I judged the TopDeck (Pittsburgh) Store Regional and the top 6 were: 1. BY Luffy 2. Bonney 3. CP0 Lucci 4. RP Law 5. RP Law 6. Boa Not sure of lists or 7&8 but those were the 5-1s and 6-0 Luffy
Ooo probably green uta! There's also new starter decks coming out in Octoberish that are a refresh entry point for new players of 6 existing starters/leaders and most of those will be great as well!
@JoyBoysTCG I managed to find 2 zoro and sanji starters for retail I'm just gonna start with that seemings they are the boys will probs get smashed when I play but ohh well
will finish in the top cut across multiple events but unlikely to win or take a large number of spots at a single event based on factors. Nami is a good example with multiple event top cuts (and now after this video came out a win) but never being more than 1 or 2 of the top cut deck pool
For the most part this is a decent video. I disagree on the reasoning and would have liked more in depth reasoning (example, Enel is clearly so superior to Kata that it isn't worth playing) and would have probably just enjoyed the high level analysis (ie quick methods of gathering data instead of 20 minutes on methods) and then talk about decks in a more concrete (ie having a decklist, comparing curve outs to show why it is or isn't better). Not putting Katakuri into rogue is straight rude though lol.
so we actually do a prediction video closer to the start of each format, though without decklists, where we talk more about decks (we're reworking to format to be even more informative OP08 like you're looking for) and so this is a FOLLOW UP to that, so for what you're looking for I'd suggest going back a few uploads on the channel :) HENCE why the video starts with an already completed tier list as we mention
I think my comment wasn't clear, so I'm sorry about that. I just meant that going through decks that actually won and looking at their tech could been cool. I actually didn't feel like this was a tier list video at all (which is fine) and more of an analysis of decks that topped. Hours later, I actually had kind of forgotten there was even a tier list and the analysis on topping decks was more what I thought about. Just food for thought.
totally good to know! We're always trying to improve and evolve our content. I think it's about finding a balance that works. On both ends without things being too dense of recording/runtime, since at the end of the day the goal is to make a good RU-vid video, which maybe means just breaking it out into a sperate video so we can take our time and prep properly to focus. Appreciate the feedback!
@andrewjones162 i think people vastly underestimate this deck because so many people play bricky lists and arent good at it. The only hard matchup rn is lucci imo
😂 unplayable means “not worth building”. So for the sake of views you’re being obtuse and hiding being the “haters call me fat” excuse to not taking objectively correct criticism. Just get rid of the meh category completely then. if bello Betty is the inferior deck to op07 dragon but is meh not unplayable when they do similar things, that makes me think two things: that At best, you didn’t actually try to thoughtfully finish this list and just went for low hanging fruit top tier listing. At worst, you’re purposely making inaccurate content for views. congrats on the boost in algorithm I guess lol
the "calling me fat thing" is just a joke about how all comments are good for the algo, we make plenty of them through our videos as a running gag that "any comment is a good comment" (obviously anything blatantly hateful we'd just delete and block) def see how that can be misconstrued off one video if you're not familiar The meh category represents things that you can enjoy playing at locals but even among the local tier would struggle to win a 4 round event, whereas anything in the "stays at locals" can reasonably go 4-0 amongst that casual smaller event. Belo does not do similar things to Dragon. Dragon requires you to build board states and leverage while dodging your opponent's removal and has a bigger life total to buffer early aggression while you sit back not attacking until you can leverage characters with don attachment abilities effectively. Belo actively requires your opponent to attack into you to properly build effective board pressure since you are a majority trigger based deck. Your opponent can thus easily starve you by not attacking until they build out a sizable board and setup defensive options. Then as a 4 life leader it is way easier to turn that corner from starving to dead than a 5 life leader. Also not sure if you know but this is our follow up video to our meta predictions, so like we arent really talking about placements we're reviewing event data and comparing it to our speculation. Hope this helps give you better perspective on why this video is the way it is
