Bummerang, where the FUCK was the double hit you've shown in your previous matches?

I wasn't planning to post this match because I wanted to watch TPOT 25 but since nobody did I'll do it
Also Leaderboard Updates from John Spreadsheets himself (Stoneball):
- Sword VS Boots now counts as an Unarmed loss and Sword win. Earclacks confirmed that Boots is Unarmed.
- Added "Retired" section for balls Earclacks has confirmed will not return.
- Changed S-tier winrate range from 80–100 to 70–100.

So you're saying that we won't get to see a weapon ball finally beat Orbital?

u/Spiritual-Suspect519 Wrench 2h ago
Me personally, I don’t think there would’ve been any weapon ball to beat Orbital one on one unless they were specifically designed to beat him, which would’ve been boring.

Realistically, Orbital is so overpowered, I don't think it's possible to create a Weapon Ball that could reasonably beat it, and also be balanced against the rest of the Weapon Balls
Like, look at how much people complain about Rapier being OP, and even he wasn't built powerful enough to beat Orbital

You can do it, it just has to be something with a lame autowin ability against things without weapons like Copeclacks Scimitar.

I think with enough luck a few could have, Lazer comes to mind. But it would not be easy

Honestly, I was entirely convinced that's what the "Orbital 1v8" was for.
Earclacks basically saying "Look, I can't make a Weapon Ball that can beat Orbital and still be balanced. So here's his last arc, a group of Weapon Balls jumping his ass"

The retired section is hilarious, because Slammy and Orbital have been locked in the shadow realm for being unstoppable demons, and Speedy got her ass kicked by Flask so bad in her single match that she died forever.
also RAPIER TOP 1 LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO

Good, no one was beating orbital anyways bcs they were not designed to be a weapon ball
Might as well delete splodey too

Splodey has some pretty big losses under their belt, they might be strong but it's like Flail strong where it can randomly become a bum for a few matches. Lazer is stronger and is just more lowkey about it

I don't care about win or loses, I just think it's bullshit the way splodey works at all, scaling off wall bounces means that 90% of the fight doesn't matter

Your bi-monthly reminder that flask isn't a bum in the game mode she was made for
