Brushing the Field - Amaterasu Thread

[Sensei_Rouzu]

• Ammy’s Celestrial brush Hyper combo is brutal, it’s almost instant and saved my ass plenty of times, if your not blocking or ur jabing at the moment I call it out, you may get hit by it. The last hit with the lighting strike will hit grounded opponents at the end. comboed very easily into and is fairly safe againts some characters from full screen if you can manage.

• Ammy can duck under a lot of projectiles and hyper projectiles so long as it’s not to low. Some she can walk under a bit while others she has to stay duck avoiding chip damage all together. Avoided two of Deadpools Gun Supers in a row (masher). Think Servbot height.

• Ammys Medium attack is a dash attack, goes about her character length across. I was using it to close the distance on players just holding block all day, made for getting those low attacks in easily. She’s also good and crossing you up thanks to her size, I was dashing under Doom like all day when he was decending from his air attacks waiting to launch them.

Most of this is common knowledge but this is what I got out of it due to time restraints and fighting off constant mashers that did’nt give me room to try out moves, I did’nt get as much time (As I could have thanks to the unorganized way this event was handled dispite my early arrival in line). It takes a significant time to get use to the fighting system then actually learning the characters and how they work. I was just getting the hang of the flow by match 3 but I only played 4 times. I was so use to MvC2 it was hard to break from hitting where lk would be (It is their launcher, mk and hk are the assist buttons).

Her Mist is gdlk.

You actually played with her? Oh man I wish I could be you. What’s her third assist? Can you be more specific about Mist?

“When I started looking through Ammy’s assists, I could not find the Ice Shots attack that fired from the ground. Seth told me that it was way too good, so now the only Ice Shot assist she has is from the air pointing downforward, and it has much more considerable startup. This didn’t stop it from being poweful, though, and most Ammy players took to this assist right away.”

Damn, I guess her ground Ice Shots was too good that they had to change it.

Fast, good damage, lots of stun, and apparently sets up psuedo invisible mixups by having a flashy block animation.

[Nyoronoru]

I was already building strats around the grounded ice shots lol. I knew they were too good.

The Mist slows everything, it allows you to do combos that you could’nt do, it does’nt just slow down the characters movements but their hit recovery as well so add some assist attacks and you can make a combo go a long way. Sadly though I just did’nt have enough time to try everything. Her Third assist is the Air Ice shot, it’s slow start up but it’s still just as good, just have to becareful calling it out. This build had assist comming out so slow cuz like in MvC 2 your use to it being instantainious. A match with my Dormammu I kept calling him out vs a spamming Super Skrull, by the time my team was wiped out and got to Dormammu his health was all read and I did’nt know how to do the X Factor :(.

Solar Flare and Bloom are her other assist. But I did’nt get a chance to try them.

[Sensei_Rouzu]

What are Solar Flare and Bloom? Also I remember her having a grounded ice assist. Thanks for the info.

[Windsagio]

solar flare is most likely her counter (which would be awesome), bloom is the thing that she uses in Okami to make plants come back to life, create lilly pads, etc. No idea how you’d apply that to mvc tho’

Fahrk!!! Let it be known that this is (possibly) tge first time an assist was removed from a build totally cuz it was too good. You will be missed ground Ice Shots. raises shot glass for each hit they do

@Sensei: Solar Flare wad the best Reflector (the disk) weapon in Okami. Lvl 5 so we presume the assist revolves a round that so it might be the dash, or a block/counter. I think Galestorm woud’ve been cool. Supa Lockdown!

[elvis_a_presley]

Amaterasu has an SPD. [media=youtube]WCuByRUTpwc#t=0m10s"[/media]

(Note: I have not been following MvC3 news and this is probably an already known move that functions entirely differently to conventional SPD’s. But look, it spins!)

Was her standard block/counter in Okami. I was hoping it would make it into MvC3, and I’m pretty damn excited it’s here now.

[blufang]

This is easily my favorite character in the game thusfar. Playing as a 4 legged beast with all those attack options and super speed, she’ll probably be a blast to play.

[Sylari]

Mist looks much less threatening in some of the more recent videos where people just hold down back for a few seconds >_>

[Syke1]

Dint you EVAR!!! Count out Ammy Sugah!!! I’m still startled that we don’t have a movelist

[Paper_Tank]

So did they erase the Issun lines? I haven’t heard him since the Ammy intro vid.

That apparently wasn’t him. The voice was some 2nd announcer they were testing out or sumthin

[No_Cigar]

I can’t wait until the game drops. There’s so much stuff I want to try out with Amateratsu and everyone else.

[Realpolitix]

Amaterasu is definitely a character whose effectiveness will increase as time goes on. No one has come close to showcasing her combo potential with weapon switches.

I’m curious to how combining Mist and the use of the reflector counter would work out. If you can OTG after it, it would be a low-risk high-reward move that would coerce your opponent to just block and deal with your mix-up. Maybe combining it with Viewtiful Joe will let you counter some moves on reaction. :looney:

[Windsagio]

Just wanna confirm from the recent films;

Solar flare is the counter,
Bloom is a meter boost.

[yah_yaahh_b_tch]

I plan to play Amaterasu, Morrigan, Dormammu & Trish almost exclusively at the ATL fight club in 2 weeks if Mookie and Wesker arent playable.

Not enough footage at all. Not guaranteeing that I’ll play god tier but ill at least try to see what she can do, we have literally no really footage of style switching and Ammy looks like a zoning nightmare with the right assists.

[Windsagio]

also, there appear to be different elemental effects for her counter, I didn’t see any connect with any of them tho’ (saw green and red)

[yah_yaahh_b_tch]

Fuck, I wish we had a movelist. I dunno how the hell im gonna try out moves I dont even have a movelist. Ammy’s isnt on the first page.

I do remember hearing that you change styles with down down and some attack button.

Maybe I’ll go against a guy who wants to screw around for a few seconds instead of mash till his fingers fall off.
