The Power of Chi! Official Iron Fist thread!

Nova can’t have Thanos alt costume, only Skrull could.

Rigid chins and all.

Man I’ll be honest with you guys, all the news about Iron Fist’s low mobility is keeping me down. I do wanna play a good character… Well, I’ll have to see for myself when the game drops before making a decision.

Reports are he is horribly slow… how in the hell is a kung fu master “Horribly Slow?”

Also purple skin :slight_smile:

Well, other reports claims he has an amazing wavedash.

So take that. He will be char who loves lockdown type assist so he can break people open with his rekkas. Then kill. Nothing more. He only needs that one assist to do so.

Well, She-Hulk got by without air mobility so that should be alright. I’m also kinda scared of his low game too, though. I was wondering earlier if we even saw his low normals, reports are those aren’t so good either… Sure he has the low rekka but you’d really need a great lockdown assist to get something out of it.

So maybe something like Doom rocks/missiles or Ammy’s Cold Star will work with him.

his low :h: is a SF style sweep, so he has that… not terribly long legs though.

Its painful too, in the video starting to come out, to see people try to hit his :s: against falling people and having nothing happen. Get ready to learn a whole new set of trained reflexes!

Dat good ol’ SRK delusion?

Now it dont take much to see Iron Fist has postential but I dont see any “S-tier” what-so-ever.

She Hulk was good because all she needed was a good airthrow, her command run into slide was damn near full screen and lead to a ridiculous chunk of health.

The analogy that Iron Fist just need to get into to win is theory fighting as its absolute best if anything. Can he combo to near-death off an airthrow? He doesnt have anything like She-Hulks long range low cancel into launcher.

What are yall talking about in here I dont get it.

Every character is either Broken tier or Roll tier in discussion, that’s hardly surprising :stuck_out_tongue:

Funnily, we still haven’t seen his air throw, lol.

So my makoto comparison was correct.

:coffee:

any gameplay video from fight club?

I’ve seen a little bit, from the looks of it IF takes a bit more figuring out, a lot of single rekkas and trying to launch people in the air with :s:

Iron fist can only combo off an airthrow to the corner or one that is super low to the ground. I air throwed off normal jump and mashed wesker gun and they still recovered too quickly. He can combo an axe kick otg after an air throw but it’s very situational. All in all, it doesn’t seem like he has anything that will prevent me from just holding up on him from the start of the round.

His wave dash is good, but not like anything we haven’t seen before. (wesker and taskmaster level).

Thx 4 da info.

I told you…some of the new chars better have a godlike assist for him or he’s gonna either:

1-. Get zoned to death by the likes of Magneto, Viper, Taskmaster, Hawkeye, Ghost “fucking fullscreen combos” Rider, Dr.Strange

or

2-. Get rushed to death by Wesker, Wolverine and friends.

still waiting for someone to test if his flying kick has some anti-projectile in it :stuck_out_tongue:

Imo the only thing he really needs at this point is something to change his jump arc. A dive kick or an attack that delays him slightly.

also, diveman, considered “That’s what they said about wolverine too, lol” requirement now fulfilled. The real trick is being good with coverage assists… all the ones that worked for the last generation will work for IF.

Yes, im aware, but wolverine had invincible berserker slash (that crossed up and was mad fast) and a divekick (with a HUGE hitbox and stagger on hit and ground bounce). If one or some of IF’s rekkas have that then he’s gonna be fine

Spirit of the Dragon does not OTG

but you can overhead kick into it right?

^that’s correct
