Glacius is the weakest in the game!

I guess you are right but even if it did hit it wouldnt help much tbh bc he has no standing overheads.

PM me your gt.
Well here's how I'm came across it, usually people will hold up back to beat Ice Shatter after Shadow Hail. So I thought well maybe I can do cr.mp~shoulder to get a full combo. But people still manage to block the low too. And it looks kinda funny too, your opponent will be standing the whole time and the second the low makes contact the character will snap to a crouching position. It almost looks like they just guarded it or something.

My GT is my username. ll Nooby ll :)

Yes but you still have the unblockable! if your opponent has no meter and in the corner you get a guaranteed unblockable.( the stages are really small too)
remember glacius is not a high low mix up char, he is more about set ups and keep away game which is OK from full screen.

I see him more of a ares teleport shitty normals shit wakeups.... etcetera
No, if you really like him hit the lab and grind out matches, you will lose at all but it will pay off. If you dont like him as much just pick an easier char like Sabrewulf.
 
Glacius is basically Lex

He zones not by keeping you full screen, but controlling your movement by polluting the screen with probes (hail), ground traps (shatter) and screen-covering jump attacks.

He can't rush down, but can activate a trait (instinct) that gives him armor so he can pressure you.

His ground normals such as standing 3 (f. Mp) are slow but have huge range, which is great for catching those dashing in on him.

He has a big hitbox which makes it difficult to defend against air assaults, but decent AA normals to make up for it.

His zoning tools have slow startup, but once he gets going the opponent finds it impossible to move- and he builds mountains of meter off it.

You haven't been the nicest guy on these forums yourself, so don't blame people for giving you shit(which they aren't)
I'm not a 13 years old girl, I dont care if they give me shit. I just wish they stayed on topic. this thread was never about me and I explained many times!

Agreed.

How do u get a guaranteed unblockable. After Shadow Hail?

like do F+MP cold shoulder cancel into shadow hail and do shatter just practice the timing. but only in the corner and if the opponent has no shadow meter.
I thought they made it so if you tried do shatter while they're still in block-stun, the shatter is block able. I'm trying to do this but I can't get it to work.

Barring some sort of glitch in the system mechanics I don't know about it's not possible to get a guaranteed unblockable shatter. If the shatter connects while they're in blockstun they will simply block the move. If they're not in blockstun that means they could have jumped away from the shatter

Yeah thats what I thought. Hence why cr.mp could be a mixup.

Where art thou, MKX Skarlet?
THIS ISNT ABOUT ME, HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY IT?

Is like MK players that dont play SF4 trying to tell sf4 players that Dhalsim has no losing MUs and that maybe they are lacking fundamntals.

Look I get that vagrant is your friend and he call for your help but you dont really know what we are talking about since you dont play the game.
...you're so weird. Vagrant "called me for help"? What a bizarre perception of TYM you have. I read threads, and yours sounded interesting so I came in here. @Vagrant <3<3<3 thanks for the PM about this thread (shit, I shouldn't have written that...the secret's out!)

Your analogy doesn't work. Here's a more accurate one - this is like going into the Skarlet forums and making a thread called "Skarlet loses 2-8 to Kano and Jade" without showing matchup footage to prove it but instead listing scenarios where something you've tried hasn't worked vs a Kano or Jade and you got summarily smoked. Those of us who play Skarlet know that that statement is quite a big one and while we'd be highly skeptical, if you showed matchup footage showing why it is you're making that statement we'd be open minded to seeing what you mean.

As it stands, you're just saying "Glacius sucks. Accept it because I said so" + a lot of theory fighting. Theory fighting has never been, and never will be, a valid way to argue a point in fighting games.

The most likely truth to this post is "I get my ass handed to me when I play Glacius and I think I'm a really good player so, in order to satisfy my ego and prove to myself I'm awesome, I'm going to try to get TYM to back me up so that I don't have to change and get better"...and that's fine. Just...next time...ask for help or for us to review your match footage to tell you what we think you could improve on.

Everyone else, respond at your own risk to PostHuman. This is my last one in this thread.

You have to wait till he gets out of blockstun but since they can jump back or no meter you will hit them.

I do well online tbh and I would challenge you to MM me but you dont play the game.

I never said I was really good just pointed out Glacius weaknesses.

Ive played sf4 since it came out till 2011 when mk9 came out and I still play it once in a while. I have been playing fighters since the 90s my fundamentals are fine.

Im not asking for help btw.
