how much better would reefslider be if it had global range

[guster-animations]

i don’t mean infinite range for the explosion i mean the rail doesn’t end it just goes as far as it can

Everything with global range is bad for the game. Think missiles, wail, stingray.

 

[guster-animations]

im asking how STRONG it would be

 

[stripes]

i honestly feel like this is the least of its problems. all this would do is give its cheese strats even safer places to start them from, which, i mean, yeah, would make it a bit stronger in the worst way possible. but most of the time its current amount of distance is sufficient i feel. it's basically everything else about it that needs to be redone

I WOULD LIKE IT VERY MUCH

Reef is different imo, It's not the same as missiles or wail or stingray. Reef isnt a projectile it's a close combat explosion

 

[Yosi Spring]

I don't think that would help it much, except maybe allowing it to do clam blitz cheese like Kraken

Honestly, it’d be pretty funny if the explosion at the end painted the whole map every time you used the special

slider cheese
that is all

 

[Abyss]

Interesting, but what if you could also control it like a kart from Mario Kart.

It has the same energy as hacking melee to make shine have infininte range and one hit ko

 

[Catloafman]

It would be very funny if it also had infinite duration so you could slider into a corner and just stay there

 

[Shayreep]

I think along with endless rail it should also gain the ability to go thru walls

This wouldn't be the same as those though. There are zero maps in the game where you can just zip from one spawn to the other or even get at all close to doing that, so it would never feel infinite. You'd always get stopped by a wall or a ledge before you could get too far in most maps. Infinite range isn't inherently bad, like most people will tell you S1 Killer Wail was fine for example and the issue here is that if this were the only change to Reefslider it'd still be very unsafe unless the special started and ended out of others' lines of fire.

I still think it'd be really cool to bypass mid on some maps and basically get someone behind the enemies super easily. I doubt Nintendo would ever do it because it kinda breaks how the special is meant to be designed but it would make the special feel like it has a lot more purpose than a replacement Splashdown in a game with Splashdown. Kraken can kinda do this but this can do it without your team losing one of its main weapons for nearly as long.
