The Power of Chi! Official Iron Fist thread!

I…Have Shame… = PROFOUND SADNESS!

GD you Capcom, I’m hyped again!

I kinda knew what to expect from Vergil, but for you to toss in Iron Fist and give him souped-up Fei Long attacks, friggin WIN! Danny Rand reppin’ Heroes for Hire hard in this game. Love his ground game, looks to be the best of the newcomers so far. And his Axe Kick working as an OTG has Much potential. He looks like he’s gonna need a projectile assist to truly be a lethal weapon, but I got several in mind. Also, his Level 3 Hyper…Capcom, THAT’S WHAT FEI LONG’S ULTRA SHOULD’VE BEEN! NOT A FRIGGIN COUNTER!!!

As I said though, I’m hype. I want this game even more now.

ok this guy is BAD…ASS…
This dude is going to have combo potential with that Dragon Kick, and the OTG kick. I think his red power up makes his Pillar hyper stronger, but im not sure. All I need to see now is what his power ups do, and I think I may have a good back up plan if PW/Frank turn out to be lame. Im hype for this character, cmon Seth DEMO HIM PLZ PLZ PLZ.

More like Fei Long’s daddy.

A few of his specials and power-ups remind me a lot of Jam from Guilty Gear. Hottt.

I’m hoping he’s good on point rather than anchor. I’d imagine he’s going to kickass anywhere… He’s fucking Iron Fist.

He can rip hearts out of undying dragons with his bare hands…

In the videos anyways he lost charge when getting combo’d, but that could be because he was just constantly refreshing it on offense so it didn’t have a chance to time out.

Really worried about his mobility tho’, air flame kick and a dive kick might just about make the nut.

Also, “I’m registered as a deadly weapon!” So wonderfully '70s.

I hope he’s terrible and must have a team based around him to work so we won’t see Iron Fist and his BFF all day online.

Iron Fist looks a lot better than I was expecting, I’ll admit.

I’m hearing, “LEI KUNG, I HAVE SHAMED YOU”, which is still awesome. They threw in a little tribute to his sensei.

Iron Fist is allot more flashier than I expected him to be, espicially with High Velocity Flying Jump Kicks. For some reason his Level 3 does not seem like the kind of Falcon Punch even though essentially that’s what it is.

My theory on chi stances is it gives him a different move set perhaps? at least that’s my first impression. There may be levels of it as well, he went from purple to his body glowing green like XFC, there’s definitely a buff in there somewhere, if it was damage I didn’t see anything, hitstun?

I’m sorry, that has to be one of the dumbest things I’ve read today and I read Gawker sites regularly. Who gives a crap if a ton of people use him? Does that make him less awesome or just make you feel less special? If I were a fan of Akuma and Wolverine, I would’ve been playing them regardless of all the herp-derp and BFF jokes.

Other. People. Don’t. Matter.

Good for you, I still don’t like it.

Seems like he has two ways to approach - his ground dashes are pretty good, and his ‘Fei Long’ Rekka punches move him forward a bit. I’m guessing he could use those similarly to Zero’s :f::h: to plow his way in?

I’m struggling to see what his mix-ups are, though. Is his slow flame kick that OTGs also an overhead maybe? I didn’t see any command throws, side changes or anything like that. Obviously no tri-dash, and I didn’t see any dive kicks. And we haven’t seen if he can easily combo after his air throw or ground throw yet.

He seems to have great priority and damage, but I don’t know what he does about a Trish or Sentinel type character that’s being a total bitch way up in the air. And I don’t know how he opens up someone yet that doesn’t want to be hit.

I’m guessing his power-ups may fill some of those gaps when we start to learn more about them. Also I like that because of his crumplestun move, he can work in a power-up mid combo. You could also use assists to work in multiple power-ups into one combo easily.

I love the look and feel of this character, but right now it looks like he has less mix-up than Chris :eek: Needs more videos.

As far as the Chi-Stances go, I haven’t really watched too far in depth, but I THINK that purple increases damage output. Though that seems kinda rough. I feel like people would just sort of stay in purple.
Unless there’s like, speed boost/meter gain boost/ increased recovery on tag-out.

Yes the OTG is an overhead.

I think he’ll struggle a bit against keepaway characters, but that’s why I wanted Nova to have a beam assist to begin with XD

Where yo curly hitboxes at?

OMG he’s all like “fuck DMC”

Now that. That is pretty.

Cant wait to use the team of Iron Fist/Hawkeye/Strange. New Avengers FTW!

Hope that kick is an assist. Having an assist that OTGs and overheads would be nice - like an alternate version of Wesker’s that OTGs and hits low.
