I hope Poison is a poke heavy character that can frustrate an opponent because it’ll go well with my Cody pressure strings. Plus I’ll be missing Vega so her poking might make up for it. At least some zoning hopefully…
I think she would make a great partner for Cody. She does have pretty fast pokes and her zoning is pretty decent.
My first team will be Cody and Poison so I’ll make sure to post how their synergy is. But yeah the first second I saw poison I thought " thats girl vega right there! vega with a projectile! nice long reaching pokes plus a final fight character perfect…"
I have loved poison and thought she was underused for years so for her to show up as a poke character with a projectile plus rekkas I almost cried.
if you’re not using Poison/Hugo, you’re doing it wrong
My first team tentative teams are poison/lili and poison/nina
Some people don’t enjoy slow grapple characters. To each their own man.
well after playing her shes actually pretty weird, and not like vega either. she only has a few decent pokes. so imo she isnt really poke heavy, shes more mix up then anything else. you gotta keep your opponent guessing all the time, mostly because her damage output is fairly low~ but she can get knock downs kinda easy so you have to fool around with that. but she doesnt move all over the place like Vega either, actually you want to stay grounded with poison unless you go for a mix up~
if it isnt Poison/Hugo it isnt right? well idk that Poison/King team is looking really good right now~(plus i love the SFxTK team music, its pretty awesome~)
I’m pretty disappointed that Poison’s a low-damage/low-stamina character. Capcom bothers me with how generically frail they make their female fighters.
I was hoping for her to be the muscle in my Poison/Lili team. Oh well…
You’ll probably just need to pair her up with someone who has above average damage/health. Let her poke her way into a hitconfirm then tag your partner in to pump out some damage. No problem.
I’m actually not that hyped for SFxT(not flaming), but I am excited for the drama that will be started by Poison “Dude looks like a lady” (last name)
And then tag back in with Poison for the mixup. Makes me wonder about the potential viability of heavy mixup teams like I’m wanting to do.
umm poison with these minor set backs is pretty interesting to say the least. im itching to get a hold of this game again. to test alot of therioes out, i’ve never been so excited about a game since…FFXIII but w/e im getting XIII-2 sooner then me getting the chance to go in the lab with Poison. she is mix up heavy tho, and you have to be relatively patient with her. but one interesting thing i came up with. ok you get a Untech knockdown say her backthrow right? you walk foward hard fireball, it stays there like a feint for them to block it or put them into blockstun(will vary) as she jumps for a 50/50 mixup.
They’ll probably be VERY viable, considering the possible rewards said mixups will lead to.
I should’ve asked this earlier, but where exactly are Poison’s mixups? Is it all the overheads she has?
And on Poison being low damage and health, doing the opposite would definitely perpetuate the trap status.
Her command overhead lets you combo from it for a full combo and finishing her combos with her flip kick leaves the opponent in a sweet spot in which you can do ambiguous mixups for yet another combo - might be a mini-vortex of sorts.
Sure, we still need to know how well that’ll work out in the long run - specially with wakeup tag cancelling - but considering what we know now she has a scary mixup potential by herself.
Wait wait wait, the hard fireball is the one that stays there for a while or is it the light one? What are the exact properties of her fireball strengths?
Every time someone comments about this I hear something different. Talk about conflicting info.
Please do the same for UMvC3.
Humpski can you do that for karin?! XD
Aren’t there already like 2 Karins on Twitter trying that?
Besides, Ono and Harada stopped responding to RP accounts after a few of them got nasty.
