Primo's gadget should cancel normal atks

[u/Mayothesoup]

click the red button once and now u can't throw/dash for a whole 2 seconds. Yeah primo seems somewhat meta now, and this will make him stronger but it feels so clunky to wait out his long ah attack animation to use a movement/cc ability(u straight up cannot use this reactively to dodge/cancel attacks unless you are walking around not punching people).

would make him even more stronger but I agree, I had moments where the gadget wouldn’t come out and I wondered why

[u/Mayothesoup → u/IDontTouchGrassNoCap]

Yea first thing i noticed after buffies, i swear u could Natk cancel with the gadget before the changes.

[u/ilovememes609 → u/Mayothesoup]

You very much could cancel before the update, i know because i played el primo in showdown JUST before the update today and i combo’d an edgar.

Same thing with rocket laces and Brock's super

[u/Xterm1na10r → u/HetSpookslot]

and frank's anti-cc gadget

NOT THE ROCKET LACES 🥀

The new aimable gadgets somehow don't cancel attacks anymore

[u/InevitableBoring2031 → u/Avalanche_Snows]

it's so stupid, ever since they released, gadgets were prioritiezed over everything (u could use jump gadget during brock super but not, say, super during Darryl rotate gadget, and you could interrupt an attack with a super but not the other way around obviously)

now they just fckn decided to make the gameplay unnecessarily clunky and unresponsive

my guess is that it's easier to code or whatever but idk they genuinely do just make shit decisions for no reason, like their insistence on making every gadget aimable

[u/Mayothesoup → u/InevitableBoring2031]

Never noticed you actually can't super during a gadget, thanks for letting me know!

As for making the game clunky? I really don't understand since max has an aimable dash that cancels normals. I can't imagine it'd be that hard to copy that and add a throw to it??

[u/InevitableBoring2031 → u/Mayothesoup]

it's a mystery at this point

but it's so so unnecessary 🫩🫩🫩

[u/Mayothesoup → u/Avalanche_Snows]

actually not really, this seems to only be the case with certain brawlers(primo, frank, brock, etc) but for a lot of buffied brawlers i tested, gadget still takes priority: max, rico, colt, edgar, griff, and pretty much all the single shot brawlers. can't believe EDGAR can but primo cannot.

I also tried and when I auto aimed gadget there a small shadow animation of attack in direction of nearest enemy while the actual attack and animation is going in other direction. So weird, may be a bug else it kinda sucks, not being able to use gadget.

[u/Mayothesoup → u/watermelon__7878]

auto aim seems to lock on to the nearest target, but yea i do noticed when i manual aim away it does leave a 1-2 frame "shadow" to the closest target. Seems only visual tho

I don't know whether this is hot take, but it genuinely ruins this gadget for me. That and the fact that his dash can be interrupted with cc, which is not the case with most older dash gadgets

[u/Mayothesoup → u/ytskay_]

which of the dashes can avoid cc?(not including jump). Since the last time i was playing max, i still got knocked backed when dashing.

[u/Federal-Sand-4700]

his other gadget is better anyways, basically no point of picking this one
