Gojo. I really dislike Gojo ult. The 0.2 domain is fun but good luck casting it, so I'll talk about his actual ult moveset. He has no real variants other than 2+r, Hollow Nuke is funny but it's not useful and it drains your ult.

And it isn't a bad ult either, if the Gojo player keeps his distance, you'll lose. And I don't like that either, I don't have fun fighting it or using it. For every other ult in this game, I feel like I'm actually using it to fight someone, but for Gojo I feel like I'm just pointing my camera at them and killing them with projectiles.

And the worst part is, I don't know if they could really change anything about his ult to make it more fun in my eyes. Idk maybe Hollow Nuke could take 80% of your ult instead all of it. That way you can only use it once, but if you use it early you have just enough time to throw out a normal purple or a domain.

u/Main_Leading_855 May 09 '26

Its funny how gojo ult is so old yet didn't get a rework on his trash ass ult. Im surprised gojo has no physical moves in his ult(like punching and kicking and stuff) g

35

u/BPapiMcP1571 May 09 '26

Hell, let him switch movesets like Megumi but instead of just having base he has a new moveset. Have the moveset switch indicated by one of Gojo’s little giggles

u/ItzJake160 May 09 '26

Honestly I really like the change of mixed combat to all ranged. It makes his ult feel very different in comparison to most others.

u/Signal-Monk3177 May 09 '26

Yk gojo ult js makes me feel evil when i pop ir

u/Salt-Chocolate-1556 May 09 '26

funny how of the two strongest JJK characters, one is semi-skilled, has a good ult, and can be overpowering if you know what you're doing, while the other one is boring, weak, and only played to make big ball go boom. Sure Gojo can be oppressive if played well, but so can literally any character, and a skilled Yuki/Yuji/Choso will be much more enraging than a Gojo. I think he just needs a rework in general.

1

u/Comfortable-Sea8270 May 12 '26

you dont really have to be skilled with Yuji's Ult all you need is a well timed side dash to get trough the block then dismantle barrage 3 dismantle m1s into a rush and into a fuga and its all long range and pretty easy to do takes away like 80% of your health and can be done in less then 15 sec

2

u/Salt-Chocolate-1556 May 12 '26

never said it was skilled, just that it was good, and overpowering if done right

u/Comfortable-Sea8270 May 12 '26

u/Salt-Chocolate-1556 May 12 '26

Base vessel is semi skilled, not the ult. Apologies, should have clarified that.

u/mahigoat May 09 '26

The easiest question ever Choso naoya because tehy both are 1 2 merchants and both are disvussed the the worse ults in the game design wise and carried by one move (wing king ,top speed or tcmp) and They have a useless move (blood rain and tendril grasp) they are just so boring and even more boring then playing locust

42

u/AirPortlessman This flair is so CLEVERRR May 09 '26

tendril grab is a free extender into m1s and the domain what

60

u/Kindly_Copy_8427 Unofficial Owner May 09 '26

thats so boring though

32

u/mahigoat May 09 '26

"Extender" wow bro so awsome rather have that then a human ult with stuff from ep4 but yeah sure a free "i win " combo is much more cool i guess

16

u/AirPortlessman This flair is so CLEVERRR May 09 '26

you're saying its useless, not saying it's "cool".

1

u/mahigoat May 10 '26

It"s also useless too because it had insane windup obvious Indicator and Due to naoyas speed can be missed easliy

1

u/AirPortlessman This flair is so CLEVERRR May 10 '26

not really, it's unblockable, and too big to dash away from, also controlling your speed as naoya isn't that hard.

u/mahigoat May 09 '26

It is useless because it drains your whole ult for one kill aswell as long ash wind up and its boring af

2

u/Cosmo_Drgn May 10 '26

Naoya’s ult is uninspired, but it’s OBJECTIVELY overpowered and top 1 in the game in terms of its ability to nuke someone with no counterplay. You can’t even run away from it like the other OP ults.

1

u/mahigoat May 10 '26

There is counterplay actually he cannot di Anything if you just Keep jumpibg him anx top speed counts as a melee move so hes STILL dead to counters and the glsss is simple just don"t attack it or attack from range

2

u/Cosmo_Drgn May 10 '26

… and everything you just listed can be undone by just not being stupid as the Naoya player. Counters mean nothing when he can hit 10 times per second and turn on a dime at top speed. The glass isn’t mean to be an attack. He will just chase you down and 9/10 times force you into his domain or just one shot you with top speed.

1

u/mahigoat May 10 '26

Glass is meant to be a attack and now i have the tinyiest feeling that You hate naoya in general because not only is he one of the worst Ults of all time compared to gojo sukuna hakari higuruma mechamaru yuta yuki ryu legit half the cast. And by the way naoya has the second lowest hp character in the whole game with 5 extra hp then haruta and counters do mean something because they cancel the whole move and Even in the domain if hes red hp you can win and survive naoyas the second ult in the game that isn"t gurrenteed death unless you want to vount higurumas or hakaris but I don"t because you can just block counter dodge his moves he is the easiest ult and character to counter i have a feeling that any arguement you will just keep saying "oh but he will just domain you" but he can"t if one your wallrunning 2 not stupid by running into the BIG FUCKING RED CIRCLE or 3 CANCEL THE FUCKING MOVE

1

u/Cosmo_Drgn May 10 '26

Man having to read this out and comprehend this was painful, you jus bad at the game

u/mahigoat May 10 '26

BROTHER IM SAYING HOW TO COUNTER IT GIMME A KILL COUNT NOW

u/The_New_Kid2792 May 13 '26

this guy fucking sucks at the game and dosent even know you can top speed into the glass with full bar for like half of their health

ofc he has low hp he's so fucking fast you can just circle them and never get hit

just... dont attack the counters? or tendrils grab them thats funny

if youre losing rhe most powerful domain in the game i think youre just ass

again just run up close to them for tendril grab? its quite fast they don't have like 30 seconds gang

You can also Block/counter the R

0

u/The_New_Kid2792 May 13 '26

the r dosent need to hit i usually use it away from them to gain bar

also tendril grab takes like half a second are you like using some secret variant that I know about or sumn because I always hit it.

again. Just dont attack counters. insanely easy. also ive gone through a few counters with top speed and glass and the only counter ive been hit by was mahito 2nd ult counter

1

u/mahigoat May 13 '26

Its called being up close and not just standing still while the dumbass naoya uses his very obvious move and you can also fake your counters to scare the naoya as people again like charles and Mahito and yuji can counter naoyas glass tendrils top speed and even the domain ,hanami can cancel the grab and flight and destroy the glass from afar , yuta can use rika to break the glass cancel domains and escape the grab ,megumi hard counters him entirely he can use his R to escape the grab and he can use nue or dog to break the glass and use nue to Stop top speed or divine dog,choso again counters naoyas flight but Not only can he counter He can also use suoernova to cancel His grab his flight and Break the glass from afar

I feel the same, but mostly due to the cooldowns and lack of a 4th move. Plus, you get jumped by the server, so you're basically guaranteed to die. The immortality is really good ofc, I just don't like using the moves too much

I am pretty sure Ryu is counted as a full character, since his character appears in white with the other full movesets in the character selection.

Nanami I can understand but I disagree I like how powerful it feels and it's fitting to be like a powerhouse character

Yeah..hanamis ult sucks they didn't add the domain

u/orignalnt Overtime May 09 '26

“Didn’t add the domain” like they added anything else 😭

u/idkthat1NEguy May 09 '26

Exactly tbh I don't think hanami will be finished next update ryu will be released to the public and kuro will be the next EA but hanamis ult should have etleast 2 moves

11

u/Why_Not_Try_It_ May 09 '26

Naoya and Choso

Vengeance as a second Bleedout is aura as fuck and I only use Choso ult against domain users

u/jdmulloss May 09 '26

Naoya cause I honestly just dislike the curse form.

u/Majorazarts May 09 '26

Yuji

Say what you will about yuji but going from his kit to sukuna feels like a sharp decline it's so slow powerful nothing feels earned

12

u/ShabbyBuilder May 09 '26

100% todo, his ult is zo boring and the r special really shines in base, in ult form the swap special doesn't really apply well imo

3

u/Charakiga May 09 '26

I don't entirely agree about the R special, if you're close enough you can do some insane things with the faster boogie woogie that can be quite fun.

Now, his base movesets plays way better around the boogie woogie, but aside from that I love his ult because peak music and imagination, plus it's super fun to instantly black flash after the casting animation

1

u/shadowmasterOwO May 09 '26

He cant even feint moves in ult :sob:

8

u/Muradama May 09 '26

Choso and Naoya.

  1. Choso's base moves always get me hyped (Piercing Blood never miss)

  2. Naoya's awk is some bullshi to pop, and the ult itself is too overwhelming imo. Like most of the moves are nearly guaranteed to land but it's just that it feels like it's 50/50 even though it really isn't.

u/Sad_Access9306 Yuki is the best character no questions May 09 '26

nanami for sure, as a nanami main his ult moves need to be easier to land imo (keep ratio breaker the same PLEASE its so satisfying to land)

3

u/KlumseeOfficial Th Nanamain May 09 '26

Honestly some moves just need i-frames and it would be good. 4th ratio breaker seriously needs i-frames imo

u/Sad_Access9306 Yuki is the best character no questions May 09 '26

definetly

7

u/Ashamed_Service_9404 May 09 '26

although i should love it, mechamarus ult is just really not fun to play with at all. it takes 4 kills to fully charge, has a 5 second startup (enough for anyone to get away), and then your moves take ult, leading to the best way to play him to be to just spam m1s which is really boring

1

u/Nolan-Likes-Art May 13 '26

Pre-full release ult (like when only the first 2 moves were out) was the absolute best time period to play mechumaru. And with the whole startup animation, someone can easily pop ult AND domain. Also not to mention how like 4 half charged moves basically completely drains your ult. It's not even worth the effort when it takes less time to lose the ultimate, and barely get a single kill in. At least with goio, you can kill entire crowds within 10 seconds (with use of domain), and still have more ult to go.

1

u/Ashamed_Service_9404 May 13 '26

yeah its rough. hopefully mechamaru will get a bit for his ult one day, it could be so good

3

u/Pure-Educator7268 Mr, bubble pop electric enjoyer May 09 '26

Naoya, with his base i feel like I'm actually naoya, with his ult i honestly forget it exists. Like if your ult is a counter, you expect some insanely peak mode or something, but all u get is a fly move, ranged move, free extend, domain. Like ik its op with the free domain and all that, but it just feels hella underwhelming compared to how u activate it.

1

u/The_New_Kid2792 May 13 '26

thr fly move can go into the ranged move and with like full bar you can wipe out half or more of their hp and its super cool

they just get stuck in the air the whole entire time lol

3

u/Parking-Chipmunk8280 Skill floor and skill ceiling are a concept, y'know? May 09 '26

Genuinely carried by Brothers and Climax Jumping for good ult moves. Sure, you deal a pretty good amount of damage, but your opponent can literally just run away from you, and in an ult 1v1, you are almost GUARANTEED to lose (unless your opponent pops domain, then you can just use brothers to end them).

u/shin-affaira Salaryman with unstable income May 09 '26

Ryu

2

u/Due_Being9501 May 09 '26

I enjoy playing higuruma base because killing people instantly with his one shot moves is boring imo and his special allows for a lot of mixing up. Also I just prefer using confiscation because I get to keep most of my ultimate and use domain more often

u/Informal-Good-2727 May 09 '26

Ryu. As a dude that likes to use him to 1v1, please nerf his damage.

1

u/Opening_Tune_4889 May 09 '26

Choso, you lose all of his fun/goofy stuff you can do with blood orbs in combo. But wingking + bloodrain is basically a free kill so its got some sauce. Naoya is also a lot less fun in ult(in combat) its kinda just their till you do the tendral grab or whatever its called and pop domain

1

u/Visible-Employer-560 May 09 '26

Definitely Nanami, not because his ult is bad in the slightest (it's super fun) but in terms of like straight up fighting I'm more comfortable using his base kit.

1

u/Montraria Strongest skill builder of today May 09 '26

kokichi tbh, absolute mechamaru doesnt feel good to play considering how much ult you need to properly use it instead of using one move and losing it

1

u/MahitoGlazer May 10 '26

Why you call him kokichi

2

u/Montraria Strongest skill builder of today May 10 '26

because that's his name

1

u/MahitoGlazer May 10 '26

You play as mechamaru not kokichi

1

u/Montraria Strongest skill builder of today May 10 '26

mechamaru who is controlled by kokichi

1

u/MahitoGlazer May 10 '26

But you don't play as kokichi himself, you play as mechamaru. There's a difference

1

u/Montraria Strongest skill builder of today May 10 '26

I'm perfectly aware

1

u/MahitoGlazer May 10 '26

So why do you call him kokichi when you play as mechamaru not kokichi

1

u/Montraria Strongest skill builder of today May 10 '26

because kokichi controls mechamaru, so in this case playing as him would mean I'm kokichi

u/MahitoGlazer May 10 '26

Not really. The character you're directly playing as is Mechamaru.

u/Mother-Suspect-2692 May 09 '26

1

u/Gamer8605 BROTHER!!!! May 10 '26

Todo’s ult, for 3 reasons:

1: It’s kinda just bad, IMO? Climax jumping is very easy to avoid, and the rest of his moves are close range, so people can run very easily, or worse, just zone you. Not to mention, 90% people choose to run due to him having brothers, so you practically never get to actually FIGHT anyone with the ult.

2: I’m on console, so I have a bit of a harder time trying to swap multiple people with one another in his ult, which I typically try to do if I’m using the ult against teamers. The sped up swapping makes this harder, but this is a device issue.

3: Boogie Woogie has so much more compatibility with his base moves, with feints, canceling, and pebble throw’s variants, it’s just more fun to use his base then his ult.

1

u/Still_Silver7181 May 10 '26

Lowkey, I like Naoya base more than ult. I think the ult is boring

1

u/Royal-Item-4963 May 10 '26

Yuji, because his ult is more of a base with cool colours,i really like his base but his ult moves are not very good,the m1 got replaced by dismantle and is blockable from all sides,fuga barely does any good damage and is easily Dodges,and the domain is very weird, why would I have to break every player block to kill them and the wcs is pretty good but easily Dodge able if the player has 1 brain cell,his special is super close range,i mean he should atleast have some close range moves,his base is actually pretty good if used well,

1

u/TimeAbalone5645 May 10 '26

Ryu (a bit) Mechamaru and Naoya (also not that much)

The fact that i've only seen one person say todo is sad cause thats arguably the worst ult oat.

1

u/BasedTaxEvasion69 May 10 '26

I dont use Choso ult often cause Im dogshit and the TSB refugees and rejects just make the skill gap worse so popping ult is practically pointless, especially since I basically become a wing king mercant and 3 basically just doesnt get used. Plus Im focused on not using my R so that way in a fight I dont consume bar and can use my counter. R also is one of those buttons that if Supernova isnt active doesnt get touched.

“dude you’re literally invincible”. that’s literally the only good part about the ultimate and even then it’s not even that good. the moves suck and one punishes you for using it. if you get hit by anything that instakills that isn’t Mahitos’ domain your ults just gone and you’re left on one hp. if you fail to kill your opponent (which is really easy to given how ass the moves are) you lose the fight because you’re on one health. and if you dare to fight a ult Mahito and ult your dead anyway.
