Any forward momentum projectile assist that can hold an opponent in place (triple arrows, unibeam etc) or a forward moving lock down assist (Vergil, frank west) are pretty good for fist, as he can wave dash with/ behind the beams to cover his advancing. Moves like dr strange’s eye or dark hole face the trouble in that you have to already be close to use the correctly. Spencer and if really do work well together, which is great because that was my choice and anchor and point respectively. Right now I’m just trying to figure out who to you for my second
Seems like Spencer and Doom compliment Iron Fist well, grapple and missles both extend combos and get people out of the air.
Strider just goes well with everyone aha
AHH, I can’t wait till Friday. Need that Lab time with Iron Fist.
Who’s gonna make the Team/Matchup thread? Can you please call it Game of Death, Enter the Dragon or The Power of Free? lol
I don’t think it’s a matter or priority, but of frame advantage. The man is a frame trap machine. I’m going to try to work it in against faster characters that are used to being able to punish.
Don’t know if anyone already asked, but after watching something where you use the crumple, you have enough time to even hard tag in someone without DHC’ing and extend a combo. Would hard tag do anything special like reset damage scaling, hit stun, etc.?
Not that I’m aware of, it’s just style points lol
The Power of Free? I like it! I was gonna name it Chi’s Company, lol.
hey my friend wants to learn iron fist and he can do some of the combos but he cannot get in what so ever to do them. Any tips? he also uses trish and CapAmerica
That’s a key thing for all Iron Fist players is to get in as Advanced Guard is a weakpoint of his. To sustain his pressure game, kara cancelling his s.H or fs.H into rekka is the way to go. There’s a video in the video thread here that will explain that and other stuff for Iron Fist. As for assists, I don’t think Trish well help well. C.America can benefit though with his Shield Slash. In my personal opinion, switching Trish with a beam assist from Doom or Iron Man would be the way to go.
Yeah, doesn’t reset scaling at all. Not sure about hit stun, but since damage doesn’t reset I’m pretty sure hit stun doesn’t either
We also have Freests of Fury, Sfreerit of the Dragon, Crescent Freel, Freero for Hire and it goes on lol
Since you can’t push block assists, ones like Chun-Li’s legs or Frank’s shopping cart will be very useful.
Really like Iron Fist, he’s got some awesome combos. Struggling to get in on people in matches though but I’ll keep at it!
Ok I’m using IF/ Sent / (not sure yet of last character yet).
I have been mainly using Sent because I can kill virtually any character that has 900k health if I touch them with IF. . .the problem is touching them lol. No Xfactor either.
It involves the hard tag mechanic after his crumple that doesn’t reset the scaling but it makes hitting the combo really simple. Should I post it in the other thread or post it here?
Shopping Cart is so sick for Danny!
Also, you don’t need the hard tag to make 900k+ damage with Iron Fist, you just gotta carry them to the corner and link Fists of Fury into Spirit of the Dragon, it will take around 950k starting without power up and 1,25kk starting powered up
Watching Justin Wong’s Iron Fist brings a tear to my eye. Soooooo good!
I really like that Frank assist. . . .covers the one problem I’m having which is mixing people up and holding them still to allow a mix up lol
WOW, I was just about to come here and say. I’m having REAL troubles with iron fist on opening people up, as my teams have consisted of him, and doom, with either wesker, arthur, or haggar. All of which the third wasnt going so well, but now i hear frank is a good compliment. I shall try him later, then come back here to complain. I will also NOT use sentinel, idk if he works. (he prolly does) But in games I dont use characters I absolutely hate.
Why not have a Team Building thread for Iron Fist? Dr. Strange has one.
Currently, I am running the following: Iron Fist, Sentinel, Dr. Doom. I will probably switch out Sentinel for Frank though, I was originally trying to use Ghost Rider as a part of my time, but his assists always pop the opponent in the air so it was a bad fit.
