Thank you! This has to be my favourite comp in the game

@@hiimhanger Same here! I haven't seen any comp like it yet and on defense its amazing as well!

​@@AFKWogieit did get stomped by a phraesto, vala, hewynn, carolina, arden team though hahaha the one loss i had today

I love afkjourney

Kinda huge agree tbh

I made my no mask

This is why you see me feint into blocking a lot. He will continue to press buttons without thinking, so all I have to do is think for myself and deconstruct his impulses, since all it is is impulses and little thought.

Yezzir

​@@hiimhanger i need a sauce

@@Hobokhaki not allowed king

It is not complicated, if you look at how he plays from a simpler perspective. His goal is simply to overwhelm. This requires him to use Kahlt, which is too strong on Abs China Edition, so that he can force me to feint. Because he is forcing me to feint, he will simply randomly attack. If he is wrong more than 2 times in a row, he will absorb again. On the occasion that I am correctly making decisions and stopping him for a long period of time, he will simply choose to continue attacking through every hit he takes. His entire goal is to make me feint and parry, while he presses buttons without too much thought. Since his deck mostly focuses on fast moves, he can do this for a long period of time, without much risk of me reacting to him. If he had a better deck and had to play slower and could not force me to block as much, his mindset will change quite a lot. As it stands, his game is simple. Make Hanger miss a parry, make Hanger feint, then block 1 attack from Hanger, then try to interrupt. If wrong, absorb, and then repeat the process. To answer this, all I have to do is block.

@@hiimhanger Will you be disappointed with Taiger?

@@AllieMcguire-sb5yb i am disappointed with how he plays indeed. He's a good player. His reactions are solid and he has a good grasp of fundamental patterns. However, he is too stubborn with trying to interrupt that he loses because of it. I hope there are people in China who can punish his playstyle so that he can learn to be even better. I have high expectations for him, and I want to see him grow.

@@hiimhanger He once said that he wanted to use every card to its fullest. For example, if the first card in the deck is a jab, he wants to try it in every order, 123 456, and then try other moves, whether it is a fast attack or a slow attack, or even a wrong card structure, he wants to make full use of it. So he used everyone's deck before, and played very well. To be honest, maybe his ideas are weird. He used your card before and beat us all. I can only say that he is a very weird player, but his mentality is always the best.

Thanks, we'll let him know.

Watch the forsaken fight.

You are correct, but a big reason why Taiger didn't win any rounds is not because Kahlt is weak, it's because he played the game poorly against stagger.

You notice I'm not even abusing my charged move as the match goes on? I wanted to demonstrate how a style like Taiger's which depends on his deck being veru fast and stopping you from defending, is easily killed off if I do nothing but block. However, this does not make an interesting game to play.

Then you will find that playing against him is very tiring, and he keeps fighting like the God of War.

With all due respect, Taiger has good reactions, but he is very easy to beat. He does nothing but attack without care if he is hit or not, and then make guesses on which places he wants to defend. I will be 100% honest, with as little disrespect I can give to him because he's a good person and his guessing is not bad, but the majority of the games I lose against him, I choose to lose because I get very bored fighting his playstyle. But he is a good person, and I love him very much.

​@@hiimhangerboring? But I feel like it's a tactic that's just not recognized

@@AllieMcguire-sb5yb it is recognised. It's called "mashing". And it's less of a tactic than it is playing the game poorly and hoping your opponent gets annoyed. All I should be doing is blocking more. But if my entire game is blocking because he won't stop pressing buttons, then I don't want to plau the game in the first place.

@@hiimhanger I understand, but I want to give my evaluation

Real

Fuck i watch on public

​@@Hobokhaki get owned

U realise that hobokhaki is the protagonist in the videos right? I'm the one doing the bullshit

@hiimhanger you don’t know who I am do you, fucking around is the real way to play. Abusing frame data and mechanics is easy. Winning with kahlt and a trash deck though? Now that’s skill.

@@Sirameo sir what im doing is not fucking around, what im doing is abusing what makes absolver a bad game, nothing about what i do with backunlocking or backwalking, whether im winning with kahlt or a shite deck is skillful. just because backwalkers and back unlockers dont abuse those mechanics to their full potential, doesnt make those mechanics more generally acceptable. the whole point of me making the videos is to highlight why the mindset and approach many players adopt with the game is flawed. in short, hobokhaki playing stagger (nerfed on plus bigtime) on his host, and losing to backwalk against a guy who is doing nothing but tapping him with 1/16th of his health each time while simultaneously not actually being able to defend against anything unless the button is pressed 1s in advance, should speak volumes about how stupid this shit is. it applies regardless of the difference in hobo and my skill levels as well. it's peak absolver brainrot. im gonna shit in the bed

@@hiimhanger yea I could only use reaching, so what? Anyone can break the game but the ones who use stagger are the worst, I’m not soloing this one video you’ll always be kahlt in my head, just because you’re using what most players use unironically doesn’t make you any worse or better, the players that cosplay as marked ones using flawed decks and inefficient mechanics will always have more respect in my eyes than anyone who willingly plays stagger.

@@Sirameo idk how you've managed to cope yourself around to thinking this way but this is full blown delusional

watch me use this garbage deck? idk

In your first game against him, your attacks were very fierce and he was always on the defense. In these few games, he attacked fiercely and you were on the defense. I feel like he did it on purpose.

​@@AllieMcguire-sb5yb i think you are misunderstanding what happened. The first deck in the first game was not made by me. It was a bad deck. And the ONLY way to use it was to play stupidly and constantly attack. The correct way to respond to it is to be defensive. Fierceness has no impact on the success of the deck itself, only the deck itself and the skill of the player behind the deck can impact that. As for the 2nd game, after I changed decks, I could be more meticulous and have less attacks but more important decisions. This was a decision not forced on me by Taiger, but one I chose to do myself, simply because it was better to do so.

​@@hiimhangerI agree with your point of view, thank you for your explanation

​@@hiimhangerI found a very interesting thing. Because of your match with him, many players came online and it became lively again. Haha😂

@@AllieMcguire-sb5yb keep fighting, china

ok go off king

@@hiimhanger okay bare with me, I know eye poke isn’t the best and I know that I eventually trap myself and it’s really cheesy but I think you’ll like it anyway, I’ll post the video soon. I’m going for style points now, idc about the numbers game, I got tired of the numbers game years ago.

Just wanna say this just in case it isn't clear, i mean no judgement or offense to you personally. I'm just giving my honest take on the deck itself, based on well established deck and gameplay principles. It'd be sick if you could get a pc and chill with the academy and plus lads. Lots of players come through and learn very quickly why plus players tend to have strong opinions. It's not a supremacy or judgement thing, I can promise you that, it's very much that we all care about the state of gameplay, and people improving and understanding why they're actually improving or not impacts the state of gameplay and the relevant communities. I really don't mean anything personally, so I hope you understand that

@@hiimhanger oh i get it, it is a joke, im saying syke right now; this deck is meant to counter the mind numbing playstyle of stagger mashers on ps4, not a seasoned faejin beta tester. no offense taken, it was never meant to knock your socks off but this next deck i want you to see DEFINITELY will. much love hanger, you're the best!

Fire

Send me your deck on discord @.hanger, I'll use it! But i will tell you straight if it's bad 😂

@@hiimhanger I’m a mindless fuck and it’s let me beat plenty of high tier players, I don’t know if I’ll be able to get on discord though

@@hiimhanger I’ll make a video of it for you explaining how I’ve used it and I’ll see what you think from there, I will delete it after you’ve seen it though because my deck is like the reanimation jutsu.

@@Sirameo rock it lad

@@hiimhanger my deck has a lot of depth for higher tier play so you’d probably feel very comfortable with it

Some shite i put together just with the concept of "how many 15frame openers can i reasonably fit into my deck"

Anh yeu em
