@krij777 It can, say if someone beat you up, took a picture of you on the floor, and then used it as a thumbnail which says: "this guy is a loser", how would you feel? It can make people upset.
OMG not the Falinks in thumbnail 😭 I don't think popularity has anything to do with their pickrate, I mean take Dodrio for example, before she was released in Unite, I'm sure there were less Dodrio fans than Falinks fans. But Dodrio doesn't have so many counters and has been good ever since she released. I think having too many counters is the only reason Falinks gets no play. I just realized I have never seen even a green badge Falinks.
You can ONLY last pick it in draft basically. That’s logically the only option. I picked it blind yesterday and was against a venusaur. Not making that mistake again
@ReD-HaWk068c Yea they gutted the hell outta No retreat like when it first dropped it was INSANE but then they just gutted it n now nobody plays it. If they didn't over nerf it then I'd play falinks more but now it's just not fun cuz you die in 0.2 seconds w no retreat
In the mainline games, ppl love falinks. Even i do, especially its shiny form. The no retreat animation is fire as well🔥 idk why cant they do the same for unite.
I've actually been having a blast with no retreat and Megahorn and I feel like people forgot it can still one shot squishy pokemon and the hindrance resistant allows it to fight Darkrai! I've actually Koed so many darkrais in their ult with Falinks
@@Koperlich. Darkrai comes to you really. Sure using XSpeed or Eject helps but as more players are going the Nasty Plot route, I have had many just dash to me. That being said, while I love Falinks and I still play it even tho the counter mons keep getting buffs, it is not fun to just be a free kill so I only play it with friends that can cover my back or when by luck the enemy team doesn't have a hard counter
I love Duraludon is One of my favorite Pokemon, but in Unite is One of the most Boring Pokemon to play, I Hate it so much, I Hope in the future they bring another Duraludon who can evolve into Archaludon and can be play it like a mage or "All rounder" mage
As a guy who plays All-Arounder alot, Falinks really does have a pretty high skill-ceiling in order for it to be a successful pick. Regardless, it didn't stop me from buying Falinks day 1 and one-tricking them all the way to Ultra Rank the same season, even if I was purely using No Retreat all the way. I implore people to at least try out Falinks and try out each of their playstyles, because they are surprisingly good when you know what you are doing. I would recommend starting with Megahorn + No Retreat. It is easy to use, and offers the biggest damage potential out of each playstyle.
@@Agilepickleunite I mean I've taken mine to Masters in solo queue so that's still possible lol. I do vary in what Pokemon I use, but Falinks I think has my most playtime
As a Falinks main, it is a very high maintenance Pokémon that can absolutely work against other Pokémon in unite when playing right. I always find it funny that people would try and underestimate Falinks players who actually know what they’re doing, when they just get absolutely destroyed lol. I just wish that they buff him, but that it’s still obviously expert level to play him as. And ngl, it pains me how Cris plays Falinks here lmao 😭
they just need to rework the passive, the troopers having a separate hit box is what makes Falinks so impossible to play even now it just feeds Tinkaton's passive, one hit and she gets 6 hammer stacks
I love playing falinks but everytime i pick it's just a gamble whether i will actually be able to do anything or get destroyed by someone on the enemy team just because i have 6 things they can hit.
It's actually just like you said, Falinks is one of the few if not the only one Pokémon that instantly loses against hard counters. I try to play almost all Pokémon because it gets boring to win with the same Pokémon many times in a row, and the games I have played Falinks are the most frustrating in Draft mode.
I once had to go against a ESpeed Lucario in a blind pick game and they were literally hunting me the whole game, the game was basically a 4v6 for the opposing team seeing how much of a detriment I was to my team. Falinks is the only mon that has specific counters like that. Even if they were to buff it like crazy, it has so many counters that it probably wouldn't matter. As long as they don't do something for the troopers, it'll stay at a low pick rate.
I think you summarized my own qualms with Falinks in your opening dialogue Cris. After maiming Falinks the months following its release it just became frustrating in my match ups, then the constant bugs/fake out bug fixes that didnt really resolve the problems and then getting nerfed into oblivion I had to just hang up my pokeball. Azu & Tsar are much more satisfying and technically intensive so I've never looked back.
Im a blue badge falinks and man grinding gold badge by normal ranked means is borderline impossible with the amount of counters it has but its a very fun and rewarding character
i tried playing it, its hard to use in ranked its so absurd on how i keep losing in 1v1 but he's good in the 4v4 arenas (in the christmas one i am just wrecking everything)
It's very strong, actually. I've had the biggest success this season with exactly this Falinks build. They can't hit you with Beat Up and it gives so much unexpected CC
I just loved falinks in the beginning,tried to play it pretty recently also but it collapses always. Like in the megahorn no retreat build . It gets too slow and people just dodge it easily. Its weakness is the mechanic of each trooper being counted as an individual,but if u remove it falinks literally has no weakness and it is turbo broken . I was recently playing metagross and was fighting a level 10 falinks with level 8 metang when i was struggling and suddenly 1 gyro ball healed me from 20% health to full health even i was shocked then i saw that i took all the troppers perfectly in the gyro ball and i absolutely destroyed that falinks . I was sad to see that such a pokemon that i loved is now so miserable 😢
That probably was because their wasnt any major counter moveset such as venasaur, tsareena, lucario blaziken, talon etc which was his point of the pokemon being good but also bad
I'm a huge Falinks main still lol I'm probably that entire 1.5% pick rate for it 😂 I usually run Megahorn + No Retreat combo. It can get really tanky actually especially with full stack Aeos Cookie. But yeah I'd love for them to buff/rework it a tad bit
The most annoying part are not the counter-interactions, but when these are inconsistent. For example, normally troupers cannot be hindranced, UNLESS is the Ninetales passive, which perma-freezes the whole Falinks. Any other interaction can be navigated, not this one. They should remove the inconsistent interactions while keeping those making sense (Talonflame, Lucario)
I was so excited for falinks when it came out. Its adorable. But like you said it sadly is countered quite hard. If they reworked it i would definitely pick it up again.
I honestly love Falinks in general, I also like how it works in Unite too I do think the troops shouldn't hinder you as much, like with damage overall and with how stuff like some status work on it I think the troops being hinderance resistant could be be nice, unless they are away with Beat Up
the problem is with the playerbase too...they only play a specific set of pokemons that are really common in the game like pika, og trio, sableye, elde, zera....they don't really care about new mons unless they are broken
I think the main reason ppl dont play Falinks is b/c he's unpopular, not that he is countered hard (which doesn't help). But the devs did nerf Falinks pretty hard and he is at the bottom of every tier list now so ppl like him even less. Its unfortunate b/c design wise, he's one of the most creative Timi has made.
Dev should limit the main body that can be hit to just the main head. Tsareena, Venusaur, and Lucario's Extreme Speed are given an advantage due to the total head count acting as the number of opponents. This creates a huge disadvantage for Falinks.
People are crazy sometimes. Falinks, Dodrio are one of the best adds, they are so unpredictable, no one ever thought they would be added, but it fits the game so well, better than a lot of the popular ones tbh
Literally the only thing that needs to be changed is that the trooper should not be affected as a Player. It should be counted as a Wild Pokemon to all attacks. Or just do the "As One" thing like Zard's BA now. Or just make the troopers have higher damage resistance and more resistant to health drain. It is literally the most unique character archetype in almost all MOBA Games.
i feel like the only head that should take damage is the main head but if the other ones taking a certain of damage they become stun and yo attacks do less damage
Honestly, if the extra hitboxes were only formed when you used Beat Up, that would be fine. The fact the enemy can hard counter you and bully you that hard regardless of your move choices by selecting one draft pokemon, or even randomly pre-draft SUCKS. Oops, enemy team team picked Venu, I’m now dead weight.
I think they could keep the essence of Falinks by tweaking its troopers to proc moves like ESpeed and Giga Drain one extra time only, one for every trooper is insanity and ruins an actually fun Pokemon
I really like Falinks and think it's fun to play.. IF you don't end up against one of those counters. The counters to it are just way too extreme they really need to change how that passive interacts with other pokemon kits because as is it's either really fun to play or you just want to die inside when one of those pokemon is on the enemy team.
I love Falinks and have always only played Beat Up Iron Head, but I stopped playing it because my understanding is it was bugged, and it gets shut down way too hard with AOE. If they could fix that the hit boxes it would be useable
maybe they just need to rework the mechanics of him and pokemons that play against him. Like lowering the heal amounts on a character that heals based on the enemy hit like giga drain or bitter blade. Receiving less damage on espeed or makes him counted less than 6 troops and rework how he received cc of a9 blizzard build
It's definitely most slept on pokemon If opponent doesn't have pokemon like lucario Or venusaur, it can cook hard I myself play with it since after nerfs and maintain good win rate
The problem with falinks actually just lies in the way they designed the mon. Right now it sucks ass because it's a decent pokemon that gets countered hard due to the multiple segment mechanic it has. Compared to blaziken which has much better value for less risk, ofc falinks isn't doing that well. But because of the way the no-retreat is designed alongside the way Iron Head works with NR, they can't buff anything except maybe beat up, because it'd shoot back up to that insane 60% winrate it used to have. Considering how incapable the balance team is at balancing rn, I also highly doubt we'll get a proper buff to the mon any time soon, even if it is fun to use :(
I think the pokemon is adorable but as a falink main its so annoying to just be a big hitbox to any pokemon. I wish its only hit box was the leader of the group.
Wondering should they just make the little trooper Falinks not work with Giga Drain/Extreme Speed type abilites? Would it be broken in its current state with that change?
Falinks is not the most popular nor strongest in any Pokémon game. That might be the reason why players don't use Falinks in unite,since they hold no emotional attachment to it and it having inconsistent gameplay( 2:12 )
Why unite is not releasing Infernape or Septile in the game they will probably be all rounder but they are neede now . One of the most famous pokemon of ash bruh
What stopped me from wanting to play Falinks was the coin cost, 14k when I have about 77k. Might just buy it, though what is your third item? I see Charging Charm and Razor Claw.
I think other starters could do the trick, Infernape we have Blaziken, for Sceptile we have Leafeon. I would like to see Meganium, Chesnaught, Primarina, Emboar much more than the others
Falinks can be fun yes Falinks can be good yes HOWEVER, you absolutely CANNOT have Falinks go back to the power that it was at because we all knew and felt that Iron Head + No Retreat was absolutely busted since it was everywhere more than Mimikyu
I pick falinks in every game that i can atm... in draft games this season that has been a total of 0 games. Id play it, but i will not play something that just straight up auto loses into a9 and duck, and has an absolutely awful matchup vs 5 mons which become s+ tier specifically playing into falinks
They should make it a single hitbox like other Pokemon. It's not like a nerf Zacian has with two items, this is a way worse nerf than that. Also, for Duraludon they should just bring THE BRIDGE, i mean ARCHALUDON to unite. Maybe people will like a bridge more than a fridge 😂😂
Also, unite db states that Falinks can receive up to 110% amount of damage from an opponents single attack. This poke is broken, but on the end of the term
I'm a big fan of Falinks' design in the regular game, but its just awful in Unite. It feels awful to play and the only build I remotely care about is Beat Up/Megahorn which just sucks and is a terrible moveset. Iron Head's weird aiming and need to put you behind the opponent gets me killed more often than not, so I really dislike using Iron Head.
Nah falinks is great. It's just really difficult to play perfectly, but I have seen things. I'm decent at best on falinks, but I got arandom early this season do 190k damage without a support. He was dashing and pushing enemies around like a fucking pinball. I was shocked. Also if we're talking about counters, things like dodrio have worse match right now. With Umbreon at almost 40% pickrate, anything that is mobility focused feels almost like an int.
I think pokemon popularity matters. Falinks is a niche mon who has some fans but not a big group like Cram. And you always say Cram videos never do good with viewing even when it is good. Design is unique. It looks cute and funny. But at best its another good allrounder that can get countered. Not that easy to learn either so it never pops up for people to choose it over many other options
I really want to like em but early game feels awful, unite is worse than its abilities and doesn't currently synergize with its overall kit, and Beat Up isn't as interesting as it could be. There are also very few opportunities to feel safe picking it without being countered.
I think they aren't played because it's not popular. Since when the Pokémon Unite comunity plays something because it's good or bad (holy trinity of the attackers are a proof).
Falinks unite is just absolute gutter apart from melting objective it's just a huge spinning target for opponents!! It's unite should have unstoppable atleast!!

It can make people upset.
Yeah I main falinks I got it gold but now I can't even play it they nerf it so much
OMG not the Falinks in thumbnail 😭
I don't think popularity has anything to do with their pickrate, I mean take Dodrio for example, before she was released in Unite, I'm sure there were less Dodrio fans than Falinks fans.

My sister HATES falinks and I've been defending it since swsh
Why is falinks bad in every game it’s in even though it has a really cool design
I've actually been having a blast with no retreat and Megahorn and I feel like people forgot it can still one shot squishy pokemon and the hindrance resistant allows it to fight Darkrai! I've actually Koed so many darkrais in their ult with Falinks
I also got a 170,000 game with a gold badge mew and blissey with the build
so you are that 1% guy who is picking fa links xd

Man it's crazy despite dura getting reworked it's still one of the least used which is a shame
It not much of a rework that why

What was the rework?

Go you for doing this. Most people genuinely only play broken meta mons OR gold badge rocky helmet slick spoon cinderaces
alll I know is that I would like it to have a scoring concept like dodrio, each segment scores a certain amount of points
Falinks is my favorite Pokémon so it being added to Unite was so damn exciting for me. The little dudes are very fun to play with imo

Max stacks is 3,
You can test is practice area
Still 3 per ability’s crazy if your laning I can get like 40 symtacks before gigaton hammmers even available lol
But Unite Wiki says its up to 5 stacks
I guess they wanted to make it balanced by giving it strong counters, except they probably overdid it.
i tried playing it, its hard to use in ranked its so absurd on how i keep losing in 1v1 but he's good in the 4v4 arenas (in the christmas one i am just wrecking everything)

That probably was because their wasnt any major counter moveset such as venasaur, tsareena, lucario blaziken, talon etc which was his point of the pokemon being good but also bad
Probably because Cris in top ladder where people actually know how to play the game
Honestly, a good buff would be the tropes only got a hitbox when you use beat up
Falinks should've had something similar to Azir's ult from League when you can shove opponents in a direction
The Developers like to buff special attackers and special builds, so of course forgotten physical pokemon go deeper down the meta and pick rate
I'm a huge Falinks main still lol I'm probably that entire 1.5% pick rate for it 😂 I usually run Megahorn + No Retreat combo. It can get really tanky actually especially with full stack Aeos Cookie. But yeah I'd love for them to buff/rework it a tad bit
I feel bad for Falinks because it's one of my favorite fighting types
Its so cute
It's like the 'the council will decide your fate' meme or something
Poor Falinks the game didn't spoil him especially since he's my favorite Pokémon 😢
The most annoying part are not the counter-interactions, but when these are inconsistent. For example, normally troupers cannot be hindranced, UNLESS is the Ninetales passive, which perma-freezes the whole Falinks. Any other interaction can be navigated, not this one. They should remove the inconsistent interactions while keeping those making sense (Talonflame, Lucario)
i think they should make falinks have a better ability, one that compensates for falinks being basically a worm boss from terraria
I was so excited for falinks when it came out. Its adorable. But like you said it sadly is countered quite hard. If they reworked it i would definitely pick it up again.
Maybe the way to just simply end this curse on Falinks is to eliminate the extra hitboxes
I honestly love Falinks in general, I also like how it works in Unite too
I do think the troops shouldn't hinder you as much, like with damage overall and with how stuff like some status work on it
I think the troops being hinderance resistant could be be nice, unless they are away with Beat Up
Wish we had full grey emblems. Could be interesting on Falinks.
If I didn't give you shields, you'd be fucked.
were u the blissey 😂😂😂
I think Bubble Beam psyduck is rough for Falinks now too
It has so many hard counters and all the strength he had was taken away leaving only husk of what he was…..
the problem is with the playerbase too...they only play a specific set of pokemons that are really common in the game like pika, og trio, sableye, elde, zera....they don't really care about new mons unless they are broken
"The most failed pokemon" then proceeds to destroy the enemy team like nothing, effortless
U didn't understand this video
@CrisHeroes apparently xD, it looks like you are trying to roast ma boy
Falinks in the main game I think is pretty cool, design and uniqueness wise. Same with Duraludon, I just hope one day they add Archaludon to the game.
I think the main reason ppl dont play Falinks is b/c he's unpopular, not that he is countered hard (which doesn't help).

The way FALINKS sounds the same with FAILING 😭
Woah, you got your charging charm to max level near instantly with beat up cause of the high attack frequency. Gonna try that.
I love the idea of having a strong character but easily countered. But it should just be stronger. It should be OP without counter, thats it
I really like Falinks and think it's fun to play.. IF you don't end up against one of those counters.

It's definitely most slept on pokemon
If opponent doesn't have pokemon like lucario Or venusaur, it can cook hard I myself play with it since after nerfs and maintain good win rate
There will always be someone least played or least interested to play!
If TIMI changed hitbox for falinks then falinks would be A tier honestly the beat damage plus shield is strong but gets countered by every other mon
I played it twice yesterday and somehow both games had E Speed Lucarios. Not a fun experience. They definitely need to change the hitboxes.
Welp, time to main Falinks until his pick rate goes up
Tbh i think i like it because right now i hust got 32 kills while camping them and only dying once
I enjoy playing Falinks... but can't pick it in draft unless I get last pick. An enemy Ninetales makes it completely unplayable.
I fun but too hard counter by many things and only one viable build after no retreat nerf
The problem with falinks actually just lies in the way they designed the mon. Right now it sucks ass because it's a decent pokemon that gets countered hard due to the multiple segment mechanic it has. Compared to blaziken which has much better value for less risk, ofc falinks isn't doing that well.

What is you use the curse bangle to limit the amount of healing
Falinks can be fun yes
Falinks can be good yes
HOWEVER, you absolutely CANNOT have Falinks go back to the power that it was at because we all knew and felt that Iron Head + No Retreat was absolutely busted since it was everywhere more than Mimikyu

Makes me sad, one of my favorites from the newer generations with a cool fun design, but it flops in Unite😞
Falinks + Bees / E speed Luca = 200k damage
Also, unite db states that Falinks can receive up to 110% amount of damage from an opponents single attack. This poke is broken, but on the end of the term
I'm a big fan of Falinks' design in the regular game, but its just awful in Unite. It feels awful to play and the only build I remotely care about is Beat Up/Megahorn which just sucks and is a terrible moveset. Iron Head's weird aiming and need to put you behind the opponent gets me killed more often than not, so I really dislike using Iron Head.
Nah falinks is great. It's just really difficult to play perfectly, but I have seen things. I'm decent at best on falinks, but I got arandom early this season do 190k damage without a support. He was dashing and pushing enemies around like a fucking pinball. I was shocked. Also if we're talking about counters, things like dodrio have worse match right now. With Umbreon at almost 40% pickrate, anything that is mobility focused feels almost like an int.
If falinks isn't broken, no one will use it. Truth hurts.
I think pokemon popularity matters. Falinks is a niche mon who has some fans but not a big group like Cram. And you always say Cram videos never do good with viewing even when it is good.
Design is unique. It looks cute and funny. But at best its another good allrounder that can get countered. Not that easy to learn either so it never pops up for people to choose it over many other options
Im one of them duraludon mfs, flash cannon is goated
I really want to like em but early game feels awful, unite is worse than its abilities and doesn't currently synergize with its overall kit, and Beat Up isn't as interesting as it could be. There are also very few opportunities to feel safe picking it without being countered.
I like playing falinks
Donnot say this about my falinks I countered mewtoo with him just one shoted with mega horn
Gonna pick falinks just because of this
Hi Cris i love You ❤️
I think they aren't played because it's not popular. Since when the Pokémon Unite comunity plays something because it's good or bad (holy trinity of the attackers are a proof).
More like Fail-inks, amiright?….😂
I love Falinks, dont hate me.😢
Falinks unite is just absolute gutter apart from melting objective it's just a huge spinning target for opponents!! It's unite should have unstoppable atleast!!
please give it a rework😢
They abandoned him
I LOVE FALINKSSSSSSSS
falinks is my boi
I play it but just a new player
we could’ve had sceptile or another cool mon but nooo let’s add an irrelevant galar mon 😬 timi is not the sharpest tool in the shed for sure
I wanna buy this
