I wish I caught the game sound desync sooner, but I didn't want to lose a run like this to that. I'm still shocked the Dyna Blade fight went the way it did.

There's a ballot for Kirby abilities to see which ones players would want in the next game, with Yoyo being a choice. I'm doing this because Nintendo has killed my faith in them with their adhereance to increasingly shallow practices, even before the likes of the Wargroove developers proved they would make it clear that on the internet, being angry is a sin, but being toxic isn't. And that's a problem when I find they don't give sufficient structure to game balance as I complain about right after the Computer Virus fight. Those sorts of problem I complain about are quite prevalent. I'll be pleasantly surprised if Nintendo, or even any game company, at least listens, but with how corrupt gaming has become...well, gotta try at least, right?

When it comes down to it, Yoyo is surprisingly good at issuing automatic offense, but it has mobility problems, which is probably why it feels like a Glass Cannon ability. I'm left wondering why Gazer Spiral's star hit deals 26 damage instead of 32, which wouldn't be incredible, but it would incentivize more risk with Yoyo than just using the vertical attacks for 12.5% extra damage compared to the normal horizontal attack. I don't think Yoyo in general needs to get nerfed so much as risky moves as a whole, such as Gazer Spiral or Cutter's Cutter Drop, need to get buffed damage, especially to compete a bit with star attacks like Yoyo's own Hammer Drop.

I'm not going to talk about the bosses and how Yoyo stacks with them. I'll just talk about how Yoyo has burst damage problems and that's why it's bad against Computer Virus, unless somebody can top the 80 damage I deal with 3 Verticals followed by Gazer Spiral. Good luck with that, and don't say Hammer Drop, because Gim will auto-attack before the CV portion comes out of its window to be attacked. It's also dumb to see Gazer Spiral get suffocated by the division defense of any of CV's Guard states, with the Dragon's being the most offensive about it by and far. But hey, what do I know about good game balance? Apparently I'm just some amateur. People like the Advance Wars subreddit's members say so.
