Donatello General Discussion: "Get ready for gadgets"

I'm still trying to figure out what is the best way to use his forward trait. Sometimes it feels like it hurts him more than the opponent as it moves the opponents normals awkwardly sometimes making them better than they usually are

Usually the opponents will just yolo b3 and sometimes they're on skates and you can't stop it

I think vacuum trait is actually going to be the key to doing stuff with Donnie
That trait is pretty good depending on the character you go against. It messes up people combos and sets up cross ups depending on the distance you set it. It does well against Michaelangelo imo
 
Yeah bf2 is mega unsafe even MB'd so they don't want you throwing it out there. Does good chip and hits a lot of space tho so you might catch someone jumping. I try to never do it to end a combo either as the opponent gets knocked full screen or the last hit will usually whiff leaving you exposed. Ending combos in bf3 allows trait setup or an unexpected b1 on oki. Seems obvious but it works on people for sure kinda like green lantern's early drops and b1 scoop-ups.

I like to setup with the vacuum at different distances and go for a j2 crossup. The vacuum will pull them one way that makes the j2 even more ambiguous, then usually do 21u3 for meterless launch on hit, 21d3 for safe option on block.

And obviously for certain characters the jump mine is just too valuable like against Batman and even darkseid.

Donnie is a ton of fun, I'm really enjoying him.
 
How are you guys playing Donnie? It looks like he is super unsafe on all of his strings and specials.
B223 is plus five so I try and confirm off of that. I’ll end my B3 J2 combos in 13 for a hard knock down and follow up with B1 2 on oki. He has two great options for hoppy characters such as B4 and DB2. Zoners get impatient due to the amount of bar turtling generates. He’s got a few options off of F2 to keep people guessing but your right if they guess correct it’s ggs. Characters super solid and a ton of fun but definitely high risk high reward.

Unfortunately a new tier lower than Grodd exists and Donnatelo is in it. This character seriously has nothing.

Yeah the b2 being a high is just like... what are you doing. bf2 non meter burn should be safe and hit confirmable into meter burn. Why give him all of mikey's weaknesses and non of his strengths.
