It's so over

Silksong's p5 isn't going to be beatable. I also don't think I would want to even try something like this in Silksong. Silksong does copy over some of the hk boss body damage as main attack design which wasn't much of a problem with shade cloak but I think it'll better show it's flaws here

A slight advantage over the other but maps like crableg, museum, etc where you can't hide from crab give huge advantage to first person to pop crab in opening probably 80/20

-Sam @samcrabgod.bsky.social · 10h

Exactly what I'm talking about is shown on the area cup stream semi finals crableg game where the first crab gets insane value on pen and also notice the entire yellow team isn't even playing mid it's because first crab there always wins. Usually it's 60/40 with the first player to pop crab having

Probably the most oppressive spot I've found is top left grates on opening with crab on crableg it's so good I have considered defaulting back there for holds instead of crabbing top right half of the map . Haven't made any progress to see if it's worth it yet though

The teams usually still play off those mistakes well enough to make it not really matter though

Watching area cup and I noticed the players using the exact same crab spots that I self taught myself. It's very nice to see. Their timings are definitely a little better but I also see them making some of the same mistakes I make (usually overcommitting to popping crab and losing it for push)

Our losses were to 1st place, 2nd place, and 10th place overall. These next weeks will show better results for us. I am confident we can finish top 8 and I will prove that

Only your 5 best runs are counted for. The top 8 teams that have the best 5 runs (get the most points) make playoffs

I take more offense by how they handle both game losses. They act like they should've won both games and it's the end of the world that they didn't.

It's pretty funny lol while also being a bit upsetting

And I hate when these players joke and don't try/change their comp to troll. To me it seems like the thought process is we are so good that you don't deserve to fight us when we are trying (and I think this mentality goes for quite a few + players)I want these sets to be tough. It's all for practice

They also blamed their superjump loss to us dqing (Reasoning was they didn't have a warmup match for the set right after us). This player has an unchecked ego that ends up contributing to why they lose these games/sets. That also goes for so many players who can't handle losses lol

Oh also my improvement has been coming in waves. Once before/during Artifice and once again now. I notice my level of play rising/at least getting more consistent. Very happy to be taking this level of play into the NA League with this team. We have more to work on tho!

Got 3rd Barnacle Bash with my team which is about what I expected. Happy with how we played but once again not happy with how we are being treated

I don't think it takes much effort to put a little thought into how we talk about others
