I agree with Zupp on that one, I mean, one panel. Whoop-de-freakin-doo!
The way I see it....it\'s good as long as your opponent doesn\'t have a Grabback or GrabRevenge....or more than one, in their folder.
Duuuuuude....where's my keys?

my deck/folder is based on area stealing chips. even one panl stealing chips are excellent<try to increase your area as much as possible.>
also, who puts grabback and grabrevenge in their folder anyway?

I do :), mostly because all of my friends use Area-stealing chips. It\'s the only way to survive ! In case you don\'t know, I believe Area stealing chips are TOO cheap.
Yeah!!I love to KILL my friend that way:lol::devil::P
They\'re good because your enemies have less room to move around.:muha::lol:
I agree with everyone who says its good.
Area-Stealing chips are awesome, considering you can get a really hard boss trapped and make them stand like a sitting duck in a gilotine (sp?) along with some hungry townspeople. They may be cheap, but you have to admit, they get the job done!
Or, the poster formerly known as Pri- I mean, rockmaniskool.
The original Steal chip in MMBN1 was the best since it\'s effect was permenant, unlike in MMBN2 and 3\'s AreaGrab chip. However, they\'re great chips for things that only effect your opponents area.
Example: Enemy is on the back row, you check your chips and you have three AreaGrabs * and a Meteor3 (insert a code here). You use the AreaGrabs to give the enemy only one square and then activate the Meteor3. It\'s unavoidable for nearly every enemy.

As long as your facing an opponent in a linked battle, they are not cheap.
<considering the amount of area stealing chips in the game[around20%of the standard chips] your linked friend should have some too.:)

Hmm... I agree with Shadow.EXE... But looking at the others, one person stated that one panel is bad. You\'re dead wrong. Want to know a cheap strategy my cheap friend told me? PanlGrab so your opponent\'s area is divided into two. Then lay a RockCube at the rightmost panel. Then right behind it, place a PoisPhar. Now, what do you say to that? Not that bad, eh?

basic strategy:
area grab then use lifesword <400> they almost can\'t escape>unless they are perfect with timing a guard chip.

They are good. I use a grabrvng in myfoldr and used two backs and rvngs again Japanman.

another strategy for stealing area>steal as much as u can> use a darkman after you jack it up as much as u can.

There good but I think Metagel chips are better because they more damage plus if it hits fire styles and you use Metagel3 it will do 240 damage:D:D
Eh, they\'re okay, though I personally don\'t use them much. Being careful not to get off topic, I think that the best of all tactical area steals is the Gel rain PA, which will steal area, kill oponents, and then steal the area they were on. very good for getting a few FlamMan chips.
Yeah I used Gelrain to beat Flamman when I had woodshield.

I like to trap them on 1 panel then use Meteors! Big time damage!:devil::muha::devil::muha:
I cant remember if its in 2 or 3 but when gutsman uses all those areagrabs and backs you up to omly one panel and the swordys but other than that they are good.
