WhatAboutBob? and I played like... 14 total sets of Block 4 (aka Mini-Block). That's like... around 30 games. He lieks hiss Zee May deck and I liek mai Eye-Vee deck. We love mini-block, just like Tanner, except without the man crush, and we ran across b!g t!m3 br0kz0rz in the upcoming block.
Path of the Master.
I guess this was it when people said that all symbols are getting a killswitch, right?
Right now, I am currently highly, HIGHLY under the influence. I just returned from a typical party where we get smashed, play beer pong, and the police are called and we all split.
Yet, despite being so dangerously close to alcohol poisoning...
Shane, what in the F--K are you TALKING ABOUT?! O_O...
Shaneth - You've got me on this one. I've stared at all the various symbol specific abilities... and no one specific ability jumped out at me and said "ZOMG brokezors"
What did I miss?
Because there was one deck that I tried running PotM in... and it just didn't make the next revision of the build.
temungin is serious big news
The damage pump on POTM is stupidly good in mini-block, and in certain interactions, borders on being completely busted

Yep.
won't work in the Ragnar I'm playing because my attacks are all over the place, but still, stupidly good.
Rashotep >ALL in mini block,
Troof
Now rate my Rashotep mini block deck in deck discussion >:|
i rate it less than i do mine mines been around longer
LOL
Haha, Ivy and Zi Mei are the biggest PotM offenders.
Ivy plays 25 attacks in a turn. And 18 of them share 3 symbols with her.
Zi Mei plays Multiple:5~Multiple:7 FotAs with no momentum cost. And they share 3 symbols. And her 3-symbol-sharing Wheel Kick is a pretty good leadin.
And people were complaining that the card was underpowered. 8(
ivy does not play that many attacks against rashotep, he shuts her off on the first attack....which is why he wins, plus his support shuts of potm i have played him in mini block and he just has so much shutoff that other characters cant pull of their tricks

Rasho is fine and dandy, but more then a few chars in miniblock don't rely on their ability to win, rather they rely on their card support. Against those chars I would be hardpressed to bet on the man.
In the entire game of UFS, the whole reason you select a character is for their ability or name (with the ONLY exception being Gill). Furthermore, there's a LOT of aggro in miniblock that can't be fulfilled with a blank char.
Ka Technique covers any problematic foundations, and on Rashotep-player's turn, Double Crown, C®ock Grasp, and Rashotep himself gladly rid you of anything. Valued but Not Trusted is one use only, but that's all you'll need, truly.

How soon can you set this up?
I've seen aggro decks in tiny syphillis start attacking turn 1.
Turn 1?
If I'm Rashotep and going 2nd, I'll merely blank your character, severely limiting your attacking capabilities.
If I'm going 2nd, then I just build, and will outpace you (and UFS is all about establishing foundations, hence their name).
How soon? Eh, who knows, but I mean, if you're running 4 copies of Ka and Valued, shouldn't be hard to draw one of them turn 1, turn 2 at the latest. The whole point is that most of your valuable resources come from your staging area. Valued can erase attacks, making them vanilla as well. While one could argue, "Why not just use Rashotep's support?", and you CAN and have a good deck, Pharaoh Man has a LOT of unique abilities that make him stand out. Plus, as has been said, he's really the only "control" there is as of right now (until Kazuya comes and ruins all the fun).
Shinji... I have to disagree with you on this one.
I'm playing games of Mini-block where I'm tossing 2 and 3 attacks first turn, and I'm not even using a characters printed ability. I'm then still playing a couple of foundations, and moving on with life.
It's a much different environment where the game plays very fast, and very loose.
Well, you'd know better than me in this case. But mini block's gonna change by the end of the month

Pre-release is the Weekend of August 28th-30th.
Many folks will be rocking the Tekken at that point.
The best thing about PotM is that it makes any fanboy deck playable. Throw an entire character's support + PotM and it's not too shabby.
However, doesn't mean it's not silly. Almost want to keep some of Ragnar's anti-asset attacks in my mini-block deck...
Yeah, Ymirfang and Scroll almost look like staples to keep Path away.
Yet another reason I like Rashotep. Path of the Master is TOO good; be prepared to save a block when it's out.

Makes Scroll of the Celestial Dawn really good.
It is absolutly crazy what you can do with POTM! That one card definatly made all those games insane. Not to say mini block isn't crazy enough. It was rare that any game went past turn 2 for either player...but anyways it was funny as hell to see an Ivy attack go from a 4 low for 2 to a 4 low for 18 just like that! Or when I was playing the execution rites (which I like much much better then Fury btw) and have the first attack of the 3rd execution right be a 6 mid for 28 damage. CRAZY!!!
Scroll will definatly be worth its weight in gold!
And as far as Rashotep is concerned...yeah thats nice blank my char...doesnt really hurt me...sooo yeah. In mini block you really dont need your char's abilities. Shane used his foundations more than anything, and I just plain used attacks (yeah execution rites are that rediculous.) Rashotep will matter when the Tekken set does come out...Kaz is just too crazy with his abilities.
Honestly I think Ragnar is the sleeping giant in mini block. He just bleeds his own life like turn 2 turn 3 to throw 20 damage throws at you one right after another. That's hot!!! Zi mei is definatly house and Ivy...well Ivy just keeps playing attacks until your dead...Shane threw 10 attacks turn 2 against me...thats nuts!!!
Rashotep can blank PotM for the entire turn, too. You get to either give your first attack +3dmg (and have Rash blank something else) or say byebye

And Scroll of the Abyss.
And Ymirfang.
