something i noticed in one of the videos he gets some life back based on the red damage he has when he levels up
Huh. Are you sure? That sounds great if so.
metrokard is correct, and is not the only one to have noticed it. You can see it in a few other videos as well. It’s only a small amount, but it’s nice. It’s possible the correct explanation is his Max Health is increasing, and his Current Health is immediately raised in proportion with it, but that’s an odd way to convey that information to the player if so.
On a topic jump, I’m building a Frank/?/Amaterasu team. Amaterasu provides Cold Star assist for extending combos off the Camera OTG, or so I hope. The “?” in slot 2 is ideally a character who can provide cover fire for Frank. I’ve been considering Dr. Strange, Dr. Doom, Taskmaster, Trish, Chris, and Arthur for this purpose. All of them have a ranged assist that reaches full screen, and should be easy to DHC into from Frank. I’m having trouble picking between them, however. Doom is the ‘obvious choice’, but I worry about playing the same character everyone else does because I feel it might make me more predictable.
I do not recall reading when someone questioned how I knew what I know, but seeing how this is the first time I’ve seen the question plainly stated: All my knowledge comes from dabbling with a build that had Frank West available. Things are still subject to change, as always.
And when I say level 5, I mean the level he gains from PP. Not level 5 like Pheonix. Just in case there was some derp floating around.
Okay, two big questions. They may have been answered, I didn’t notice.
- Does it take 50 total PP to get to level 4, or 50 MORE after getting to level 3?
- If he does something like 25 hit combo into OTG camera, then combo off of the camera with the assist (Assuming this is possible), and hit another camera. Does he just get points for the number of hits after the last camera, or does he get another 25 + however many hits the assist does?
Seth has mentioned now in a few of the videos that Frank’s maximum level is 4. So if it was 5 before, it is no longer the case.
Seth gets a lot of things wrong, though. You can’t really take what he says as completely true unless he shows it.
Yeah, I guess you’re right. Still, I’ve personally not seen ANYthing past Lv4 for frank, pics or otherwise. I figured Seth was just telling it like it is. I will admit, though, its funny to constantly hear him call frank’s AA grab hyper his level 3, even though it clearly only uses one bar.
yes this is def. something i was curious about as well. It looked like it was 30 some points from lvl 3-4 when i was pseudo keepign track but it may have required less actual combo points.
One of Frank West’s victory quotes is “What do you mean I don’t belong here? I’ve covered wars, y’know.”
Best. Thing. Ever.
Whaaaaaaaaat, yeeeeeeeeeees
Oh god I want the Otis one forever
I never meant any offense by it. I was simply looking for clarity Thanks 
A big part of my interest in Franks level 5 is because I am clutching at strings, hoping that the Real Mega Buster is an unveiled hyper. With all the talk of level five, the possibility is there.
Seth has made mistakes before and misstated various aspects of a character, and hyper combos have been left out of reveal trailers.
sits in corner, rocks back and forth until the Frank West ‘Assist Me’ video
about the level 4/level 5 thing, I didn’t play much DR, but the weapons he has at level 4 are about the top you can get to, aren’t they? That would imply no lvl 5.
(Which I believe is a myth anyways :p)
Shuma/Frank maybe a new best buddies combo.
Shuma’s Mystic Stare Eyeballs become permanently locked on an opponent if he is switched out, This will allow Frank to snap free photos on the tag in. If the opponent tries to get near Frank and they don’t guard the eyeball explosion it’s a free 8 -10 hit combo. Frank snaps on that for a major level up.
Each camera shot in the combo adds the full amount of hits + original camera shot PP to his PP amount. It doesn’t reset the PP gain if you do more than one in a combo. (Or so I hear.)
So multiple snapshots in a single combo only reward pp based on the last snapshot you made in a combo, right? I.e. a 20-hit combo with otg camera gives 21pp. Continuing with an assist pickup after otg into another bnb for a 41-hit combo will only reward 21 more pp on camera otg and not 42?
do you think you can camera shot after the shopping cart special…it looks like you can follow up after the wall bounce.
After looking at a lot of Frank stuff, I am definitely hyped to try him out! I love his playstyle with the leveling up feature with picture taking. That dodge roll he gets at Level 2 looks really quick too and might have a lot of invincibility frames. Any thoughts?
