Balance assist vs Projectile assist

what is the difference, the only time i see this make a difference is when you pick servbot, which chooses what super he will do.

but for other characters like megaman, shuma, etc.

what is the difference between the 2, does it have to do with their team hyper combo move?, or is there an actual difference assist wise?

it has to do with the variable coutner in (alpha counter in). Shuma has 2 assists where he just shoots the eyes, however his variable counters are different for both (unfortunately i cant remember what either of them are, but they ARE different). another one is Morrigan, she has two assists where they are projectiles, however the balance has her variable counter in with shadow break.

If i am also not mistaken, the team hyper combo may also be different, but then again nobody uses them so who cares.

but yea, unless you dont really care about variable counter ins, it doesnt matter what assist you pick between the two.

I have wondered this as well for quite some time with shuma gorath. Good topic.
