I can't control it! - The Phoenix Thread

[RogueSquadron]

Yup I noticed this too, I guess it’s just a special thing with her, and much needed.

I hope y’all realize what I haven talking about in the thread now. Touched from anywhere and you die. She simply cannot be point, and from the looks of how she gets a bar for exchange it’s even more reason too not have her point but last.

I suggested that even before I knew about the whole bar for exchange( why don’t people listen to me )

She can do Damage on point but if she doesn’t do serious damage or kill a character from jump your screwed and no dhp for you. It looked like dho has a tad bit more stam, but it could be my imagination.

So yeah like I said it’s beat to focus on getting dph out. While having a strong Phoenix as well.

Edit: also I want to say again that healing is useless as Phoenix and and only useful to keep dph alive and possible get another transformation (if possible) down the line.

I hate to say but looking at the newest gameplay vids you might have to be very dedicated to use because anybody with medium or high damage such as Sent 2 attacks and your dead. I agree on the healing being useless now because she’s not even gonna be around long enough, DPh still looks useful but I don’t see her being useful point ever, if I do decide to stick with her I’m using as my 2nd character hopefully my 1st character has built up enough meter for her.

EDIT: One thing that was brought up in IRC that nobody talks about: Every time you successfully use an air tag/exchange combo, you AUTOMATICALLY advance to the next level of super meter. So if you have 2 bars of super meter and hit an air exchange, then you automatically go to three bars.

I noticed that too, but it looked more like the tag gives you about 60% bar, and then ejecting them to the floor gives 40%, or something like that.

Yeah, unless it does something we’re not aware of, its sole use seems to be extending Dark Phoenix’s lifebar.

Seth Killian said we still haven’t seen that makes Dark Phoenix crazy, and I’m excited to find out after seeing that last video. Some people freak out and assume she’ll be trash, but I just wonder what amazing things she can do that make that health total necessary for balance.

[Leed]

Not only that, but I think I see myself sacraficing a meter just to snapback that redhead in early so I can get rid of her while she’s no where near max meter. Just something to think about.

I told you guys she was gonna get snapbacked and punished. One ground combo and she’s dead.

Yea that’s how I feel right now hahaha. I’d originally think the extreme damage would discourage me, but now I’m more intrigued. :lol:

Dunno if this was discussed but…

HSF fucks her over

[Glareman]

So what Level 3 X Factor Thor is going to be able to kill her in how many jabs? 1, maybe even 2?

Most of the supers in this game look like they’ll mess her up pretty bad, even just with chip.

Everything that hits her fucks her over, did u see that Ryu combo? Phoenix had full energy and one combo took her completely out, not good :sad:

I say one X-Factor Thor and one mighty smash and she’s dead lol

[Glareman]

I just want to see Level 3 X-Factor Thor hit her with a jab and take like 90 percent, shit is going to look hilarious.

Hey guys, have you noticed how fast Dark Phoenix recovers her red health when she’s not on point?

In this video starting at 1:46 : [media=youtube]z7OA2Ik7qQc#[/media]

Notice how fast she dies when a character gets a hold of her? She NEEDS that healing.

[obertor]

And she needs the healing sphere activated as much as possible

[Souchan]

And she needs the healing sphere activated as much as possible

Which always makes me wanna faepalm in the vids when we see regular phoenix spamming healing spheres with full health and dark never doing it -.-

[WillHado4Food]

After seeing how ridiculously low her health is, I’m more excited then ever to try her out. The only thing that scares me about her is chip damage. Imagine what the chip damage on Storm’s Hail Storm or Dormammu’s Floating Bomb will do to her. Not really looking forward to blocking perfectly only to eventually get cheesed out by Dormammu Floating Bomb, KFC, Floating Bomb. Also, why does Dark Phoenix’s life deplete? She is so weak health-wise that one simple combo will kill her at full health regardless. Is the constant health depletion really needed? Anyways, still looking to main her.

[Bronzefist]

Yeah I think beam supers and ice storm will be the death or her on block. The worst thing about them is that even if she has healing field going, she won’t get the benefit from it since the opponent will typically be outside of the bubble.

Besides the fact she’s basically a 4th health bar and can kick the utter crap out of whoever is in front of her?

The problem isn’t DPh, it’s the fact that normal Jean has such ATROCIOUS health. Give her Zero health, or Chun health. What she got was uncalled for and makes her even more (play perfect or you’re gonna die) than Strider was in MvC2. She better find herself her own Clockw0rk.

I think the health depletion will become clear once we start seeing all that dark can do.

[Negative-Zer0]

She is so free on hit confirm. It’s like ryu didn’t even have to try. Instead of doing a Mahvel combo, he did a combo that you can probably do in most street fighter games, and that shit was 100%.

You have to be VERY precise and have much experience with Phoenix. I am also convinced that she should NEVER be played on point first. She would have to have a battery character first.

[xShonuffx]

Honestly…I am anxious to see what you guys cook up in the labs to keep this glass cannon from getting KO’d in the first 10 seconds.

Very anxious.
