He sounds like a robot to me.
I like ‘immortal weapons’
Or ‘secrets of K’un Lung’ (or wherever the apostraphe goes)
I used to hate it, but I’ve started to find his chop-socky delivery quite endearing.
I always hear ‘Beard of the Dragon’!
Hm this is the only char I haven’t taken much interest in so far, but Im gonna look through the posts and see what the excitements about since I wanna like and at least try everyone of the new characters. Jwong seems interested in him too. I like his speed and his power Chichi changes though but he looks to straight forward for me but at the same time not due to his crazy mixups. Lol
Iron Fist is looking like a really strong 2nd character thanks to his powerful OTG/Overhead assist, if DHC(or your 1st dieing) brings him up to point he will likely rely heavily on the other assists(i think fist and sentinel would get along just fine, pity I don’t enjoy playing sent at all XD) to help him get in on any zoning teams. Once on top of someone his mixup looks like it will be pretty crazy. Sadly such a factor possibly precludes him from being a strong anchor, but his ground speed is pretty godlike.
My team so far is structured around fist helping X23 do her thing and I’m still shopping for the third(Strange seems a very likely candidate) so basically: Mobile character/Iron Fist/Assist based Anchor. If you want fist on point, he will likely need serious assists like Sent or Doom that are out for a long time and keep people pinned(Trish tactics with keeping people locked down by her sword might also be interesting).
Looking forward to finally egetting hands on with him in a month 
Any ideas on Iron Fist/Super-Skrull synergy? I’m definitely using both of them in Ultimate, but I’m having trouble coming up with things having not played Iron Fist. I’m thinking Tenderizer might be a good assist?
A friend of mine used Wolverine/Skrull with good results but he used Orbital Grudge as a combo extender as well as a Tatsu-esque comebo starter in some situations.
This got me thinking, do you guys think Iron Fist will have a fast enough jumping move that could possible act as an instant overhead ala Wolverine’s j. A?
One thing I’ve noticed is that in Marvel, you can pick any 2 characters you want to play, it’s selecting the third to tie those 2 together that is most important. Then the DHC glitch happened and now that it’s unhappened again I’m hoping that will still be very viable. Finding out which assist works best will also depend on the third you find. Is Skrull a decent anchor? That might also need to be something to keep in mind.
Iron fist and skrull could potentially work, with iron fist taking point and building meter for skrull’s shenanigans. I’m pretty sure We’re going to see more orbital grudge use now anyways, so I’m sure it could work with IF easily enough. I really want to see which Assists iron fist can be effective with, or if he can only really take use of his otg. We’ll have to wait until some more playtesting or for Maximilian to give us some info.
Orbital Grudge is getting nerfed, so you might want to use Tenderizer.
I haven’t heard. What’s being changed?
From what I’ve heard it doesn’t soft knockdown like it used to kind of like Tatsu. Presumably it still has its armor though.
iron fists normals look like they have a ton of frame advantage on hit (and possibly block as well). he may end up being the king of links. combine that with jump cancels, air-to-airs, rekkas, height adjusted combos, and assists, i can see IF doing some unbelievably hard-hitting hit-confirms as long as hsd doesn’t eat up too much of his combo potential. we’ll see whats cooking in a month, but this char is looking pretty gross to me.
It doesn’t do a soft knockdown in Vanilla either, I believe.
“- Orbital Grudge assist does not cause soft knockdown anymore (works like how Akuma’s Tatsu in Ultimate)”
Just going by what it says in that big list of changes. I’ve never used that assist so I wouldn’t particularly know.
The thing that worries me about this thread is nobody is really discussing the last Ultimate showcase where Justin Wong obviously struggled with Iron Fist to get through Doom w/assist. Iron Fist was looking hopeless, with his crazy rekka mixup or not its not doing any good when he’s getting blasted back.
Trish, Modok, Doom, Deadpool, Firebrand, Storm…all these characters can potentially blow him up. And a simple “beam assist” isnt going to be a solution.
Is his hyper the only thing that can go through projectiles? Is there any confirmation about the durability on his dragon kick?
To be honest I have little hope for this character, he doesn’t seem as bad as most low tiers in Vanilla right now, but I don’t think he’s gonna be good by any means. At least I still have Firebrand to be hype about.
I’m just saying. At least X-23 has a way in, what does Iron Fist have?
Thats why Ive been saying dont use him as a point or an anchor. I think he will be a very valuable 2nd slot character.
