Whoops, I accidentally let the old thread die. Reminder that there's a pass matsuri on if you're still doing that pass grind

>>2028125
It caught me off-guard too, normally the thread doesn't get pushed that quickly to the last page.

>>2028762
I think they might have reduced the number of pages on this board? 4chanX is already displaying the page number as red even though it's only on page 5, and it seems like there are less topics than there used to be in the catalog. Looks like page 5 or 6 is the limit now

>>2029772
Yesterday it seemed to be page 6, today there's at least 2 threads at 7.

>>2030641
Now it's at 7, and the captcha seems to be fucking up here and on other boards. Wonder if we're getting hacked again or something

>>2033606
It seems like the change got reversed and the board is slowly filling till it reach page 10. Regardless of being the site acting up or someone getting frisky, I'm just glad it wasn't permanent.

Happy Hallobean. Turf tonight if anyone wants to go spooking

>>2037716
I'll be joining in like 10 mins or so.

>>2037716
Ready to go. -G

>>2038616
Alright, getting on now. Only going to be able to play for like an hour though

Getting tired of this tenchi spammer

>>2038642
Even worse with the lag.

Nice dragon dodge.

>>2038661
Thanks, it seems easier on switch 2 for some reason

Looks like the tenchi spam is on our side this time

Of course.

Alright, that's all the time I've got for sure. Thanks for the games! Will hopefully be able to do more tomorrow

>>2038701
It was short but nice, thanks for the squad!

Up for more Turf from now until reset if anyone's interested

>>2039718
Still turfing?

>>2039809
Yep, can pick you up after this match/ONF

>>2039810
Alright. -G

>Poison and VS
Their blue was well deserved.

Need to brb a minute

>>2039838
Back, sorry about that

>katana kills a hammer in 3 hits
Genuinely disgusting.

But why though

Man, ghost is truly a great gum shot.

Two-Edged Parry was a mistake, it kills Pop Eye's survivability too much. This feels much better. No Hyena might be better than Hyena since it's best to get another hit in before the bind too. Life Drain with no healing code but both defense codes is also putting in work, and actually gives the weak healing on the wide field some value since it keeps you below full HP unless you explicitly decide to heal to full. With NSP and GGM for energy, this feels like the sort of survivability Pop Eye should have

>>2039885
Shame they fucked over Two-Edge Parry with the no escape BS, wonder if they feared some sort of always win strategy after escaping.

>>2039898
I think they're just idiots who don't understand what they ruined. And dang, so much for the fabled "one more". GGs then, it was fun!

Stellar game Gungho.
>>2039900
Quite the shame, GGs and thanks for a good night of spooks!

>>2039900
GGs, woulda wanted for the dragon spammer to go out on a 35-0 but what can you do.

Wonder if every gacha will be rotating since the season won't end.

>>2051945
Given enough time it probably will.

>>2051945
Maybe

I was under the impression this game hit EoS

>>2057504
Nope, just maintenance mode. Happened recently, we were alive-ish for 5 years. The good gameplay was buried under an ever-growing mountain of problems so it's been dying but not quite dead for a while

>>2057504
Stuck on Season 21 until further announcements, take that as you will. I think we are a week or two away from the normal duration of a season, not that I expect any kind of news from Gung-ho any time soon.

>Ninjala anime has hit 192 episodes
Good lord.

>>2060514
192 episodes of pure filler. Truly GungHo quality

Turf tonight, 1 hour earlier because DST

Anyone up for Turf? Gonna have to pause once I hit tier 75 for my final whaling on the last 25 pass tiers

>>2062254
Yes -G

>>2062254
Yeah i'm up for it, it's been a while. -WL

Man, Hyena speed boost makes a world of difference on Pop Eye. Never should have taken that off

Gotta love unhittable cannons that run away until their win button is ready

>>2062254
Time for whaling, one sec

>>2062304
Sorry about that, ready to go again

>2 Poisons and 2 Rockets.
I'm glad they were far from competent.

>>2062318
One with stock poison had the nerve to complain with a sticker when I killed him through the poison too. These people really just want everything handed to them.

My game timed out. Can you guys come pick me up when you're done?

> a new version of ninjala is out
excuse the fuck out of me then

>>2062341
You guys keep going, i'll empty my chache and try to update the game. Whatever the hell that means.

>stock tornado 1-shots a hammer
Disgusting. Geuinely hope cheaters like this choke on their joycons.

>>2062342
Done with fixing the stuff, ready whenever you are done.

>>2062354
And they dare to claim that the game isn't P2W

>Ally disconnects
I think that's a first.

>lived in their zone all game
>didn't die once
This build is about as tanky as I hoped it would be as long as you stay below full health as much as possible

didn't press the button apparently. So can you guys come back around to invite me back when you're done.

>>2062341
Got the same error again, guess I'm stopping here for tonight. Gonna reinstal the game to see if that does anything.

>>2062401
Thanks for joining, hope that it gets fixed.

>>2062401
Thanks for the games, hope we can do more tomorrow

Glad you could make it Ma, I got tenshi on the middle at the last second.

Nice comeback there, glad to see the idiot who taunts after a tenchi lose

>three surfboards and a skateboard
>two on a team together
>still couldn't win
Well damn, nice job. I can't believe I managed to tank poison within that rocket explosion with a small healing field too

>>2062433
I though our teammates were going to be useless and we would lose, seems like at least one of them was pulling its weight.

>dipshit who taunted instead of taking the zone after a rocket spam kill dies by being trapped in his own rocket as another explodes at the end
Nice. Absolute pottery

>>2062440
I really hate players like that specially with this mode giving them special every twenty seconds, I'm glad he ate that rocket in the end.

Next one is my last for tonight.

Nvm one more

>our teammates are completely braindead and it's a 4v2
>one of their baby teammates figures out how to get to B and press the special button at the last second
Gotta love the teammate gacha. The Noise was a blatant cheater too.

Alright, that's a better note to end on. Sure don't feel bad about shark camping these people. Thanks for the games!

Feels like the babysitting hours, our 2 teammates could barely keep the zone safe by themselves.
Anyway GGs ands thanks for squad

Anyone up for Turf in a few minutes?

>>2064410
I can join in like twenty min.

>>2064416
Alright, let me know then

>>2064439
Sorry for the wait, I'm ready now -G

>>2064473
No prob, invite sent

It seems we scared everyone off

Next time for sure

Geez, this is worse than usual. Can't remember the last time we had this many ONFs in a row

So close.

>Turns into 4 - 2 instead of 3 - 3
Every time

for how long have we ran into these exact two people in a row now?

Can't believe that trick with the MoC worked twice.

>barrier spamming VS shitter
>3v2
That was not worth the wait at all.

Gonna be honest if these are the people we're gonna be stuck with for the next 40 minutes, i think we might be at a good point to call it.

Love being a blight with golden march.
>>2064608
We could try leaving an entering at least once to see if it shuffle them.

We lost the mandate of heaven, ten thousand years of ONF are abound.

I hope this is just a Sunday thing and not the slowly eroding player base.

>>2064653
It's like 2 PM on a monday in Japan, so it's most likely a sunday thing. Not a whole lot of people playing on that side.

We get one more chance

No surprises there, ah well at least we got some games and curb stomped that PB guy, thanks for the squad.

Oh well, we tried. GGs, as few of them as there were

GGs, not a whole lot but that little bit was fun.

Does someone know WHAT THE CONDITION is to have Shinobi Challed filled up with bots? Is that ninja rank, or character level?

>>2064739
I think it's between level and time since you last played. Can't guarantee if that's it since I haven't really tested it. It's mostly from seeing other people.

File: popeye drill slash 2v1.webm (3.89 MB, 960x540)

3.89 MB WEBM

Not sure how an AltSP lab Drill and Slash lose a 2v1 against a Pop Eye with Full-Throttle Field. In any case, this build seems to be working. Ended up going with
>(SP) Ninja Sense Pro 1, Life Drain 23, Stealing Hyena 123, Giant Killer 3, Turnabout Guard 2
which basically trades GGM for extreme tankiness and strong offense. I am not as mobile and can't afford to gum boost much, but NSP seems good enough for keeping up energy as long as I can use my defensive moves to trade hits and stay on the offensive. Along with the Wide healing field, I can get nice passive HP and energy regen while staying below full HP. It doesn't fully remove the need for Special's healing, but it makes it less vital which means you can use it for attacks instead. Also, Stealing Hyena's speed boost and gum damage codes are perfect so I'm glad I made room for those. Webm related, that Back Special probably wouldn't have connected without Hyena 2 and the Laser wouldn't have 1-shot bound either

>>2064739
No idea, but since Shinobi Challenge is just free Battle Royale I think it's level? I have heard people mention time last played, but I haven't stopped playing long enough to know about that. In Ranked, it depends on rank rather than(?) level

>>2064739
Do you mean ranked battles or THE shinobi challenge? The former I'm sure is related to your ranking though no clue how low is has to be, as for the later my understanding is that you are getting regular BR people so if it's follow the same ruleset then bots are likely related to your lvl. Can't be fully certain on it since unfortunately I long passed the threshold for bots when they decided to add them.

>>2064744
The way he used PB tells enough of his skills, I'm sure he is one of those who rely on AltSP for ez kills, being able to block it with Golden march was nice.

Yes for ranked death match on LOWER ninja ranks the empty slots will be filled with bots. For Shinobi Challenge i have no idea what the condition for bots is. Thats why i asked. Because i cant get Shinobi Challenge matches to happen any longer. Nobody joins these.

>>2066208
Shinobi Challenge is dead because it's Free Battle Royale, which nobody plays anymore because it's a big clusterfuck that goes out of its way to punish you for engaging with anyone. You're probably not going to be able to complete any more Shinobi Challenges at this point unless you happen to find a time of day that's more populated. Once the bots are gone, you're not getting them back unless that thing about not playing for a while is true

>>2066208
I got some matches right after the reset, though I admit it's been a while since I tried, maybe there's a better chance at both the daily and Shinobi Challenge reset.

Does anyone know which exact fishing rod you need for artic char? So far its been snapping my bahamut and demon rod lines.

>>2070246
I think you just need to lower the tension of the line while fishing for them? I don't see any rods with higher line durability than bahamut

>>2070469
Lowering tension doesnt do much.

>>2073752
Might need to follow its movement with the stick too, I dunno. You probably have the right rod with bahamut, but need a different technique for it. That or there's some trick like using gear that tires it out more easily or something. I looked around, but I didn't see anyone else talking about that specific fish

>>2073775
I noticed some fish will snap my bahamut line every time. That same fish can be caught with gumchi rod easily. So its all probably rod dependent. Which makes a lot of sense because gung ho wants to make money from microtransactions.

Team Battle tournament in a few hours. Unfortunately I'll be playing some of it because I have a tier 100 mission for TB

>>2073865
I wouldn't put it past them. Let us know if you do find a rod that works better, I'm curious

It is really impressive how complex they made a fishing minigame inside of the game. It'd be the most comprehensive fishing minigame I have ever seen if it hadn't been immediately ruined by the P2W.
P2W fishing minigame, outrageous.

>>2075099
It would probably be easier to sell Ninjala as a fishing game at this point, honestly. The main modes are all full of fishermen anyway with all the kill stealing and such. Either way, they spent way too much dev time on a single player activity in a multiplayer lobby. Doesn't get more old japanese businessman than taking like a year? half a year? to add a fishing minigame and then making it P2W. Truly a GungHo quality decision

>if it hadn't been immediately ruined by the P2W
Now that I think about it, is there anything in this game that GungHo didn't go out of their way to ruin?

>>2074843
Thanks for the reminder, I completely forgot about the tournaments.

>Failed to get a match
Amazing.

Also a bit late to announce but there's a matsuri going on apparently.

>>2075362
>>2075366
Wow, on a tournament day? Dire. I didn't end up actually participating since it's TB and those are generally easy to get. Ironically I ended up complaining to friends about Ninjala instead

>>2075368
It started rolling after that but it is as awful as always.
Being dogpilled by the enemy team while your team do squat.
Breaking your back while someone decide to just poke with a break an entire match.
And lest not forget "it's your turn to babysit the blue".

I don't think I can ever go back to TB.

>>2075381
>>2075391
It is genuinely awful, but it's the only mode with players these days because they fucked up everything else so hard. Wanting to test a build only to remember that my only option is TB feels terrible

GungHo has more dollars than sense thanks to PAD. They fumbled the ball every step of the way because they only know how to make phone games and nothing else.

Seems like the game updated for some reason, nothing seems different though.

Sorry for the wait! Almost forgot the Christmas outfit

Man, the matchmaking is slow already. Guess it makes sense, it's a busy time of year

>>2142949
I don't have any of the christmas outfits really, though even if i did i would probably be using one of the two you guys are

>>2142979
Don't worry you at least look festive enough.

Also I can't even remember if both are in the regular shop or 1 is stuck on the gacha.

Does Sweet ride give more movement speed than Sonic Trick?

>>2143000
Dress and santa suit are in shop, christmas tree is in gacha. I actually wouldn't mind the tree but blue coins are a scarce resource now that we're in indefinite maintenance.

>>2143022
Last i remember yes, but i don't have any hard data to back myself with.

>>2143023
Just to be sure, there's no reindeer suit right? feels like a missed opportunity.

>blue coins are a scarce resource now
I mean we got plenty time to hoard and not many reasons to spend in the long run thanks to their delay on some red gachas, still you can still get some with logins rewards, featured battles and I think some other play team/battle matches that seems to repeat itself.

Giving more though on the idea of a Santa squad you can technically all be different all you need is Santa(male), S.Dress(female), Santa(female) and S.Dress(male).

>drop down behind the beast with MoC

>>2143030
I skated from one edge to the other and took the same amount. This is my first time using ST, but congrats Gungho you did it again, you created an alt special that trivializes the original.

>>2143058
>Just to be sure, there's no reindeer suit right? feels like a missed opportunity.

There is, but it's also a gacha i think? I'm more sure of it being a gacha set than it being available in the shop.

That fan had Wall Shooter on Kunai despite the weapon being too slow to get onto walls and Kunai not needing the extra gum damage unless you're using Magnum. I guess you don't need to think about cards much when you have enough drugs to survive anything

>>2143058
I vaguely remember a reindeer outfit? Unsure.

>>2143022
Yes, the tricks increase the movement speed more too. It just doesn't matter because the attack speed/distance isn't affected and Sonic Trick is already pretty fast anyway

>>2143070
There is a reindeer outfit. I'm just unsure on how you got it.

>>2143060
>>2143073
Or maybe it was just the tricks increasing movement speed more and the base speed being the same. Or maybe there being more tricks just naturally results in more speed? I dunno, but Sweet Ride is supposed to be faster

Seems that i forgot to press the button. I'll use this opportunity to go grab water or something. Would appreciate it if you guys came back for me when you're done with the match.

I feel like the wait for that one was over too quickly.
>>2143090
I admit I only tested going on a straight line, still hard to justify it over Sonic Trick unless your opponent don't know how to block.

Bit the bullet, got the tree dress.

I will never financially recover for this, possibly ever.

>>2143099
Sweet Ride is still 100% broken for droning, but yeah it's not that useful in a fight unless your opponent doesn't know how to deal with it. Mainly just dodging around being unhittable and taking advantage of opportunities to sneak in an NA or BA is the way to go. If they're guarding then you have to risk a Break, if they can catch you then you need to switch to guarding and use Sweet Ride with two tricks (big weapon only) to speed up your kill times after you do your gumbind combo. It works but it's not ideal. If Break had armor during Sweet Ride then it'd at least have some decisive power in fights, but it's pretty much just for droning these days unless you force it

>>2137423
It's crazy because the concept is just way too good and I remember having some fun at launch before the terrible net code got too frustrating conbined with my increasing dislike for competitive games.
It's boggles my mind it never even really had a fotm period.

>>2143120
Right, I started to forget that collecting apples is the go to strategy of the game.
>>2143131
It depresses me the way Gungho has left this game to rot.

>>2143131
They released it with only two maps and two modes, plus no tutorial. It didn't have a chance. Very clearly rushed out by poor management before it was ready and then shot in the foot again after it spent two years improving from that sorry state by the same incompetent management forcing P2W on everyone. Do not trust the man in the Uncle Death mask.

I know they want to join, but the timing was bad. Might be a good time for a quick break if you need one

>>2143145
Like how much time of a break.

>>2143149
Sorry, wasn't sure

The matchmaking has been working quite well tonight. I think it only failed 3 times and while the opponents could be a bit better it at least fills me with a bit of hope knowing that the game isn't it dead yet.

>>2143183
Guess people have time to play during their Christmas break. Also I am going to try a drill with no Iron Bind so I may do horribly

File: bird BA miss to balloon break.webm (3.87 MB, 960x540)

3.87 MB WEBM

Neat, if the opponent dodges Bird Drill's BAs while a volley of Balloons is chasing them then that can lead to a guaranteed guard break. Need to try going for this more since Bird Drill doesn't have many options in face-to-face fights aside from its guard break setups. Very needy weapon since Balloons are so unreliable. MoC to bind with AltSP or Break, Hyena and Wall Shooter to let Balloon bind more easily, Iron Bind because it's extremely painful to use any Drill without it, and Giant Killer to pick up IPPONs when you can't bind; which will happen often since everything relies on its setups and binding mid-combo with the Hyena Balloon shotgun can also be unreliable if your position is bad.

>>2143138
Truly.
>>2143139
It's just crazy. They could always do a Ninjala 2 and make a big shift and maybe fix it.
Honestly, I've thought about trying it again, but from how this thread makes it sound, it's too dead a lot of the time and I'd bet I'd just get curb stomped anyways. A shame the single player content was just kind of there (and cost money)

>>2147228
Well, Team Battle is populated but then you have to play the teammate gacha and eat all the apples. We could potentially get a squad together for that though

I think you should jump in at Turf at least, we got plenty of matches on the first day.

Merry Christmas again, hope everyone had a nice holiday

>>2150779
Merry Christmas!
Shame Gungho didn't gift us with an entire week of Turf.

Could somebody knowledgeable explain how guard breaks work in Ninjala?

On the receiving end: I see a guard
break coming from a million miles away. So i do nothing. Just stand there. No directional input. No button pressed. And i get guard broken. lol

On the dealing end. I see a player blocking, like literally running around with the gum bubble. Aim, push guard break button. I hear the "thudd" sound file. They BLOCK my guard break. lol

Anyone else noticed these?

>>2152996
How it works is the game leaves your guard up for a bit after you block something, probably to make guard break setups work even in lag. What you need to do is use an action that forcibly cancels your guard. Dodges are generally the most reliable for this, although rarely you can get caught midair if you already used your dodge without resetting it via landing, midair jump, or getting hit.

The other way to cancel your guard is attacking, with the caveat that you can't be using an attack that has an auto-approach to it because you can guard cancel those auto-approach homing dashes and thus they don't cancel the guard because both actions are allowed to occur at the same time. If you're close enough then it'll skip the auto-approach to do the attack and this doesn't matter, but against ranged guard breaks like Drill's you might get hit from far enough away that the auto-approach kicks in and you don't cancel your guard in time So, attacks with no auto-approach like most of the SK8 moveset or most Specials are safest for this and if you're close enough then most other attacks are fine too. But if you can dodge, just do that.

As for people guarding your guard break, I'd need to see a clip of it. I've heard it happen to other people, but I've never seen it myself that I remember. Weird stuff does happen if two actions/reactions occur at the same time in this game, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was something like that. I've even seen Cannon guard cancel itself out of a gumbind before

Oh, and if you meant you didn't guard a projectile beforehand then it may have been the effect of Master of Change (webm related), the gum damage on Claws' Back Break Attack (the Break where they do a flip for the windup), or a delayed bind that you had stored. A delayed bind occurs when a gumbind and some other action like a break occur at the same time. You don't appear gumbound at first, but then the next attack that hits you triggers the gumbind with whatever gumbind duration is assigned to that attack. For example:

You could check on training mode to see if it's some latency issue.

Turf tomorrow

Anyone up for Turf?

>>2177442
Joining in 5 -G

>>2177442
I'm booting up the game in a bit for it. -WL

Glad i switched to the sword for that one

Another team, how rare.

>>2177504
Sometimes I wonder if we scared them all off over the years

>>2177517
It'd be nice to think that we're that much of a wall, but realistically those same people would be the ones with no qualms abot buying their way through.
With enough lab points you have nothing to fear.

>>2177520
Well, I guess part of it is that we blocked a lot of those people too. Was planning to empty the blocklist whenever things got unfucked, but that never happened.

>>2177523
I should probably take a look at my blocklist, i know it's full.
The thing is that I tailored it for BR, and Turfs is kinda the only playable mode now.
Would be nice to be able to unblock them all.

>>2177517
As funny as that would be, I still remember some people defeating us, shame that most of them were just unfun players.
>>2177520
Don't forget the obligatory poison AND barrier, because metafagging on regular team isn't enough.

I though it would fail since we were missing a 4th player at first, yet in the middle of it he was gone and it still ended a 3vs4.

>>2177544
Hey at least if they leave mid-game we can still play. We don't have to wait the 7+ minutes.

Speaking of poison AND barrier.

I wish we could see the lvl of most of this players

Weird, I don't think that scroll was actually there at the end, I should have triggered it when my lock-on decided to kill me

>>2177565
Yeah same, i accidentally homed in to someone in the range that i would've absolutely killed me in. That's a new one.

Also that match was 46-0, that's one point away from the max we've gotten it to.

It's crazy how many people think that they can win by just spamming ninjutsu in this mode. Pathetic.

Wish that Night-mare had some damage reduction at least, the fact that you can ninjutsu toward your death really hurt it.

HORSE RACE!

>>2177636
At least it's got projectile immunity after the startup, I suppose. Not sure if Stock 2 is really worth it on here considering you only need gum damage reduction for that short period when you activate it

I never understood why people bring Drone Hustle here.

>>2177653
Mostly because they dont do separate builds for turfs I suppose. Also it's easy to get max energy in relative safety and without hoping your teammates actually know what they're doing.

>>2177656
Still feels like a waste, then again not many people even try to get the best out of their slots.

Next one is my last for tonight, didn't think I would prolong it like this, guess seeing more and more people on this last hour made want to play more.

>>2177667
I'm not too far from stopping myself, my controller is running out of battery even though i charged it for this.

Ended pressing A again, guess one more won't hurt.
>>2177669
Well it's been 4 hours and the battery on these things tend to get a bit faulty at times.

Now for real time to go. What a nice 1st squad of the year, is nice to see that the game isn't dead even in it's maintenance mode. GGs and thanks for the squad!

>>2177694
Thanks for the games, it was fun! I'm surprised how many players we ran into. Guess people are finally done with the holidays and some of them have a new console to try out

Anyone up for some Turf before reset?

>>2179209
I can join in like 10 mins. -G

Might be able to join for a bit...
Going to set up some things first
-ko

>>2179261
>>2179272
Alright, let me know then

>>2179282
Ready to go. -G

>2 disconnects
Our blues weren't that scary.

>>2179361
Might have been my fault, I drilled one of them a couple times and they kept spinning in place for the rest of the match after the ragequit

Done with the stuff, ready to join.

Nice to see you again ko! Not too many people on today, but it's not dead at least

Either Kunai can detonate Dragon or I just BA dodged one with Ogre.

>>2179456
Probably the BA dodge, it's sudden movement that they have trouble with

Gotta go now, thanks for the games!

>>2179480
Thanks for the games, it was fun!

>Last match disconnect.
Well that blows.
Thanks for the squad!

>>2179491
Yeah, lame way to end it. Was a good day for Turf overall though, GGs!

I am once again asking for teams
I can’t solo the lab rats alone

>>2184484
Sure, I'm up for that -Ma

Oh, a Matsuri started.
