Your video scares me, an actual reliance on skill and technique vs “runaway”.
To be honest I hate keepaway play when I DP. That’s why I still love “Phoenix” but am growing to detest whenever I go DP. People don’t want to play any more, they just want to run away. Doesn’t matter if they lose anyways, they just don’t want to deal with it. DP is so easy to deal with I don’t know why they do.
Strategies that work on me
-SNAPBACK WITH RUSHDOWN CHARACTER
This terrifies me as a phoenix player. Not just thrown in for a “GET JEAN OUT HERE”, but used in a very well thought out “I’ve conserved every OUNCE of my super bar just for your regular phoenix”
I love as a Phoenix player how people assume they are sentinel/hulk/random large dmg/hp character and my phoenix is done for only for me to completely annihilate that one character. But a great rushdown player with snapbacks? He’s counting on my to try to zone, or teleport. I can rushdown but I run the risk of dying early (mind you I’m talking my stock with Phoenix is one or two bars, nowhere near DP level)
I have no problem playing Phoenix confidently if I have 3 bars, but 1 or 2 and a strong offense…you have my back to the wall, namely with the cheapest way of dealing with phoenix in the game
SPAM PROJECTILE SUPERS/TAG TEAM SUPERS… Taskmaster arrows, dante, drones, SHINKU HADOKEN, at anytime. X-Factor as mentioned is the only issue. I have been chip deathed -countless- times by a well timed super.
*Well, that and a mis-input teleport. I GOT YOUR SUPER GAHAHAHAHA input teleport, jean slides forward…god damnit
Running away is the annoying part for me…just gah. Even if I win the chasedown its just annoying as hell to bother with.
I hate getting time out wins and I hate losing to them. I prefer a KO all day, erryday.
On a side note
Please Capcom, don’t let complaints about DP as the new OP character result in a nerf for her. Jean cannot take it
