Another contest come and gone, and it feels like the immense enthusiasm from MYM25 ended up carrying over to this one too. You really would think that Slavic Day, the final JamCon, and ending day would've eaten into each other more, or that the 4.5 month submission period would've prevented us...

Fuma Kotaro So, first of all, this set is a vast improvement over Nui. Focusing on a more universal mechanic in her ability to repeatedly inject herself to buff up her next attack(and movement speed before she attacks) is a pretty basic one, but I always enjoy using Incineroar's grab weakness to...

Citizen V This set is really cool in some ways I wouldn't have expected, and leans into the "False" theming among the most of any set in the JamCon. Its all about fake outs from a fake hero, and I was surprised how much mileage the set gets out of that silly little cape trick it throws out at...

Shadow Naoto The core concept here with Heat Riser is a lot of fun, with Shadow Naoto having a lot of strategy in how she uses it in how all purpose it is. You can use it to cancel end lag, cancel knockback, extend combos she couldn't usually get, or even just to approach from some uniquely...

One last set for the road.

Sauron I'm just going to say up front, its been a long time since I've read a set and had this little idea of where I want to rank it. I think the reason why comes down to the One Ring mechanic in a lot of ways, which is a really interesting concept that I have no idea how to evaluate. The foe...

King Radical You seemed very hyped for this set writing it, and if early reviews were any indication it was for good reason. Upon reading it, I'd say it pretty much lived up to the hype for me, although the actual process of reading it was a bit odd. The set introduces a LOT of ways to augment...

Okiku As far as your continued delving into the anime ninja cliches archetype goes, Okiku isn't re-inventing the wheel. The item shenanigans, multi-follow up movement move, and duplicates are stuff I've seen in my fair share of Kat sets before, but if nothing else I think the execution is solid...

Don't Touch Me Don't Touch Me is an Abnormality from Lobotomy Corporation, a game about attempting to juggle management of a facility filled with highly dangerous anomalous entities. As you can see, Don't Touch Me is a button, and if you do touch it, bad things happen. How bad depends on how...

+Splosion Man+ Splosion Man is essentially a science experiment gone wrong. He's a creature capable of exploding... without dying instantly. However, that was actually a bad thing, because he felt a deep desire to splode his creators. So, some scientists died, and he ran around blowing himself...

For this Slavic Day, I have delved into the tombs of old sets I wrote back when I was on the Spore Forums before joining MYM, made circa MYM7. For the record, yes I am actually submitting these, you can vote for them as they were intended to be serious sets at the time they were made and as far...

Astor You know, I kept thinking about reading Lana even during my hiatus, and then this set pops up as something clearly hyped up to a greater degree than she was looking at the early comments. Its really nice to see FFC adapting to MYM and throwing out what actually feels like a heavy hitter of...

Akechi II/Black Mask/Loki Akechi/Akechi After The Traumatic Breakfast Incident So, maybe this is me being conditioned to accept madness after some of the sets I read in MYM25, but is it just me or is Akechi II really not that ridiculous of a moveset. Usually when I get hit with a 40k monstrosity...

Nanashi Mumei This set's one I've got a bit of an odd relationship with, as I did preview it, and it was certainly an interesting previewing process where I was maybe a bit harsher on the set than its final reception turned out to be. I do regret not saying that the tornadoes probably should not...

Randall Flagg Its funny how you thought this wasn't going to be some big set when you were talking about your projects between contests and aiming for a smaller scale one. Clearly, this project grew well beyond your expectations, and to be honest, I'm all for it. This is a really exciting...
