I’m destined to play Jedah I’m just trying not to be a cool kid right now (aka a scrub)
aka coon is on top tier teams in the current meta. I’d agree with that. After playing more I know it’s mainly my lack of training but I could convert off a lot of the shit I’m forcing people into especially with space stone. It’s still early though.
So, I’m starting to freak out and DJ’s prediction is coming true. People are really starting to reflect shit on reaction. Here I am trying to do the same shit and taking reality stone to the face. It’s just pushblock right?
I’ve been perfecting my wall cling firebrand balls, not that they’re as effective as MVC3 but dude was reflecting them back at me online like he was throwing fireballs. Might have been hax, but it only lasted for a second. The mechanics have me beside myself still. I’m starting to see the neutral switch opportunities though and my fingers are responding. Soon I’ll journey to NLBC and embarrass myself.
Airdash pressure (aka derpdash from now on) is starting to really piss me off. That and teleports.
I don’t remember having this much trouble with derpdash or teleports in any other game. The game feels way to rushdown heavy, like I’m pushblocking derpdashes and I’m still being put into blockstun from said derpdashes. Feels lucky to get out of the derpdash especially when cornered. The only good thing is that I’m pretty decent at blocking the high/low, but it doesn’t matter because I eventually get opened up when I miss a pushblock or press a button that gets hit.
It was somewhat sarcastic obviously, but Coon is starting to create the assist support I realized for this game. Basically certain characters even if they aren’t top tier on point are going to have assists that are top tier for another character. The tag system lets yout abuse any characters entire moves list in neutral.
Juri proves that she’s better than Fang at least. She’s had overall better results than him and has a good toolset. She’s just not as cheap as some of the higher tiers and only one player actually optimizes her play style (who doesn’t go to tournaments)
You’d probably have to run reality stone with that team to stop the all out airdashing. Without repulsor blast, you don’t have a strong hitbox above your head
Yeah I’ve been running reality stone with this team for that reason. Just need to get better at using it I guess.
I find it pretty shitty that the only real defensive option in the game outside storm activation is a 9 frame startup non invincible move that forces you to switch synergies if you want to use it well.
There are still a couple chars I haven’t fought against Frank, Spencer and Chris. I have no Idea what to expect. Frank looks pretty good at lvl 5 but chris and spencer I don’t even have an opinion about
Time stone keepaway is a real thing. Cancelling whiffed normals into it is so OD to abuse and so effective if you condition your opponent. Still trying to figure out guard cancel punishes with it but I think this might work in THEORY:
Counter switch, see your opponent commit, activate storm into 100 percent.
Playing Jedah X Ultron I’m really enjoying their general movement plus time stone. It makes them even harder to pin down. And when you get their zoning patterns correct IE, covering the right angles, they’re such a strong pairing. Jedah HP Fireball plus Ultron drones and beam is so very annoying to deal with. And their box dash normals are kinda OD.
They definitely toned down the defensive stuff in this game. Without assist it makes it pretty difficult to deal with the rush down. I suggest power stone. You’ll slap a lot of people out of their offense.
I’m just mad I can’t play this game until November when I get my ps4. Yoi guys have like a 2 month time frame to learn play and enjoy. All I can do is watch and deal with poverty until then (sigh) smh
One more question. Do installs stay when you tag out like they did in 3? I have only seen Dante go DT and switch out. Haven’t seen that with anyone else yet.
It’s funny how even though Coon is putting in work on tournies, online I’ve played against 1 Coon, 0 firebrands, and a million Jedahs, Dantes, Thanos, Ultron’s with a sprinkle of spiderman, arthur, Chun Liand a few oddball Strange players, even big bodies are rare. Guess part is due to newness, Captain Marvel gets no love though, good. I don’t know how to fight her yet.
Coon looking like he has some good counter options for space storm. If you put him in the box he can just lay traps around himself and then good luck doing anything to him
