SUArena Thread: Nerf Aquamarine Edition

Discussion thread for Steven Universe Arena.
Discuss balancing, experiences and other topics.
Seriously, when will they nerf Aquamarine? The freeze is too powerful and it essentially forces another Aqua onto the other 's team.

Okay, you got my interest, I'm usually the guy who posts links to but I'll bite.
Also yes they should nerf Aquamarine, no one likes stun lock.

What they SHOULD nerf is Rose Quartz.

>stunlock
>unstoppable sword and shield combo
>can make an entire army of mooks with enough time

If the wand thing is made of metal than Peridot is a hard counter to her

If Lapis Lazuli could still control water while frozen she could probably kill Aquamarine with her own waterwings

So I found the vodka item, equipped it on my glass cannon Pearl build, and now I'm one shotting everything with the edgy Pearl form

Do the Devs even realize how broken this is?

>What is Jasper
Do you know how durable Jasper is? That combined with innate melee resist makes edgepearl mains cry their salty, salty tears.

Bring back Uncle Grandpa!
UG was unbelievably fun to play and had top level gimmick moves. It's not like he was broken since he would rarely win a game because of all the gimmicks.

Jaspers are slow as hell though, all you need to do is not get hit

dude just 1v1 me some time my account is Isai, add me and bring your Jasper

The only thing that's gonna be broken is Pearl.

Yeah, if you have some garbage Pearl build that doesn't have maxed out speed

All her DPS comes from the edgy form, and that's more than enough to shatter any gem

>not using zirc for long range support to buff speed by 50% and resist by 25%
It's like you don't care about strategy.

>Not minmaxing your stats
>Wasting skill points on dumb gimmick gems that require you to rely on your teammates
lmao what is your winrate, like 30%?

Well I just got the game, and I'm looking for a good Topaz strat. got any good offensive playstyles?

Wasn't pearl originally just chip damage in the beta? Breaking down tanks? This vodka, it gives her 1500 dps and 240% move speed (using Peridot as base) it's too much.
It's very easy to run a split set. Topaz is still very bulky unfused, and gets good damage if timed properly.

>dumb gimmick gems that require you to rely on your teammates
Lmaoing at you Pearlscrub. Unless she has the Inspire buff from Steven, she is lower-mid tier at best.

Fluorite is even slower but tanks everything

>Destabilize- an attack which splits apart fusions. Instantly kills Fluorite and deals 75% damage to Garnet, Topaz and Rhodonite.

Recently started watching and finished watching all available SU episodes but I wonder...Why do so many people hate this show besides the whole "sjw fandom blablabla".

I heard people saying it's because it's "libtard brainwashing" and "made by sjw for sjw" because there are lesbians,a fat main character,the gems technically have no gender,... and "oh my god think of the kids!!1!".

>vodka is OP waa

Forgetting the Mystery Girl support. Buffs Stevens, speed build Pearl mirror matches, and can stop edgePearl builds in their tracks.

Sure Mystery Girl bonuses are kinda shit, but you can sub her in whenever you know you're facing a edgePearl.

You meta following faggots.

What does it do to Rutile?

Gem Destabilizers kill everyone in one shot. Not just fusions. Bretty strong, Steven is a hard counter.

This is why items are banned.

Steven is just nerfed Rose, maybe ban her and use Steven?

>this thread
>my absolute sides


Quality.

That's 1.0. In 1.1, items were balanced. Destabilizers now only work on fusions, while dealing minimal damage to other gems.

ho boy, there they go again

Heres the guy! The guy we've all been waiting for!

This game is such a money grab

It's impossible to unlock Blue or Yellow Diamond without being a pocketwarrior

When are they going to bring the Metal DLC they promised? Iron looked like he would be fun to play as.

user that was announced on April the 1st...

They did release Bismuth DLC but it wasn't what everyone was expecting and it got mixed reactions.

>unlocking diamonds is so hard!
>not money grinding in Beta

>when the fucking pricks nerf your main fusion combo
since when was peri fuckin trash? after the item nerf or after jasper got that rework?

...

Peridot was top tier back when limb enhancer armor set was around. Then for "lore" they took the armor set out. LITERALLY shit tier through and through. (Although she made good support with lapis, was never run as a main though).

>Metalmancy buff
Still fucking shit, but better support for lapis, steven, and amethyst. Doomed to be a support character forever.

When are they adding Evil Steven?

Is lapis still god tier or did she get nerfed the fuck out of as well?
i swear to god one more complete rework and im shooting up beach city

since 1.4 she steamrolls when at beach city. There's been a meta for fighting in "Gem Ship" though, because it's the most neutral.

AKA good character, bad meta. If you want to play a good defensive main just go for Steven.

Still slams on every map except Desert Glass Castle, Beta, and as mentioned, Gem Ship
DGC sucks ass anyways, it becomes physically impossible to win objective if you aren't fast enough

nobody plays on Beta anymore, penalties for all but those who have Gem Mutant Supports is pretty niche as fuck.

just keep grinding Stevens on Gem Ship.

ok, im gonna fall, anyone has a link or something to this?

...

is a steven malachite combo decent?
or does the speed buff only work on characters with feet?

You mean Steven as main with Malachite support character? You can chain the bread and butter combo with Malachite but there are better characters that also give Steven stat ups.

>Steven + Amethyst is a strong meta pick right now.
>People are experimenting with Sapphire + Fluorite dodge + defense builds
>Rushdown Garnet + Pearl.

POST THEORY CRAFTING HERE

Actually Malachite has a doubled speed boost because four limbs on ground. Already OP but still.

Who Jamie main here?

>tfw pull a surprise fusion using mystery fusion
>tfw making edgy pearl blink using Rose mock

Jamie is all chance. Main something better.

>Jamie Main

You don't play this game my guy, go back to flipping coins.

>lars main
>getting pummeled by a grappler amethyst
>die
>running revival build
>second chance into pink Lars
>proceed to teleport around arena and avoid the nub charges
>win
>Amythest player messages me ''learn a good character you scrub''
>mfw

And nobody learned anything because everyone knows- grapplethyst is cancer, maybe worse than stun set aqua

Can't handle the fun?

>Play Jamie against a Garnet
>O shit love debuff gg
>Spot Act
>Suddenly slowfire
>Garnet receives big int drop and just stands there
>proceed to use gem destabilizer as slowfire narrates

Most fun I ever had flipping coins.

I can't handle the fun because half the time I'm steamrolling Jamies and then the other half they end up being unwarranted in their power. There are no real counters to the luck.

Stick to AI mode you scumbag. 0 skill.

I've been experimenting with Paddy for hours and I can't figure out her play-style, any help?

Also is it just me, or is anyone else getting input lag when playing as her?

>On verge of losing
>It's just me as Steven and an Amethyst player, they have 5 up
>Her fusion bar is full
>Mine at 90%
>Land a massive spiked bubble/multi-whip combo, bringing them down to low health except the Bismuth
>Fusion meters 100%
>Start the fusion dance while they're down
>Ready to fucking clean house as Smoky using yoyo windmill
>Tripping RNG fucks my Steven and it fails
>Bismuth sneaks up and hits a point blank Breaking Point hitting both of us
>Lose

FUCK

There isn't even that much extended fighting in this show,
why does it lend itself so well to a battle arena game? Is it because of all the special powers?

Just wait for the huge fusion patch with Lars maybe. Right now she's unplayable, playing her makes me feel like I'm Brazilian.

Paddy has input lag as 'canon' but makes up for it with insane and debuff immunity. Also has good area denial potential.

>Breaking Point got taken out

Literally what the fuck? I know it was kind of broken but they couldnt just nerf it?

Fuck SUArena and fuck fangames in general

WHY WOULD YOU GROUP UP WHEN FIGHTING A BISMUTH

>Breaking Point

WITH A BREAKING POINT?

> Steven bubbles and stays far the fuck away
> Amethyst gets buff from Steven, especially if it's Millionaire Tiger Steven (if not, you still get a nice defense bonus)
> Amethyst spams her rolling attack.

Fusion is cool, but almost never worth it in battle.

Her moves are delayed unless you hit the combo right, once you get good enough to consistently hit the ASDSDAD progression you can get her float kick to come out at a pretty rapid pace

>Breaking Point memers
Destabilizer is just as effective and does not have a cooldown on attack. Do not fall for the insta-kill meme.

How good do you guys think a Paddy + Sapphire team would work?

> fixed future vision
> gets bonuses from both beach city fights and space fights (does Paddy do that as a support character?)
> Sapphire HARD COUNTERS rushdown.

Well, at least I'm not a Jamie main

Destabilizers had the effects of Breaking Point in the past. Then they nerfed Destabilizers because "muh instakill".

Speed Pearl build with Gem Destabilizer was my shit

POST BEST STAGE THEMES

soundcloud.com/k-dex-2/palanquin

Jamie mains fucking ruined this game

Any Lion main here that can help me out? I've heard you can wreck shit with a lion lickers set but so far I get insta-countered by any Steven team.

Post meme strats
>6 topaz full split
Area denial in its purest form.

Pfft whatever. You'll never know the joy of taking out a B. Diamond with a suprise murdercock using imprave + special delivery.

Shit sucked though when the B. Pearl's stats suddenly spiked the fuck out and beat my Jamie acting rape pearl + Moody Lapis. Never again will I let them linger.

I know it's neet as fuck to spend money on these games, but there's a certain satisfaction in using Steven's healing spit/tears with the alpha Steven aka Josuke skin

Literally any Steven+Lars core with feeling-share in either of them wrecks that shit.

If you want a real meme strat, try recorder Peridot (in farm form) with a Lapis+Steven support.

Wait wait wait wait

wait

You mean to tell me this game has Multiplayer? I've just been dicking around with porn mods in Free Roam all this time.

if you play multiplayer, there's still a lot of anal rape involved.

I hope you like diamondick.

i didnt even fucking new thia game existed yo

Funniest thread ever.

So there I am, Lapis with the Mirror build, using Water Clones to lock down the area, when a fucking Jasper blitz rolls past my defenses and force fuses with me, disabling my support for the team.

Is there any way they can fix this? I know there's 'lore' and 'story' reasons, but being so hard countered for no reason is bullshit. I'd understand if it was a Recorder Peridot or a Shield Steven, but Jaspers just ignore my Water Clones without dealing with them.

Hang on
They removed cross team fusion in the last big update
That was months ago

No, cross-team fusion is still a part of the Rebellion game mode.

this feels like an attempt to cash-in on the EEnEO thread.
i mean, I was at least waiting for that thread to be archived before I made my own.

It's different blood cells in the same vein.

>Cross team fusion
Nobody, I repeat, NOBODY plays Rebellion. It's a shit tier mode for 10 year olds to dick around.

>Pre-Nerf Garnet with Peridot (fake enhancers) support and Spiked Gauntlet armor set opponent
>Fucking around with unfused Opal setup running volleyball Pearl with P.P. Amethyst (for the hot speed boost).
>Shit is pounded in for the first half of the match, Garnet Rushdown too stronk.
>Nigga nobody sees the motherfucking SUPPORT GRAB
>Purple Puma Grab because he didn't zone me the fuck out
>Volleyball knockback hits the opponent Garnet, no gapcloser support
>ITS TIME FUSIONHA
>Opal opens with Spiral Shot, finish with some regular Mystic Volley's.

Does anybody else feel this game is literally incomplete?

I've beaten the story mode on the Steven Must Cry difficulty with each single character, and yet I can't still unlock this shady ass character.

it just takes one spot of the roster, what the fuck becky

On-disc DLC probably, fuck these Jew developers.

So there I am, a PP Amethyst with the Backup Bat and 'Aged' Burrito in item slot to get out of destabilizer stuns, trying to collect resources, when all of a sudden this fucking Grrrreat Jasper gattlling punches me off the map, proofing me.

Any ideas to counteract that build? I'd prefer to play Amethyst or Onion but at this point I'll take any character that can take her punches.

>using Overcooked against Perfect tier gems

lo a faggot

Hey Sup Forums, I need your help. Ever since Garnet got nerfed into the ground, I've been looking for a new rushdown tank to main. Which would be better, Bismuth or Jasper? I usually play with a Lapis main and an Amethyst main.

Even though Bismuth has more defensive options and she has a OHKO with Breaking Point, Jasper's increased mobility and more reliable damage output makes her an all around stronger pick. However, Jasper doesn't have very good synergy with Lapis or Amethyst and lacks the team-play aspect that I liked with Garnet.

Call me a cuck fucking faggot, but I have no idea what this thread is referring to. But I am EXTREMELY interested in finding out.

read the sticky, faggot

That was a satisfying event. Best April Fools ever.

Which uni should I get, Pilot Pearl or Tiger Millionaire Steven?

I looked up everything I could about Steven Universe Arena and got nothing. So I ask again. Is this a fan game on steam? Where can I download and play this game?

Do we have any vague idea when hiatus will end?

Pilot pearl for speed buff as a support. Do not main pilot pearl, her specials are very weak.

Even as a support she's hard to use. No boost bonus with Steven (Connie can boost bonus with an extra attack buff).

Millionaire Steven is also another support character and decent (but Steven as a main is too strong nowadays. Run Spike Bubble Steven with Sword Connie support or some shit. Never fuse fusion is just a cheap trick used by new players). Millionaire Steven gives a shit attack buff but has the grapple active assist, which can't help you chain but zones decently well. (P.P. Amethyst has a great boost bonus with him but two grapplers is retarded.)

I heard a rumour she's 'dev mode' sorta thing, like she has all the stuff in the game and the devs used her for balancing and bug testing and such.
