Rocket with cold star doesn’t need corner oki. He has unblockable resets that are, for 95% of the cast, inescapable.
Unfortunately, Ammy hates me, I cannot run this. I have to use other ways of making unblockable resets involving strider + shrapnel traps D:
20%+ of the cast has invincible level 1 frame 1 reversals, so they at least have an option. Not to mention other situations (as you saw if I raw tagged raccoon on the knockdown setup the blaster hit him awkwardly to let me tech out).
I think the bigger thing is that in the current meta the large majority of the characters you’ll run into will not have an answer to it (and even then the ones that do probably won’t realize they have an answer). In that sense it might as well be 95% of the cast.
RR has good match-ups against several of the most-used anchors, particularly Doom. I’d say he is nowhere near one of the worst anchors in the game, and definitely better than new current fads like Strange
Assuming I learned how to do Doom TAC combos, would it be better to run Doom 2nd and RR Anchor, or the other way around?
I like Rocket over Doom as anchor provided he has meter, but running him without assists now just makes him feel so weak.
imo that is one of the reasons I do rocky anchor. I play Spidey/Doom/Raccoon and having the threat of Doom tac gives me great TAC fakeout potentials for resets with Spidey and the ever-present danger from TACs as well. They both also build meter to make Rocket Raccoon a more effective anchor than before. Also Doom with Log Trap is deceptively good. Spidey can also do some crazy hit confirms off of log trap. I love it.
I might have to “borrow” that team from you Bees, but maybe run Spitfire instead? IDK either sound good, Raccoon can get an esay 980k+ in lvl3xf and he is annoying as hell (which is how I like it). One of the possible chars to fix my anchor issue.
I like the team. Although I like logtrap better. I can combo off of it with both Doom and Spider-Man. Also it extends combos for both as well. But spitfire should be pretty good as well and probably better for neutral game. Should give spidey some good mixups.
So here’s some of my anchor RR from KiT this weekend. It’s nothing amazing and people let me get away with waaay too much from lack of matchup knowledge. Either way, thought I’d share. I have a long set that starts at 1:39:00.
I plan to spend the next little bit playing RR point just to get used to playing him with RB so I can have a more fluid playstyle. Feel free to laugh and rip me a new one for my scrubby RR play.
