The ONLY Belo Betty guide you will EVER NEED! (in-depth matchup discussion w/ Barniekong) - OPCG

[@BarnieKong]

It was a pleasure working qith you my friend! Thanks for having me on!

[@hashtagemb]

It was my pleasure my man👍🏻

[@lanejaxon2276]

I started playing Betty as my main in op09 and all of your videos have been super helpful

[@hashtagemb]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for the support❤️

[@MarcosRenato-v5c]

bro you saved my life, thanks a lot!!!

[@sarkshadow123]

Bro im a belo betty main till i die a and these videos are a godsend for real

[@hashtagemb]

Glad we could help! Love the support❤️

[@cameronkline819]

I think that its important to add that kuma can help a lot in the doffy matchup when it comes to removing their searchers and making it so law has nothing to bounce back to hand. I was trying a list that did not use kuma and the problem of being unable to deal with doffy searchers was very apparent.

[@Caasi29]

Law can still bounce himself sadly.

[@hashtagemb]

I like to do this as well, however I’ve noticed that a lot of the time the impact it has on your curve can be a little detrimental, where as popping their searcher won’t impact the game so much, they’ll just bounce law back anyways and use it again

[@cameronkline819]

Yeah that checks out. The tempo kick to only push back the play one turn would definitely put you in a worse spot

[@PsybaeOSRS]

thanks lads! great content

[@hashtagemb]

Glad you liked it thanks for the support!👍🏻

[@PsybaeOSRS]

@@hashtagemb is there anyway you can export this cheat sheet for us?

[@hashtagemb]

Oof I don’t think so, you’re probably best off just screenshotting every slide

[@Cobalt_11]

lol i lost my first tournament match to an RP luffy bc I didn't know what G5 Luffy did. Appreciate the content!

[@hashtagemb]

Yup it’s such a sneaky win condition, especially against our low hand size! thanks for the support❤️

[@leozzeras]

It's funny how local meta shifts a lot. Just played 2 Red Sanjis on a small tournament last week.

[@hashtagemb]

For sure, but looking at larger tournaments you’re incredibly unlikely to run into Sanji

[@hashtagemb]

But if you do… you’re cooked

[@leozzeras]

@@hashtagemb Had the chance to win both, but I'm very good at making bad decisions! 🥲

[@hashtagemb]

You and me both brother…

[@leozzeras]

@@hashtagemb to be honest, I have about 10 games with this deck (Adam's top 64 version); I'm not quite used to it. I'll report my next acomplishments here! ;)

[@facundocalderon8370]

[@YearofTheHandsome2]

What do you guys thinking of replacing some of the event for a 10c roger?

[@hashtagemb]

I don’t think Roger is good, you’re supposed to have ended the game by ten don and if not, there are way stronger plays available and if there’s no chance to play him he is such a brick in hand which can be super detrimental

[@YearofTheHandsome2]

@ last question, do you think beckman or the op05 sabo would also be a good addition for additional removal?

[@hashtagemb]

Definitely not Beckman, using 7 don to get rid of something and establish a body that can’t even be boosted is waaay to slow when you can get out like 3 characters instead, Sabo could be argued for just against black since it can ko both Rebecca and brook in one fell swoop even without any reducers, however I think the general consensus is that you’re better off establishing more bodies

[@acyet]

Goats

[@Caasi29]

I think with PLuffy I know this is going to sound crazy, but I prefer to steal first from them. Their curve is so much stronger going first.

[@hashtagemb]

Problem is, they get the same curve no matter, just that they have to take one less life

[@viniciuspimentel1558]

O started playing with Betty now, what's the besta list now ? And I would like to ask, events in Thais deck, that you counter 3k and play 1 5000k our low

[@hashtagemb]

You can find competitive lists on both mine and barniekongs channel! And no nobody really plays the 3c event, but it’s not necessarily a bad card, just use it for trigger and dump it for leader effect if you draw it

[@MarcosRenato-v5c]

how do you feel belo betty will perform in op10?

[@hashtagemb]

I spoke about it in my latest video, but I’m fairly certain our matchup spread gets even better, especially if doffy get nerfed or it sees less play because of the meta shift

[@Thewing2001]

Ill ask on both channels btw! Whats your opinion on 6c Nico Robin, yellow belo betty, & Dragon Flame King Event??? I been enjoying them alot but i rarely see them played

[@hashtagemb]

As for nico robin, she’s cool I love playing with her, however she feels just a tiny bit slower than 5c ivankov and 6c koala which are just better in that turn slot As for dragon king, I don’t think that card makes any sense, events don’t really belong in Betty as you’re better off playing a character, and you really shouldn’t be countering out of attacks. 3c Betty is just way too conditional, 2 life or less to draw a card is not good especially when the turn you wanna play her is your 3 don turn, and of course that trigger is awful as well

[@YellowYellow-m1d]

Do you have any upcoming tournaments? Would love to see how you do in competitive, great video!

[@hashtagemb]

Yes! I’m playing in all the Europe treasure cups for February! So expect some Betty tops from me soon👍🏻

[@riccardofava471]

I think in the doffy matchup you forgot about gravity blade

[@Kimch87]

Nah, they mention it

[@hashtagemb]

You can’t necessarily play around it anyway so I didn’t find it worth to go over more so than the other strategies for the matchup👍🏻

[@marcoseiler9132]

How many of the stage do you play? I am really torn on it, you sometimes really wanna find specific pieces and Koala and ivan can brick you up. But you also have to find the stage early for it to have much impact and playing more than two feels kinda wasted, espacially if it was meant to unbrick you.

[@hashtagemb]

I run three in my current build, the thing is, and I think Adam brought this up, stage can easily cycle stage as well, so even if you see three stage in your starting hand you keep it because they’ll all be gone on turn two anyways

[@Cobalt_11]

@@hashtagemb when would you prioritize playing 2 1C over playing stage on 1?

[@hashtagemb]

If I have 4c ivankov in hand I play double 1c, that way my next turn is very explosive It’s very rare to see two one drops and a stage in your starting hand tho so I wouldn’t worry too much about it, however if you do, it’s generally the best play against doffy for example In general I don’t like playing stage turn one if I have other options, the bodies on board are more important at that time

[@Cobalt_11]

@hashtagemb thank you thank you - appreciate all the responses. I think this deck is very good but has a really high skill ceiling and decision making is tough in the moment so it rlly helps

[@Thewing2001]

Sadly every top meta deck since bettys release has countered our rev army deck 😢

[@hashtagemb]

Naaah, we chilling, we really only struggle against doffy atm, and before then the deck has still been good, people just don’t play it

[@Thewing2001]

@hashtagemb yeah but we were countered by sakazuki then rp law and lucci which have all been tier 0 decks that crushed us lol

[@hashtagemb]

Sakazuki and law wasn’t that big of a problem tbh, I beat like 4 sakazuki at nats in 05. Same with law, like they win that matchup if they see reiju and blockers, but otherwise it wasn’t that deep

[@Thewing2001]

@@hashtagemb damn maybe i was just a noobie those matchups hurt to play 🤣🤣 i always ran out of steam from their removal

[@grippersrealm]

only really bad into dof, and if doffy gets hit and people tech out of blade/wide removal betty gets a free buff

[@MartinoRosso]

I liked playing belo betty until I discovered this channel and the guy hes collabing with here. For some reason they ick me so hard I can no longer enjoy the deck
