What if Blue Pikmin can spit water to do range Damage you don’t have to throw the pikmin but it’ll have a medium small range Or maybe going with the water bubble idea it will do that but it slowly drains the water bubble each shot and it can attack the flying/high enemies but does less damage then yellows And maybe with the water bubble it can also save the other pikmin and them selves if they get burned at the cost of half or a quarter of the bubble per each burning pikmin?

Maybe could be worth it when carrying treasure from a particularly big body of water, which on one hand only seem to get rarer with each installment, and on the other hand it would be weird because if they take less time carrying an object from a place because of their speed in that certain place, why is the place so big anyways? Otherwise, that extra speed would be kinda useless since pikmin are always capped to the leader's speed anyways. This in particular would depend on wether or not 4 will even have a speed update for leaders, if it will be optional or mandatory and exactly *when* in the game should you get the update to see the difference. Case in point being 2, because only after getting the Rush Boots you see the difference of speed between whites and all other types aside from carrying objects. A bit of a lenghty comment, I know.
@crankletsplay1 Жыл бұрын
@@LudiusQuassas But carrying objects with higher speed is the benefit, not the faster Pikmin in your party. The games (at least for many in the community) are about perfecting your efficiency. Faster Pikmin in specific environments would be a nice concept for that. Especially with Ice Pikmin on their way, which seemingly ignore water obstacles. With faster Blues you would have the option to either take a mix of Pikmin with you or use a single color, which has a higher movement speed in the environment

Or maybe add a weather mechanic where it can rain or snow, or lightning, or hail, or just cloudy, or windy or just be really sunny or normal. Also each weather effect (except normal) has buffs/debuffs for certain pikmin types and the weather would also affect the maps and cause certain enemies to spawn. Like rain can cause the map to flood and maybe cause landslides which gets rid of progress on certain tunnels/dirt walls and rain will improve the speed/attack of blue while rain would worsen the speed/attack of red pikmin and make pikmin other than blue pikmin unable to grab onto enemies. Sunny weather would cause fiery enemies to spawn and improve reds but worsen blue/ice along with drying out water areas a bit. Snow would improve ice pikmin and worsen reds along with freezing over water areas so they can’t be accessed without a rock pikmin to break the ice and can freeze pikmin if they stay still for too long. Hail would cause pikmin other than rock pikmin to get knocked down and would reform crystal obstacles. Wind would buff winged pikmin but can deflower your other pikmin randomly. Lightning would recharge electrical obstacles and cause lightning to strike randomly (but would also have an indicator as to when and where) if a pikmin gets hit by the lightning it would shock them and lightning would of course improve yellows.

You know what would be a good perk for blues? Not just keeping their "lifeguard" trait from the first two games _I literally only learned about a couple months ago_ but also letting them help adjacent Pikmin suffering from other not-immediately-fatal conditions, drying off their leaves if they've been hit by a water attack, washing off poison, or extinguishing fires. Medic Pikmin. This also fits with their other little known property of being the priority target to enemies who eat Pikmin (so like candy, the blues are the tastiest) - enemies acting on the "shoot the medic first" tactics.

Want it stronger? Increase damage of the projectiles or make them fire more per enemy.

The water droplet idea is pure genius! I was just think of focusing on their water focus, such as giving them a 2x combat bonus in water and against aquatic enemies (non-stacking) and giving them a 1.75x speed boost when near water, if it’s too strong give it a regular combat nerf. This way they’re overall stronger and are but more useful outside of water as long as it’s close, plus making it where a veteran player would use it, even though a newbie might overlook these boosts. Overall great video and presentation!
@lkjkhfggd Жыл бұрын
The water droplet idea is nice, but even without such a buff I feel blue Pikmin were just fine in Pikmin 1-3 (and honestly this opinion surprised me: before now I'd only ever heard people argue that yellow Pikmin were the worst). You still need them for a lot of the games, so it's fine even if they only have usefulness in those situations. Seeing the ice Pikmin and the dog in Pikmin 4 definitely has me worried, though there's things they could add to keep blue Pikmin relevant. For instance, how about some underwater chasms to explore where only blue can traverse? Or maybe an area where it's raining and other pikmin types need an umbrella (big leaf/flower petals) and there's only so many in the environment? Or how about water based enemies that spew water, thus being very difficult for other pikmin types to handle?
@blueyoshi4211 Жыл бұрын
The opinion surprised me as well, but to be honest the core of the argument is right I think. You take blues along when you think there will be water, that’s it, they should have something extra outside of that. I don’t think it has to be strictly about combat though, even something small like 1.5x construction and destruction speed might be enough.
@Aaaa-g6u8e Жыл бұрын
The water droplet could also be used to stop fire hazards. Like in a clever situation when you need more than just Reds, Blue pikmins can use the water droplets to dosed out a flame wall and a burning bridge. Or an area with lava to create safe platforms to crossover. There are many ideas for puzzles to work with this mechanic other than combat, like gathering a certain amount of water to elevate platforms.

What if whenever they were thrown/charged out of the surface of the water, Blues jumped way up high like a salmon? They could reach high areas like Yellows, and they could deal additional damage when then jump down. They should also get their lifeguard ability back. Let’s also have Purples and Grays sink into the water instead of just getting called back with the whistle. The Blues would have to be deployed to retrieve them, like how Pinks are used to rescue Pikmin stuck in bubbles. Also, let’s have Pinks be unable to get out of the water as well; just without sinking.

@@lkjkhfggd There's a cave in Pikmin 2 that goes down this design route, and it has the same types of problems (unless you include Bulbmin) that a bathroom/dungeon area that's flooded and submerged would bring up. Speaking of submerged.. That's the name of the cave: *_Submerged Castle._* Surprisingly, this cave wasn't even mentioned in the video, but it's basically the devs giving up and saying- "Alright, we need a new strategy: What can we do to make it look like Blues are a good pikmin type?" "..Make it so they only HAVE blues!" You won't notice trash if its dressed up like treasure, same way the Submerged Castle tricks the player even MORE into thinking Blues are good. In this cave, water is everywhere, and the only other types you get are Bulbmin and White Pikmin, with the last floor giving you a couple more over-powered plant fellows for the giant weight you have to lift back to base down the line. And to top it all with a cupid's grenade.. The Waterwraith, a specialized boss that appears ONLY in the Subemerged Castle, will track you and your Pikmin down if you start slackin'. So not only are you stuck with Blues until further notice, you also have to hurry through tricky waters and deadly enemies that aren't even tailored to having a Blue only squad lightning fast before you get bulldozed by a bubbling brute in a basin-bound biome. And actually, now that I think about it, they ended up making the player not want Blues in the later levels since even though you need them in a dungeon flooded to the brim, there's still hidden treasures to dig and fiery bulblaxes to extinguish..

I've always had the idea that Blue Pikmin could be harder to shake off than other Pikmin - only having a 50% chance to be shaken off instead of guaranteed like other Pikmin - since they could use their mouths to bite onto the enemy for better grip. Bit less water-orientated than your idea, but it still fits one of the Blue Pikmin's unique attributes. Staying attached to an enemy when everyone else has fallen off can provide great backup damage, giving blue Pikmin great synergy with the other main attackers.

If Yellows had an electric hit that created just a frame of Hitlag, that would significantly slow down opponents that you fight and make them easier to hit, without being as extreme as the purple stun in 2.

Or perhaps just always had a 30-50% chance to avoid being shaken off or picked up by grabs or bites? This also completes the trifecta of the OG 3 colors in a nice way Red=Offensive Yellow=Mobility Blue=Defensive As well makes blue's an interesting option to consider bum rushing enemies with over reds, since a lot of them will potentially stay attached longer as you toss your reds in for follow up burst damage. It keeps them much more safe among a lot of enemies or AOE attacks as well.

I really like your buff idea, it is seriously a good idea having an ability that is useful in multiple situations, it is not like most buff or change suggestions where I am very unsure or it is very weird, I actually find your idea of the water bubble to be good! Also purples in mission mode are just worse blues because not only are they situation based, but outside of maximizing your score, you have the option to not use them if you have enough Pikmin, since they are worse in combat thanks to their slam leaving them open while doing nothing.

As a kid, the blue pikmin fascinated me, they could go underwater which to me was the coolest thing ever. In pikmin I always mained louie in the battle mode because of the blue pikmin. Sure they may be weak, but they still serve a big purpose for the player's experience for the underwater world

Personally I've always considered reds the worst type in 2. Yeah they have the 1.5x damage multiplier, but because purples outclass them in basiclly every way, you never really need them for anything except the occasional fiery bulblax (and even then, those *can* still be killed by purples, it's just a lot more dangerous). About 20 purples is usually enough on its own to handle any enemies you might otherwise want to use reds on.

It’s definitely a toss up between blues and reds, it’s hard to judge wether or not a type that’s required for progression but has nothing else going for it is better or worse than a type that is pretty much entirely optional but is still generally useful with its damage bonus and more importantly, it’s disposability and ease of access when compared to purples

Grabbing land based enemies and dragging them into water for drowning, and of course saving your own pikmin from this fate is a must. In a game where your troops traits must compete, balance is a must. Hope this can be the case for pikmin 4

the water droplet idea sounds really cool and makes a lot of sense! but having a flat attack bonus for attacking with a droplet feels a little counter-intuitive (it's just water, why would it hurt more?) so maybe it could only work as a bonus against enemies weak to water (e.g. fire-based enemies as well as lightweight insect-like ones maybe) while also weighing down flying enemies more easily

In this video, I enjoy the droplet idea, as it kind of completes the versatility of the original 3. Reds are powerful combatants, Yellows are technical high flyers that are able to reach higher enemies easier, and Blues would be a defensive type that you can buff to give them better survivability in combat scenarios. This is a good video.

I'm very glad you acknowledged the usefulness of yellows in 1. I feel as if people often look at the utility of the Pikmin types solely by their use cases, and ignore the times where they're optional but still more advantageous to be put to work. While bombs are more often used for walls, primarily stone walls, which would fit the template of a Pikmin type only being summoned to complete one specific task, their ability to destroy all kinds of walls quickly allows you to be more efficient with the number of Pikmin you delegate tasks to, which warrants some praise for the yellows I feel, something that the blues sorely do not have a say for.

If a swooping snitchbug tries to grab them. They will slip and have a 50% chance to fall onto the ground and a 50% chance to keep flying. Also if they are grabbed in the mouth of a creature such as a shearwig. They have a 40% chance to slip out of their mouth and a 60% to be eaten

@42ndLife Жыл бұрын
This is my take on the water droplet idea: 1) Blue Pikmin (BP) with water droplets grain 20 seconds of invulnerability against fire damage when hit by fire. This ability uses up the droplet. 2) BP with water droplets can spit a small stream of water that can extinguish burning Pikmin, wash poisoin off of poised Pikmin and wake up Pikmin stuned by electricity*. This ability would play off BP's ability to save drowning Pikmin by leaning into their role as the lifeguards of your team. Spitting water would use up the water droplet, but each BP would get 2 small spits before the droplet is completely gone. 3) When BP with droplets are ordered to attack something on fire, they will instead spit an extended stream of water that would extinguish the burning object. If the target can reignite, it is unable to for 20 seconds. The extended spit uses up the droplet. 4) Water droplets are lost when BP with water droplets enter the onion. We could also make it so BP can gain water droplets when they are hit by a splash attack or run under a drizzling faucet. *I would buff electricity hazards by causing shocked Pikmin to become stuned & fully paralyzed for 10 seconds. This would also damage the Pikmin so that multiple shockings would kill them. Perhaps 2 or 3 shokings to kill.

I'd personally argue Yellow Pikmin probably need a buff too, they're not really as useful outside of progression as you say. In Pikmin 2 most caves that have electricity can be beaten without yellow Pikmin without much of a problem, like, yeah, it instakills Pikmin, but you can pretty easily throw a lot of Pikmin into anything electrical while it's not emitting electricity and that's it, problem solved. Sure this can also be done with other elements, but is much harder, and, in fact, can't be done at some times, tell me, how do I get that treasure in the water without blue Pikmin? Or how do I fight that Fiery Bulblax without Red Pikmin? Well, the answer to these questions would be Bulbmin, but they're not in all caves, so the questions are still valid. To be fair I'm not really that sure about Pikmin 1, as they're the only ones able to grab Bomb Rocks there, but idk they're not much more useful than Blue Pikmin in that game either, I never used them outside of progression. But anyway let's talk about Pikmin 3, they're good for breaking electricity walls and, and uhmm, and, maybe some puzzle I can't remember? Oh yeah, they can do that- Ah true, other Pikmin can pick up rock bombs too, well, oh yeah, as you said, they're good at fighting in the air, but still, even if worse, you can use Winged and I personally see no reason not to, I doubt there's that big of a difference anyway, tho I haven't played Pikmin 3 in a while. So overall they're only really useful for progression and for fighting in the air which Winged can too do.

The droplet idea is really solid, I think that in addition to making them faster/invulnerable in water (to the same attacks they'd "slip" out of 1x on land with the bubble) is a good idea. Perhaps the droplet also does crit damage to fire enemies like the fiery bulbax.

I disagree with this video a lot. Sure, blues are only as good as their use cases. But their use cases in 1 and 2 were nigh constant after their introduction. Large swaths of the Distant Spring were only traversable with blues, every cave in 2 that had treasure in water needed to have them, and the Submerged Castle hard locked you to use only them. You’d always want some in your party in case you needed to go through water. As for Pikmin 3, yes, their use cases were significantly cut back and they were a lot worse as a result. But reds are way worse and have been essentially invalidated since P2. Their strength in 1 was invaluable, but there is no reason to use reds as a main combat type over purples or rocks, and the use cases for fire are WAY more limited than water. Also yellows being able to be thrown high has never really been that important except against Beady Long Legs. I understand the point of the video and sort of agree, but honestly, there is a pretty easy way design-wise to make blues more relevant again: make more completely submerged areas. Reds need lots more focus than them. That being said, the water bubble ability is very cool.

No joke, the meme mod for Pikmin 2 called Bikmin 269 makes all the types feel relevant and useful by remixing and tweaking abilities between the types. The water dwelling pikmin in that mod are the ones with the attack multiplier, not the "red" pikmin. Also, they have a unique pro-and-con ability to neither be debuffed to a slow speed nor buffed to a faster speed. Because of this, they can clear out debuff nectare so other pikmin can traverse safely. The mod can be quite cruel though. You have to be okay with losing bikmin.

My thought process was immediately a worm grass approach. They grab on to enemies and drag them into water to take advantage of their gills. Rendering an enemy incapable of attacking while simultaneously sapping its health away. The duration of the grapple being directly proportional to the amount of blues utilized to achieve it (as well as how quickly the enemy can be dragged in in the first place, the blues would be in a rather precarious position until the enemy was actually submerged). This both leeches away an enemies health with minimal risk to your pikmin while at the same time removes a factor from a fight for a period of time allowing the player to focus on another matter. This keeps their strong connection to map assets compared to other pikmin while allowing them to leverage it into a potentially powerful advantage.

I want to add onto the water bubble mechanic. Say they add a "Poison gas" section. This gas would slowly kill off every pikmin in the area (or instantly) and logically only enemies that have immunity to the gas would exist in said area. (Or none at all, really depends on how you'd take the idea) Since you have a helmet/space suit and probably oxygen you'd be immune anyways. But blue pikmin could say utilize the water bubble mechanic on their head to be able to survive in poison areas as if it was some form of space helmet. This would add puzzle utility to the blue pikmin and gives them an area which other pikmin can't reach.
