It was more a hypothetical "even if Legendaries and Epics were strictly better cards that's still not the only consideration for deck building" than anything else.

That's how I intended it to be pronounced, but in those VODS some wise guy kept going "Froooodgey" instead of "Fruh-dgey". If I'm making fun of an accent then I apologize deeply. I've been made fun of my Canadian accent on more than one occasion. Also apparently I sound Newfie as well, if that means anything to anyone haha.
Edit: Watching Ken stream Smash right now...so crazy to see right after watching some of this documentary. I had absolutely no idea who any of these players were but now I do and I feel privileged to be able to watch them. I remember a very short period of time where I tried to get into Smash and learn the basic advanced stuff like Wavedashing and whatnot but I failed miserably---then went to a tourney and failed harder. Sucks being shitty at video games, getting randomly motivated to try and get better and then losing that motivation pretty f-ing quick.

Were you there when he announced he was coming out of retirement to play for Liquid? It was batshit crazy

You have offended my accent and I so deeply that I'm not entirely certain if I can ever see you in the same light ever again. How dare you.
Played a lil Project M with a friend. We are both really fucking scrubby at Smash (no advanced tactics/wave dashing/DI'ing if thsoe are even in Project M), but it was fun as fuqq.
I knew about Ken the player (I play Marth just because Ken combo looks so cool, and Marth in general seems like a solid footsie-based character similar to Ryu/98 Iori), but when he announced his sponsorship by TL, I didn't realize how massive it was.

Very late, but funny you mention that. KOF13's charge timing is A LOT shorter than games like SF. How I wish 3S Urien was as easy to charge with as Leona. But yea, Leona's hard to play properly (and win with).
Was managing to somehow get a combo in practice mode, facing right with the IA in the corner. Then go into a match against friend, fail to get the opener in most of the time, learn there's recoil so it's harder outside of a corner, miss the timing because unprepared, and spend my time jumping over him then rolling right back inside his hits. I'd rather fat finger a HD activation, I don't hit anything to perform drive cancels so it wouldn't be a big loss.
(And what I thought having found a short combo turned out to actually be the middle part of a refined "basic" one. Welp.)
Charge input for Arika's SF is 2 seconds, KoF XIII seemed closer to 1s so far but it's still hard to get a hang of.

Fukkireta is an actual song sung by a Vocaloid clone. The one Scip linked is just a MAD someone on NicoNico probably made where clips from a moe-blob show are spliced with Nintendo songs.
Na I was talking about Crusnik's Witch Doctor Song. I know Fukkireta (Slam Fukkireta is stupidly catchy) but don't speak Japanese, I wouldn't pick up any lyrics. And I didn't pay attention to Scip's stuff.

It's not an accent you'd have. Hint: MB and I are Euros. The guy in the VoD is 'murican.

You don't, that the thing. I was winning a bunch of games at one point then 2 days later people started playing more Sludge Belchers (despite them being available for 2 weeks already) and I lost allmost all of them, it takes away so much tempo and resources. From what I've seen Paladins use stuff like Equality to remove them, Hunters have the mark, and both them and Priest tend to run Owls (I guess if there's a big guy behind him on the board a Priest can use Shadow Madness the way they use it against Harvest Golems).
No idea what to replace Ragnaros with in that midrange deck though. And to answer your question use Deadly Poison, Eviscerate, Backstab and SI:7 (combo with Coin or Backstab ideally) to clear the board as efficiently as possible early, then use the board control to kill them. No big combo, no flashy finisher, just reliable board control. Use the taunts and 3 HP minions to make it more resilient to UtH and other 2 attack tokens/tiny minions with a buff. You don't have Priest nor Druid lategame so you're still more aggro than them, your taunts + Blade Flurry should make you last against zoo till they run out of steam (and you have Argent Commanders and Ragnaros to finish the job then; Sludge Belchers are super good to force removal). Since you're not combo reliant you fare better than aggro/facerush against Warrior.

Hai.
Me and the crew over here messing with AC+ atm to get back into grove of things and learn GG before it drops. I got my poolsticks ready.
Nice that you'll be playing but playing AC is a pretty bad idea. Dunno if you played Xrd but it's nothing like AC. I'd say P4A has a closest feel to it if you actually wanna train for it !
I can't waiiiiiit the game gets released on consoles. Been a long time since I've been as hyped as this for a fighting game !

Sup guys. Has anyone here read 7 Habits of Highly Effective People? I highly, highly recommend you read it ASAP if you haven't.
Beat Guacamelee! last night. Very solid game. Combat was lots of fun, much deeper than that of most Metroidvanias. I imagine it gets far more challenging in the harder difficulties too, meaning I wouldn't just be able to button-mash through most things. Combos would be required instead. Biggest gripe is that it was only 5 hours-ish long, though that was without 100% stuff, so that's partially my fault for sure.

Going to tournies is like the quickest way to lose motivation to play lol.
