What exactly were you expecting? J Wong probably has spent only minutes with Iron Fist, his Dr Strange was getting blown up too, surely you weren’t expecting him to figure out Iron Fist that soon? Nobody had figured out his auras yet, apparently the blue aura could absorb projectiles and nobody has tried using it. Iron FIst also has Akuma-like wave dashes and that could be what that enables him to beat zoning. He almost certainly will have some problems with zoning but I seriously doubt Neo G will be dumb enough to create a character with no tool against zoners. Let’s just wait for Max’s video on Iron Fist to have a good explanation of what he can do.
His wave dash - just by the looks of it - seems to be the best in the game. It’s ridiculously fast. From what we’ve seen so far, if you can’t get in by wave dashing and using beam as a cover, Iron Fist’s tools aren’t the problem.
there was a bit of discussion on that match at the time, but given the new characters/bad assist choices vs. ‘my best team forever’ thing it was really hard to actually make any judgements from the match.
Yeah, I can’t wait for “Assist Me!” with Iron Fist since there is so much we need to know about him at this point.
fist of fury will cause many keepaway characters to be weary of happy birthdays. it’ll force them to burn their xfactor early, and/or have specific tools ready to counter.
It really depends on how much invul it has. I don’t think at fullscreen it will go through everything, but rushdowners will have to be cautious since he can go through their tricks.
i’ve tried my best keeping up with this thread, but I can’t recall if I saw anything about Fist being able to combo/otg after throws… ground or air
does anyone have information on this? I haven’t seen anything in videos either
The throws we’ve seen so far toss them really far, it’d be hard to combo unless in teh corner
I want to try him on point first just because it will be a faster way to learn him. The main reason my Iron Man is my worst character is because I lack match experience with him, I use him on training mode as much as the other characters, but when it comes to the match his assist is so good that most of the matches I win he doesn’t get the chance to fight.
His wave dash is insane though. Like… it’s friggin’ ridiculous. There’s an outside shot. Maybe. :xeye:
What do you guys think about Wesker/Iron Fist/Magneto in that order? X-factor lvl 3 doesn’t last that long anymore to make me want Dark Wesker, and his assist is useless for Iron Fist, but I really want to play team purple.
EDIT: Okay, I found a way to save my soul!
I’ll split it into two teams:
Iron Fist, Strider and Doom/Iron Man (Fist wearing purple, Strider and Doom white/black, Strider and Iron Man blue)
and X-23, Wesker and Magneto (Wesker and Magneto wearing purple)
Not only I get to play both Fist and Wesker that I love, but I also get back to play the most beautiful character in this game, X-23 s2
Hey everyone just wanted to say as a huge fan of Danny Rand, i’m hyped he’s in this game. Loved everything we’ve seen so far and he’s looking like a beastly character, can’t wait for Max’s video so we can learn more about him. Has anyone watched the Capcom stream from NYCC? There have been some decent Iron Fist players but you can see they’re learning with him. Two matches in particular stuck out the most, one with a nice glimpse of IF’s Dragon Touch assist. Will post them up in a few. 
The nickname, the avatar, the signature…
I’ll have to like every single post you make.
LOL Iron Fist fan for life!
And don’t forget…dat smiley!!
looking at the seth breakdown, @:49s it looks like he may be able to (dash up) otg after a midscreen ground throw, if his low hitting launcher also hits otg. now that i’m typing this, that would actually look kinda funny. its also possible that he may be able to call out assists during his throw like wolvie, but thats just wishful thinking on my part. still haven’t seen his airthrow though.

not fullscreen FoF. utilize his wavedash (crackdash) to close the distance, and if your opponent does anything, go through it, xfactor mid-FoF then do a standard or modified combo, and VIOLA! two dead characters.
Has it been actually said anywhere that he does have an air throw? I haven’t heard it explicitly stated if he has one or not…
Why wouldn’t he have an airthrow?
Well it’s not like it’s been confirmed, (unless it was shown on the stream) so I don’t want to jump to any conclusions. More than likely he will have one, but it has yet to be seen.
Why would he have a launcher that doesn’t hit airborn? who knows with Capcom right?
I doubt he doesn’t have one though. Come to think of it, if he can OTG off his air throw then it might be his best/only viable option for mid air combat (I mean the j.:h: air throw OS obviously) here’s hoping he has a good j.:h: to make it awesome…
His jump H looks pretty good, but he’ll need something like Jam Session to control the airspace that he cannot.
