We just had our UK Birmingham MvC3 fight club and I played near 10 hours of Deadpool/Ryu/Ironman.
My thoughts on Deadpool:
I was using Deadpool as a battery, as he’s a great zoner with a good assist, air guns and pineapples plus the assist can really frustrate people especially as he has a teleport too.
The teleport is great for mixups, using an assist to cover you whilst you go for teleport shenanigans or even teleporting under them after you kill a character and a new one drops in.
The trigger Happy gun extends, you can only do these moves BEFORE the bullets come out, you cannont cancel at any point
Air shurikens are only good for certain situations, as it hits directly below him as pineapples and Bola/bolo (whatever) do not. They have shit range but they hit an area where your opponent is trying to get to, underneath you.
Bola/bolo needs some testing, it’s got a bit of start up and falls in a 45 degree angle but until we find ways into it it’s not really worth using in comparison to pineapples.
Pineapples are great. Pineapples hits on touch and bounces along the ground about 75% of the screen away. Really useful with air guns and an assist to zone well.
As far as his assists go, trigger happy has some start up but covers the whole screen, as I used deadpool as a battery and had better assists from other characters (ryu’s shoryuken/ironmans repulsor or unibeam) i didnt use trigger happy too much. HOWEVER, i heard at the end of the day that his quick slash assist MIGHT hit low??? if so that will be useful for unblockables.
6B overhead has pretty slow start up and 2 hits, didnt get enough practice with this as people were blocking or hitting me out of it, i had to use assists to keep them in block stun whilst i went for it. Still, better to have than not to have.
The slash super QCB+2attacks does not have too much projectile invincibility but it does have some.
Counter lvl3 super is great against obvious physical attacks (Hulks jumping in normals for eg) or supers that are physical hits. Especially when people are contempt with doing the same strings or set ups.
Dash and Wavedash with deadpool is actually too amazing, he is so low to the ground during the dash that he’s literally like a Mishima. And yeah, he can dash under a standing Magneto or Storm for some ridiculous mixups with assists and without.
BnB’s:
2A, 5B(2 hits), 2C, 5E, jump, j.ABCE, land, DP+C,C, wallbounce, dash, 5E, neutral jump, j.E, WAIT A BIT, air gun super OTG’s
As the OTG leaves them grounded for ages after the second j.E, deadpool falls back a bit if you wait and then can shoot them on the ground with air super.
After the wall bounce in the BnB deadpool can ground gun super into whatever, X-factor into another, DHC etc etc.
Some people wont like him as he is mainly a zoner, runaway but I still felt he was very fun.
