I can't control it! - The Phoenix Thread

that probalby won’t be an option for THC, remember you can’t control which one you do in THC, its determined by your assist.

Probably just going to be her fire dashy hyper… Can’t see them using any THC only hypers in this game.

I know. But will be on one of her assists. Just wondering which one. And wondering what her assists will be.

IF the assist it is mapped to is good, then viable option.

This chick makes Akuma look like an Adamantium Punching Bag, she’s so fragile. And that G4 vid, did my eyes decieve me or does she literally start with level 5 Max Meter because thats fucked up.

I agree she is either gonna be really good or completly trash due to her health. I also don’t see no reason why you can’t KFC (dumb name) into Healing Field but keep in mind that she heals only red health so it won’t do her much good if she has none, I don’t know what people are so worried about. And even if she takes damage with the healing on she loses some red bar with consecutive hits. I think she is balanced enough.

starting with 5 bars would be TOO good. People would be picking her without giving a damn about phoenix OR dark phoenix, they’d just want an extra 4 bars for their other two characters right off the bat.

If she starts with 5 bars on point, that instantly makes her the best character in the game. Luckily, capcom has SOME semblance of sanity, so that’s not going to happen.

I don’t think she really starts off with 5 bars. That would be insane. They probably set that player’s bars to five at the start of the match in that video.

Starting with five is good for her they will not take it out unless they increase her health!

Phoenix had 5 Zero had 1

AN handicap probably. Wanted to show off Dark Phoenix more so. A lot of unanswered ? about her till now.

No shit, sherlock. That’s why I said they set “that player’s” bars to five. I highly doubt she would really start with 5 bars in the final build.

Just look at Phoenix’s reveal trailer, she starts with one bar. It was definitely a special configuration to show off Dark Phoenix.

My bad I didn’t see “that” calm down its the internet

I lol’d.

Also, do her normals do chip damage in Dark Phoenix mode?

looks like the little firethingies she shoots do.

I knew Phoenix would be a glass cannon after lupinko said she’d have Seth-health, but holy shit she redefines the meaning of “fragile”. I mean, Zero looked like he had Sentinel’s damage output in that video!

Oh my god, YES!

Things to consider

-Phoenix HAS to start, if she gets 5 bars for starting thats huge… Basically if you want to play as DP your sitting on those 5 bars unless Phoenix kills a member otherwise she’s a instant battery for certain characters and teams.

-If Phoenix is killed as a assist character and the character on point has five bars will she change to DP if so, will she give that knock back that she does on point after her transformation?

-Is it worth risking using healing to keep phoenix in game? The only way I can see this viable is if it recovers past red life.

  • Timer on DP, I think I heard seth mention you only have a certain amount of time as DP, does that mean once the timer is up you revert or does it mean you die?

-If you revert do you keep the red, and can you tag out to get the health back

Starting with 5 bars

It’s only for this demo so they don’t have to waste time building meter. Watch the next match with Haggar, he also starts with 5 bars.

Let’s just put that to rest here and now. Phoenix does NOT start a match with 5 bars.
That would have been one of the first things that Seth would say, anyway.

If she did have 5 bars (which would be dumb) she would be on EVERY finals team

What if Assist DP’s health still drains? Or at least stand still

Actually she switches out For Hagger but yeah your right. I forgot that the other vids had her at level 1 or 0 or whatever. The reasin I thought was because most of the builds did’nt have options like that but perhaps that was the pre final build with some options.

She still takes bitch damage though.

yea imagine how broke she would be if she started with 5 bars. You guys are focusing on Dark Phoenix too much. Fuck that. She’d have five bars worth of healing super, not to mention DHCs, snapbacks and variable counters.
