Cancer Cup 2026 (CM15) Report, Part 1: Searching for "The Unicorn XOguri"
Once again, I spent way too much time trying to get decent parents for XOguri, and I ended up starting my Ace runs after the League Selection had already begun. That left me with only four days to train an Ace for Round 1. On my first run, I got this:
She got all the skills I wanted... but she doesn't have Medium S. I tried using her on the first day of Round 1 in the CM because I wasn't happy with the other ones I had, but the problem is that, without the 5% max speed bonus from Medium S, she would hit her max speed while the others with Medium S kept accelerating past it. As a result, she lost a lot of races. That's why Distance S is so important when you actually reach your max speed.
Between Day 1 and Day 2 of Round 1, I got this one:
She's pretty good. She has the same win rate as my overall win rate in Round 1, 65%. The problem is... she doesn't have any late-race skills, and she doesn't have Corner Recovery, which is much better than Preferred Position. The problem with Preferred Position is that it's a positional requirement skill, whereas Corner Recovery is a track requirement skill. So Preferred Position can fail to activate, and then it's GG.
So, I'm still in the mines, trying to get "The Unicorn XOguri": the first XOguri's skill set, the second one's stats, and Medium S. The closest I've gotten is this one. She has the late-race skills, but she doesn't have Corner Recovery:
I'm gonna give her a try on Day 1 of Round 2, but I'm still hunting for the Unicorn.
