I Tried Using the ULTRA STAMP - I Cried

[@loid5233]

The editing in this video is really awesome and funny! (please don't over use the SFX just in case. It gets stale fast imo) I personally only tried stamper once and didn't like it and never played it since (it desperately needs a buff). I also really like that you credit your music mid video. Alot of youtubers don't do it at all and it annoys me in case I'm interrested in the music and I can't find it anywhere. Keep up the great work.💜

Glad you enjoy the edits. I was scared in some portions it was too much, I found it balanced for myself after viewing.

[@Benjax_95]

Great video! Love this editing hahaha, even your music choice is great, keep it up! 😁 1:44 This was too relatable LMAO

a 10/10 video about the bonk hammer that we all love

[@ProfessorBear404]

Can't wait! I always struggle with the hammer

[@Seggtor]

Maybe you'll want to wait till they fix it before attempting to use it ^^ I miss old Ultra Stamp.

[@nikkihahaa]

the only thing im crying about is how funny this video was 🤪

[@Seggtor]

So funny it's even in your Username 😉😂 Glad you enjoyed it.

Stamp was my favorite special in 2 and it wasn’t even overpowered to begin with, so nerfing it as bad as they did (or that it just has a lot of bugs at the moment, like the hitbox doesn’t even exist sometimes??) was a bit much. The fact that missiles are still in the game and still is as annoying as ever, yet stamp is now just an upgraded bomb at this point is sad ;-;

[@Seggtor]

The only reason I can see for missiles still being in the game is that they started development pretty early on before missiles became meta and everyone started complaining about them. At least that's my theory to why they let this abomination back. I don't know why Hammer is the way it is now. The vertical swing seems non-existant sometimes. I hit someone in the video that honestly should never have hit, it's so jank lol

Mmmmmm delicious editingggg

[@Seggtor]

I went all out on this one 😂

[@GigaHands]

Given the weapons that have stamp in 3, it definitely feels like they perceive the special to be stronger than it currently is. I don't use any stamp weapons, but I hope it gets buffed anyway.

[@Seggtor]

I don't understand what you mean. As far as I know, there's not a single person who thinks Ultra Stamp is strong atm. (at least between all my peers and other content creators I follow).

[@GigaHands]

@@Seggtor Ah, sorry. Let me clarify. My impression of the balance philosophy of Splatoon is that Nintendo is aware that certain main, sub, and/or special weapons are stronger or weaker than average. Rather than balance each category against each other, Nintendo instead arranges the KITS so that they are balanced against each other. In other words, since you select kits rather than picking your main/sub/special individually, they intend for the thing you select to be balanced against the other options. However, when assigning the Ultra Stamp to a kit, it looks like Nintendo overestimated its value (assuming their balance philosophy is as I have described above). The weapons that have Stamp seem to be somewhat lackluster main weapons (Mini Splatling, Sploosh, Splatana Wiper), intended to be boosted by having a powerful special. Ultra Stamp, in its current state, is not what these weapons need to be viable.

[@Seggtor]

@@GigaHands Interesting point, but then I would like counter argue : which weapon would ultra stamp be good on ? If it's bad on everything, maybe the special itself is to blame. Most people I talk to and content creators I have watched feel the same way, the weapons that have Stamp essentially don't have a special. I can't think of a single weapon they could Stamp on, in it's current state, that would make the kit better. It only just makes it worse. That's just my opinion though. I believe wiper is actually pretty good, but not having a special is kinda brutal (for any weapon)

[@GigaHands]

@@Seggtor Yes, the special itself is to blame, and that's what I'm trying to get at. I'm not saying that each main weapon has a suitable special that's perfect for it or vice-versa, I'm saying I think that they're fixing imbalances in main weapons by pairing them with weak/non-synergistic subs and/or specials (or strong ones, depending on the weapon). When doing this with Ultra Stamp, they overestimated its value. In my assumption of Nintendo's balance philosophy, they perceive Ultra Stamp to be strong, when it is in fact weak. EDIT: " I can't think of a single weapon they could Stamp on, in it's current state, that would make the kit better." What I'm trying to say is, if I'm reading Nintendo right, the thing they should do is put it on a strong weapon to make it weaker. Would Splattershot be meta if it had Stamp? What about Machine?

[@ShakerGER]

Really lvoe teh subtiltes and lil meme bits but why the hell is the track list smack in the middle at like size 16?!

[@Seggtor]

Because there was other text at that moment. There wasn't much else going on in that ONE section you are referring to ^^

[@cornbonzo7027]

Ultra stamp wasn’t as much nerfed, so much as it was broken. It still does kind of suck even if it wasn’t broken, so hoping we get some turn speed improvements after they fix it
