About Rubberman
Luffy fans will spot the reference in Rubberman, an All-Rounder based on Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece. It launched on 16 August 2025 as a Miracle spin style, then became Limited in the Great Rebalance because it did not fit the other Miracle styles. The wiki lists 0.25% per spin and 1% with Lucky Spins, down from 2.02% before. It will not return through spins but may come back in the Black Market.
The signature idea is gears. Gear Switch (C, 15 seconds) toggles between a defensive and an offensive gear. In defense, Gum Block (V, 60 seconds) stretches an arm out to grab a shot, and Gum Slap (B) slaps the ball from an opponent. In offense, Observe lets you dribble past any steal attempt for 4 seconds. The awakening, Liberation, needs the ball and unlocks Liberation Dribble, a four-try rhythm challenge whose completion stuns the opposing team, and DRUMS OF BASKETBALL, a half-court dunk worth 3 points.
The Rubber zone makes you immune to ankle breaks and stuns a nearby enemy when you ankle-break someone. The wiki's meta note calls it a good all-rounder, limited by long windups that leave small windows for steals.
