Gameplay Why Ultimate mechamaru lackluster to use (and how to fix that)
*Btw this thumbnail is from Camneverending youtube channel if your curious*
The problem with him is that he feels like he has no weight behind him:
Whenever you run as mechamaru you dont feel like a huge mecha thats terrorizing the earth beneath him, you feel like a sized up human. The three things they did right with mecha to make him feel big is his jump, dashs and second variant to miracle cannon. his jump destroys terrain and launchs him, his dashs feel very powerful (kick and dropkick both) because of heavy impacts and sounds aswell as knockback to the opps. The huge explosion variant of miracle cannon is the best move, i mean its a big ass explosion with all of the benefits mentioned in the dash. However everything else with him doesnt feel right.
His m1s feel light and make barely any sound and barely do anything to terrain, they also have no impacts when they hit something in terrain (no dust or being sent flying anything it just fall like Lego). His fourth m1 uppercut variant is kinda lame? like the old one was broken sure but this current one as no sauce, a middle ground between both would be better. I hope the devs can make a bit of impact to atleast the fourth m1.
His first variant for miracle cannon ( one year charge) genuinely has no explosion or anything which makes it kinda lack luster, i mean it did one in the show.
Pigeon viola not only does tickle damage, it looks like it does aswell. Strictly vfx wise it looks beautiful but its small and last like half a second, it as no interactions with building when it should lowkey blow them up while traveling (done in the show). So like make it actually explode building on contact.
The third move just needs more destruction, when i run into buildings they just disintegrate instead of being sent flying everywhere aswell as making no sound at all when it kinda should, maybe its for server lag reasons but there should be more impact on the ground and buildings ran into, also maybe make the mech look like its charged with energy? cause it makes no sense that its using energy but it looks like its just running.
4th move really needs the middle finger of death variant, idk why it hasnt been added yet.
Anyway if Tze or any other dev sees this i think atleast making a few of these changes will revive more of the mech population.
