moglimooglePosted 1/22/2013 7:19:33 AM | do people really have that big of a problem with it? I'm a pretty decent drake and never notice higher ranked belted players having much issue getting around them. Also saw on a post that his super lvl one has to much range..I dont believe its that much larger than most of the rest of the cast and a nat's fart is all it takes to cause him to fail in getting a shot off. Drakes a good character and his barrels are a chore sometimes but i think if more people took a walk in his shoes they'd lighten up on his oil drums..(specifically his challenge where you only build AP while your barrel is out and you have like 3m to get 3 kills). My walk in sly's shoes definitely gave me a better perspective on him and silenced some of my cries of foulplay.

You can destroy it or if sly counter and teleport behind him..I suppose in like stowaways in the beginning they can be obnoxious but everything is insane in those close quarters.

If you block it as well as the inevitable follow-up Run and Gun, Drake is easily punishable. --- Sent from my iPhone via PowerFAQs 1.9... if you use PowerFAQs, ask me how to change your quoting style STAT!

RileyRoperPosted 1/22/2013 7:58:08 AM | I support and agree with this post. For the people calling for a Drake nerf, what exactly would you change about the barrel? Outside of people saying "it's annoying", nobody can say what should be changed about it.

fulcar95Posted 1/22/2013 8:09:45 AM | Yes, the barrel deals serious punishment on multiple levels. When it hits a player, it doesn't explode on impact, it trips them up and keeps on going, hitting another player if possible (or a wall to bounce back), and then explodes in a pretty large radius that sends anyone nearby flying. No other melee attack besides counters works against it, and only like 4 or 5 chars in the game can counter. Even if you shoot it with a projectile, if it explodes near you, you get sent flying. Blocking only keeps the barrel on top of you, leaving you a sitting duck for Drake, who can explode it and/or ak run and gun you which breaks guard and sends you flying. All of this means, you HAVE to jump the barrel, and Drake has more than enough anti-air attacks to punish you for it. Not only that, he can summon the barrel IN THE AIR (which is the icing on the cake), so if the player jumps expecting a barrel, but Drake jumps too and summons it, you get a barrel in the face, plus a trip up, and anything else Drake wants to hit you with. His barrel was voted as the most annoying character attack in the game, even more than Kratos' forward square, which got nerfed finally.
Actually, IIRC, Sackboy's fan sends the barrel right back at Drake and it can actually hit and explode on him. It would actually be a bit more fair if Drake could get caught in his own barrel explosion regardless. Nariko also reflects projectiles with her counter, but I haven't seen it used on his barrel yet. I'll have to test it out later.

moglimoogle (Topic Creator) Posted 1/22/2013 8:22:46 AM | other characters can knock it back at him as well..i believe sly's barrel move..parappa might have one i forget but he can definitely have the barrel turned on him...blocking the barrel and its on top of you?..dodge roll back or forward? We did a few drake x4 ffa matches the other night..try that and it will make you better about getting around them but probably if it already drives you up the wall that might be a bit too much for you. The explosion i guess is a bit dramatic but most often i see them detonate without realizing a target.
What should be changed about it to make it more fair in the communities' eyes? I'm down for balance even if it affects my main.
