It's not about the game but last night I caught the English theatrical showing for Beginning of a New Era. Probably like 85-90% full, only the front row and a half were empty. Handful of cosplayers.

10/10 peak. Bucket-kun's the best MC of all the Uma anime I've seen so far by a mile (we'll see if Ogurin and co dethrone her, CinGray's the last thing I haven't watched and I'm technically only halfway through main Uma s3). Tachyon's a great weirdo foil. Cafe's still a cute cryptid. Dantsu's there. Fuji's Kisekis deserve an honorable mention.

Now please give me movie timeline Scarlet+Vodka+Machan, I beg you.

And in honor of the English theatrical release, pakatube put out one of the old videos but subtitled

Game wise I"m suffering through Aquarius prep. Got maybe 1.5 characters done, adjusting my deck trying to find the right balance for getting a new Falco done in time (I have a couple but the good ones of the batch missed one crucial thing and so they're bad).

1/7 Valentine Cafe

So if you've not had a chance to log in since yesterday, there's three things going on that you might want to jump on:

1. You can receive chocolates from any of the girls you've pulled so far, which is a month late but we won't quibble too loudly.

2. Year One Anniversary event is here, so there's daily carrot drops, a special category in the store with extra gacha tickets and clocks, and limited time special goals for extra coins and friend points.

3. For the next 40+ days, loot drops are doubled (again) and practice point costs are halved to start careers, so if you're like me and forever farming then now's a good time to get back out there.

Spend weeks building umas to win all five of the track type trophies, driving myself particularly nuts to win the "Dirt" and "Long" trophies because I only had Haru for the former and races for the latter are few and far between until Senior year.

Then Trackblazer steps up and declares "Do it again! But this time, add in the challenge that you have to run your umas until they drop dead!"

*sigh*

You don't use Taiki, El, or Oguri for dirt? I ran El Condor Pasa for Trackblazer dirt.

I only picked up URA Long recently, when I realized I hadn't actually gotten it. It took me two tries with Rice Shower to get the math right.

As for Trackblazer, you don't really have to run your umas that hard to win. For Sprint, I ended up scheduling the two G1 races, and enough G2 races to make the yearly requirement, plus a few shop coins.

Long is actually easier in Trackblazer, because I can ignore the required races of a career. Just run one or two races in junior year for the shop, then it's long races all the way down.

In general, though - just hit G1 races. Triple Crown/Tiara, Senior Spring Triple Crown, and Senior Autumn Triple Crown covers a lot of what's needed to win. Add in a few extra races for shop coins.

I've read that Trackblazer was originally meant as a sandbox, and in my experience that seems accurate. The skills you use in the first two campaigns are sufficient to win, and having the shop just makes things easier.

As far as I can tell, the "Run Them to Death" policy is for people who treat each Champions' Meeting as SRS BZNS. I haven't tried it, but I suspect that I could beat Trackblazer with 0% Race Bonus if I wanted to. I wouldn't get the high-rating umas that the people in r/UmamusumeGame are posting images of, but that's SOP anyhow.

Also, when you make the Dirt run in TB, win the Unicorn Stakes, Leopard Stakes, and Japan Dirt Derby if you can. It's part of the Anniversary goals.

I don't have Taiki, and for some reason my caveman brain insisted that Haru was the go-to for the Dirt trophy. I had both El and Oguri but I kept chasing glory and ended up with the Medium or Mile trophies instead.

In my defense, Haru is a little speed demon in the dust these days. Only one in my roster who can hold a candle to her is Digi.

Yeah, I picked it up with Goldshi because she's just built different. It looks like she'll get the TS Long trophy as well.

I did the tried and true: I threw Bakushin at it.

Yeah, advice I've seen elsewhere amounts to "do enough races for points, do all the long races, and train the rest of the time but don't expect much to come out the other end."

>In general, though - just hit G1 races. Triple Crown/Tiara, Senior

I'm a habitual crown seeker anyway, so that strategy generally works to begin with.

It definitely does feel like a sandbox and is very liberating, especially if a particular uma had a necessary crown race locked out by her goals.

Yeah, I'm not one of the sweats and I still don't have a single S-rank uma. Even the trophy business is more about being a completionist than anything else. But like I said once about (IIRC) the Capricorn Cup, I'm only really in it to do a little better today than I did yesterday.

Done, done, and done.

I must admit to some puzzlement as to why this would take weeks. To get into a particular finale, you only just need to be careful and run the most of that kind of race during the career. I guess there's technically some control needed because otherwise default habits probably end up with someone in Medium rather than Long, but once that's realized it should only take 1 run? May take a slight amount of out-of-game research to pick a career whose goals doesn't make this more difficult than it has to be but that's about it.

Long might be the easiest finale to win, even, because basically none of the opponents have enough Stam to finish the race properly.

So a few reasons why it took me a bit to clear out the track type trophies:

1. Game dropped at the middle of summer, which as a hotel employee in a tourist town is the busiest time of year. So there were many days when I was lucky to sleep, much less do the dailies on three different gacha games (the other two dropping events because summer is their busy season). And this was before most of the QoL updates that sped up the game.

2. As far as the Dirt trophy goes, besides my Cro magnon behavior of insisting poor little Haru carry that weight, I still don't have Taiki or Falco so before I got Digi I was convinced Our Daughter was the best dirt runner. In fact, I just finished the Dirt trophy today with Hentai after crashing out of an Oguri Alter run because of poor choice of sparks.

3. And the Long trophy was mostly because I'd yet to read the "Just use Goldshi" guides that every noob eventually discovers to their embarrassment.

This has been your moment of a glimpse into the life of a Rookie Uma Trainer, we now return you to your regularly scheduled program: Courage: The Cowardly Dog.

LAST EDITED ON Mar-16-26 AT 01:15 AM (EDT)
 
Ah. So you weren't building umas in the sense I think of.

I'm building Umas with Ignited Spirit PWR sparks, because it feels like something that works more often than getting three-star stat sparks. Eventually, I'll have a decent chance of having that skill in any scenario, with almost any umamusume.

This new career mode scenario seems really complicated. Like doing-your-taxes complicated. And Baku suddenly goes from the easiest uma to train to a completely hopeless case because she's such a specialist, which admittedly seems to be the whole point of the scenario (not against Baku specifically, but as a general anti-specialist measure)...

Yeah, this scenario is bad for dedicated Sprinters and 100% dedicated Dirt runners. Everyone else can probably take inheritances to fix their distances and find an okay path to run.

Check out the Trackblazer/MANT Guide over at Game8, it's pretty comprehensive as far as the mechanics, best cards to use, race guides for specific girls, etc.

The "Turf, Sprint to Mile Rotation" under the race guide works for Bakushin as well as Taiki, Curren, & Akebono (though Curren & Akebono need sparks for the Mile races).

The two big issues with this scenario are that it's built for racing and the best stat boosts/skill hints are from rivals races which are mostly Mile races. So specialists who only had to win goal races in previous scenarios struggle to begin with and then if you have no Mile aptitude you're doubly buggered.

>This new career mode scenario seems really complicated. Like
>doing-your-taxes complicated.

One of the Umamusume streamers on YouTube compared it to playing a roguelike game.

I'm mostly throwing Umas at it, and seeing what works. I pushed to 70% race bonus for the lols, then dialed it back only to discover that one of my best cards for Late Surger happened to have race bonus.

Still not exceeding A+ ratings.

Gran Alegria 1/7

This is what I get for not reading the update notes, I didn't realize they were adding past Legends Races as a daily thing so that I can both pick up the "trophies" I missed and farm for Taiki and Spe-chan.

Been waiting for this patiently for awhile, finally got to pick up the one damn trophy I missed for joining late and simply not being strong enough at the time to win.

And yeah, I think 10 days or so and I'll get Teio. After that I think Spe is closest.

It's been rumored for a couple of months. I'm totally in it for the shoes and carats.

Yup, my crew did something similar. Couldn't win more than two to save their lives throughout Round 1, then won 3 in a row in my first attempt at Round 2. I guess Fukukitaru just wasn't feeling the feng shui for Group A.

If it makes you feel any better, there's a bit of a nasty trap for people who are right on the border. It's possible to just barely get 3 wins to qualify to Group A in Round 2, but then achieve 0 wins in Round 2 A and thus not qualify for ANY Finals, not even the B Finals consolation (which only takes a single win).

My Team Trials squad is in a similar odd position. They can easily put together a promotion to Class 5 in any given week, but I think they've only managed to meet the retention score once in a following week. Much more often they get promoted, then relegated, then promoted, over and over.

Spend Thursday ripping my hair out trying to get Maru through a MANT career without crashing out due to either constant mood drops or poor skill optimization. Three runs, two ragequits, and she does worse in the one finish than she did in Unity.

Take Swimsuit Maru out for her first career run on Friday and S ranks so hard that she ends up leading my Mile team in Team Trials.

Fitting she drives a Countach because she acts just like an Italian supercar: temperamental, high maintenance, and prone to breakdowns.

Couple of fandom things that came across my desk, the first is the classic "Which character are you?" quiz which can be found here. Wound up with Air Groove, which isn't overly surprising considering I'm a bit of an introvert yet sociable in my daily life, civil if a bit of a sharp tongue, and randomly compelled to clean a room to within a inch of its life.

The other is a pair of videos over at YT covering the most dangerous time of year at Tracen Academy for trainers: Spring Heat.

Oh, heh, yeah half my server of veteran gacha players got Nakayama Festa which...yeah fine that tracks.

Burned the SSR selectors and my two rainbows to get up to 3LB Fine Motion, so as to make my deck human again. I faffed about and am sitting on far too many pulls I cannot actualize into account power right now because of standing pat during the 3 good banners over the past month and change, so I've really been feeling the lack of it prior to pulling the trigger.

All of Falco's smarts are focused on accumulating fans from across the multiverse right now, not solving how to confess to trainer and get out of the idol zone.

>I could say SS+ Wit seems a bit out of character for Falco, but that
>would be mean.

Falco's problem is she's simply too seiso to act on her instincts, that being a famous umadol is too important to cross that "idols can't date" line.

It's a bit like her roommate (Eishin Flash) who is infamous for that Germanic level of detail and punctuality...but falters when it runs face first into a situation she did not plan for.

>admittedly, not as much as the time Rin built a
>similarly overendowed Bakushin.

Bakushin's not dumb, she's just...enthusiastic.

She actually does acknowledge in her "good" ending that she knew all along the "3 sprints = 1 long race" bit was a lie but she played along because she trusted you that much.

Finally got Taiki Shuttle (and there was much rejoicing*) and seeing her skill activation sparked the realization in my head that, as a guy who spent summers in Kentucky as a kid, the four girls (so far) in the game identified as coming from the state are:

1. A hardcore weeb (Grass)
2. A luchadora (El)
3. A cowgirl (Taiki)
4. A diehard otaku (Digi)

*deadpan* Yay

You know how I've had a string of getting umas just after their particular rate-up window has expired?

Earlier I thought, Well, they gave me 1500 karats, I might as well do a 10-pull on the Seiun Sky/Fuji Kiseki special outfits banner. I don't have either one of them in regular form either. Of course I won't get them; if anything I'll get Fine Motion or whoever was rate-up last week, I forget.
