But would poison arrow be better? I know ice keeps them in place easier but the poison would do more damage right? I mean their health would be draining because they wouldn’t be able to hit Hawkeye if they are getting combo’d
True, but Im not 100 percent sure its possible to relaunch after a poison arrow. Its only possible after the ice cause it keeps em in place and it causes a ground bounce.
Hmm…so if someone can find a way to get that poison to work in a relaunch combo maybe with the help of a assist that would likely be the way to go.
I know one thing for sure: I doing OTG poison arrow then snapping then phoenix so at least I get full poison damage on that character because 90% of Phoenix players ain’t no way they are calling an assist and risk getting happy birthday’d plus you can’t switch during assist and if they DHC they waste meter.
If Hawkeye gets any hit on Phoenix I am also setting up poison arrow immediately considering how much damage it would do. I see so many ways Clint is a problem for her.
Yea you could prolly do it with the old akuma tatsu. Or you could go for a regualr relaunch into otg poison arrow gimlet then dhc into w/e hyper you want. That way you get the full damage since the opponent has to hit hawkeye(or at least I think he does) to stop the poison. I don’t really understand your phoenix set-ups though, why are you going for a poison hit on phoenix when you can just kill her in a combo anyway?
Just in case something unforeseen happens like a random assist or something guaranteed damage my friend. Plus with the nerf to her health why not just magic series into poison arrow OTG that’ll likely kill her anyway. Especially because I believe the poison eats some red life to so if by some miracle she survives the combo I still have wasted no meter and can gimlet to finish her but most likely Doom missiles will hit her after poison arrow and she’ll die.
I’m pretty good at timing Doom missiles because I had to learn to be to effective play Cap,Pool,Doom in vanilla MVC3. If I get one poison arrow in she’s screwed because even if she makes it to Dark phoenix she’ll have like no health andcan hit her immediately with gimlet X-factor into gimlet.
I’m going to start calling Gimlet “Goldenshower” btw…
in the ultimate norcal vs capcom tournament seth killian mentioned that the only way to get rid of the poison status is by tagging out but the status ends at around 150k damage anyway so it’s like extra damage rather than an annoying status effect that sticks around. is there any footage of poison status it self killing someone?
If tagging out stops it how do assist get poisoned or do they not anymore?
He said the best way to stop it is to hit Hawkeye. He said tagging out will make your assist regain their life but I don’t remember him saying that it removes the poison though
I don’t think it removes the poison, he mentioned your assists could get poisoned but they didn’t lose health(nor stop regaining health), they would just come in with the status on. But hey why are we arguing when max is willing to answer our questions. Might as well toss that question in the pile as well.
Does the Gimlet interact with other projectiles? If not then Phoenix is going to have to be extra careful throwing out air fireballs.
What do you mean? It’s looks sorta like it has beam super properties. Like if Taskmaster fired Legion Arrows, Gimlet would gimlet/pierce right throw them and hit him.
Yeah, that’s what I meant. If it acts like a beam hyper, it would go through most projectiles, but I didn’t know if that was the case or not.
I think the name speaks for itself. “To pierce”, it’ll pierce through most things, and it looks like it activates in under 10 frames, I saw it punish a wesker samurai edge super jump shot, while Clint was on the ground. That MIGHT help be an anchor, just a few well timed Gimlets with xfcs or whatever and you have you’re opponent afraid to press buttons. But it’s too early to say as usual.
Thats why I said earlier that Clint will be major problems for jean. She can’t really shoot fireballs because Golden Shower will take like half her already nerfed health.
She would have to either teleport close immediately or take another huge risk.
She can’t really shoot fireballs because then she floats down and can’t do anything.
This is funny… Phoenix vs Clint should be 10-0 Clint… She only has one air action now and gimlet should be able to punish everything she has on reaction.
gimlet can be nullified by projectiles, it has durability like any other projectile
Hmmm This I did Not know… am I wrong or is it still fast enough to punish her before she gets the TK shot out… I mean the only one she generally uses has horrid start up.
It should be fast enough to punish her, but the damage is ass and phoenix has a lot more tools than just jump back air fireball so I wouldn’t go claiming phoenix slayer just yet.
Book of Vishanti would be better for that anyways.
