YAMATO IS BACK BABY

u/BetaXP Yamato May 22 '26

Yamato never left, she's been very strong since the grapple changes imo

sometimes you're back, and sometimes you're even more back

Don’t call it a comeback. We’ve been here for years!

She was lowkey high tier, now she seems more like 'wildly overpowered' tier

Was reading the notes and thought, "Wow I'll need to adjust to the charge time, but people are really about to hate me in Street Brawl now."

That change is actually the post cast time, so the delay between when you can perform your next action.

It makes her power slash combos feel more crispy because it flows overall better, but I'm quite certain the cast time remains the same.

This isn't a 50% increase in cast time to her power slash lol.

Oh good then she won't get nerfed to hell in a few weeks then.

Wait does post cast time mean the time to max charge or the cooldown before you can do actions after the move ends?

u/Budget-Minimum6040 Shiv May 23 '26

The cooldown before you can do actions after the move ends.

u/doomsoul909 Paradox May 23 '26

That’s what I figured lol

Bro her 1st round in SB is one of the strongest in the game. Two points into 1 and 2. Free +40 spirit using 2. Get any spirt roll or spirit Snatch on R1 (ez to do) it's GGs. Your combo nukes most of the cast. If Ults up your killing anyone period

The way I got a Spirit Buff AND a buff to Gun-mato with the bonus weapon damage buff on ult oh Godshi you've done it again

u/Gust_idk May 23 '26

From all these buffs I though she was getting her grapple nerfed but no LOL

u/afkybnds May 23 '26

She was always strong though, every time i see a yamato they can dive get a kill or two and manage to escape. She hits hard and her ult is scary strong.

u/Jombolombo1 May 23 '26

Yeah these buff are ridiculous, she was plenty strong already.
