He is so good man im so glad hes finally getting recognition

entered boostio in IGL/misc tournament winner and uh, didnt work
edit: is this based on data from only this year? Saad and FNS dont work either. Saad/Boostio also dont work as “igl/initiator” despite that they both will flex to init on multiple maps

Original clutch god returns for one match to take his revenge

team 4 clears

Bro whaaat wym he completely dickrides the MC just in a different way than the others
Tbh, hes just the exact type of character trope that REALLY pisses me off. I can see other people liking him, its just this specific archetype is like, idk man, i just despise characters like this so much, not despise as in i think theyre bad, as in “i hate you so much i want to kill you SO BAD”

I am aware that zhongli got “countered” recently with the Arle boss and whatnot, but still, for a vast majority of the game, zhongli makes caring about HP useless. Even riftwolves that were SUPPOSED to counter it just dont do enough to be more than an annoyance.

Anyway, buggy hitboxes was an exaggeration, some things do feel like they hit too much/too far, but in a fight with multiple enemies that have attacks that can knock you down, you can get stuck for a solid 5 seconds or more if youre unlucky and their attack RNG lands right (get up - one knocks you down - get up - next knocks you down - continue loop). It doesnt even have to be multiple enemies sometimes, some have attacks that hit multiple times that last for a while that do the “you got knocked over!” Thing (i mean like bro the fucking WILD BOAR mobs that are just for meat drops can stunlock you, it has happened to me before in the middle of fighting other enemies that a boar charges me and KEEPS RUNNING into my body, spam knocking me over and i cant attack at all.)

mondstadt is ESPECIALLY bad, but other regions are bad too. Liyue city has more npcs, esp uninteractible ones sure but not enough for the sheer size of the city. Its supposed to be like, the largest, busiest port in the WORLD. It is mostly empty and maybe 3 NPCs from other regions. In a humongous port city. Inazuma is a… fucking barren wasteland of soldiers and almost no one else. There are tons of soldiers, then like 20 interactable NPCs, +10 counting the shrine, mil camp, and kokomis island (which dont even get me started the “village” there is like fully unpopulated, kokomi is protecting like almost no one. Then no one else in inazuma, except maybe quest NPCs that dissapear when youre done with them. Sumeru is OK because you cant really see how empty it is since its so cluttered and field of vision so blocked, but damn, there are like NO people there. A few academics here, a few guards and mercs there, sprinkle some merchants in their stalls, then no one else - like there are what are supposed to be huge bustling markets like the stage area in the tree and the many outdoor markets with JUST merchants - no customers, no one to buy their things, no one living. Fontaine is easily the worst though - it seems fine because the areas that matter are populated and you only ever really go there (like the adv. guild area) - but the moment you leave, go to the outskirts of this GINORMOUS city the size of liyue and mondstadt cities combined, there is fucking NO one. Its abandoned. I admit though fontaine does have good sub-POIs that feel decently enough populated.
Star Rail is peak “this city that is supposed to be massive and filled with people” representation, it is easily the best with TONS of non-interactable NPCs just doing shit, making it seem like, yk, actual CITIES. Genshin “cities” feel like small towns populations that moved into huge abandoned cities

bang used recon before most others did. Besides, almost all of if not all of his clips are with the red recon phantom. even if others use it, he was still early on with it, and it shows up in most of his crazy plays

ya i was thinking of that one i didnt realize until a bit ago that its all fucked now

TRUE. And they have switch-Zelda esque dodge tech, stuff like counters/parries, and more like that. Its actual somewhat-complex combat with depth. Goes for the difficulty as well. Genshin makes things difficult just by adding more HP/more damage (and annoying gimmicks), but wuwu actually punishes players for (bigger) mistakes, and enemies have gimmicks that arent annoying but still make them challenging to fight. Its really nice bc genshin boss battles are either 2 seconds or 15 years, but wuwu boss battles are mostly based off of skill as long as your chars arent underleveled/underbuilt. You can actually lose wuwu fights simply bc you played it wrong or played too risky, unlike genshin where the only time you ever die is enemies that can one-tap you for no reason or have buggy hitboxes/rapid hit attacks that last for way too long and stunlock you because you never pulled for Mr. Unbreakable Shield Man that makes you never need to dodge

oh i just pulled it up it looks diff than i remember
it used to be similar to vlr ui just better now its kinda odd

No team equivalent
aggression factor? at best u can say peak smoke criminal stewie2k, but otherwise, no equivalent

No way it has cs2 and fortnite now LMFAO
tbh its USED to be the better site (UI, general quality, stats, etc - not anymore, they fucked the UI and vlr caught up in stats and articles) but VLR was first and its forums got pretty big and thespikes never had a chance to grow because there wasnt really a big reason to use thespike over vlr when the forums were dead and VLRs werent

Artist - Album

OGRE YOU ASSHOLE - Papercraft
Fishmans - Orange
Polkadot Stingray - Nanimono
Yoru no Honki Dance - Intelligence

Pretty different choices here, good variety in style, you might like multiple or one in specific

Realistically it wont surpass genshin in player count but the bar that genshin has set for WuWu to clear for gameplay, generosity, and story is REALLY low
Even if not playerwise it will 100% surpass it GAME wise. For me its already better simply because the combat isnt slop and the world actually is full - genshin feels fucking empty the way it has 10 people in a city, only 1 city and maybe 2 other populated places per region, practically no wildlife, etc
There are tooons of settlements in WuWu with a lot of people in them, and different species of animals (not even the monsters, there are just a shitload of animals, its nice) and different types of each animal (like fur color and horns or no horns etc) and the foliage is way nicer

As others have said, story is mid asf and confusing at that, which is def annoying, but i still dont mind it, because at least i dont have FUCKING paimon SCREECHING in my ears, re-explaining LITERALLY EVERYTHING that ANY character says. The game doesn’t assume were stupid.
For me, the combat is PEAK when compared to genshin - you actually have combos and meters and real mechanics rather than genshit “click left click then press e and q and switch to next character and repeat” type simple boring slop combat. Also, im not sure if its permanent thing (i really hope it is), but theres an area thats similar to a Spiral Abyss/Simulated Universe hybrid, with character-specific buffs and sim uni curio-esque things, and on top of that theres added depth with unique paths that you need to fulfill for more buffs (again a lot like Star Rail’s Sim Uni but a little more complex in a good way). It DOES have the same ability-description issue as Genshin, where its just incomprehensible word slop, BUT there are legit character tutorials that teach basic combos and how their abilities and meters and shit work, with good descriptions, so you can actually learn wtf youre doing without looking it up, where genshin char trials are literally just brief shitty descriptions of the character ONCE in the beginning and then they throw you into it, no real learning
Gacha sys/rewards are also god tier compared to genshin - so so so fucking generous. Genshin literally gave THREE individual single pulls for their 3yr anniversary, and their pre-signup rewards when it came out were utter dogshit compared to wuthering. WuWu has already dropped so many free pulls, guaranteed standard 5* voucher for weapon AND character, the 20% off standard puller is available up until you get a 5 star from it, compared to genshins being limited to 2 10x’s total, and more
There are some bugs, for sure, which sucks, but personally none of them have happened to me EXCEPT voice dialouge audio ending a second or two early (which is annoying but fine since there are subtitles)
Also, it is like, almost exactly 1:1 Genshin’s UI, which is funny, so if youre used to that then thats a plus for you

i hate him so much idk how yall like him i want to beat his ass into a pulp on the ground consistently as a reoccurring story beat that this mf always gets his ass beat by the main character annoying cocky ass bitch Scar

Thats true yeah
Fair

Awful generalization bro its really just regional its not “white people cant” “americans cant” tolerate spice its “people that dont grow up eating spicy food have a hard time with it when older”

I assure you a vast majority of Southern/Western americans have pleeeenty of spice tolerance given the regional foods / what immigrants to those areas have brought (chinese, korean, japanese, thai, filipino, laotian, etc and obviously mexican/latino food is spicy as well, which is common in the south/the west)
low spice tolerance people are obviously more common in the northeast/north central US, sure, yeah there are a lot of low spice tolerance americans, but there are just as many who are fine with spice.
I agree that there are chinese foods that dont get sold/made in the US, sure, but those are 99% of the time ingredient things or non-spice related palette things (like for example fermented stuff is usually less popular)
If you want a real place with low spice tolerance and fake chinese food have you ever seen UK chinese food? That shit is ass and def not very spicy at all

Do you know these artists? If not you should listen, theyre j rock. If you havent listened to them before i can reccomend some specific songs bc their popular ones are usually more mid 😭😭
OGRE YOU ASSHOLE
Yoru no Honki Dance
Polkadot Stingray
Momorurugyaban

simply arent dominant wins, theyre always pretty damn close, so theyre easily chalked up to a fluke/excusable
thats all

nice
is this a college or HS class?
Only time ive heard of a hs with an east asian language was one nearby where i lived before i moved, but that is because like 40% of the population of the town was korean
otherwise have never heard of a single hs offering korean, japanese, chinese, etc

if you mean shibainu, he is banned
Unfortunately its not permanent but he is banned right now
If you mean someone else,
What?

I cleared it as well all the way up to Dec 9th, the only times she duos are with GC pros who are her friends or simply just her ex teammates from DART.

I have gone through grimoires Tracker.
From today all the way to december 9th, she has only queued with a few people multiple times. A few games with panini, a few games with irene, a few games with avery, a few games with cbui, and ill end listing them there. She only ever duo queues, and not even for every game. Every single person she duo queues with is either an ex-DART player (bunny bee, avery, etc) , or someone she is friends with (panini, cbui, irene, etc)
Most of them are reputable and have VLR pages.

Rarely, she queues with a rando (afaik) for ONE game, which can hardly be called boosting as its not like every one of those rando queues is a win.
Everything i can see shows absolutely NO evidence for getting boosted. No 5 stacks, no weird alts , etc.

I know i went only to december 9th, but thats tens, maybe hundreds of matches, and im not getting paid to go any further.

I just find it really sus
they say its NOT the person who has been boosting everyone else
then they proceed to not give any names at all and just be like "trust me shes getting boosted"
How are they sure? They dont know who shes getting boosted by, theyre not showing games of her getting boosted, etc etc

They could, at the very least, provide a username of the booster account, even if its not their main. But no, they just say its happening without giving a name, without giving tracker proof of boosting, without anything at all, the only thing the dude says is "Shes not getting boosted by (the boosting guy) but shes getting boosted"
What? Show us why you think that then

Dude tdawg had proof for everyone except grimoire i highly doubt this
all his buddy said was "its not deshaunte but its happening" basically a "dude trust me bro"
he doesnt even show a tracker of grimoire getting boosted

stellar for sure

shut up the only thing that left was the queen
