shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I have a feeling nobody gets this. It is a parody of the Candlejack meme
Oh. I was trying to figure out what “dama” is, haha.
That’s true but that is not what I was saying at all.
TACs are not guaranteed and sometimes you want to keep Firebrand on point.
In these situations, having a good THC helps.
Obviously having a good TAC is important too but it is not always something that is available, nor guaranteed.
I agree, but all you need for a good THC is some sort of “capture” hyper like BILLION CARROTZ
Since we don’t have a matchup thread, I may as well ask this here: does anyone have any advice vs. Spencer? I can’t use any of my usual okizeme on him because he can just Bionic Arm and then DHC to something safe, and I can’t punish that since it’s safe so baiting it out isn’t much use. Are there any decent resets or anything that would leave him airborne (to take away his access to Bionic Arm) that would be good for this scenario?
I like to throw normal jump fireballs from full screen so he cant zip to get in.
For resets let him block the first drone before pressing buttons.
I notice when they feel pressured, they are B.Arm happy. Dash in and don’t press buttons or try to stay in the air and throw fireballs except when he is directly under you.
One more thing, be calm and dont rush.
If your talking about Dante team super. That super is awful when team up with firebrand.
I wouldn’t say awful, but it’s not Ammy tier.
The problem with it is that Firebrand’s Dark Fire pushes them out of the gun shots. You need hyper combos that carry up or have a huge hitbox.
Sentinel’s HSF doesn’t work due to the carry up from Firebrand. It’s disappointing because Plasma Storm would be great but you don’t have Drones if you run that.
However, it’s not too hard to find characters that have good THC.
One thing that is really useful for my team (FB/Dorm/Akuma) is that if Dormammu dies, I then have FB/Akuma. If I get a hit, I can XF right before the THC and do 500k, hopefully to kill. And then start charging the unblockable and get the next opponent coming in, if you time it right, who will die to the normal combo into another THC. I’ve won a lot of games off of that just because that situation comes up so often.
For Dante I usually x-factor and omit firebrand from the THC sequence.
Also HSF early dhc’ed into luminous body is good for Firebrand (and Wolverine). HSF destroys nearly all zoning attempts and it allows him to close the distance and apply pressure without fear of suffering chip damage .
Why THC in the first place if your gonna omit firebrand?Also using x factor to do it seems like a waste to me.
Do you think strider’s Gamma assist is okay for firebrand?
Just call it Vajra like everyone else. Seeing it called ‘gamma’ makes me think of Hulk.
And no, not really. Firebrand has enough maneuverability, space control, and combo potential that his air control isn’t in need of Vajra, and he can’t OTG in fashions like Dante, Doom, or Wesker. Demon Fire H scales too hard for a character who’s already pressed for damage.
well i only use Vajra to extend firebrands combo. I guess i will try to find someone else for my team lol
If you gave me your other teammate I could give an opinion.
i switch among these assists: Sentinal’s drones, Doctor Strange’s eye of Agomoto, and C.viper’s Thunder knuckle assist(rarely).
Drones and Bolts/Agomtto, though I prefer bolts, should do you well for Firebrand’s need Lockdown for unblockable setups, though you’d probably really have to work for it. Since you can pretty much spam either till the cows come home, pick a teammate that can dish out the damage over an assist. Preferably one who benefits from Bolts, Eye, or Drones. However, both of your mentioned assists are very slow. A beam or projectile or something to scare the opponent from gaining the upper hand on assists would do you well, such as Doom/Magneto Beam or Hawkeye/Taskmaster arrows.
Wow thank you. Haven’t thought of that before.
Fuck it has been a minute since I been here. I haven’t been playing him lately sadly. I’ve been so busy working on my Captain America team and work that I just haven’t had the chance to even look at the Firebrand forums, nor play him.
I’ve been thinking about trying to play Firebrand with MODOK. I have a hunch that balloon bomb assist can set up unblockables on entry. Same with Haggar’s lariat. Still have to decide whether I want to just say fuck it and combine all of them.
Also been thinking about trending back to Wolverine. I’ve lately been trying to hit you once, burn x-factor and kill your first character off rip, for momentum purposes. Wolverine is the best character to do that, and then I can set up an unblockable after that with a DHC (trololo). Of course, this is all theory. Imma test this later today.
