[media=youtube]XQzZw0x4mUQ[/media] finally got some recorded matches. watch the first 8 minutes, 41:30, and 1:02:00 for my best matches.
Very very impressive play, i get really emotional when i see other people play GR:lol: Your combos are very practical, high damaging and overall you got these 2 great assist to back you up any time. So i noticed at 26:02, you could EASILY kill them both, like :h:,:h:, :s:, J. J. ,:s: (you got 2 meters) - Spirit of Vengeance and call Doctor Doom but Dante got out of there dunno why… Oh and at 26:12 i literally just face palmedo_O why didn’t you killed that BITCH!! Hellfire, H. Maelstrom and your good to go. I assume you tried to save some meter, but the meter isn’t that big of a deal, besides just pocking with :h: gets you a shit ton of meter (you need to land obviously) I dont know why but when i play Nova i get fucking freezed, i cant do shit with his overheads and his derp J:s: so i think hes a bad BAD matchup for GR…fucking hate him. It was hilarious when you tried to Stare the other guy, good shit. Some guy in the Video forums posted a PS setup, you should check that out, tho is somewhat impractical. Bottom line is you got a SICK GR, i wish i could play you but got anXbox :((i could beat you tho:smokin: Please keep playing GR, i feel like im the only one in this community OHHH one last thing, how do you Wavedash that fast lol. great vid
I know i know I fucked up hard in that match I had no clue what I was doing. This was the first time I got to watch myself play so I’m going to correct my mistakes now that I can visually see them. nova and Spencer is a nightmare and it doesn’t help that the guy I was fighting is one of my good friends on Marvel and we play everyday but ehh what can ya do. And you think you can beat me? Good luck!
What is going on with the video quality lol?
It’s hard to take anything away from this though because it’s online. I feel like GR is much better online with that awful netcode assist. To be honest, it seemed like you where getting away with stuff that I get punished for doing all the time by good players. That Vergil player could have punished several whiffed jump S attempts and in general I didn’t see anyone super jumping away from you and playing lame. Your GR seems fine, but I didn’t see anyone really playing the match up against you properly either.
not my recorder I don’t know. And true, I know my Ghost Rider and Shuma are both pretty solid it’s mostly my Doom I’m embarrassed about I need to work on my movement.I do make a bunch of stupid mistakes in my matches and looking back at it I have no clue why I’m doing that stuff haha.
Is Ghost Rider’s snapback fast enough to hit Morrigan right after she activates Astral Vision?
If you are in range yes it is. It’s really hard to get in that range though and also not be in block stun.
Thanks. I was thinking that sometimes the wall of soulfists has gaps so it would be worth it to take a soulfist or two in order to snap Morrigan out and make her waste the super.
Yeah it is. It’s the only thing that GR can do against Morrigan/Doom since he has no options to stay above the fireballs and wait for her to run out of meter. The downside is that when you snap Doom you don’t have an incoming mix up and he’s probably going to get away and throw photons until he has two meters to DHC back to Morrigan and start the cycle again.
How about making that high/low mixup unblockable? There are a few overhead-assists in the game that reaches far. Nova and Viper comes to mind (And does Thors mighty smash last hit hit overhead?). Is that viable?
I don’t think it’s much more than a gimmick. The main issue with it, is that GR has no way to force someone to eat the unblockable. His movement options are so poor than you will rarely be in a position to perform the setup. At best you will be tossing it out randomly hoping that someone stands still long enough to get hit by it.
Here’s the last big tourney I played in, I ended up having to play a friend of mine in this which kind of sucked. It did however convince me to pick up someone other than GR though, because damn… Magneto vs GR is free.

Fuck…that was painful to watch. I would :h: the shit out of that. Try using Lariat maybe?
Honestly? I just don’t play GR anymore except for certain match ups (Hulk, lol). I wish the :h: had better startup though… It gets stuffed under pressure most of the time.
Oh, and I figured out some secret Ghost Rider gold (maybe old news to you guys):
If you alpha counter into his chain whip assist, it seems to be invincible the entire time. I accidentally alpha countered into it while in blockstun from Chaotic Flame in one match, and Ghost Rider was immune to the hyper and I got a full combo on Dormammu. Pretty sweet alpha counter!
I spent all day today playing Ghost Rider. I’ve been getting a lot of compliments - love the character. I just can’t figure out the appropriate team for him. I’m really digging Ghost Rider / Arthur thus far.
…aaaand, I’m back to Johnny Blaze. I can’t quit you, Ghost Rider.
I was liking ghost/doom/Shumai for a while but have recently debated between ghost/modok or haggar/doom.
I like haggar as a get off me assist but I kind of think a horizontal assist is more important to extend combos
Double Lariat is a nice assist, but I generally feel that if you are using Ghost Rider well, people won’t be that close in the first place without you wanting them to be there.
That’s why I prefer modok but I use modok beam and doom missiles. I mean doom beam is great for comboing the overhead universally but I prefer missiles for extended damage.
[media=youtube]jINF0wTWOJU[/media] DOOMFACE without a doubt THE best GR. He plays so patiently…waiting for an opening and BAAM! Touch of Death. He bodies very good Magneto, Cap, Nova players so that definitely earns you the spot of the best gr. Im very impressed, if you want to check out more of his stuff check out the link in the description.
What can you do about the Trish matchup? Honestly like Ghost Rider can’t do anythhiinnggg against her. Probably his worst matchup ever V__V
also on movement, If people weren’t already aware GR has the wavedash glitch (Where to do it you only need to hold back or forward to do it) But sadly for him, He can’t go forward due to chains coming out, only backwards ;-; if anybody finda a ways around that though, mobility with him for all GR players would get so much better.
