Purple Pikmin are OP... Again

Ойындар

They messed up Purple Pikmin badly in Pikmin 3, so what did they do to fix them in Pikmin 4? At long last, the incredible Pikmin 4 has been released to us all after a whole decade! There are so many things to talk about, but first, let's discuss the changes made to the Purple pounders.

    I think it's worth noting that you're limited to 3 Pikmin types at a time, so you're not always gonna have purples with you unlike in 2. Since most players will just go with the 3 types that the game recommends you use for any given area/cave, which doesn't include purples very often, it makes them feel much more unique when you do get to use them. If they didn't have that strong initial thud attack, you might as well always go with Rock Pikmin instead of purples since they also are great fighters and have a strong "collision" attack, not to mention they're immune to getting crushed unlike purples. In my opinion the purples are very well balanced in this game. Not to mention the purple union is at the end of the long and challenging sage leaf gauntlet, most players won't get it until very late into the game, if not during post-game *after* the main story, so it's not a big deal that you can "easily" farm them at some point.

    I’ve been testing purple pikmin’s impact damage! they usually deal double or more the impact damage of rock pikmin, it varies per enemy, but purple’s impact damage doesn’t activate during oatchi rushes, they also only deal the same damage as red pikmin if they fail to activate their impact damage. This differs from rock pikmin who can’t latch on at all but their impact damage activates during oatchi rushes, rushing with rocks on oatchi is like throwing half the number of purple pikmin except it registers instantly. I think purples slam is still a little too powerful, it should probably be the same as rocks so they’re like a compromise between rocks and reds imo.

    Well said. The balance of purples and rocks just feels like it’s in a weird spot. Currently, purples do a better job at what rock Pikmin should be doing with throw impact. Rocks don’t really have a use outside of breaking glass. I will say it feels so good to do an Oatchi rush slam with a bunch of rocks and just watch them melt an enemy. I just wish throwing a bunch of them felt as good.

  • @lasercraft32

    Pikmin 4 is definitely the most balanced. The only Pikmin that were somewhat underutilized were the Winged Pikmin, which don't have a lot of specific required uses. Pretty much every other type has a lot of required puzzles and hazards and the fact that you can only have 3 types at once further helps to make every type feel useful. For the first half of the game, I found it super underwhelming how little the reds were used. Blue Pikmin and Ice Pikmin had the most use, and there were puzzles and high places for Yellows... but then during the second half of the game they introduced a new mechanic with the burning charcoals to make reds useful again! They even had a cave in the house area that could only be entered with reds (I wish they had one for yellows too though... blues had the Engulfed Castle, but yellows didn't get their own cave). Winged and Rocks don't have as much main story use, but they make up for it by being utilized more in the Dandori challenges.

They're basically invincible when carrying (and can take shortcuts) but bringing them with you means you can't deal with an Hazard that taking another type could. Trading commodity for efficency, like bringing purples for combat. Tho, I wish they weren't this rare lol. I litteraly completed the main story without seeing one.

    I feel like purples are okay as is, because unlike Pikmin 2 you CANT bring them everywhere due to the type limit. Additionally, theyre pretty rarely found in Dandori Challenges/battles.

    I actually really like the niche that Purples have in Pikmin 4. They aren't stupid OP in the same way as in Pikmin 2, but they are extremely useful as trashkillers for when a bunch of weaker creatures are present. It kind of seems like that wouldn't be a huge deal but that exact scenario is present in a lot of caves and trials so being able to clear out rooms of weak enemies extremely fast feels like a great use for them. I also feel similarly about Whites, I never really used them in 2 because you get them too infrequently to have them be super useful outside of when they are needed and the poisoning enemies on being eaten doesn't feel good because you have to waste a rare pikmin to use it. But now that you can get white and purple onions, White pikmin are a great jack of all trades for building and carrying stuff.

Making purples strong again as well as giving a purple onion is very helpful to that end. Pikmin 4 has already done better in its first week then the previous three did combined in their first weeks. I think they were getting people invested in these games so future ones can go back to the difficulty of the first 2 and still sell well.

    I think the purple onion being a late game thing combined with the 3 pikmin type limit (but mostly just the 3 type limit) really balances purples.

    I really like that the purple onion is locked behind the dandori gauntlet. I personally believe it to be the hardest challenge the game has to offer, moreso than its final boss, so it seems very fitting to have the most powerful reward locked behind the hardest challenge. Feels like a moment of "if you can beat this, you can beat anything. Go wild, enjoy the chaos." Also makes collecting that bar of gold a lot less time consuming.

    Since I see nobody mentioning it I think your testing on the bulborb was flawed as the reds are flowered while purples are all leaves. So I assume purples would do more even upon charge attacks making them the strongest fighters in most any situation unless it's a fiery bulblax or something

    At 6:00 you show that they kill the bulborb at the exact same time, but also the purples were all Leafed, and the Reds were all flowers so it wasn't exactly a even comparison. If that is the case then i would imagine purples would be stronger when flowered than Reds.

  • @michaelr3077
    @michaelr307711 ай бұрын

    keeping purples overpowered makes it more valuable to have to do some of the hardest challenges just to get them. It rewards you for going out of your way to get purples easier (even though caves are easy enough to grind wild purples.) You actually want a reason to go out of the way to get purples because they are worth using and you no longer have to worry about loing them (although if you're using purples i question how are you losing. They're purples). You took the time to get the onion you should get to use them however you want and they sure better be useful.

  • @thedizzytuna

    I think Purples are perfectly balanced in this game yes they are the strongest fighters but they appear late in the game and getting their onion is the hardest thing in the game this all paired with the 3 type limit really makes me use them just as often as any other type of pikmin. I genuinely cant say i used any Pikmin more than any other type and i platinumed and 100% completed everything in the game

  • @silverarch0633

  • @majoravoidjester
    @majoravoidjester10 ай бұрын

    if they really wanted to make purples a bit weaker, i think just making it so they have to actually slam onto the enemies to get the bonus damage would be a good way to go about it. that way, they have a clear time where they are most useful, that being against smaller enemies that they can successfully thud on, and they also have clear weaknesses, that being against enemies that are too high to slam on top of.

    @idiotnumbnuts848611 ай бұрын

    I think the purples being the strongest fighters overall with the impact damage like the rocks and the latch damage like the reds is actually really balanced in this game. They’re still pretty slow, and they have the worst range because they fall early. There’s a lot of creatures that the purples completely whiff a lot of the time that any other type can hit. It’s also almost guaranteed that you get the purple onion last with how difficult it is to get. You have to be a pretty good player to get your hands on it, so purples won’t carry you through the game like they can in Pikmin 2. This game really did almost everything perfectly.

    I think it's fine for purples to be this powerful considering you get them so late and getting the purple onion is decently late into the game. More than anything I think there is so much choice in what to do when that there's going to be a lot of interesting speedrun routes over time.
