Ok, not let me get back on topic… Phoenix in Vanilla was just a joke, clearly. At least in this version, she definitely can’t run away as good as she had before. But, as I expected as soon as they announced that change to Phoenix, Dark Phoenix is going to be played completely horizontal from now on. I remember seeing FChamp just doing the projectiles and teleports on the ground the whole time he had Dark Phoenix and he was pretty much the same broken garbage that we have all become to hate. But even with that, whenever FChamp didn’t have Phoenix out there, he was showing that he was legit with some pretty good Dorm and Magneto tech. Its a very high risk or reward thing IMO, but I think it’s more reward than risk, considering the fact that its not as easy to kill the character that comes in after a snapback. Also the fact that building meter isn’t that tough in a game like this. Then you consider the fact that if you’re going to use Phoenix, you’re most likely going to have at least one character that is strong @ zoning (Dorm for FChamp), so while they’re playing keep away, they’re building meter at the same time. Even with all of that said, Phoenix got some much deserved nerfs, so she definitely is not on ST Akuma’s level. It was just a mistake for the producers to include the type of character that she is into the game…
Nice opinion, but it still the same as everyone else who doesn’t want her in because of what she can do. In my opinion, capcom did a decent job. If anyone faces a Dark Phoenix in Ultimate, they can’t really bitch or complain now since they didn’t stop her from becoming dark. The game has new tools now to stop her.
