We still don’t know that 100% Remember the pixel rage?
Well according to that article someone mentioned she just changes back if she drains herself to 0 health, and in the trailer ( it looked like ) she was at 0 health and didn’t spazz out and die.
Phoenix alone doesn’t seem that good to justify THAT low of health, Hulk would kill her in one air combo and I’m pretty sure one launcher E combo from almost anyone will killer her…
So no I couldn’t rule out that if she starts, that she would provide 5 bars…
Strider doom is really good, but the fact that he can die in 2 combo’s really really hurt him. Phoenix will prob fall in the same boat if not worst. I think she’ll be a savage in the right hands but for most of us… not so much
She COULD start with 5 bars but there is no reason to assume she does. MODOK can block guys remember, lets not have that kind of argument again.
Zero hit her like Thor hits a regular character >.>
We’ll see if it’s worth it when we get more footage/hands on time with her though, she’d have to be spectacular at everything in order to compensate for that though. With the way damage is, any of the characters who can do high damage or any of the characters who can pull off really long combos will be killing her with one touch…
It’s sort of amusing because a lot of people seemed to complain about S/SF4’s Seth being too extreme in the way he either perfects you or loses horribly because of his health and the tools he had to compensate for that health, and Phoenix is basically the same thing on crack by all appearances.
Should be extremely fun.
That’s not an entirely accurate comparison, since it’s something we actually are seeing, and something rather unique so far with the gameplay trailers.
The 5bar thing they won’t allow for other reasons, messes up too much else in the game balance (like messes up the balance of ALL the characters).
Calling it now, just not gonna happen.
Guys she does NOT start with 5 bars. Look at her reveal trailer. She starts a match on point against Chun and she only has 1 bar.

^That.^
Not to mention they’re probably just in training mode with life regen turned off, hence the instant match restart without the “You Win” screen.
^^Those
5 bars would be uber troglodyte. Even WITH that health
Has it been said whether or not she can use phoenix field while in DPh form?
nah, much like the other powerups in the game, i’m betting tagging out DPh yields the same results. tag her out, then her health depletes like normal until one pixel is left, then she tranforms back to regular phoenix off screen. if she’s tagged back in as regular phoenix, she has no life.
I guess the question then would be whether the red health healing of assist characters and the Dark Phoenix health drain offset each other, or whether one dominates the other. You can then go one step further and factor in X-Factor faster healing rate, too. So many questions.
I’m sure the balance isn’t completely final. I’m hoping for a hp buff before release.
i wonder how hard it’ll be to differentiate the 4 dark phoenix’s apart what with all the HOT FIYAH on screen
When Phoenix dies she says “Scott…”. Jus saying.
Anyways DP + level 3 x factor = 30+ seconds of pissing off your opponent and that my friends = priceless.
thats a good point
Phoenix should not get a health boost. Fine, all her abilities with higher health will make her too strong imo.She is already capable with the tools she has and all.
I think she should have at least Storm lvl health.
How do you know lol? Thats an extreme claim considering we have exactly two videos of her. We don’t don’t how good or bad she is at all really. Arguing the validity of a nerf/buff at this point is pointless.
No, just if she gets more health, extends her resurrection hyper which would result in it getting nerfed. So that is all.
And she has trijumps, teleport, fast, has good projectiles, resurrection, able to build battery, can heal herself with a hyper. In terms of most characters, she has more tools than some characters. People aren’t yelling buff them yet. If ends up not being viable sure give a patch that gives her and whoever else is not viable a buff.
