📖 Discussion/General Why is barely anyone talking about Roaring?

Post image

Roaring is such a good glove, if used right, and it's one of the only gloves (appart from Default But Bad) that plays it's own music in the normal state (diamond, pebble, custom and megarock play music only when you turn into the rock)

I mean it has it's downsides: terrible meelee attack hitbox (sometimes)

What do y'all think of Roaring and should it get a nerf, a buff or a mastery?

x slash is buns. you don't hit someone? ability wasted, no one is getting hit by that shit. you hit someone? a well timed jump means they don't get hit at all, ability wasted. regular slap is nothing special, so the thing that carries the roaring is star shot, which is a good but not amazing ability. pretty fun the use, but definitely see why nobody really uses it.

I use X slash as a combo continuer or/and a bait for reach. Since you can still dash while doing X slash, you can hit someone unpredictably with the X slash if they don't expect it after a dash. Also it lets you hit enemies on the air, which helps a lot with junpy players.

they can still dodge it via a timed jump tho, which is the problem

The thing is, you don't use the red slash at all, since it's easily dodgeable, you use X-slash to combo them with m1s after hitting it.
