“spamming” assists is a bad thing to do, regardless of the character.
You have to play smart with Jean - whether she’s on point or as an assist. :3
So seeing that H Overdrive is the one that goes straight and M goes up(reminds me of rogues 2 P Specials), I wonder if L goes anywhere else. We got quite a few OTGs as well, now I feel like I’m really redundant with the 2 OTG assists my team has XD.
Goood shit, nice to see there are some assist combos in mission mode. Cannot wait to see what the other characters have in store, dante in particular. Hopefully we see some sick dante combos that don’t look like the marn combo.
Yes, you can hit confirm into a snapback starting from a jab.
Shockingly enough, her trials don’t look overly difficult. I was scared that the last trial was gonna be basically a long 2 minute combo that did well over 100% but thats not too bad.
I wish terribly that we could see the damage that came from these combos though. Right now, this entire thread seems to (almost) hinge on whether or not her damage output is worth her stamina.
I might play this game tomorrow…
So what should I test?
Gonna start out with Doom/sent/Phoenix as my first team.
Objectively? Try to find how much damage her bread and butter combos do? Numbers would be nice, but if you can’t, comparing it to how the rest of the cast does (i.e. she hits like a heavy hitter like hulk, she hits like M.O.D.O.K. without any Analyze cubes) or ball parking it to percentages would rock.
Subjectively? Do her projectiles look they can really aid her approach? Is her mix-up really that good? Can she play keepaway at all? Maybe try a couple rounds purposely going for Dark Phoenix Mode and a couple others instead leaning heavily on the Healing Sphere and report your results?
I know I’ve got a lot of questions, so please take these as friendly suggestions and not pretentious command from on high. Don’t mean to be pushy.
I’m thinking of safe ways to tag in Phoenix without burning too much meter. If you’re looking for things to try, can you please test whether or not she can combo out of her TK overdrive assist when used as a Cross-Counter? It seems to throw the enemy away into the air, but I wonder if she can catch them into a combo string before they fall down.
It like you guys admit to not playing Marvel 2 by accident.
Im confused, isn’t spamming assists a bad thing to do?
How she is at Level 3 XF in Dark Phoenix form. If she heals and how her speed and damage are.
Maybe try and drop the opponent in one combo too in that form? and maybe see if you can set up the next tagged in opponent with some crazy trap shenanigans? Try and drop an entire team of 3 with her in that form?
Or how about Sentinel’s 3 mini drone assist in tandem with a teleport behind from Phoenix on point? Could be difficult for an opponent to block.
Don’t pay attention to him.
Using assists randomly, ie; spamming them, won’t get you very far.
Yea that was what i thought, spamming anything is usually a bad idea.
You can use them often. But you have to be able to cover them with your point character too.
Just gotta be wise about it, or maybe lose a character to a beam or full screen dhc.
Yea I picked that much up from watching some marvel 2 vids, watching storms cover psylocke with hail storms.
Spamming and using randomly arent the same thing.
We’ll see how un-spammable the best assists in the game are.
I know your point - but “spamming assists” = using them just for the sake of it, regardless of the situation.
People worried about “assist spamming” are only scrubs anyway. The point was that you can’t just spam Assists with Jean - not only she’s fragile, but while outside of DPh, her assists are pretty meh.
Phoenix - 420,000
Dark Phoenix - 420,000
Values taken from here.
So… she better be pretty damn gdlk.
I didn’t mean spamming Phoenix’s assists… Just that ??? can happen even while attempting to cover her or even when things appear safe. With her low health and the increased damage assists seem to take, it looks like it might not even be worth using her assists. Then again, I guess Phoenix is like going “all in” even when it comes to her assists. I’m guessing Phoenix won’t transform into Dark Phoenix unless she’s in use with 5 bars. It’d be kind of funny for her to transform after being killed for doing an assist.
