It could've been buffed without touching GM with exclusive sword strings though. I was (and still am) surprised by the decission of instead of adressing his flaws making the mixups stronger (while also making his safe non-mixup strings unsafe, he got some specific nerfs that mostly only Cryo mains realize how important they were), still too early to judge but I keep thinking I woul've been happier in the current meta with a sword starting string and air hammer being useful in the neutral (like a ground pound or something... instead it went from horrible move to even worse as most characters have multi-armor anyway and the armor break wasn't even that rewarding before the meta change).
It's not a bad thing, he just isn't top 5 like everyone thinks imo
read this in cody's voice lmao... I mis Cody ;_;
Same here man... Same here
To me he got nailed, lost armor for hammer and bomb, lost his cold blooded cancelability, all he need was a faster f1, d1 and d2, I would have preferred if they would have just left him alone, but I am just a average player at best and not like you hi quality playing folks who true,y know the insides and out of the game
I think he is way better now, but he is just a totally new character now
I don't think you guys even know what top 5 means anymore.
All of that got nerfed in this patch
His what? You mean D4 checks?
You are 100% correct, his damage has been sacked down, took away what I considered his signature move cold blooded cancelability into ex hammer, did nothing for the best d2 in the game, way to slow, so no change, and please correct me if I am wrong but go lab his f33 into hammer, ex hammer, burst and bomb, if the f33 get blocked, there is a gap now into the special, mainly with hammer and ex hammer and he gets royally nailed, full kombo punish, and that did not happen prior to the patch, they should have left him alone or just given him a faster d1, d2 and f1, and lose the anal puncture and anal assault, this is just my opinion and at best iam an average player, but day one I saw that he got screwed over completely, bring back my COLD BLOODED mother fuckers, I had so much fun with that kombo
But the thing is prepatch he has CRAZY meterless damage, now he has decent damage. His damage is still viable its just not as crazy
F33 always had a hige gap on special cancel, you could always jump over the hammers on reaction after a block and there was a gimmick to bait armor using F33 into EX Hammer because it was so slow that the opponent's armor would hit first, your armor would absorb it and then you would launch him.
Wtf? A top 5 character
But what does that mean though?
Apparently I don't know, but I'd imagine it's one of the 5 best characters.
You are absolutely correct, I forgot about the armor for ex hammer, and that it would absorb and then the opponent would still get launched, thanks for reminding me, in your,opinion who is better cryo or gm at this point
@Lokheit i've been thinking about the cmd throw more. Honestly without bar, its better to just normal throw. Sure they can tech and it does 1% less, but its 6f faster, and has a tonne less recovery.
Yeah lately I've been thinking that too, both are duckable anyway and the damage difference is even lower than 1 (just 0.5 as decimals counts). The main advantage as you said is the post hammer guaranteed jump but unless you're using it for the armor on the EX one, you could eat a jab into combo in the process. I'm not used to command grab characters and at first my mindset was "I should be throwing with the exclusive move" but the regular throw being much faster is still a tool that you have to use.
Thanks for the reply, who do,you thinks is honestly better cryo or gm from a cumulative aspect of game play
GM is still the best imo
