Stripe

[rain pebble]

i haven’t gotten to try it, im like 14 hours away from home lol

[scenic sapphire]

He had one from his grab that forced the opponent to stick to him until they were at like, 200%

[rain pebble]

yo have yall seen the no.1 morty vs the no.1 stripe

[silk birch]

Is it on yt?

[rain pebble]

yeah, not tryna be mean but the stripe was kinda cheecks

[zinc smelt]

where?

[sweet turret]

He just camped with dynamite, was expecting a bit more honestly

[zinc smelt]

oh I'm watching it now

and I think this stripe has quite literally never played against morty in his life

[dapper lark]

The amount of people claiming to be the “number 1” in a game with no ranked mode is astounding

[rain pebble]

thats what im saying, no disrespect but that guy looks like his GAME was #1 not hes #1

[zinc smelt]

I will defend him by saying that by tourney results he is very good and I find it likely that a lot of it was matchup unfamiliarity which is a gigantic factor when it comes to even slightly longer sets in this game

[rain pebble]

i see your point

[pine fjord]

That was me 😭

Im not the #1 Stripe

I was just trolling when he asked me if i was #1

[pine fjord]

Dude…… HOW TF DO YOU PLAY AGAINST MORTY

Getting around dirt seemed like a chore

And this mf moved way too fast

I don’t really care tho. I thought it was funny that he called me #1 Stripe. Im getting hella cooked in the comments too

[visual sail]

hi yall! I'm a new stripe player, where should I start for learning combos etc? When I say new I mean new to stripe not the game

[pine fjord]

Jab is probably your main combo starter like most characters

[visual sail]

so like jab 12 into downair into whatever?

[pine fjord]

Yeah

Jab 12 into gun is true

That leads into another jab or up tilt

Dash attack is also a decent combo starter cause it leads into up air

[visual sail]

oh it does?

I didn't know that one

quick question: what's dynamite for? is it just a neutral skip and recovery?

[pine fjord]

Its just a really good option for both of what you said. Its also a great reaction tool. Say if a batman grapples you or a taz uses tornado, you can just use dynamite to beat those options and it also puts the target on them

[visual sail]

oh k

epic

I assume I always want to have one stocked

[rain pebble]

no way bro actually 😭😭😭

[pine fjord]

Yeah

Dude me and some others were laughing at the comments cooking me

Like i said i never fought a good morty so it was messed up

[rain pebble]

lmfao dude how did you manage to play wit him🤣

[pine fjord]

He asked AlphaStone (#1 Steven) to ply him for a video in the procord and i replied with “what about me :3”

Then he asked if i was #1 and i said “Probably cause im the only one”

As a joke

[rain pebble]

dude thats actually hilarious, ay bro my bad for talking smack 😭

[pine fjord]

Nah its all good

I played horrible that set

I got NO combos in

I got washed

[rain pebble]

we all have our bad moments lol

[pine fjord]

I thought it was funny

Was trynna take a game but sold a few kills

[rain pebble]

i played some small tiktok streamer a couple weeks ago, he played gizmo and i wanted to prove that stripes better (jokingly cuz yk he got wiped in the movie) so we 1v1 and i dont do too bad, but his gizmo was actually really good so he ended up beating my cheeks pretty bad 😭

[visual sail]

wdym stripe is better than gizmo, gizmo was just unbalanced. If stripe was so bad then how come gremlin's 2 exists? classic gizmo propaganda always forgetting the facts smh

gizmo was rebalanced

• Stripe was on top for 80% of his screentime

those are good numbers

[warm merlin]

They should draw a pfp out of that scene in gremlins where stripe was smoking and playing cards with his gremlin buddies at the bar it would look fire ngl

Also any combos for stripe I already know a few

?

[gusty iris]

What the community says

What community

This discord filled with casual players?

[shadow relic]

ye like 99% of players do not know what they are talking about

and thats ait, you dont have to be a comp player to have an opinion

but its often pretty unfounded LOL

[zinc smelt]

not the procord

nah I understand the existence of a "procord" after playing card games and being in several private testing servers

I used to think it was cringe but now I understand that 99% of everyone knows nothing about anything

[pine fjord]

People in there are chill

And you can actually hold a conversation in there about the game

[zinc smelt]

man

what's the minimum threshold of results

or will someone just go hey I know you you're good come to my server

[pine fjord]

Its public

Want an invite?

[rain pebble]

lemme get that too

[zinc smelt]

ye

I thought it was like

giga private

[pine fjord]

Nah

[zinc smelt]

I know that I'm good I just need to like

learn matchuos

so that I don't lose to fkn

iron giant steven in bracket

[pine fjord]

You can def ask for some friendlies and im sure they will be down to run it

[zinc smelt]

I didn't fight a single good character in my last tourney and I was getting washed cause I didn't know what they were doing lul

[rain pebble]

ay im in méxico rn and leaving back home tmr, maybe when i get back if you’re down we can run some 1v1s maybe even 2v2s

[pine fjord]

Sure i would be down if im available

[rain pebble]

heck yeah, ill let you know

[void wedge]

that's what I wanna know

I got totally washed by one recently and idk how to approach the match up at all

[rain pebble]

morty is actually really annoying to play against, and all i can really say is you gotta use gun a lot, also skateboard pushes through his projectiles except for mud wall i think, thats all i can really say

[hard sigil]

I almost have 7,000 wins with stripe. Just need 72 more wins😃

[rain pebble]

thats such a w, ima be honest, ive played stripe since he came out in beta, and ive hes been my main since, but i got really bored of playing beta a little after he came out so i stopped playing, so rn i think i only have like 200 something wins😭

[silk birch]

Lmao, I need to see the video now

[visual sail]

hey yall quick question

I keep hearing ppl talk about gun cancelling on stripe?

how do I do that

seems fun :3

[warm merlin]

Just found something broken with stripe

[rain pebble]

the way ive always done it was as soon as i press the button to shoot i dodge as soon as my finger touches the button, im sure theres other ways, i hope thats what you meant

[rain pebble]

peak??

[warm merlin]

Can just spam bomb as soon as you reach 100 damage your already pretty close to death so who cares about the damage this is even more broke when your opponent just respawns this is actually funny

This sounds stupid on paper but they can't even stop me as soon as I launch at them with bomb

Just to get damage on you opponent before you die too

[rain pebble]

i love his bomb, especially since it breaks armor, its just so satisfying

[warm merlin]

Ikkk I hope they don't nerf what I just said and give it a cool down again

[rain pebble]

#buffstripe

[turbid remnant]

Don’t trust the number 1 title cause that just fake clickbait

[rain pebble]

lmfao we had a whole conversation about it champ dont worry

[void wedge]

if you're the first person to say you're number 1 then you're number 1. I don't make the rules

[pine fjord]

Exactly

You cant doubt me now when i say im #1 Stripe

Its clearly true

[rain pebble]

brother is number one

[shadow relic]

personally i bow my head low and will show reverance

i dont make the rules i just follow them

[zinc smelt]

nuh uh

[rain pebble]

mr #1 what build you using for stripe?

[pine fjord]

Boom bounce
Flammable
Dash attack armor break
Pugilist

[rain pebble]

w thats what i use

[shadow relic]

you should use a second setup for when you are not against armor tho

like the rest of that I use but why would i run armor break vs Gizmo f.ex

[rain pebble]

dont worry i have like 3 the other one i use instead of dash amor break, i use the speed boost one

[shadow relic]

ye same lol

[rain pebble]

and the other one instead of speed boost its the 100 one

[shadow relic]

i was using last stand because it felt nice to self damage when at 90% and get it to 100% but the fact you self inflict weakness when using dynamite into the ground is really wack

[rain pebble]

i have 3 sets, but i mainly use the speed boost one

[rain pebble]

lol

[shadow relic]

i wanna experiment with airwalker because its very funny if you use sawblade on it but its not like..good

but like maybe

[rain pebble]

ive never actually seen people use it😭

[zinc smelt]

I think well balanced is probably still better

[jagged shard]

for non armor characters I switch out dash armor break for speed and pugilist for the one that gives u all ur air resources back on kos because I wanna get really aggressive against the non-defensive characters

[void wedge]

I still take it even then, it's a good perk.

[green pilot]

There's no leaderboards anymore to prove I'm #1

But there's also nothing to prove I'm not

So if you can't provide proof then I guess I'm the best

[dry hemlock]

multiversus devs love removing more than they add

we wont see leaderboards or ranked for years

[turbid remnant]

True

[frosty cave]

alright what’s my best approach?

i feel like stripe has a bit of a hard time landing hits rn

[jagged shard]

Probably dynamite

Following behind a sawblade can be good too

[dry hemlock]

yeah stripe can be really predictable

people get too ballsy with sawblade i think

they throw it and then just jump into their enemy's attack bc they baited a jump

[frosty cave]

i just don’t like dynamite damaging me to approach

but it does work

[pine fjord]

Dynamite and dash attack are good options

I throw out skateboard every now and then as a mix up

[frosty cave]

does dash attack have a true followup?

[pine fjord]

Up air

[frosty cave]

bruh why haven’t i been doing that

[pine fjord]

It also puts target on them so its really good

Kills at 100 sometimes

[pine fjord]

most stripes i see dont use it much

The burst range is crazy

Its just when you whiff the move its easy to punish

[frosty cave]

yea dash attack is great i use it to kill a lot but never used it in neutral for damage or ladder potential

i just started really playing stripe yesterday

[pine fjord]

Im a one trick

[frosty cave]

hit a 0-death already

[pine fjord]

So I know most about the character

Gun cancels are def a go-to to understand

On ground and in air

[frosty cave]

i’m a morty player but i want a secondary that isn’t braindead

yea i can gun cancel i just need to get used to the pulling them towards me canceling into up air

i watched void’s video for the tech it’s just a movement i’m not used to rn

[pine fjord]

That tech was useless for me 😭

I thought it was some revolutionary tech but it was something i knew since launch

[frosty cave]

i knew he could do it but i learned about the pull before i knew about the cancel so i didn’t know how to apply it

i was walking before i could crawl so to speak

[pine fjord]

You can also use it to drag them towards the blastzone. Gun into sair is really good

Also useful to extend jab combos

[frosty cave]

yea i’ve done gun into sair a bunch gun into up air for some reason my brain just doesn’t wanna do it

[pine fjord]

Its definitely not easy to do

Do you use skateboard?

[frosty cave]

#clips message

i use the jab extension when i can actually land a jab

i actually use skateboard a lot

i use skateboard a little more than i should actually

[pine fjord]

I love using it

Its hard to punish

If you use it right

[pine fjord]

That jab extension is just a knowledge check on if you know how to DI it

Once they do i go for up tilt instead of the jab

[frosty cave]

yea i noticed it’s not always true but have been a little too slow to adapt to different DI

yea skateboard being able to push multiple times before the whiff lag is kinda crazy

i’ve caught people off guard a lot

[pine fjord]

That kickflip hitbox last for so long too

People just get hit by it randomly

[frosty cave]

and it’s a kill confirm and blocks projectiles

i really really like skateboard lol

[pine fjord]

It what helps make Bugs a good MU imo

That and dash attack

[frosty cave]

yeaaa facts

atm i just have a hard time actually putting on damage i think

landing jab can be rough

[pine fjord]

Thats why i randomly throw out dynamite

Once you get the target getting damage should be easy-ish

[frosty cave]

yea i felt that

i’ll try dynamite a bit more than i do

[pine fjord]

Do you use boom bounce?

The sig perk?

[rain pebble]

tbh bro, they should bring back his other signature perk

[pine fjord]

That perk was broken

[rain pebble]

i had a crazy build with it

[frosty cave]

yea i have it

[pine fjord]

Yeah definitely use it

[rain pebble]

gremlins map soon🍽️

[visual sail]

chat what are stripe's best kill confirms off of jab?

I was toying with jab12 backgun dash attack

[pine fjord]

Jab 2 dair gun is reliable

Jab 2 gun uptilt up air gun

[visual sail]

ah k that's what I normally do, I was just wondering if there was a thing that killed at lower percent

[visual sail]

is it gun back into backdash into uptilt?

like gun pull in or gun push away

[pine fjord]

I hit that once yeah

Lemme find the clip and post it

#clips message

[visual sail]

ooh interesting

[pine fjord]

Doesnt really kill early

[visual sail]

I was doing smth really weird

so you know that tech where you pull em into you with gun? I was doing that backdash dash attack

that seems far easier

omg

what you did

[pine fjord]

Yeah that seems way too complicated

[visual sail]

it is I've only hit it like twice lmao

[pine fjord]

I just go for the simple kill confirms

[visual sail]

is this better than gun dair gun?

what's the difference with them

wait

no

jab12 dair gun

srry I mispeak

[pine fjord]

The up tilt into up air brings them closer to the blastzone

[visual sail]

aah k

gotcha

[pine fjord]

Might be used to kill earlier idk

[visual sail]

what's stripe's best damage bombo

[pine fjord]

I havent really labbed out the kill percents

[visual sail]

I thought it was jab 12 downair upair into etc.

cus like the jabs downair upair deal a lotta d and if you have dynamite you can use that or just try to read a dodge with chainsaw

at low percent upair connects

[pine fjord]

Probably Jab 2 gun jab 2 dair upair

[visual sail]

ooooh right oki

[pine fjord]

Then you can go for an airdodge read

Then dair again

And they will probably bounce off the stage so you can go for another dair

[visual sail]

how do you do the jab 2 gun jab2?

like gun dodge jab2

is it gun push or gun pull also? does DI mess with that?

srry if these are a lot of questions

[pine fjord]

Yeah

[pine fjord]

Gun push

[visual sail]

oki

[pine fjord]

It is very DI dependent

If they di in go for up tilt if they di out go for another jab

[visual sail]

I just did another jab on di in

like

jab 2 gun swap directions jab 12

works in di in

so that's neat

[visual sail]

wait all 3 bullets?

or just 1

cus I've been doing just 1

[pine fjord]

Just 1

[visual sail]

ah k

good

oooh the saw chainsaw combo into upair to kill at 80 omg

stripe is the sickest character

[pine fjord]

Can you get a clip of this?

[visual sail]

my clip capture aint working :c

nividia shadowplay my behated

[pine fjord]

I need to see that

[visual sail]

I'm sorry

aaah

[pine fjord]

Nah all good

[visual sail]

I can describe it, taz was at like 50 I hit a saw that was running on the ground connected a chainsaw off that and hit him with upair after that near top of the blastzone

he didnt dodge so I think it was true

[pine fjord]

Chainsaw doesnt combo into anything i think

[visual sail]

it was on scooby doo map so low blastzone

[pine fjord]

But maybe

[visual sail]

maybe it's percentage based

[pine fjord]

I never had a combo from chainsaw

I also hate using that move

[visual sail]

chainsaw I really like in combos to read dodges but other than that not great

I dislike the way it sends them so I can't follow up unless I gun pull them at high percent

but it is really satisfying to hit raw

so

that makes up for it

like as a prediction of "oooh are you gonna do this?"

great move

but everything else Is kinda mid

with chainsaw

I wish we had ranked aaaaaah, I have no clear basis for how good my stripe is

85% winrate is cool tho

wait is my clip capture working again?

NVIDIA SHADOWPLAY HAS THE WORST TIMING OMFG

[rain pebble]

its me stripe

[pine fjord]

I just compete in tournaments

Got 17th today which is aight

[rain pebble]

bro we should do a 2v2

[pine fjord]

I dont play 2s

[rain pebble]

brotherrrr

[pine fjord]

I dont even like using it like that

[rain pebble]

i wanna play in a tournament but im in mexico, and theres a hella bad fire in my area so theres no wifi😞

[pine fjord]

zamn

Thats rough

Tournaments are fun

[rain pebble]

yeah unfortunate

[rain pebble]

i just never knew how to participate

[pine fjord]

Almost got the first Stripe top 8 at a big event

[rain pebble]

W

whens a next tournament

[pine fjord]

Tomorrow

Frostiversus

[rain pebble]

oh yeah i was looking at that, cant make it tho, im driving home tomorrow, maybe i can but the chances are slim

what about the next one after tmr

[visual sail]

oh right, what clip capture software do you use? cus nvidia shadowplay is driving me insane it just randomly turns off

I've no clue how to fix it either

[pine fjord]

I play on PS4 so i gotta clip it. Then Upload the clip to YT. Then use a video downloader to get the clip

😭

[visual sail]

darn

[rain pebble]

lmafoo that sounds complicated

[pine fjord]

yeah its annoying

[rain pebble]

i just clip it n download it from the app

[hard sigil]

Anyone down for a ditto scrim??? Just gotta prove I’m the best

[pine fjord]

Im the best

[hard sigil]

You down to scrim for funsies???

[pine fjord]

Uhhh sure

Lemme get out of bed

[rain pebble]

me 2

[pine fjord]

Whats your ign?

[hard sigil]

Lemme hop off out of my bed too lmaoo

My ign is Mrdarknightt

Send me a invite again @pine fjord

[jagged shard]

has anyone made a stripe discord yet?

[pine fjord]

Nah

[pine fjord]

Lmao i hate the Stripe ditto

[hard sigil]

It’s fun tho

[pine fjord]

Im playing eh rn

12am 😭

[hard sigil]

Same just got off my bed

[pine fjord]

Lmao im hopping off

[hard sigil]

Ight man Ggs

[pine fjord]

Im falling asleep ngl

[hard sigil]

Good night broski🤗

[pine fjord]

Was not worth getting out of bed 💀

I was just running in brainlessly

Learned about uptilt up b

[rain pebble]

whats you favorite combo?

[pine fjord]

Jab 2 Gun Uptilt Dair

[rain pebble]

w

[jagged shard]

gun in > up air is so satisfying too

[rain pebble]

it feels like ages since ive played

[visual sail]

chat

I just hit

jab 12 gun jab 12 gun jab 12 gun dash attack

IT MADE THEM RAGEQUIT AHAHAHAHHAAHAH

stripe is so fun

[rain pebble]

w

[visual sail]

chat how tf do I fight morty as stripe

[rain pebble]

skateboard, mainly cuz it blocks his projectiles

[visual sail]

does it block earth?

dear god how I hate that move

[rain pebble]

i think thats the only one it doesn’t block, i have a friend who can 1v1 me with morty so i can figure out how to fight him better

[visual sail]

oki

pls get back to me

[rain pebble]

i will, as soon as i possibly can

[green pilot]

Earth in general just seems annoying across the board

Pretty sure they just removed the range limit on it so it's really annoying to deal with

[normal plume]

Just check if the move counts as a projectile in training

A lot of moves that stripe cant eat arent considered projectiles

[normal plume]

Can confirm

Esrth isnt a projectile

[frosty cave]

nah it’s not anymore

it was in beta

[visual sail]

@pine fjord hey so I know you said stripe uptilt into upair was a good kill confirm, but stripe uptilt 1 uptilt 2 kills way earlier

I just test it

you need gun to get uptilt into upair to kill

but uptilit 12 doesn't

it kills at 80 with gun

[turbid remnant]

They can DI out of 2nd up tilt and it never lands for smaller characters

which is why canceling it into up air is usually better

[visual sail]

oooh so that's why it felt inconsistent!

thank you

ok that makes sense

[pine fjord]

Yeah the 2nd up tilt is so bad

[rain pebble]

bro stupid fire burnt down the place that provides wifi, and the service barely works💀💀💀

[north trellis]

Just hold out and you’ll never get hit by up tilt 2, I’ve seen it miss on iron giant before

[zinc smelt]

even if they DI you can reverse the second utilt

and hit them anyway

[visual sail]

does di up mess with it?

[zinc smelt]

idts

super high %s mess it up

but at that point usually uair kills anyway

[silk birch]

I keep racking up a ton of damage but can suck at just confirming kills sometimes

Is there any optimal or good confirms off jab that anyone uses?

I wonder if I am doing it wrong

[pine fjord]

Jab 2 dair into gun

[frosty cave]

yeyou can up tilt uair out of jab too

[zinc smelt]

jab goes into dair which can go into dc uair which can go into gun or you go dair gun or you just go utilt12 reacting to DI

then later utilt1 uair (then sometimes gun) works once utilt raw becomes unreliable

you can also do funky things at mid % like jab dair dair uair gun

[thorny raptor]

Whats that best kit for stripe? I use flammable doc, speed, and pugilist plus the dynamite perk.

Probably is trash but made me won ton of matches.

[rain pebble]

most of us use that exact same setup

[thorny raptor]

What do you use?

[rain pebble]

the same you do

[silk birch]

Do people not run last stand because it can self inflict with dynamite?

And how much of a difference does speed assist actually make

[thorny raptor]

That slight speed makes not need to spend dodges for punishing opponents.

If someone fails a dash attack, that speed makes you counter with an aerial gaining a ton of momentum.

Stripe depends a lot of momentum for comboing and any extra speed is appreciated.

And by the way, last stand doesn't gain a lot of value in stripe. Is a light character and is too risky.

Unless you spam dynamite, but last stand doesn't apply in the same movement in a row.

So is barely profitable.

[silk birch]

I see

Thanks for the insight

[rain pebble]

yo chat, might be a month or so before i can play stripe again

[zinc smelt]

what the fish

[rain pebble]

yeah bruh, no wifi, and i cant connect to my hotspot with this doodoo service

[pine fjord]

There is a Stripe discord server that was just made if yall want to join

[thorny raptor]

What's stripe movement speed

[pine fjord]

I dont know 😭

[loud robin]

Chuck us an invite pls

[thorny raptor]

700?

[pine fjord]

I dont know at all. I cant even give you a guess

[void wedge]

one of the worst things about Stripe in 2s is his ANTI synergy with WW

She incidentally gives you armor, which at best disables your usage of dynamite, and at worst you don't realize you're armored, waste dynamite, and take free damage.

[autumn sphinx]

Steven does the same with his forcefield thing

[drowsy wigeon]

Pass us one bruzzah

[visual sail]

chat someone keeps talking about a dynamite tech

what is that

[autumn sphinx]

Dynamite still does knockback and damage to your opponent when you have armor, right? Just doesn't launch you?

[visual sail]

nevermind

[lean iris]

whats the Stripe dc?

[frosty cave]

dc?

[lean iris]

oh meant discord sorry lol

[pine fjord]

I dm’d you it

[jagged shard]

There's a stripe discord now?

Yippee!!!

Could I get an invite? :D

[thorny raptor]

Wow you can actually pull some op combos with he's the leader, I love this perk.

[north trellis]

Send clips?

[thorny raptor]

On my way. But if you want to know, you can use your own saw projectile as a plataform

[north trellis]

Are they true combos?

[thorny raptor]

Nar, but, not at all, but still it has potential

#clips message

[whole steeple]

Did stripe get a buff?

[wind raven]

No buff was mentioned. Supposedly, the only thing changed was adding a timer to his dynamite, preventing you from holding onto it indefinitely

[silk birch]

Thats probably a healthy change

[modest galleon]

Dynamite nerf has me crying

[dapper lark]

5 seconds seems way too low

I get indefinitely was kind of just giving you a tool to use whenever

But like it should probably be doubled to 10 seconds

[dry hemlock]

They dynamite having no cooldown was so nice.... And they put it back

More reverting

I dont see a problem with holding dynamite when you can hold pie and sandwhich

[dapper lark]

You can’t use any grounded or aerial moves while holding sandwich

Bugs can hold pie and still have access to all his moves

[dapper lark]

You could in beta

I hope they give dynamite a longer fuse timer in the future because I definitely think 5 seconds is way too low

[frosty cave]

it’s not too low, just means you have to be deliberate with it

if you needed to indefinitely hold onto dynamite you’re carried looool

..respectfully

[pulsar zealot]

whan an argument

If they know u have to use dynamite in 5secs, u can't hit the attack against a decent player

they could add it cooldown after using it not killing the move

[normal plume]

Just use it mid string to help chase

Altho idk if i'd want to like drop a combo for pulling it out or something

Maybe when they're off stage and arent a character good at stalling?

We'll see

[shadow relic]

Stripe kept gun loops you should be celebrating lmao

and this change could be..interesting

[loud robin]

whats the gun loop

[worn beacon]

that's what I'm sayin'

[north trellis]

Nah dude holding dynamite and camping was like the go to strat against characters that had an easy time approaching stripe

Having a threat range that large makes it so people can’t just run up right in your face so easily when buzzsaw is down

[frosty cave]

jab 1-2 gunshot dodge cancel repeat

[gusty iris]

This still feels a waste to me your basically putting one of your kill options on a timer just to get some damage in

Unfortunate with dynamite nerf. But it depends on what the rest of the cast gets done as well

[frosty cave]

i was just answering what the loop is

also if they DI wrong you can 0-death 🤷🏻‍♀️

i don’t think the dynamite nerf is as back as yall think 5 seconds is a long time in this game

[gusty iris]

Nerf is a nerf

But any nerf is dependant on the overall game state

If anyone di wrong they can die in this game also

Not exactly super unique

Maybe such a strategy is better in 1v1 I dunno

[shadow relic]

people keep saying stuff like this and it perplexes me because gun has a super low cd and its a whole lot better to actually use the move to get damage than just not using it at all

gun is always best used in short bursts it should always be on cd for at least 1 charge so you are using it as much as possible

[gusty iris]

Only one charge means half the kill potential on a character who only other good kill option is a down spike most of the time

[north trellis]

Idk, at least before the dynamite nerfs just holding it my hand allows me to slow down the game significantly to the point where using bullets on gun loops doesn’t matter because by the time I need bullets again I usually have all 3

[shadow relic]

im curious about what this change will entail because its not like the dynamite will just time out it will explode

meaning a ftilt combo into uair time for when it explodes means you just kill them lol

[north trellis]

Will it still launch me is my big question

I know I’ll be seething if I’m trying to juggle someone and my timer runs out and I launch myself into the top blastzone

Or if I have to ditch a combo/confirm I’m doing because I pulled dynamite in disadvantage right before reversaling my opponent

[shadow relic]

i assume it will act as if you activate it when the timer goes out

meaning you can and will be punished for bad dynamite pulls

based on the fact its listed as a change not a nerf i would have to assume it will act like such

if it was just a 5 second timer and then it went away then its just a nerf not a change

i think this will in the end be MUCH harder to use but stronger once mastered

[north trellis]

I’ll have to look into it when I’m home from work then

[frosty cave]

as it should be

[shadow relic]

agreed

[frosty cave]

dynamite way too strong for no drawback besides some ignite dmg

[shadow relic]

i mean as said, if it works how I think its gonna work then I imagine it will genuinly be VERY strong

just potentially punishing

[compact trail]

anything to make me have to actually think while playing stripe is a good thing

[hard sigil]

Skill issue if you depend on dynamite

[ember dust]

Regarding the new changes to Dynamite:
There is a visual indicator on how long is left until detonation, and when it does it will launch you as normal

[hard sigil]

What’s y’all guys input settings???

[shadow relic]

LMAO THIS CHANGE IS SO TOXIC

the timer does seem to pause if you are in hitstun but if you hold dynamite the opponent just does not want to combo you because if the timer is low the moment the combo has any opening you just explode lmao

you can also dodge the explosion if you really wanna avoid a bad dynamite if you are in neutral

and the combo applications are amazing

im so sure this is a buff and nothing else now

[gusty iris]

So I looked at overall changes

Honestly stripe will be either the same or better in relation to most of the cast now

Most characters received a bevy of nerfs

[gusty iris]

@frosty cave I'm sorry

No thinking for you

[frosty cave]

what

[shadow relic]

i mean i was wrong about the timer pausing

but ye this is awesome

stripe got buffed lmao

[gusty iris]

In 2s I'm gonna time a kamikaze run and just move into the group as they all dodge away and I di into one of them

[north trellis]

Wait does the dynamite timer pause if you’re locked in an animation?

[shadow relic]

nah

was wrong about that

[north trellis]

So it cancel the lag of a move early into the dynamite explosion?

[shadow relic]

oh ye if the timer goes down mid the enemy jabbing you

you just combo break for free

[north trellis]

Nah I mean I’m doing an attack

And it cancels the endlag after the attack

[shadow relic]

it will interrupt whatever you are doing

[north trellis]

Goated change

[cursive vault]

W combo breaks

[north trellis]

True dynamite combos are goated

Especially up tilt into dynamite tipper sweet spot

[shadow relic]

so its 0 startup like you can pull dynamite ftilt>gun>ftilt>utilt>uair and then dynamite explodes and just kills them lol

[north trellis]

Let’s go

[gusty iris]

And this is why you need patience and don't immediately assume it will be a overall net negative change 😂

[shadow relic]

i mean I told y'all LOL

this is 100% getting nerfed

either changed in some way or they just add dynamite charges back or some crap

ill just enjoy myself while i can

[gusty iris]

Classic pfg not really knowing what they doing

[shadow relic]

for real

[gusty iris]

I'll have fun with it

And I'll make the bad faith arguments that he needs it

[shadow relic]

ill help

[pine fjord]

The dynamite change is lowkey a buff imo

[shadow relic]

highkey

im a firm believer that its just a buff lmao

[pine fjord]

Yeah its crazy

Unlocks so many new combos

And you can have a hitbox when you dodge

[silk birch]

You can parry your own blast which is funny

[shadow relic]

Better to dodge it

[silk birch]

Oh yeah definitely

[gusty iris]

This right here is the big thing

Turns you into a really wreckless gremlin grenade

[worn beacon]

Crazy how Harley's bomb deals no damage when she's holding it

but the same change made Stripe a lot saucier

[north trellis]

I'm ngl lots of zoner matchups feel a lot harder now

Honestly more than just zoners matchups

I used to be able to hold dynamite and camp which made people with faster buttons from rushing in and mashing but I don't have the option anymore without committing to exploding dynamite

[dim cipher]

I feel like I’m using Stripe wrong

[thorny raptor]

This change is a buff, no a nerf

[north trellis]

I disagree

[thorny raptor]

Why would you don't like canceling enemy combos?

[north trellis]

because most people don't bother doing combos when I'm holding it they'll just swat me away

if I'm really lucky it detonates while I'm trying to DI and die or lose even more stag control

idk, I can definitely see it being a buff for a more aggressive playstyle, but for me, who plays for timeouts, this definitely changes the game in a way I don't really like

[thorny raptor]

Stripe is completely an aggressive character, he has all the tools to rush while zoning into an enemy

Playing defensively with stripe is like not playing him, you will be always be in constant pressure victim if you are not the pressure bully.

[north trellis]

not if I have a burst range the size of the entire stage

[compact trail]

how do people not know what to do when i just spam the skateboard across the stage for laughs

[normal plume]

Why are you playing for time in a 7 minute game format

[north trellis]

I do it in smash too

[normal plume]

Try superman

He does it well

Or black Adam shockingly enough

Super safe, good escapes, good movement

And if you get impatient you die at 0

[north trellis]

god I hate black adam so much lmao that character makes me seethe

[sweet turret]

Sawblade also exists. Oh wait, it gets clanked out by every attack

[north trellis]

I read just the first sentence at first and I was about to go completely insane

[sweet turret]

Lol. I don't get why sawblade can just be snuffed out though. If that's the case at least give him 2 like in beta

[north trellis]

I think I’d take 2 saw blades over the one having more priority

Makes me feel cool

[sweet turret]

Same here

Though if they gave it more priority I wouldn't be too mad either

[whole steeple]

[dim cipher]

What’s the best perks for Stripe?

[compact trail]

1v1s or 2v2s

[short dew]

I usually just use the 5% thing and pugilist but I feel like the bomb one is also good if you’re good with it… never had much success with the one where you cling to projectiles personally (skill issue)

[dim cipher]

Both

[shadow relic]

its between dynamite or just the 5%

as far as the signature goes

for the rest its about matchups

[compact trail]

i find 5% to be far more useful

[shadow relic]

with the dynamite perk its possible (and realistic) for dynamite to 27% so I generally enjoy it lol

but yes the 5% is likely still better

[compact trail]

picking up dynamite for the meme as we speak

[shadow relic]

i mean it IS good

i would have a harder time arguing its use over the 5% usually

ill say for some matchups its genuinly the best option

it lets you delete jerry in a the t&j mu

[dim cipher]

I feel I’m not using Stripe right

[thorny raptor]

Dynamite Will always be the best perk, if you hit the dash, the first explosion, the second explosion and the second dash you will deal around nearly 40 damage

[compact trail]

ok but i can do that with one combo with 5% and have my kit be more well-rounded anyway

[north trellis]

Me when I deal like 5 more damage every stock

[thorny raptor]

That's not how it works, perks like pugilist, snowball effect and well rounded are not picked by that extra decimal damage. They are picked by how knockback an damage works in this game. The damage increase also increases the knockback.

So if a character has 1000 knockback in an ability, that ability will gain 22% additional knockback thanks to the sum of the perks.that would be 1220 knockback.

The extra damage is just miserable but since damage and knockback work as a whole, the combo o perks is broken and most picked for that reason.

That's why many characters kill so early, because the default pugilist perk is in almost every build set and as start gives 10% additional knockback and damage.

If you want a lot of knockback, go well rounded, but If what you want is damage, dynamite is op.

[scenic sapphire]

The bomb exploding while the opponent combos you is funny

[dapper lark]

There is something your missing. Damage and knockback also affects hitstun too albeit to a lesser extent than the others

[thorny raptor]

Ah yes I forgot that too

[thorny raptor]

But in summary, since hitstun and knockback are calculated in 4 decimal numbers, the percent bonus is more higher and profitable than on decimal number numbers on damage.

[normal plume]

Ngl stripes

We got buffed this patch

Life is good

[silk birch]

Real

Also feels more skill expressive in terms of usage

[shadow relic]

litterly what ive been saying

[north trellis]

Idk man, whenever I’m against strong players it seems pretty useless outside of niche scenarios

[shadow relic]

Hank no offense here

but thinking this is anything but a buff is a skill issue

[north trellis]

We should run some games then

[shadow relic]

are you eu

because id rather not have it be a laggy mess

because yes im down to play some matches but id prefer if you leave your ego out of it lmao

[silk birch]

I play NA but I swear EUs connection got worse today

[shadow relic]

i mean i think the rollback is generally good but some people just got poopy internet lmao

[silk birch]

Ran some customs and kept getting poor connection quality messages

[shadow relic]

went up against the laggiest garnet a bit ago

[north trellis]

Unfortunately no, Im NA

[shadow relic]

im down to try still

[north trellis]

I’d be down once I finish eating sure

[shadow relic]

estimate?

[north trellis]

20-25 min

[shadow relic]

lets put it in the backburner then and try tomorrow

its already 2:20 am for me LOL

need to sleep soon

ill dm you some time tomorrow and we can find a time that fits

[north trellis]

Alright cool

I’m not sure what time zone you’re in but around 10-11 CST would be ideal for me

[shadow relic]

am or pm

makes a pretty big difference as far as logistics go LOL

cus im in cest

[north trellis]

10-11 am CST

[shadow relic]

ye that can work no problem

[tame summit]

Question how easy is stripe and can he be played aggressively

[silk birch]

He requires a little bit of knowledge on how his techs work

He is super aggressive

[shadow relic]

i gotta assume this is not a new combo but I am finally labbing reverse gun a bit more

https://medal.tv/games/multiversus/clips/icqKI0xofVysduZbZ/d1337T8h0yU8?invite=cr-MSxDSmssODQyMzQxODUs

gotta have a clip like this ready for when people say using gun loops is bad or some crap lmao

[normal plume]

Going to lab to try this

Tried this in game and the gun bugged 3 times

[normal plume]

How are you hitting reverse gun into up air

Mine is simply hitting them down

[shadow relic]

gotta hold back and then press neutral attack

forces reverse gun

so you can pull

[normal plume]

No no i understand how to input reverse gun

Hold on let me clip it

[shadow relic]

kk

[normal plume]

Oh i have to dodge cancel the gun into up air

I thought i could just reverse gun into up air

[shadow relic]

ohh ok ye

has to be a dodge cancel yes

in general dodge cancel pull gun is craazy

free combos

[normal plume]

Banger combo, stripe eats dodge meter like crazy

[shadow relic]

lmao ye

[short dew]

Used to have roughly a 55% winrate before I played Stripe… now even if I lose I get most of the kills… feels so goooood… thank you Stripe 🙏

[limpid ore]

Anybody who played in the beta, could Stripe equip or bite the dynamite without consuming an aerial ability back then or I remember it wrong?

[normal plume]

You remember wrong

[limpid ore]

I could have sworn one of the 2 was free... I remember I checked if I could in the beta lab but obviously can't remember the results.

Anyway, I've seen a post on reddit where a bot or something had equipped the "Fed After Midnight" perk that is no longer in the game.
The effect was totally different though.

https://www.reddit.com/r/MultiVersus/comments/1dx4ihi/stripes_perk_removed/

[short dew]

Honestly I’m all for more characters using great health, especially if they ever make it so the anti-armor perks don’t affect it… I don’t really remember that tho

[limpid ore]

It should make you tankier, which seems pretty good on paper.
Then again I'll miss giving Batman his own bomb back 💣

[pine fjord]

Stripe Vs. Heavies blows

His combos dont work 😭

[sweet turret]

It's all fun and games until you still can't kill IG even at 160 lol

[rancid scaffold]

[weak lily]

hello, im making an agent smith matchup chart and im looking for a stripe player to test some gorunds with this matchup, should really only need like 5 games to get a good understanding of the matchup

[north trellis]

I'm down

Lmk if you're still available

[weak lily]

hella yeah

ill make a room

user?

[north trellis]

HankSteelVEVO

[weak lily]

i dont really fight stripes that often so this'll be a big mu check for me lol

[north trellis]

I think this matchup is pretty even, stripe might win just by a bit

[weak lily]

ggs

[north trellis]

ggs

[weak lily]

yeah i was thinking -1

[north trellis]

how do you have that many wins on him this early lmao

you've been grinding

[weak lily]

potentially -2 honestly, if stripe plays patient enough its really hard to get in

[weak lily]

stay away for 33 hours

and just grind

[north trellis]

fair enough, and yeah it can be hard to contest your jab though

that thing is huge

[weak lily]

for real

smith is definetly a neutral monster

[north trellis]

yeah, one thing I'd recommend is not challenging stripe at the ledge unless you're doing so with a good disjoint, like down gun

[weak lily]

yeah i know like nothing about stripe in general 😭

his trumping capabilities are crazy

[north trellis]

nobody plays him because he's buggy and mid tier

yeah, offstage either recovering or edgeguarding stripe is a menace

[weak lily]

never playing against a stripe on dexters lab though

[north trellis]

his best stage easy

[weak lily]

that sucks so much

[north trellis]

wish it was legal

[weak lily]

I don't for that reason lol

But ggs, you're definitely a good stripe fs

[north trellis]

appreciate it man, your smith is great, I hate that you don't mash dodge out of disadvantage like everyone else I went for so many dodge reads and got hit for it lmao

[weak lily]

yeah i fish for those too dw

[north trellis]

stripe is very fun until you run into morty

[heavy dune]

is press the advantage good on stripe ? feels like he can't ever kill pre 100 except on rare occasions

[short dew]

He does damage so fast I don’t really notice how often it’s over 100 but it’s probably a lot… the easiest way to kill someone early is to just hit them near a blast zone and use the three neutral special shots to push them out… I have two presets for perks and in that slot on one I run snowball and the other that projectile shield you get from walking and I just switch depending on the matchup, Rick I put on the shield, Arya I put on the snowball… you get the idea

[short dew]

So I guess I don’t really use that one I just prefer the projectile shield or extra damage but it could be good I think? And some things are bound to be viable if it’s doubled with a teammate as well

[heavy dune]

i think i just don't know how to kill as stripe yet

[short dew]

Make sure you use your sawblades on platforms if you can since they stick around and do damage that way… try to get off to the side of the enemy and use your jab string to rack up damage, also don’t forget to keep pulling dynamite especially when the other person is high percentage… once you get them over/around a hundred start going for kill moves… imo the greedy kill moves, meaning they work but are more punishable are the side specials, both in the air and on the ground… but the easiest kill is the grounded up attack, if you hit with it it can tag multiple people and if you keep hitting the button on contact it does a final hit with a lot of knockback, even if it doesn’t kill them you follow it up with neutral special to finish them off and that should kill them… those upward claw slashes on the ground tho… they are soo good… and you can ladder with things like up special into up air if you need to

[heavy dune]

okay yeah genuinely how do you kill as stripe dude

[short dew]

Do the things

but only the right ones

[heavy dune]

oh fr

[worn beacon]

Well, you kinda have to land the clutch edgeguard dynamite, or a hailmarry sair

otherwise, your Dair is a little slow to be a reliable kill move

a good choice is also just side special off-stage

you can just throw yourself out there

but if they dodge it you're in a pretty awful position since you wasted an air special AND a dodge to get out of the move

[limpid ore]

I noticed that in the picture for the "end of season event" Biker Stripe is riding the bike of his default victory pose.

Even though he has the chainsaw victory pose, and I wonder why the heck the biker skin doesn't have the bike pose.

[north trellis]

Classic kill confirm is f tilt up tilt

Some times you need to dash forward to catch smaller characters with the up tilt, and since the move hits basically behind stripe you need to read DI to determine whether or not you should reverse the last hit

Another good one is f tilt into dair at ledge into either down gun or another dair, if you’re not close enough to the ledge, you can dash cancel gun loop with Ftilt to get them closer on DI out, if they DI in you kinda have to go for up tilt but that can also kill, if they DI out the last f tilt near ledge they can be out of range for dair so you can go for sair, but even then you can jump above them and down gun spike if they recover low, I love fast fall down gun into dair

Dynamite also seems to have almost like a sweet spot at the very end of it, I love going for that if people recover high by pulling dynamite, dropping off ledge and going straight up with it, even if I don’t get the sweet spot it’ll often hit them back towards the blast zone and I can reset

Skateboard seems to be a pretty niche kill option, but I’ve seen decent success with it in certain matchups like against bugs bunny who thinks rocket is an all protective shield that will protect them from everything

Another fun kill confirm is for people that are camping riding the wall, rolling buzzsaw down the ledge can catch people staying down there and confirm into sair or dair depending on damage and DI, and even when people do jump out to avoid it, down gun or dair could catch them there

I think my favorite confirm of all time though only works on the Throne Room, having a buzzsaw riding up the wall and having it carry someone to the top blast zone makes me feel incredibly evil

[dusk pebble]

what perks do yall recommend for stripe

[north trellis]

I see some people say the 5% perk is the best and I see some people say boom boom bounce is the best, really it depends on how much you use dynamite. Both the weakened perks can help you take stocks earlier, but dynamite will give you weakened if you’re running though, so I see most stripes run that’s flammable doc and the speed perk. For the last slot I go with armor crush if the opponent has lots of armor moves or pugilist if they don’t.

[limpid ore]

My first test with Steam REC was just this: #clips message

[hard sigil]

Thoughts on the Arya mu?

[north trellis]

I think it’s even maybe winning

Without the knife throw she has a recovery that can easily be taken care of with down gun or dair, sair works really well at punishing her dodge normals, jump sair works pretty well for me, and our burst range with dynamite is larger than her already huge burst range with her dodge normals

She also doesn’t get too much out of stealing stripes face

But she’s still Arya and can disintegrate you at fairly low percents

[zinc smelt]

the most obnoxious character ever devised by sentient souls but like not a bad matchup just requires that you make exactly 0 mistakes

[north trellis]

It’s one of those where on paper I know I probably win that matchup but it’s so hard to feel that in practice when I get hit by that combo into charged sair and get obliterated

[north trellis]

#clips message

Buzzsaw my beloved

[hard sigil]

Black Adam is also a bad mu

Placed 9th in a tourney out of 159 people

[zinc smelt]

BA is weird

[manic siren]

My favorite way to kill is to spike the enemy off stage then using the bullets to make sure they 100% can't make it back

Since the bullets can spike too

[latent cave]

💚💚💚💚💚

[short dew]

I get so many kills off the top from up normal into triple neutral special it's criminal

[north trellis]

I get a lot of mine with up tilt and dynamite as well

[manic siren]

I like to chase with the dynamite, up air, and up special.

[short dew]

Up special is definitely an important tool in certain matchups too… like Rick, it basically turns off half his moves and you can spam it for free

[thorny crater]

im guessing theres no way to space out bullets anymore? he just shoots all 3 at the same time

[kind flicker]

you can dodge cancel between them

otherwise no

[thorny crater]

yeah thats rough lol was the reason i loved him so much in the beta

[north trellis]

There was a bug where he couldn’t cancel the shots with a dodge if the targets on the buzzsaw but they recently bug fixed it

[short dew]

I can try but not right now sorry... maybe later tho

[north trellis]

I'm decent but I'm down?

You wanna run some games?

What’s your in game name?

All good

[echo stirrup]

How do u kill with stripe besides gun

[dapper lark]

Utilt 2 and edgeguards

[north trellis]

Up tilts a good kill option, gun off the top or off the bottom are both good kill options, if you can catch someone near the top of the blastzone and can get close enough gun dodge cancel up air can kill, dynamite has some strong hitboxes near the end of the move, if someone’s hanging on ledge rolling buzzsaw down there to hit them up into a dair or sair can get kills, you can use a dair spike to kill off ledge and if you aren’t close to ledge you can do jab gunshot dodge cancel loops to get them closer to ledge, a kill confirm I’ve been doing more is pull dynamite, jab 1 2 down tilt into dynamite and then gunshots if that doesn’t kill

[short dew]

probably the simplest way is either side special skateboard into combo or grounded up normal into combo, into combo just meaning hit them enough you get that last large swipe that has all the knockback... at high percentages both kill instantly pretty much... the bullets just help get the kill when they only get bopped super close to the blast zone but don't quite hit it

[limpid ore]

As a die hard Stripe fan, I'm happy to announce you I managed to solo the Looney Megalodog as Stripe: #clips message

It was completely unnecessary and time consuming, but I took it personally to do it as Stripe.

[dapper lark]

Dude what is that dodge distance lmao

[limpid ore]

It's the dodge distance gem, proved crucial XD

[dapper lark]

I just cheesed megalodog with Morty

[limpid ore]

Stripe before reason

[dapper lark]

When he dives into the ground, just up special as Morty and he’ll be carried into the top blast zone and you win

But respect for actually doing it legit

[limpid ore]

duh, thanks Sherlock, I have heard that just a billion times this week

[dapper lark]

No need to be rude about it

[limpid ore]

no need to be condescending

[dapper lark]

???

What part about giving you respect for doing the boss fight legit instead of cheesing it is condescending?

[limpid ore]

you implied I didn't know how to do it, and I don't like being taken for dumb

[dapper lark]

Idk how active you are in the server. For all I know, you could’ve just been inactive for a while and missed it

[limpid ore]

therefore, you implied it

[dapper lark]

I didn’t know about the Morty cheese until last week

[short dew]

Gotta be honest I didn’t read what they said as a dig at you, I think you may be projecting emotions onto things that aren’t there… he didn’t make fun of you or say you were dumb… if you’re sick of hearing about how to cheese it then that’s not our problem, how would we know how many times you’ve heard it… for example I didn’t even know about it at all… and I play the game every day… just chill dude, everyone in here likes eachother and are helpful for the most part, you’re coming in real hot for no reason.

If you get mad every time someone tells you something you already know you’re gonna be mad a lot in life

[north trellis]

Yeah ngl Hoagieland has always been helpful and chill in this server I doubt they meant any disrespect

[hard sigil]

Any good comp stripe players???

[hard sigil]

Wanna take your anger off and 1v1 me soon?

[north trellis]

I'm down

Wanna run it?

[latent cave]

Stripe duo?

[limpid ore]

I just managed to randomly do this and immediately thought of your message: #clips message
Probably my best kill so far.

[north trellis]

Sick clip man

#clips message I’ve been trying to do reverse gunshot dash cancel aerials more often in neutral and advantage and it feels so nice to land

[hard sigil]

Once you master it you’ll be insane. Always comes in handy when I’m in tourneys

[north trellis]

It’s been really helpful for iron giant too

[north trellis]

You still wanna run those games later today?

[hard sigil]

Probably won’t be on till like 7 or 8 (central time)

But I’ll let you know if I get on early

[north trellis]

Fair enough, I’m not off work until 5 anyways and I have some stuff I need to do afterwards

[limpid ore]

That's some nice gunplay there

[hard sigil]

@north trellis you down for some 1s?

[north trellis]

bet, IGN?

[short dew]

Stripe player in general said the gun is cool because it’s so hard to get kills with… it’s like… I think you’re using it wrong 😑 lol but they were so happy, didn’t want to comment on it, they seemed pretty proud

[north trellis]

A friend of mine was telling me that gun was a top 10 move in the game, and I thought he was insane for saying that, but then I went through the roster and picked out all the moves I thought were better and I found like max 15

Assuming gun works as intended and doesn’t miss for no reason or other bugs

[limpid ore]

I especially hated when the gun didn't work on Megalodog for no real reason, maybe his size made Stripe shoot on the ground, I dunno...

[short dew]

Yea as long as you’re not just spamming it all the time so you actually have three shots it’s gonna get you a lot of kills in spots where they would’ve survived otherwise

[north trellis]

I get a lot of use out of it in neutral too

Reverse gun into up air is a true kill confirm that I use a lot

[north trellis]

Stripe is gone

Rest in peace

[shadow relic]

stripe is dead baby

new main time

lmao

[whole steeple]

What did they do to stripe wtffffff

omg they really did it, they really did it

my one and only main

[shadow relic]

find a new one

[whole steeple]

jesus but whyy

[sweet turret]

Rip gun cancel

[short dew]

I haven’t read the patch notes yet but judging from your reactions our boy is dead 💀

[north trellis]

He’s gone

Low tier maybe even bottom tier

[ember dust]

Gun loops are gone and Dynamite has ammo now

[north trellis]

Can’t forget reverse gun combos

[peak phoenix]

Holy they actually just killed him

o7

[weak crown]

...is this god forcing me to learn adam

[north trellis]

Can’t forget black Adam buffs too

[short dew]

I didn’t spam dynamite a ton but I gotta see what the guns are doing it sounds like 😢

[whole steeple]

Stripe

General

• Fixed an issue where certain animations had misaligned hurtboxes
  Ground Down Attack
  ~ Knockback angle made more diagonal towards Stripe
  Air/Ground Neutral Special
  – No longer allows dodge-canceling between shots
  Air Side Special
• Fixed an issue where Stripe would occasionally teleport to the wrong target on-hit
  Air/Ground Down Special
  – Now applies a 6-second cooldown when the dynamite explodes
  – Now limited to 2 ammo with a 15-second ammo cooldown

[north trellis]

These patch notes are terrible

Who the hell is in charge of this

[whole steeple]

fr

[north trellis]

I would be literally impossible to make it more clear that you have no idea what you’re doing

[peak phoenix]

Stripe actually got the hardest single nerf with the "No longer allows dodge-canceling between shots"

[weak crown]

bc rn i'm actively avoiding him, idc if his kit genuinely gravitates to a playstyle that clicks for me i hate black adam as a slot

[whole steeple]

No one will stripe ngl I have 1k wins on stripe. I give it a few tries and if its unplayable bye bye

[latent cave]

Fr

[short dew]

Wait so is that saying he shoots two bullets instead of three? Does that mean the second one has the knockback now? Or am I a smoothbrain reading the notes wrong lol

Oh no it’s saying dynamite has 2 ammo? With a cooldown

[shadow relic]

point is all combos with gun is gone

[whole steeple]

and u cant dodge while firing

[north trellis]

Dynamite has ammo and a cooldown

[whole steeple]

xddd

[shadow relic]

the dynamite nerf is also bad but that on its own would be fine but its the fact they are doing that AND removing all of his confirms and combos with gun that just kills him

thats legit the entire character

and even if it was not as big as it was its also the most fun part of the character so whats the point of playing him now

they took out what made him skill expressive and interesting

[north trellis]

Steven got murdered last patch now it’s Stripes turn

[short dew]

Okay so if I’m reading this right when you use dynamite you can’t use it again for six seconds no matter what and then if you’re out of ammo for it you get one ammo back every 15 seconds?

[sweet turret]

Guy isn't even top tier and he got gutted

[north trellis]

Yup

[whole steeple]

Almost no one played stripe

[weak crown]

i did >:(

[whole steeple]

less will

[north trellis]

Bottom 5 play rate iirc

[short dew]

Yea was his wr like insanely high or something

[sweet turret]

That was in beta when he first came out

[short dew]

Wonder what made them focus on him now tho

[whole steeple]

yea weird

There is also a bug where dynamite explodes 2 times. They did not fix it

[sweet turret]

Guess they didn't like the jab jab gun loop. Which I guess I get, but removing dodge cancel removes a lot of his sauce

[thorny raptor]

They killed stripe

Sob

[weak crown]

...so what now

[whole steeple]

I really want to jump on that new sumurai

[thorny raptor]

Stripe was not even a top tier.

[short dew]

Yea I’m prolly still gonna play him some since people will play him even less now so maybe people won’t really know the mu well eventually but that’s super sad

[thorny raptor]

And they killed his Besta ability

[ember dust]

Personally if I was charged with nerfing gun, I’d increase the ammo cooldown. He’d still have his gun confirms, he’d just have to be a bit more careful with how they use it since it’d take longer to get all shots back

[manic hull]

I did, but I guess it’s a good thing I started playing Marvin. And now Samurai Jack’s here

[whole steeple]

I guess wait till new patch, because then they realize no one play him lol

[weak crown]

true but like... idk man, finding a new main's hard

at least for me

[shadow relic]

ye i mean nobody should play him with a playrate of actual 0 I hope it sends the message across that this change was not it

[thorny raptor]

Im happy all here address this is not a healthy change for stripe.

[manic hull]

Hard to give up a character you legit like playing

[thorny raptor]

Thank you all for making my day.

[weak crown]

ig there's the prospect of experimentation but like

[whole steeple]

exactly

[weak crown]

i don't want to find out that there's a character who genuinely fits your playstyle and it's like

someone you hate

[shadow relic]

if there is anything i have learned is that you HAVE to with this game learn a lot of characters cus they devs go nuclear with nerfs on the most random of characters

[thorny raptor]

I love stripe but he right know is the worst assasin, this is cruel and doesn't is for good.

[weak crown]

like i don't want to find out black friggin adam's best for me

(IT SHOULDA BEEN STATIC WITH THOSE SPECIALS)

[short dew]

Yea my wr with other characters was like 55% and with stripe I was 78.3… so it’s not even close for me in terms of how I click with the kit… bummer… time to try new characters and hope Beetlejuice and I get along

[thorny raptor]

Next patch, stripe skateboard and dash attack not longer has vertical knockback.

[whole steeple]

I feel devs only do listen on their feelings

[pulsar zealot]

where did u saw that?

[whole steeple]

otherwise stripe would have survived ngl

[north trellis]

There’s a stat tracker app I look at

[sweet turret]

He will not be able to kill if they did that, please don't jinx it

[manic hull]

Yeah I hope Beetlejuice is good

[north trellis]

NAKAT when he plays against a stripe that taunts him and starts malding

[pulsar zealot]

can u send it to me pls?

[shadow relic]

eh lets not start throwing out baseless accusations

no clue why the devs did this but its what happened

[north trellis]

It’s called Tracker Network

[shadow relic]

just gonna drop him and move on lmao

[thorny raptor]

They do dirty to my boy this patch, I expect worst from devs.

[whole steeple]

"just"

[thorny raptor]

He is not even b tier.

[shadow relic]

ye that is legit my only course of action, I as i said have taken the time to learn a ton of the cast because this is not the first time this has happened. Like I have mained Steven, gizmo, stripe etc

[short dew]

I’m sure he’ll be cool I just hope he feels natural to me like stripe did

[shadow relic]

and steven got the same treatment so i have not been playing him much at all either

i knew this was a possability so what else is there to do

[dapper lark]

I’m sorry you guys were unfairly targeted for no reason

[weak crown]

first garnet, now stripe

man i rly do got nothing left

[dapper lark]

Yet Morty got buffed

[north trellis]

This blows so hard

What is neutral for this character at a high level anymore

[worn beacon]

Ehhhh, Dynamite was massively strong of a tool.
That gun nerf hurts so much

[thorny raptor]

Why the hell they nerfed dirt by just that? The problem was the excessive weakened stacks, not the the distance at all.

[whole steeple]

My boy stripe....

[worn beacon]

Weaken as a whole was nerfed

[thorny raptor]

Every character has the right to have a strong but complicated move.

[thorny raptor]

How much stacks apply dirt?

[whole steeple]

could have made the skateboard better

[worn beacon]

it wasn't complicated tho, you just have dynamite out and the enemy can't combo you.

[thorny raptor]

And how much is the max?

[worn beacon]

2, max is 3

[dapper lark]

Yes I agree. It applies TWO stacks of weaken meaning you take an extra 10% damage and knockback from his uair killing most characters at 80

[thorny raptor]

That doesn change nothing, 10% hitstun and knockback is more than enough.

[dapper lark]

Earlier if you’re playing T&J or Arya

[shadow relic]

dynamite nerf is justified its the gun change ontop of it that is crazy

[whole steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/heyy-how-you-doing-gremlin-gif-15259381

[north trellis]

Even with dynamite he was middle of the cast

[dapper lark]

If they wanted to nerf dynamite, they should’ve just increased the whiff lag or cancel window and made Stripe take more self damage

[thorny raptor]

Wasn't justified, that dynamite was a strong tool but a hard to use. Also you came with the problem that you receive damage upon use it. 7 damage is a lot in this game with character that kill you at 80.

[normal plume]

sooooo

stripessss

what's the uh

whats the plan

whats

[shadow relic]

none

[dapper lark]

The gun nerf was just unnecessary

[shadow relic]

quitting the character is the plan

[normal plume]

i thought so 😭

[thorny raptor]

Worst stripe being one of the lightest character in the game.

[north trellis]

Finding a new main

[shadow relic]

dynamite was defo not ok being spammed like it was

[normal plume]

guys im sure it's not that baddd just queue up

[sweet turret]

I'll keep trying him, and see how it goes

[whole steeple]

They added the timer thats the problem

[normal plume]

theres so much we can do, like jab uptilt

and uh

[dapper lark]

It’s time for everyone to pick up Morty to show he’s still a problem

[normal plume]

[thorny raptor]

Yeah, you don't nerf his best tool, the Cooldown was unnecessary, the con was the self damage, if you want to make it less spammy, at least nerf the self damage.

[sweet turret]

You can di out of the move easy, forcing us to go for up air or fair which kills way later lol

[shadow relic]

exactly like, the timer was imo an awesome change but having the timer + infinite bombs was crazy

[weak crown]

Been hard tryna find a new main: my playstyle's been gravitating to either:

• setup fighters that can control space while still allowing me to go aggro (examples: BBCF Kokonoe or ROA's Orcane)
• combo grapplers (examples: BBCF Bullet, UMVC3 Spencer, Incineroar??)

[normal plume]

im just coping

[thorny raptor]

Like Harley doesn't receive self damage, Morty doesn't receive self damage from granades

[sweet turret]

Fair enough buddy, this has not been a good day for any of us

[thorny raptor]

Gremlings are suppose to be inmortal and indestructible unless day light.

[normal plume]

play jason or supes

[weak crown]

so like, any recs welcome

[thorny raptor]

Or high radiation.

[weak crown]

i think one of those two are the plan

[north trellis]

Actually, you can reverse the last hit to catch people DI’ing away

[weak crown]

for the latter playstyle at least

[dapper lark]

You’re probably looking at either T&J, Morty, Rick, or Bugs

[weak crown]

the former's a bit tough. i like bugs too :3
