I joined back right at a good time.

EDIT: red ninjara looks fantastic.

 

[Doorman]

It just occurred to me that they're using the neon yellow joycons for this already.

 

[Neoleo2143]

Ninjara Mirror Match looks like a really fun match up.

 

[Speely]

This kind of game is why no one in their right mind wants Nintendo to go 3rd-party.

 

[Roo]

Want to see a Helix match D:

 

[doop_]

That was a good game.

 

[Speely]

It seems that mobility is certainly key in this game.

 

[DecoReturns]

Spring-Man is such a boring design.

 

[Neoleo2143]

It seems that mobility is certainly key in this game.

Well in general mobility is a key aspect of fighters. It's what separates the Guilty Gears and Mahvels from the Street Fighters and Mortal Kombats.

True. It's just a bit different seeing it from this perspective given all the variables and 3rd-person spacing elements.

 

[Regiruler]

Is that a guy or a girl?

EDIT: ok that immediately clears that up

 

[Speely]

Is that a guy or a girl?

Really?

Edit: Oh ok

 

[Regiruler]

Really?

Edit: Oh ok

I posted that before she spoke.

Word! Sorry, didn't mean to be snarky.

 

[Regiruler]

The boulder like arm seems smaller. Does mummy just make his arms bigger?

 

[Unicorn]

Damn, that Minmin fetal position is brutal.

 

[Speely]

Ninjara still OP confirmed.

 

[TZchassis]

rounds seem to be too short. that one quickly finished.

 

[Kicko]

That Ninjara grab.

 

[jwk94]

Minmin's getting stomped

 

[Regiruler]

Damn, that 2-0 is brutal.

 

[Roo]

Ninjara too strong
Pls nerf

 

[Speely]

Minmin's getting stomped

Needs to Min Max

 

[Vashzaron]

Are some people just mashing hardcore? Can't help but notice -prohibited in the top left of the screen sometimes (mostly covered by webcam) which I can only assume that pausing or something is set prohibited and people keep hitting that button.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

''I don't care about arms i came for splatoon 2''

LOL

Only in Japan.

 

[trixx]

seems like theres quite a bit of auto aim with the grabs. Like command grab, they gotta nerf

 

[Speely]

Can we please take a moment to appreciate this music???

 

[jchap]

This is very weird.

 

[rikichi]

Name of chick who's presenting? You know, for research purposes...

 

[Speely]

Now THIS is a match-up.

 

[SirShandy]

The thing is, you can knock down a grab with a punch. If you're watching your opponent closely it should be easy to knock down grabs, especially if you are farther away.

 

[jwk94]

There's a way to counter these grabs, right?

Needs to Min Max

lmao that aws good.

EDIT:
The way this kid on the right is holding the mic, it looks like he's about to drop some bars.

She's definitely a cutie :3

Hah I couldn't resist.

Also, yes. A normal punch counters/goes through a grab.

 

[Magnet_Man]

Any punch that hits the grabbing hands will break the attempt. Grabs are working very well right now because we're not used to the timing. The idea is to use one punch to break the grab and then use the other punch to punish.

Nintendo is focusing intensely on creating a clear power weakness chain with "Block > Punch > Grab > Block".

It works as a rock paper scissors system - grab beats shield, shield beats punch, punch beats grab.

maybe it needs to come out slower because seems like it's just as fast as a punch, so kind of hard to react(?)

hey good source, nsfw btw

 

[jwk94]

Only saying one word? I've seen enough anime to know the dude on the left is gonna win.

Hopefully someone gets a hang of this before the stream is over. I'd like to see some good counters.

 

[Speely]

I think the bigger issue is that grabs seem to be more accurate. The speed seems fine, but if they are indeed more accurate, that makes them more dependable, which sort of messes up the RPS dynamic.

 

[LProtag]

What's making Ninjara so OP?

The teleport dash, from my viewing.

 

[Magnet_Man]

It is as fast as a punch, but the grabber cannot move during this so if the other player is steady with throwing a smooth flow of punches, the auto-aim will allow the opposing punch to fly directly at the grab attempt. Grabs are landing so much right now because players are throwing out punches as soon as they can while the players that are advancing are doing better at staggering their attacks to create more solid pressure.

yeah that's why it seemed to me like there was some sort of auto aim making it easier to confirm the grab, in addition it comes out just as fast as a punch

oh ok so patience wins, gotta move out of grab and react?

 

[jwk94]

Damn, Ninjara is fucking this dude up, even without grabs.

EDIT:
Didn't expect it to be that close.

 

[Mory Dunz]

good match

 

[LProtag]

The teleport dash, from my viewing.

Is it faster, or just harder to read? I haven't been watching too much.

 

[Mory Dunz]

That girl's voice is annoying. She's doing the anime over acting thing, but in real life.

 

[wildfire]

Grabs are fine.


You can beat two fists with one and follow up with the arm doing damage while the first arm increases the chance a grabber will get their arm disabled.
