I can't control it! - The Phoenix Thread

Her bnb is Gain 5 Bars into Die into DP

Yes, all projectiles. Including Doom rocks, black holes, and sentinel drones. Just requires spacing because you don’t want to end the dash inside a projectile.

idk about BnB per say but its just going to be stuff like: combo into launch, combo into bounce, combo into relaunch, combo into stuff.

Also, just so people know… you might not really need to focus on a “battery team” per say. In MvC3… the true way to build meter is air combo/tags in… I don’t know the true name for it. Watch a video where players tag in their characters in mid air combo and LOOK AT THEIR BAR. There’s a reason why you can switch out in the air to keep a combo… yeah it does less damage… but you can get 3 1/2 bars in the first 5 seconds of a round.

Get 4 1/2 to 5 bars and then you’re safe to throw in phoenix and put forth as much pressure as you can.

I didn’t notice any changes, other than you gain back the same amount as you would as normal Phoenix. So its safe to say that the “poison” effect doesn’t really effect healing sphere as Dark Phoenix. Also, X-factored Dark Phoenix with healing sphere is horrific.

Sigh. I love you guys. :slight_smile:

All of these are true, further strengthening my point. Assuming you are taking on opponents who know their character well enough, they can just as soon kill Sentinel off 2 openings as kill Phoenix/DPh.

Just because…

Her win quotes makes “It cant control it” illogical. Since she talks about Phoenix in 3rd person in her winquote.

So I guess some of you heard wrong.

I had to cut it to 4 hits because of the 10 secs time to record haha .But yeah dmg goes up to 1400+ if i do a L tk right after xfc

What do you mean by “tk”?

Does anybody else start giggling when they see this thread in the thread listing?

Sticky: I can’t control it!

Damn, I need to get my mind outta the gutta.

Don’t know if this was posted but can you say complete lockdown with Dark Phoenix-New Strider?

She does builds meter really fast - and her combos are very damaging. That’s all we need to know.

Thanks for sharing. <3

Lockdown isn’t very difficult when the CPU’s strategy = walk forward and spaz with an occasional attack every now and then. Maybe she can do something similar in real play, but this isn’t the greatest evidence of it.

I’m trying to catch up on this thread after not reading for a day or so lol.

Are you guys exploring her flight and air dash in her combos? I can’t see if Alioune (nice vids) was using them in his vids. However I see a few Magneto vids where he his using flight and his down/forward air dash to land quickly for a relaunch. I was wondering if that stuff would be possible with Phoenix as well.

Just saying from now when you guys go dark phoenix dante can and will teleport behind you in the air… press S, Otg Down-forward C into stinger and cancel into million dollars…

Oh, to explain the air tagging system and how you gain bar according to the instruction booklet.

Up+S does the most damage
forward+S does less damage
down+S gets you one bar

So basically you’re going to end air combos with down+S all day, and people will probably look for this and press that to counter if they’re thinking about it.

Her teleports are faster than him’s in DPh, I assume. Not of a big issue.

Or just spam the punch that fires the three mini fireballs.

Well, she can’t airdash cancel her normals, but she does indeed have fly combos.

So which ones determine which character you want to tag in? Shouldn’t there be a back+S
Also forward+S gives you damage + meter. So you could mix it up between down+S and forward+S if down+S becomes too predictable.

Destroying Planets one Wal-mart a time

Just a favor for a fellow Jean lover, could someone post her normals? If I’m not mistaken Jean has command normals.

Been messing around with her in the lab. With her teleport and the damage she does in Dark Phoenix mode, I’m inclined to say Jean seems a lot more viable than I originally gave her credit. She is LITERALLY the touch of death as Dark Phoenix. I’m not even proficient with her and like ABC xx Anything is insta-death (at least to Dr. Doom) while in X-Factor lvl 3. If someone figures out this character, it’s going to be really scary…especially since that lvl 1 Hyper does tons of damage.

Just pop DPh, set out a set of homing fireballs, port for mixup, land a hit, and the character is GONE.

(If anyone’s wondering, using her with Wesker/Morrigan/Phoenix. Wesker is a strong enough point character that he doesn’t really need to spend meter for big damage and he has good tools to stand alone for a while until you can get level 5 with Morrigan/Jean)

I have a feeling that Phoenix can maul sentinel right if she can get in without getting chipped to death
