He's in the trees! And he's flarking mad! - The Rocket Raccoon Thread

I would qualify Firebrand/RR more of a “legit” team than a “troll” team.

IMO it cant be a troll team if all the characters are really good.

That’s what this series is for after all.

The point remains, RP English is not the British accent. It’s upper/middle class Southern English.

I’m decided on 2 teams in my head. I 'm thinking RR, Dorm(dark hole or pillar), Doom(Missiles, or beam). It looks like RR controls space pretty well so I might go with doom rocks because its slow and could create some sick mixups with his burrow. But if I don’t like RR as a point character I’m liking the Idea of Chris, RR(log) Doom(missiles.) RR seems to make up for ALL of chris’s weaknesses with his assist that covers vertical space. I’m pretty pumped

Depends on you definition of a troll team i guess. To me it’s more, this team makes me so mad, i want to throw my controller/arcade stick through my t.v and huck my xbox 360/ps3 on the front lawn and take a sledge hammer to it.

Came here for Log reference, leaving dissapointed. So I will make it…

All I can say is that I have been absent but holy shit. My new main. Thank ye comic gods!

A lot of legit teams make you want to do this too because of how good they are. I think a troll team is more annoying than it is good.

I literally watched that like 20 times back to back. I’m wondering if Frank he’ll have similar things with other RE characters, or how Frank will interact with them.

Log trap doesn’t hit at all at super jump height, or at most of ground height (although that varies based on how tall the target is). It looks to be really good anti-jumpin, but it’s no lariat.

Mostly I said troll team because really, how are certain characters gonna land a hit on these two, especially together. Which would be rage inducing and therefore troll-y.

God I hope Wesker and Frank have lines together. I don’t care what the Dead Rising continuity says, if UMvC3 reveals Wesker was behind THEIR zombies too I will never stop grinning for the glorious bastard.

Even though the log doesn’t hit super-jumping or flying height… Works well as an anti-airdash move, with the blocking nerf now.

i ve never heard about RR before UMVC3, but… he doesnt have ANYTHING that looks like “alien weaponry”, im absolutly desapointed about the looks of his moveset, not saying he sucks, just that i was expecting something less… jungle survivor. i cant imagine in outerspace a guy fighting with log or nets or bear traps

Nah, in the comics one of the reasons Rocket was added to his team was because he didn’t use a lot of alien weaponry and they needed guys who could get the job done with low tech weaponry, so it’s pretty accurate. Besides, you got Nova for all your spaceman needs!

besides my comment, i really really like RR, and i did not like the “suicidal” style of Nova, i will stick with my zero and try to put RR and iron fist on my team

Release tourney coming up, log assist is gonna win me the whole goddamned thing. You watch. I will use DIRTY TRICKS to win.

Gotta say I didn’t think much of dude when he was announced, but he looks like fun.

Relax bro, his normals are CLEARLY not as good as dat Magnus. Besides, we have no idea how fast he can attack from rocket skates, I’m thinking he probably won’t be able to overhead if he uses that for a tri dash, at least based on that footage. But we’ll see. For now I’m just going to use dirty tricks to snag a free copy.

I have to say that Chris’ zoning looks like childs play in comparison to RR’s. Higher damage output is about the only thing Chris does “better”.

Sorry if posted already, it isn’t much.

He’s also a bit stronger, so he doesn’t die as fast as RR (which is really fast)

in one of the gameplay videos, there’s an exchange like this:

  1. Rocket Kills Vergil
  2. Lays deadfall trap
  3. Tags IF in
  4. Frank comes in, triggering trap.

Unless the timing was absolutely perfect, his traps do stay if he tags out.

**anybody else think it’s weird that all we’ve seen after a launcher from rocket racoon is m -> s lol (yeah it goes into bear trap -> log trap which is tight but still i think it’s weird)

does he like not have regular attacks or something? not complaining, but i think it’s weird shrug**
