i didnt use 1 L attack in those combos and even without the the starters its still around 530-550k (as you can see in the the 2nd combo i start with j.S B C S)
Wow… looks like all those early fears of him being the new wolverine got capcom scared. I remember playing him at evo… could swear he did quite a bit more damage on that build.
Didnt use one L? can he combo two M’s? Whatever.
I’m not worried, for one its pretty much week one, and for two, 500k isnt really “low damage” considering Wesker’s no meter relaunch foes 700k, which is really a little too much. You dont want to kill the whole character in one combo with no meters do you?
If firebrand did any more damage he’s be far to good… I def think he’s gonna be a problem later on down the line.
Also all his attacks besides crouching attacks are Positive on block
Did Stratoforce die?
If he did, the thread needs an owner and I’m willing to take care of it…
Yea if Firebrand hit hard he would be insanely dumb. I don’t mind having to work a little bit harder to get kills. With his tools it it doesn’t seem opening people up will be a problem… especially with a solid assist.
I still love that he builds meter in luminous body
He said he has no intention of keeping the thread up. I think everyone would appreciate it having a new owner. Again I’ll shamelessly offer my Dormammu thread’s skeleton if you want to use it.
Deal… I’ll get on it today. Let me PM a mod to make sure I get the ok.
how much meter did each of those bnb’s build?
day 2 stuff with firebrand. the speed up super leaves you in fly so your able to do combos like these.

Thanks Rayray. Have you compared the damage between those combos you showed and just his basic double relaunch series?
Firebrand is going to need some THC synergy because he doesn’t have a unscaled level 3 and his damage isn’t a lot.
no, firebrand is going to need assists to keep him in there. his damage is horrible, but he is going to have stupid mixups.
Sure, but it doesn’t hurt Firebrand have THC synergy when he needs to kill character. Resets/mixups will build meter for Firebrand because he can reset the meter gain. He can probably build enough for THCs. THCs aren’t useless, and they benefit for a character that doesn’t have a level 3 unscaled move.
Jill had the same issue as Firebrand did in Vanilla, THCs allow Jill do some pretty practical damage back then.
Does anyone know how effective his meter building is?
he doesnt gain much meter because his damage is so low. if you see from the combos i posted only about 1 or 2 of them actually gain a meter and they have 4 launches
he the regualar relaunch combo does about 280 before the super. and if you guys didnt notice in most of those combos im only using M and H and it still does that terrible damage. the 2nd combo in the vid is the one i’ve been using as my bnb in matches
You don’t sound too impressed with him overall, you gonna try him out for a bit, or you bailing on him early and rocking another new character? Or just sticking with your old shit since ryu’s buffs prolly counter magneto’s nerfs and the team as a whole prolly got better in ultimate.
Has anybody toyed with his LVL 3 yet?
lol nothing counters magneto’s nerfs. im not to sure but right now im doing really well with firebrand but i dont see him being a threat. he has great pressure a great instant overhead but he doesnt kill and other characters do(same as morrigan or chun in vanilla).
