Another thought:
Firebrand’s Bon Voyage covers the entire floor plane very quickly during Luminous Body. It might be possible to DHC into Luminous Body and make some full-screen hypers into full combos. So, for example:
Depending on Bon Voyage’s hitbox and how fast Firebrand can move, you might even be able to convert something like Chaotic Flame into a full combo.
lol kars you sound rather excited bout this character, its always nice to see.
Let me put it this way: if I had the time, I would make the main Firebrand thread, and I would devote to it every bit of detail I put into Dormammu’s. Firebrand was one of my top 5 Capcom characters I wanted, but I put him up there with Rathalos and Nina as having no chance of getting in. Just a silly dream. Not only am I ecstatic that he’s in, but I really dig his playstyle.
Since release, I have changed my team every 2 weeks or so because nothing satisfies me. I am thrilled that I finally have a second character I want to learn beyond Dormammu.
Like I said in my last post, its always refreshing to see someone genuinely excited about a character especially one so obscure, I mean personally no one I wanted made it but w/e. Shame your not gonna make the firebrand thread though, I love the dormammu thread.
Yeah. I’m happy I enjoy the same characters as Karsticles lol, god knows how much the Dormammu section helped me. Too bad you can’t take care of the Firebrand section (make time, dammit), hopefully whoever claims it does a job as good as yours.
Thanks for your support. I think I’ll be plenty busy keeping up with the Dormammu one come UMvC3 as it is! I’m starting grad school in a month, so that should be taking up most of my time if I am wise with my decisions, haha.
It looks like something as simple as him superjumping followed by the traveling firepool will be hard for people to counter, and it gets him in easy. Things I am wondering right now:
The use of his level 3 today was pretty smooth.
His flight didn’t seem to last very long in the vid I saw, maybe he can activate flight more than once in the air or something cause so far his flight seems very generic, but ill wait till we see more/get our hands on it before I write it off. Other than that and some sick lvl 3 pressure we haven’t seen much of him from gamescom, it seems the wolverines desciple hype has died down and now people are moving on the dr. Shame, id really like to see more of him, of all the new characters he is the one I know the least about.
Btw anyone know if his swooping assist is an overhead? It looks like one but you never know.
Played some at Fight Club. The most pleasant surprise, and the most fun I’ll have short of PW (simply because he’s PW). Started figuring out nasty stuff near the end.
He has 2 command airdashes…something like that and can do them 3 times in the air. Different buttons leads to different directions. Can wall cling.
TKing these can lead to crossup and overhead mixups.
The speed boost from luminous body is INSANE. XF+Lumuinous Body is an absolute terror.
Good question about the assist being an overhead; I haven’t seen it used much. Most people like his fire puddle.
Interesting - how does it all work?
Have you noticed any specific changes beyond the speed boost?
I posted everything I know about how he works. It’s hard to figure out movement options and specific effects when everyone’s in your ass trying to rush you down. Sorry. Hopefully I’ll be at NYCC as well.
It’s cool. Thanks for posting what you did. It looks like Firebrand will be a lot like Trish. A good character, but many people just aren’t feeling him for some reason (aesthetics?).
That just means we need to appreciate those of us who give what we can. Not every character gets Dante-esque love.
Hmmm a couple of moveset notes.
On the ground, A fire shoots horizontal, B fire shoots up, C Fire shoots traveling ground fire.
In air, A fire is horizontal, B Fire shoots down, C Fire shoots down closer to Firebrand and travels on the ground after hitting it. C versions otg.
214S is flight.
421C is his divekick. Groundbounce and puts you in flightmode. If you’re close enough to the ground on hit, you can get a quick chain afterward.
623X and 214X appeared to be the command airdashes.
Not sure exactly how to do anything else.
Oh man! I’m really excited whit Firebrand here. One thing that I’ve noticed is about his Level 3. I think that the second Arremer is not an CPU and is a controled by players.

Yep. Noted that at SDCC.
Level 3 Troll Swoop is Godlike!!!
By the sound of his special move commands, Firebrand doesn’t seem Noob Friendly…
GOOD!
Well that vid confirms(unfortunately) that his swoop isn’t an overhead, oh well no biggie. Plus his level 3 really does look mad annoying.
Damn. Firebrand vs. Doctor Strange was a very interesting matchup.
Maybe someone will make a successful magical asshole team like Dr. Strange, Firebrand and Morrigan.
I’m thinking Dr. Strange, Firebrand and Arthur.
Breakdown of firebrands alts, http://www.gamespot.com/special_feature/marvelcapcom-breakdown/image-feature/index.html?image=20 he has some nice color variety in his selection of alts but his colors aren’t so out there its impossible to co-ordinate(heres looking at you morrigan) which is what I like seeing.
