Hey, just to be clear. Kumar is essentially a Sazanda clone. It's "Until end of battle", but it gains the red text multiple times as it restands like Malyaki, so it's essentially Sazanda :D The stand trigger as well: It says "Until End of Battle", but the target keeps gaining the red text when it restands so it ends up being just like Sazanda :D Anyway, like your Deck profile dood.
I like the triggers. Although, in my deck i run 4x Red Lightning (for unflip) 3x Break Pass 5x Draw Triggers 4x Heal this is the trigger lineup that i feel is the most consistent for me as it helps me get the cards i need faster.
People always complain about how bad stands are, but if you make easy 31+ columns, that will usually do the same amount of damage as crits. Some decks benefit (Beast Deity) a lot from using Stands to rush early and deal with opponent's Rear-Guards at the same time... the mentality of people though, is "Crits or its bad"... I feel that mindset makes deckbuilding so limited...
+DifferentFight The word "mindset" describes this way of thinking as just a bad behaviour. But it is actually the design of the game that forces players into concluding that. I myself feel the effects from the stand triggers in Nova Grappler are pretty good and can really help the deck shining with its restanding prfit skills. But at the same time they limit the deck. By now the Victor Deck has the ability to constantly restand all of your regards with one Vanguard Skill. DiFi mentioned it in this video: The victor deck most of the time has a field consisting of 3-4 rearguards which one of is Runbhol. As soon as you can go into the Victor Stride(GB3), you automatically stand 3 of your units if you have Runbhol on your field. Plus, because we play stands with restanding abilitys, if you actually use them, stands are even more unnecessary to drive check. Stands become good again if on the field there are 2 complete rear columns and Runbhol is gone (vs retire decks for example). Victor + Stride Skill will stand 2 units and THEN stands can be used to restand the boosters. Most of the time, I see stand triggers in this deck as an option to save counterblasts on the stride skill. Also, the Victoplasma option becomes a little bit weaker with less crits than stands. Do I miss something?
The thing is, the stands get recycled in your deck for higher triggers within the hand, the stands help restanding the rear-guard in the back, and Stands he uses are stands that have amazing stands that allowed you restand cards with certainty...
Like the deck profile . I would love to see this deck in action can we see a match please. Also I can't wait to play the deck my self I have all the cards coming in mail and can't wait to try making the deck my self.
it looks like a really fun deck. But about the new stride that will come in Fighterscollection, i think it could be vary strong tech stide, even when you need to pay 4 gzones for it
True it is hard cost to have a full field. But i do not think that nova normaly have long games, so you should not stride more then 2-3 times. So I could imagen pepole run 4 of it, for the tech
Liked the song used in the video, however DifferentFight screwed up badly. You're supposed to use Jojo songs for Ripple, not G-Nova! D: That aside it was another great video, keep up the effort!
+DifferentFight It's Ripple. I'll explain. In the first two seasons of Jojo, the main power is called "Hamon", In season three onwards, the main power is "Stand" Ripple's name in Japanese is "Hamon", and the main focus of Aqua Force like Novas is to restand units (Genovious himself re stands all rearguards) I even named my Ripple deck "Geno's Bizzarre Adventure"!
You don't need to explain this to me, I already know :D What I meant was that I just wanna associate Nova with JoJo, not that I didn't know the reason why it has a true association with Ripples.
Only difference is i run hedgehog in my deck for extra draw power along with unflip, and i play 5 crit/5 stand/2 draw. 3 red lightning, 2 break-pass/4 energy girl, 1 perfect ref/2 random draw. Crystaldevil is amazing tho, card works great. especially when opponent wants to stay at 2
On Twitter, but I'm not sure if it's a deck that topped or if it's a deck that a Japanese person just took to a tournament, so I'm taking it with a grain of salt for now ^^;
+GoldenGamerGuy 1 If it's not too much effort, could I ask you to comment this on the latest How to Beat? I tally up the votes while looking at the comments on those videos, makes life easier :P
Hmmm quite awesome but why dont you play Meteokaiser Bustered? its actually a cheap restand version of Vikto rather than paying 2 counterblast which is really an issue for this deck and yeah trigger lineup in Viktor deck is really frustrating to choose from but i found out running 8 crit the countercharge one and the draw one is quite solid for me and dem both of the stand trigger skill is really good i play 2 copies of energy girl and 2 of that fancy refree. Yeah the GBT06 support for Nova is quite good and not that bad.
+GameWarrior Bustered is still cb2 for the full restand skill. Cb1 for the persona to stand something and then gains skill to cb1 and restand if u have a full board.
oh thanks for amking this deck profile i wanted to know what do u think of Shout and Starlight Hedghog do u think it helps the deck be more consistent? and about the new stand trigger ill test it out.
+Austin David There's definitely no space for Starlight Hedgehog anymore I think, and Shout you could maybe fit in as a 2-of instead of Kumar, since I guess he can help you search for combo pieces. But it's kind of at the cost of a combo piece itself...
Awesome decklist. I'm very curious about the trigger list. How has it been doing for you? Also may i ask for the source of the mentioned decklist of the victor deck that topped with 6 stand 6 draws?
+naufal rahadyan prahastya I'm not too sure if it's a deck that topped or just a list that a Japanese person on Twitter is trying out, but the picture was put up for a few seconds on-screen when I talked about it so maybe you can make it out from that :D Otherwise I'd like to refrain from sharing it until I've confirmed what it is haha
I prefer 4 Energy Girl, 4 Extrem Crit, 4 draws, 4 Heals and I play 2 Screamin' and Dancin' Amnoucer,Shout because of the draw Engine and I play 2 Runbhol it's just a great card. That's how I play let me know how do you think!!!
+algone01 I think that's a viable tech too! Like I said, that 2-slot is very interchangeable, I just felt like Kumar was doing the most work the way it is now. I definitely wouldn't run Energy Charger anymore though, cause you need the soul for Arbarail.
+DifferentFight so I have been working on my deck and I am so torn on my grade 2 line up and starter. People are telling me to ditch coolant but I like that his skill is continuous. My g2 line up is 4 sasandza, 4 cool Hank and 3 baby face. As for the starter, idk if I want to run ranbol or the new one because the new one does set up combos well. Any advice?
What is your opinion on master kungfu in the deck? I use him in place of Arbaril, and I think he has great synergy with the deck as it is another Cool Hank, but his skill activities on Rush effect.
Hey DifferentFight! Between all the competitive decks, which one would you say is the cheapest? I don't really have any preference about clans, so I just want a solid/decent deck for a reasonable price! Thank in advance :D
Honestly I think Gurguit Gold Pals will be pretty affordable and very competitive with GBT07, the priciest card should be the Gurguit stride but you only really need a couple of 'em. Hope this helps!
DifferentFight Yeah, you were a big help, because I only wanted a direction to follow and not the entire list, since that's the best part, honestly, to make your own list! I subscribed to your channel not even a week ago and I'm finding all the contents really helpful and nicely done, thanks for your dedication to the Vanguard community :D
The new Exxtreme battlers deck already stands enough, I think running more stands seems wasteful. On a side note: Victoplasma is your only out against Link joker and heavy retire decks and I see too many people lowering the count to 2. :/
I recommend checking out my first Road to Worlds episode for common VG terminology :) An Amber clone is a card that has the same skill structure as Steam Fighter, Amber. This is: GB1, on rear-guard, attacking the vanguard, counterblasting one while being boosted on a grade 2 all at once.
Can i ask why you wouldnt go into victor stride first stride?? I uses this deck with similar cards just a few tweaks and i find tha going in to victor first is a better play than vic-ten. If you use victor first it unlocks GB2 stright away in case you dont get a stride off next turn. Also i have started to use as my back up grade 3 Galaxy Blaukluger and the 2 open slots are Limit Removers. Helps for early game rush and incase they are staying grade stuck at least u can put lots of pressure in the board. I notice a lot of nova grappler decks dont play Clay-doll Mechanic. Nova grappler espcially GB nova is a very heavy counter blast deck, so surely the more u have to unflip the better ?? Sorry to ramble on, just wanted to get my observation across :)
+Rookshark If you go Victor first stride, you don't have the GB3, which is very key for the combos imo. Going into Victor first does give you GB2 first, yes, but I'd rather go Victen first (which will do the same as Victor at that point - just stand something on-hit and buff it), and then stride Victor for mad combos.
+akojack92 Not sure how I feel about the Subliminal Grey, cause he doesn't actually do too much to help you win through combos, and the SB1 just takes away the soul you could be using for Arbarail. Other than that, it's pretty similar to mine I guess :o
+Deingel12 Thing is that there's a thin line between games turning CB heavy and not, which is if you decide to stride Victoplasma or not lol. If you don't, you gucci and won't run out most of the time unless the game drags on.
Your channel is amazing
+Ian Lim Thank you! :D
Awesome Victor deck!!! I almost blew my mind trying to build one yet you did it easily!!!
kamui's bizzare adventure
Hey, just to be clear. Kumar is essentially a Sazanda clone. It's "Until end of battle", but it gains the red text multiple times as it restands like Malyaki, so it's essentially Sazanda :D The stand trigger as well: It says "Until End of Battle", but the target keeps gaining the red text when it restands so it ends up being just like Sazanda :D Anyway, like your Deck profile dood.
+Diomenesx Yeah I made a hiccup with that, my bad :D
DifferentFight HOW TO DEFEAT nova grappler😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏with shadow paladin diablo deck
"isn't that a JoJo reference?!"!
This video must be the work of an enemy stand!
Get Stand Trigger! "ORA ORA ORA"!
I'd say Brawlers are more of a Star Platinum. And we do have 3 decks named after stands in the community (Crazy Diamond, King Crimson and ZA WARUDO.)
+Saransh Khanna Who were the pilots of King Crimson and Za Warudo? :o
King Crimson was the name for Dauntless DOTE and ZA WARUDO is a Blau Asura mix
Stand-o
*plays CBD* MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA!!!
you. my friend. are awesome!
Nova Grappler just made a great comeback on Aqua Force :)
as a aqua force main it really breaks my heart and i wish there were a lot of nova grap players in my area so i can practice against them
JOJOOOOOO
Great Sleeve choices!
I'm happy to see novas still doing so well. They were my first clan and will always have a place in my heart.
No need to explain Crystaldevil he is amaaaaazziiinngggg :3 can't wait to build with him!
I like the triggers. Although, in my deck i run
4x Red Lightning (for unflip)
3x Break Pass
5x Draw Triggers
4x Heal

This feels like Aqua Force
This was the original stand deck :)
Like the deck profile . I would love to see this deck in action can we see a match please. Also I can't wait to play the deck my self I have all the cards coming in mail and can't wait to try making the deck my self.
+ninjawarriorz17 I'll definitely be featuring this in a fight :D
it looks like a really fun deck. But about the new stride that will come in Fighterscollection, i think it could be vary strong tech stide, even when you need to pay 4 gzones for it
+melih delibal Like I said in the vid, I just don't like that it needs a completely full field :(
True it is hard cost to have a full field. But i do not think that nova normaly have long games, so you should not stride more then 2-3 times. So I could imagen pepole run 4 of it, for the tech
Liked the song used in the video, however DifferentFight screwed up badly. You're supposed to use Jojo songs for Ripple, not G-Nova! D:
That aside it was another great video, keep up the effort!

+Jazpar Negron Yesss! He really does haha
+DifferentFight Where did u see that nova deck list that u said topped somewhere?
On Twitter, but I'm not sure if it's a deck that topped or if it's a deck that a Japanese person just took to a tournament, so I'm taking it with a grain of salt for now ^^;
Could you do a "how to beat" for this deck?
+GoldenGamerGuy 1 If it's not too much effort, could I ask you to comment this on the latest How to Beat? I tally up the votes while looking at the comments on those videos, makes life easier :P
DifferentFight ok, my bad.
Hmmm quite awesome but why dont you play Meteokaiser Bustered? its actually a cheap restand version of Vikto rather than paying 2 counterblast which is really an issue for this deck and yeah trigger lineup in Viktor deck is really frustrating to choose from but i found out running 8 crit the countercharge one and the draw one is quite solid for me and dem both of the stand trigger skill is really good i play 2 copies of energy girl and 2 of that fancy refree. Yeah the GBT06 support for Nova is quite good and not that bad.
+GameWarrior FC2016 doesn't release until May 20th in English lol
+DifferentFight Ouh silly me strikes again
+GameWarrior Bustered is still cb2 for the full restand skill. Cb1 for the persona to stand something and then gains skill to cb1 and restand if u have a full board.
You didn't mention how Referee + Sazanda + Crystaldevil makes 91k Sazandas ToT
1. Ride Crystaldevil, give skill to Sazanda
2. Use Referee on Sazanda
3. Sazanda swing boosted by Rhumbol (9+5 = 14)
4. Sazanda restands (14+5+5+2 = 26)
5. Cool hank swing, restand sazanda
6. Sazanda swing (26+5+5+10 = 46)
7. Crystaldevil swing, stand Sazanda)
8. Sazanda swing (46+5+15 = 66)
9. Sazanda again (66+5+20 = 91)
crystal opieop
+Renko Usami Like I mentioned in the video, there's a BIG combo video coming with all this stuff included :D But thanks!
Yay! I discovered this combo waay back when Referee was first introduced, so it'd make happy if you would cover it ^^'
could we get a fight video any time soon?
+Amadou Andre I'll be recording some not next week but the week after, so stay tuned for that :)
can you do a mephisto deck profile if you have finished it
+Owen Unes Still fine-tuning it, but I'll try to have it up next week :D
+DifferentFight thank you love your vids btw
Thanks!
oh thanks for amking this deck profile i wanted to know what do u think of Shout and Starlight Hedghog do u think it helps the deck be more consistent? and about the new stand trigger ill test it out.
+Austin David There's definitely no space for Starlight Hedgehog anymore I think, and Shout you could maybe fit in as a 2-of instead of Kumar, since I guess he can help you search for combo pieces. But it's kind of at the cost of a combo piece itself...

By the way, is there any chance you can link the picture to the hilarious Victor Jojo pic? xD Too good
+Diomenesx I'll ask my thumbnail maker if she's okay with me uploading it on my FB page :P
nice
Kanzaki's World
what about royals brave deck could you do a video please?
+Mitchell Parker (gunguy-1) Sadly I don't have the deck, but I could go over it in a Meta Analysis ^^;
+DifferentFight if you could please :)
I love you nova groppla
especially raizers but they ded son
I prefer 4 Energy Girl, 4 Extrem Crit, 4 draws, 4 Heals and I play 2 Screamin' and Dancin' Amnoucer,Shout because of the draw Engine and I play 2 Runbhol it's just a great card. That's how I play let me know how do you think!!!
Gross, so much restanding! I'd hate playing against this XD
+Bewareofthephil It's delicious ;D
so would do a new beast deity with the new stuff
Could you put in 2 claydoll mechanic instead of the bear dude?
+algone01 I think that's a viable tech too! Like I said, that 2-slot is very interchangeable, I just felt like Kumar was doing the most work the way it is now.
I definitely wouldn't run Energy Charger anymore though, cause you need the soul for Arbarail.
+DifferentFight I'm going to try Kumar out because I like the pressure he can be capable of doing.
+DifferentFight so I have been working on my deck and I am so torn on my grade 2 line up and starter. People are telling me to ditch coolant but I like that his skill is continuous. My g2 line up is 4 sasandza, 4 cool Hank and 3 baby face. As for the starter, idk if I want to run ranbol or the new one because the new one does set up combos well. Any advice?
Or you know, you could just simplify it by saying he's a slower riot horn for the sub clan
i like this recipe but i agree more crit *1
yare yare daze....
What is your opinion on master kungfu in the deck? I use him in place of Arbaril, and I think he has great synergy with the deck as it is another Cool Hank, but his skill activities on Rush effect.
+Louey T I prefer Arbarail because it sets off a lot of combos on its own, I even use it more often than Cool Hank sometimes.
maybe i'll change my mind once I see that combo video you keep on saying your gonna show us ;)
I'm waiting for Bustered now, since it'll add a lot :D
Victor is waifu for laifu 👌🏻
for two slot I prefer clay doll

4 heal, 3 Victor critical, 2 subliminal grey stand, 2 energy girl stand, 3 of the new stand and 2 draws

what is the price of this deck?
> deck is counterblast heavy
> doesn't run Claydoll Mechanic
Dood, plz.
Although, Kuma is pretty okay too.
+Deingel12 Thing is that there's a thin line between games turning CB heavy and not, which is if you decide to stride Victoplasma or not lol. If you don't, you gucci and won't run out most of the time unless the game drags on.

fuck this deck! :(
You mad scrub?
+The Mighty Sun Fighter (Elijah Latham) lol yes xD
