Anyone up for more Turf before reset? I'd be up for Team Battle to get the hachigane later tonight too, but not immediately after since I have stuff to do first
>>2684668yeah i'm up for both. -WL
>>2684668I do. -G
Dang, 45 points. Is that the most we've gotten?
>>2685147No, the max we've gotten is 47. It's basically rushing both points ASAP and not letting either go down ever.
To not even try, why play in the first place.
>>2685205If only the reporting system worked. I'm harassing him this game, tired of his shit. Don't join the mode if you aren't going to play.
>>2685205What's worse is that he did it twice. They could've held up decently with his team this match. Hell, they were doing ok up until HE shit the bed and left.
>>2685205And now instead of leaving he arsed around doing less than the literal actual children on his team.
Shame it's over. I don't mind joining for the team matches, though no right away gotta do some stuffs first.
>>2685246Of course, at the very end he joined his lab monkey teammate to spam horses out of spite. What a couple of scumbags, reported both of them anyway. Terrible note to end on, but GGs.>>2685249Me too, I'll post again when I'm free. I'd be up for it whenever once my stuff is done
Anybody up for 10 rounds of Team Battle for the hachigane? Doesn't have to be today, I'd be happy to join people for it whenever even after I get mine
>>2685738I can join now -G
>>2685807Did you need your 10 matches too, or were you just helping out?
>>268582110 matches, a shame Turf didn't count.
Two droners, not much we could have done except focus them separately
I have no respect for this mode and the peoeple therein and i must drone
I feel like I forgot the rhythm to this mode and droning, having big weapon right away in turf also spoiled me. Also fun discovery you can easily ruin the enemies parry with Volt Slash.
>>2685870Sadly that's all the mode is outside of rolling the teammate gacha. Still feels good to get IPPON Master over either of the surfboards who were harassing me with ghosts all match
>>2685870In any case i kinda realized that i don't even want to fight against these freaks. I will when I inevitably get forced into fighting or to put a thing out there to assist in a fight, but i want them as far away as possible from me on principle. It's not even fun to win a fight agaisnt them.
Oh wow.It's been so long since i've dignified this mode at all that i forgot that Shinobi City only has a drone per side at the start of the match. I did remember the mini ones though.
Man, Turnabout Guard on Beast actually feels pretty good. Love tanking a rocket and ignoring everything my opponents do until they mess up and get caught. It's keeping me alive in yo-yo mode surprisingly often too. I'm missing the ninjutsu and energy from Berserker though
>full party constantly covering each other>random was a dronerYeah that's a guaranteed loss alright
>>2685936Going from turfs to this is a shock to the system man. This is the last "playable" mode in the whole game that's not a special gamemode. This is what people play on the regular.Turfs really spoiled us with how it's comparatively better to the rest of the game.
That all for you, Gr?>>2685944It's genuinely impressive just how bad GungHo managed to make the entire game. Like it would be hard to do worse than this on purpose.
>>2685962Missing 1 match actually.
>>2685963Invited.
Finally free, thanks for the squad.
>>2685984Thank you! This mode is much more bearable with friends. GGs!
>>2685984GGs, it really is bearable when you have people suffering from the same disease alongside you.
>>2685987>>2686002Likewise and as dull as it was, I'm just glad we didn't ran into one of those full gold emblem DS.
>>2684170I still can't believe that Ninjala 2 is real and that this was the real reason why the first game lost support.
>>2686788Well, to be more precise it probably lost support because they rushed it out like dumbasses. Recent interviews say they considered it a success, so maybe they never had high hopes for it in the first place and just wanted to test the waters. Ninjala 2 seems to be addressing a lot of issues, complaints, and requests from the first game after all
https://youtube.com/shorts/24ux_5HgAF4Van has a fan club and a yandere stalker, apparently
>>2687378Ninjala 1 was rushed? Do you have evidence?
>>2688246It launched with 2 modes and 2 maps, only 2 years after the proof of concept they showed at TGS 2018. The playtest and season 1 were plagued with network issues. It did not even have a tutorial until season 5. I think it's a pretty safe bet.
>>2688246>>2688307On top of all of that. They were realeasing the singleplayer campaigns periodically. The sale of Soleil to Tencent grenaded the development of the singleplayer. The game is STILL incomplete to this day, we're missing 4 story modes.
Will they put some sort of Splatoon crossover in Ninjala 2? The game is switch exclusive so Nintendo has no reason to say no.
>>2689404It's possible, they have said they were interested early on in Ninjala 1's life, but I guess Nintendo didn't bite. They might be sick of the Splatoon comparisons by this point though
>>2689404What do you care, breast lover?
>>2690032What do you mean?
https://mp3sandnpcs.com/home/interview-game-director-motoki-kaneda-discusses-ninjala-2-the-uncharted-planetInterview seems to confirm that the game's story is the anime's story, but they need to figure out a way to connect them moving forward. Part 2 will likely be large-scale DLC, although it sounds like it'll be a ways off if they're still not even sure about that. They also explained why there's no Ninjala 1 and Ninjala 2 crossover stuff
So either they didn't pay attention or they decided to leave the episodes up for longer, because the first set is about 5 days past their "removal" date.
Why nobody dumps all the Ninjala 2 screenshots we have so fast?
>>2694351We did that last thread
>>2694376And this is a new thread with Ninjala 2 being the main theme, you guys should dump them (I can't do it myself because I am on a phone 100% of the time).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol2ggDEkRL0New footage from someone who actually knows how to play the game>>2694579I guess, but you can just look in the old thread for them too.
>>2695333Thank goodness
>>2695333New takeaways from this:>In addition to Attack (basic 4-hit combo), Strong Attack (charged wide sweep that spends weapon level), Aerial Attack (uncharged midair Strong Attack), and Drop Attack (charged midair Strong Attack), there's also a new Gum Boost-specific attack with a thrusting motion>You can move while gumbound>Remixes of Ninjala 1 songs are playing in the background of the expo, so you'll probably be able to change BGM>Emote wheel and emote menu are both a thing>Emotes are more animated>Working minecarts that can run over enemies>The new s-burst works out of blockstun>Fishing still exists>You can skateboard on water and Gum Boost or Gum Hook while skateboarding
>>2695978>Fishing still existsCan we use the fishes we catch to cook food?
>>2696576Yes actually, if you translate the fishing tutorial it says they can be sold or used for cooking
>>2696739YES! FINALLY! FISHING HAS A PURPOSE AND IT JUST NEEDED A WHILE NEW GAME FOR IT?
>>2696856*Whole*Change the "?" For a "!"FUCKING TYPOS
A clean look at that old Lucy render without the extra white cloth under the nets
>>2696856Feels like they're trying to do a lot of that this game. Many of the new systems are a response to player feedback, like no more touch-of-death combos, no more rock-paper-scissors, and obviously PvE. Gum grappling and gum mecha were actually suggestions I submitted ages ago as gum shoot and ninjutsu ideas, so I think they are directly implementing stuff that has been suggested or complained about. Weapon elements and perfect guards were also suggestions I remember a few people making over the years
>>2697231I understand getting rid of parries, parries were kinda dumb. Like objectively the only real reason to get into them is to dash away and reset to neutral. But getting rid of directional attacks? I feel like they were a pretty well realized part of the system. Dunno if whatever they have lined up can really replace them.
>>2697965That's one of my biggest concerns too, those were part of what made each weapon feel unique alongside gum shoot combos and now they're both gone. They actually have more attacks not, but for Katana it's looking like it may as well be the same number; Attack is NA, Strong Attack and Drop Attack are both WA, Aerial Attack and Gum Rush or the just dodge could reasonably be called BA, and Dash Attack(?) is similar to Break. The problem is that there are no directional finishers or anything, and each attack has less impact than before because of how the combat seems to work. Rather than touch-of-death combos where the way you get that first hit really matters, it seems like it'll be a back and forth of just guards and just dodges and Gum Hook movement while mashing the attack button and managing gauges. It doesn't really matter if you use Attack, Aerial Attack, or Dash Attack to catch someone since I suspect you won't be killing off it anyway. Once you get a gumbind, Gum Rush or throwing the opponent around is the only option aside from activating elemental effects. Considering how strong the defensive options are this time around, I'm worried that all the attacks we have to work with are pretty underwhelming. That could just be katana though, we don't know much about how the other weapons work yet.Also, parries did have a more niche use where you could gamble if there were multiple targets around and the odds were in your favor. Could steal a drone or defend yourself from third partying that way. But yeah considering how many people thought the game was just RPS I won't miss them. The new s-burst where you simply jump out of hitstun or blockstun seems fine
Seems like guard direction matters now. I think that the just dodge which replaces you with a log and makes you invisible will give you a means to work around an opponent's guard in PvP since guarding always makes you face the target when locked on and it'd be pretty tough to do that in a 1-on-1 otherwise>>2698430>They actually have more attacks not*now
>>2697965>>2698430You guys are still thinking in PvP terms, think in PvE terms.
>>2698634PvP was confirmed already and a lot of the changes they made were due to PvP complaints. There's always going to be less depth to PvE than PvP, so I'd rather think about the PvP aspect. Lack of difficulty is my main concern for PvE since a friend who never played Ninjala before beat Daimon by just mashing buttons and good players will have just guards and just dodges to make things even easier; not to mention the fact that having multiple people seems to make it possible to stunlock medium-sized enemies to death (although there will probably be flinch threshold scaling with multiple players compared to the NPC summons). I'm sure it'll still be fun even if it's easy, but giving players a wide variety of unique tools to work with can make up for lack of difficulty and it doesn't seem like we have that this time around since the weapons feel less unique and most of the new tools are generic stuff like grappling and items.
>>2698634No, I trust it for PvE. We don't exactly know how that one is going to come out but it's at the very least going to be harder to screw up than PvP.But they're also banking on this being the replacement of Ninjala 1 when PvP eventually drops, and they won't port the Ninjala 1 combat to it when they have the new system that they've been working on, plus the system that all the new players are going to be used to.What concerns me here is taking the stuff that wroked for Ninjala 1 away and hoping that the PvE combat translates well into PvP.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6peTcmFfX8New footage, looks like that "Descend" input was actually for a descending attack specifically when on the skateboard. What a weird input for it>>2700159They haven't decided what to do with Ninjala 1 yet, so if it doesn't work out they might go back and try to fix it up. Hoping they just get it right this time with 2 though, I like the new ninja models more. I'll probably leave feedback on the official site about making sure weapons feel unique enough and hoping that just guard/dodge won't be too strong for PvP so they can consider it early
>>2700245I don't know why they thought it was a good idea to play Shirankedo every five minutes at the booth but I'm already sick of it
>>2700258>I don't know>ShirankedoYou answered your own question
>>2700245Ok but like, They're making The Game 2, with NEW shiny new systems and active developer support. They're also making a product. I don't expect them to outright shut the game down when it does come out that'd be stupid, but on the business end of things it makes sense to entice the users of the old product onto the new shiny product 2.>>2700258It's almost like it's the song that they made to promote the game, played at the booth where the game is promoted.
>>2700259I guess that really was my answer tonight.>>2700260Of course they'd play it to promote it, but so often makes it anti-brainwashing and crosses into annoying.
>>2700259lel
>>2700245Looks like the attacks after Gum Hook and perfect guard might be unique too? Although other Gum Hook attacks seemed like basic Aerial Attacks, but this one that followed a Gum Hook-cancelled strong attack was different. Guess there may be a bunch of contextual actions we haven't seen yet. Wonder if there will be unique actions after using items you spawned like the karakuri in Wild Hearts>>2700260Sure, but it's GungHo; they have enough money to make as many poor business decisions as they want. If people go back to Ninjala 1 for PvP after 2's is out, maybe they'll do more patches for it. Doubtful, but there's a chance
>>2701584Scrap Saber has some attack that throws scrap at the opponent now, and you can pick the scrap back up to throw it at them again with the Gum Sling. Its 3-hit Attack combo has crazy range too, makes me wonder how Yo-yos are going to work if Scrap Saber's already got this much
Apparently Takayuki Kikuchi, the head of GungHo's systems division, was misappropriating company funds. First article is about the crime, second just confirms the guy they were talking about was involved with Ninjala since he's talking about how they used Amazon GameLift for its servers.https://www.sankei.com/article/20260708-ZWQEROWE35MCVNMCGJO32ZO72E/https://d1.awsstatic.com/case-studies/jp/pdf/gungho.pdf>In "Ninjala," the target frame rate for gameplay is 60fps, and to minimize latency caused by communication, the game automatically connects to the server in the most optimal location for the user. As a result, there were no latency issues in the countries where the service was available at the time of release.Guy was lying to people even in that report. I guess this might explain why the matchmaking was so bad and where all the money went
>>2705843>As a result, there were no latency issues in the countries where the service was available at the time of release.hahahaHAHAHAHAHAlmao[cries in Latam]>the target framerate for the gameplay is 60fpsyeah sure lol
Are you gummies ready for the new age of OCs that will come with ninjala 2?
I look forward to the new porn.
>the whole anime playlist is goneWhat the fuck?
>>2710966The unofficial one? I still see ithttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjvBjrg4BV1PoNKHFdWpPGofk6CKqWMm9
>>2711871Nah, the official one. Whole thing is just gone. Sadly seems like they realized like 20 episodes were past their time.Just sell them on youtube you assholes, I'd gladly buy seasons.
