Peacock Thread: Straight From Toontown

Ha, I was using the hornet bomber thing yesterday.

I’m really digging P-Cock, her and Double seem to be my best characters.

ROFLMAO - I swear that was me playing Valentine the other day. Wish it showed the names. Was the first peacock I’d fought and was thinking wtf the whole time. lol Looking back on it now I should have been double jumping to get higher and then air dashing. With only the 1 round I didn’t have a lot of time to adapt. :slight_smile: Needless to say that message wasn’t sent by me.

I feel like this is directed at me lol. I play that same team and my lockdown with Peacock is good, but I tend to drop my combo alot online still. My double is also very bad, usually is Peacock dies I lost the whole game. Still got learning to do but it’s a team I can definitely stick with. I got something like a 7ish hit combo from fullscreen because of the assist before going into Argus Agony one time completely on accident. Pretty much throw bombs, have the assist hit, have a heavy item drop hit, then do cannonball xx gun (3 hits) then into super.

so is it just me or does it seem like peacock is a combination of arakune and cable… only better?

like arakune:

her little cartoon helpers are straight from arakune, only she doesnt need to curse you to use them, she has lag on her helpers though, but no need to curse is a huge help.

like cable:

gunshot x3 is ripped straight from him, and is MUCH better in this game cause of lower height super jumps. she also doesnt have the problem that cable and most other keepaway has which is the area right above there heads and and the area in the upper opposite corner of the screen… her bug that drops straight down covers both areas. im not complaining, i use her on point… satisfying for keepaway to actually work… but with peacock it really seems damn near like fullscreen lockdown sometimes and then on top of that she actually has good combos up close… then add in the teleport for crossup stuff along with that extremely far ranged throw and she seems like the seth of this game, has basically everything yet no hp modifier for balance…

so my q is what is her weakness?

not that it really matters, i love cheesing wins out with her… feels so dirty, like homeless guy dirty :slight_smile:

I think as far as three character teams go Peacock(Any bomb, probably the airplane?)/Parasoul(Egret Charge)/Double(Hornet Bomber) is probably the best. I’ve played as this team a few times and it is absolutely incredible. Unfortunately my Parasoul is still super fraudulent and if you get past my Peacock you have won the game so I don’t want to make myself even squishier until I’ve figured out how to play Parasoul and Double, herp a derp.

Also I was derping around with the Bass Hero assist and I was surprised how often it actually hit. I think it might have some invincibility post-start up but I’m not sure.

@Dime: Her weakness is that on her own she has no GTFO options other than a 50/50 guess between L and M versions of Bang, which won’t even help if you don’t have meter.

As the point character with an AAA behind her? Well, umm, I, err…

Two questions for Peacock players, what do you as the round begins? I usually jump back into j. HP (the shotgun) to get away and might call assist to be more safe (but they could jump over it), and what can Peacock do after an airthrow? It seems like it takes her way too long to recover to do much of anything, especially if the opponent techs forward.

I meant offline, unless you are Timic haha.

I usually start off with the j. HP. If I’ve played the guy a couple times already I’ll use her heavy teleport just to fuck with them.

Yup.

Edit:Nevermind guess it doesn’t hit low.

wow - after switching to Peacock/Double and practicing for like an hour I took the team online. Must have had like 25 wins in a row before I finally got my first loss and he had a sliver of health left when he beat me. Team seems… not sure if they’re overpowered at this point yet but it’s definitely a team you’ll need a solid strategy ahead of time to beat. You can’t just go in against that team all willy nilly.

mike z said in an interview that it does not… he said that they learned from arakune.

Yeah J.MK definitely doesn’t hit low.

Pizzarino, if you are out there, should probably update that on the wiki. I guess that would be pretty dastardly if j.mk hit low, lol.

Peacock/Double is definitely a strong ass team

any thing I can do to improve this combo? I dont like using the lvl 3 drop

It’s not like you need it to to get random hits off of it.

Well not sure how viable it is, but I was messing around with a Peacock/Cerebella team in training mode and found something fun to do with Peacock:
j.lp, j.lk, j.hk, j.lp, j.mp, j.hk, sj.lk, j.mp, j.hk or j.hp. Gives a few options after the last hit:
If you choose to use the j.hk as the last hit, you can air forward dash to cross under the guy, giving you a free high/low mixup, or throw or whatever you want.
j.hp gives you space, right after it you can air backdash to safety.
simply call impending shadow of doom right when you land after j.hk, depending of the character you combo on, only the kick of j.hk and not the bird might have hit, making you safe if the bird falls after your combo.

Pretty fun character imo. I was trying to get a 4 super combo using super bomb, argus agony, praying for a Dio super and then argus agony.
Gave up after one hour of failure lol.
