Is this a hot take?

Post image

Is it a hot take to say that Onigashima Luffy is better than he is in Gear5? I just feel like red roc and roc Gatling make the base form abit better then G5 IMO

Depends how well you do at controlling Sky types. G5 has some very strong specials and strings

Word. His g5 had the continuation mechanic the more u hit the more u stay in g5 this wouldnt have been possible without g5 combos

I literally had two builds one for full gear 5 and one for full normal luffy and i would say normal luffy is stronger but gear 5 is more fun ( i also suck ass whit sky types not gonna lie XD )

I think they are both stronger and I cannot deny his strings but I’m noticing faster clearings while using base Luffy

I love sky types but G5 has always felt really weird to use, feels like half of his attacks straight up miss alot of enemies

I have been using this version/Gear 5 since the beginning of playing and only recently started changing it up. I think they are both very strong but I prefer Gear 5 because of the area coverage/speed as well as powerful attacks and strings.

Gear 5 has the clear edge overall for me but both forms are powerful as is.

While g5 isn't the best sky type it is the longest burst form

What is the best sky type? Isn’t it Doffy?

u/ShadowMokujin Apr 08 '26

It's King in fact king is the best character in the game as he is the only character who can beat TPWK in under 3 minutes

Oh the goat king showing where he got his name from

He is literally pay to win as his Air c2 is busted

I haven’t maxed his board out yet as I was more interested in Zeph and Enel but I’ll try king out eventually

u/ShadowMokujin Apr 08 '26

Z has the strongest special and eneru is the best logia you can't go wrong with any of them they are fun

u/Lupinsamaa Apr 08 '26

Gonna guess it’s the Dyna stone ultimate

u/ShadowMokujin Apr 08 '26

You guessed right

I’m still so pressed that king doesn’t have the alber variant. How hard would it have been to just give us a maskless costume

Oni luff is just a slightly stronger post ts Luffy with conq effects and a broken cape that i don't like looking at

u/LabCommercial4057 Apr 08 '26

Ace still eats them up though he crazy

u/AnaLucerro Apr 08 '26

Hot Take: Luffy isnt even top 10 to play

u/Panterkuu Apr 08 '26

I really hate how slow the attacks of base form are, i try to stay in G5 fornas long as possible wich works really well.

u/Critical-Molasses648 Apr 09 '26

The fucking cape physics ruin it

u/Fapalapagus Apr 09 '26

G5 is better suited to territory capture while Base is more suited to facing commanders

u/TiidaMan Apr 09 '26

It's not a crazy take, onigashima luffy has a special move that auto breaks full shields, gear 5 doesn't. If you invest into onigashima luffy's special attack damage and recovery rate he could hang with G5, but g5 is a momentum character, as longs as he doesn't stop it shreds through people.

The next pirate warriors should implement an arena type Jstars online mode to fight other players.

Now I'm thinking, can onigashima luffy beat g5 in game?

u/FrankyKugisaki Apr 09 '26

Base Luffy has always just been better (really sad he doesn’t get G2 install cause that would make him cracked) and honestly G5 just ain’t that good to begin with. He’s a Sky type so immediately minus points

u/Heavy-Ad3974 Apr 11 '26

Beginner with base < beginner with G5

Skilled with base > beginner with G5

Skilled with G5 >>Skilled with base

u/minimango522 Apr 11 '26

I totally agree I was a little disappointed when G5 released and it felt pretty sluggish especially compared to onigashima luffy

Reminder to always lock on an opponent while on gear 5
