grind it

aka zero actual enjoyment involved

[little glen]

can't blame that tbh

0/2/0/1 today, gold city surely brings golden moment right at the start of new year ✨

[dawn valve]

If it were more specific like "do [insert race type here] run" or whatever that would at least be neat, since it encourages doing something different

As is it's just "spam easiest career"

[little glen]

yea

well, this girl will ready to dispatch on group B

no nsm unfortunately

due to random ahh unity cup lose

[simple iron]

Random 9* pink from running this ^^

Must have pretty poor affinity though, only ran HJF And MileChamp as extra races ^^

[dawn valve]

Now if only it weren't Turf

I've gotten so many stupid 3* Turfs recently

[simple iron]

I kinda don't mind non-distance on my parents, since the guest would generally be the one that's properly built with 9* Distance anyway

[dawn valve]

I mean, they goal is to not need guests at some point, isn't it

I'm way too lazy for parent runs though, so fat chance of that happening for me

[simple iron]

Not mine, ideally i wouldn't be doing more than 3 runs per day anyway

And with millions of available parents it feels almost punishing to settle for a worse one of your own

[dawn valve]

I just do what's fun for me, which is ace runs

If you don't do the grind you can't get grind burnout

slightly more chance of +30 all stats is nice

they use the same setup as the prior one

[dawn valve]

Well yeah, once the code was cracked this was bound to happen

Other whale looking at it going "no problem"

[simple iron]

Without FL is pretty crazy, might even be UG1 with it then on such a highroll

[dawn valve]

The main thing are the stats, really. Having one or two skills less doesn't make it less of an UG

[simple iron]

Golds boost the ranking too ^^

[dawn valve]

Well yeah, but they don't have less golds, just less regular skills

Which is my point

[little glen]

each skills has its own score pts

[dawn valve]

you don't cut the golds, you cut the whites

[little glen]

still impressive even without FL, but now i really wondered if someone able to reach even higher rank in MANT

[dawn valve]

They also did 2 more races than the other guy, so that balances it out further

they attempted to do CM with that taiki too

they got 5 wins but also 1 win the next attempt

lmao

[simple iron]

https://x.com/Nebooler/status/2006879617651761641 Actually higher winrate than i expected for that Taiki, thought she'd die more often ^^

Neb (@Nebooler)

Better than expected, Taiki has to crutch off of great mood to have enough stamina😭

X · Jan 2, 2026, 12:06 AM

[dawn valve]

CM is just RNG, so yeah

If she runs into 2 Naturs she's just dead

Actually, just one Nature is enough

[simple iron]

Don't even need Natures with what he says ^^

Would be a struggle on Normal mood even

[dawn valve]

Next mile CM will be his time to shine

But I guess this just shows how important specialization can be for CMs

She should be good in finals though, that's auto great mood and likely no natures

the 50 pulls during new years event are nice btw, particularly for New Years TMO. She's pretty good. Also Haru.

Just get lucky, easy clap

[simple iron]

Is it announced yet officially we get 50 btw? Just thought we might get more again since they also gave us so much more Riko banner pulls ^^

[little glen]

Riko banner is just exclusive for us

other servers got one free pull per day while we have 10-pulls per day instead

honestly idk if im prepared saving for it yet

but also valentine bourbon is coming

[dawn valve]

On another note, I hadn't realized that the guts SSR Yukino Bijin also has 20% training effectiveness total. Pretty crazy overall, honestly.

Teio already won in the first race, so as long as i qualify now, nothing else matters today

3:2, will do other tickets later ^^

[little glen]

67

[simple iron]

Very confused by this, expected Teio and Taiki to switch places, but happy Teio is winning after all

[dawn valve]

Yeah, Taikis for some reason aren't as strong as projected

I guess most of them lack stamina

[hazy seal]

Did I debuff my own front runners lmao

[hazy seal]

I built a debuff grass instead of ace lmao

[simple iron]

Debuffs don't friendly fire ^^

[dawn valve]

Ok, top 50 is done and uploading.... back to horse girls.

Day 2 it is

Round 1 2 Ls vs. Taishin and Oguri - and notably teh first 2 Teio wins. You go, girl!

Flawless round 2 with 4 x Maru and 1 Teio win

Truly not a gambler day

Don't think I've seen Dober fire her unique even once

Round 3 also flawless, 3x Maru and Dober immediately won 2 races out of spite

[little glen]

losing to this

bc i put the wrong digichan

[dawn valve]

And we go 18/20 today

Literally only lost the very first two matches

[naive hawk]

i went so hard

my susu has 9 wins now some how

my mcqueen is doing NOTHING

but i saw her proc ult for the first time and she did something

she really just doesnt have enough of like other skills to get her up there in the mid race in order to proc the ult

[little glen]

we're so back

[little glen]

the usual 1/0/2/0

[dawn valve]

Thank you, Guts Yukino

On the back of only 2 wits + 2 Speed with neither wit nor speed bonus

[hazy seal]

Guts gaming

Im using creek and rice to get discount on SM for Suzuka

Should I not do that

[dawn valve]

That's only, like, 1 hint

Not worth it just for that

Isn't Suzuka deck, like, 2 speed, 2 wit, Creek + Riku and pray you get blues on stam/wit?

[hazy seal]

Bro i had a run where I skipped 4 blue stam in a row lmao

It'll explain why i need gold recovery to make up the stats

[little glen]

you gotta

[little glen]

3 more lvl 4 runs until it's over...

https://youtu.be/wd6oUYGNiV0

[simple iron]

Slight improvement overall from yesterday ^^

[dawn valve]

lbr, I'm cruising through the group stage, but at the end of the day you'll be the one winning the finals again. My cursed RNG be like.

Must have faith in the Maru clucth

[simple iron]

Ultimately it is all about matchmaking first and then ingame RNG

And since i don't think i ever posted her here, this is why i'm confused why Teio is winning over Taiki so much

Taiki here for reference ^^

[dawn valve]

Lone wolf procs?

[simple iron]

Actually non-zero

[dawn valve]

But yeah, the Taikis haven't been doing nearly as well as projected

Interestingly enough Teio ult activation has been very solid

[simple iron]

You say that, but that's why i screenshot this today, notable 3L to first non-Taiki

[dawn valve]

Taiki Spiderman meme

[little glen]

I feel like i'm starting to see decent amount of Marus and Taikis

[hazy seal]

B-buh

[hazy seal]

Just got a slightly better ish Suzuka

[simple iron]

Speaking of Turf parents last time...

[little glen]

lmao

[dawn valve]

Blues could be better, but that's a great parent for Haru

[simple iron]

Well, i wouldn't really call this great

[dawn valve]

You're not getting double circles on her anyway

[simple iron]

Had to check cause i actually thought about it since i have that 9* long parent i never use anymore, but considering she actually needs inspirations doing it with such low affinity looks like even bigger pain ^^

[dawn valve]

It's one of the most difficult tasks for a reason. Granted, you should be able to win the Arima Kinen with B-C rank

I should go do a Haru run, but next on the list is Taishin. I got her up to 14k with max sp and all other stats ~750-900 on the most cursed run with my currently cooked up deck, so I wanna see that in action with a decent run, see how much I can get out of it

Even had Long S for that matter

[dawn valve]

So close to S

But very usable for Sagittarius, so it's fiiiine

Long + Turf S, 2 gold recs, enough accel and Pump

Also definitely not losing and dueling

[little glen]

...

bruh

[dawn valve]

Yeah, it be like that.

Gotta grind all of it out

[naive hawk]

time to build my ace for the next cm

NICE GAMBLING NATURE!!!

no on your left but the plan is HIT both mejiro excels get into 3rd nature ult procs gg we win

[dawn valve]

Look up and see next CM Taishin

[naive hawk]

gutsshin

i almost went guts nature

if i had creek i would do similar

[dawn valve]

I don't believe in debuffers any more. triple ace is the way

[naive hawk]

im aceing nature

[dawn valve]

Embracing the meme is good

I guess next CM will be christmas Oguri + Taisgin + idk yet

also not quite sure what position Oguri

Since, you know, she can do whatever

But for once Lates aren't actually bad in a long CM on Sagittarius

[naive hawk]

im gonna 1k power and speed here and mayybe only 850 stam i will two recovery tho damn

we will see if i hit a turbo power rainbow

trying the verison of running rice and just getting second recovery from thing

which is no nsm but

cuz i got a fuckton of stam sparks

[dawn valve]

I can't really gauge that Taishin yet btw. The turf &Long S and with cover for the little speed I'm missing and the high guts should basically equal maxed stam even without the double recoveries

But skills idk

No uma stan, cause duh

But shadow is so stupid strong

And triggers at perfect time on arima track

Anyway, gold round time

[naive hawk]

900 stam is possible…

but funny ahh horse

the power + wit bonus is kinda op

round 2 time

bad mood falcon loss lol

THESE OGURI CAP SCAMMERS MAN

ur about to win and bro goes yo check this out..

two wins two wins one win we pray

[dawn valve]

3 Ls on first round today vs. Smaru, Suzuka and Oguri
Flawless round two
Round 3 with 3 Ls vs Taiki by a nose with all my umas being rushed, Suzuka and...

lmao

Madlad Nature

https://tenor.com/view/nice-nature-umamusume-shrug-gif-2532422781069095707

[dawn valve]

Must have been quite the high roll career run

God, she doesn't even have any gambler skills, she just wins on stats

[naive hawk]

well we try again tmw

i might gotta replace mcqueen with one of these scammer win oguri caps

i was in a due or die race i faced a s rank tokai teio 1200 power and speed

✌️

[dawn valve]

2 | 5 | 2 | 2

Not a great day

[naive hawk]

5??1!-!

2/2/1/1 joever

[dawn valve]

Gotta get your fatties in shape, clearly

[little glen]

5/4/2/4
almost double round sweeps, obv due to smaru and killed by double evil natures

for this time tho, my refurbished and renewed guts pasa v2 racked some wins today

and at least... finally my oshi got her chance to win! 2 times even

interestingly both of her wins were when runaway suzuka was around

[simple iron]

I worry that when i finally hit a Long spark it's gonna be a 1* and without any whites

[dawn valve]

That's usually how it goes. Or alternatively... well, let me show you.

Good ol Medium 3, Long 6

[simple iron]

That's what i call a grandparent

[dawn valve]

Yeah, but for Medium, not long

[little glen]

...and that's bc i somehow managed to DRAW in the second option hhhhhhhh

[dawn valve]

It does feel pretty bad that a draw is essentially just a loss

[little glen]

yea and it hurts more than just losing somehow

at least i'm finally free

that UG uma managed to win the round 2, good luck grumpy

if you face him lemme know, the chance are never zero

[dawn valve]

I mean... if I somehow beat the astronomical odds of actually meeting her in the finals at least I can blame my loss on that

Or, if I win, can brag about it

[little glen]

belip.png

[hazy seal]

Me meeting all the S in group A and getting sandbagged

[little glen]

me in the previous cup

getting into group A itself felt like a mistake to me lmao

[simple iron]

Sometimes i hate being prescient

[little glen]

mood

you gave your best but returned with nothing

happens to the best of us

[simple iron]

Got there ^^
Was worried at start since i went 2/2/3/3 and the winrate completely flipped now, all the wins today were Taiki except 1 Grass win ^^

[hazy seal]

I managed to qualify for the final round

Thats good enuf for me

[little glen]

very nice

[little glen]

anyone going to pull xmas ogu

[hazy seal]

Me

[dawn valve]

Most of us I guess. Question is how committed

I can't do pity again

[hazy seal]

Now to find a long with groundwork... this is rough

[rigid island]

quickly realizing my zzz account is cooked because i don't have a good stun to go with shunguang and zhao

trigger just kinda feels bad to play

[past ibex]

dialyn is just so incredibly overpowered compared to every other stunner

another issue with trigger is that she's not crazy strong without her sig

but it really shouldn't be too bad

just cause ysg is incredibly broken

and she's super onfield

which works well with trigger

[rigid island]

i think i mostly just need to learn the rotation between zhao and ysg

to keep ether veil up or whatever

but trigger being in the middle of it just feels off

[past ibex]

you don't need to switch to trigger at all besides keeping her charge up, ulting and skilling

just go back and forth between zhao and ysg

[rigid island]

i've developed a terrible habit of switching every opportunity instead of dodging

[past ibex]

i only switch whenever it's a parry

but yeah if it's a red blinker just dodge

[dawn valve]

There's plenty to borrow, honestly. Friendsearcher is your friend

[dawn valve]

This is gonna be one of those runs, huh. Not even at debut race and already a 4% and a 10% failure

Guts

[dawn valve]

Leveling Guts is kinda fun, but I need better cards for it

[simple iron]

Aren't the 2 big ones free SSRs? Or were there any whale ones too?

[dawn valve]

There's always whale ones

Haru is nice and all, but she's not on Yukino levels of good

[simple iron]

4/2/4/4 and most importantly Teio finally got some round 2 wins to get back to (tied) #1 spot
As much as this might be apopheniac, it does seem a better time to queue around this hour

[little glen]

is it just me that i max lvl'd guts cards including the ssr one

my game is cursed bc it always gave me alot of sr and ssr guts to this day

so they got mlb'd pretty quickly

lmao

[simple iron]

I maxed all the SR&SSR that i have with the monies they're throwing at us now ^^

Started working on maxing all the R cards too but actually ran out of SP

[little glen]

same

actually done that few days ago, just R cards remaining

dunno how long it will take me but as long as double drops from scenario still running (up until late january) this would be done quickly

[little glen]

well, no ogu

but i got this

but still upset

merry new year of the uma i guess

-# the ult animation lags so much on my phone tho...

[little glen]

very nice one

[hazy seal]

Do I pull the ssr?

[little glen]

not now, wait for ssr matikane speed

[hazy seal]

Alrighty

9k left

[little glen]

it also comes with free 10-pulls for 5 days as well

aligning with the new year event

it's very good since it has energy reduction and race bonus too

[naive hawk]

BIWA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im only using my dailes to pull

[little glen]

24th ura victor
and this is kinda eww for the first run

i somehow got secret event accidently so yay?

[little glen]

oh interesting

the ssr make a debut ticket is also rebranded to this

so i suppose we will get another batch of ssrs for make a debut ticket

[naive hawk]

truth

the 15k carats are looking at me in the eyes rn

I assume the freezing is just the game rather than my poor laptop. Also that animation pissed me off. I didn't read too deep in the kits and it's new mechanics so don't expect it to be complete.

[simple iron]

Well, technically so does the original version

She even gets 2 recoveries, although they're both kinda iffy i guess

New Biwa has better stat growth though i guess, but both of them still miss Speed

[hazy seal]

Bruh

[simple iron]

I thought you really want to avoid getting 4 heals on her cause it makes her ult kinda useless if it goes off too early?

[hazy seal]

Bro

I was trying to play for med spark lmao

And i had doubts she'll survive career

[dawn valve]

It's time to see if the almighty RNG has been with us this time around

[simple iron]

Thank you

[dawn valve]

Teio supremacy

She just went towards final straight and was like "What if I proc, like, all the things right now"

And just won

Duty, Step and NSM

And the final tally

[naive hawk]

i ran biwa for the end

dude she came in second I SHOULD’ve BEEN RUNNING HER OVER BUMASS MCQUEEN

NOW THE REAL QUESTION IS DO I DO A VICTORY 10 PULL

and also idk why i wasnt becasue she like won a couple room matches LMAO

and her ult acutally procs

victory 10 pull.... AHHHHHHHHHHHH but what if i get christmas biwa

i will run her

[simple iron]

There's also a 900 Carat gift ^^

[naive hawk]

true..

I WENT ONE MORE I SAW A DOOR

RED DOOR

OGURI

20 PULLS..

I GUESS I GOTTA PLAY CHRISTMAS OGURI..

😭

well there goes my plan of using the paid banner on oguri christmas

WE USE IT ON CHRISTMAS BIWA..

[dawn valve]

You actually got her in 20 pulls... lucky fuck

I'm definitely not annoyed by this or anything, trust

[dawn valve]

At least I think I'm already set for Sagittarius with this one

Note the inherited uniques

[naive hawk]

i might run end oguri christmas

fuck it taishin oguri christmas golshi METASLAVE CM

[dawn valve]

Nah, pace Oguri is where she belongs. If no front = angling proc = win, too

Also, there's something really funny about giving umas their alter ego uniques

People looking at both proccing mid race all like "wait, what?"

But I do have the Taishin I posted a couple days ago for end

And third spot is either (god help me) Golshi or Cafe

Probably gonna do Cafe again. No Golshi metaslaving!

But first... the only other Uma I got during my dreadful Xmas Oguri pulls deserves a run

Festival City time

[little glen]

Good luck grumpy

double runaway suzukas and a taiki in the lobby. i'm feeling not good already

ofc it ended up not good

...wait

i'm 2nd place despite i finished 3rd?

yea fine game i'll take it

[dawn valve]

That just means that 1+2 belonged to the same player

[little glen]

i see

[dawn valve]

Man, the Gold City career is horrible. Miler but you have to run literally all the hard mode long tracks

[little glen]

guts all the way

[little glen]

Anything but speed training on late game. Great.

last 20 (+3 tickets) pulls to see if i can get xmas ogu

ofc it's expected, nada

[dawn valve]

Ok sure, just like last CM, lmao

Used support card ticket

Unfortunately she isn't really usable til LB3, bt hey

[little glen]

a new rainbow lb crystal fodder

[dawn valve]

That's a lot of crystals

[naive hawk]

okay but how about NO!

https://tenor.com/view/oguri-oguri-cap-oguri-cap-christmas-christmas-mafuyu-gif-14647319276381128779

oguri end is just hard to make

but really funny

[dawn valve]

We shall see next CM whose does better, buddy

[naive hawk]

i think its better on wayy longer tracks

but its doable

plus double end pace sounds kinda bad for 2200m

acutally.. i mean it stops runaway

[dawn valve]

The thing just is running triple End is just bad

[naive hawk]

INNTRESTING..

TAISHIN+OGURI CHRISTMAS AND THE RETURN OF BIWA HAYAHIDE

[dawn valve]

*2500

[naive hawk]

wait true...

ill build a pace christmas and a end christmas

just for sillies

[dawn valve]

That's fair

[naive hawk]

TRIPLE END... ME PROC NSM OR ME GO8TH

https://tenor.com/view/nakayama-festa-umamusume-uma-musume-umamusume-picmix-uma-musume-picmix-gif-3557364379832958553

[dawn valve]

Pace is just much easier cause you don't need spurt or anything, really

[naive hawk]

listen hishi amazon LOVES ME...

naw i lowkey have fine spurt parents

[dawn valve]

If only Hishi were useful for anything

[naive hawk]

;(

[dawn valve]

The fact that she has neither recovery nor spurt or ANYTHING really

[little glen]

Well now that I have Taishin

Hmm

How do I even begin with

[naive hawk]

go taishin

[naive hawk]

MEET POTENTIAL UMA

[little glen]

i mean this is my first taishin

i wish i have more nps

[naive hawk]

taishin either highrolls or lowrolls career

[little glen]

I want to win more races

but that would kill my stats

If i want to gain more stats
i will lose more np gains

the modern problem

[naive hawk]

if training bad go race

acutally its
if training bad go wit
if wit bad go race
if race bad
glue

[little glen]

hmm

i'll try that

[naive hawk]

you need wit this cm

[little glen]

i assume riko rice 2 speed 2 wits?

[dawn valve]

Well, the most important thing to know is that you will get hit with story event mood down 2 turns before Kikuka Sho, so you factor that in

[naive hawk]

rice if you need the power

also that

its always creek>rice

[little glen]

hmm

[naive hawk]

but it does depend on your uh

thingies

sparks

[little glen]

is bringing 3 gold heals overkill

[naive hawk]

yes

you need like 900 stam and one gold

not even 900 830 ur fine

[little glen]

i see

[naive hawk]

this is "long"

but not like a kyoto long

its a short long

its a medium+

[little glen]

that run i wasn't using rice even

[naive hawk]

for wits you can run matikane for handed

[dawn valve]

Ends need less stam to begin with

[naive hawk]

also that

[little glen]

it's the mejiro + creek ssr

[naive hawk]

i hate mcqueen ssr

i feel like she doesnt work

[little glen]

she brought boosts for stam but the end result gold skill would depend on rng sadly

[dawn valve]

McQueen SSR is just not useful. Cafe SR at MLB is better

[little glen]

yea i thought bringing her up to 3lb is good

well i should've spent it on narita ssr instead

[naive hawk]

i mean like it should be

but mcqueen is very inconstant

[little glen]

a little bit better, i guess

kinda wish more balloons would have chance to be popped but it's weirdly lesser these times

[little glen]

kachow

[naive hawk]

imagine if that wasnt levelheaded

and if taishin gave me standing by

[naive hawk]

okay i won without procing ult and then came second to an s rank taishin while getting ult off

yeah this is so glue

[dawn valve]

Yeah, that's the problem with making her end, her innate recoveries just don't help you any more

Besides 777

[dawn valve]

Well, that was random

9* blue with even Stam, Power & Spd

And 7* Long

I guess I was due for a decent parent

[hazy seal]

Imma see if I can inherit hween creek on oguri

Or Smaru because why not

[little glen]

and most importantly

10/25 4*'d

[dawn valve]

Random S-Rank Golshi

Man, if she had Long S...

[simple iron]

Just took Pure Heart for points? Seems very unlikely for Golshi in CM having to be 2-4 in midrace ^^

[dawn valve]

Yeah

[little glen]

whatever, go my stam

[little glen]

go my curren chan capicron cup

so close to maxout two stats tho...

[hazy seal]

Do I run Haru or the power Daiwa?

[dawn valve]

For what

Decks are very uma specific

[simple iron]

I would also question why you're running both Maestro cards at low level, surely at least one of those has a better MLB SR option

[hazy seal]

Is 3 gold blue too much?

I am taking a look at Xoguri skills

[little glen]

as long as 3 recovery skills activate

you don't need to overload with too much recovery gold skills

[hazy seal]

Hmm

She has innate hydrate and 777

Then I will most likely take Pure Heart

Are those 3 enuf for cm?

[little glen]

you gotta need alot of wits that's enough to proc 3 recovery skills

that's one huge flaw for using x.oguri, but it works wonderfully with any recovery skills

[dawn valve]

With enough wit, sure. But you don't wanna bring 4 skills, cause then the activation window might be useless

[little glen]

I've seen people actually bring more than 3 recovery skills for a "lifeguard" just incase one of the skills didn't proc

[dawn valve]

That's non-believers

[simple iron]

People do a lot of dumb things in this game

[dawn valve]

I this CM in particular you want her unique to proc at the 777 point, anywhere else and it's useless

(as far as recovery skill activation windows go)

I just did a run with her btw, just to finally fill that dirt slot. Of course for that I get S rank, but hey.

[hazy seal]

My deck are for skill discounts lmao

[dawn valve]

Also important note, you will need 2 speed cards for an ace run on her, 1 is just not enough. And you honestly need neither Creek nor Rice as you really don't need the gold recovery

[hazy seal]

Its perma friend kita borrow

I am getting around 800 stam ig

[dawn valve]

Fair, Kita + Spe-chan should be fine

Just replace Creek and Rice with better things

[hazy seal]

I think that's enuf with gold recovery but if I were not to use gold then isk

Rushing gale time

[dawn valve]

No, that's actually too much

She needs around 700ish, maybe 750 with 3 white recoveries

[hazy seal]

I tried with 3spd 2pwr

[dawn valve]

I'd replace one of those two with a MLB wit card and the other... well, idk what power MLBs you have, honestlly

that MLB Riko alone basically guarantees enough stam, really

You do wanna bring power sparks though

[naive hawk]

found a good uma stan parent but didnt use it for this run LOL!

had to click stam a couple more times than i needed to

people are also saying 777 is ass

you might not get all the speed carry

might actually wait till mant to make xmas oguri

and go triple late funny gamble time

[naive hawk]

can you change to this parent 🤨

[dawn valve]

But my Falco
(and yeah, I guess. But later)

[dawn valve]

There you go

[naive hawk]

yumy

[dawn valve]

Rolling some really good parents these days

With my Cafe and a Long Dober as grandparents

If I use Hishi and Cafe together that's this

14 Long* and 46 white sparks

[naive hawk]

hihsi

get hishi a W this cm

think im going late nature ace shes so fun

the whole game plan is to just shoot her to 3rd for ult and WIN

[dawn valve]

I'm actually trying to get her up there, but i can't get a long spark on her for the life of me

[naive hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/hishi-amazon-hishiama-uma-musume-gif-9976263535315578407

[dawn valve]

You just need such a stupid highroll run for her to pop off

[past ibex]

Cute nikke collab cafe

Such a waste to not have these as payable skins

[little glen]

Trying to do Air Groove Sagitarius cup run, and then absurd 1% training fail ruined the god run

i never recovered from that

https://tenor.com/view/yakuza-gif-18148683

I'll put this here as well

My derp brain took Its On instead of her inner rail skills

[dawn valve]

When you do random runs and randomly high roll into new scenario record

Didn't roll Dober grandparent skill and she's reeeeeally dumb, but I'll definitely throw her into one of the Sagittarius rounds

@naive hawklook Winzoo

[naive hawk]

holyshiot'

BNW ARIMA KINEN...

with that stam i wouldnt even buy swinging

[dawn valve]

Well, I am actually also running Taishin

[naive hawk]

YOU ARE MISSING THE CRUICAL PIECE...

https://tenor.com/view/uma-musume-umamusume-dancing-winning-ticket-biwa-hayahide-gif-17821298430393986817

BIWA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dawn valve]

I guess I have time, I could do it for the meme

[naive hawk]

QUICK GRUMPY PULL FOR CHRISTMAS BIWA..

[dawn valve]

No, fuck that lmao

[naive hawk]

😭

still cant believe i got oguri LMAO

[dawn valve]

I already pitied without getting her

[naive hawk]

and i might not even use it!

[dawn valve]

2 pities in a row was... rough on my bank account

[naive hawk]

dober for me was 130

oguri was 30

technically 20

[dawn valve]

Yeah, fuck you. Anything else?

[naive hawk]

since i used 10 tickets

uhhhhhh idk

nothing else

[dawn valve]

Surely in exchange I'll get MLB Nature in, like, 100 pulls

[naive hawk]

im either running 3 lates or 2 ends

3 ends i means

next cm ill raise kawakami to sprint a

halo/kawakami/???

[dawn valve]

This deck doesn't even have a good power card

I brought her to get Tail and didn't get it

[naive hawk]

insane

this is the power of biko

im creekless which is sad

but her next rerun is like the best banner ever

[dawn valve]

You have basically everything else, no complaining allowed

[naive hawk]

for my backline maining ahh

TRUEW

OH!!!!!!

[dawn valve]

That's in, like, a million years

[naive hawk]

but that would mean i skip c.b at the start

hmmge

hmm is the sr teio even good

#thinking

[dawn valve]

Next up for me is pulling Nature, then whaling for Matikane... and then I'm hopefully done whaling for a while

Should be enough time to get gems for anniversary

[naive hawk]

just a medium/corners stam card

uhh idk what im doing next

finemo(the card) rerun

ill see what i get in the 100 matikane pulls

[dawn valve]

I'm not pulling on uma Finemo

Can't afford that

[naive hawk]

i thought about it like first month of the game

but sorry finemo

[dawn valve]

Next uma I'll pull on is valentine clanker

[naive hawk]

CHIYONO O IS AFTER!!!!!!

oh i might do that acutally

[dawn valve]

Easiest front runner to build ever

[naive hawk]

i acutally dont hate fronts anymore

[dawn valve]

Genuinely

Fronts are fun, just painful to build

[naive hawk]

my love for falco has grown

got me my dub

[dawn valve]

But more of the new ones have everything in their kits they need

Kitasan also a front for that matter

[naive hawk]

true..

[dawn valve]

Well, I tried

God knows why her career starts on two mile runs while having a C aptitude

Only 2nd in Asahi, hence no clean slate

[little glen]

might plan to do another shot for vodka and air groove

[dawn valve]

Looking at February there's really only Clanker that is a must pull, the rest is whatever for me

[hazy seal]

Time for me to build long Smaru

[little glen]

There's a potential first anniversary would be at the late February

[hazy seal]

I think she'll be in every cm i play

[little glen]

Funny enough the romantic clanker could fall on the same week as valentine day

[hazy seal]

Had a run where I rested like 5 times total but I goofed it

[little glen]

the only one so far that lines up with jp schedule

[little glen]

it happens

i once had a god run but failed a 1% training and somehow ruined the run miserably

i love this game

I also learned event marvelous ssr is useful for the next scenario

due to race bonus

[hazy seal]

Nah I took wrong skill

[hazy seal]

Well?

[dawn valve]

@naive hawk kinda on a roll rn

Who even needs borrows

[little glen]

...wrong oguri

ah, whatever, at least i got the B in BNW

[naive hawk]

GOAT!!!!!!

AHHHHH BWIA

teach me how you make your parents so well grumps

i tried parent making just to hit no whites and guts 1 star

[dawn valve]

I mean... I don't even make parents intentionally

This is all long exclusive, too

But yeah, I'd say I'm good for that distance now

For Sprint CM I basically have to suffer again

[simple iron]

Trying out the new event card too and the runs are a bit confusing, 2 speed cards vs 3 speed cards

Think i was just wit-stalling way too much in that 2nd run though

[little glen]

25th ura victor!
that run was so good but it still isn't enough tho...

[dawn valve]

Probably just a lowroll, ye. I will say that the Sunday is just not a good stat stick for now

Once MANT hits that'll change I guess

[little glen]

perhaps for this CM

i think i will do BNW for shit and giggles

onwards to winning ticket!

[dawn valve]

But if I actually want to train power I'd bring pretty much any other power card over her

[little glen]

yea same

tho i'd say race bonus helps a little in contribution but not entirely affect your run in huge way

just for this scenario

for now

[dawn valve]

zero training effectiveness be like

[little glen]

very much

ssr matikane speed mlb is going to be a huge hunt

for the next scenario

i doubt i'll get it anyways

[dawn valve]

Both Nature and Matikane are good forit, really.

[little glen]

yea

[hazy seal]

I want to pull

Gimme gimme pulls

[little glen]

It's pretty hard decision bc the nature rerun going to coming up before the main prize

and both are great for mant

[hazy seal]

I am gonna win it all

I just don't know what i am winning

[simple iron]

I liked all the mid-race skills she gives but also thinking if it's even good to have too much mid-race on Late and risk being 5+

[dawn valve]

The problem kinda is that she rarely actually gives them

At least not the one you actually want

(Tails)

[simple iron]

She did in that first run, maybe that made me more biased ^^

[dawn valve]

Oh she occasionally does and I still bring her for copium

But in anything that needs wit I bring her little wit sister instead

Not like I neccessarily need Fast & Furious

Essentially she's just filler cause I don't really have a better second power card for long. None of the SRs are actually any better for it (not even Biwa)

[little glen]

My choice for this was always be Hishi Amazon

[simple iron]

I started trying with Wit build at first (and Nature borrow), but i always end up with the ambiguous 650ish Power/Wit, so that's why i wanted again to focus on Power instead even if she ends on 450 Wit which should technically be 'fine'...

And Power focus should also help with Sta threshold...

[dawn valve]

Yeah, Long just isn't the wit build distance

Literally any other distance works for it though

I need to get myself a friend with an MLB Ines to borrow cause I wanna try a full yolo guts build which she just is the absolute best card for atm

[dreamy trout]

https://www.eeinstagram.com/p/DTW2fC_lA1S/

[little glen]

the pace is really bad here, eugh

into the bin you go

[little glen]

https://tenor.com/view/jenorollism-war-of-the-worlds-ice-cube-coffee-explosion-gif-10019004699677132670

apperantly the best scenario score for winning ticket

i honestly dunno why i couldn't able to get her A+

Cinema

[little glen]

another run and finally net me this

a winning potential is right here

but somehow my taishin is not waking up based on my current run testings so I guess I'll redoing it again woo

[little glen]

tried the speed wit strat here but it seems like i flopped on early game somehow

[naive hawk]

imagine if kitasan showed up to speed

😭😭

[little glen]

i feel like somehow ssr kitasan is nerfed

[dawn valve]

Specialty priority isn't real

[dawn valve]

Lemme give ace Nature a whirl

[dawn valve]

I guess this'll do, lol

The answer to ace Nature is "Fuck wit" as I expected

I always get these random ass high rolls on these random runs I do man

[little glen]

what a wild nature you have there

[hazy seal]

Nice

[dawn valve]

Note the date

I think I'm gonna take the bottom option for the first time

I'm bout to fcking whale cause oof Columbina and Ineffa at the same time

[simple iron]

Finally got Long S and somewhat ok statline but no SSR chains skills, gotta bank that she might survive off 2 whites with 434 Wit
Still gonna put her as a placeholder for now and move on to Teio ^^

[little glen]

okay now this is going to work

[hazy seal]

Will you try make a blocker Suzuka

[little glen]

...i need to have suzuka first

[dawn valve]

Honestly you don't really need that for a long CM

[hazy seal]

Guess what? I am back to playing guts om

I am testing out 2 spd 1 pwr 2 guts

[hazy seal]

Maybe the crowd i was hanging out with is too tryhard

[simple iron]

Not sure if i wanna set this as a placeholder after only one run. and hit the wrong aptitude in the inspiration

[hazy seal]

If I switch the guts and stam number around, it still works right?

[simple iron]

I don't think it's quite 1:1 otherwise really everyone would be going heavy into guts now, since that would also impact Speed&Power while providing a huge duelling buff

Playing around with a calculator it seems Sta it used to determine Effective HP while Guts will determine the HP cost

So with 2 white skills and 1000 Sta/500 Guts it means HP on Nakayama is 3384 while the HP cost is 3243. Turning that around to 500/1000 changes the HP to 2974 but the cost only goes down to 3118

[little glen]

hmm i think i have idea

gonna rebench taishin again but this time with ryan and/or dober uniques

[dawn valve]

I mean... that's the general standard

[dawn valve]

You know, during practice runs I've more and more realized why Long CMs are so shit for Lates. It's simply the fact that your average lobby will have 5 or more end closers, at which point Lates will only rarely get into the position they need to be in. It's not that their skills fire at bad times, they just don't fire at all or way too late when Ends have already passed them in spurt

[little glen]

gotta outsmart the algorithm, you know

New wholesome Uma Musume story just dropped
︀︀
︀︀By the end of 2025, a fan of Haru Urara who suffers from muscular atrophy, a condition that has confined her to a wheelchair for life attended a music show in Tokyo. She came to perform a song of gratitude dedicated to Haru Urara, along with two additional songs about horse racing.
︀︀
︀︀Keiko Tanaka, from the Adachi district of Tokyo, once lived with deep anxiety. She felt like a loser who couldn't survive without the help of others and worried that her condition was merely a burden to those around her. However, while her optimism was fading, she heard the story of a horse that had lost 113 consecutive races at the Kochi Racecourse.
︀︀
︀︀“She taught me that living life as you are is the true meaning of life”
︀︀
︀︀Back in 2004, Tanaka had lost track of her idol and feared that Haru might have been discarded because she was no longer considered 'useful.' After Haru moved between various locations…

Daaaaamn

Guts gaming is fun

No Sprint proc though

@naive hawk look guts gaming

[naive hawk]

AURA...

this runable

[dawn valve]

I failed my last training at 14%

Otherwise speed would be maxed

[naive hawk]

all im saying is GET THAT LONG TO A 🗣️

HAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA

https://tenor.com/view/uma-musume-uma-musume-ohoho-ohohoho-gif-3733510057653323639

gifs you can hear

[dawn valve]

And yeah, I kinda assume most of you can actually run this

Just make sure you have at least one full 9* spd spark legacy

[naive hawk]

i cant wait for mant

[dawn valve]

Guts gaming not for long

[naive hawk]

funny i also have that doto mlb'd and uhh the groove

think outside of wit cards guts is like the most mlb i got

like lowkey if you got the hints from bijin for the greens aswell and long was atleast b

thats kinda gas

[dawn valve]

You should have all of these, really. Just need to borrow Ines

[naive hawk]

i think i had a dude on my friends list with it

recently its been no a+ runs

just kitasan not kitasanning

[dawn valve]

Actually I still won the Kikuka Sho anyway

[naive hawk]

sweep tosho solo rainbow for 16 speed

[dawn valve]

... but lost the Derby

Cause lol

[naive hawk]

king halo moment

[dawn valve]

I will try this again tomorrow. Like, this was pretty high roll, but at the same time it kinda wasn't

guts team only combined their forces, like, twice

And no power blues at all

I can honestly see the triple SS potential

SHould be noted btw that this was for Sprint, if it wasn't obvious

Hence this

[little glen]

wit low must rebench

unless guts could be a help'n hand for pushing your pure uma's speed and strength

[naive hawk]

hol up

now together its 6 stam 6 speed 3 power and a 1 star wit 😭

okay and now i ruined my run by going top option riko

[little glen]

not exactly sure what is the exact chance of failing the first option

but so far from the three latest runs using the top option i succeeded

maybe 10% fail chance?

if that's around that rate i probably consider do top option if i failed to get the dating event unlocked before the junior year ends

[simple iron]

Iirc people were saying Turf S might actually be stronger on spring

[naive hawk]

okay lowkey guys i havent hit an A+ in days AM I WASHED?- a

[dawn valve]

ye

[dawn valve]

This is a good parent though

[little glen]

tried doing this setup but this run was mid bc of slow metabolism + no speed friendships by alot at the late game

tho this has potential

just need a better rng

okay yep, no xmas ogu

that's all my carats gone

[simple iron]

This is why i'm thinking my Late Teio idea might be awful after all, but i don't think i have parents that can viably make her End and i'm don't think there's any good Pace ults for this at all

So as Pace it really comes down to purely gambling on Head-On proccing immediately in endgame

[hazy seal]

I'll create a spring runner by putting Xoguri and Smaru unique on her

Looks like there's a mini-event going on right now, winning HJF gives some Gold City shards

Nothing announced though, maybe they'll tweet about it in 4 hours ^^

Festival City, ye

I think anyway

[little glen]

...okay cygames, i want to talk about something

[little glen]

even with all those taishins i have even with dober's unique, in all the open testing runs she really didn't move at all

like how i'm supposec to do when there's a better taishin stole my win

[dawn valve]

Pretty decent statement, really

[little glen]

let's see how youtubers/players react to this

[dawn valve]

I'm sure it will be a normal and well adjusted reaction

[little glen]

One thing that I noted is that "without prior notice"

Seeing people say JPN moved to 5 borrows with FineMo banner, so not sure if we're getting it now too

Feels like they would've announced it by now if we would

[hazy seal]

Or will they package it under the big update thingy

[little glen]

the latter is better imo

the 1st jp anniversary event should take place at the end of February
