One thing I’ve realized about Joe is that he works well with most of the cast. To find a good partner requires that they work well with him, which is far harder. They have to either be good with his bomb or be good by themselves because they won’t be able to rely on an assist. DHCs into the gun are a positive, but nearly impossible for the vast majority and doesn’t do great damage anyways.
Right now I’m working on the following characters:
Tekkaman
Ippatsuman
Polimar
Condor
And a few others potentially
Of those, the one who has the most syncrony is by far Tekkaman due to his assist and he has a few bomb setups too. But its still not great yet.
I feel like Frank/Joe would be pretty damn good. Frank might be able to combo into Joe’s bomb using his OTG BnB (the cart pushes the bomb along with it), but I haven’t been able to successfully land it yet. I just wish I could play Frank well, but he just feels weird to me.
