The Power of Chi! Official Iron Fist thread!

I’d be shocked if we didn’t, We will get classic green/yellow, modern white/gold, alt red/yellow, purple for Steel Serpent, and maybe even a Daredevil themed color to shout out to Danny’s time as Daredevil.

Ninja edit: maybe a black and yellow for his besty Luke Cage.

I was already hyped the day they announced fist and now he looks even more delicious, channeling a little of my darling Karin <3
Team is currently IronFist/X23/???. those 2 will have unblockables and otgs for days together(unless dragon fang turns out to be a really godlike assist) For 3rd I’m leaning heavy towards a beam assist, though some others pop into mind.

Most interested in:
Doc Strange(one worry is that bolts is too high an assist vs some cast members)
Ironman(maybe i never could get into old Ironman, maybe the newly changed one will be more fun)
Phoenix(weak assist, but one of my fav characters to play, even if I don’t use Dark Phoenix)
Nova/Rocket Raccoon/Wright (all in the same boat here, hoping for gameplay I enjoy+ godlike assist, we’ll see)
Doom(never did get into doom, but damn all those buffs get me interested to maybe learning after all, also FINGER LASERS)
Taskmaster(picked him up recently, still not quite gotten into him, but he’s a contender)

Hmmm really waiting on that Nova and or Raccoon gameplay, might have a suprise new teammmber in them.

Joe: (I think it was Joe), you were talking about doing upkicks>Dragon Fang as a non meter finisher, I presume you’re thinking you’ve already used your wall bounce?

Depending on HSD, I can already see his chain going 3x… First time its crumple>launch>OTG, second time its into Wallbounce, third time its to finish. You might be able to get a fourth from Dragon Palm>OTG if you’re in the corner. All this is HSD allowing of course :stuck_out_tongue:

Edit: Is there something I’m missing in the system that :qcb::l::qcf::h::qcb::m: wouldn’t be a loop in the corner? (low hit pickup>hard knockdown>OTG xN)

Edit again, from watching the stream, :qcf::m: is "Dragon Touch’ and :qcb::m: is “Dragon Stomp”. Now we know what all the assists are called anyways

And again, also he either does a taunt or there’s some move we don’t know about yet in the stream vid… or chi charging is cancellable to neutral. Also also, do you get your charge if you do chi>cancel to super? If you do, that would be a good little gimmick to use :smiley:

I really hope he can continue a combo after his Fist of Fury hyper without using an assist.
I like how he he hits like a truck.
Anyways I’m really liking the way he plays.wasn’t sure if i was going to use him, but I’m definitely going to make him my main now.

We gotta get some mirror matches going when Ultimate drops, since I’ll probably be maining IF as well. Although I dunno about my team setup with him. Maybe if Skrull gets a nice damage buff I’ll use him to get that Orbital Grudge assist. I think that assist is gonna be better than Akuma Tatsu now that Tatsu doesn’t cause a knockdown, with Grudge having armor and all… But who can tell.\

I was wondering about combo’s, would you even need to launch with IF? It depends on the hitstun, but couldn’t you do something like…

LMH, Rekka, Crumple punch, activate Chi, Rekka, Dragon Stomp, Upkicks, jump cancel MMH(or MHS), land, MH, wallbounce, dash, Dragon Palm, otg Stomp, Spirit of the Dragon.
Of course if you launch you could do something like…
LMH, Rekka, Crumple, activate Chi, Upkicks, jump MMH, land, MHS, air MMHS, otg Stomp, Spirit of the Dragon.
It kinda depends on how much deterioration you get from the rekka’s and what the range on his launcher is.

I want to know if you can just do any of his rekkas right off the bat. If not, that really limits his combo opportunities, and he can’t approach with Dragon kick.

From what I saw you can do any of them without having to combo, but you can’t rekka after his H and S rekka’s. So you wouldn’t be able to do Dragon Palm into Dragon Stomp since Palm is H.
It wouldn’t make sense if you couldn’t do them right off the bat on point, even though he has them seperately as an assist.

That’s good.

Actually, i think that you can combo up-kicks into Dragon Fang.
That may have just been a tiger-knee motion.

just a note, OP should put videos and images in spoiler tags, lest we lose the ability to embed them. :wink:

You can combo H rekka into S rekka :slight_smile:

I’m curious to the rules of repetition. From what I guess we can’t do the usual repeat of the same rekka in succesion, but if another one was in between we can.

I’m still exstatic he has an assist that OTGs and Overheads. Dragon Fang is gonna need to be pretty godlike to make me consider it.

Also we’ll be sure to get some games 34, with the DHC glitch gone and it looking like I finally have a beam character I’ll enjoy playing(strange or new ironman, but eagerly awaiting Nova and RR as potentials). Though who knows, maybe I’ll eventually pick up new doom^^

new doom is gonna be ridiculous lol. out of all the characters that needed buffs, they chose Doom and made his point game even better than it is already. I can see Doom being a good match for Fei Long here to help him get in dat ass.

You know what scares me though? The thought of alioune Doom/Magneto/Dormammu team with both Doom and Dormmamu getting faster projectiles. Eff me.

I can see myself raging already against REPULSAH REPULSAH REPULSAH

how 'bout my Mag/Strange team:

BOLTS OF REPULSAH BOLTS OF BOLTS OF BOLTS OF REPULSAH BALLSACK

Mags strange is bolts of disruptah, repulsah is ironman :stuck_out_tongue:

Mags also has Repulsion. calling it REPULSAH anyway in memory of 7-frame DISRUPTAH.

Repulsion is one of his new gravity moves, probably the pushback one judging by the name.

I am more scared of Magneto/Taskmaster/Doom. Someone played it at one of the UMvC3 videos and you can just gravitation and repulsion Wolverine to death with some help from beam assists. I suspect that team will be the new MSS in UMvC3.

I see. Just so used to that Disruptah^^
