A pretty big issue with stamp is that most other offensive specials gives the user something to help you survive. Zooka has great range. Jet lets the player fly. Kraken makes you invincible. Booyah gives you armor. And then there's ultra stamp that gives you a finicky protection that rarely works. Like even if you manage to kill someone, you're still very likely to take damage in the process. Which is not good when you need to get so close to people in order to attack them to begin with.
The issue with stamp is how it was pulled directly from sploon 2. Almost every other special had major buffs or was reworked to fit splat 3, but stamp wasn’t. Splat 2 specials in general fell into the category of EXTREMELY high risk with only decent rewards, which only worked when every special was like that. Splat 3 specials are all generally safe to use, which makes stamp just feel even worse. I get that the other splat 2 specials were generally faithful, but stamp REALLY needed a rework instead of minor tweaks.
I wouldn't say it was just pulled straight from S2. At launch it straight up did not work. It was such a buggy mess. Even now, it bairly, if at all, reaches the consistency it had in S2, and it didn't have overtuned shockwaves in S2, either.
I would argue the shockwave buff turned Stamp into one of the worst designed specials in the game. They didn't address its core issues and instead gave it something that just makes it more annoying for weapons that already had a hard time against it without making it any better at surviving against the weapons it struggles with. They basically turned it into the Clash Blaster of special weapons by making it obnoxious without actually making it good.
Despite the flaws the shockwave buff gave it, I still think it's a rather well-designed special with how many different options you still have. It's not as braindead as Clash, where your only possible move is to rush forward with an obnoxious blast radius, since it also has the jump swing and throw, as well as being able to stall while in rush mode. I will say that the radius buff did make its design take a hit, though.
@@lazdahuman Overall it's not quite as bad as Clash but it was a convenient comparison to make because Stamp does at times give a similar vibe. Stamp does have some merits but it continues to be an absurdly weak special that is unsatisfying to both use and play against.
Even with reeflux it's actually really easy to kill a stamp user thru the stamp. Understanding the tempo of the stamp smashes and getting in the rhythm can consistently hit between the hitboxes
I'm really lucky with my stamp uses, i usually manage to get kills with it or atleast distract people. I never would've thought people considered it bad.
I actually like killer wail, there's a surprising amount of depth and technique to using it and going in to fight with it beyond just pressing the right stick
Stamp isn't so "always bad" as it is unreliable. The user sometimes just gets shredded right through it, but sometimes, when fighting the right enemy comps, it can get huge wipes that create massive push opportunities. Its risk is high because you're counting on enemies not running too many shooters, splatlings, dualies, or chargers, but its reward is so insane that it could be amongst high-tier specials if it could have more protection.
good job nintedo you put a perfectly designed and balanced special onto a wepon THAT HAS NO RANGE BAD PAINT AND NO WAY TO GEF TO YOU YET SOMEHOW PEPOLE STILL COMPLAIN ABOUT IT ITS A FUKING SPLOOSH IT LITERALLY HAS NO RANGE JUST SHOOT IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION ehm and then nerf it into the ground because of course you did
Using L-3 D in X is horrible because you get matched against a short range shooter typically and they just shoot your stamp, it sucks Ninkbrush fairs a bit better but stamp is still stamp Edit: if only the lag fix worked for me
as someone who loved stamp since s2, it was really disappointing watching it go from a high tier special to a special often put in with slider (sometimes lower)
it rly sucks that reefslider and stamp are really cool and it feels sick to use them and they're the worst specials in the game that really suck (tho i am an octobrush player and seeing stamp means im dead! awesome) Im glad zipcaster and jet exist tho cuz they do fill the role of cool and still powerful otherwiese all the top specials will be damn boring (cough cough tacticooler/zooka)
They always ask why is ultra stamp, but they never ask how is ultra stamp.
Justice for ultra stamp

"But you can eat bombs 💀"
Ultrastamp is really cool, especially on the splatana wiper, keep the videos coming, they are really good!

@@JakoBpyroTech yeah? What’s the problem there?
“Extremely high risk with decent rewards”
Me when I Sting Ray the Tower and Rainmaker:
unfortunately, its still not good. this is coming from a guy who got a wipeout with it yesterday...
Babe wake up peak posted again
nowerz is back with anotha banga
3:33 v wellstring occasionally gets used in rainmaker, but it’s more custom well

WAIT A DAMN MINUTE IS THAT YKW2 MUSIC AS THE OUTRO?!
Stamp gets an A for effort!! It gets a C+ for execution maybe B+ on a good day but we don’t need to mention that 😀
We need squid armour back, it is a protective shield for the WHOLE team.
You can easily kill ultra stamps from afar with snipers (especially the Z+F)

I would agree with you if it wasn’t for the fact Inkbrush and 52 can just shit it out
He's back
W Stamp in Side Order XD
🥰
I like that silver badge too. I have one also.
Nower I wanna give you my kidney
you literally used to be able to trade a stamp head on with a dynamo vertical 🤦♀️
I love your videos!!!!!!!! 💜💖💜
Although i do miss stamp being a lot better in splat 2 😔 idk if thats just me though????
Even in the most recent version of this game (9.0) Ultra Stamp just feels inferior to its S2 version
Pro chara put stamp in b tier.. B TEIR

SORRY BUT I LOVE ULTRA STAMP
The design on paper its just tent + kraken I hope we get the true form of ultrastamp in next updates
lies ultra stamp is the best special
good job nintedo you put a perfectly designed and balanced special onto a wepon THAT HAS NO RANGE BAD PAINT AND NO WAY TO GEF TO YOU YET SOMEHOW PEPOLE STILL COMPLAIN ABOUT IT ITS A FUKING SPLOOSH IT LITERALLY HAS NO RANGE JUST SHOOT IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION ehm

I was here

Ninkbrush fairs a bit better but stamp is still stamp
Edit: if only the lag fix worked for me
Why is it that Stamp felt stronger in Splatoon 2 than in Splatoon 3?
Probably because of ink armor.
@EverythingInMyBrain that... actually makes a lot of sense! Huh. Why didn't I think of that? Well then, what should they do to fix the special then?
as someone who loved stamp since s2, it was really disappointing watching it go from a high tier special to a special often put in with slider (sometimes lower)
keep making videos
It’s still not good even after the netcode buff sadly :(
(It also just has an insanely huge hitbox that only works for everyone but me)
Screw how bad it is
I WANT BLOODSHED WITH SPECIALS!!!!!
it rly sucks that reefslider and stamp are really cool and it feels sick to use them
and they're the worst specials in the game that really suck
(tho i am an octobrush player and seeing stamp means im dead! awesome)
Im glad zipcaster and jet exist tho cuz they do fill the role of cool and still powerful otherwiese all the top specials will be damn boring (cough cough tacticooler/zooka)
Hehe silly joltik splatoon player
