So we can be obvious and say Nagant and Nejire's alpha is annoying but today I speak about another annoying character with a busted alpha. Actually 2. Red and Blue deku.

First I want to ask why. For what purpose do both of these characters have such strong alphas well let me explain. First with red Deku.

I know I called Nejire a machine gun last time but genuinely what the actual Byking is this. It's less than 4 seconds to use all your 6 alpha at BASE. That's not even the worse part even if you're only hitting the 3 in the middle you're doing 42 per tick, in less than 4 seconds you can shred someone go instantly. That's level 1. So yeah that's fair. Totally balanced. Level one move that does 280 dmg in less than 4 seconds. If you're close it's less than 3. Okay so that's level 1 can't get worse right? Incorrect. Actually the level 9 is horrific. 4. Just four of these assuming you hit every shot, gaurd breaks you and leaves you a fourth of your hp. 440 dmg IN ~3 SECONDS WITH ONE MOVE UNTUNED. The plus ultra version is even worse, it literally leaves you with like an 8th of your hp.

But y'know what that's unfair to the red deku players, I get that most of their moves are up close and more than likely they'll be hitting the full fan but let's just say you're lazy or are far way. 5. 5 is all you need to put someone at max gp to half hp from the like medium distance but if you're far then it's a measly 6. Y'know a staggering 4 seconds of your time to completely erase someone. So yeah he can just execute anyone w/o tuning btw. These are BASE DAMAGE and JUST using alpha. Oh yeah I'm adding this later because I forgot to but, with 2 red cards and plus ultra you can kill someone with 4 shots.

Now with just a teenie bit of aiming a practice you can do gamma → beta and straight up insta kill anyone without gp. Now I know lots of characters can do that but just because a fallacy is accepted does not mean it's correct. I think combos are cool, I like ass haul and (unfortunately) red hawks because they combo which red hawks also has the problem of insane ones however I think they shouldn't MURDER you instantly like a certain someone, he's getting his own post.

Okay enough about Red Deku we have to talk about his older brother, Blue Deku. Now his alpha is just annoying. Not a pencil sharpener like Red but not fair either. You charge for half a second then blast out a quick 80 dmg, 95 at max. It's a great tool and I'd say it's a good alpha for the character, however the jump version is annoying. If you jump and alpha at around the same time, you're still close enough off the ground to, alpha → melee. Now I know, I know, you have to do the groundbreaking task of getting close. Y'know when you have 2 moves that dash you forward and a special action that makes you faster. So you can get overdrive off that but it hard knocks. It also does like 60% of their HP but we'll keep moving.

So assuming you activated gearshift and hit the combo, you basically won, if they got gaurdbroken then you win. All you have to do is wait for them to get up, Gamma → Melee and they're dead. That's not factoring in his beta. So you just charge for half a second then dash forward for damage, pretty fair but it's like a missle, randomly during matches you get 100 hp taxed from you because the dude can literally fly so hitting it isn't hard. But y'know he have quintuple which I never really cared for. I mean sure it shreds 200 hp but it's really only good of he's like above you in final zone or in a room. Or if you just use common sense, look for people, use gamma → gamma → beta → hold special action → USE YOUR EYES AND FIND PEOPLE → hold beta. That's a nuke of 160+ dmg. Now that's actually a fun way to use the character however it still is insane because deku can stay in the airborne for 15 seconds. His moves are fun just paired together I think it's annoying. Oh yeah for the combo you can slightly change it if you have plus ultra gamma*2 → beta*2 → Plus Ultra → special action hold → beta → hold beta. That gets you to sky box most of the time, I just tried it on the usj from the water and it reaches.

In conclusion, I really hate these characters who have broken alphas, my next post will cover the rat characters.

Why in the world does this character exist? Who wanted this stupid character added in this game. She can fly indefinitely, had massive alphas that die crazy damage and heal, has a massive beta, and on top of all this she can give her teammates over shield and heal them. What part about that is fair? What part about that is skilled? How did you have fun genuinely playing this baby easy character?

My main issue is her alpha. Why in the world can she fucking fly and rain her alphas nonstop which EXPLODE and Heal her teammates? For what purpose does she need 10 alphas? Genuinely I think Byking doesn't play their game because there's no way they see these characters like Toga and Nejire and think they did a good job balancing the character.

Side bit, why does matchmaking also suck? I remember i was expert two and wonder why my teammates were so shit and these guys are gold 1 or JUST getting into expert 1, like first match in expert 1, then the people I fight are almost exclusively Ace. It just confuses me why the team imbalance is so noticable.
