Sorry but sadly for now it feels like Spidey has suffered more nerfs than buffs. The web throw now scales but now you can follow up after it (half good, half bad), the webzip is faster and we can cancel specials into it but from what we know it is now negative on block which is very bad for him and by losing the ability to block on our airdash it looks like spidey will be even more assist dependant than in MVC3.
LOLFACT
Does this mean that Chun Li has gotten even worse now?? LOOOOOOOOOOL
Much ado about nothing guys. This is hilarious. No one airdashed and blocked regularly except Ammy, and her strength was in her versatility anyway, not in her ability to bulldoze forward in Solar Flare over and over again. She can feint vines and pick her spots.
Let’s not pretend like airdashing in blocking was a terrific idea in a game where everyone airthrows everyone to death on reaction to jump-ins, either. That’s not how it plays out. Everyone is airdashing forward mashing on OS throw/air H like everyone else.
Pre-MvC3 you couldn’t block during airdashes. See also the reason 60% of random Hailstorms hit.
have you really met a spider-man player that didn’t air dash at all but used web zip instead? i think i heard somewhere that you can’t block while web zipping either but i am probably wrong.
The issues I have with this as a Dorm player is against characters like dante/trish or anyone else who can stuff dorms tri-jumps with good anti airs i sometimes just forward airdash and block so i can get a bit closer since dorm has no wavedash and his walk spped is ass.
Blocking during universal airdashes being taken out is fine with me. As a Zero player (also playing a bit of Ammy) the fact that you can just dash into danger and then hold back and block at the last possible moment is pretty damn stupid. On top of the fact that zoning is not really that good in 3 in the first place, hopefully zoning will be more of a threat so characters like Zero and Ammy have to commit to their mobility actions.
Pressing two buttons and then letting the game do all the work all the while you’re being more and more able to pressure your opponent was so silly in 3.
I’m glad the universal 8-way airdash was fixed to only downback. I couldn’t imagine what Iron Man (and Thor I suppose) having to put up with even more mobility issues.
