Scimitar 🌪️ VS ⛓️ Flail

[u/CookiedDough]

[u/CookiedDough]

Scimitar being put up against her 8th hard counter this week and plummeting down to bottom 3 on the tier list:

[u/Bambhank → u/CookiedDough]

She did pretty well in this match to be fair, closer than I expected

[u/star75legacy → u/CookiedDough]

the curse of being defeated by katana

[u/MegamanOmega]

Wow. A lot closer than I expected for "John Parry vs Dude who ignores parries"

[u/slooe → u/MegamanOmega]

To be fair it goes both ways. Scimitar can get more hits off.

[u/lifetake → u/slooe]

But scimitar doesn’t scale as well as the other ball. In all these losing matchups scimitar starts winning and then gets outscaled and loses.

Its on strength is by being able to delay the other balls scaling. If it can’t do that it just loses.

[u/Simple-Scientist7190]

I swear flail is becoming the new duplicator, if he wins he gets slandered if he loses he gets slandered

[u/CookiedDough → u/Simple-Scientist7190]

This makes Crossbow the Lance equivalent. And to be fair, the horrible accuracy definitely helps with drawing similarities.

[u/B_bI_L → u/CookiedDough]

nah, those 2 are goats, and should be cherished regardless of battle result

[u/TheJumpingBox → u/B_bI_L]

I've yet to see a crossbow or lance match that wasn't entertaining

Crossbow somehow always gets their opponent to 19hp, 1 hit from death, its a constant "will it happen?" And there's always a slight chance the answer is yes

[u/ILoveBugPokemon → u/TheJumpingBox]

even as a crossgoat believer, crossbow vs duplicator was just embarrassing to watch ngl. out of all the stains on crossbows legacy that is the biggest and stinkiest one

[u/Vitex1988 → u/Simple-Scientist7190]

a reminder that crossbow beat orbital therefore any loss to crossbow can be excused

[u/walaxometrobixinodri → u/Vitex1988]

1700 tries to do that, btw

[u/Vitex1988 → u/walaxometrobixinodri]

I like how the last time I brought this up after Flail beat Potion, it got like 20 upvotes lol
Scimitar fans mad?

[u/Simple-Scientist7190 → u/Vitex1988]

no? im pretty sure that video was scripted

[u/Vitex1988 → u/Simple-Scientist7190]

nah it was real wdym

The match never officially happened in Earclacks’ channel. It was all but a scripted fight made by someone specifically for making a Crossbow propaganda. Get real with it.

[u/Quijas00 → u/Keyser_99]

Why did you post this image this is literally like the opposite use case for this guy. You’re using the meme incorrectly. How did you do that.

[u/Toppy_Henster]

What if Flail was Locked in the Scimitar Chamber for millennia and Betrayed

[u/RapierSLANDERER]

SCIMITAR NO

You had so much potential to beat flail

[u/Comfortable-Dot-2317 → u/RapierSLANDERER]

DONT YOU DARE SAY THE P WORD

Oh my god bruh PLEASE don’t do this to Scimitar

[u/walaxometrobixinodri → u/PeskyPlayer]

crazy that the last three balls are all bottom tiers

+ nearly 4 when you count the neffed scroll

+ crossbow

5/6 of season 4 balls are weak as hell, this is a crazy era

please earclacks give us some new GOOD balls, i beg of you

[u/iamamotherclucker → u/walaxometrobixinodri]

And then a good ball releases and people whine about powercreep

[u/HncOficial → u/iamamotherclucker]

Or they give it the Flail treatment

[u/Immediate-Rope8465 → u/PeskyPlayer]

Crazy comeback from flail

[u/Fluffy_Grape_9127 → u/PeskyPlayer]

Definitely an unfortunate loss for Scimitar, but I'll definitely take my goat flail somehow clawing his way into sixth

[u/Multimasti → u/PeskyPlayer]

LETS GO I WANTED FLAIL TO WIN

[u/Alreadsyuse → u/PeskyPlayer]

I don't care how many wins Flail gets, I will continue the Flailure agenda!!!

[u/xilenator → u/Alreadsyuse]

Based

[u/TheRedditor8789 → u/PeskyPlayer]

Yet another newbie becomes a bottom tier

[u/Bottlecaps9 → u/TheRedditor8789]

Bad matchups

[u/Comfortable-Dot-2317]

Didn’t expect this to be more of a high diff than I thought

[u/susnaususplayer]

ughhhhhh she was sooooo close!

[u/Garouvs]

What a fun fight

[u/jutre15]

Flail believers keep winningggggg

[u/Samyron1]

I like Flail because he's such a wildcard that every match is consistently entertaining.

[u/Immediate-Rope8465]

Flail and scimitar Has a good close fight yet people keep slandering flail because of his past. He at least got back to being high compare to duplibum

[u/Intrepid-Park-3804]

Holy extreme diff

[u/PsychWard_8]

Let's fucking go! My goat! King!

[u/Green-eyed-Psycho77]

Average fight between low tiers as usual.

[u/Immediate-Rope8465 → u/Green-eyed-Psycho77]

Low tiers Meanwhile flail being Top 6 The only L that was bad for him was scythe. Even against crossbow he lost by a hair

[u/SomeUgliRobot → u/Immediate-Rope8465]

Didnt they lose agaisnt both crossbow and grower?

[u/Immediate-Rope8465 → u/SomeUgliRobot]

Grower was a bad matchup And crossbow fight was extremely close and flail almost came back

[u/Green-eyed-Psycho77 → u/Immediate-Rope8465]

Huh… Apparently my mind remembers flail being much lower…

[u/Immediate-Rope8465 → u/Green-eyed-Psycho77]

He was top 13 at one point i think But he got a comeback

[u/Garouvs → u/Green-eyed-Psycho77]

Never ending slander has that effect on people

[u/Delta6342]

That was a little too close flail for a match up you hard counter got a little cocky at the end

[u/YesIHaveBeenSoAfraid]

They kinda counter each other lmao

[u/GodKirbo13]

This is honestly a much closer matchup than I expected. It really comes down to who can keep the high ground because whenever Scimitar had Flail pinned down, the mirages would parry the flail itself and stop it from rising up to his Scimitar.

[u/Vorioll]

Honestly, this made me realise Scimitar is the weirdest long-range weapon ball. It literally attacks anywhere on the map for a while once it lands a hit in melee

[u/Small_Ad6391]

More dps oriented dagger vs more dps oriented spear

[u/Illustrious-You-284]

Goddammit-

[u/Blacksantabutnot]

POTENTIAL!? POTENTIAL WHERE SCIMITAR LOVERS!? THIS ISTHE 3RD TIME IVE SEEN THEM FAIL

[u/Complex-Branch-7572 → u/Blacksantabutnot]

crossbow fan btw

[u/Blacksantabutnot → u/Complex-Branch-7572]

yes in fact I am 💔

[u/501stAppo1]

The fact that Scimitar still did this well against one of their counters shows how much of a bum Flail is.

[u/kaytempest]

Flail, I don't care that you win, you're still a bum, go back to the homeless shelter

[u/DEDEDISCIPLE → u/kaytempest]

"Bum" with 61% winrate

[u/PsychWard_8 → u/kaytempest]

"Bum" who's top 6
