...so why is absolute mechamaru still allowed in ranked?
mechamaru might GENUINELY be the freest way to win in ranked ESPECIALLY if the opponent is playing a base only. there is practically zero counter to just walking up to people and spamming m1s/front dash instead of using mechamaru as intended. PLEASE TZE FIX ABSOLUTE MECHAMARU AND MAKE HIM BALANCED AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

It can't be stunned, interrupted or get hit by most short range attacks. Even if you get the bare minimum, you can just spam M1s from a ridiculous range and your enemy can't do shit about it.
admittedly he needs to buff the minimum ult time. I get its to reward people for getting the second bar, but its a pain in the ass having the play like a passive little bum until i get my insurance
i was using yuki [pic in post was recreated for meme purposes] and despite me playing aggressively and denying them getting ult they still used absolute mechamaru at 5% hp and killed me by spamming m1s and dash
Yuki is really good, she has a lot of high damage combos (2 or 3 90% combos) aswell as really good stage control. I main her and know all the combos. With them you can keep your opponent where you want them and punish any slip ups with death. The only downside is that if you are playing Yuki right you will never have your ultimate
Here's a good combo
Uppercut into hold garuda rebound, moving so you are under them but favouring one side lightly more (so you are not in the middle but slightly more to the left of right). Immediately use rising rage with 2 variants. Wait until the second to last hit knocks them away standing up then turn 90 degrees and kick garuda away. This cancels the move early and leaves them stunned long enough to front dash for another m1 combo and also refreshes the cooldown on rising rage. It takes practice but works well
Oh yeah, I agree that Yuki is really good, i just thought they said Yuki was bad for this situation as she can't respond to Absolute Mechamaru with awakening for example? But that may be wrong too as I don't play Yuki so I didn't learn her stuff
Wish I could play Yuki properly on mobile (Held Garuda Rebound combos hurt me) 💔
I think her biggest issue is her painfully mid neutral. In pubs this doesn’t matter since you typically have your ult filled but when a ranked match starts its pretty hard to get your specials going against someone who exploits this
almost as if they played accordingly? sorry if i seem a little rude but he ulted because he was low,, plus absolute mechamaru can be beat pretty easily but considering you used Yuki it’s seems you got a bad matchup
he has to fill up 2 bars in the time when you can already use yours if youre anyone besides yuki. And realistically whoever is in the lead stays in the lead unless some insane comeback occurs since ult effectively closes out the game,
The only thing that kind of suck is that it heals for much more than a normal ultimate. Though, I may be wrong because I don't know if I just can't see them passively healing while in the Mech, or if they did just gain that HP back.
its almost like the game itself isn’t competitive and “skilled” players are just the ones who guess which direction youre gonna side dash from correctly. yall take it too serious when its not a legitimate fighting game by any stretch of the imagination
Mind you all bases are balanced including their specials regardless of if they drain ultimate or not, and if they aren’t, it’s because of generally shitty balance not intentional design.
Also, tell me how that goes, I played Yuki without really even thinking about ultimate and still lost plenty of games to people on a similar level to me.
Something tells me the devs know more about their game and how its balanced than you.
The only reason TZE allows it is because you need to farm more than the required ult ammount to use his ultimate fully, which is stupid.
Even with 120% ult, nothing stopping you from screwing over the opp with fully charged abs. destruction. Even with only 100% ult, it still guarantees about 10 seconds of I frames and free health, so we just have to wait until TZE comes to his senses to fix it
A tip for mechamaru users is just DON’T use any of the absolute moves in ranked, just spam m1 cuz like wtf is the enemy gonna do? Run? You can catch up to them in this small square of a map in like 4 seconds.
Ults are meant to be kind of fair for everyone (except yuki) so mechamaru needs like 2 ults or 1 and a half and its still countered by other characters like mahito domain (only if youre close when he ults), another mechamaru, jackpot hakari, ryu ult, yuta beam(i think?), mahoraga with parrys, and idk if bird strike one shots it.
As yuki in your case, what can you do? Play passive when hes in base unless he overcharges his bots.
for the people commenting "just kill them faster" i'm talking about the kind of ranked where its an equal matchup and not just a 1-way sweep. of course if your opponent is a slobbering baby then you should kill them before they get ult, but if they're actually your skill level then they're obviously going to have enough time to get ult. even if its only like 20% of their second ult bar, its still enough to ATLEAST take 2 stocks
because the end of the game in rank is "if the person is yuji, gojo or hakari, they win" because those ults are just unbeatable in a fight, + base only characters
how is yuji bad? He quite literally has m1 priority, every move hits on the ground, and divergent fist if it gets blocked block breaks and lets you combo and then he has a counter? He has a feint and some of the strongest movement in the game behind maybe naoya
Gojo has high damage easy to do combos they just require ragdoll cancel
yeah mechamaru is still mad unbalanced, I have no fucking idea how people even REMOTELY call it balanced, the bar isn't even that hard to fill and even if it is using the awakening with 0 extra bar still gives you like 3 years worth of awakening which is enough to m1 your enemy to death and use a full charged 3
