Feels weird to use this season's banner for a new thread when the season is going to be over in a few weeks
More Turf on Saturday
Anyone up for Turf?
>>1889415Yes -G
Ghost needs to be nerfed into the ground, that is disgusting.
I got really distracted with the fan for the first half, not that our allies helped that much anyway
That Pop Eye probably should have spent more time playing the game and less time taunting
We sure are having some luck tonight
Every time that it happens I regret this one change.
One of those Iron Noises did nothing but run away and try to steal kills with Rocket all game. Pathetic.
Sorry about that, seems my HDMI switcher was acting up at the start. That or the switch 2 was, not sure
That poison just kept dying on it.
Gonna try Turnabout Guard now. Ninjutsu Stock is nice and all, but its usefulness is pretty easily quantified. It doesn't seem like Ninja Sense Pro's damage code has a big effect on Ring Chop since its nerf. Dunno if that's because there's a limit to the amount of damage it deals or if the effect is just that weak now, but I end up with an extra point because of it if I go with Stock while Turnabout works out almost perfectly
Last one for me tonight, GGs and thanks for the squad!
>>1889755GGs, it was fun!
Anyone interested in some more Turf before it end in less than 3 hours?
>>1892149Sure -G
Gotta love life drain for poison spammers
It seems like were not escaping poison hell.
Asshole just got gangbanged at the end
Surprised we went even one match without Poison
No wonder most people pick Wind Caller, specially with how most people love to spam projectiles.
>>1892276Yeah, ignoring projectiles alone is huge. Sadly the cool combos you can do with it are just a bonus. The wind beam isn't all that good for anything but sneak attacks, stealing, and guard breaks since the tracking is kind of subpar, but everything else is great
Man, that one was a slaughter. Wonder if the game will give us another match
>>1892318No luck, thanks for the squad!
Dang, guess not. Oh well, thanks for the games! Hope they keep letting do this much Turf every season
>>1889718Turnabout didn't work out because it wasn't activating often enough with Life Drain's super fast HP recovery on Scrap Saber, so I ended up going with>Ninja Sense Pro 13, Life Drain 123, Stealing Hyena 123, Giant Killer 1, Ninjutsu Stock 23instead. Has everything the weapon needs for survival and IPPONs. It's definitely not getting 3 Disco per match even with the Giant Killer ninjutsu code, but Stock ensures that you can still make those Discos count and gives you the ability to see through walls for most of the match too. Also, apparently the Ninja Sense Pro damage code just got nerfed from about 125% to 120% damage so I guess it wasn't as bad as I thought. Every bit of extra damage helps on this weapon anyway.I also realized that there is value to waiting before continuing the combo on it. Ring Chop will catch pretty much any option the opponent picks aside from ninjutsu, Pop Eye WA, or guard. Rather than risking a Break read, you can just wait a sec for the burst to end. The snap-back motion and long recovery on Scrap Saber's attacks seems to support that sort of playstyle. Need to try doing that with Wide Attack more too, especially since it's a bit weak to teleports. Need to use Wide Attack or Ring Chop during combos against teleport weapons more in general, I think. Waiting for the ticks of Laser damage before ending the gumbind is another thing that supports this and can let you kill with Break against some weapons too once you've powered up Ring Chop enough with the big weapon ability. In other modes, you could probably use that waiting to bait opponents in since the weapon is at its strongest when fighting multiple people; the way it moves and the combination of Laser and Ring Chop makes it very hard to interrupt it during combos, which can result in other players getting caught up in said combos and taking 1 out of the 2-3 hits they need for Scrap to IPPON off a gumbind.
Final pass matsuri of the season is on, and less than a week left until the season's over.
Would anyone be willing to hop on to get a single Ranked BR match in for the rewards before the season ends? Already have someone else helping so it hopefully won't take that long with one more
>>1902425Sure
>>1902442Alright, queuing now. 3 people in the room at the moment but it's heading toward ONF
Thanks a ton, I was at it for hours! Can finally get back to doing other stuff
I ate ALL the apples. i AM the bestest.in all seriousness sorry a bit for that, i overdid it for what was premade room where we queue-sniped eachother. Thankfully we don't have to touch ranked again ever (util next season).
>>1902458No problem, I'm just glad it worked out fine on the first attempt.>>1902461Usually is better to do them as soon as the season start, just don't expect a fun match.
>>1902470Yeah, I was planning to do it around the start of the season but that was a rough time for me so I couldn't bring myself to do it. I'll try to get it done early this coming season though
>>1905969Always nice to start the morning with a nice cup of whoop-ass
disappointment is now available to download
>>1907075Well I guess there at least is a season 21 if nothing else
Datamine is a bit concerning.
>>1907145
https://ninjalathegame.com/en/news/info/season21.htmlSeems like season 21 is the last season, but it will go on indefinitely. So exactly what they've been doing for years already only they stopped pretending to support it with the barebones seasons. Guess the future remains a mystery. They still refuse to nerf anything, so we're stuck with all the same bullshit indefinitely too. And buffed Charging Slash because these dumbasses don't understand why more people use Razor Edge.
Need ninjas wearing legwear
>>1907284So it's practically over? It's a fucking shame that it has come to this. I miss the days of collabs and new weapons but Gungho never learned, made it P2W and fucked everything up. I'm still gonna lurk and maybe join in for Turf but holy shit, how could they let it die so hard...?
>>1907284I figured they would just rerun old season pass, so even in their life support they half-ass.And again with those subpar changes, I know they aren't really paying attention to their game but they should at least mask it better, guess its just par for the course with this game at this point.
Huh they increased the fountain cap to 50.
>>1907838Seems that way, but if you think about it this is just business as usual minus new cosmetics. Game's been dead for a long time already. I'll probably stick around for Turf too, but I imagine it'll get harder and harder to find matches as time goes on with no new "content".>>1907925A couple of them are good, but it really does show just how little they care about Ninjala at this point. I bet they still haven't fixed the Punishing Blade being able to guard cancel its own hitstun bug or broken basic combos on Motor/Scrap either. Good to know all that feedback I went to the trouble of translating got completely ignored.>>1908014Guess there's no point in FOMO now. Don't really need to worry about missions anymore either since the pass is indefinite; they'll just get completed with normal play over time. Kind of glad we bothered to do that last bit of ranked
>>1907754What kind?
>>1908044I enjoy legwear of too many kinds to list
>>1907284Balance changes seem pretty whatever. Katana and Drill barely change due to their weapon abilities already restoring cooltime. Drill might get even more untouchable when droning. Noise didn't really need the damage but whatever, I'll take it. Slightly faster BR drone combos with gum shoot -> WA -> SP -> NA. Pop Eye buff doesn't feel that impactful, but this means you can use SP for medium Laser combos more easily so it'll help a bit. Yo-yos actually did need more damage so the Leap buff is pretty good. Master of Change ASAKUSA Wheel might be viable now. Beyond the Gum's problem was damage, not cooltime. Still can't do infinite combos with it anymore, so not much point to this change. Bumpy Accelerator on the other hand did desperately need a cooltime buff so that one's good. Feels better to use right off the bat. The Thunder Cannon buff is absurd. Like genuinely, what were they thinking? With big weapon, that attack deals around half a sound hammer's HP in damage when charged while ignoring guard. Completely braindead change. The Tornado Shot one is also unnecessary since the weapon already has so much going for it and the special already does so much, but it wouldn't have been a bad idea if not for that.This is not an ideal environment to spend the remainder of Ninjala's life in, but it's not the worst thing ever either. Just more of the same.
>>1907284>Season will last indefinitely Yup, this is fucking maintance mode, it's over.
>>1909026Clearly all the developers are busy working on Ninjala 2
I guess I gonna max up this final battle pass and get over with it but I will buy the last levels, I already bought the 25 tiers thing because fuck it, it's over.
>no "next season you get 3 free tiers" item in the pass Oh fuck, it's over, it's so fucking over.
>>1909064I'm just going to take my time with it. No rush at this point aside from the dwindling population
>>1909081That is exactly why I must rush it! Less population means less rooms with enough people for a game which means that completing missions becomes even more a hell!
>>1909088Well, Team Battle will probably be full of new players even later on. Those tier 100 missions for Battle Royale are going to be hell though
>>1907284https://x.com/itmedia_news/status/1955903822796349871/>Gungho, former executive engaged in internal fraud, embezzling over 200 million yen through fictitious orders to himself, abusing a "job request service" To be disciplinarily dismissed & criminally chargedhey i think i found the reason for that annoucnment
>>1909127Could be, but they have plenty of money and there are no signs that there will be another season after this even once that's resolved. A bunch of shareholders were calling for Morishita's resignation earlier in the year too
Well lads, I guess ths is it. Still gonna get tier 100 slowly and that Goro costume though.
So how much IRL money you spent in Ninjala? I spent 0.33 dollar cents back in season 1 just to have enough for the battle pass.
>>1909375I would rather not know how much I've spent.
They updated the game to remove this text. Ninjala confirmed alive forever
Maybe they are working in a sequel for the switch 2?
>>1910067That's the dream anyway. They haven't had a full crew on this game for ages now and they all had to be working on something; plus we know GungHo has plans for Switch 2 games but hasn't announced anything yet. Anime's still going and an indefinite season means they could release a sequel whenever
>>1909375One-time $4.99 jala back in season 1 as well. Then the story mode when it was on sale for like $2 or something.In total, less than $10.
If anyone feels like squadding at all in the future, I'd be up for it if time allows. Doesn't have to be Turf. May as well get the most out of the game while it's still around
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Necro_0KjIkxrR6p9DzxoY8jN_nutHSuzhufAtqOlaINonozi's data sheet has been updated, possibly for the last time.
sad to see ninjala go, wish they could re-use the game assets to make a new offline game with similar gameplay.... that being said did the clown costume anon ever got that costume?
>>1913760No clown costume yet, but they have a ball-balancing emote in the pass this season to taunt that anon
How much fanart have you gathered of the game over the years? Explicit or not?
Oh well, at least we lasted more than shitloads of "less niche" live service games.
>>1914157About 3-4 gigs, kind of wish I saved more
>>1914423Mind if you hand me some?
>>1914888Here's a couple handfulshttps://mega.nz/folder/9PYjRAjY#cX3-l419HwXj48-6lGEZOA
>>1915214Penor inspection day is now
>>1915214 Oh wow. There’s even stuff that was lost to time, I can only hope i can see more from others. Thank you.Though I can’t really download it all as a big chunk is above the 1 gigabits thing.
>>1915299NO WAIT IM NOT REASY I STILL HAVENT SHAVED!
>>1915305Who said a bit of a jungle is grounds for loss of points?
>>1915303I didn't make it, but I'm thankful to the /gum/my that did. I've been slacking with my own collection and only really have art I especially like or that involves /gum/ ninjas
>>1914157I think a few were explicit and I didn't have as many as others but I'm happy that my ninjas were likable enough to be included at all desu
>>1914157Not enough, specially explicit.
Even if Ninjala dies, I guess there's nothing stopping me from getting more lewd ninja commissions. At least something good will come of it then
Reminder that this season's gachas (witch and doctor outfits) are going away tomorrow at reset for some reason
Is there anything you'd like to do before Ninjala dies? I still want to find a build that I can be satisfied with for each weapon. Started that grind with ASAKUSA Wheel this weekend and ended up getting to tier 30-something.>(SP) Master of Change 123, Gum Guard Master 13, Giant Killer 1, Gum Boost Impact 13, Ninjutsu Stock 12I think this is probably the build, but I need to give it some more testing. Ninjutsu wasn't worth it at all, but it seems pretty good at Master of Change sniping now. There are no more buffs to hope for, so I just have to work with what I've got. If I can find a build for this thing then the rest of the weapons should be a piece of cake
>>1916829I'd want to have one final room battle with all the /gummies/ to pay one final tributethis game was an actual life changer for me and some folks here and despite all of the fights and drama most of us will have fond memories of it
>>1915214amazing compilation anon, treasure it forever
>>1916829They are taking it down?
>>1919662https://www.gungho.co.jp/en/Supposedly from investor reports in the link above, 2025 was a test year and the game would go into maintenance mode if they didn't manage to renew interest in it. They originally planned for NFTs to do this but thankfully they didn't go that route. However, they also did jack shit to actually improve anything so of course we are now in maintenance mode.Take all that with a grain of salt since it's secondhand info and I haven't gone through those reports myself, but given this indefinite season I think it's safe to say that the end could be coming at any time. If you want to do something in Ninjala, now is the time to do it. The only hope for the future of this game is the possibility of Ninjala 2.
>>1919645I don't know if we even have enough people left for that
>>1919662I mean aside this never ending season you have to remember the dwindling of its players and needing a minimum for a match.>>1920336>2025 was a test year and the game would go into maintenance mode if they didn't manage to renew interest in it.Did they expect for everything to be fixed without lifting a finger? why is incompetency the norm, wish they got their shit together like current Level-5.>The only hope for the future of this game is the possibility of Ninjala 2.I really hope so, it would be beyond a waste to just let it die like this.
>>1920586I'd be up for it. -koWe had some fun moments... at least the game lasted longer than <insert mobage gachatrash here>
>>1920941Guess we'd just need to pick a time that works for everyone then. Before that though, there's Turf tonight if anyone's interested
>>1922090Unfortunately I can't join this week turf, have fun on my behalf.
>>1922373Dang, hope you can catch the next one then. Actually I won't be able to play until the early morning hours like I usually do this time either, but I'll go as long as possible if anyone else wants to
Turf is upon us. Anyone up to squad?
>>1923472Yeah, I'll boot up now.
>>1923505Sorry, who was this? I checked and I think I found someone else
>>1923472I'm up for a few games - C
>>1923472>>1923525Sorry, re-invite when you're able, I forgot to buy the mini pass.
>>1923531No worries, will do
Thanks GungHo
The MoC strat with ASAKUSA Wheel is going pretty well ao far
Done trying to squad for the night, ko? Can't blame you with this matchmaking if so
>>1923598Battery is at 6% lolBut I got dailies done, so I guess that's it for now.
>>1923610Ahh, gotcha. Thanks for the games then!
That's it for me for now, gotta head to bed. GGs, thanks for the games! - C
>>1923617GGs, thanks for playing! Nice to C you again too
Is there a working link to a datamine anywhere and if so to what season does it go up to? I've been working on using the OST rips on youtube but it just occurred to me I'm probably taking extra steps.
>>1923925https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11OOlVT5wxf716HDG6hSvaEl0lfgntJeRFully up to date aside from a few things from this season like an updated version of the Glorious Croissant song
>>1924229Thanks. However as it turns out the trade off of having to manually splice in the intros to and loop each track compared to just giving a slight edit to the youtube audio rips for slightly (to me) better quality isn't worth it, so I will keep trucking along with those
>>1925122No prob, and good luck.Also, if anyone wants some more Turf I'll be at it from now until reset. There's a tournament afterward too but I doubt I'll bother with it
>>1925178Sure I'll join in for a bit, just need a little while to get set up
>>1925237Cool, just let me know then
>>1925178Can I join? -G
>>1925430Sure, just need a few minutes
>>1925430>>1925437Sorry for the wait, invite sent
5000 points? I could've sworn our blue was afk.
>>1925492He was, you get +5000 points by default for winning
Gotta love 5v3s
The damage a single idiot motherfucker on your team can do is honestly ridiculous.
>>1925517Is very painful, specially when the enemy team is skilled, is one of my grievance with TB.
Unfortunately I can't stay till the end, thanks for the squad!
>>1925535Thanks for the games, glad you could join us!
>>1925535GGs, even if it's short it's a way to squeeze more enjoyment out of the game
the only reason they play ninjala because pedophiles jerk off shitty female avatars.
Since I decided to finally update my music library after years, Ninjala is finally kill, and I am lazy, I grabbed my favorite tracks off youtube and snipped them to a more appropriate soundtrack length. Might pick up a couple more here or there but for now I'm done. Ninjala's OST is so terribly underrated. One of the things I looked forward to the most each season was seeing what new BGM got added.
>>1927208There's some great stuff in there, shame they won't be making any more. Glorious Croissant was a weird one to end on. Wish the youtube uploads had a more reasonable length instead of all being extended versions>>1927149Believe it or not, it used to have good gameplay and there are still some vestiges of that left. There's no other game like Ninjala.
GG's, T.It's me, MK.Didn't expect to see you in Unite of all places.How's Ninjala doing, btw?
>>1928710 Oh! no wonder that name felt familiar, its been a while huh? Just got back into it now but I haven't touched ninjala or this general in a long while, not sure when is a good time to play this game again but GGs nonetheles! Also ty for the coinage other anon
>>1907284So it really is over, huh?Damn.I haven't played in like half a year cuz I couldn't put up with the bullshit anymore.They could've done so much to course-correct at any point, but they just didn't.Shame, too, cuz there really isn't another game like Ninjala.I'd play some more for old time's sake, but I don't know if there are even enough people left playing to get a match going.
>>1928742Well it's technically indefinitely not over, but yeah the end is nigh. I don't know about getting a Battle Royale match, but Team Battle is still relatively populated since the matchmaking is bad. Featured Battles on weekends still have people for the same reason. Can't blame you at all for not playing since things really haven't gotten better. A Ninjala 2 is our only hope now
>>1928730Other anon here, likewise good to hear from you even if we only trade coins, If I didn't lack confidence on my skills nor believed that the ranked solo climb has tainted me I would invite you to play.
Has the manga even been translated?
GGs, Gr.I'm seeing everyone in Unite today.
>>1929234GG, glad to see you even in a different game.I'm just glad I didn't drag my losing streak into that match.
>>1929092Nope. Still waiting for the last volume to get high-quality scans too, although I think there are lower-quality ones out there somewhere already
>>1923925>>1924229It's been updated with the latest OST bits. Apparently the person who did this is going to upload the lossless OST to youtube eventually too
I feel like I'm running into teams with golden badges way too often, another sign of the of the times I guess.
>>1931676Weird, I run into babies more often than death squads these days
Well would you look at that a Matsuri is happening.>>1932049Mostly duos so far, got a team of 2 one time though.
>>1932871Huh, I guess they'll just keep holding pass matsuris periodically then. Wish they'd bring back old passes for new players to work on
how did they manage to keep this going for 181 episodes? are they trying to reach one piece?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3K0Cc2vqG4
>>1934355Look man if the anime keeps going we might just have a shot at the game still going. When the anime dies Ninjala dies for good.
>>1934355By making most of it filler and barely giving it any budget. Can't say I expected a Precure episode though
>>1934355hng Lucy~
>>1889415I am!
>>1938338Me too, but it's not till next weekend
Fuck it, gonna buy the 40 last levels and be over with it.
I want the Goro onesie but the game is dying
>>1942524Can't blame you at all. Haven't bothered playing since the last round of Turf and probably won't play again until the next one>>1942926If you think about it, that also means you don't have much longer to get the Goro onsie
>>1932049Let's hope the babies restart the heartbeat of the game...
