Nate Bihldorff jamming out! Edit: Some of the timings are specific to Shy Guy Fall's melody and rhythm, even if you make the tempos match. Imagine what a "Shy Guy" version of Choco Mountain could sound like if a voice actor tailored the performance for this song specifically!

To be fair, the download page does say it’s recommended to read the manual

RIPO Eggman Nightclub

It's not a bad game from my own experience but its VERY bloated with pointless mechanics and bad changes to what made SRB2K good. Drifting feels sluggish and slow for no reason. There's no point to trick springs outside of VERY few courses. Fast fall just feels like a bad decision and the bounce when you land makes it feel terrible to use. Spindash is barely usable outside of POSITION Phase. Insta-Whip is more punishing for YOU to use often than not (you never want to have 0 rings in online). The drifting and control in SRB2K feels tight, fast, and responsive which really made the game stand out from other kart racers. Drifting in Ring Racers got heavily nerfed to justify the existence of the Ring Boost mechanic, and now it just feels punishing to use drift at all without ring boosting through it. Inclines, oh my god inclines are GOD AWFUL in Ring Racers. If you get hit on an incline you're basically screwed if your ring count is too low. Most of the mechanics in Ring Racers besides the main Ring mechanic itself just... have no point. To be honest the game would be better off removing a ton of these out of place mechanics and fixing some pre-existing ones to be more in line with the games predecessor.

frankly i love the visual improvements but the gameplay just feels horrid i hate the ring mechanic and i actually feel SLOW playing a SONIC RACING GAME i am glad some people still keep their SRB2K servers up and running

This game has so much effort put into it, especially solo, BUT GOD DAMN does the default driving feel like ass. I had a couple hundered hours in srb2k and understood the game well enough, but this game feels like my tires are greased up and like someone put about 600 lbs worth of bricks in my kart, because it feels so slow and slippery, i get it. Its because of ring boosts and tricks and the like, which is fine but it is NOT for me. Og kart felt better to play in every single possible way, i kinda wish the solo content and tricks were in the og kart, but the rings mechanic is what really turns me off. Im so glad they decided to make this its own game, because i played the solo content for this and then went right back to srb2k. Good video though!

How do you not flip

Hi, I want to play srb2 kart, I'm new so I don't know which version I should play rings racers or regular srb2 kart. are they the same? Which version has more mods? What version is the one that people play the most? Thanks to whoever is going to answer me xD if anyone even answers me 😢

Finally, someone else sees the beauty of a pseudo-charge hold on Hydra! Love to see your interpretation of it, and I hope something similar to it is put into the game. It’d encourage Hydra to run both Run and Swim Speed to maximize both mobility while charging and how quickly they can reposition with swimming in order to minimize charge decay.

Changes I'd Add, Glooga 47.5 standard damage and 52.5 turret or 40 base, and 60 turret damage Hydra damage increase from 40->45 and shoot 2-5 more shots extending the duration BigBubbler now has Sub Power up letting you jump to it really fast

can start like a project m type fan game with community patches like this? i feel like that would go so hard

hot take as a dynamo main i think that there's 2 ways the vertical can be fixed, buff frame data, or make it do 100 damage at max range, like the weapon could actually function as a backline that's scary if the vertical flick functioned.

Tbh, I've played this. i am really mixed about it. i love it how it's unique racer and trying new things. But it's really hard to use to cause of the other mechanics. I spent about 2 hours trying to do the tutorial lolololol. Planning to play rn too tho lol

This was really good.

Oof, Daytona's music got downgraded.

It’s taken me way too long to realize that the actual shield part of Brella is so bad that I should stop using it and just use the regular shots. It’s like in Smash melee where Zelda players only play sheik

Overall good and interesting ideas, but there is one I disagree with. Now look I might be a massive .52 hater, but any sort of rng nerf is always terrible and makes the weapons just feel clunky and unreliable. I feel like they are the worst types of balance changes and should be avoided mostly. I purpose a different way to nerf .52 is make the ink efficiency way worse. The weapon being able to just throw walls constantly and paint safely while being able to take fights is a bit extreme I feel. Making the weapon still have that safe pressure and fast two shot just with more downtime I think is a healthier way to nerf it.

Simple fix with 52 gal, give it really high recoil, no more rng spread. The recoil will be hard to contro even for good players l but the damage will be more consistent so it doesn't feel cheap to die to as well, and increase the ink consumption by 10%

I really really wish nintendo was willing to make more intense changes like these. The meta has been stale for over a year ;-;

Remove paint fallof: main weapons paint decrease when you are slightly higher, it's even more annoying for brushes and rollers. .52 gal: on top of the rng nerf, its ink consumption is increased so it has 52 shots. Pro: it was hella nerfed in splatoon 2; All the mpu nerfs are now reveresed, give it s1 range and s1 shot velocity. Nova: give it the same rng as splattershot and increase damage to 28 (dual squelsher is now back). Agree for l-3, idk why it has rng H-3: on top of the firerate buff give it 10% more ink efficiency and the same range as .96 gal. Squeezer: tap shot firerate is 1 frame slower per shot, tap shot ink consuption is also increased by 2%. idc about the tap fire change, as long as it is an option we can turn off. I agree with the rollers and brush changes,but i would add 2 things: add a melee hitbox that deals max damage and can overlap with bullets (like splatanas, particularly usefull for brushes and big swig) and make damage take a bit longer to decrease. Big swig: vertical hitbox is wider to match the arrows. Squiffer doesn't need more range, making it light weight is enough. Pencil: give it splat charger range, give it *1 object damage multipliers. Bamboozler: give it *1 object damage multipliers. Gootuber: 1st charge is 15 frames faster and has 1/2 of a line more range than squiffer, 2nd charge is 5 frames faster and has bamboo range. The charging speed is overall 20 frames faster. Your changes can be a nice bonus. Give blasters the same IA curve than every other weapons. S-blast: long range mode has the same range as squiffer. Clash blaster: I want to make it a short range rapid blaster by decreasing its blast radius to match rapid and by increasing its damage so indirects deal 32 damage and directs deal 65 damage. Trislosher: fill in the holes on the hitbox. Sloshing machine: on top of your changes, remove fallof damage; Machine's direct projectile has fallof except if you aim upwards, it breaks combos and punish you for being good at the game. Give it 5% more ink efficiency, decrease aoe by 10% and make the RNG lines match the aoe (the circle at the center matches the direct hit, but the aoe as no reticle and the RNG lines are useless. This add a reticle for the aoe while giving a use to the RNG lines.). Agree with blob, you can also take the (very similar) prochara route. Explosher: agree with you but I will add other changes: the direct does 65 damage to combo with the explosion, the explosion's radius is decreased by 20% and the range is slightly increased to cover the aoe nerf. Agree with the splatling changes, but the ink depleting during the charge hold is unecessary for hydra Mini splatling: give it full charge speed in the air and decrease its jump RNG. Ballpoint splatling (this one is similar to your tap shot idea): revese it's recent RNG nerf. Firing modes lasts the entire charge, to switch modes you need to charge again (it matches really well with BP's abillity to charge while firing, that way you can use a mode as long as you want while switching almost instantly to the other mode). Agree with the dualies changes Dualie squelchers: revert all of its mpu nerfs (and not just the dodge roll ink consumption). Glooga dualies:15% more range for all modes, normal damage increased to 48.5, so it can 2-shot with turret mode while being a 3-shot. I agree with most brella changes, however the splatana and stringer damage part is unneeded. Splat and recicled can have a 20% better ink efficiency. You can also give recicled a 100 hp stronger shield. Agree with stringer changes Wellstring: damage increases on the first charge (like the other stringers) and not on the second charge; this will allow better 1-shot oportunities at close range. the arrows unite right at the beginning of the second charge and not slightly before the second charge (again, better 1-shot opportunities). (fun fact; a fully charged shot consumes barely more ink than a tap shot, so you only have 3 more tap shots than fully charged shots) I'm neutral ont the splatana changes Decavitator: reduce the charged slash startup by 10 frames I agree with the curling and utility changes, but bombs can stay the same. for mist, my idea is to give it a disruptor effect for its first frame, it doesn't stack with the mist effect, with this change it will stay at 60% of your ink tank. Agree with most special changes Ink Storm: give it permanent ink resistance (like the ink brush), so the healing buff would be more consistent. Kraken: it should be able to super jump like in s1, Swim Speed Up, Ninja Squid and QSJ affect its movement/jump speed Tri strike: the object multipliers still aplies to the booyah bomb user (like the splatana tech). Splashdown: explosion radius decreased by 7%, outside radius decreased by 20%. Inc Vac: you can cancel into shot mode whenever you want (like ultra stamp). Tacticooler: make it breakable and revert its throw/grab range buffs. With the range nerf, the special saver nerf is overkill. Trizooka is a mess of a code: It has no data for startup lag, so my guess is to make its starting animation longer on top of more firerate lag. It has 3 projectiles that spawn at a different time and appears at the same angle from the previous one (that is moving and is already away from its base position) creating desync from the other shots and a weird hitbox; My guess is to make one big projectile or to make them apear at the same time (and even then it still has a lot of unmentionned junk). Ultra Stamp: like you said, give it front invincibility and revert the shockwave buff. Wavebreaker: the wave thing is horrible up close and it just needs a bit more hp. Points for special (per weapon class) Nzap 89: 190p Aerospray/Sploosh/sploosh neo/tentatek/junior/custom junior/.52 gal deco/jet squelcher/custom jet squelcher/foil squeezer: 200p Splash/neo splash/.52 gal: 210p Gold aerospray:220p Pencil:220p Try nouveau: 200p Slosher/Sloshing machine: 210p Heavy edit: 210p Splat dualies: 200p Rapid blaster deco: 200p Custom range blaster: 210p I'm neutral concerning the other weapons I agree with the gear changes, RP and Haunt should also give you the stolen mobility (1 main of run speed and swim speed) for 20 more seconds I agree with the salmon stuff, splattershot pro should do 50 damage I agree with most of the miscellenaeous changes. Concerning the mashing change, H-3 and L-3 Don't need it, it will turn them away from semi autos into burst fire weapons(similar to blasters) and they will lose their identity. Sorry for the previous comment, I will delete it later, here are my thoughts and ideas for other changes. We actually agree on a lot of things and I apologise for my comment.

The accesibility and quality of life changes are the most usefull and i agree on them the most but for the nozle noses they are useles and for the brushes they hurt the weapon. H-3 and L-3 dont have that fast of a "burst firing rate" and are mostly timing and loosing the burst firing aspect makes them less intersting in term of game design and replaceable by nzap and shot pro. The change on the brushes on the other hand makes it verry anoying to roll after killing someone or painting, hurts their game desing and can even be argued that it should carry over to the rollers or even splatanas if it affects the octobrush and the painbrush. The squeezer change is ok and doesn't hurt the freedom of expression and game design of the weapon.

This is why we let fans design the game. Good stuff!! I'd love to play the game with these updates! (Small suggestion: Because I play Mini Splatling and I'm biased, what if got no charge penalty in the air like Squiffer and Reeflux?)

YOOO ABSENTIA FROM BINDING OF ISAAC

The RP rework is nice but I don't like the idea of reducing mobility, lowering mobility at all feels terrible and makes the player more vulnerable to chip damage keeping them out of the action longer

rollers actually do different damage depending on if the flick is vertical or horizontal

24:15 could we make it so big swig and carbon could actually one shot too

Really adore that you talked about Dynamo, the heavy roller, deserving high object-damage. -looks like a steamroller -deals less object damage than a paper cup roller -wth Nintendo is out of their minds A similiar change id like would be to heavily reduce knockback of dynamos roll, so that you can actually roll against bubble, crab or wall and dont get bumped away

A fantastic video, I like the changes you're suggesting! The only thing I'd change about these balance changes would be the VDS and Nova Salmon Run specific changes, since that's the mode I play more of. A damage buff to 45 on Nova and VDS would be absurdly strong combined with their Salmon Run ink efficiency, they'd be pseudo Grizzco Weapons! Instead I'd increase their damage to 38, which is still a big increase but more in line with weapons like Jet, Dousers and Pro. I personally would also buff the damage of Blasters in Salmon Run, apart from S-Blast, mainly because ever since S-Blast was added and especially since the fire rate buff, every other Blaster feels underpowered by comparison. First off VBlaster and Luna will deal 150 throughout the indirect radius rather than 140-100, matching other blasters not having falloff within thier indirect radii, and will go from 200->250 Damage for directs, allowing them to 2-shot weaker bosses. Range will go from 250->300 for Directs and 150->180 for indirects since its now the slowest firing Blaster in Salmon Run and S-Blast dealing more damage while firing faster than it is kinda stupid. Rapid will go from 140->180 on Directs, 60->85 on Indirects, this buff is primarily for Steelheads, since not being able to one-cycle them with Rapid is so infuriating. Rapid Pro goes from 150->200 on directs, 75->100 on indirects, mainly to keep up with the VRapid changes. Finally Clash will go from 85->100 on Directs, 50->60 for indirects, this means a Clash can now 1-Shot Stinger Pots and makes it's DPS against bosses a lot more managable. Combined with your other changes it'd make blasters in Salmon Run and Salmon Run as a whole a hell of a lot more fun, without completely breaking the difficulty.

Some of these changes would be really cool! I love the idea for hydra and I completely agree that respawn punisher needs a rework! There are some things that I don't agree with however: Custom Range Blaster I don't believe needs a pts/special nerf given its lack of fast paint output and unless you are really really good than it's hard not to die before charging your special with it. I also disagree with giving dynamo 220 damage given that parrying is already hard to do due to how the networking code interacts with it and it would already leave you with 20 hp. In fact, a change I would make would be reduce the damage of most special weapons below the 200 mark so parry isn't useless. The exceptions being reef slider and the direct hit from a ink-vac. I don't think parry should be as useless as it is, especially with the networking fighting with you on whether you actually did or did not parry. I also think wave breaker should not have a hp buff but rather a reduction in object multipliers. For most weapons its time to destroy is fine, it's just the outliers that need fixing such as wellstring or splatanas. The actual change to the waves is a cool idea though. Also what Ultra Stamp really needs is to firstly revert the buffs it got considering how many times it kills without even touching the victim and being way to unavoidable in way to many scenarios, then they need to make the game consider it a "projectile" and not an "object" so it believes the attacker rather than the defender on interactions leading to more consistent blocking. I also would not buff the damage of recycle considering 90 is already enough to combo with damage from any source and it wouldn't really fix the issues it has. One simple change I would also give the game is up the tickrate from 16 tps to 24 or even 30 tps, which would help fix a lot of lag discrepancies. It makes no sense that a Minecraft server (at 20 tps) sends and receives updates to/from a client faster than Splatoon. It would also assist Brellas because the time it takes for the shield to open on the attackers (attacking the Brella) would be reduced due to more frequent network updates. Sorry if this is long winded: I really love game design and I especially love Splatoon, and I feel very strongly about this games balance. These aren't all my thoughts but it would take too long to write all of my thoughts and nobody would want to read them anyway :P edit: I also don't like the idea of SplatterColor Screen actually blinding you considering it's already disorienting enough, but the sound and colors should definitely be fixed and maybe give some tool so it doesn't blind it's allies from seeing anything.

I like the toxic mist ideas but I also want to add a smoke screen idea to it. Enemies can’t see your team members in the mist.

I would give Undercover Brella the same 10% bigger ink tank that Splattershot Jr has.

cooler not nullifying RP is a war crime 😭😭

The problem with super chumps after the "buff" is that is has 3s where you cant recharge it after it explode

Notes on the salmon run buffs, the h3 70-80 doesnt change any interactions other than bosses over 500 hp which h3 was already great at. In salmon run shooters are generally more weak as they dont go by thresholds like other classes do or have lack of aoe. H3 major problem is that it cannot deal with lessers to save its soul and usually suffers because if it. You need to buff the dmg to 100 per shot so it instant kills any chum and can mow down cohocks that always gave it trouble. This will put it as a nice sidegrade to 96 gal which is the second best shooter in sr. Though hilarious of a buff 600 dmg goo is, it should more of 500 since the goo has a different gameplan to other chargers, tapshots. Each tap shot does 80 dmg which you can kill faster with a full charge to tap shot combo. The main fix is to make the first ring for 300 dmg and the full charge do 500. Eliter needs to have its nice on being the boss killer while goober can be the shooter charger hybrid. The dmg buffs to the rollers are nice but they are all still missing why rollers suck in sr, the rolls are super weak and all your aoe goes down the drain when a big body comes along. Make all roll dmg match flick dmg and for dynamo its dmg is going from 300 to 400 to match its roll. Groller is remaing untouched since its legitimately the only example of a roller being good in salmonrun. You touched inkbrush but not octo? Octobrush is almost as bad since its falloff was reverted from s2 making 60 dmg nonexistent outside of contact with the brush itself. Bump it up to 80 dmg since the the weapon does not match the hazard level and make the falloff worth something. There are other weapons that are severely underpowered in sr that i have yet to mention but heres a good idea, dread wringer exists in salmon, that normal weapon has the power of a grizzco weapon for normal play. It carries games by just existing and doing everything. You can be allowed to overtune some weapons with dedicated flaws.

screen is maybe the worst special they have ever designed, not in the gamplay way but in the way it interacts with players who have disorders like epilepsy or colorblindness (just like me), i think that only putting big splats of ink on your screen is enough and it will definitely remove the part of the special who were problematic

You missed a very important detail on the carbonator in which its slash does not line up with thre reticule and infact is slightly below it. In pvp its a hassle from terrain but its horrible in sr since you can line up a shot on a steelhead and just miss because your projectile was below what you were aiming for. Making it match would be so much better

vac's whole point is the succ ._. it should just run around faster. which it basically got with the foot paint buff

Balance changes I want (excluding some mentioned in the video): Ultra Stamp is fully protected from frontal attacks, the radius of it's damage is slightly lower to compensate. Wave Breaker now produces 5 waves (there's no reason why it only makes 3 waves unlike something like Triple Inkstrike which has triple in the name), the waves are slightly faster and come out more rapidly but also only 30.00 damage, the waves can also go up and down elevation further. Trizooka has more start-up lag and a slightly bigger delay between shots, the shots also travel slightly slower. Reefslider destroys bombs with its blast, it also travels a bit further but has a longer start-up and the Drop Roller ability now works with it, the paint and damage radius is slightly reduced to compensate. Angle Shooter's trail now deals 25.00 damage and the direct hit marks opponents for 10 seconds, it also paints your feet when thrown like Torpedo Toxic Mist is slightly larger and deals gradual damage the same as standing in enemy ink does, only 1 mist (per player) can be out at a time if a second toxic mist is thrown the first one dissipates immediately. Sprinker paints its area slightly faster with more droplets and no longer degrades to the lowest level, it breaks from any damage to compensate. Splattershot has slightly worse ink efficiency from 0.92% per shot to 1.2% Splash-o-matic has slightly reduced painting radius on its shots and droplets, this makes its strafe painting worse. .52 Gal has slightly worse ink efficiency going from 1.3% to 1.8%, the ink recovery delay after firing is up from 20 frames to 23 frames. Clash Blaster paints better both with the blast and the droplets as the shot travels, the radius of the blast damage is slightly smaller. Heavy Edit Splatling now takes 70 frames to charge the first circle and 130 frames in total to reach full charge. Painbrush when first swinging now only takes 14 frames to start down from 23. Tri-Stringer shots produce more droplets to increase paint. Wellstring V takes slightly longer to charge the second ring and has more ink recovery delay. Snipewriter 5H now needs 220p to get its special (Tacticooler), the weapon's range is slightly shorter. Gootuber is now a lightweight weapon and it charges in 70 frames down from 75, its not fully charged shots have longer range. These are all the balance changes I can think of, in reality Splatoon 3 isn't *that* unbalanced it's just got a few obvious outliers that haven't been adjusted yet.

I have buffs for goo and recycled! For goo: - make the tapshot velocity actually good - ink consumption would be alot less and you can recover a small ammount of ink while hiding in ink (like half of the full charge) - the glow effect should be harder to see for opponents, not by much though For recycled: - opening and launching the shield wont use any ink at all - you can jump better while opening the brella (same with undercover) like, you opened the shield first without jumping

One thing you forgot to mention is that bamboo doesn’t paint on certian slopes. That should be fixed. It’s a big issue with the weapon and its paint.

GAH HOW COULD I HAVE MISSES THIS 😭😭

Are you spanish by any chance? I cant pinpoint which accent is... Also these changes are really good ! Really hope on the next patch update we get some of these

Cool Goo Tuber Buffs? I am happy :] (Being completely serious these are some things i'd want to see done. None of the less great video!

I hoped for wiper to get a 65 dmg charge slash so it can be more of a threat to the other splatanas at a distance

The dynamo horizontal oneshot range buff is definitely too much. Tone it back a bit tbh. Everything else for it is fine

You know what, I think toxic mist sould halve the object damage of enemies when they are inside it. Here is why I think this would be a good change: 1. Toxic mist will be picked alond with weapons that have wall (squeezer, pencil and 52 being good and having wall) so it is now a bit more of a stratigic suport tool. 2. This buffs brellas more, tbh I think they need it + recycle MKII is a way better kit now. 3. The teams running toxic mist in raimaker are no longer outclassed by bombs, making it a bit more even with bombs providing area denial while mist protects the rainmaker shield. This way weapons like Inkline tri-stringer, squelcher would have a bit more of a suportive backline role providing a bit of a difrent playstyle.

I had a different idea for screen where it still have the grayscale as you said but instead of those ink splats on your screen I had an idea where you can't see the time and whoever is splatted as well as the map would be disabled does it sound overpowered maybe but I feel like this will make it to really want you to move away from it.

Naaaah. Trizooka only has 3 shots. That's balanced enough. Not that I'm a Carbon roller deco Player and thus trizooka abuser myself. These are obviously my honest opinions on it.

would love the Squiffer changes, it's such a cool weapon. I'd lowkey even want a scoped variant so that I can zip and quick scope people lmfao

also less pfs for flux and cds isnt going to happen, cause turf meta
