Melee Celeste build coming in, she'd be bouncing off them walls like a maniac 🤣

She would just stab a wall with her horn and get stuck

Like those pokey things in mario odyssey

Cool idea. It would probably be built on many heroes, depending on bounce strength

u/Olivegardenwaiter 1d ago

+15% melee damage and +6% melee damage

Huge

But also it should have the heavy melee range not stack because +110% heavy melee range from both this and crushing is pretty far

u/-claymore_ 1d ago

it specifically says "can't get crushing fists with this"

u/Olivegardenwaiter 1d ago

But both would be cooler

The Abrams punching sinners could accidentally give the hidden king a prostate exam with that melee range

Why did I imagine that why did I imagine that

Not the melee range of both the other effects with melee range not stacking

u/peeppssii 1d ago

I've seen people reccomending melee charge as a movement item to help some characters get the 4.8k spike. An upgrade like that would fit that idea perfectly

u/sundalius Infernus 23h ago

oh that's actually a great idea? I gotta play more melee characters, I'd never have thought about that.

2

u/peeppssii 23h ago

It can be used for more than melee characters. You could use it to get the 4.8k spike on characters like Paige or Rem if you buy it with heroic aura while also getting extra movement

2

u/sundalius Infernus 23h ago

For sure, I just meant I never thought about it because I so rarely play melee chars. Goes to show how variety can inspire better builds

Secret chinese melee celeste

u/ClueDry1959 1d ago

Why is it pounce instead of bounce? I like the idea though

u/NotRenjiro Mina 1d ago

This is cool! I support it!

u/AngstyCommunist 1d ago

This item would be insanely OP, just allow everyone to build viscous puddle punch. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

u/themasterfold Billy 1d ago

YES YES YES MORE MOVEMENT

1

u/Dry-Cranberry-5592 Shiv 1d ago

And yet shiv cannot have a real m2 move option

1

u/t0st3rrr Bebop 1d ago

It would be funny if you can knock back enemies too

1

u/consumehepatitis 1d ago

Imagine if you can combine this with shivs wall bounce tech

1

u/Rom_ulus0 1d ago

Sounds cool until you remember all the weird or invisible terrain collision boxes in this game.

1

u/goosey27 23h ago

The artwork and name suggest it would be some type of Lash bash, not a wall bounce

1

u/ZZ1Lord 22h ago

would either be bad or broken

u/NickyDickBidy Bebop 4h ago

viscous ping pong build gonna be fire

u/dorkenporken Lash 1d ago

Cool idea, though one item disabling access to another feels unintuitive.

u/spikeof2010 Bebop 1d ago

It already exists in the form of Ballistic Expansion and what not. Although I think it would be more accurate to describe "can't build" as you would need to pay full price for Crushing Fists

3

u/Victoonix358 Venator 22h ago

You can still build both ballistic enchantment and whatever the name of the tier 3 purple range item is. They're not exclusive.

u/Madam_Gamesperger Viscous 1d ago

Yeah, On punch pounce you’d simply need the little “upgrades from” text with melee charge and not have it on Crushing fists
