then again, this convo just dragged a lot
1.7 ground pounding is something I'm actually way more passionate about
thankfully if got reverted to how it was before

pearl blaze
#

what does 1.7 groundpounds mean

restive carbon
# pearl blaze what does 1.7 groundpounds mean

2.0 changed ground pounds to where you can't ground pound right about anything. I HATED this. 😭
This made getting up spots like that wall jump spot in Sky incredibly difficult and frustrating.
The recent 2.1 update changed it back.

I think it's this? Idek

restive carbon

yeah

#

there were other ground pound 1.7 stuff

#

but the not being able to ground pound right above a surface was the biggest annoyance for me personally

#

The other thing I hated about 2.0 was the new comboes. I'm still mixed on it but I've mostly adapted.

LOL This thread (and I) is in this video.

#

It also shows (in the later half) how cheesy it is. Idk if Snayp likes the update or not. But either way, the video is of course a banger (as his videos always are πŸ”₯ πŸ’ͺ).

#

wait nvm he said his opinion... and uh... yeah... ofc I agree lol

#

-# How did I just now realize that Snayp has already talked in this thread?

The most annoying part is that it hits from below as well cursedmario

#

(but it's a bug right?)

once again, everyone I ask in game still agrees with me

restive carbon
#

I got a double kill in Grassland with the blue shell side bump too but the replay system is bugging or something cuz it won't load. :[

pearl blaze
#

It seems like its a problem in ffa

#

because it hits so many players unintentionally, so thats what makes it annoying

restive carbon
#

That's exactly it! It's broken in FFA. 1v1s sure, they are fine. Vin proved that to me. lol But I feel like the majority play FFA. NOT saying something should be changed just because of one way how people play. But it's not like reverting it back or nerfing it would hurt 1v1s whatsoever.

# worthy robin every time you post about that im gonna get 3 clips for the contrary ;3

It genuinely just seems like you are trying to do this to tick me off and keep an overpowered change in the game. Idc if it's not great in 1v1s. It's a problem in FFA and even casuals are commenting on how broken it is.
And if your clips are just "lol I ground pounded blue shell" then that literally doesn't prove anything. You can do that in any version of the game. The point is showing how OP the side bumping is. That's what my clips are for.
You are making this thread miserable because you will NOT listen to anything I say nor others that dislike the change. Your main argument is that the blue shell has a weak point. I do not care. That doesn't make the side bump any less OP.

restive carbon
#

If I get more clips of even more outrageous kills, I'll make a part 2... but I think you get the picture. In FFA, it's broken... and I'm not going to be talked into otherwise.

Dang, looks like we're not really getting through to you. Here's a friendly reminder:
If something has a weak point, it is not op. If you do not care about that, then you are being very stubborn. The new update gave you less opportunities to punish/approach blueshell, while also giving it more opportunities to punish/approach you. It made it an actual threat. But in the opportunities where you can approach it, the reward is usually very good (3 stars or more). Just because you can't approach it in every circumstance, doesn't mean it's op, have patience when fighting blueshell.
In FFA, I admit, it's harder to find those opportunities since there are more threats around. Blueshell has always been a menace to FFA iirc. It still possible to hit it tho, for example: on grass, if you are in a FFA match and you see a blueshell running around, wait for it at the stairs or platforms, and gp it when it gets close. You have to be actually looking out for it.
For the video: the clips where blueshell hits from above is actual bs. Yes, that is going to change, it's a bug.
-# also waow I'm in there, hi me
For all of the other clips though, it's just people not approaching blueshell well, and getting punished for it. Most of the people are just running straight into the shell blindly lol. What did you expect? This is like someone approaching fire in a bad place and getting combo'ed for it.

#

The sentence in bold is important btw, keep that in mind

#

Like, look back at the video and have in mind that they are not approaching blueshell correctly and it shines a whole new light on it.

potent gull
#

Hm
I mostly agree but like
It's really annoying to not being able to just push the crouching blueshell, you have to get stomped for it, so it's just too risky to do anything about them

But again with the fix it might changes how that works. We could probably just stop debating until the fix and then see if it's still a problem.

#

Also I could argue that for less experienced players it's quite unclear what you are supposed to do about a crouching blueshell, and how to approach it.

silk gazelle
#

Hmm, good idea

silk gazelle
gaunt pagoda
#

If people really want to keep the sidebump, I guess you can make the blueshell max height jump 1 or 2 tiles less than regular players. This way the counter is easier.
This would def be a controversial change though. Especially because it would remove an OG feature (less height), in response to an OG feature (sidebump).

potent gull

#

Only for Mario.. ?

silk gazelle
#

A nerf I thought would be good is to make only 3/4 of the blueshell do the kb and the other 1/4 be like if you jumped on it so that it feels less cheesy. but maybe that's just me

gaunt pagoda
#

That's actually hilarious

#

So Mario had 2 advantages in the OG, interesting

gaunt pagoda
#

I'd rather have it fully gone, but if we're looking for a compromise, why not

fickle yew
#

for example..
the hammer suit before 2.1 was over powered (even though most of you didn't say anything about that) because there was no clear weakness and it wasn't really that fun to fight against
the blueshell clearly has a weakness, but a lot of people are used to its weakness being way more easy to use because of mvlo's new and improved additions to make the blue shell not that good before
now its a little too strong now cause of the small new mvlo additions rather than the accuracy additions but I think generally it's pretty manageable like the fire flower mostly if you know what you're doing.

#

also @restive carbon we are not trying to ragebait you, mess with you, play tricks on you, nothing like that..
we're literally just explaining our points!
and you're just really dedicated on forcing this out of the game

fickle yew
#

even I still struggle with actually controlling the blueshell starman
it's way too much and not good for a game like this where going fast isn't a big priority usually

potent gull
worthy robin
#

to not approach it :'3

#

actually shell makes approaching fire much more viable if you do it right!

potent gull
# worthy robin to not approach it :'3

It's not that simple. Also i'm genuinely asking. Dealing with a crouching blueshell is not easy, and even if you manage something, it happens quite often that you touch them before your gp starts, which throws them away lol

fickle yew
# potent gull ... what would you learn? Not to approach it? Also I am one of the first to cal...

to approach it differently next time
you can probably figure out easily enough that the top of the blueshell is a weak spot you can use to throw them off or stomp them. once you understand it the blueshell isn't that hard to deal with (I'm not Super good at mvlo like you are apparently so I doubt it's something only really good players can learn) aside from the minor bugs and the hyper speed and slope speed making it way too difficult to tell whether it's crouched or not because it's going at normal or a faster speed..

I never knew that you were the first, I always thought it was too fast from the moment it was added into the game but since EVERYBODY agreed it was super good and I just didn't care enough about mvlo at this point to try and argue about it with them

#

it's probably just a bit hard to combat the blue shell crouch since mvlo has had the blueshell be changed from the original mvl to be kinda bad in mvlo this whole time and it suddenly being actually good like the fire flower now is something people weren't ready for after like years of it being mid or bad

gaunt pagoda
#

You (many people in this thread) should stop saying to "approach it differently". It's almost never worth it to do so anyway. The better option is to avoid it at all cost in its current state.

#

That's why we're trying to discuss a solution for the next update

#

There's clearly an issue atm, that needs to be fixed.

silk gazelle
fickle yew
gaunt pagoda
# fickle yew what do you mean almost never worth it?

Isn't it obvious? Not worth it to attack... because 90% of the time you will end up in knockback (and probably comboed and lose your powerup, and lose at least 2 stars in the process).
Don't tell me to be more cautious, because this has the same meaning as "Approach it differently".
On some maps it is easier to "approach differently", and have some kind of highground. Less easy on other maps.

#

I would argue the blueshell is somewhat fine. However there's not a day passing without somebody saying "blueshell op". Something IS wrong atm

fickle yew
# gaunt pagoda Isn't it obvious? Not worth it to attack... because 90% of the time you will en...

it's not really obvious as I've never seen it as that bad of a punishment compared to something like the ice flower on like two maps where you just die.
most times I get attacked and I lose a star and that's it, maybe in big lobbies it can get a bit worse but it's usually nothing that bad and it's really common in big lobbies to get hit and then hit by another random person, the one unfair thing about it is the bug where you get side bumped when you're on top of the shell which does indeed suck

you can make the same point with the fireflower since you can steal like 5-3 stars with a perfect combo and also say it's not worth it to approach because of that
even though both scenarios only really happen 20% of the time where you lose like, everything which is what you describe to be what happens almost EVERYTIME when that's pretty rare unless you're on dangerous maps that will indeed kill you a lot for mistakes

I just don't get what you mean..

restive carbon
# silk gazelle Dang, looks like we're not really getting through to you. Here's a friendly remi...

"The new update gave you less opportunities to punish/approach blueshell, while also giving it more opportunities to punish/approach you."

Listen, I understand that. But my whole point is that their (the blue shell's) opportunaty and punish is too OP.
You don't need to be jumping in place. You can mix up your approach. I mean heck, you can walk over and immediately crouch jump into someone that's landing to get a cheap kill. I still think it's buff.

spark raptor
#

-# aren’t we jst restating points
-# didnt ipod want to make a poll channel over this

restive carbon
#

I'm gonna use this Little Mac example but actually give it a fair comparison.

Let's say that current Little Mac is like how the blue shell was in the previous update. Everyone being fine with him.
But let's say that literally today, Nintendo updates Smash Ultimate and buffs Little Mac's side special. Now it has stronger kb and can easily kill others at like 30%-40%!
Now let's assume that because of this update, many fans in the community dislike it. They see it as too OP and cheap.
But now pretend that one fan (you or Pluh!) says something like "Erm actually, Little Mac still has weaknesses still and you just need to change up ur style and dodge attacks. lol"
Like I DON'T CARE! It doesn't matter if he has weaknesses. The Side B buff is just unnessacary and can get stupid kills. Even if you can avoid it and time things up, the attack is still broken.

THAT... IMO... is a fair comparison. I swear you are going to pull up to this chat and say that it's not. πŸ₯€

How often do you experience blue shell's sidebumps/How strong do you think blue shell currently is?
(Like the host bans poll)

don't react with a crying. 😭 I meant like NOT the ground pound, just a small bump like someone got hit on the head
Edit: sorry

stray portal
#

keep in mind the polls are targeted towards the people who play the game. which are the most important group of people for the questions the polls are trying to resolve. you shouldn't be left out from having an opinion on the game that you play just bc you haven't made a game yourself before

#

think of it as doing "let's see what people want -> push an update" instead of the current "push an update -> let's see what people like -> revert the update"

restive carbon
#

I feel like the polls are gonna want to keep the ground pound side bump affect... which to me makes no sense. Everyone I talk to in the actual game dislikes it. O_O

  1. On a scale from 1-5, how strong is the current blue shell (1 being too weak, 3 being balanced, 5 being too strong)

  2. If the knockback of shell sidebumps were reduced, how would the current balance change?
    A. It’d become perfectly balanced.
    B. It’d still be too strong.
    C. It’d become too weak.
    D. It wouldnt affect how strong it is enough.

  3. How do you feel about the state of balance between all power-ups? (Non-invincibility, no mini mushroom)
    A. 1 or 2 are much stronger than the rest
    B. Relatively balanced between all power-ups.
    C. 1 or 2 are much weaker than the rest.

okay
why and I mean WHY does this place suck at actually making decisions on even the smallest of things for the game, this kind of situation has happened far too many times I just can't help but say something at this point!! it's actually messing with me how something that could be good can easily be turned down by a loud enough majority just because it isn't what THEY think is good
or something as minor as this can go on for a whole week of back and forth while the game can't even decide what it wants to do at this point!!!
why does this happen with almost ANYTHING new that gets added that's just, different..
why can't people think about what made mvl work but instead of just considering it a buggy old mess that mvlo is superior to!?!?
I just don't like this place when it comes to stuff like this where big arguments happen over literally ANYTHING that doesn't align with a loud enough majority's idea of what mvlo should be??

I don't know why I felt like letting this out here out of all places I'm just sick of stuff like this happening because of the lack of an actual direction or goal with mvlo really because like five different ideas and visions of what mvlo should be worked on this and none of it meshes well together and I can FEEL it in the game itself...
don't respond to this message it'll move the topic of the thread too much, this is just for reading and moving on from only.
hi vin

okay @restive carbon keep talking about whatever you were gonna say

restive carbon
#

in all seriousness, and I want to be clear, I love MvLO, it's... quite literally... my favorite game... and it's been that way for over a year
I only get this devoted (and I rarely do) when there's something I find to be really annoying or OP. I understand ur frustration tho. I agree, this thread has gone on for too long

pearl blaze
#

still better than arguing about ball hands for hammer

fickle yew

#

i think its cause we like mario 🀀

restive carbon
#

because of negativity like this, I've made sure that I've posted positive stuff here and there too. I don't want to be known as the guy who complains (even if it's just like 3-ish stuff, I get devoted lol)
so I've said stuff like Beach and Ghost House being awesome, loving the new 2.0 laglessness, etc.

potent gull
#

I didnt like the gpc changes, iframe duration, some stuff like that

#

But all of 2.0? With the rollback netcode? All the bug fixes? No way

worthy robin
restive carbon
#

Same here! 2.0 is pretty much objectively better than 1.7.
Just a few changes I disliked but yeah.

worthy robin
#

that you maintained for like a month :'3

potent gull
#

I slightly remember that
What was my point?

restive carbon
#

dang people really like 1v1s

#

makes sense ngl since the OG game is literally just that. Idk what I'm saying

worthy robin
potent gull
#

Well it's true lol

worthy robin
potent gull
#

I like the combo system too much to not be biased

#

And the rollback netcode

worthy robin
potent gull
#

Never said the contrary

worthy robin
potent gull
#

It also means that I can at least change my opinion

worthy robin
#

im just saying thats why i brought up the whole "snayp maintained this thing" :3

#

never said you disagreed i just wanted to use that as a way to communicate that we need a lot of time to form opinions!

potent gull
#

Well to this day im still not wrong that it's campier

#

You get punished really badly for little mistakes

calm pagoda
#

knockback used to be a lot longer making comboing way too easy, it was reduced pretty majorly in 2.0.1/2 iirc.

pearl blaze
#

yup

calm pagoda
#

and I frames used to be shorter too

potent gull
#

It's still really campy, just play grassland 1v1
But I know it's just how the game is
To me it's flawed but changing that would mean changing a lot of things and having to rethink the combo system and etc
And i don't have a solution for it anyway

restive carbon
#

@worthy robin Not to beat a dead horse but I have one more comparison WITHIN MVLO that I'm genuinely curious to hear your opinions on.
Let's say that ipod updated the game and the propeller was reverted back to the 1.7 propeller... being super OP. Would you not find that annoying?
Sure it still has its weaknesses (like hammer suit) and you can still change up ur playstyle to avoid it, but it feels like an unnecesary buff and is frustrating especially in FFA.
This is how I view the blue shell side bump. Maybe you don't see it this way but I'm just wondering.

pearl blaze
#

thats a bad comparison

restive carbon
#

Dang.

#

Idk what is a good comparison anymore.

the propeller comparison isn't perfect since 1.7 propeller had more advantages then one simple blue shell side bump but that's the best comparison I could think of within MvLO

worthy robin
# restive carbon <@541332010749263882> Not to beat a dead horse but I have one more comparison **...

ive already said how i feel about something like this earlier in here :3
the reason why i think blueshell is fine right now is because it has extreme weaknesses but in exchange has a very strong attack, even with this strong attack, blueshell is locked into place and cant move freely, youre trading mobility for more protection and a better attack!!!

1.7 propellor and 2.0 hammer didnt really have glaring weaknesses,,,
this is exacerbated by the fact that 1.7s awful netcode made it impossible to hit propeller even when they landed-
propellor was spamable and you couldnt really hit people when they land because they were grounded for 0.001 seconds,,, it didnt really have a clear weakness,,,

restive carbon
#

alright πŸ‘
maybe it wasn't the best comparison but that's what I thought of

#

(not alright as in I changed my mind πŸ’€ 😭 πŸ™ but I see ur side)

upbeat nacelle
#

wow all have been buisy while i was away

restive carbon
#

Okay so you can do the buff blue shell side bump with HYPERSPEED NOW?

#

Also the fact that the side bump when slowly moving overrides a fast moving blue shell and still hits them and flings them is insane to me.

#

Vin be like: "You should've reacted faster."

calm pagoda
#

that doesnt seem to be the case in the code order.

restive carbon
upbeat nacelle
#

um... it doesnt?

#

if a running blue shell hits a non running one (even if it is moving at running speed), the non-running one gets their blue shell taken away

gaunt pagoda
#

Explain now

#

The "running" blueshell just gets hit by the crouching one

calm pagoda
#

its impossible to tell

#

king boba fett has to send the replay

#

or record going frame by frame

proud frigate
#

Lugi exits blue shell

upbeat nacelle
#

@restive carbon Can you send the replay so I can see it?

#

like, not a recording, the actual replay file

gaunt pagoda
proud frigate
#

blue shell side bump interaction code comes after blue shell damage code

upbeat nacelle
#

I guess we wait for a replay for a difinitive answer

restive carbon
#

And I'll ping @upbeat nacelle because why not.

proud frigate
#

yUP, Enki exited the shell.. for some reason

#

if he didn't he would've dealt damage

restive carbon
#

oh...

#

you didn't think I'd give up that easy... did you?

proud frigate
restive carbon
#

dang

#

I thought it still counted.

#

But I guess it makes sense?

pearl blaze
proud frigate
#

not really

#

it's just basic blue shell spinning behavior

#

if someone is spinning in blue shell and you're above them you stomp them out of it

pearl blaze
#

I cant tell if they were spinning or crouching

restive carbon
#

me? I'm crouch jumping

restive carbon
proud frigate
#

a spinning blue shell, aka attacking blue shell

#

if you're above them then you stomp them

#

they don't ignore the stomp like when crouching

#

you're above them in the clip you sent

restive carbon
#

yeah but I wasn't "stomping" them
if I wasn't in a blue shell and I hit the top of them, I would've just like bounced off of them
I feel like that should've happened because that makes sense

proud frigate
#

no you wouldn't

restive carbon
#

wait what

proud frigate
#

if you weren't in blue shell you would've stomped them, and they wouldn't bounce since they're in attack mode

#

yeah

#

if you're in attack mode while in blue shell you can get stomped on like normal, no hip drop needed

restive carbon
#

I thought jumping on top of a spinning blue shell just makes you bounce off them. Was that changed too?

#

I'm mixing everything up now. 😭 πŸ™

#

1,500+ messages is wild. I'm totally not to blame for that. πŸ‘€πŸ’¦

proud frigate
#

what actually happens if two blue shells touch owo

#

is they both GO flying

calm pagoda
proud frigate
#

?

calm pagoda
#

Like landing on someone's head while crouched in shell

#

Why does it do a hard thing and not a bounce

restive carbon
#

I personally don't like how much a slow moving blue shells seems to be able to fling someone... whether a side bump, that situation in the video above, etc.
I agree btw. πŸ‘€

calm pagoda
#

I also think it shouldn't be able to do it below like walking speed

proud frigate
restive carbon
#

So?

#

If you get hit by an anvil in Minecraft, are you gonna be mad it doesn't fling you 15 blocks? 😭 πŸ™

proud frigate
#

getting hit by a heavy anvil should do something different than a regular player

restive carbon
#

it does... when you are "initiating" it... by going fast

proud frigate
#

no, just be gravity

#

it has more mass thus more energy

restive carbon
#

I mean I'm not entirely against keeping the fling from getting hit by the shell below while it's slow moving.
I'm not a fan of it but it's better than the mere side of it doing it.

#

but it doing it to a fast moving blue shell user feels... wrong?

calm pagoda
#

Stomped on by shell Mario : light knockback
Stomped on by crouching shell Mario: hardest knockback possible

upbeat nacelle
#

maybe fast-moving is not specific enough

proud frigate
upbeat nacelle
#

you can do the bump thing ans still move at running speed

restive carbon
#

I'm trying to look at it within the context of MvLO and how everything else works... and looking at how this situation would work. And... it feels unintuative. Blue shell slow moving side bump as a whole that is.
Idk. It's not super broken and OP as I once though, but it does feel weird and is annoyingly strong especially in FFA.

proud frigate
#

in FFA it's not strong tho

wheat harness
proud frigate
#

I don't know why people think FFA is like all players are clumped UP

#

maps are big enough that there isn't much clumping

calm pagoda
upbeat nacelle
silk gazelle
#

Oh ,yeah, it definitely is stronger

#

Bigger crowd, unpredictability, more targets, lots of reasons

calm pagoda
#

Projectile immunity is so much more important with more enemies

proud frigate
upbeat nacelle
#

and only walking

#

so

proud frigate
silk gazelle
#

Well, at least, both are not likely to happen

upbeat nacelle
#

Actually i got banned from a lobby because I won without running

wheat harness
#

that doesn't mean it's not strong does it?

silk gazelle
#

Basically, it's more likely to hit your opponent if there are more opponents. That's one of many reasons

#

Your opponent might not even be focused on you because there are so many things to focus on in ffa

upbeat nacelle
#

but i see your point

proud frigate
calm pagoda
#

weak to what??

upbeat nacelle
#

stomp

#

other blue shell

#

blue shell > blue shell

calm pagoda
#

wow, stomps, the action everyone can get hit by

upbeat nacelle
#

but also other blue shell

calm pagoda
#

But blue shell is apparently bad and predictable so

proud frigate
calm pagoda
#

Pits????

silk gazelle
proud frigate
#

if you do you have to leave your shell

upbeat nacelle
calm pagoda
#

Sorry but your argument sucks

upbeat nacelle
#

if both are predictable, then are they really?

proud frigate
upbeat nacelle
#

if you both predict the other correctly you change your actions acording to what you think the other will do, this being wrong

silk gazelle

#

unliek Fire Flower where you can GO "WOOHOO, WATCH ME WALLKICK AND DO THIS AND DO THAT" Blue Shell you can't do that

You can literally just uncrouch for a millisecond

you cannot crouch again after kicking tho

you have to land

Oh sorry I didn't see notoss commant

not really

trying to get someone in a 1v1 is harder what do you mean?

proud frigate
#

again, people think FFA is like "OH EVERYONE IS CLUMPED up IN ONE SPOT" when it isn't

calm pagoda
#

Honestly I don't get your argument notoss

#

Just because you can't be invincible for 100% of the match that means it's not op?

wheat harness

I still don't know what hip drop means.

calm pagoda

#

oh lol

proud frigate
restive carbon
#

So?

#

Doesn't make side bump ANY less powerful.

#

It's like you are dodging the whole point.

proud frigate
#

your opponent has to be dumb to run into you to get side bump

restive carbon
#

sometimes you can catch them off guard

proud frigate
#

it's not like a projectile where it's hard to react to it

restive carbon
#

stop saying the other person always sucks

#

that's a dumb argument

proud frigate
#

You don't do that when your opponent has a fire or hammer

restive carbon
#

sometimes they aren't! sometimes you can catch them off guard

calm pagoda

Did you see the video tho?

#

Like the ffa on jungle clip?

#

Literally just walks in and hits like 4 people in rapid succession

sometimes it's very hard to avoid a blue shell
you can't claim the other person is always stupid

Please read the convo echo

Then you should've seen the video that was posted 3 times

upbeat nacelle
#

where

restive carbon
#

Also, you guys say that I've been mindlessly arguing and don't change my mind on anything... and while I haven't changed my mind on the core of it all... I HAVE actually read your arguments and they have indeed changed how I think!
-Like Vin 1v1ing me showed me that blue shell side bump isn't as powerful as I thought in 1v1s. I still think it's annoying in FFA.
-Zomble actually convinced me to no longer call it OP. I now call it strong and annoyingly buff. Not OP.
-There was something else I don't remember. πŸ’€ (I guess this convo about the clip above?)

But I feel like you guys are the wall I talk to sometimes. 😭 πŸ™ Don't call me a wall when I AM indeed listening. I can be stubborn I guess but I'm not being mindless.
Idk if this message fully relates to this current convo but I just wanted to point it about because people have kept calling me a wall and I'm a bit annoyed by it. I'm like... only like... a half wall. πŸ’€

proud frigate

he won that match we played

restive carbon
#

You can always take a clip and say, erm, the other player could've done this this and this.

calm pagoda
#

I didn't say that

#

I said they used it bad lol

#

If you use it good you're near unkillable

#

We nerfed propeller for WAY less

proud frigate
restive carbon
upbeat nacelle
#

I just feel that there are also ways to counter it

calm pagoda
#

There's one

#

Positioning

restive carbon
#

by the time someone lines up a ground pound, if they aren't quick enough, you can literally jump back up and fling them before their ground pound animation is done
it's a bit more tight than you all let on

calm pagoda
#

Which is also the counter to EVERY OTHER powerup

upbeat nacelle
#

exept other blue shells

restive carbon
upbeat nacelle
#

thats because it is powerful

#

but not op

restive carbon
#

like 1.7 propeller still has weaknesses, and you can point to any clip of someone using it and say the other person should've done this this and this, but it was still OP

#

the change was welcome. while I thought the nerf was too much at first, I'm fine with propeller how it is now πŸ‘ much better than before

restive carbon
proud frigate
upbeat nacelle
#

and hammer

restive carbon
#

okay but the side bump feels especially annoying? Idk how to respond to that sentence exactly

proud frigate
#

by that logic we better remove Fireballs

#

fireballs are annoying af

restive carbon
#

I guess a better response is that you could say that everything is annoying, therefore, keep 1.7 propeller. Like no... that was especially annoying and powerful.

proud frigate
#

Blue Shell is powerful, but still nowhere near as powerful as fireballs

restive carbon
#

okay but now we go back to what feels correct and intuative in the context of this game
a fireball hitting you and slightly knocking you back makes sense
a blue shell merely touching you with its side flinging you 15 feet doesn't make sense

#

it feels wrong and is also annoying on top of that

proud frigate
#

just don't run into the blue shell

calm pagoda
#

look. it's been about 2.5 weeks since the change was added and there's still a lot more people who dislike it than like it. clearly there's a problem SOMEWHERE.

restive carbon
calm pagoda
#

saying "only bad players get hit by it" is disingenuous and a bad faith argument.

restive carbon
#

that's what I've been saying 😭 πŸ™

proud frigate
calm pagoda
#

people used to complain nonstop about the ice flower and since it's got nerfed it's quieted down to like a few per month at best

#

same with the hammer suit

restive carbon
#

I definitely wouldn't have put THIS much thought into this if it wasn't for Vin initially disagreeing with me and then us going back and forth. lol

calm pagoda
#

but now since they're your blue shell changes, everyone else is wrong?

#

like come on

proud frigate
#

so we make blue shell be a powerUP no one wants to pick UP?

calm pagoda
#

yes, blue shell is supposed to be the "physical attacking" based powerup but when the floor to entry is just "touch someone while crouched" to get a guaranteed star (due to the strength of the knockback)?

restive carbon
#

I've picked it up many times before this update.

restive carbon
proud frigate
#

I'd say people just accepted that the Ice Flower is annoying sometimes

#

it's been like that all through v1.7, through v2.0 until v2.0.4.1

restive carbon
#

I mean I do understand that the blue shell isn't the most powerful thing out there.
I understand wanting to keep this buff because it gives it more use.
The problem IMO is said buff/use because it feels weirdly powerful for an action that is... well... barely an action at all!

calm pagoda
#

ice was annoying because it was super easy to confirm a star grab / kill for doing something relatively simple

#

yes, you could just dodge the ice projectile because it was slow and predictable

#

but that didnt make it fun for when you did get hit

#

super easy to confirm a star grab / kill for doing something relatively simple
could just dodge [...] but that didnt make it fun
sound familiar?

restive carbon
#

Um... I might be dumb πŸ’€ but once again, are you talking to me or notoss? 😭 πŸ™

calm pagoda

notoss

restive carbon
#

ah okay πŸ™

proud frigate
calm pagoda
#

except jungle, you cant confirm a kill without suiciding, no?

proud frigate
#

you don't have to suicide to kill

#

even in FFA I can do the near-suicide kill

#

Windows has done it to me in FFA multiple times

calm pagoda
#

i wouldnt consider that "super easy" for the average player

proud frigate
restive carbon

that's OK, other powerUPs have annoying aspects

That helps are argument though. lol
Blue shell side bump has no risk.

calm pagoda

Just annoyingly strong for a small tap.
exactly

restive carbon

Well with the exception of a ground pound from above. But that is for the blue shell always... and... pretty much anyone at any point in time besides starman, mega, and small stuff like that.

Pluh... are you back on my side? 😭 πŸ™

silk gazelle
#

This is the main problem people have

proud frigate
#

hmm

#

if that's the issue

#

then I have an idea

#

we add UP the speed of the player running into the blue shell, and the blue shell player

restive carbon
proud frigate
restive carbon
#

I feel like that's just making it overcomplicated.

proud frigate
#

I mean nothing is simple

calm pagoda
#

thats how normal ground bumps work

proud frigate
#

exactly

restive carbon
#

wait really? nvm then

proud frigate
#

so we do the same for Blue Shell

restive carbon
#

or the side bump tho?

proud frigate
#

yeah for the side bump

restive carbon
#

it still feels................................................ weird

#

and most people are running at it fast already

proud frigate
#

you wont get bumped unless the blue sheller is GOing high speed into you, or you're running very fast into the Blue Sheller

#

but just lightly tapping it while GOing slower is no bump

calm pagoda
#
FP averageWalkSpeed = (marioAPhysicsInfo.WalkMaxVelocity[marioAPhysicsInfo.WalkSpeedStage] + marioBPhysicsInfo.WalkMaxVelocity[marioBPhysicsInfo.WalkSpeedStage]) / 2;
FP velocityDifference = FPMath.Abs(marioAPhysics->Velocity.X - marioBPhysics->Velocity.X);

if (velocityDifference > averageWalkSpeed) {
    // Bump
restive carbon
#

eh maybe actually not in that clip bad example

#

but most people are running fast into a slow moving blue shell

#

the side bump still feels strong for a mere tap
ground pound actually has power behind it. you wind it up. you go down fast.

proud frigate
restive carbon
#

they also don't lose a star

proud frigate
#

no they still lose a star, but just tapping the blue shell wouldn't make them lose a star

restive carbon
#

it also makes sense

#

?

#

it does tho

#

with this new update

#

I'm going insane. Send help.

calm pagoda
#

they mean with this change, tapping a slow moving one will not lose a star

proud frigate
#

A runs into Blue Shell at "air bump speed" takes knockback, woohoo

#

B is blue sheller

restive carbon
#

so the blue shell side bump ONLY works if the other player is doing fast enough?
I mean... that feels like a half bandaid to the issue. Most people run into a blue shell fast and get flung. It still feels weird.
Honesty... you can make an argument that it SHOULD be like how it is in that video above! The other player just flies back but not knocked back into a free fall while losing a star.

proud frigate
#

I think it'd be weird if they DIDN'T get flung

restive carbon
#

or just... have it knock the player back a little

proud frigate
#

all other cases the player running into other player gets flung back with a lot of speed

restive carbon
#

I mean that aspect of the game?

proud frigate
silk gazelle
calm pagoda
proud frigate
restive carbon
#

I guess not. 😭 πŸ™

calm pagoda
#

speed difference < walk speed = normal air bump
speed difference > walk speed = knockback

restive carbon
proud frigate
#

no

restive carbon
proud frigate
#

I'm GOing outside

restive carbon
#

I think this convo has fried my brain.

restive carbon
#

I've heard rumors about this grass stuff.

#

I'm joking. Idk. 😭 πŸ™

calm pagoda
#

if the speed total is not above walking speed then the player who ran into the blue shell will recieve no knockback

restive carbon
#

So basically... remove shell side bump for slow moving blue shell user? πŸ€”

restive carbon
calm pagoda
#

if they're moving fast, how is that a "simple tap"?

restive carbon
#

oh I mean if they are moving slow

#

yeah, my brain is definitely fried

#

I must've missed something

#

WAIT you talking about the non-blue shell user?

calm pagoda
#

if the speed total is not above walking speed then the player who ran into the blue shell will recieve no knockback

#

combined speed difference

#

so two players both running left wouldnt bump

#

because the difference is zero

proud frigate
restive carbon
silk gazelle
#

Here is how I would rate blueshell compared to fire flower, since it comes up in conversation often.

Fire flower is a great tool, if you have it, you can get juicy combos that give 4+ stars, but it's hard to learn these combos.
Blueshell cannot combo in the same sense as fire flower. It gets slightly worse results, but it is easier to use. At the same time, while it gives slightly worse results, it also is easier to counter than a projectile powerup.
This really explains why there is a lotta arguing on this topic.

I didn't talk that much about fire flower l, since this is about blue shell

#

I don't like comparing it to the fire flower. It feels... like it's almost avoiding the issue I (and others) see in the blue shell side bump.

proud frigate
#

fire flower is a literal game changer, one combo can send a player from leading to dead last

restive carbon
#

that's why I didn't like 2.0 comboes at first
I'm.......... fffffffffffine with them now. lol

how is it not?

the simple tap sending you flying we mean

#

both are a simple tap
the blue shell side bump just feels weirdly powerful

proud frigate
#

if we removed the fireball and just made it a punch, then people would feel like it's more of a simple tap

silk gazelle
#

It feels like something I would actually put in my second slot, compared to something I would throw away before

calm pagoda
#

touching a blue shell with zero speed = hardest knockback in the game

It's unintuative.

proud frigate

it takes skill at least

#

Now that I say it out loud this might be the most balanced blueshell has ever been, since before it was just ass

restive carbon
#

Bro. 😭 πŸ™

proud frigate
silk gazelle
#

Like, 'no experienced players would use it' kind of ass

restive carbon
#

If balancing is having a tap fling you 15 feet... then I think the balance needs to be somewhere else.

#

Idk where it would be though. My point is just that the side tap feels wrong.

restive carbon

#

I still fear that with this nerf it'll make Blue Shell pretty useless and unfeared

silk gazelle

blue shell wasn't useless before the bump

#

how would it be after a slight nerf

I never picked that thing UP, and everyone who did and used it would be treated like they had a mini mushroom

bro if you have a blue shell on bricks in a ffa you can just kill everyone'

I would compare blueshell pre buff to a near party trick I use for fun

Does this one mechanic hurt the play experience this much?

proud frigate
#

I'm surprised ipod is taking me seriously with this pfp

restive carbon
#

I mean it does sometimes actually.

#

Hence why I came here looking for this suggestion thread in the first place.

#

If it wasn't here, I would've made it myself. Windows10V just beat me to it.

proud frigate
#

I think that Blue Shell SHOULD have some annoying things about it, like every powerUP does

restive carbon
#

So just because some powerups have annoying stuff, justifies this to be annoying?

proud frigate
#

yeah

#

it's like Kirby in Smash Melee

silk gazelle

#

I said that because it's a stupid argument.

proud frigate

#

Sorry I've been having a bad day recently

restive carbon
#

ipod please come back and help me 😭 πŸ™

#

I feel like I'm losing my mind with these arguments.

silk gazelle
calm pagoda
#

insane that youd say slightly nerfing the side bump would be equivalent to having "no cool tech or anything"

#

when you litearlly added faster slope speed gain and guaranteed speed preservation as well in the same update

restive carbon
#

speaking of slopes, I know I said this, but one of the slopes in Ghost House JUST to the right of spawn is broken and the blue shell doesn't go up it correctly I think

proud frigate
calm pagoda
#

??????

#

if the blue shell guy is completely stationary then yeah?

proud frigate
#

even if the blue shell guy is moving

calm pagoda
#

?

Idk what's super wrong about these statements. If they are, my brain is fried I guess. Idk. I'm not saying I'm perfect at debating. Also, my mind has changed about stuff over time. Not saying that was the case for those screenshots above.

proud frigate
#

there's not many stages where you can do hyper speed, nor can you keep it that easily

calm pagoda
#

(above walking speed [blue shell]) - (zero [the other guy]) = above walking speed = knockback

restive carbon
#

THE POINT IS THAT A TAP SHOULD NOT SEND SOMEONE FLYING!

#

THAT IS IT!

#

I'M GOING INSANE!

#

OH MY GOSH! HELP!

valid crashout

proud frigate
#

becauswe for some weird reason you couldn't do it that easily in v2.0.4.1

restive carbon
#

I'm going insane because I feel like you guys tip toe around the initial problem me and others have with this side bump in the first place.

#

That something that low effort and small has as big of a reaction as it does.

#

I actually feel dizzy.

one time I played a match and it just shocked me seeing the way the other player played

I mean, I only really see one person at this point complaining about side bump so...

silk gazelle
#

Were both dedicated to keep/remove it

#

He means the others he asks in real mvlo lobbies

#

Not discord

I see I see

if no one cared there wouldnt be 2k messages in this thread

restive carbon

I honestly think that's why this thread is so long.

calm pagoda

Because of me and Vin's initial debate.

earnest sphinx
calm pagoda
#

that's what we're saying

#

thanks for agreeing

earnest sphinx
#

but does this thread need to be 2k messages long to get that point across? no

#

NOT THE SIDE BUMP MLJKADFHLJKNFDAMKLJNHDAFLKMHMLKDFAHFDas

earnest sphinx
#

the bottom line is this: just nerf the side bump to be a regular bump and not a ground pound bump, its not that difficult to reach this conclusion

proud frigate
#

regular bump has its issues tho...

spark raptor
proud frigate
earnest sphinx
#

execution with the maximum knockback might be a little messy but its still a good idea to include, just nerf it
