Great hitbox on it to cross-up the opponent after jumping.

[*]VOOMERANG - QCF+A
Joe’s primary ranged projectile.
A - Thrown straight across. When charged fully, it will go past the opponent and hit them again coming back.
B - Thrown about half-screen distance, then flies upward. When charged fully, it will come back down and hit.
C - Thrown right above, then flies backward. When charged fully, it will come back from behind and hit opponent.[/list]
[list][*]SHOCKING PINK (BOMB TOSS) - QCB+A
The first input will lay a bomb. Holding command down kicks the bomb forward. Can hit Joe if it explodes near him, where the enemy is free to combo you.

Can do up to 3 times in the air.
A - Goes straight down. Overhead.

Supers
[LIST]
[*]VIEWTIFUL GOD HAND - HCB+2A
Speed debuff on hit. If the debuffed character switches out, their assist will be considerably slowed, and when the character switches back in, debuff will still be in effect.
The debuff also affects combos, such as the character falling slower in the air, allowing you to combo attacks such as Red Hot Kick.
The standing/crouching animation of the character will also be slowed, making it harder to block overheads.

Dormammu seems like the new Blackheart, and I’m guessing Spider-Man’s voice or post-game taunts aren’t finished yet.
I wonder if Viewtiful Joe’s hitbox will play a factor in the opponent’s combos again. I personally didn’t like how they did Joe’s supers in TvC, I was excpecting more time meter supers that slowed the enemy down or sped up Joe.
In TvC the only advantage that Joe had was that his small size caused him to get dropped in a couple of combos; very few combos, it wasn’t much of an advantage. He had slightly lower stamina than other characters because of it, which was kind of pointless.
I hope they improve his supers and bombs while buffing his mobility and range. They also need to make it so that he can do two Red Hot Kicks in the air again.
If he had a slightly better damage output than what he has in TVC (done by improving his supers since he can combo to and from them) then he would be a respectable character.
He is a respectable rushdown character. I hope voomerang provides more cover in this game and red hoy kick becomes better. I think a slow down bullet time super would rock
Nah the best thing they can do with that is make Mach speed a Genei-jin type move. He is a solid rushdown character though just some damage buffs in any shape or form would work in his favor.
Joe is just too awesome, I suppose they would keep his v-bombs that might explode on him so that would be two characters(along with Chris) that have a move that can backfire on them.
I just hope the implement his slowing down and speeding up time thing much better in this game. Looking forward to some gameplay videos and hopefully some surprise character announcement because despite being very happy that joe and dormammu were announced we kinda knew they were both in it for over a month now.
