I really don't understand why everyone thinks Metallic is so bad. He has low and over head launchers and a meterless pseudo vortex with his lava restands. I mean yeah, gold is just variation less with up nugget but lava is extremely good with the restand and low launcher.

Crystalline has an armored EX low launcher that beats 90%+ of all moves in the game and leads to good damage.

Crystalline has a meterless pseudo vortex using the flex as the wake up attacks of the majority of characters are nullified.

Crystalline has superior zoning, offense, and defense.

Ever since the universal normalizations, Tremor has become a one variation character.

Those low/overhead launchers have distinct weaknesses though. The low and overhead are slow and the overhead is punishable. They also create gaps that can be armored through. Depending on the string and character it can interrupted. The low boulder can be jumped over, the overhead can be backdashed, etc.

The other variations just seem to provide better matchups, especially now after the changes.

Man when tremor came out I thought metallic was dope. Then I never tried him. Then he got nerfed.

After watching that combo vid. And potential tremor buffs coming, I need to try this out.

So I picked up Tremor very recently, and I know the general consensus is that Metallic is the worst of them. However I find him the most fun of the 3. So since pretty much no one uses Metallic of the relatively small number of Tremor players, I was hoping I could get some help. Although I will take any advice for his other variations as well. Thanks!

Cookie combos are your friend.

In lava form you can hit a bf4 off of f12 as a punish, once the first cookie hits you can hit 3 more into 123~shatter for a restand. 36% meterless midscreen. most of its unbreakable.

b32 also goes into bf4, but its space dependant. best used in the corner, but if you have the spacing right it works midscreen too. 39% meterless restand off of b32.

Lastly, you can do 3 bf4 instead of 4 of them and get an xray in there, its like 43% all unbreakable. The only chance to break is the 2nd hit of f21, super early in the combo. If they dont have the meter for breaker or just simply dont realize that they need to do it so early then its good fucking night

Thanks! I'm already starting to apply cookies to my gameplan (I don't know why I never used them before!).

Cookies do so much work. they are only like -5 as well, but under some circumstances the enemy can jump or poke out if they read it so youll want to mix it up a bit, throw some shatter cancels in there too.

Both the overhead punch and cookies are fairly reactable, offline for sure. you wanna try to catch people off guard by varying it up, if they keep blocking the cookie do a shatter cancel into a throw, or an overhead punch, or if you have meter to spare (tremor always has meter) you can do a flash parry with Ex rock punch cancelled into b3.

If people are respecting you too much throw the lava ball, bf2. Its hella plus on block so if some derp lets you do it and blocks it then its still your turn

Tremors glaring weakness is a lack of good mids. If you can shatter restand at point blank then you negate that problem by forcing them to block the highs after the restand.
