The Power of Chi! Official Iron Fist thread!

Well, like I said the problem I was having was getting a good air combo in there. Note, I only had my hands on the game for about an hour and I’m going to try and have him ready before tonight, but Jam session pops them in the air at which point I can’t do my BnB. Also, I like that gun shot assist keeps dante out of harms way, but at that point it’s more preference. After I get off work I’m going to see what else works.

What is everyone’s opinion on Iron Fist as an anchor? I’m thinking he’ll fit really well into my Spidey/Dorm team.
I’ve heard he works really well with dorm which would be amazing since Spidey and Dorm are already beast. I definitely cannot wait to try this all out. Still haven’t gotten the game yet :frowning:

Ajtucker, you can use -> H to pop em in the air and go like j. H j. S and then land H, c. H, f. H, QCB H, QCF H. You should do his Trial #10, it will give you an idea of how to combo if you catch an opponent off the ground.

Fist is much better with assists covering him, but his assist is so godlike that it’s also viable to have him last to abuse his assist.

Which assist are you talking about? (If not all of them lol)
Also I guess what I’m asking is how is he as an anchor with XF3? I know he outputs so much damage as it is, I could only imagine with XF3 he’d become a monster.

Yeah, with X-Factor lvl 3 he does A LOT of damage.

I use him as an anchor in my Viper/Dante team, but I like him on point or second with Dante/Wesker or Magneto/Wesker.

I’m also using Dorm and Iron Fist but seeking a third because while Iron Fist deals damage in heaps especially with XFC on hand he still could use some help covering ground against the likes of Doom and Ghost Rider. Doom especially will be a problem because many people will have Doom as anchor since he is such an awesome assist character as well as much more self sufficient now.

I am venturing to guess that Joe is referring to the Dragon Fang (Flying Kick) assist due to the its fast speed and wall bounce mechanics. It seems to me that he is Dorm’s BFF since it acts as another Dark Matter and also extends combos for Dorm.

Came up with a fairly straightforward reset, but I was amazed that it can 100% 850k health characters with NO meter

I’m so glad to hear you say that, hah. Dorm and Spidey are already imo BFF’s so this team I’m thinking up is sounding better and better. CANNOT wait to try it out.
Also, which dorm assist are you using?

Do you think Iron fist on point, with Ryu/Akuma tatsu assist and Strider dive assist is a good team?

Maybe the shoto fireball assist would work better to lock opponent down? Or am I completely wrong, what do you think are the best assists for Iron fist?

Can anyone tell me what Iron Fist is saying during his taunt? Can’t exactly make it out in the videos lol.

arthur! im going to use iron fist/dorm/arthur daggers are great! i noticed that they changed the way they hit in the corner though like usuaully im able to do a simple dorm combo then flamcarpet > dagger assit then the daggers would pop theoppnent up for an airthrow but it didnt wanna worjk for me last night i gotta play around with it

I’m doing something similar but with Iron Fist. Do your normal air chain, then lay the carpet and call out Iron Fist with Dragon Fang assist, he will cause a wall bounce, wait a second and then c. B, S, SJ Air Series, Liberaton, Chaotic Flame. I wouldn’t mind using Arthur as he was actually my anchor back in the early days of vanilla with Wolverine/Dorm/Arthur but it became quickyl apparent he got blown up for to easy. Is Arthur any better in this one?

“They should call you a Zero for Hire”

Haha cool, thanks. :sunglasses:

I think it’s “My Chi is strong”.
he also says “they should call you a zero for hire”

Cool thanks man, can’t wait to pick this up tomorrow!

Wow, I originally wasn’t planning on using Iron Fist, but after seeing Justin blow people up on Marvel Madness it made me want to come back to him.
I’ll be making a teambuilding thread once I pick up the game tomorrow. He’s definitely going to need a projectile assist, anything else he can benefit from?

Was watching this stream that Mr. Sinister posted, Spencer really seems like a good option for an assist:

Really lots of great Iron Fist gameplay.

I’d imagine the grapple assist correct? Probably will make for some great extended combos.

I’m sure there’s more damaging stuff out there, but hidden missiles is really good for Danny’s combos. They allow him to keep his Chi charged the whole time including both supers. I don’t think that’s possible by himself if you want a corner-to-corner combo… not sure of other assists either
