A thing i didn't realize until i used it myself is that the hammer throw, unlike a sub weapon, has a bit of windup before actually yeeting
you can still throw it as the special is wearing off, as long as you let go of the sub button before the timers counted down! it'll finish the throw, windup and all
@@Celeste-ty5pbThis is very important information! Especially now that the duration is shorter, you can still have time to wind that up!
Another thing to note is that (iirc) you get a sharper turning radius by holding directly left or right on the control stick instead of diagonally forward during the "DK" mode
Some of my Stamp thoughts:
* At the start of each match, it's worth thinking about which weapons on the enemy team will have a hard time stopping you from attacking them with Stamp. These are pretty much any weapon with slow fire rates, and especially those that have trouble aiming low, like Blasters.
* Similarly, take note of any special the enemy has that Stamp is good into. Things like Crab, Vac and Big Bubbler. While you don't necessarily want to always use Stamp just to cancel other specials, doing so is one of the easiest ways to get high value.
* DK mode is excellent for popping the RM, but just going straight at it will possibly get you splatted by the RM shield. To solve this, while in DK mode, jump and hold back as you start hitting the shield. This will slow you down while keeping up the DPS.
* Jump swing is especially useful when sharking under a ledge. It hits a pretty good range over a ledge and hits quite quickly. So it's worth engaging your Roller / Blaster brain when you have special ready.
*DK mode can block Trizooka shots. I don't necessarily think that makes it good against Zooka, but its worth knowing.
Can confirm, the stamp did block a trizooka shot that won me a match. It was aimed at the RM carrier heading for the goal, and I blocked it from even coming out LMAO. I will also add a tip though:
- BE WARY OF THE RAINMAKER CARRIER. While they themselves are vulnerable, shots that hit the ground and sometimes the stamp will still explode and cannot be defused like bombs can by a stamp. DO NOT rush them unless you know they won't get off a shot in time.
- Similarly, be careful around ink vac. While the matchup is great if vac is in suck phase, shot phase can hit the rushing stamp and explode after, hitting you on the other side if you keep charging. Be wary of how much of the special they've used as you charge them down, and also that I think the shockwaves can fill the vac!
also big bullets on buckets and stuff get blocked way easier
Really? I had a CB match where Novo Inkbrush used Hammer and I Zooka'd, and won, twice.
As a vanilla sploosh main, I find this information extremely valuable for my personal success 👍
As someone who hates uber close shooters I would prefer you learn l3d.
But I am not your overbearing parents. You are free to play whatever you want.
@@n4n196I think they should play whatever they want.
@@n4n196 Bro if you're gonna hate on someone's weapon choice at least recommend a good weapon 💀
It's not a good thing to do regardless but
Wow L3 really?
@@theghostcreator776 they said they preferred it, not that it was better
@@oliviatilleman8055 ... Yes. That literally changed nothing about the comment
Remember that if you're using this to pop Rainmaker, don't throw it. Instead, do the DK and when the hammer touches the shield jump at the same time
Idk why, but this video reminds me of all the times when the teachers smartboard would give up on them. So they would write everything on the whiteboard....
Man that just made me feel a little old now
Well, he _was_ a teacher...
@ParasocialCatgirl Ngl, I still consider him a teacher, lol. Couldn't of ever readjust to motion controls without Gem (and my friends).
If it makes you feel any less old, it still happens these days, and I still experience it too, occasionally.
I would also like to add, don't just hold down the rush mode when you don't have a target. You're very predictable and easy to aim at. Instead, you can catch a lot of players off guard if you use rush mode for a bit, swim to a new area, and use rush again. Obviously you pretty much always want to throw the stamp when you have a sliver of special left. I've found i really only end up yeeting the stamp (not using either melee modes at all) only when I'm in a very oppressive situation like mincemeat with a charger on the opposing team. In cases like these, using the melee modes puts you in a very vulnerable position if you're playing in neutral or at disadvantage
Ive been a wiper main for around eight months. Its great to know I still have some grounds for improvement. Thanks a ton!
Anywho else feel like it's a crime that the Devs have yet to fully fix Ultra Stamp's frontal protection hitbox, even 4-5 years later?
But can Gem explain why I always get shot through Hammer, but can’t seem to ever shoot people through it, even aiming mostly Lower
Same here
It's a coin flip whether the protection hitbox will work or not (At least it feels that way at times). That's always been Ultra Stamp's biggest flaw.
You're not supposed to be able to shoot through the hammer so it's pretty luck reliant, you're better off hitting from the side or back of the player
@@theghostcreator776 your not supposed to be able to, yet people still can, and despite it being "somewhat fixed" in both games, it's still fully possible.
As the worst v-mini main in the west, I found this video extremely helpful!
i just picked up vmini a few days ago and got 4 quads and a match where i got 22 splats, 2 deaths and used hammer 5 times lol
might be biased as a vwiper main but i think hammer is the most fun special in the game :] all the different things you can do with it make it really expressive imo
what about moments where people just throw the hammer straight away, even in comp?
I usually just do that to reset the cooldown and paint the walls
Sometimes it’s nice to just have a fast, long-range lethal one-shot. It’s a bit of a gamble, and a holdover from earlier in S3 when the radius was Much Smaller so the DK mode wasn’t very effective. It’s still a habit for me to just Throw it at whatever backliner I can see within range, rather than use it as a hammer
If someone is standing on a snipe you can't reach with the melee modes, you're not getting better value if they're the target you're trying to remove, so why not give them as little time as possible to react? It's also suicidal to try to rush mode towards a splatling, and sometimes you can't get into position to avoid that. The idea stamp situation is generally to come in with both surprise and an angle that makes it difficult to shoot at you or cuts off escape, but sometimes you're trying to contest mid on Wahoo Zones or something like that and just don't have a good route in.
@@EclipseAtDuskIt's like a tree Trizooka shot added onto the base Special, essentially.
I have done that before. On that one stage that is based off a zen garden. It's extremely useful to aim and shoot it for a 1 hit K.O. if the ledge is guarded by a machine gun or sniper.
Adobe said no new video and Gem said "Just watch"
ive needed a video like this for so long…. thank you😢
It kind of goes without saying, but the jump-swing hits over ledges with a large hitbox, and there are certainly maps where this is pretty useful, like Museum (from the side of the enemy plat), Inkblot zones, against tower riders, etc. Sometimes you can just use a special like a really large Splatana melee one-shot in those situations.
I've also found that, should you be evaded to the side when trying to DK someone, it is often correct to go a small distance forward, start your throw windup, and flick your camera backwards to try to throw at them, as they will generally be focused on trying to shoot you in the back and unprepared to dodge the throw at close range.
Or you could use a jump swing to try and catch them out, which I've done plenty (less so after the splash damage hitbox buff, but still)
You can also jump swing while sharking under a ledge
If you have the time, it would be cool to see an edited version when adobe respwans. Or maybe change editors (I know thats a big deal, just a suggestion)
Should Tent get Stamp on its next kit, this info will be very useful.
Hey Gem, regarding Premiere: I've heard that the beta version works way better than the standard 2024 version right now. Hope this helps!
Mains L3 nozzle nose.....
Me: wait we can jump and use the stamper?! This is a game changer!!!!!
yes
Do you have the outro song credits?
as the ultra stamp queen (i’m the only one who says that), i approve of this
no girl you need to own it. you ARE the ultra stamp queen and that’s on that
Git Gud enough and people will call you that
Finally, a worthy opponent (fellow Stamp queen), our battle will be legendary!
There's a jump-swing?? I never even thought to try >_>
I can't even block shots while using the special, I always die when I use ultra stamp, the nerfed it to the ground.
Yay Luna blaster neo skill boosted
Interesting, i thought the jump swing actually got you dking faster.
It doesnt make it happen faster in total, but i believe the time in between the end of the swing and beginning of rush will be less. Even if not, jumping at the beginning of when you hold zr to start rushing is often safer than just standing still for that long
@rubberchickensfoot8912 it's only safer if the jumpswing will hit someone. Otherwise you're just delaying dk mode unnecessarily and giving the opponents more time to notice and react
I swear Gem, your videos get quieter every day 💀
I call the throw a Tomahawk.
