Overall Bamboo main here. Ngl I've been thinking about the Bambrella (No I will not call it by it's "actual" name, whichever localizer they hired for that should feel as bad as it feels to say that name out loud), and my god they fumbled the entire concept so hard. It's supposed to play like a glass cannon that uses its shield as a movement tool and distraction rather than a actual defense, which SHOULD work, but with how they balanced the weapon it just... doesn't. Its shield is so weak that it is the ONLY Brella where the 10 frame canopy openy buff all brellas got a few patches ago actually HURT it since your brella can break before it even COMES OUT on your screen when you didn't even intend on opening. (Seriously, play a few matches and it'll happen to you at least once or twice) There's no point in using the shield as a distraction or movement tool either given how it gets obliterated by most weapons within half a second, and is rather predictable. On top of that, the actual gun stats are just about as terrible. Sure, the damage caps at 90, which is nice, but then you realize that if your aim is even 1 pixel off, the horrendous fall off will take it from a "reliable" 2-shot to a 3-4 shot. To top it off, the ink consumption, while being a nice nod to the Bamboozler, makes it almost as bad, not because it's only 14 shots, but because if you flare your shield for even HALF a second, you just lost anywhere from 10-20% of your ink tank because of how shield launch ink consumption works, which takes your shots from 14 regular to 5 if you have no ISM and are flaring for a few frames each shot. To top it off, you can barely fight since the main (no matter which kit) has absolutely NO way to paint easily aside from its main weapon, which is pretty important for a skirmisher type weapon, combined with the ink consumption when flaring (which is the ONLY reason Splat Brella can go toe-to-toe with stuff like Splattershot) means you can probably fight for 3 seconds before retreating, unless you want to die within 2 seconds since your shield broke on the first fame. And don't even get me STARTED on those pitiful excuses of kits. There are 266 possible combinations of kits and they somehow chose two of the ABSOLUTE WORST possible ones for it. Angler Shooter actually does work here, which is ironic because whichever localizer named the main weapon probably also named that sub. Big Bubbler though, no. It barely functions with this thing, since it can BARELY hold its ground against most weapons. The only reason this special is SOMEWHAT decent with this weapon is because it can help prevent you from dying from a stray Trizooka shot or rabid inkjet. And the second kit... basically the reverse situation: A Special that fits with a sub that shouldn't even be NEAR the weapon. Mist was already known as one of the weakest subs for two games in a row, I have no idea what they were thinking putting it on a weapon that is already pretty weak with a special that is also known for being weak (Even if the special is at least usable now), when they had ALREADY given the first kit the only sub people consistently agree is WORSE than Mist. I went on a rant, admittedly, but damn this weapon needs some major changes. It doesn't help that they refuse to directly buff this weapon but then give SPLATTERSHOT of all things a buff. This all being said... yeah I still love the weapon lol. Sure, its a pain in the ass, but the playstyle (when it actually works) makes for a fun weapon. If they were to at least give it a kit to mitigate its painting slightly, it could be at least a decent weapon. Hoping they give it the Glooga treatment the next game and give it killer kits... or at least change how the ink is consumed when flaring so you don't run out of ink every 3 seconds lmao
I agree tbh, carbon just feels sad without a burst bomb. Also wow there's a lot of brellas, I feel like nintendo genuinely hates the weapon class since it counters braindea- I mean shooters
I honestly don't agree with the last one. Clash is a *way* worse main weapon than big swig, and the neo clash kit is the dumbest thing imaginable. If you have fun with it, that's cool, but every time someone on my team is using it, i cry.

Goo tubers recent buff feels great

Vcarbon can work it’s just way way harder to make it work
