Hey thread, I know I've been MIA for almost two months and it's mostly due to falling down a FF14-shaped hole; but I'm back in the saddle with new updates! (Yes, more than one! Finally a freaking backlog.) Expect a new update to drop when I get home in a few hours.

Update 5 - Who's cuter, Musashi or Jinrai? Welcome back to Sushi Strikers, last time we encountered our first squad of imperial soldiers and some new sushi sprites! We pick up where we left off with the last of the squad, Captain Starvey. Video: Battle - Captain Starvey ♪ BGM: Captain Scene ♫ Gee, I wonder what stopped you the other three t- Little does he know, the late game lanes move way faster so I'm used to it by this point. ♪ BGM: Preparing for a Battle ♫ Star Objectives - Win in 85 or fewer seconds. - Make 2 or more glowing plates and win. - Link 10 or more plates and win. Dragokan, the dragon sushi sprite, has the ability Runaway Lanes which triples the current speed of their opponent's lanes. That does take the speed boost from your lane gear into consideration which is why it becomes more effective as you obtain stronger lane gears. Just something to keep in mind down the road. ♪ BGM: Battle VS Soldier♫ So this fight starts out like most fights, I was having a little trouble getting decent stacks going but I managed to drop him to half health from unloading the six stacks I made. Just before dropping to 1702HP, Starvey pops Runaway Lanes, and that was the worst possible thing he could have done as I took advantage of the extra speed to link the highest stack in this playthrough so far. Get served, chump! ♪ BGM: Won a Match♫ ♪ BGM: Musashi's Theme ♫ Gurl, you've eaten sushi all day. How could you possibly have room for dinner!? Aw come on! We just ate!! The screen flashes white and then a loud shout rings out. ♪ BGM: Sushi Liberation Front ♫ Who the heck are these guys!? Whoever they are they don't seem to be against the Empire too. Hope they're friendly. Wow rude! Who could this mysterious rebel leader be, and what would they want with Jinrai? Find out... right now! Video: Battle - Masa ♪ BGM: Sushi For All♫ Uh... How bout no. So it's not because he's cuter than me? You better be glad I'm trying to keep this LP family-friendly, you cussing cuss. The heck kinda pose is that? What you need is a firm plate across your jaw! PREACH! ♪ BGM: Preparing for a Battle ♫ Star Objectives - Win in 100 or fewer seconds. - Eat 70 or more plates and win. - Make 2 or more glowing plates and win. Welcome to the first boss of the game. Masa is equipped with a full team of three and they're all sprites we've encountered individually. His team ability composition consist of an offensive type, a defensive type, and a utility type; and to make matters worst, he begins the fight with all three skills ready to use. Luckily, the game's AI is still in easy mode, so Masa isn't going to be doing heavy hitting combos. ♪ BGM: Battle Vs. Boss ♫ While Masa isn't pulling out all the stops to win, he is making good use of his skills. For example, he waits until he's in sushi jubilee to use Electrozap. That's a good chuck of health he took off with just two stacks. He then pops Runaway Lanes when I enter sushi jubilee which could really trip up a first timer. His small jabs at really eating away our health. Thank goodness for Sweets Paradise. Then Masa pulls out Sushi Shield just as I was ready to finish him off. Heck of a save there. Hanging on by a thread and Electrozap is ready to go too... It's do or die time! Yeah! Got em!! ♪ BGM: Won a Match♫ ♪ BGM: Sushi For All♫ Considering the hospitality you've shown me so far? It would be foolish to agree to joining you; but I do recognize that taking on the Empire alone would prove to be a difficult task, even with the help of Jinrai. Oh wait that's probably not something Musashi would say. Oh I see, trying to butter me up after I beat ya, eh? Oh how humble you become the second you realize how much of a skilled striker I am.  Sushi gates? Like the one Jinrai came out of? ♪ BGM: Sushi Liberation Front ♫ Good thinking Musashi! Not only do we get to keep searching for Franklin, but we'll also have help from the SLF! Might need to dial back the humble factor, but heck yeah, now you're talking my langauge! Okay, so originally this is where the update ends and I ask ya'll to vote which sprite we take, but considering the long absence I figured I wouldn't get much of a response. So I polled a couple of Discord servers I frequent as well as Twitter to help decide. The results are as such: Elekan, with 10 votes! Now don't worry if you think we're missing out on Tigazo action. We'll be getting one real soon. This is basically 'which one you do not want to work for?' No Musashi! You'll get a tummy ache if you do that! Meanwhile Masa is in the corner thinking to himself. ♪ BGM: Chapter End Jingle ♫ This title card marks the end of Chapter 1. Now that Musashi has joined the SLF what new challenges await her? And what exactly does Masa know about Musashi's jacket? Find out, in Chapter 2: The Shrine Grove! Combat Lobster fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Sep 27, 2019 |

Spicy! Or should I say sweet 'n' sour? I'm curious to where this game is going. (Also I almost forgot what Electrozap did, and for a moment I was like, "what if it electrifies random opponent plates, interrupting their chain if they touch them"? Then I realized that would be busted / unpleasant.)

Update 6 - Hunter x Hunter Division Welcome back to Sushi Strikers! Last time Musashi met with the Sushi Liberation Front's head honcho, Masa, and despite a really rocky first impression, Musashi decided to assist the SLF in their ongoing fight against the Empire. We now return with the really cool stuff, war room deliberation. Video: Chapter 2 Intro ♪ BGM: Sushi For All♫ Sushi monks? How does that work? The sushi monks opted to eat their sushi non-violently. Oh, get a room you two. [...] I'm not sure I like where this is going. Besides we're used to working alone, right Jinrai? Anyways, we now have our first mission with the SLF, being bait. And you bet we're gonna be the best bait the Empire ever did see! ♪ BGM: Republic ♫ Now before we continue, I wanna take a second and use some of these EXP tickets we've been getting, because the Elekan we just got starts out at level 1. I'm still hoarding the skill charms for the time being. I'll start using them after we get more sprites with cooler skills. Alright, now we have a balanced out team. Video: Battle - Striker Nife ♪ BGM: Soldier Scene ♫ Looks like Musashi is already making a name for herself. Who you calling a goofball, ya goofball. He's actually a 1st edition holographic soldier.  ♪ BGM: Preparing for a Battle ♫ Star Objectives - Make a 2-hit combo and win. - Earn a B grade or better and win. - Make 3 or more glowing plates and win. So Nife is sporting an Inazo, the fox sushi sprite, they come with the Hidden Plates ability which adds an additional three plates after linking plates. So Striker Nife is totally legit in his sushi striking in this case. ♪ BGM: Battle VS Soldier♫ And like everyone else who had a sushi sprite we've never seen before, Nife immediately activates hidden plates. Unfortunately with a really low skill level, hidden plates only last for like 5 seconds, so he was only able to take advantage of the skill for one stack. Other than that this fight is more or less the same as all the others. Though having a third sprite is kinda throwing off the colors a bit. (That and I'm not paying a lick of attention.) Anyways I popped Sushi Shield, and wow, I never noticed that the shield last for quite a long time, even at skill level 1. ♪ BGM: Won a Match♫ Ouch, all that brain-farting cost me dearly. Raw power? The heck is that? Also oh no, the power of taxes is coursing through my kid veins! ♪ BGM: Musashi's Theme ♫ What was that? It was like something awakened deep inside of Musashi. Jeez, I wonder what button I have to push in order to activate that? Thank goodness. Though most raw powers activate in different ways. For example, one might activate at the beginning of a match and another might activate after eating a certain number plates of sushi. Anyways the game takes control to demonstrate how to set your favorite sushi. ♪ BGM: Imperial Rim ♫ Hm, extra time to link plates while at low health isn't the worst ability, but probably not one I would use a lot. ♪ BGM: Musashi's Theme ♫ Video: Battle - Saboteur Spoone ♪ BGM: Soldier Scene ♫ Musashi, your face! Considering how I'm having a hard time coming up with commentary for the fights? Yeah, I do! Well duh, fruit also flows in the lanes too! ♪ BGM: Preparing for a Battle ♫ Star Objectives - Win in 100 or fewer seconds. - Win with 20% or more HP. - Link 10 or more plates and win. Nothing new here besides Saboteur Spoone's favorite sushi is Squid. Luckily I have a save with most of the raw powers unlocked, and here's what the squid raw power says: Raw Power: Ly-C Description: Restores your HP by 2% for every 40 plates you eat. Interesting, though 2% ain't gonna make or break a fight. ♪ BGM: Battle VS Soldier♫ Oh... I gacha. In this case, we need to have 5 or more plates in our current chain before we can pick it up. The Jubilee charger instantly entered us into sushi jubilee. The screen flashes and a sound plays. It's the sound of a capsule entering the lane. Capsule Sound Sample Now that that's over, let's get to the real battle. We want to grab capsules as often as we can. Instant jubilees are really nice and makes this fight go by really quick. Note that grabbing another capsule while in jubilee will not stack the effects, but it does deny your opponent from grabbing the capsule for themselves. Here I got greedy and instead of staying on top of denying Spoone any capsules I chose to continue linking this stack of green. Which means Spoone went for the capsule immediately. Which is fine. If Hidden Plate was ready that could have been a nasty combo move. I pretty much grab every capsule for the rest of the fight and bent Spoone into submission. ♪ BGM: Won a Match♫ Ooh, an S-rank. Not a rainbow S, but this'll do. (I've heard that normal S-ranks give more exp than rainbow S's, but I can't confirm or deny that.) And with that, I think we're due for a break, so tune in next time when we take on the rest of the Hunter Division! New Sushi Sprites #015: Inazo Secret: Excels at stealth ops like a ninja. Skill: Hidden Plates - Adds three plates to whatever number linked!

Looks like they're going with Darth Vader being Musashi's father. These Empire soldiers are goofy in a very "Pokemon evil team" way; they're quite happy to give away their hand to every child they come across.

Update 7 - Classified Specialist We continue our decoy mission for the SLF as we take on the last two members of the Hunter Division. Video: Battle - Specialist Forker ♪ BGM: Soldier Scene ♫ It's top secret that he can unhinge his jaw. Then what are you hinting at, you dork?! My feelings exactly. ♪ BGM: Preparing for a Battle ♫ Star Objectives - Recover 300 or more HP and win. - Eat 5 or more plates of your favorite sushi. - Start 2 or more sushi jubilees and win. Okay I don't get what makes him so special except that his favorite sushi is Horse Mackerel, and its raw power is Ino-Ace which increases your score by 8%. Which is useless to him, so I dunno, maybe he's all bark and no bite. ♪ BGM: Battle VS Soldier♫ Wait a minute. Something ain't right here. The lanes don't flow like that. I get the feeling that this is what makes Forker a specialist. So yeah, this is a gimmick fight where all the lanes, except the shared lane, flow in the same direction. That would sound like it ain't a big deal, but this was the first fight that really tripped me up during my first playthrough. You have to be really good at linking diagonals like this: Anyways once you get the hang of it, this plays out like a normal battle. So, let's go ahead and stick a fork in him, because he's done. ♪ BGM: Won a Match♫ Another raw power! And if you forgot what Ly-c does it restores your HP by 2% for every 40 plates you eat. ♪ BGM: Musashi's Theme ♫ This bean sensu so familiar to me. You got a Small Renewal Bean! Don't worry Musashi, it only recovers like 25% of your max HP. And once again, the game takes control to show me how to equip... the bean. ♪ BGM: Imperial Rim ♫ ♪ BGM: Musashi's Theme ♫ I feel so called out right now. Anyways, we now move to the squad captain. What wacky gimmick is he gonna spring on us? Video: Battle - Captain Chops ♪ BGM: Captain Scene ♫ So you're saying I might be able to recruit Inazo if I beat you? It's also his job. ♪ BGM: Preparing for a Battle ♫ Star Objectives - Link 12 or more plates and win. - Eat 190 or fewer plates and win. - Eat 10 or more types of sushi and win. Nothing of note of this screen aside from Cap's favorite sushi which is California Roll, and its raw power is Io-9: Increases your HP recovery from sweets and fruit by 35% while your HP is at 25% or less. ♪ BGM: Battle Vs. Boss ♫ So there isn't anything special about this fight. It's just a regular sushi battle. So, uh, let's break a dish? Oh! I just remember something I can talk about, breaking plates. So we already know that our stacks sit on the stack table waiting to be used, right? Well, let's say we have some stacks that we're holding onto for a big attack like this: Now watch the right most yellow stack when Captain Chops throws some plates at Musashi. I also slowed the gif down so it's easier to see: Chops didn't just did some damage to Musashi, he also broke some plates on the stack table. If that stack had a rainbow plate in it, it would be protected from plate breaking. I'm not sure how to trigger a plate break other than random chance. Point is, always grab the rainbow plate whenever possible. Anyways, let's beat this guy up. ♪ BGM: Won a Match♫ Very sloppy gameplay on this one, but I'll fix that a little later. Nobody leveled up but when I hit A to continue this happened: ♪ BGM: New Sushi Sprite! ♫ Of course we wanna say 'yes'. You've befriended the sushi sprite Inazo! Its skill is Hidden Plates! Inazo's pledge plate has been tucked into your jacket's training pouch! Guess we should report back to Masa and see how things are on their end. ♪ BGM: Mysterious Person Theme ♫ Oh, we've achieved 'The' status. Too close! TOO CLOSE!! Probably not a good idea, Archie. Plates are gonna be flying every which way. Besides, I have a feeling Masa's forces could use the support fire. And we don't need another kid bawling their eyes out. (Kojiro does enough of that as is.) My feelings exactly. Anyways I think it time for another break. Tune in next time when we make a move for the Shrine Grove! And I think we're overdue for a sushi update, so here we go! New Sushi #006: Horse Mackerel The only thing more beautiful than its lustrous skin is how it tastes. #010: Strawberries A clean, true sweetness evocative of summer romance and love everlasting. #012: Octopus A smooth, slightly chewy mouthfeel ringed with a flourish of crunch bits. #013: Minced Tuna Seaweed and spring onion exquisitely complement the delicately minced fish. #017: Yellowtail A deliciously fatty flesh renowned for its supremely smooth taste. #021: Melon Gentle texture... Blossoming sweetness... A taste like nothing short of paradise. #025: Tuna A classic, standard sushi beloved by just about everyone everywhere ever. #030: Surf Clam Charmingly toothsome with a tantalizing flavor that spreads with each chew. #035: Salmon Roe It's as if the very essence of umami were cast as edible jewels by a savory savior. #036: Red Sea Bream The grace of this sushi envelops any and all who savor its soft taste.

Update 8 - Sushi Dipped in WEAKSAUCE! Welcome back to Sushi Strikers, last time we were carrying out our decoy mission for the SLF and had just defeated a group of imperial soldiers known as the 'Hunter Division'. Afterwards we ran into Archie, a Shrine Grove local, who begged Musashi to come liberate his hometown. While this went against our orders to draw the imperial forces away from the grove, Musashi agreed to help Archie in his time of need. Today we go from being decoy to being on the frontlines! ♪ BGM: Republic ♫ Before we hop right in, let's check in on our newest sushi sprite, Inazo. Looks like the game automatically added our fox friend to the 'Reserve Sprites' section. I think the best way to describe these slots is to think of the item Exp Share from the Pokemon games where EXP can be given to an inactive sushi sprite. However said sprite can't be used on a team and be in the reserve slot at the same time, so it's really meant for sprites you want to level that you don't plan to use for a while. But we don't wanna keep Inazo on the side-lines. Let's take them out for a spin! Sorry Elekan, but you'll have to take a backseat for a few rounds. Anyways, onward to the Grove! Video: Battle - Kojiro 2: Kojiro's Revenge Ah great, I recognize that silhouette. Time to welcome back 'ya boy'. ♪ BGM: Kojiro's Theme ♫ You're officially twice the loser now. Welcome the whole wide world of www,gimmesushi,slf Kojiro, I don't think you realize that I've thrashed nearly a dozen soldiers who have years more experience at sushi striking than you do. Do you even know how to stack 8 plates consistently? ♪ BGM: Preparing for a Battle ♫ Star Objectives - Win with 35% or more HP. - Link 11 or more plates and win. - Eat 150 or fewer plates and win. Hakkan, the green turtle sushi sprite, is a very special sprite as it's the first sprite that has a constant special ability. As soon as the battle starts, the ability goes active and stay up throughout the fight. Hakkan is also the first in a small selection of sushi sprites that we cannot pledge to. (More than likely for mechanical reasons.) Also, looks like Kojiro got himself a lane gear, not that it'll help him be any better at sushi striking. ♪ BGM: Battle VS Kojiro ♫ So now we have to focus on making stacks of at least 8 plates if we want to penetrate that wall. Anything less will just ping against it like so: This is more than likely the reason why Kojiro only has 3600 HP, as I assume the developers wanted to ease players into this kinds of stages. It's a good thing I brought Inazo along. Now while the minimum to hit is 8 plates, you might wanna stack more than just 8 as plate breaking is thing Kojiro can do. Speaking of, just as I thought, Kojiro is barely able to land hits. He's got maybe a ~50% chance to actually get a stack of 8 going. How sad. I almost feel bad for beating up on the twerp. Then again he pretty much deserves it. ♪ BGM: Won a Match♫ Ah, the Ino-Ace raw power which increases your final score by 8%! I'm gonna make use of it mostly off-screen as it can help with getting Rainbow S Ranks. ♪ BGM: Kojiro's Theme ♫ Hopefully it won't be too soon before we have to deal him again. You got a Little Gear! And yet, Kojiro still couldn't stack 8 plates 50% of the time. ♪ BGM: Republic ♫ You know, I've never used the Little gear before, so let's give it a spin! While I'm at it, let's swap out our favorite sushi for horse mackerel. Video: Battle - Striker Grisli ♪ BGM: Kodiak ♫ Is it really kidnapping if you kidnap an adult? Ain't it more like abduct? Unlike the stretching I was already doing. Every time I see these dudes, they make me think of those gross internet ads with the guys that inject that corn syrup or whatever to make their muscles look huge. ♪ BGM: Preparing for a Battle ♫ Star Objectives - Win in 105 or fewer seconds. - Make 3 or more glowing plates and win. - Win with 20% or more HP. Ooh, Kodiak's men carry a Gnomzo, the...gnome sushi sprite, it has a nasty ability of Plate Downgrade which lowers all the colors of incoming plates by 1 color. (Basically Red -> Dark Blue -> Green -> etc.) ♪ BGM: Battle VS Kodiak Forces ♫ And the eager beaver uses Plate Downgrade right off the bat. The effects aren't that bad outside of sushi jubilee. The sushi on the plates doesn't change, just the color of the plates. The Little Gear actually feels pretty good to use surprisingly. It's a nice medium between having no lane gear and the default one. Prefect for strikers that are not yet used to maintaining a lane gear. ♪ BGM: Won a Match♫ ♪ BGM: Kodiak ♫ Whoa! That guy really was made out of corn syrup! A weak stunt dipped in weak sauce! Great, more meatheads. This is about the point in the game where stages no longer have both an opening and closing cutscene, so we can start plowing through the boring guys quicker. Seriously if you haven't been doing so, I strongly recommend you watch the videos to see the gameplay in action; cause I really don't see any benefit to both you reading and me writing out a play by play of every fight. Oh, also I swapped out Penzo with Elekan. Video: Battle - Saboteur Black Star Objectives - Start 2 or more sushi jubilees and win. - Make a 2-hit combo and win. - Eat 195 or fewer plates and win. Nothing of note on the prep screen so let's jump straight into the fight. ♪ BGM: Battle VS Kodiak Forces ♫ Capsules items make a return in this stage but this time we have a new item to grab. Skill charger works similarly to jubilee charger. It instantly fills one of your sprites skill bars; though which one it charges is random as far as I know. The great part is that you can keep grabbing these bad boys to keep an endless stream of skills going, which makes this fight go by quick. Like for real, this fight only last about a minute and a half. ♪ BGM: Won a Match♫ I dunno if any artists read this thread, but if I could get some fanart of swole Musashi; that'd be great. ♪ BGM: Musashi's Theme ♫ Dang imperial litter bugs! You got a Training Black Belt! Sounds like the perfect way to earn Rainbow S ranks! That's important. Remember this for later. We should probably wash it first. Just saying. Against my better judgment of putting on used clothing, we equip the belt. ♪ BGM: Republic ♫ Now we can go back to the previous stages and turn this: Into this: Which I'm probably gonna spend some off-screen time S-ranking and three starring old stages, so when we come back we'll tango with the rest of Kodiak's men. New Sushi Sprites #017: Gnomzo Secret: Its protective hat is ever vigilant. Skill: Plate Downgrade - Lowers the quality of sushi flowing out of opponent's shrine by one plate color!

I had some horse mackerel sushi for the first time this weekend. It was pretty good! If you like sardines, you'll probably like mackerel. The shiny skin was definitely appealing. It was very "fishy" and the texture was on the chewy side. Not quite something I can eat over and over again, but whenever its on the menu I think I'll order at least one piece. This thread is still dangerous, though. I just treated myself a few days ago and now I want more.

Update 9 - Sushi Shuffle So after the slight detour of S ranking all the old stages, we pick up where we left off with Kodiak's platoon. These next two stages don't have any cutscenes so let's take them on back to back and plow through them since they're nothing special. Video: Battle - Specialist Blue and Captain Braun Star Objectives - Win in 105 or fewer seconds. - Use skills 5 times or fewer and win. - Link 11 or more plates and win. ♪ BGM: Battle VS Kodiak Forces ♫ Star Objectives - Win in 105 or fewer seconds. - Use skills 5 times or fewer and win. - Link 11 or more plates and win. ♪ BGM: Won a Match♫ ♪ BGM: Sushi For All♫ SLF troops exit THIS ONE-GIRL ARMY IS COMING FOR THAT SHRINE! Video: Battle - Kojiro 3: Return of Kojiro Oh come on! He's back at it again already?! ♪ BGM: Soldier Scene ♫ Hold the phone. You're not Kojiro. Musashi might be getting little too cocky. Even if most of these imperial mooks aren't that strong at all. ♪ BGM: Kodiak ♫ Great, now HE'S here too! You better be ready to throw up! The screen goes white and the shout of a nasally twerp rings out. ♪ BGM: Kojiro's Theme ♫ Cheese-n-crackers! Kojiro, you've flatten a man! TWICE even! It really won't, and I'm not saying that just to skip another encounter with Kojiro. Ouch... It ain't my fault you're bad at this. ♪ BGM: Preparing for a Battle ♫ Star Objectives - Win with 35% or more HP. - Link 11 or more plates and win. - Eat 140 or fewer plates and win. Oh right, we forgot to give back Kojiro's Little Gear! Then again knowing Kojiro, he would say he's too good for a lane gear for 'babies'. Anyways it looks like he's doubling down on the plate wall gimmick, and I say 'doubling down' because he's sporting a Unikan, the unicorn sushi sprite. Unikan's special skill is Double-Edged Lanes which is basically Runaway Lanes (See Update 5), but now it effects both lanes. I'm honestly worried Kojiro might be biting off way more than he can chew here; and if Kojiro's out of the Imperial Army, who will be my riv-hehehe who are we kidding, we live to give him his just desserts. ♪ BGM: Battle VS Kojiro ♫ If you're wondering if Kojiro has improved since we last fought, well, the answer should be pretty obvious after watching the first few seconds of the fight. Now that I think about it, I guess he thought he could compromise his lack of lane gear with a sushi sprite that'll speed up both his and my lanes. He would have an easier time linking plates while I struggle keeping up with the shift in speed. But like all half-baked plans, he didn't anticipate my natural ability to go with the flow. Sorry Kojiro, you just can't trip me up with your speed tricks. Say goodbye to your "sushi for days"! ♪ BGM: Won a Match♫ ♪ BGM: Kojiro's Theme ♫ As long as you hold it as far away from me as possible, I'd be fine with that. Kojiro then runs off crying, again. Some say Kojiro's hatred for Musashi spans across many lifetimes and alternate universes. He's even a red head in one of them! Video: Battle - Commander Boyle Now that we're done with that distraction, let's get back to what we were doing, seizing this GROVE!! ♪ BGM: Kodiak ♫ Have you been like that this whole time? How are you not a puddle of flesh at this point? First he reassembles his body and now he wants to dance!? ♪ BGM: Preparing for a Battle ♫ Star Objectives - Make 3 or more glowing plates and win. - Eat 80 plates or more and win. - Make a 2-hit combo and win. We've reached the 2nd boss and this big cheese is using a Faeten, the fairy sushi sprite. Their Sushi Shuffle skill is what I call a 'mean' skill, in that you can use this skill to really mess with your opponent. You'll see what I mean in a second. ♪ BGM: Battle Vs. Boss ♫ Unlike every other time we've seen a new sushi sprite, this time Faeten's skill bar isn't full at the start; and it's pretty much gonna stay like that for the rest of the game. So here's how Sushi Shuffle can be used to be really mean to your opponent. Here, I'm building a stack of blues and then Boyle pops it. Then this happens: Not only did it rearranged all my sushi, it also broke my linking and cuts my blue stack short. And that's just mean~ ♪ BGM: Won a Match♫ ♪ BGM: Kodiak ♫ HEY I'M NOT DONE DOING MY WHOLE ONE-GIRL ARMY THING!! Not to mention Musashi, you've eaten A LOT of sushi. That can't be healthy. And with that, I think it's time we take a break, but we did it! Now with the Shrine Grove under SLF control, what could Kodiak and his men be planning to take out Musashi? Find out next time in Chapter 3! New Sushi Sprites #019: Faeten Secret: Its mischievous side is quite charming. Skill: Sushi Shuffle - Shuffles all plates in the opponent's lanes! #024: Unikan Secret: Emits floating sparkles when it runs. Skill: Double-Edged Lanes - Makes all lanes move twice as fast!

Thanks for the update. Was that the first rainbow S rank we earned there against Kojiro? That first video link goes to last update's Kojiro 2 battle, btw.

Why is this half gif, half static image?

Probably to save on filesize. The thing's already 1.5 MB, having the top half move too would almost certainly have pushed it above the 2MB LPix limit.

Yeah, I probably could have done a better job covering that up.

Don't worry, it's only proof Musashi is so fast, everyone else feels like they aren't moving at all in comparison.
