he is already a solid mid range character
all the changes I can see point towards bumping him to a full screen one
Fair enough. I was asking more along the lines of the viability of his rush down game, or if that part of his game has been too nerfed.
Something has crossed my mind.
What if they made his flight similar to Magneto or Storms. I heard it got buffed, so that would be a good replacement for a double jump I guess. Air Dash cancel flights would make him better, but his air normals are a little to slow on startup compared to magneto and storm. I donāt know if it would help that much.
Also, I think Iron man was great the way he was in vanilla. Just a little undiscovered. If I were to buff him Iād only give his launcher a greater hitbox, reduce the pushback on his normals. Make him be affected less by hitstun deterioration.
^ My Dream.
his flight is already better than magneto and storms
they can cancel air normals into air dashes , and have a unlimited amount of airdahses while flight lasts
i know what you were trying to say though
and i think imās air normals are actually faster than both of them dont quote me on that though
I think they have near the same startup on J.h. but everything else magneto has is faster. But yea. His flight isnāt mobile enough.
well i just checked because i was curious and imās j.l and j.m are quite abit faster than magnetos his j.h is 1 frame slower
the changes in the build are not final so i would not over think things too much. they are trying to improve characters that were not used so i expect iron man to be much more improved later on.
If any IM players go to evo and get a chance to use him in UMVC3 plz post here any changes they felt or notice. I think I read somewhere that they made his fly cancel faster.
his fly cancel is already instantā¦ dont know how it could become faster than that.
-dime
He meant cancel into flight. Or flight start-up.
Ok so apparently nitsuma gave a small list of changes. Chindogg announced them in another thread.
So iron man canāt double jump, but he can dash cancel his air attacks (on block/hit Iām assuming). Similar to doom.
Hmmā¦ we might get a Magneto esque flight combo then. Not bad.
Hmmm, IMās air abare might be a little tighter with a lack of double jump, but the damage output might be a little higher thanks to airdash canceling. Interesting.
Actually, it would help his Abare alot, it would make his air game stronger overall I think. Increase in threat, slight decrease in damage.
I agree, while Iāll really miss the double jump if it ends up not being in the final buildā¦itās a good trade for airdash cancelling. Lil different style to play him, but Iām fine with that, and honestly it might fit my style of fighting better anyway.

thank god he got something !
lab time will defo be sick
magneto style air dashing makes his abare easier.
double jump is still a big loss imo ,
but combos could be comming out his ass
Seems like Iron Man will become a poor manās Magneto with the air dash cancel, hope it will make him competitive. Iām staying with Iron Man and Thor no matter what!
Actually, on 2nd thought, if Iron Man can cancel his air move into dash like Doom, he will be sick! Any random j.m or j.m can be convert into combo, canāt wait!
Imagining Magnusā combos with Iron Man made me lol.
Apparantly Thor 's midair command grabs have greater range.

idk if iron manās fly lasts longer than magneto but magz can get like 7 at max, storm can get 5, idk about doom.
