What does his kick factor do exactly? Is it just impossible to touch him? I kicked him when he was standing still on the ground and lost, and no he didn’t do the animation for his ground special.
Yup, when in kickfactor Baz becomes kill-on-touch. Just get the hell away and try to run out his meter, it doesn’t last as long as other kickfactors.
Uh I think I’m the only Mr.N so far here. I only have 4/3 on ranked, but Marneto and GTFO are such good positioning tools that he doesn’t need to activate kick factor. I don’t know about bad matchups and stuff yet though. imo with a matchup based game like this I think a quick day 1 matchup chart can show off stuff from people that have played quite a bit so far

I haven’t played them all yet, but I think it’s between Markman and Kung Pao. Or possibly both. Redacted being third. I am interested in playing Stream, but he felt really awkward…
The YOLO gem with Baz is messed up, it says there should be a 30% increase in every stat but there isn’t. There’s a thread on Divekick about it:

No, it’s OccupyVita.
Thanks for the info. I will switch to the meter gem probably.

since they’re both really similar
Been playing markman since launch, didn’t really pay attention to the cast in development so when I saw him I was like…
“Hold up. lemme see if this nigga is nice”
Then he pulled out that boombox looking kickbox and shit got real.
I like him but I feel like I really gotta use my head when it comes to him, I gotta factor in angles, speed, enemy meter building. the time in the match (my main focus, this man is a time wizard) while trying to pluck the boom box, which I find to be a punishment when I complete it cause I don’t really like that mode.
I’ve taken a liking to Mr. N. Dat Neckpillow

The Baz and Dr. Shoals.
Shoals is only for match-up specific stuff, though.
Dive is definitely my main. Not willing to commit to a character that gets themselves stuck in the air.
Unrelated, bum ass online chumps taking this shit way too seriously already. Was up 4-2 on some random Mr.N player when the game “mysteriously” starts rewinding like crazy. People will start hacking the leaderboards before long, it’s fuckin Divekick smh it’s not THAT serious.

That “mysterious rewinding” is GGPO.

I’m playing a lot of Dive. Partially due to laziness and part due to just learning the game. Originally I wanted to do Kung Pao since I like her style of play. I also like Markman because his delayed Kung Pao kick is deceptively good. Really wanna learn Stream and S-kill to have that pocket craziness. Unfortunately stuck in PSN in a world that is decidedly steamy. D:
I think what Kotow is saying is that the rewinding is being done on purpose by the players.

And what I am saying is that it’s not the other player, it’s GGPO.

Mr. N and Baz. Baz was going to be my alt but I’ve taken to playing him the most.
Been drawn to Kung Pao since UFGT and picked her up as soon as I got the game. I’m about even on win/loss record, but I love playing with her.
I think it’s unrealistic to try and be competitive in this game while only maining one character. Matchups are so clear-cut that you can tell just from fighting the CPU what character is at advantage or disadvantage. Thus, counterpicking is going to be very important.
I’ve only really been feeling Kick and Mr. N so far, but I’m gonna have to find someone that covers for their weak matchups.
Except for Kenny. That is what is so cool.
