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

Good point.
I’m such a moron

It would just result in you getting your assists owned up, anyway.

There’s only one thing I want to do with that team: press :a1:+:a2:, close my eyes and pretend that it’s B.B Hood doing Cruel Hunting and it didn’t cost me 3 meters to do it.

ROCK AND ROLLLLL BANG BANGBANGBANG BANGBANGBANGBANG Jackpot.

I’m predicting that Iron Fist and RR are going to be best friends in Ultimate. One of IF’s biggest problems is his inability to keep out air approaches, and the log trap is possibly the best possible assist for that. He still has trouble getting in on zoning characters, but I can find another assist to help with that.

The problem isn’t that IF can do better than Rocket, but that Rocket can do better than IF.

If we’re talking theoretical combinations with Rocket then I really think that Rocket with an assist like Dante’s Jam Session or Dormmamu’s Purification will work extremely well with things that Pendulum isn’t going to be able to him. There’s also, of course, Doom’s Hidden Missiles which compliments basically anyone’s game either offensively or defensively.

One of the defensive oriented teams I was thinking of was something like Rocket / Doom / Dormmamu or Rocket / Chris / Doom. Maybe even Rocket / Ammy / Doom.

Sorry, Chris already claimed Rocket to be his accountabilibuddy. Fisty is gonna have to look elsewhere.

did you guys see the RR figure that just came out…i was so tempted to buy it

idk man… doom loves little furry critters with attitudes.

Doom’s got the hots for Strider and you know it.

Then problem is not that he can’t “keep out” air approaches, but that he can’t combo them. Log Tap won’t help, because it causes a wallbounce. That means he won’t be able to crumple, launch, OR wallbounce.
It would probably be one of the worst space control assists for IF.

Really the ONLY assist that would let him combo airborne enemies is Spencer’s grapple.

Rocky-b/Ammy-b/Doom-b
Team Critters of Doom. Count on it.

And yay we have our own forum! =D

I wonder how Rocket will Do With Viewtiful Joe & Vergil. I can’t Wait To abuse Slow-Mo with Rocket!

Rocky mirror matches will be filled with all sorts of shenanigans, especially with Burrow H. I can’t wait to see what sort of stuff people come up with in the mirror match.
I think the two assists that will really help Rocky play lame are Jam Session and Disruptah.

since he can set up his own mixups

how you feel about him being anchor

I think I’ll play him as an anchor. Like you said, he can set mixups by himself and pretty much can handle it

Who you guys think will do better with Racoon’s pendulum assist?

Added Rocket’s alternate colors to the opening post.

…And I see we have our own forum now. Very nice.

Heres to hoping RR has some sort of spammable technique that utilizes his mobility and ability to lay traps at the same time. Cant he cancel rocket skates out of gunshot and rocket skates cancels into specials?

Hey guys, I know it’s pretty close to release anyway but I’ve managed to grab some promo copies of the game for a pre-launch event that we’re doing here in Melbourne this weekend. Myself and the http://www.shadowloo.com guys will be playing around with the game tonight and I’m going to be mostly messing with Nemesis and Rocket Raccoon so if there’s anything that you guys want me to test please let me know in the next couple of hours so I can test and get back to you all. I’m not the best player but so long as it’s not anything super fancy I should be able to swing it.

Cheers,
Loki
