No Turf Match this week because of bean to bean brawl.
Super Matsuri has started, don't miss this chance to finally free yourself from the pass.
>>1654558It won't be enough, I am afraid.
>>1655762It never is unless you play daily, however no one should miss this one since is x6.
After enduring the shittiest night on this season I'm finally done.
>>1656864Congrats and welcome to freedom!

Why does it look like a mobile game?
>>1660541Probably because GungHo is a shitty mobile game company that doesn't know how to handle these kinds of action games. Also, it was being developed for the Stadia in addition to the Switch at one point.
>>1660672The stadia remnants poisoned Ninjala, it was doomed to failure when they failed to properly purge it off its curse.
That and Morishita.
Finally free, learning that those finish 1st missions were possible on teams greatly helped.
Also amazing how dead BR is.
>>1661611Dang, nice job finishing so quickly! I was thinking of doing my BR missions during the matsuri this weekend, but I ended up just playing MHGU instead
>>1661619You didn't miss much, a room with more than 4 was quite rare and I refuse to believe that everyone was playing MtMB.
>>1663782Brecc on the thumbnail being an angry bean
>>1663782There's a new character named Master Lady who had her name changed to Mistress Shade by the bad subs. A clutzy blond teacher has also shown up around the same time and they may or may not be the same person. I have no idea because I've just been archiving all the episodes without actually watching them
Anyone up for a bit of Turf?
forgot to press the button, would apreciate if you guys could pick me up again when you're done.
>>1665420The good news is that the match refused to happen.
>>1665397Room for one more? -Ri
Got a Match not found, glad it just stayed at one.
>>1665428Yes, picking you up after this one.
I should probably swap Hyena 1 for NSP 1. Not much point in finding people at low health while riding. Actually now that I think about it, NSP doesn't do anything for Sweet Ride because it negates attack/defense boosts so I could do both if I wanted
Man, WA after Golden March is pretty op.
>>1665443Do you want me to disband to change cards?
>>1665456Well WA with NSP I mean.
well.
it happened again.
forgot to press the button, would appreciate if you could come back to base.
Sorry to cut & run so soon but I gotta finish a few things up before work. Thanks for the games!
>>1665464No problem, GGs and thanks for joining!
>>1665464It was short but it was good, ggs.
>>1665456Wasn't sure, but ended up changing them anyway. Feels like Giant Killer 2 + Berserker 1 might be overkill on the healing, but NSP 3 is useless for Sweet Ride. Maybe it could have some use outside of that though? Gotta see how this feels first
>>1665464Thanks for the games!
>lost due to an infinite dragon shitter who countered anything with utsusemi
Genuinely wish these people would choke on their own drool and die.
Getting a bit late here, so next one is my last one.
Why its always like this, gonna try one more time at least.
>>1665500Thanks for hosting and GGs!
Well that's all from me tonight, thanks for joining!
>>1665507GGs!
Gonna go play Turf for the last 3 hours. Anyone else want to join?
>>1666836I can for a bit, probably not till the end. -G
Good stay in your poison.
>>1666916Didn't work so good for them when I had Beast
I can't help but wonder if you can MoC someone with the returning WA.
>>1666947I think you can, I remember messing around with it in training mode. There's a time limit for the slow one though
I didn't think we would make it.
Again with the poison spam, even when they don't get the boost from losing. Nice comeback there
>that guy who tried to hide on a shark outside the zone and got balloon'd into a skateboard 1-shot
Dude probably didn't even know what hit him
I feel like Trickball is very powerful for a yoyo, granted the mode probably helps.
I wish we had a few more seconds, so that tenshi spammer had died we the rocket.
>>1667013*with the rocket.
Same, they really couldn't do a single thing except press the ninjutsu button.
Any room in the squad? -Ri
Gr, if you're not using Iron Bind on Trick Ball then your strongest combo after a gumbind is NA -> dodge/jump -> NA -> BA since WA ends gumbind early. It's a pain to combo with now that gumbind reverts morph, you basically have to alternate between them. I don't think it needs IB with March once you get used to it though
>>1667064My bad, I messed up the down value when you tried it
Actually now that I think about it if you have AltSP ready NAx2 -> AltSP works. The combo with BA is if you have no other options or if you're using SP
>>1667077Doesn't hurt to know more combos is not like everyone falls for GM, still sometimes I can't help but to WA, I enjoy dunking on my enemies too much.
Extremely lewd hip gyrations
what a shitty match, still glad we won.
Unfortunately that's it for me tonight, GGs! glad we could Turf together.
>>1667097Thanks for the games!
>>1667097Aw, shame you couldn't make the last one.
GGs! it was good!
>>1667099Well i eat those words. We ONF'd.
>>1667099Looks like we have to stop there anyway. GGs all!
GGs! Thanks for the games tonight!
>>1666950Indeed it works, going with a regular attack would be easier though.
>>1668605Diabolical and hilarious
>>1668605Well it's definitely faster, so I think it could have some use. Main problem is killing before the bind ends, but that's not a problem thanks to the NAx2 AltSP combo. I actually tried MoC on Mellow for a while, but it was hard to get use out of because the recalls and WA are the only fast attacks it has. Looks pretty good in Turf though

I finally found a look I liked with this outfit and its nice shade of green, but I don't know what weapon to use it with. Maybe Ogre if they ever nerf it into the ground

I'm surprised that this game is still alive. Do we even know how much money this game makes?
>>1681895Nope, but we do know that it's significantly less than PAD. I'd wager that the game hasn't actually made money in a long time.

>>1684186Rather than not getting a second PAD, it's more like they never came close with all their titles combined even when PAD was on the decline. However, they've still got enough money from PAD and Ragnarok stuff to just fuck around and do whatever at this point which means they can fund an anime and pay Morishita his fat checks but don't actually have any incentive to try and make better games

>>1684710There's a shop sale too
>>1654209 (OP)Is this game still dogshit riddled with Katanas, Slash Kicks, and ninja steroids?
Haven't played in ages.
https://files.catbox.moe/epnjb0.png
>>1685617Long time no see! Yeah, sadly Ninjala is still the same as ever. It's gotten so bad that Battle Royale is totally dead lately and most of us just play on Turf Match days since that mode is still fun. Speaking of which, there's one of those coming up on Saturday if you'd like to try it out again
>>1685617I would argue its worse, since BR is quite dead and Teams usually pairs you with some blues against a full team because fuck you. At least turf still exist, a shame they refuse to give us a full week of it.
Besides that I'm not sure if you're familiar with the last new weapon the Fan, also there's this Fixed green Gacha they implemented previous season, this one gives you something for 100 blue coins.
>>1685631>>1685670So still awful, huh?
Ah, shame.
Yeah, BR was dead the last time I played it, too.
Fucking insufferable.
I think I'll come in for Turf this weekend just cuz I've been having a tiny itch to play lately.
>>1685702Sounds good! It starts at 10:00 PM EST and goes until 1 AM EST on Monday so there's plenty of time. We usually try to have one squad around the first reset and then another near reset the next day, although I usually play for way longer to the detriment of my sleep schedule. They're actually having a BR tournament right when it starts, so whenever we finish I'll probably be using that to work on my tier 100 missions. Would be a good chance for you to try BR again if you wanted too, but I wouldn't recommend that in its current state
/gum/... home. If my home was a compartment on a runaway train with Morishita as the conductor while Kaneda desperately shouts at him over the comms to change tracks every single day, anyway. I hope everyone has been doing well.
>>1686416Welcome back! Things have been pretty uneventful outside of the Turf squads. I assume everyone's just been playing other games in-between those lately. For me, it's MHGU. Hope you've been doing well too, anon.
I'm still keeping my eye on the place almost everyday. You /gum/mies are still my comrades in ninja arms, even when the game is pretty much in a very sad state. Hopefully I'll be free to jump in for the next Turf Match session, if I don't get distracted for so long that I forget entirely. Again.

Speaking of not much to say lately, here are all the new items for this season and an updated datamine folder, both of which I found elsewhere. There's almost nothing that we don't already know about this season, but maybe the models will be useful to someone.

Didn't press the button so it seems. Works out for me since i wanted to make a build and outfit rq. Would appreciate if you guys picked me up after you're done.
Done with the tournament, I don't think I can ever enjoy BR anymore.

>>1701962Glad to be of service. There's also a matsuri going on right now, but I've been trying to get BR matches for tier 100 for 3 hours with no luck so I guess that's not enough to get people playing these days
>>1702001It took four and a half hours to get a single game of Battle Royale.
>>1702530Holy shit, that bad? I usually get two or three "opponent not found" but the next one tends to at least have 4 people.
>>1702785Yeah, it was pretty awful. I had to try both free and ranked, and ranked eventually had some people in it at the very end. Luckily they kept playing and I was able to get 30 IPPONs in 4 games because Corn Bat is a fair and balanced weapon.
>>1702530Congrants!
I think most people just moved to teams, after all a full room is too chaotic and tiresome.
>>1704641Thanks, and yeah no doubt. Battle Royale is just a game about stealing points from people these days so it can be pretty miserable even if there aren't that many people. That's why I went with Corn, it's very good at doing this. In fact, playing this way to get tier 100 missions done makes me part of the problem. I wouldn't want to deal with this either
https://streamable.com/p1qm1w
https://streamable.com/612vo3
https://streamable.com/hd8c8j
https://streamable.com/mmzcn6
Watching full matches like that really highlights just how bad Battle Royale's respawns are. Went to Team Battle for the rest of the missions and getting matches there was way faster, although the teams were rarely balanced. Corn is very good at stealing from teammates too. That first match with the 8x finishing combo came down to the wire and I'm grateful to the person at the end for being in the right place at the right time. Had a rough start so I didn't think I'd make it. 8 IPPONs was just a victory lap as always though

>>1705100I sure loved the site being unusable for a day
Ninjala isn't on the list of incompatible games for Switch 2, so I guess at the very least we can continue playing it on there even if there's no Ninjala 2 yet.
The switch 2 is at least 10 times more powerful than the switch 1, will they make Ninjala 2?
>>1707894I sure hope so. No reason to keep the anime going if they didn't have future plans for the series
>>1707913I think the fact that the anime has gone on for over 100 episode proves that they already have whatever reason they need to keep it going
>>1707928The reason is probably just that Morishita wants it. Not like the anime itself is any good. Nobody even talks about it here outside of like one or two people on /a/.
>>1701302Speaking of which, sadly it does not. It just says geijutsu over and over like some sort of pokemon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-ncnhTnACM
>>1708002Even though I don't watch it, I'm glad it exists. The persistance of these silly neenjas is cute and funny to me. Thank you to whoever keeps an archive of these episodes.
>>1708028I can hear this webm.
>>1708028That'd be me, but I haven't uploaded any of them in a while since I'd need to make another MEGA account for it. Still have them all saved to do it later, but it didn't seem like there was much interest, Should probably see about getting that final manga volume at some point too. Speaking of which, someone just dropped a translation for the second chapter
https://mangadex.org/chapter/a0a32e4a-09ee-4142-9671-963304f5f802
>>1708037I cannot...
this webm comes from an early Ninjala stream, before the first Vocaloid collab. This Brecc was randomly included in the corner of the stream, and it wasn't until the later collab that we learned it supposed to be paired with music.
I think it's funnier that she was dancing without sound or explanation. The devs just really liked Berecca I guess.
>>1708039As long as they are safe on your harddrive, o great keeper of sacred neenja media...
>>1708044She is the game's mascot technically speaking.
>>1709038Remember that visual gag where a ninja scroll landed in her hair roll?
>>1708037Those were good times
Boy, I sure am glad you can fish 1-handed in this game. Because it's reel-y boring. May have gone a bit overboard for the funny Sinensian reference, but hopefully this is big enough to stay afloat in the rankings.
>>1719598Thanks! It looks like I'm still in top 50 on the last day, so this is likely good enough for top 100.
>>1708002People don't talk about it here because it'd extremely niche and mostly unknown to the wider site. Also the number of people who paly the game (especially here) and also watch the anime is probably much smaller than you think.
I'd likewise point out that people talking about it a lot on 4chan =/= a measure of quality. The exact opposite is usually true, actually.
>>1722327Oh don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that people not talking about it here meant it was low quality. I know it's not great from watching it myself. It's just that people also don't talk about it much, both here and in other places like twitter. I've looked all over the place and very few people seem to care about it. It's a bit more popular on the Japanese side, but not much. Honestly, playing the game probably made me enjoy the anime less because they're just kind of making shit up that conflicts with existing lore. Like, they still aren't even using real gum shoots after 161 episodes despite talking about them in the omake segments. As for the story and characters, I don't think even GungHo knows what to do with them anymore.
I guess we're back to the usual amount of dead. I liked the other site more.
The return of home, still a bit barren but that's Gungho's fault.
>>1723465Wait, you guys went to the other site? I didn't find any thread...
>>1723797There's a small thread on 8moe /v/. Didn't know if anyone else was going to find it considering how dead we are, so /v/ seemed like a safer bet than /vg/ since there was a chance that it would die peacefully sometime this decade if things didn't work out. Also seemed like they didn't know whether they wanted generals on /vg/ or /vgg/ for a while.
Glad the site is back and before the Season ended even.
Also thanks for the Turf Ma and my bad on not understanding the message.
>>1724938No prob, I'm just glad we've got somewhere else to go in case this place dies again. Wouldn't mind moving there permanently since they brought this place back without actually fixing anything and I've heard about some weirdness which implies the attackers still have the keys to the castle, but it seems that not everyone can access the other place easily so that's a no-go I guess. Either way, GGs last week! I was really glad that we were able to get some Turf in despite everything.
Team tournament tonight.
Don't forget about your monthly CBT and some free Jala.
>>1725254I'm gonna skip it, enjoying other games while I wait for the new season. Good luck to anyone entering
Season's almost over, any news regarding the next one?
>>1728449Just the usual. Maintenance was announced and that's all we've got.

>no more season themes
>buff underused specials instead of nerfing the overused ones ruining the game
>all the buffs are braindead nothing changes
It might have been better if they didn't update at all. None of these needed buffs except Bolt Slash and the change to Froggy Block isn't going to do shit. I'm glad the Overpowering Wave change isn't big because holy fuck how could anyone possibly think one of the strongest Specials in the game needed a cooltime buff? But surely that 10 more damage on Power Buster and max power Froggy Block will save Ninjala.
Also, apparently they forgot that you can cancel Power Buster early and it now gets back like 80%-90% of it cooltime if you do so. Seems extremely broken since you can use that armor for pretty much anything at this point.
>>1731065https://x.com/hitode_BJ12/status/1917875339252121905
Comparison of the changes before and after, although it's missing the cancelled Power Buster. It's only like a second or so to get it back if you cancel it
>The new pass doesn't give new music but one from the shop.
It's over...
>>1731335It's from story mode, but I don't think it was in the shop before this. It was just unreleased up until now. Still lazy though
They finally cave in and made Marie outfit blue Gacha.
>>1731065>Daily turf weekThey sure took their time for it.
>>1731065>max power Froggy BlockMy mistake, it went from 60 to 70 base damage before any kills. It goes up to 100 damage instead of 90 at max kills now, which is pretty good. It still has a useless directional input and doesn't work well in combos anymore though.
nobody reuploading the anime here anymore?

>>1734162Nice job there, those opponents were pretty annoying. Also, that new outfit looks good on her!
>>1734163Thank you! It might be her main outfit now since it's not changing up too much while being fresh and new.
Somehow I'm not surprised.
Frog is feeling pretty good with the lower cooltime. Might actually be able to live without MoC on it. Feels like a bit of a waste to not have either that or Giant Killer when it's an unblockable attack that does up to 100 damage though
>dango emote
What a coincidence, I was going to play some monhun Rise between matches
>>1734178Niceeee. If I really felt like it, I could probably do the same with Wilds' Springtide event but that feels like a terrible idea.
>>1734182I'm waiting on Wilds until they smooth out some of its issues myself, just recently picked up Rise to play through it again on steam deck since it was on sale and it's been way more fun the second time
Also, katanas are a plague.

>>1735754Our team was actively working against us and the katana was cheating our their ass. Dipshits attacked them when they were at 1 HP 1 frame before my break connected and that lost us the zone.

Another cheating katana for the block list. Disgusting. Also, long time no see Gu and hi C

>>1735768I was gonna say, the new bean looks great! Nice to C you again
I bet it was same guy who disconnected as last match
>Its over.
But I don't want it to end...
Thanks for the squad! also glad you joined C.
>>1735850GGs, we even got the fabled one last game.
>>1735850>>1735851Me neither, it really goes by too fast. Thanks for the games, it was fun! Glad you could join us C, and it was nice to run into Gu again even if they didn't feel like squadding
New contest for jala and a Gumchi shirt
https://x.com/playninjala/status/1919437972375544099
What a surprise, GG glad the game put us in the same team.
I found a very Ninjala like Iono, dunno if that was the artist intention but still cute.
>>1742926Very cute gremlin, she's definitely got that energy! I think that is just the artist's style though

Shop has the vanana outfit
Does anyone have a link to all of the announcer voice lines, and not just the ippon calls, stuff like the THIS ONE'S GOOD and stuff like that? I don't wanna have to manually record the audio myself..
>>1748997Are they not in here?
>>1731008I think it got updated recently. What did you need them for, anyway?
>>1749035Oh boy...It's definitely in here, I just have to go through every other SFX in the game first...
>what did you need them forThis is silly but I'm making a mod for another game and wanted to have the announcer voice lines for when I get a kill or when I die, I don't play Ninjala much anymore but I'll always love it and this is how I'll carry it with me moving on!
>>1749080Yeah, I don't think there is a more organized version. We're lucky to even have something like this after all. In any case, that sounds like a fun idea! I wish you luck with this endeavor
>>1749080>player gets rektTHIS IS GOOD
>player buys somethingKARATE MANGA
>>1749080Update I'm still going through this by scrolling down in my off time
>get through all the character voice lines>surely the announcer is ne->next up is the stage sound effects>then the single player enemy sfx>then the ippon animation SFX>am now getting to the sound effects for every emoteANNOUNCER-SAN WHERE ARE YOU.....
>>1750382They've got different sound effects for each emote depending on outfit too, so you might be going through it for a while. There's no guarantee that all the announcer lines are together in one place either
>>1750386Surely you mean like the footsteps and stuff, right? I already passed those a while ago too..
Man, I always knew Ninjala sound design was good but I never would've thought about the sheer volume of SFX that go into a video game.
>>1750389Clapping and butt-patting too
Pass Matsuri just started. Daily Last Ninja Standing next week and solo tournament on the 24th as well
>>1751696Anyone up for some Turf? Don't forget to reroll your missions for the matsuri first
Lots of sharks on this team.
>>1755949Any room for one more? I got a few matches in me -Ri
Backed out to reroll. Did you need any more rerolls after this?
>>1730971WHERE THE FUCK IS THE NEW HAIRCUT?!
>ended with the guy spamming rockets getting caught in his own explosion and dying to mixerlol
>>1756006Very last week of the season, please understand.
>Dragon spammer
Just our luck.
>>17560331-shot dragon too. What a scumbag.
that's all for me, thanks for the games!
>>1756045GGs!, glad you could join.
>>1756045Thanks for playing!
I can't believe that it worked.
>>1756080Yeah, did you want to join?
I'm gonna leave if it's fails again, test out if it works fine with a squad of 3.
-G
>>1756094I'm probably screwing up the matching again... sorry
>>1756094Alright. We could split i to squads of 2, but then we have a chance of running into each other.
>>1756095Not your fault, it's GungHo's sheer incompetence
>>1756095Is fine, is not like am far from my stopping time, regardless there's still tomorrow go ahead and enjoy IF the games wants that's it.
On a "fun" note seems like even though I left the party the Matching in progress still triggered.
>>1756097Did it work? or is the game still being a bitch?
>>1756104It's still broken. I'll try leaving this time.
Dammit gunkhoe
Even alone I can't get opponents in turf.
>>1756110Our matchmaking was taking a while before you joined too, honestly. I don't know how they managed to make it this bad. Guess we can try again tomorrow. I'll still be playing for a bit if anyone wants to join
>>1756112Now I finally got in the dojo at least. Still at 1/4 each team.
>>1756116>can't find matches together >we end up on the same team anywayThis is truly GungHo quality
>>1756121And now we're on opposite sides lel
GODDAMN FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT MATCHMAKING CODE
>>1756129GungHo needs to be studied. We did finally just get a match though
>>1756136Yeah, I did too. But it was against total randoms.
>>1756136Is the squad still going? if so I can still play few matches tonight
-G
>>1756142Yep, invite sent
>spam tenshi so much they somehow evade echoing scream.
Of course they do.
Last match for me tonight, GGs and thanks for the squad!
>>1756182Thanks for the squads! Ko, if you wanted to keep trying I'll probably be at it for a while longer
>>1756188Alright, let's try it.
Finally got to a lobby at least
>>1756205It was something lol
Last 3 dailies cleared in one shot, nice.
They were trying for peace, but when it's this hard to get a match that is not an option
>>1756215Si vis pacem, para bellum lol
Welp, that's it for now
Man, the matching is really fucked today.
>>1756232Ah well, at least we got one in. Thanks for the game!
Long time no see, Kr! It's Ma, on my friend's account for dailies
Gonna start doing Turf again, so if anyone's interested in squading then feel free to join
>>1757696I'm up for some turf if you're still going
-G
>>1758156Yep, invite sent
>>1758156Oh right, don't forget to reroll missions
I'm done with re-rolling btw.
>>1758200Gotcha, same here
>>1758220That was a close one! Heh.
>random teammate refuses to sit in the zone
>sits on the platform above it all match fishing for MoC kills
Ninjala randoms are some of the dumbest people I've ever met in my life. GG though, it was close
I think I went too extreme on them this round.
>Covering your Mixer with froggy block.
That's impressive Ma.
>>1758265Thanks, there's a lot of stuff you can do with Chewing V's kit. Frog into Wall Shooter Iron Bind explosion works well with Mixer too
>random 760 points
How did he even manage that? Sorry ko, bad luck there. Good fights though
So no-go, still great night thanks for the squad.
>>1758310GGs, it was fun!
I went from 70% success rate in parrying system in the early days of ninjala to 20% success now. Is there a recent glitch in the parrying system that people abuse now?
>>1760515What do you mean by success? It's rock-paper-scissors so the outcome is random. That said, yes there is a bug with it. If you try to escape the parry but you can't because of Two-Edged Parry or because you already used your dash then the game automatically picks up as your direction for the parry attack. That means the left/right parry attacks have a distinct advantage, especially if you use Two-Edged Parry. There's also the fact that if you attack and the other person tries to escape then you get energy back which lets you keep s-bursting which makes it impossible to kill anyone after a parry unless you gumbind them. That's not a glitch though, that's just a GungHo quality design decision.
>>1760515Aside for your target managing to dodge or downright BA teleporting after you win a parry, its all luck based on both parties choices, while there some bugs with it there are none for an assured victory.
Daily Last Ninja Standing is on. Enjoy every match ending via instant win button or thievery while you can because you sure don't get that in almost every other mode
>>1764260GG Gr, sorry for the Mixer. Not many other chances to use it in that mode. I give up on testing things here. Been trying to see if a combo works in Team Battle and my brain started shutting down near the end because there is so little player to player interaction in TB. Sadly LNS usually isn't much better
>>1764297It's fine, I was a dead man the moment Disco got me anyway.
Unfortunately TB has become an abomination in its own way, it would probably take you a week or more to get a "decent" match is one of the reason I decided to try LNS for dailies this week. The sad thing about LNS is that it was supposed to be a mode for a quick brawl and quick rematch, but at best you get some good action at the start and then sadly everyone become a shy wallflower on the latter half, I wonder if reducing the time of the match would help.
>>1764366Yeah, I can't say I got a single good match in TB. Did manage to test the combo I had in mind twice at least, but only twice over the course of an entire evening is pretty bad. At least 80% of my matches had my team at a disadvantage too, it was awful. And if we were at a disadvantage the rest of my team was just dogpiling the other team and making it impossible to get decent fights. Genuinely disgusting mode, especially with all the cheaters. As for LNS, it definitely needs some work. Turning off ninjutsu would probably vastly improve it, but then they need countermeasures in place to prevent interruptions like melee erasing projectiles. Feels like most of the modes have the same issues, honestly. It's just that modes which are otherwise good tend to suffer from 1 or 2 stupid design decisions that drag things down. Like even if you got rid of ninjutsu in LNS, there are plenty of other instant win buttons that ruin fights there when it comes down to two people. There are too many things which need fixing to count these days
Holy fucking shit I hate dragon spamming faggots so much.
Just was in a 2v2 teams and they used dragons every fucking time aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
How fast does that fucking ninjutsu charge up, anyway?
>>176448275 seconds by default, while most ninjutsu charge in 100 seconds. However, attacks also charge ninjutsu and Corn's Back Attack charges 4 more seconds every time they hit something with it. Then there's the cheat drugs from Lab which make it even faster. Thing is a menace.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Necro_0KjIkxrR6p9DzxoY8jN_nutHSuzhufAtqOlaI
This has all the weapon data we've got, for future reference. It is machine-translated though
>>1764500Hmm. There's also the double-S-orb ninjutsu charge bonus, which can really help charge it fast in maps like notLondon and notEgypt. But this was in notFrance, there aren't that many s-orbs there so they probably jacked up on green goo.
>>1764482I think the around 30-40 after a match started was the fastest time I saw someone launching a Dragon, is amazing how hard Lab broke the damn thing.
>>1764508Actually there are tons of s-orbs in croissant, it's just that they're all in the big open green areas
P2W tournament is on if you're desperate for jala
>>1764393The combo in question that I was trying to test out. I got it to work twice, but pretty much every other attempt was the person I was using it on bursting right after the BA and getting broken, one of my/their teammates interrupting me, or me messing up the combo because I didn't hold on to my dodge or because I lost too many brain cells playing TB. Need to try it out more in Turf Match next week to make sure it's reliable.
The idea is basically this: Frog spawns weird after attacks because GungHo fucked with it at some point, but it doesn't spawn weird after dodges or jumps. So catch the opponent, then cancel the attack with a dodge or jump before immediately using Wide Frog to spawn the block behind them and catch their launch. This puts them into Hyena HP range and allows Launcher to bind.
I know it doesn't work after BA because the angle on the launch is weird, but it seems pretty solid after Break and you can do Break after either NA or BA and still have it work. Might be a way to make it work for WA too, but you'd need another direction on the Frog I think. If the opponent is heading toward a wall, you'd want Back Frog for that since the Wide Frog can spawn inside the wall and do nothing.
This is not really ideal since holding on to your dodge is tough to do and requires that you mainly approach with cancelled homing dashes from BA/Break and having two jumps for it would require you to be grounded after the attack lands. It would be a lot better if GungHo just fixed the spawning, but I guess that's too much to ask these days.
>>1775352Looks nice, I do wonder if Lab gum resistance can put a damper on it though. Turf can't really come soon enough.
>>1777184Surprisingly, I haven't seen Hyena large launcher fail that often. It can though, in which case it might be worth trying something like this instead.
https://streamable.com/371ws7
This one I only got to try in training mode, and I know there's a gap like every other Utsusemi combo on this weapon, but it worked more often than I expected. Might be something new to go for instead of the usual Back Frog -> WA -> Utsusemi combo
I didn't expect running into you Ko, GG
>>1779181The ways of gungho matchmaking are truly mysterious, lol
What exactly does ironbind do? Does it connect easier to the target? I see a lot of people with that card.
>>1764393>Genuinely disgusting mode, especially with all the cheaters.Am struggling too with shitty TBs. How do these people cheat exactly?
>>1779411Iron Bind basically makes it so your attacks don't launch the target and end gumbind early as well as making it so they don't gain down value when you attack them while bound. Down value is the combo limiting system which makes opponents fly away with invulnerability if you hit them with two Break Attacks (just as an example). Down value is normally reset upon gumbind anyway so that part doesn't matter too much. Essentially though, it means you can keep spamming strong moves against them without worrying about ending the gumbind early.
Like say you have someone gumbound as a Shinobuzz Paper Fan. Laser's bind is short so you can't do your full combo. Iron Bind would let you spam Wide Attacks instead of the full 4-hit Normal/Back Attack combo to get more damage off before the gumbind ends. For weapons like Scrap Saver and Chewing V, they usually cannot combo after a gumbind unless they use it because all of their attacks launch opponents. There's also some utility for gum shoot -> guard break setups since normally if the opponent gets gumbound by the gum shoot then your Break would free them immediately whereas with Iron Bind it wouldn't
As for why so many people use it, I believe it's just because it means they don't have to think about combos. The downside to Iron Bind is increased gum shoot cooltime, which is very debilitating for some weapons and can't be counteracted easily. If you don't need Iron Bind, it's better not to take it. For most weapons it doesn't actually let you kill much faster than comboing normally, assuming you know how to combo. It's just that most players don't know how to combo
>>1779418The Research Lab is a P2W system that gives you huge stat boosts compared to players who haven't paid as much money as you. It's too much of a grind for anyone to have fully completed without paying and is a major part of what led to the downfall of this game. Even with paying, I'm not sure it's possible to complete it. Literally paid cheat codes.
>>1779418Cheating may be a stronger word, to be more accurate I would say is mechanic abuse, due to how POORLY balanced the weapons and the games modes are and then there's the god damn Lab.
>>1779460>don't know how to comboYes, that's me. Iron Bind -> Side attack green whirl goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
>>1779695If you're using Fans, you don't need Iron Bind for that. Just use Wide Attack (with optional Break followup) before the gumbind ends to stop the opponent from escaping like in the clip below. If you have Tornado Shot then I believe you can also follow that up with the down input version of that Special and then use the enhanced Break, but it's not a true combo.
https://streamable.com/6ml6nc
If you have Wind Caller then the combos you can do get a lot more complex, like the unburstable position-dependent combo with tight inputs shown in this webm. The same basic concept of using a launching move to end the gumbind early and prevent escape still applies once you get the gumbind though. If you don't, the opponent can move freely like you can see the second person doing in the linked clip. Luckily Wide Attack caught him anyway, but it would have been better to end the gumbind earlier if possible. Not being able to do that is another downside of Iron Bind, which personally I thought was plenty back before it got the gum shoot cooltime nerf. Makes it easier for people to steal your IPPONs too
>>1779632You say that, but a lot of the things Lab gives people are things you can report them for. More damage than they should be doing, attacks having no effect, abnormally frequent use of special moves, etc. By GungHo's own definition, it's officially-sanctioned paid cheating. The poor weapon balance falls into that too when it comes to instant win buttons like Variable Stance and Surfing Cannon which literally have no counterplay.
But yeah either way it's GungHo's fault. There's no excuse for implementing stupid shit like the ninjutsu comeback mechanic in Turf or leaving weapons in this broken state for years even when people constantly leave feedback about them and when they can easily see the usage/win rates themselves. It's sheer greed and incompetence on their part.
>captcha: AHHH4Me too
>>1779730I see... Thanks for the tips. I'll try changing cards around, then.
>>1780281No prob. Feel free to ask about whatever, whenever
>>1780287I totally forgot about the gum cooldown nerf lol
>>1779730>incompetenceWhoever is responsible for the ninjala battle system is a clueless moron. They take cues from the Street Fighter V win/lose statistics system, but they have no idea how startup /active/recovery frames work. Hence the weapons are so broken. Whoever spams the lamest crap first, wins. And since they ruined the attack boxes you can't win 1 vs 2 anymore. I dont think i will waste time on their next live service game.
>>1780519I think they had some competent people working on it early on since the balance wasn't too bad back in the early days. Like Arakawa, the Dissidia director was the original director for the game back before release and Soleil was probably helping with battle stuff back when things were actually improving each season. It's just that none of those people are working on it anymore and it's a phone game company so nobody else knows how to handle action games. I'd be surprised if they have more than modelers/artists and an intern handling seasonal "balance" patches still working on the project at this point.
As for their next game, that's supposedly Let It Die 3. They made Deathverse for 2 and that died immediately due to having no appeal for anyone, then they took it offline to fix it and ended up just making a third game. That's Grasshopper though, which is a different team than the Ninjala guys. Problem is, they still have to answer to Morishita and he'll probably run it into the ground just like he did for Ninjala. I don't have particularly high hopes for that one either. GungHo doesn't actually have any pressure to make good games thanks to their PAD and RO bux after all
>>1781452Deathverse was fun for the time I spent with it(I played in the tests), but it was a good bit jank. It also probably should have been crossplay. As a Let It Die player (though I stopped a bit after the Travis (NMH) gear event happened, I wish they just added some kind of co-op or just made LID2 honestly. I don't have high hopes for another game. Abusing the shit out of mushrooms really just lead to me stopping in the last 'main game' area. Shit isn't fun to me let alone my luck in grinding shrooms is horrible
>>1781577Honestly Deathverse didn't seem that bad in terms of gameplay, it's just like you said; LID fans would have rather had an actual LID2 and people who just wanted an action game probably wouldn't have been into the art direction or the game constantly talking shit to you every match. Then there's the monetization, which was not ideal in the first game either from what I remember. I could never get into the first game after learning about the grind and how you could use real money to skip it, so there's no way I could get into an even less appealing game that pushed you to do that
>>1781723Like I said (in my opinion), the game was fun until it became grind a fuck ton with rng affecting how long it takes or abuse the fuck out of mushrooms. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if they didn't nerf the abused mushroom spawns with ones that are shittier versions around the time I got high enough for that to be a factor. I was taking my time enjoying the game actually
>>1781452>the balance wasn't too bad back in the early daysThats exactly my observation as well. First three seasons or so were fine. Till the GungHo morons started to tinker with hitboxes. Often it felt they were buffing the overpowered weapons even further. And nerfing the weaker ones.
Various issues with Ninjala on Switch 2 apparently

>The game may force close during the Story: Tale for Ninjala Beginners
>Voice chat is not available
>On Nintendo Switch™ 2 the Ninjala Nintendo eShop is currently unavailable in the following countries/regions:
>Japan
>Hong Kong
>South Korea
>If you are in one of these regions, please use Nintendo Switch™ to access the shop.
I'd be surprised if that's all of them considering getting the cash shop working would be a top priority for any other company. Did they only find out about this after they sent the last remaining intern working on the game out to buy it on release day rather than getting dev kits to make sure it worked ahead of time?
>>1783473Huh. I wonder what's so special about that story part.
>>1783592Assuming GungHo even had dev kits, they probably just forgot to test it. I kind of doubt they tested anything though since the shop not working in the game's home region would be the first thing a competent dev would fix. If it wasn't incompetence and they didn't have dev kits, that'd mean the Ninjala 2 on Switch 2 dream is dead. At the very least, it sounds like people are saying Ninjala runs a lot better on the Switch 2
Seems like Frog -> jump back onto wall -> Wall Shooter Launcher works pretty well. Only issue is that there is a gap, but they're usually too far away to teleport. So you need to be low enough on the wall that the frog reaches, but far enough that they can catch you with an instant win button during the gap.
>>1788319*can't catch you
Also, peak GungHo matchmaking
Man, they way you ipponed that one mid-air with the frog was hilarious.
Also, forgot to press A sorry.
>>1788342It is good for that when it works! Coming back for you now
Just need a minute, sorry
Hey ko, looks like GungHo decided to let us play together today
>>1788384Finally! Going to the lobby now.
>it worked
Honestly wasn't sure it would for a while there
>>1788410That's just the matchmaking failing and then trying again
FFS, that room was full... stupid matchmaking aaaaaaaaaaaa
GungHo saw us having fun and now it won't work anymore
Ayyy that was a pretty good one
>>1788417One more shot. If it fails again I'll step aside
>>1788428I'm glad it worked, nothing greater than landing a rocket from their blind side.
>>1788433You can stay if you want, I'm on my usual stopping time.
>>1788433Dang, I was hoping we could get in at least one more. Oh well, thanks for the games! Was fun. Maybe whenever I upgrade to a Switch 2, that'll make the matchmaking more lenient. Better internet seems to let it work more often and that does have a better wifi adapter. Or maybe I could try actually using wifi instead of this jank MoCA setup since that's faster sometimes
Oh well, still this is my last match for tonight AND yes I'll wait for it matchmaking be damned
And that's it for today, thanks for the squad!
>>1788442GGs, thanks for playing!
Anyone up for some more Turf? Was going to hop on and keep playing until it's gone in about 3.5 hours
>>1790315That one guy was just sitting in our zone spamming poison all game after farming drones with drone hustle earlier. Don't know what his problem is but he does that every game and I guess katana plus Lab is enough to carry most of them
Some dire matchmaking tonight
>>1790322Sadly it's usually like this every Sunday.
>>1790326Can't believe nobody wants to play such a popular and well-balanced game past midght on a Sunday
Surely GungHo will let us get at least one more match before the end
>Iai thinks he can fling me from bellow
Think again fag.
>>1790365I don't care how dead the game is, I still wish people like that would fuck off forever.
>>1790367To clarify, I say this because he was using VS and being a cunt. Fling is stupid too, but that would be a bit harsh
>>1790380Oh I know, I fought him for a bit and since he couldn't pulls his BS with me he decided to try that a couple of times.
Fancy seeing you here Ko, good fights
>>1790396An attempt was made lol
Now we got paired again, nice!
Aight, that'll be all for me today.
That one was lopsided to say the least lol
>>1790405Yeah I almost felt bad for them, thanks for the squad!
scratch that, let's give it one more shot
>>1790405Thanks for the games! And yeah, a lot of these matches have been pretty 1-sided lately. Guess it's either that or more win button spam
>>1790409Got my dailies done easily, so I'm not complaining
Before we crossed paths I got rekt 20-04 and couldn't get any missions done...
>Tries to escape Ninjutsu by diving underground.
Lmao
>>1790410I'm glad we could squad and help out then! Dunno if we're going to find another match before it ends though
>>1790416Normally I would not feel good about a Dragon kill. However, against a team of drugged out Drills plus a Slash spamming ninjutsu I'd say it was deserved.
Oh well, at least we got one match, again thanks for the squad
Yep, looks like that's it. GGs all!
GGs everyone, that was fun. Finally, a lack of constant "opponent not found" crap.

>>1815834>>1817138I want to play wilds on my deck, but I don't even have the energy or actual interest into it. The bird mount looks fun to fuck around.
>>1818000I don't think it's gonna run on a deck, it barely runs on high-end PCs. The bird is also a total downgrade from the dogs in Rise, which does run perfectly on a deck. The map design's completely built around the bird and it forces you to use it to keep up with the monster or cross some areas, but you may as well just set it to autorun most of the time because the maps are too big, you can't speed it up with drifting like the dog. and the mounted combat is pretty ineffective. Meanwhile, I've been doing a Rise playthrough without even using the dog and I can still get around pretty fast with wirebugs alone. Made me appreciate Rise's maps a lot more
The endtimes are upon us. Also the game runs great on Switch 2, especially when it comes to loading models and taking clips without stuttering or freezing. Some comparisons here.
https://x.com/HammerBubblegum/status/1936997828150149502
>>1824028Seems like making everything nice and smooth is a running theme of Switch 2 since the sticks also feel smooth just like the screenshots and clips do now..Even my ninja seems smoother than usual. I did notice some bad lag today which may have been a result of fighting people who are still on Switch 1, but it could have just been my internet or the servers or bad luck so I don't know for sure on that one. Some matches were totally fine
>>1824031Cool, still not buying a shitch 2 though unless some fusée-gelée tier exploit appears lol
>>1824072Understandable, I wouldn't actually recommend buying it either. It feels like a solid piece of hardware compared to the Switch, but there are no games and it's very overpriced. I mainly got it because my old Switch felt like it was dying when I tried to play the funny ninja game and because it'd be nice to play some older games in handheld mode without worrying about stick drift or my shitty tablet snapping in half for a while
>>1824078>driftYeah... since they reused the same crap resistive strips, you're not safe from that sadly.
It also has worse battery life and needs special snowflake SD cards. A big meh, really.
>>1824152Well, if I remember right they're using the same stick box as every other official controller these days rather than the worse version that the old joycons got. It's not ideal, but it should last longer. Since they opted to replace drifting joycons for free instead of just using hall effect sticks, I think they probably couldn't go with hall effect due to the magnetic joycon connectors
>>1824078I could use some hardware upgrade and a controller replacement a shame they are like 40% more expensive here.
>>1824682One thing I'll give it is that the procon 2 feels great and I would have just bought that for Switch 1 if I could have. Really wish they used hall effect for that one though, they didn't have any excuse with the magnets there. Sadly doubt the price is dropping any time soon
So the game works on the switch 2? Asking for a friend(me)
>>1825173Yep, they fixed the issues and put it back on the eShop. It runs great, the difference in load times is really noticeable. Doesn't look too different when you're actually playing though, aside from not stuttering anymore. Will need to keep an eye out for that lag issue during Turf this weekend since the connections definitely felt laggier when I was playing Man-to-Man Brawl yesterday; but again, that could have been due to a variety of other things.
>>1824503>replace for freeThat's only for you burgers. Pretty much everyone else is fucked. And they also make you renounce to your right to sue since they got reamed back with the joycon1 models. Fuck Nintendo.
>>1825248Didn't know that, guess they were just being cheap then.
>Fuck Nintendo.Agreed.
Happy 5th anniversary of Ninjala, /gum/.
>>1826001I wouldn't say it's exactly happy with how the game is now but I'm still glad I met all of you and thankful for the matches we've played together, win or lose.
>>1826075Yeah, I'm happy I met you guys too. Glad we can still get some enjoyment out of this game despite everything.
>webmMan, I miss that anniversary base. Come to think of it, I guess that animation might be why they're giving us a crown for the battle bonus this time
I WILL NEVER FORGIVE JUNGHO FOR REMOVING THE "KILLS DONE BY ULTIMATES COUNT FOR BIG WEAPON MISSIONS AS LONG YOU HAVE BIG WEAPON"!!! FUCK THEM!
I really wish this game future wasn't so bleak.
>>1830564Congrats on finishing at least. Given the description of those medals, I'm not sure it has a future at all
Gonna be a bit late for Turf tonight if anyone was interested in it -Ma
>>1830899I do, let me know when you're available.
Also can start a now squad if anyone else is interested
>>1830899I could squeeze in a few rounds
>>1830937Not Ma, but I'll be hosting in the meanwhile.
>>1830941I'm gonna take care of a few things and then I'll join you
>>1830925>>1830937Sorry for the wait, ready to go now -Ma
Hey Ma, gonna eat something now so you can invite others instead. -ko
>>1830961Alright, sounds good. Just let me know when you want in them
>>1830965Done, now I'm ready.
>>1830971Currently 4/4, I'll let you know when a spot opens up
>>1830981I'll be wrapping up after this match so ko can take my spot -R(B now lol)
>>1830985Thanks for the games!
>>1830985GGs, glad you could join.
>got a match immediately
The switch 2 with wifi plan might actually be working
My bad on that, got too obsessives about taking only B, of course the ninjutsu spam clearly didn't help.
>>1831014No, I can still go on.
>>1831019Can't be helped, our teammate was useless. Was basically a 3v4 with the other side spamming poison and ghost.
One mission left, I can go for one more.
>>1831041Should I pick you up after this then?
Alright, now I'm done,
That was great, thanks!
>>1831072GGs, thanks for playing! I think the switch 2 hosting might have finally lifted that matchmaking curse that GungHo puts on you when we try to squad. If that was actually what did it, then I'm glad I got this thing.
>>1831076Hmm... I seriously doubt the netcode would've changed that much in the sw2 build.
Then again, Ninty's systems and online always work like shit, so who knows...
>>1831080Don't forget the switch has been out for 8 years, some level of improvement is to be expected.
>>1831080I don't think the netcode changed at all, they should be using the same build. But GungHo's weird matchmking algorithm seems to work better if the people you're playing with have good internet, so maybe having a better-performing console helps too. That, or my wifi is just more stable than my wired connection and the switch 2 has a better wifi adapter.
Last one for me tonight, thanks for the squad!
Anyone up for more Turf before it goes away? There's also the anniversary tournament right afterward, just as a reminder
>>1832101A bit late, but can I join for what's left? -G
>>1832101is the tournament battle royale or teams
>>1832220Sorry, didn't see it in time
>>1832236BR
>>1832242Figures, next time then.
Tournament sucked, as always.
Is there a confirmed date for the Turf week?
>>1840449No, but there's a gap in the schedule from July 16th to July 23rd so it's probably then
>>1840505Was just officially confirmed that this is correct
>>1851459Next wednesday when Turf week starts. Also, it's kind of funny how they use the word matsuri for all of their event weeks but nobody gives a shit because none of them matter besides the pass matsuris so we'll always know which one people mean when they mention them
>>1830564Just got mine done too. Took ages to find BR matches and even TB was slow today. Finally got a build for Surfing Cannon Surfer at least. Turns out Wall Shooter's pretty good on it even without Lab making things bind when they shouldn't. That little bit of extra gum damage and ninjutsu goes a long way.
>Wall Shooter 123, Giant Killer 23, Ninjutsu Stock 123, Berserker 123Come to think of it, I could probably fit Ninja Sense Pro on there for the damage/gum damage against morphed opponents too. Might be overkill though, it doesn't feel like it needs extra damage and it's better if medium Ghost can't bind by accident so the wave won't end the bind early. Either way, this weapon is completely and utterly broken. Started on a match with 19 IPPONs and 4 KOs and ended on one with 16 IPPONs.
>>1852379Congrants!
>Took ages to find BRI can imagine, I remember how dead it was at certain hours and that was on a Matsuri.
>Either way, this weapon is completely and utterly broken.I dread fighting a Surfing Cannon spammer, luckily there isn't a squad full of them roaming around.
>>1852515Thanks! And yeah, there's really not much you can do about Surfing Cannon; it's undodgeable without a perfectly-timed gum boost at a distance and making it unblockable means there's pretty much no counterplay unless you have some means to hit them out of it before they're done charging. Giving it gum damage made it even dumber because it can 1-shot bind with medium Ghost, and Wall Shooter makes it so even an uncharged Surfing Cannon can bind with medium Ghost and it often does enough gum damage to get around gum damage reduction if you charge it too. Since there's no Iron Bind and medium Ghost has a low cooltime, you can just keep pestering people endlessly until they inevitably die. You'll probably be able to gumbind and even if you can't you still have Giant Killer and Berserker to benefit from it. It's pretty fucked unless you've got a move that's immune to projectiles
Holy shit, why no one of you is talking about the new hair accessory in the store? It adapts to any haircut with "tails"!
>>1854876The scrunchie? I guess it's nice if you have a hairstyle that it goes with, but it doesn't seem to work well with a lot of them. Like for my ninja it just sits on top of the hair
Turf Week is upon us. Anyone want to squad? I could go a bit earlier than this in the coming days too
>>1857950Yes -G
As for earlier, dunno how available I could be, at the very least I would need to pause like 30 min around reset.
>>1857972No worries, whenever is fine as long as it's not too late on a weekday. I generally do need to eat at some point during the night anyway
Dang didn't press A
>>1857987Well aside the mentioned pause, I can join like 3 hours before reset at earliest, I'll try to monitor this threads more in case you decide to run a squad.
>>1857999Yes, I guess I should take it as a sign to swap ninja codes.
>>1858000That works for me too, 3 hours before is usually about the earliest I can do on weekdays. I'd probably start a bit later than that in fact
>>1858010I'm gonna make him regret being a tenshi spammer even if it means hit and run for an entire match.
Hidoki with his maxed out cheats still losing all three quick respawns immediately. Pathetic.
>>1858010>>1858043woops didn't mean to reply.
>ragequit after getting less than 1000 points
lol, lmao
He couldn't even last the entire match.
>>1858055>>1858056Did he spam angry marie as always? hahahaha
>>1858079More crying than usual this time, actually
Oh hey ko, did you want to try squadding?
I don't think it's the GungHo curse this time, the matchmaking just seems dead tonight
Wahahahaha, suck on that hidoki
I'm glad that me and that other guy could SC on that poison.
>>1858141Too bad he was spamming it on the other team along with another guy that time. Nice job suppressing both of them
>10 ippon, 3 kos
holy shit, that felt nice
How much more did you guys want to do? I probably shouldn't stay up too much longer -Ma
>>1858173I got 3 missions done in that match alone, only one mission left so I can probably do one more.
>>1858173Well it is late, I don't mind this one being the last, specially since it seems most of them are just blues.
>>1858185Mission complete!
That was fun, thanks
>>1858175>>1858185Alright, sounds good to me. Wish I could keep going, but oh well. Thanks for the games, it was fun! Hope we can do it again tomorrow
>>1858194GGs!, thanks for hosting!
Apparently you get jala every day for playing Turf. The pass matsuri is on too
Anyone up for some pre-reset Turf? I can keep going after reset too
>>1859272Can join now and continue beyond reset -G
>>1859313Picking you up now
>>1859272Mind if I hop in for a few rounds? -B(Ri)
I'm surprised with how quickly we are getting matches.
What an obnoxious lab monkey that katana was.
>>1859347Sure, inviting you now
And as always poison unnecessarily stretch the match.
Gonna call it there for now, thanks for the games!
>>1859376GGs, glad you could join.
Another Camu that can't do anything but press the special and ninjutsu buttons
>>1859399A shame these mode lack an option for no Ninjutsu, wonder if limiting them for 2 per battles, stock-wise, would help.
>>1859410Ditto. One of the most braindead players I've ever seen.
Extremely fair match there. Our blue went most of it with 0 points.
>>1859421Sometimes I wish our extra teammates could at least work as a 3rd player, yet most of the time it feels like they don't even count as half and I mean the combination of both.
>>1859425Honwstly they work against us more often than not. That random we had this time was just getting in the way.
So many cheat drugs that the winning team got infinite ninjutsu this time. Disgusting. Live how the game gives us literally 0 teammates too. Hope those blues get banned.
Can't say that I even bothered trying, aside for avoiding tenshi that's it.
>2vs2
It was for the best.
Gonna play one last match tonight, is late and the quality of the matches is declining.
What a shitty end, still I'm glad we trashed them.
Thanks for the squad!
>>1859481>revenge match but without the wanderbabies>even with ninjutsu spam they still get destroyed Works for me, that seems like a good stopping point. Thanks for the games!
Bit late tonight, but anyone up for some Turf?
>>1860911I do- G
Probably gonna pause for a bit in 1 hour
>>1860934No worries, I can go all night tonight if you're still up for it after that
One of the starts of all time
Berserker is working pretty well on this Scrap Saber build, think that was the right choice over Ninjutsu Stock. Synergizes with the weapon ability too. Aslo feels like Utsusemi is pulling its weight, but there are always moments where I wish I had Giant Killer because of that Iron Bind cooltime nerf
I don't know what was going through my mind with that one horse.
Looks like those two were having a ninjala date
Man I don't remember why I put IB on this, aside a triple WA it feels lackluster.
>>1860993You reminded me how I hoped for a Mall as second "resort".
Brb hopefully soon.
>>1860996I wouldn't recommend it, Motor can't afford the shot cooltime nerf since it's so important to be able to use Shot often. My build was
>Utsusemi Master 12, Life Drain 123, Giant Killer 2, Energy Hoarder 12but you really need to know the tricks to combo into Bumpy Accelerator after normal attacks for that one to get some unburstable damage at the end of comboa
>>1861007Alright, GGs for now then!
Alright back for more turf.
>>1861011I put LD instead, IB just feels like a waste on this
>>1861057Will pick you up after this, gonna brb afterward too
Sorry for the wait, starting now
Another cheating cunt with a 1-shot dragon.
Last one for me tonight, thanks for the squad!
>>1861173Thanks for the games, it was fun! Think this Scrap build still needs some work
Bit late again, but anyone up for some Turf?
>>1862506Sorry for the wait. Was having internet issues
>altSP skateboard with lab badge ragequit after losing RPS
But why though
I feel like our previous team would've ignored the drones for the rest of the match.
>>1862542They were pretty braindead, had to stay in our zone to babysit for most if the match
Man, that Ron just would not stop going for our zone no matter how many times I beat him. It's like he only knew that one route and nothing else
Too much green juice on that Gr8
Why do we keep getting the blues that don't even understand that you have to stay in the zone
God please give me a rematch.
>>1862578Of course we get the same one again. There's no way to carry that kind of team.
Another day, another cheating katana.
Disgusting. These kinds of people are why the matchmaking is so dead.
Next one is my last for today.
Lots of shitty matches and no being able to get revenge soured me, still glad we could Turf, thanks for the squad.
>>1862646Thanks for the games then!
>>1862660Eh, there was nothing we could do. Their team had three weapons with literally no counterplay. The fact that they lost any fights at all despite that is victory enough.
>>1862662I suppose so. I imagine a team like that would be the norm if a turf tournament existed, their poison+barrier reminded me of how full of mixer strikers got.
Anyone up for more Turf? I'd be fine with skipping tonight since I'm going to have to choose between that and eating, but if someone wants to Turf then I will do so
>>1864085Better go and eat, we still have 2-3 days to enjoy turf.
>>1864090Guess it's a good thing we didn't, that ended up taking a while. I'd actually kept playing for a lot of the day anyway, and I think I finally figured out the trick to Scrap Saber; you don't need Iron Bind. Or rather, I kept playing for long enough that I couldn't stand Iron Bind's cooltime nerf any more and then it turned out that it barely worked any differently without it. You get 1 hit off a bind instead of 2, but you can take your time with it and use Laser to catch people much more freely even if they escape whereas with Iron Bind there were long periods where you just couldn't do anything and none of the assist codes worked particularly well either. Instead of getting a hit off a bind, you can use Laser's extra hits or Utsusemi to land more melee attacks before the bind. Your combos aren't guaranteed, but they rarely were even with Iron Bind and ending bind early lets you evade attacks as you smack people around. In fact, the extra Laser hits cover some of their gaps. I'm glad that thing about Iron Bind on Motor came up a couple days ago to make me try this, the weapon just feels so much better now
>>1864286I had forgotten how awful the CD becomes with it, it always nagged me when I tried it with Calibur, I was fine with motor since I'm mostly fooling around with special but it clearly was a waste combo wise.
What are you picking as replacement?
>>1865072This is what I've been using instead. Life Drain, Giant Killer, and Hyena's speed boost help a lot when you don't have guaranteed IPPON combos. Utsusemi isn't that important, but it's nice to have for setplay, completing binds, and having something else to cover your melee attacks with. Berserker and either Ninjutsu Stock or NSP would probably be fine in its place.
I was actually thinking I might take Iron Bind off of Calibur too, but for that one the damage isn't quite high enough to make up for Lab in some cases and Punishing Blade can get a lot stronger with Iron Bind's explosion. It can probably live without it though, and Grenade is extremely strong so being able to use it more is appealing
Anyone want to get an early start on Turf? Might need to leave early later on, not sure yet
>>1865216I can join now. -G
>select stop marchmaking immediately
>refuses to cancel
I swear GungHo made yhis game infuriating on purpose sometimes. Will pick you up after this
I see, the game truly wants to reset before giving a single match.
>even the baby was a lab monkey
Gross. That other katana was lagging a ton too
That fan literally could not do anything but survive forever with drugs and press the tenchi button.
Sorry about that failed save, Tenchi is very hit or miss with me.
>>1865310I do wonder if limiting two per match, stock wise, would force people to lean on their weapon more.
>>1865324Dunno, but they need to do something about it. Maybe balancing them to have some actual weaknesses would help too
>3 PBCrazy shit.
>>1865329Being stuck on certain weapons and a different degree of strong and weak points was suppose to be the balance, between lab an lack of tinkering them for them to be more balanced between themselves we have reached this point.
I think you broke that fan.
>>1865359Good. Taunt to get bodied is always a true combo.
Have to call it after this one -Ma
>>1865389Alright, GGs and thanks for the squad!
>>1865395GGs! Hopefully we can get some more in before it ends in the next two days
Anyone up for Turf? This is the last reset for it
Jesus christ that poison-spamming surfer was laggy, I died to poison before I could hit him 3 times even with Life Drain
I liked it better when our teammates were dead that match.
Is amazing how much of a minus your teammates can be.
They sure liked that ninjutsu button
Wish the tenchi didn't failed there.
I'm surprised we pulled it.
Close one there, really felt like a 4v3
>he ragequit when this was his best chance to win thanks to his cheating surfer teammate
What a moron.
Why did he join the queue then.
>he did it again
lol, lmao. Get banned from matchmaking, idiot.
Camu was lagging so hard that even the zones felt it.
God the fan parry is such a cheat move. No counterplay to just running away and waiting for an attack.
Holy hell what was wrong with those teammates, they spent ninjutsu to steal kills but couldn't defend the zone worth a damn
Disgusting katana. Did literally nothing but spam 1-shot tornados.
Next one should probably be my last for tonight
Next one is my last for tonight.
>>1866754Take care, GGs and thanks for the squad!
>>1866763GGs! I'll try to make time for more before reset tomorrow if possible
Last night of Turf for a while, anyone up to squad before it goes away at reset?
>>1868372Sure, probably can't till the end though. -G
>>1868378Alright, trying a different build this time. Much weaker Utsusemi and no defense on Life Drain, but Ninja Sense Pro with its extra damage and range for energy recovery plus Hyena vision. So don't expect the Marie statues to bind, they're just there for hitstun at this point
Not sure what we had there could count as teammates
This one's my bad, I was busy with something the first half
>>1868410Don't sweat it, our teammates were dying super fast regardless. Probably wouldn't have been able to carry
I guess mixer didn't work for them on the previous match.
>>1868434Oh right I guess I went down to their spawn to bonk them when they tried it last time
Why do they never stand in the zone and just spend all match crawling up the walls like ants
>>1868453Well you know, some people graduate late from being blue.
>>1868466Someone needs to help cure all these blue gumballs. If only our resident pink ninjas were still around
The hell is wrong with these players.
>>1868488All the people who knew how to play left already, I guess
I think the tenchi burned his braincells
Oh yeah, I'd been meaning to mention that the NA combo for Fan usually doesn't kill and generally doesn't follow up into anything except maybe wide special (which can then lead to an enhanced break or very invulnerable wide attack). Back Attacks followed by a Wide Attack if the bind is about to end usually do the trick, with NA to get closer if necessary. Wide Attack also leads to those followups before; in fact I don't remember if NA3 actually does, it's pretty laggy at the end
Welp gotta go now, I probably won't return in time before reset, glad I could turf with both GGs!
>>1868530GGs and thanks for all the Turf! Hope they keep doing this event, it's been ages since I've wanted to play this game for a week straight
>>1868525I've been relearning fan this couple of days, NA3 is indeed bad both in length and damage, you're better finishing with BA or WA, currently took a linking to finishing with WA and ending the remaining life with Back Special, unlike webm I need to cancel after WA or they can react, some ended even surviving that but a break did the job, not much can be done with Lab making it harder to gauge enemies proper hp, also starting the combo with a boosted NA helps you ensuring more kills.
>Back Attacks followed by a Wide Attack if the bind is about to end usually do the trick, with NA to get closer if necessary.I tried this one on the last match and is perhaps the most damage you can get from it on a single bind.
>>1868608Oh nice, that's a great clip of it! Yeah, doesn't seem like it's got any real followups then but you can cover it with Back/Wide Special and WA..BAs with a WA to finish is probably the way to go in most cases. Honestly, I've had more luck using AltSP on that fan and SP on the other one. It's pretty hard to bind with Kunai mid-combo if you don't have the orbs to help out. They also do some good damage when they decide to hit properly, which means you can get away with just the NA3 combo sometimes. I will say that NA3 is pretty decent on drone destruction since it puts you in the air for movement purposes, but sadly the hitstop on IPPON can make that wonky. Oh yeah, another thing was that the first couple hits of BA have more hitstun so you can combo those into gum shoot sometimes if you cancel early; although that's also easier on the other fan since Kunai need to be farther away to combo right
>>1868653Glad you like him, anon
>>1868703That just makes him cuter
>>1868703I need to try the altsp, it's just that I enjoy throwing tornados more and the tornado dash, as for kunai I don't mind if they don't bind right away I'm fine with a long harassing game with fan mobility, there's also them making the mistake of blocking within proximity for a free break.
>>1869388That sort of playstyle was why I initially thought they'd be a good fit together, but unfortunately the tornadoes aren't that good at catching people so much as being shields. The enhanced moves are pretty good at catching people, but then they don't actually combo into Kunai and if you try to it can give the opponent to teleport out because of Kunai's low hitstun. That also applies to the counter; you can't really bind off it with Kunai without leaving a gap for teleports.
The enhanced moves are all pretty strong on their own and Kunai with that nice Break the weapon has is also strong. The problem is that they don't really work together because Kunai is finicky. On the other hand, the orbs let you combo into Kunai really easily if you jump back after hitting the opponent while they're active and let you bind and pressure in several other ways besides that.
They work pretty decently with Net too, but unlike Kunai Net sucks at catching people so I'd say it benefits more from having the enhanced moves. Plus, the tornadoes can keep people in Net when spaced/timed well or even combo into Net if you hit with the projectile.
But yeah you can use whatever, I just personally found that Kunai didn't play well with the regular special compared to the alter, which seems made for them. They'd still be good for using in neutral on their own regardless
>>1869709>it can give the opponent to teleport out*it can give the opponent a chance to teleport out
>>1869709I'll give it a shot since is not like I have ever tried it, hell I haven't touched fan since the season it premiered, I mostly see everyone with the Alt one so figured is the "better" or easier kind of deal like most alts.
That said I'm not even sure if we still getting one more turf on this season.
>>1869950Yeah, we've got another Turf the weekend after this coming one and then that'll be the last day of it until the season switches over. I actually think the default special on fan is really good, especially for droning, it's just that Kunai are a pain in the butt to use in combos. Aside from not knowing that the enhanced BA erases projectiles and the enhanced WA has long-lasting invulnerability, I think the main reason everyone's using the alter is that it effectively makes them invincible after the buff to NA's counter time. It blocks 2+ projectiles and they can easily block any melee with NA, so it lets them be cockroaches that sit around waiting to press their win button like so many other weapons. That said, if you have it with Kunai you'd generally want to make use of at least one orb for attacking before they get wasted on blocking projectiles
