Nero is a DMC character with potential to make the fighting game scene hate the cast of DMC like they do Zero in every fighter he shows up in. I mean seriously:
Skrull command grabs that lead into full combos. Mind you he can use these in the air and as a means of transportation.
Chargeable gun with knockdown/wallbounce properties (aptly named a Buster at that)
Dante-lite sword normals but with more wild/frantic swings
Devil Trigger that gives him a phantom sword swing that’s like Vergil’s or better for every regular sword swing he takes, sword/disc like projectiles that fire every time he goes ranged, health regen,
Self EXs boosting the power or properties of his sword swings/projectiles with Revs
Putting a character like that in the Capcom VS. team’s hands is like giving an inmate a gun and asking him not to try and break out with it.
Actually, lolno. Technically, the tiers were generally considered to be this:
S Tier: Amy, Metal Sonic, Alt Sonic
A Tier: Sonic, Alt Shadow
B Tier: Shadow
I don’t remember if the difference between the hedgehogs had to do with the supers (ring attacks) or maybe Sonic had the Bounce from single-player (Shadow never learns Bounce or Magic Hand), but Amy was definitely top because you heard “Just wait a minute!” and the screen froze every time she got to 20 rings. The freeze lasted 30 seconds, 15 if you mash (and there’s no reason not to) but still, that’s a ton of time considering she can easily pop that 5+ times per stage. So while I don’t believe she could spin dash, that more than made up for it.
Metal Sonic was kinda so-so. Some people thought he was broken, others thought he was horrible. I personally believe he’s the very lowest tier due to the lack of a spin dash. If you look up tier lists, you’ll see some people vouch that he’s DABES; while he’s certainly a boss, I see no argument that can be made for him that he isn’t thew worst in the game.The only possible thing is that he keeps moving in a straight line during Amy’s time stop move if he had his black shield up. I could be wrong about that though. While good in concept, he still lost 1v1 to all of the other characters, so that makes him D Tier… right?

Look at this TAS speedrun for example. Yes, it’s not likely that multiplayer runs will be anywhere remotely close to this. But it still proves a very important point; almost all of the speed that can be achieved is done through either spin dashing, bouncing, or dashing through rings (I forget what it’s called). Metal Sonic can’t do any of these, and he doesn’t even get boss supers like Amy’s to show for it.
Amy was so fucking busted in SA2 versus modes. Never mind the time freeze special she would get, how about her having a higher speed cap and acceleration rate than fucking Sonic of all people? That one versus stage with the rail grinding in the pyramid was almost banned in my house because Amy could be halfway through the stage by the time you get into the min pyramid and then of course, TIME FREEEEZE.
Guess chasing after Sonic all those years helped prime herself. lol
The curious thing would be how would Nero’s EX moves work? Would he have his own EX bar? Would he be able to rev-charge? If he didn’t have an EX bar, but he could rev charge, how much meter would he build for rev charging?
I just figured they’d be his character specific ATK+S move and he’d get to cancel certain moves into it a la Bold Move. They’d probably be a separate thing and 3 stock at most just like in the games. Not to bad to implement.
Yeah but metal sonic’s shield blocked everything and he moved faster when using it. Also im pretty sure Amy had to use that bloom attack first before that 30 sec thing.
I loved Metroid Prime 1 to death. I didn’t like the atmosphere of Prime 2 anywhere near as much as the first one. The third one was good, it was actually the first one I played out of the series, believe it or not.
