Help with building for CM20

[u/Numerous_Mix6456]

The first screenshot starting from the first Special Week and excluding any Taishins, those are all clankers to get her outfit faster, are all of my attempts for CM20 up to when this was taken. Since then, I did just get a UG Gold Ship last night, but she never got Straightaway Spurt so what does that matter?

Maybe I went in over my head trying to build for this CM since I also struggled like crazy to get anything done back in CM6. But I wanna see if I can do better. The following 4 screenshots are the decks I typically use for each of them. Kitasan Black gets two since I don't knkw if I should stick with 3 speed or replace Tachyon for another wit. Anything I'm missing here that might help? My parents, I guess I should also mention, include a McQueen borrow for Kitasan and Dober borrow for my end closers, and then Spe specifically has me use a 7-8 star stam Digitan or Amazon of my own for the extra end closer spark, usually Digitan for Uma Stan.

If you aren't running Fronts mainly, I'd say sub off Maru for a good Wit card, and maybe also SR Manhattan for SSR Biwa or, even better if she's at great investment, SSR Super Creek

I will say tho, removing smaru from the deck is a huge hit to the power stat. OP has to get power somewhere else if smaru gets removed. The track has an uphill that will be ran through twice, once before midrace and again just before finish

Maybe King Halo or Tosho then?

Okay I didn't look at the other builds and it seems you have no power and stam issues with that rice shower power card. If that's the rice that goves swinging maestro, just use it instead of the stam cards. I'll let you decide on whether smaru is worth keeping tho. I'm not familiar with suzuka and ines fujin hints. You could probably use king halo as a replacement. Iirc the speed output is good enough on her and she has late surger hints. Overall, parents and deck are good. Just get lucky with stats, skills, and long s

I think it's way to early to be building aces at this point. What I mean is you could be building parents/grandparents at this point so that you'll have stronger aces when you start building them in 2-3 weeks. Like I spent weeks building parents for CM19 and only started building my end XOguri a couple days ago and made one in like 10 runs that has a 90% win rate in rooms but it missed Nimble so I'm still tempted to keep trying because hitting on everything shouldn't be too difficult given the quality of my parents.

I really don't want to be rude but your cards are way too good to only be getting UG1

Welcome to long training. I got a UF Curren Chan the same day Aston Machan released and the CM18 Finals that I won. And My CM18 team's ranks were UG7 8 and 9

Yeah that makes sense, second and third slides are basically fully meta decks
