Green Arrow Pre-Release General Discussion Thread

[AeroGrunt]

Now that we finally got our own long-awaited subforum, let's get some heated conversation going!

 

[RagsTheGoat]

I played GA terribly in Ij1. So my scrubbiness tells me to just play him again.

 

[Azarashi Elder]

Okaaay... Now that I've found the proper forum to post this question in:

Boxing glove Arrow, Gear or no?

Does anybody have the answer?

Not yet but I'd bet on not gear. We will just have to wait til k&m's arrow video. Or @PND_Ketchup can give us an early answer.

 

[SoundsLikePAUSE]

Boxing Glove arrow is not gear. It's confirmed part of his base moveset.

 

[PND OmegaK]

Boxing glove is just mb non trait arrow and hits for chunky damage.

 

[AeroGrunt]

You can see the Boxing Glove arrow and more in action at 5:26 in the video.

Best news I've heard all day

 

[AeroGrunt]

I'm super excited to see all the visual gear customization for GA, so far I feel we've seen very little.

He has some Roy shit.
A trucker hat.

And shaders change his arrow colors.
So Red Arrow lol

I like how we still haven't seen one shot of him with his hood on.

Wow, that looks awesome. I'm sure most would disagree, but I like the New52 Trucker hat Roy. lol

Is the Red Arrow look a shader or a premiere skin? I heard talks of a Red Arrow skin a while back. I hope he has plenty of color options other than just different greens.

That's just a shader for him.

Sweet, where can I see that video?

Small glimpse of some of GA's frame data. Hurricane Bow is safe on block when MB. Only -2. Also, range of all of his normals seem a lot better now that he no longer incorporates the hunting knife and just uses his bow. Video shows damage of boxing glove arrow too outside of a combo. It's a good chunk.

 

[Nexallus]

Green Arrow has quite some mobility while his arrows are nocked on the bow when compared to his injustice 1 counterpart. His normals seem to have more range as well.

 

[Devils Britches]

Here is his breakdown from stream. Safe to say he is better than injustice 1

Wonder how the startup is on his normals.

Safe to say being able to backdash and put away arrows is a huge quality of life upgrade.

Having an mb launcher is big and I'm sure adds damage to ice arrow combos. Happy to blow bar on this considering we still have savage blast to make it back. I wasn't that impressed by the electric arrows. Also the stream failed to note that ice arrow no longer restands.

I'm skeptical about GA vs all the super zoners in the cast but I'm guessing if you make sure to trade w boxing glove then forward dash or fire arrow after, he will hold his ground alright

 

[SoundsLikePAUSE]

I'm actually going to miss the ability to dash cancel arrows but that's just personal preference. I'm sure this new way is much more effective in the long run.

 

[shaowebb]

Oh man I am stoked for Green Arrows return.

• improved damage
• can dash with an arrow drawn
• electric arrow now actually causes so much stun it floats folks juggled into it long enough to follow up
• stubby range strings replaced with more ranged strings
• can put an arrow away once drawn to use later with flip stance button
• can use MB character power for boxing glove arrow that is advantage on block, super fast, causes huge knock back and is so hard hitting no one will trade vs it and it can be put away to use mid string once you MB call it forth
• MB bow spin for launcher

This dude's issues with weak damage, stubby limbs, no zoning trade wins, few combo strings and few launchers are mitigated now IMO. Can't wait to use him some more.

Now you can just put it away then dash, which is nearly the same thing.

There's a lot of backdash baits we can probably do now thanks to this change

 

[Nexallus]

I will be very dissapointed if they change any of these before launch. Regardless, Green Arrow looks sick in this game.

 

[Phased]

I dislike that his back 2 string now hits overhead on the second hit, and that ice arrow leaves the opponent air-borne if hit in the air...and no more super resets

hopefully the improvements far outweigh the negatives

 

[Dankster Morgan]

Dude Green Arrow looks sick
