Anyone wanna explain yamcha death explosion?

[Kashra Fall]

So, they got rid of rocket launcher doing a knockback/stun unless 2 shots.

Rocket punch takes 2 shots.

Gallick gun takes two shots...

I can keep going if you like.

Why is there a 14 second ability that is a free knockback/stun/dragonball dropping annoyance that people can rely on and well, that most everyone has?

Doesn't seem right to me, it shouldn't knock back, not enough to cause the stun bar to fill. Losing dragonballs this way as a raider is kind of annoying. You can outplay people completely and be screwed by 1 basic ability. Best part is how fast it makes them plumet, I swear they sped it up from the launch version.

I mean, the only real reason Fake Death is more common now is due to the already low 25 second cooldown bein even lower after this one patch. It's otherwise always been able to do the same things it can now, yet still only up close & risk getting merc'd yerself. As opposed to Basho Fan bein able to smack the raider off of stm, during a finisher, & get dragon balls off him, for only 4 seconds extra cooldown (granted it can still miss as well). Plus there's also Angry Shout fulfilling some purposes above if need be. Yet all of which is dodgeable (i think also vanish kickable but I could be wrong there). Tbf Vegeta Gloves are more for raw damage & it's an item.

Fake Death can be annoying to deal with against a good player yet I still think it's fine. Especially compared to what ya had to deal with before the knockback gauge was a thing. Yet Rocket Punch needs at least some reason to use it, now that ya mention it.

Also, I doubt the speed of the dragon balls bein dropped got increased, it looks the same to me.

Didn't say the dragonballs, said the person. I specifically remember using yamcha death explosion near launch and I didn't fall that fast lol.

Ya didn't specify players either, ya said "Best part is how fast it makes *them* plummet" without bein' specific, I got confused because of that. In that case, I guess i still don't know then, since I didn't touch on that skill a lot at the time since I preferred others then & still kinda prefer other skills now.

When you realize it is one of the only things that bypasses the stun meter? Yeah, I'd say it is a legitimate complaint.

Never thought i'd see the day someone would complain about the most underrated skill in the game.

You act as if I am a new player, I'm not. I know about the bansho fan and I know that it has a longer range, but I also know it has a start up AND a travel time. Best of all, the raider can dodge it because of those two things. A survivor could be fighting you up in your face, blow up, revive and hey, look at that, the team has the dragonball you were carrying now.

Most players wouldn't even notice this, but it is something that has become somewhat of a nuisance in dragonball prevention techniques, ya know, hold one, prevent the team from ball rushing? But how do you prevent someone from just exploding in your face? Back pedal ki blast? Oh wait, UC exists right? So that doesn't work either.

Give me clown rewards if you like, I personally don't care.

would you believe it also deals 0 damage compared to rockets (its either 10 or 100) /galick gun (300) and god forbid even EF (it deals 1. im not joking), It gets auto-KB removal because it deals 0 damage.

Honestly. id love fake death to just remove the explosion and be a hiding perk completely.
the explosion ruins the hiding part of it anyway.

Fake death just needs like 2-3 major buffs/reworks for it to be PASSABLE.
