Posting About Baller

[snapmanx]

I love how the guy basically rag dolls like a tf2 model

[justinallen]

This is the first animator I’ve seen capture the essence of how damn hard baller throws his ball and how it can literally break all your bones.

[verkcuos]

the sheer force of his ball ricocheted this poor man into his monitor and straight into baller

[pacmanrules]

>teleports into the guy’s room
>breaks every bone in his body with a single ball throw
>refuses to elaborate further

[TuxThe]

Is nobody going to talk about the fact that he did a spin before locking on to his target

[mrrobot]

I like how baller just appears
He doesn’t fade in
Doesn’t come outta the closet
Not even from the ceiling.
He had camo
And he exists now 😮

[quesadibro]

this guy is the new squizzy but without the drama they got the thumbnails and everything

[RJYGD]

As an baller guy, i can confirm that this is how we ball someone irl

Bro said “YOU MESSED WITH THE WRONG BALLER FOOL”

The kidnap admin command still remains the best admin command (in my opinion) to this day

[zw-]

i remember going in those free admin games and everybody was using the kidnap commands bro, so nostalgic

[Veehead]

I love how he bounces off his desk instead of slamming his head hard

The Baller is a special weapon in Splatoon 2. It resembles an Inkling- or Octoling-sized hamster ball, and is similar to both the Bubbler and Kraken from Splatoon.

Appearance
The Baller is a transparent sphere that is just large enough to encase an Inkling or Octoling. There are two white strips of tape encircling the Baller that are ripped off when it takes enough damage. A small reservoir of the user's ink rests in the bottom of the Baller.

Splatoon 2
When using the special, an Inkling or Octoling enters the Baller. This allows them to move quickly and blocks incoming damage taken while inking the ground as they move, and also allows them to roll up walls. If ZR is held while in the bubble, or after a set time, the Baller explodes, covering the surrounding area in ink. The Baller being inked results in it shrinking, eventually disappearing, instead of the player using it taking damage. The Baller works similar to Splash Wall in matters of destructive bombs. They explode immediately upon touching it, which can be disastrous for teammates nearby.

It appears in three Octo Expansion Stations:

A04 Roll Out Station
H02 Ballercise Station
J08 F11 Whack-Fu Station
Version history
Version Adjustments
1.2.0
▲ During use, reduced amount of damage received from opponent Shooters (excluding Blasters), Splatlings, and Dualies by 40%.
1.3.0
▲ Made the Baller less likely to be knocked back when hit with enemy attacks.
▲ Increased durability of the Baller by about 33% when the gear ability "Special Power Up" isn't being used. (Durability when using the maximum amount of "Special Power Up" remains unchanged.)
▲ Increased damage radius of explosion by roughly 17% and radius of ink coverage by roughly 7%.
▲ Increased minimum damage caused by explosion: 30.0 → 55.0.
▲ Increased power of explosion to knock back opponents.
1.4.0
▲ Increased damage dealt to opposing Ballers by bursting bubbles by roughly 150%.
▼ Made movement of the Baller easier to hear for surrounding players.
▼ Decreased the radius of minimum damage (55 damage) dealt by the explosion of the Baller by roughly 14% when Special Power Up isn't being used.
Due to changes in gear ability balancing, this radius will be the same as it was previously when the maximum amount of Special Power Up is being used.
2.3.0
▲ Made it so the player can change direction of movement more quickly than before.
3.0.0
▲ Climbing surfaces where inkable walls connect to non-inkable walls will now be easier.
4.3.0
▲ Greatly increased damage dealt to opponent Brellas.
Increased damage to opponent Brellas varies from roughly 3 to 4.8 times the previous amount depending on the Brella.
5.1.0
▼ Decreased duration of active time from roughly 7 to roughly 6 seconds.
5.2.0
▼ Can now be affected by Toxic Mist.
▼ Extended the time the ZR Button has to be held down to trigger this by roughly 16/60 of a second: 30 frames → 46 frames.
▲ When a weapon that has a fast walking speed when not firing or a fast squid-form swimming speed is equipped, increased acceleration on the ground to allow the player to move more quickly.
This applies to the following weapons that can use a Baller.
Aerospray RG
Luna Blaster
Inkbrush Nouveau
Undercover Sorella Brella
▼ When a weapon that has a slow walking speed when not firing or a slow squid-form swimming speed is equipped, reduced maximum speed by roughly 14%.
This applies to the following weapon that can use a Baller.
Custom Explosher
Quotes
“ Enter a defensive ball that protects you from a certain amout of damage as you play.
The ball will eventually explode, allowing you to use the moment you emerge from it as an attack.

You can also hold ZR to build up power and cause the ball to explode yourself.

This guy's the exact opposite of cwitchy. Funny, Actually puts effort into animation, and... i dont have a third thing

[kyler_-]

the way how the carcass of him just flops realistically in the air, lifeless, kinda makes it more scary

[canalluisedan]

Bro looks like if TheOdd1sOut gave up in life 💀

[Viva_Punk]

Lets hope this animator doesnt turn into the freak show like squizzy, love your work dude!

[waluigi]

I love this so freaking much, I love the how they bounce and how they just get ragdolled and looks like they flopped a little and you can't forget the baller spawn out of nowhere and turn animation the sound effects, and the smile and getting their day ruined it's just perfect. Thank God I was able to see this

[TheNerd]

It starts with one thing
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me
Will eventually be a memory of a time when
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me in the end
You kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
