Glacius Mains and what you think of him?

Vulcan Hades

Champion
From the couple of images I've seen Spinal is indeed starting to look like a zoner. But more mid-range oriented than fullscreen.

He uses his magic shield and tentacles to keep attackers out and control space. I'm assuming he will be able to absorb attacks/reduce chip, deflect fireballs and possibly parry.

I wonder if he'll still have his teleport. But personally I hope his Instinct will enchant his sword and/or his shield with different properties. :)

So is Glacius like the only zoning character in this game?

I understand, but none of them seem to be powerful zoners. KI seems to be all about rush down with Glacius being the exception. Glacius is looking more and more appealing to me, but I'll wait to see what type of characters Spinal and Fulgore turn out to be.

Whats your take on sadira?
She is really good, she has a air projectile.
Sadira's Widow's Bite is her aerial projectile move. If the opponent manages to block her Widow's Bite (heavy version) then she'll be in a very punishable state.

Yeah, her Web Cling can be punishable if the opponent reacts to it quick enough. That's why it's important to use that move mostly for spacing purposes (and for mix up potential also).

my first impressions of Orchid is that she is kinda well balanced like a female Jago but I quickly found all her specials that lead to combos punishable pretty easily. Maybe you need to throw out a tiger everytime to make safe....? idk just a few matches i had against her

All of this sound really interesting. I don't recall him having a teleport. That would be amazing.

Hmm... On the Orchid topic, Sadira can be full combo punished from the Web cling and the Divekick. With Glacius you can puddle punch on reaction or just block and punish. It sucks that I don't have an xbox one but I am able to play at the Microsoft store and come up with new tech like Orchid meaty setups that stuff wakeups and high/low meaties as well :D

In my time with the game last night, I picked up Jago (dojo mode) and Orchid pretty quickly... I gave Glacius a shot because my friend was trying to learn him and he is WAY harder to use than the other two I played. He has no dash :confused:

When people figure out Glacius setups the character is going to be just dumb. His instinct combined with unblockable pillars is just gonna fuck shit up.

I started to get more In control w him tonight but I completely agree

Jago felt like butter to me and GLACIUS at first felt like rust
 
Can't wait to play more Glacius when i get my X1 next week, interesting how he's the only character without a forward or backdash, but i'm sure there's good reason for that :p
Man to be honest dash or not he's a bitch to deal with especially with a character like saber. I could be playing the character wrong but I haven't beat a glacious yet.
