Ghost Rider is the motha fuking Ghost Rider he better have a shut ton of health.
Does Ghost riders mouth fire blast hit low?
No, it does OTG though, but then again so does Heartless Spire, which sounds like it’s far more useful.
So what other properties does heartless spire have?
the only down side to heartless spire is that we can’t combo after. white GR low ground flame or whatever we can.
Nothing else has been confirmed other than it’s OTG properties, the fact it isn’t super cancelable, and that it eats projectiles. Players like NerdJosh have said it puts the opponent in massive blockstun and others have said it has some sort of invincibility. But I don’t think those have been confirmed yet.
You want Ghost Rider footage? You got it!
Part 1: @1:40:07,
Part 2: @0:32:20, 1:42:53
Part 3: @0:13:40, 0:31:42, 0:53:26
Things to note:
-Ghost does OTG Heartless Spire combos w/ assists throughout
-Chain shuriken disintegrates before reaching full screen distance
-As stated before, Ghost’s normals are very unsafe. Dr. Strange punishes several of them in part 1
-Ghost rider can OTG off his airgrab near the corner
-Seth elaborates on j. :s: as hitting the opponent with just the “tip of the chain” will not allow you to hit the ground close enough to combo into :h:, :h:, but It will become very dirty when paired with assists. He also says there are many “interesting possibilities” with SOV hyper.
-Filipino Champ discusses Ghost with Seth, calling him his “favorite character.” Our first Ghost player to watch out for, perhaps?
-At 1:47:50 in Part 2, Ghost does raw :h:,:h:on a crouching Strider. He tries canceling into :dp:+:l: afterwards but it whiffs above him.
-:d:+:h: as the commentators pointed out, is very tricky as it can catch the opponent off gaurd if you’ve just been doing jumping :s: and standing :h: all day.
Far from the last.
I like hearing there is combo possibility after Heartless Spire with the right assist. He keeps sounding better every time new info comes out.
Hell, I can type out some of his combos, now that we know what normals are assigned to which strength!
@1:47:03 in Part 2, the notation is
:h:,:h:,:dp:+:l:,:h:,:h::qcb:+:l:,+:h:+:a1:,:s:, j., j.:s:,:dp:+:atk::atk:
It’s likely you can add another j. during the air combo.
EDIT: Honzo posted 3 things in the UMVC3 general thread that caught my eye:
I still think GR will be the dark horse of UMvC3.
The masses are worried bout the wrong character.
Hell is calling, Albert.
LMAO, the Spirit of Vengeance super will now be known as Hot Wheels.
Yup that would be the combo I used, although it’s not back h+a1, hellfire comes out extremely quick for an otg so you want to input assist first hellfire. Hit stun degredation affects GR quick so MMS on the relaunch is tough sometimes if you are using missles or bolts to aid the zoning.
That combo is about 670 if my guess is correct, so I think there is a way to tack on 30 more points, I have yet to find it though.
GR also has great grab range and back H do well in short range to get people off of him.
Also the aforementioned combo works off sweep, just do down H then SRK L. I didn’t do it because i paniced and went to the air most of the time in GR vs GR matches. Very scrubby day two stuff, I’m sure there is more to the character that will be incoming.
Hot Wheels and Reading Rainbow
the birth of UMVC3 memes
I usually just shake my head at the SF and MvC3 memes that I hear on streams but I was laughing when A Rival and Dacidbro were coming up with those and all the other Dr. Strange book stuff.
That’s it, now I gotta use GR, Strange & Zero on Day 1. JUST for that THC!
the MvC3 memes…of this age…are pretty whack.
Hmm…so far do you guys think Ghost Rider would be best on point or as an anchor? I can see the annoying lockdown already if he has assists backing him up but the fact that he does so much damage just by himself is tempting as well. Maybe as a middleman so one could use his assists for your point character (in my case Dormammu) and still have an assist there to back him up after Wesker/‘Vergin’/Whatever decides to pull off those dumb x-factor 100% combos on the first character?
