Question Lobo's Oct. 1st Upgrades

[ABACABB]

Its amazing now. Its really fills one of the glaring holes he had in his game. Hes pretty much a complete character.

yeah , ive tried him out when he was released and man .... he was so bad , but now .... Hes badass lol
His hook charge is very good too , its like nightwolfs shoulder from mk but better

Now he can stay at mid range and mix charge , low chain and when they respect it you can start to grab If they run he got shotgun now , they jump ? his standing 3 works great as AA . So hes complete .
Only thing I dont like is that to combo from his low starter you need 2 bars ( I know you can d1 but how often will you land it ? one of ten times ? ) Also his overhead starter b2 should be faster imo .

He still requires a bit of risk taking but considering he can mix you up with lows into overheads ,lows into lows overheads into overheads, overheads into lows is a fair trade i think. Hes now has an amazing wake up which can be made safe and armored with a bar. He has tick throw set ups. He has great oki potential both up close and at jump range. And now hes a threat from further than half screen. I played him a lot when he came oit but dropped him for grundy. Now ill be dropping grundy for him and my three mains will be batgirl mmh and lobo.

About comboing from his low starter this is where stage selection helps . Pick a stage like fortress or wayne mannor that has a massive area to z axis bounce off the environment. Those environment bounces are much better after the patch.

 

[Lord Hollow]

Not only is it 21% but the second shot wont even connect if you are outside traitless pump shot range.

That's what I thought. I thought I was reading his post wrong. Jay is completely correct.

My 2 bar interactable combo using the background bounce... does 68% now.

Which is really my only complaint right now. I wish we had a little 1/2 to know how many shots we had. In the thick of it i bet ive reloaded when i didnt need to or lost damage cause i thought i had 2 shots when i had 1.

Would you say fortress is his best stage?

Just saw a report from Flagg and checked this.​

​

jaym7018 stay calm and lets all keep it civil when folks act up or are incorrect. Just prove em wrong and report insults.​

Flagg Im issuing you a warning point for insulting other members. Whatever got said to you was due to flame baiting. We dont call folks names here...it incites people to use all caps. But thanks for calling my attention anyways to stop this...you were just in the wrong is all. Stay calm next time and be more open when folks say you are wrong and try to lab it out with them to reach a joint conclusion.​

​

Move along and try to be more mature about getting things wrong in the lab and disagreements.​

​

Keep Calm​

and​

Lobo​

I was calm and civil till i got called a prick unprovoked. Thank you for being fair.

No problem. I saw that and agreed.

BTW I got my local Superman player saying he would start playing Lobo after the patch came out and some lab time with him was had. Superman players going Lobo? Ah yiss.

 

[Chaosphere]

Would you say fortress is his best stage?

Hm... I dunno. I don't mind fortress. He probably gets even bigger combos starting from the left hand side of the stage. For some reason I just really enjoy gotham rooftop. Fortress could be better though.

I imagine there will be a lot of character shuffling over the next couple weeks. Before the patch i mained manhunter batgirl and grundy. Now ive dropped grundy for lobo, now that his gameplay matches his swagaliscious back walk i couldnt leave him on the bench.

Sometimes its the aethetics gotham roof is one of the best looking stages. When i play lobo i pick wayne manor cause i like its look better than fortress. The gotham alley has to much nonsense for gadget characters

 

[Rathalos]

Aesthetically, Lobos MB pump shot is one of my favorite looking and sounding moves in the game, so I'm pretty glad I get to use it more.

Very happy with how Lobo came out.

Now, just need that one costume where he is wearing a western duster, and we will be set.

 

[Cage Redfield]

Here's what Lobo can do in the 1.06 patch. The purpose of this video is to clear up any misconceptions about Lobo that any of you guys might've had going into the patch. There's also some new stuff here, so be sure to check it out and see how you can expand on it.

Spoiler

NOTE: remember your spacing. Don't waste a shot trying to punish something and fail because you were too far. This list will comprise of tools the opponent would be able to keep you out/attack from a distance with pre-patch, but is now punished by trait pump shot. If you think I've missed any character that should be on this list, let me know immediately and I'll add them.


Deathstroke: High and Low gunshots
Superman: Air Lasers (instant air lasers are punished as well)
Raven: Soul Crush
Bane: Charge*
Aquaman: From The Deep and Trident Throw
Killer Frost: Iceberg
Black Adam: Black Magic and non-MB divekick
Sinestro: non-MB Fear Blast, Shackles and Impact Event
Zod: Trait Grab

* if you have 2 shells, you can react and MB Pump Shot him back to full-screen, breaking his armor in the process.

Lord Hollow Jaku2011 Chaosphere Red Venom JustPressingButtons and everyone else

EDIT: notations for the combos in the video

first combo: b2u1, 113 xx czar toss mb, b3, f21 xx hook charge (53%)
second combo: b12 xx mb b3, j2, j2, 12 xx space hook (54%)

 

[jaym7018]

I never even noticed the speed of the blinking.

 

[Jaku2011]

I actually haven't played any lobo since the patch lol

 

[jaym7018]

I really gotta throw my hat in wayne manor is lobos best stage being able to background bounce in either part of the stage really helps him. Plus you got the car in the driveway.

That's impressive Cage, I've got a lot of catching up to do.

 

[Danger317]

Here's a lil tidbit. The regular shot can be ducked even when you mb it, but if you do the mid df1b(mb) it hits as mid and guarantee's both shots hit at the loss of only 2% damage. So even if they duck they at least take chip damage. Where as if you do the regular one you can duck the first shot and jump over the 2nd

yeah thats why its high shot and mid-shot. Glad to know you know about high's and mid's in this game.

 

[Jaku2011]

Man that wasn't even clever but I laughed at Cage Dickfield anyway.

 

[Cage Redfield]

Just sayin a decent player is going to know to duck the shots especially when you have nuke shells.

I don't think it'd be a good idea to just shoot high shots with reckless abandon unless it's for a chip victory or something like that. Pump Shot High is more of a quick full screen punish, kinda like From The Deep or Black Magic (range isn't as good, but it's there). If I wanted to shoot my trait, I'd use it on mid shots or low shot in the mix-up game.

 

[jaym7018]

You cant lay out a blunt insult then edit it out of the post , thats not cool. Stand by your insult.

 

[Lord Hollow]

High Pump shot jails to 2,1, so even if they try to duck the Pump shot after blocking the overhead, they still take the block damage and stun, even when they duck.
