GAH GRAKH GAH! (Victory is Mine!) Official Firebrand Discussion Thread!

Wot happened to firebrand’s combo thread? Did it get locked because it was horrible. I wanted some resources to figure out a half decent combo before I play ultimate.

Day one combo:
c.LMHS, sj.MMH, d.H, fly-cancel, s.S, sj.MMH, qcf.S, s.S, sj.S, qcf.AA

Or something like that.

Thanks Karst

Really excited for Firebrand for some reason, I love these slept on characters. Think he has a lot of potential in this game so I’m looking forward to hitting the lab with you guys.

Got to play with Firebrand for like 5 hours; super fun, you guys will love him. Think of him as a *good * X-23 that flies around.

Want to answer my massive list of questions, Bonesaw? :wink:

I cant wait to hear more about Firebrand either…

Unfortunately I think all we will be hearing about it Vergil, Strider, Ghost Rider etc…

Been playing Firebrand for a day now and he is awesome. His qcb+M is an awesome crossup that can be cancelled after any regular attack. I use d+H into that a lot.

His air d+H air cancel (air qcb+W) can be a little tough though.

He can do multiple actions in the air, but if you do his qcf+H in the air you can’t perform any actions after that, he just lands down.

Do you feel he would be a pretty decent anchor? I want to use him as that for me VIper/Dante team

I suggest starting off with him as your first character in the match. His assists are not really that great.

Annoy players with jumping angled fireballs followed by special air dashing to get in.

are firebrands assists all terrible? or can the demon missiles be of some use?

His assists are mediocre to bad.

Does he have aerials that cross up? Does he auto-correct his facing when using command dashes?

Is Dive Kick cancelable into his command dashes or other specials?

Really? I’m sure I’ve seen otherwise. Maybe you need to enter flight first.

I was hoping people wouldn’t go nuts over Firebrand on release, now I can be a beacon of awesome shining through a sea of vergils and striders and shit. Planning to try him with Arthur on the back to see how they work, but two low health characters like that on the same team may not be da bess idea.

anyone have it early try mission 9? I can’t seem to pull it off… for some reason it is trying 2 wall bounces lol it’s odd

Well I haven’t found any good aerial cross ups yet and I still have to test if he has an auto-correct.

Well here is the problem with his Air Dashes and Dive Kick.

You cannot cancel his Air Dashes and Dive Kick with any attack or special. You have to wait until the the Air Dash is over in order to attack and his Dive Kick puts him in automatic flight and then you can cancel his flight with his cancel or any other attack.

I’m playing as him online, but it’s a little difficult trying to do some strategies when all the players I’m facing are only picking old teams, you may see them use one new character here and there but its all old characters.

I’ll experiment with his Ground Flame more to see if he can do anything immediately after that, but so far I can’t get anything to come out after that until you hit the ground.

You have to jump over Iron Fist at the start of the mission and put your back to the corner to do it. The daggers follow you, and prevent the first wallbounce.

My Firebrand BNB is:

LMH(2)S sj. j.MMH(2)d.H xx qcb.A s.S sj. j.MMH xx qcf.H s.S sj. j.MMHS qcf+2atk

Dam this character is weak. Im starting to get used to controlling him. Here’s my bnb so far

heres a corner combo with speed up super

That first combo got scaled severely because you did one too many loops, I’d revamp it with less L attacks.

Also why did you call sent Drones? It looks like in the first one it was an extender, unsure about the second one.
