I TK heavy helevator then tap back, however I only use this at midrange to w medium fireball for mixups and hard tags. Try it out, hopefully it’ll help?
Anyone find any unblockable setups with Doom? I’ve seen one with missiles, but have not seen one for anything else.
You can also set one up with Molecular Shield, but the timing is REALLY strict. And compared to other lockdown assists, it’s not too difficult to escape. Plus you then lose Missiles (arguably the best assist in the game) or Plasma Beam (probably Firebrand’s best assist in general).
Gentlemen. I have found a double over head with Firebrand.
jL as if you are doing an instant overhead. Cancel with Hell’s Dive M and land with jM or jL into a cL. Double overhead!
Hey guys I have a FT15 coming up with another top NC player named Jon Slayton.
I’ve played this guy a lot but does anyone have any tips for fighting Zero/Dante/Strider?
The obvious one of snap in Strider and make sure he’s dead.
I dont have the game in hands atm so i’ll ask:
can you flame loop with bv>hard tag?
Its gonna be really tough, because his team just straight up counters Firebrand IMO. But what I do against Zero’s when I play Zero is I do alot of wall cling straight into Fireballs. He has to blow his buster to get through that. When he starts advancing on the ground, you can go for a hit.
Also, plasma beam blows up alot of stuff Zero wants to do. If you don’t play it, you should learn.

There is my pool for TFC. Anyone got any info for me?
Also, any of you going to TFC?
EDIT/ Looking up, I guess I never gave you guys the results. I won against Jon Slayton, the Zero player, 15-4.
Kill Shady’s Vergil. That’s the only practical advice I can give.
Call Shady a “washed-up motherfucker” to his face to psyche him out.
Not sure if this is the place for this and people probably already know because it’s obvious but Firebrand can beat the “mash TAC+hidden missile assist OS” if you do the correct TAC bait reset.
After the final launch of your combo and you reset with j.L, do a delayed j.H into Bon Voyage, land, dash backwards, st.H, cr.H, S, SJ forwards into the combo of your choice and you should avoid all the missiles.
What do you guys do if the other player tech rolls forward out of the corner after a knockdown? I remember watching a stream with apologyman, and someone rolled forward out of tenderizer and got thrown, and ShadyK said you can’t forward roll out of tenderizer against firebrand, so I’m assuming there was some trap or option select involved.
Okay guys, so this last weekend i got BLOWN UP by Morrigan teams. I know this is a god awful matchup for Firebrand, but what are some useful techs and strats going into the match? Any particular normals that i should abuse more, and has anyone got any useful anti-Morrigan tech? We’re assuming the Morrigan team is running the Morri-Doom shell with missiles assist.
@Gamegeezer. I thought your team would do pretty decently against MorriDoom.
You’ve got Plasma Beam for sniping assists. Both Nova and Firebrand are pretty good at stalling from Astral Vision spam by either getting to super jump height in the corner and putting a pulse out then hanging there, or by getting to super jump height in the corner and wall clinging. Remember Nova has High Speed Tackle which you can abuse if you have few meters that will get the Morrigan player to stop throwing shit briefly.
How’s your start of the round game with FB and have you got any new videos?
Hey, brotha I was thinking the same thing going into both matches, but man i got shut down so bad. It’s legitimately HARD for me to touch this broad. Opening game i notice i gotta setup my fireball game to shut her assists and fireball spam down. I do wall cling fireballs along with my doom beam assist to get it poppin. But the problem is getting a hit or beating her normals. Everytime i want to go in, i get the air S of doom or her normals just beat me cold. I refuse to believe this matchup is as hard as it seemed last weekend, but damn it’s convincing @_@
Hey guys, been kinda quiet here lately but I wanted to day that I’ve updating the Firebrand SRK wiki page on and off for the last few months. All of the stuff under the video and move list was written by me, but I’m running out of stuff to add.
I’m trying to make it into a comprehensive guide, so please go check it out. You might learn something new, but I’d also appreciate feedback on what could be written better or needs correcting. I’m gonna add some stuff about team building, but please let me know if there is any information that you think is missing.
