I tried him, I don’t think he’s up there. Sure, he’s got a good super, but not much in terms of mixups. Good damage output too, but it’s a matter of getting in. To me, he seems like a less effective Ametarasu.

god tier i mean how can he lose? hes got a bionic arm

too early to tell imo

hes kind of a wildcard

He’s got an overhead which links into armor piercer then into super for big damage, and he has a command throw that gives you a full combo. The only thing he’s missing is an easy mode crossup like Wolverine or Zero, but then again hardly anyone has that. His mixup game is pretty solid, and that’s not even his biggest asset.

Spencer can use his bars effectively, top 5 anchor in the game, one of the best punishers in the game
and above average health

I’m not great with Spencer so I’ll take your word on it. What is his biggest asset?

He has a strange Air S he can crossup very strangely

Is it really -1 on Wesker S? If so how are you suppose to punish that?

You don’t punish it, which is bullshit. Storm also has a -1 launcher.

Probably bionic arm (the ability to wreck anyone from very far away for just twitching), but his awesome mobility is also up there as well. He’s also got above average damage and can set up DHC trick combos.

-___- my face when i saw weskers command grab startup frame. so it goes “Oh, you blocked S? Fear not for the 1 frame command grab will ensure you take damage! You are weak!”

Generally -1 in any fighting game means it is only command grab punishable if the grab is instant.

If you’re not great with him, why do you feel the need to chime in about how good he is when you obviously have no idea what you’re talking about?

This is why this thread sucks.

The blind leading the blind as usual on srk.

To bolster my previous statements on Viper being not only far from bottom tier but actually top tier in the recent SJ Keystone 2 team tourney I went to Viper put in serious work against good people. My team ended up losing to F-Champ, Ricky, Crizzle but we beat quite a few people on the way there and in casuals afterward when I stopped summoning my assists into Haggar assist I won more than I lost against Crizzle. (But of course lost my Taskmaster before he even entered the field on stream --; ) Viper’s an exceptional character and has either good or absolutely free matches against most of the good characters in the cast. Positive matches against Wesker, Magneto, and Ammy with the frequency those characters are used is pretty nice.

Blocking Weskers launcher might not be punishable but atleast you have momentum after it

I can’t beat him, he has a Bionic arm.

But he’s weird, he’s not really what I think of as a great character, his meter build is slow,bionic arm is really punishable on block, his mobility sucks, and his normals have bad startup.

Spencer has alot of weird factors to his game that make him a really solid pick, and while he’ll go down a bit when you learn the matchup I can’t really see him drifting too far from the top of the glass, maybe to the middle.

He creates openings really well because of his weird mobility, and he makes you respect him with Bionic arm fear, so able to do something. If held by the Magneto standards I brought up earlier, he’ll Bionic arm that shit, or grapple over it, or grapple before or after it and grab mags.

Agree’d, but I don’t know if i’d ever say she rapes anyone outside of like Thorfor free… even then thats way too strong to say without a bit of hype coloring what I’ve got to say.

She’s not the best character in the game, but she’s rather close. She’s underrated, and under used but what is new about that, did you play Chocolate or Vanilla, only a few pro’s used her well enough to make the casual gamer bat an eyelash and when they did she still loses for trying to do too much when the opponent has to do too little.

I’ve yet to understand why in a Marvel game she’s still much more active then the rest of the cast, but she’s a damn good character, better then most rushdown oriented characters, if not damn near all of them.

Still, not to shoot you down my man but they probably didn’t know the matchup at all. The game is still a bit too green to get too out of hand now unless its with a character we’ve seen a million times like Sentinel or Ammy, or Wesker… cause everyone loves that dude.

Viper with meter makes most matchups in her favor, without she’s still going to open you up like a tuna can. But mistakes are murder, and so is zeal.

I know ya’ll can’t see but I’m flipping every Thor hater off.

thor sucks

jwong is broken

To thoses who said Thor sucked, you don’t know shiiit !! He just won a tournament with names like Floe, Clockwork, codylicious in it and he whooped their asses completely !!..

Are there any videos of this Thor pwnage? I like Thor’s game a lot, even if i can’t do it, has a ton of cool options it seems like, and most health is obviously a nice thing. I’d like to see someone use heroic speech in a tournament. :lol:
