General/Other Trident Rush.....argument over

[strange-_-turtle]

Yes push block trident rush Yes

 

[Big Pampering]

Tom Brady claims it sucks.

To be fair you guys are putting words in his mouth now. He never said the move sucks, he just thinks you guys are overrating it a little

 

[Immortal Kombat]

I remember I was at a tournament in like July, and Tom was like in the stream chat bashing me for using rush. I let go because I still sucked regardless and his results were better than mine, but jeez

Yep i remember you making a video of it and its uses. Then people blew you up and i was thinking what fools...

This site is at it's most amusing when everyone is freaking out over something lol

Although I agree trident rush is stupid good I think some people are missing the point of pushblocking it.

Sure, if you pushblock you are losing a bar, but once you pushblock you can either backdash/back walk(depending on which gets you a farther distance) and you are out of the range of most of his dangerous tools(J2 might still hit you, not 100%).

Again, not saying pushblocking makes the tool useless but it at least gives you some breathing room and not having to take 28% chip.

Try using Zatanna, what can she do after a pushblock? Lol she wastes a bar just to not eat 15% chip damage, now what?

 

[-Deadman-]

I remember the days where developers made fighting games where special moves were punishable.

Those were good times

 

[EMPRESS_SunFire]

OMG this trident rush downplaying is worse than the Zatanna community a few months ago.

 

[Zoidberg747]

Does she have a bad backdash and back walk?

Keep in mind I may be totally biased since as Raven all I have to do is pushblock and I can just walk back and SC if he moves.

Yeah, her walkspeed is pretty bad, so is her dash! Her mobility consists on her teleports which are a bad idea against Aquaman.

Maybe I'm lucky enough to play a character that doesnt get blown up by it then.

Aqua is one of my favorite MUs.

The problem is you're not pushblocking because it's too much pressure or to avoid a frame trap. You're pushblocking something that doesn't grant him a frame trap, but you're pushblocking something that does tremendous chip + meter gain.

You could make a read off of pressure, mixups, etc
but with this stupid move, you lose either way. Aquaman is nice and safe with you wasting a bar, while he did some chip and got some meter back. What if you are cornered or close to the corner.
And Walk back, backdash? pfft like that means anything with his amazing reaching normals and safe trait IN CASE he makes a mistake. Not to mention FtD

lol

I didn't know whether this or the slowpoke meme was more appropriate...

Like I said, I dont really struggle with Raven. Maybe I am lucky.

And also as a Zatanna player wasting a bar just to not eat a lot of chip damage while Aquaman builds a lot of meter is horrible, Zatanna's meterbuilding already sucks in this MU, now add that we have to waste bars just to not eat that ridiculous shit.

 

[Mr. Mileena]

Try that.

 

[Zoidberg747]

Try that.

I dont play Zatanna. Ive already said I am biased lol.

 

[Mr. Mileena]

True, but you're kind of missing the point.
Maybe you are lucky, but still, as Aquaman, I WOULD LOVE for Raven to pushblock because Raven can soul crush into MB for a combo and his trait would not work. Without meter, how can raven start a combo?

Please don't say F3 or MB F3

She can't.
As Aquaman, I fear the soul crush because it negates my trait, thus I'd rather the raven burn meter, and if she doesn't, i did massive chip and got 1 bar myself
yay

 

[Syknis]

This move is gdlk because aqua becomes meter god lol by the time it comes around to the end of the match the opponent can't even make a smart clash

I wouldnt start a combo with SC. I would use it to position myself still within SC range but far enough that I can start chucking shadow ravens to gain that meter I lost back.

That is just how I play it though.

So you don't combo him at all when he's unsafe upclose?

I kind of like Trident rush now since it upsets Zatanna players.

 

[Zoidberg747]

No you're right I totally would, my bad haha.

After the combo is done and I soul crush I walk back and zone to build back meter. I dont think I have ever run out of meter as Raven especially in that MU.

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

lol im guessing you played cowboy and he dashed in d1 trident rushed you to death and thats why youre salty against that move.. lol cant blame you

no i do well w zod vs aquaman

its 5-5

Apparently you are not in the "know"

Rico just came back at DTN down 0-2 w black adam to datharma when he picked aquaman and won w d1 trident rush mb

Idc about aqua he doesnt bother me, he's just braindead

 

[B W1zZ]

Cool now I know I can have a pocket aquaman without necessarily being good with the character.
