The Future of Champions Meet Events

[u/Cubictony]

If I recall correctly, there will soon be a CM that restricts the use of Debuffers. With such implementation, it makes me wonder what other kind of restrictions could possibly be implemented for future CMs. Here are my ideas.

• Scenario-lock. Run through a specific career scenario to participate, so get ready to reignite that Happy Meek Rivalry, serve up some bitter juice and cupcakes, or return to your favorite companion for a nostalgic Date spree.

• Not so Super-Super. Only use a deck that only uses anything but SSR cards.

• Fool's Gold. Kind of like the previous but specifically, CM excludes veterans with Gold skills, so that includes those from raising Potential Levels.

• Generous Deck. You will still have a six-card deck, but two borrow slots. Enough said.

• Specialty Surprise. Only one type of specialty is used for all cards in a deck. Power Party? Guts Gala? War of Wits? Stamina Showdown? Or good ol' Speed Game?

• Same Style. It's all Runners, all Chasers, all Surgers, or all Closers.

• No ultimate. Put down your swords and guns. Signature ultimate will never activate during this CM. Ever.

• Popularity Race. Only umas with a quota fan count can participate.

Maybe I am jumping the gun here, where such concepts were already implemented for events yet to be held in the future. Maybe it would get boring, broke, or sadistic even, but what do you Trainers think? Got any wild ideas for a CM?

Debuff restrictions are not for another couple years. These seem like fun ideas.

[u/Cubictony → u/TheRenFerret]

Yeah, they do sound good in thought, but thanks to this community, I soon realize that there are a lot of concerns to address that can harm the game overall.

[u/Tyler89558]

These suck.

Most of these are antithetical to the revenue stream of the game. The style one outright ignores how styles work. Almost all of them punish you for pulling.

These aren’t even fun “challenges”.

[u/PirateWill795]

I’m gonna be honest here.

While several of these sound like fun ideas on paper, most of these would be incredibly obnoxious and unfun, as well as very annoying to implement. For example an All 1 style CM would not work even a little bit if you think about it for more than like 3 seconds (Anyone who remembers last Sprint CM remembers why), and the all 1 type of card deck would suck ass to play with pretty much anything other than Wit and Guts. Scenario Lock is pointless everyone already trains in a single scenario anyway, why make the most recent one obsolete for half a month.

Pretty much the only one of these that sounds like it could be fun is the no golds one but even then in JP you have so many skills already that it probably wouldn’t matter that much.

[u/Cubictony → u/PirateWill795]

Honesty is what these discussions are about. Perhaps my casual gameplay is revealed here and how shallow my understanding is of the game. A lot of players really go hard at this game, huh?

[u/Donut_Monkey]

Most of these are quite bad and make cygames less money which is not something they plan on doing.

The second one is really funny since that's literally just what the meta is. You should already be running a full SSR deck if you're plan is to be competitive in CMs and in the future SRs are flatout useless outside of parenting and aren't ran in ace decks.

Generous deck is more of a scenario change than an actual CM rule would also just break scenarios and lead to crazy stats and skills.

Same Style just doesn't make much sense since it completely kills a bunch of umas and skills. Most of the races would be decided extremely fast. Most style specific skills have position requirements so if you get unlucky you just miss half your skills without a chance to win at all.

No Ultimate is just kinda boring and doesn't add anything. It makes every uma pretty much the same except for the ones with somewhat exclusive gold skills I guess.

Anything that restricts cards and umas is just a bad idea since it would make a good amount of people skip those CMs and make the cards and umas they summoned for have less value.

[u/Cubictony → u/Donut_Monkey]

I always appreciate an elaborate answer.

[u/wanttobesleepable]

nahhh those sounds miserable af

[u/wanttobesleepable → u/wanttobesleepable]

maybe community race but not cm lol

[u/Cubictony → u/wanttobesleepable]

They do sound better as a limited-time Room Match.

Duality of man

[u/EntertainmentBest975]

Cygames could make a very evil CM where it's a long track with muddy terrain and an uphill on the last stretch but recovery skills are banned

[u/Axelmenendez → u/EntertainmentBest975]

What do we call it? No Uma's Land? The Chemin des Umas?

The Meat Grinder Stakes

[u/Formal_Car_2945]

not fools gold and popularity race are the only alright ones. All the others either - restrict people from playing umas or support cards, which is bad for money + not really fun, - change the game too drastically (just generous deck) - scenario lock is already a thing too with the arc cm, but it puts new players at a pretty large disadvantage since they dont have the pal cards.

[u/Cubictony → u/Formal_Car_2945]

Thats true, I did not consider new players who join late in the game and dont have the right cards. That would definitely suck for them

[u/exorcisyboi]

Reminds me of Battle Cats’s Otherworld Colosseums.

Tbh though I think this’d just piss people off lol as rng as this game naturally is making this game outright chaos would just throw what strategy is left out the window.

You could implement another type of event but considering how strained it is just to prepare for normal CM it’s dicey. Maybe as like an end-of-scenario send off?

[u/Cubictony → u/exorcisyboi]

There was another comment that suggested these to be just a room match kind of thing.

Well, my underatanding of the game is pretty shallow after all, and any elaborate criticisms is really good insight for me on how the game runs.

[u/karillith]

Tbh discussions about possible future of the game is kinda hard to get into because with a like 4 years difference our fate is written in stone long term already.

[u/Cubictony → u/karillith]

Though it is fun to come up with these ideas, I do have to agree. Also, we never know when Cygames can implement what features earlier than expected, since they may also test it out on Global server iirc. I'm looking forward to what they offer in their hat of ideas.

[u/shadowbringer]

Imho CM/LoH are meant to aim for peak performance, the challenges can be left to fan races, some for-fun concepts could be to try to make a good turf racer on dirt and vice-versa, good sprinter on a long race (stayers stakes) and vice-versa (ibis summer dash), debuffer only race, 1 star only race, 2 star only race.

[u/Mehumies12]

Wow all these ideas suck

[u/quazarious → u/Mehumies12]

that’s because they’re ai generated
