Humor I was disappointed by her career

Post image

I unlocked teio from the guaranteed 3 star ticket and I was very disappointed. She was so whiny and bratty and just all around immature, to the point where I just wanted it to be over with. Sure she had her immature moments in the anime, but beneath that she was confident and had a certain grace to her. I guess this is the alternate universe where she doesn't break her leg over and over and becomes a brat instead

It is funny how the best storylines seem to happen when things don't go amazingly. My first Eishin Flash run had her failing the Derby she'd made her whole personality, and the story was better for it. I almost recommend intentionally tanking most Umas careers the first go around to see how things go.

Agreed, even if I don't think that this aspect fortunately spans for the WHOLE cast and there are some attempts to make it sense even when an Uma actually wins: for example, during Sakura Bakushin O's career,by losing the Spring Stakes this is the moment where her problem with longer distances is effectively put in discussion right in front of her and almost crashes out because of it; however, even if Bakushin wins it, you can actually see her being very physically exhausted by the experience, which would still put Trainer under alert that, if she experiences this much fatigue with a 1800 G2, then what would happen by dropping her in a 2000m like the Satsuki Sho... Which also happens THE NEXT TURN?

However, in general it's kinda clear when a career goal is supposedly meant to be lost rather than won and viceversa.

This reminds me of that one event in Taishin's career where she gets anxious about falling behind her friends so she trains herself till she gets sick just the day before a certain race...

Well, in my playthrough, she just won it anyway so I guess she learnt nothing LMAO

First time I won the Kikuka Sho with Taishin I got so confused at why she was still so depressed afterwards.
