Just saw the extended intro. Looks like Jean’s gotten some pretty impressive… well… assets.
This is a pretty ignorant statement.
I think he just means the assist itself, as it won’t. Ofcourse just tossing it out empty is begging for a hyper and anyone will be covering the hell out of such an assist and pressuring with the point instead.
I just hope I can build some good synergy with Wesker/Phoenix/X23, they all seem like a lot of fun to play(important with all those 100% KFCs out there O.o), now just hope they gel. Can’t wait to get Jean into the training room and see if it yet might be possible to have her go point 
I’m sure there is something about Jean that demands the incredibily bad health. I’m sure come launch and later down the line we’ll be thanking Capcom she can go down in one combo.
…at least, I hope so.
Instead of saying something is ignorant. How about providing examples on which a meter building assist would be great(Come on. game isn’t even out let). About pressure, I just meant making your opponent block or trying to open him/her up. Having a assist like that I would think the on point character, the player would have to be great at using. Cause he/she gets taken out, you’ll just have the meter building assist character and Phoenix. If Phoenix comes out with a assist at the wrong time. She could die or lose a ton of health. Then it’ll be a uphill battle.
You could run away and use the meter building assist but I’m not sure it’ll be effective against advanced players. Then again who knows, we’ll see in a few weeks.
It was awe inspiring.
We all know how Capcom has manipulated the game asthetics in their gameplay vidoes (i.e. starting some characters at Level 5 hyper) basically just to show off certain gameplay mechanics of that character…
So what are the chances that they just manipulated Phoenix’s stamina bar to show off her transformation into Dark Phoenix much quicker?
Dying from 1 single standard A-B-C -> Special -> Hyper combo is a little too much.
I mean… Servbot from MvC2 had better stamina (I think).
Someone who was streaming the game picked Phoenix and went through all her assists.
Assist A: TK Shot /Shot/ Forward
Assist B: TK Overdrive /Direct/ Forward
Assist Y: TK Trap /Shot/ Up-Forward
No chance at all, since we just saw a live stream of the full game today, and Phoenix died in a few hits again.
See this is what I been thinking about as well. I can’t decide if we should really build a team around Phoenix, or find a two person team that works really well together,and throw Phoenix in the last spot. In DPh she looks to have damn near every tool a character needs, and while certain assists will definitely be more beneficial to her than others I often question whether any specific assist will be absolutely necessary for her.
I think alot of us are getting caught up in the idea of keeping her alive, when perhaps we should be more concerned about keeping her teammates alive. They’re the ones building that meter for DPh, so it would royally suck to have them get bodied because their synergy sucks.
Hmmm indeed a core 2 man team… Here’s hoping Wesker and X23 gel together well, maybe I might be selecting both their low assists afterall, though it still feels like stacking the deck to far in one direction.
While Wesker on point with the low assist makes lots of sense, I might have to use a different one to assist X23 to allow her to get in better as she lacks teleporting. If Wesker dies to a KFC though I might be in a tough spot with only X and Jean, so here’s hoping X is a strong solo till I can bring Jean in.
Do we have any details on her trap? Assist and/or regular? Man it’s getting so close I can’t wait
Dayum, Phoenix got FUCKED up in that stream.

Just dropping that off here.
EDIT: Beated to it. ^
Did you guys see how much it took to wipe out Phoenix of the match? One C into Gamma Crush.
Ok, I’m definitely not scared of her anymore… o_O
O you will be. You will be.
(you know once people that are good at using her and minimizing risk and drive you bonkers show up. Hopefully I’ll eventually be one of them ^^)
It’s funny how that is the only thing you posted. Can you please at least try to contribute to the thread?
Anyways Phoenix’s ground dash is fast and she recovers quickly from attacks. We still don’t know how her command normals are like. Dormammu was able to get suffer and a fire trap for his normals. So, she must have some good command normals, since Capcom said they spent a lot of their time balancing out the characters. For all we know she could have some telekinetic grab that wall bounces.
It seems like people whine about Phoenix because they are not good enough to use her. Seriously, if you have nothing to contribute to this thread, then just move on.
While I don’t think she will be bottom tier, I cannot see her being top tier with that hp, no matter how good her tools are eventually your opponent will get lucky and as that video showed, they only have to guess right once in some cases and its all over, I keep getting seth flashbacks. Although if her healing field increases her defense from physical attacks then I will take back all I said.
Not good enough, because her health is so atrocious, NOTHING could balance it. Not even Resurrection.
Hope you guys got good insurance because if someone even looks at Jean, she’ll probably snap in two.
I’m sorry, but Hulk said “BITCH WHAT!!!” Chick got Hulk smashed…literally. Smh.
Not to mention, she HAS to be a virgin. She couldn’t take a thrust without dying.
