Because you know the BA and batgirl matchup inside out, right?
Yes I play BA, Lobo, Batgirl, Flash, Sinestro and Aquaman. (mainly flash, BA and batgirl).
Ermac dissapeared because noone wanted to play him, it took 1 greek player to discover everything he has, otherwise ermac would be considered D tier.
Metzos wasn't at Big D level with Ermac imo. But nevermind. I believe what I see and I've not seen as much ermac as Kabal/Cyrax/Kunglao in high level tournaments. And to answer to your quote, do you think that made Ermac A+ tier ?..
So cdjr and dizzy play the character? Only means they don't spend that much time on the character, I know cdjr never posts any tech here, dizzy himself said that flash will take a long time to be discovered and understood, I don't get how you can categorise him so fast as if you've jumped a year forward...
Dude just ask yourself why top 10 is overused and why no one play shit tier in major. One day, you guys using such argument have to figure out why people (and I'm not talking about casuals) don't spend that much time on bottom characters.. Also, I'm agree with Dizzy, a tier list may change with what we discovered but it won't change that much, unless a patch is changing shits.
I'm saying JC required footsies, I didn't say anything about chip, jailing or dashing.
Yes, that's why I did. Talking about one single thing, and comparing mk9 char with injustice to generalize the metagame of a char is useless. Trust me, Flash has nothing to do with JC, not more than Lobo or Bane.
Obviously we gotta play footsy, and that's what every char of this game need to do anyway (and I guess in every fighting game). No more, no less. Thx for helping us. x)
No, 60%, time slowdown (BA can do 55% with a 8sec more usefull trait), 3/4 screen projectile punishes (try to punish a deathstroke gun fire in midscreen with the charge, and watch what will happen, it's punishable on paper, not in real game unless he doesn't block), oki setups, spacing setups, safe 50/50s and excelent wallcarry are godlike.
Ok, this :
I wouldn't say bad but he has holes in his gameplay. His overhead string f21 can be ducked and punished on block, his EX LC can be ducked and punished on block, b22f3 sometimes whiff on crouch block, seeing any patterns yet? Crouching really does hurt this character and all of his "mids" whiff at one time or another and will get punished if the player knows the matchup. I'm not saying he's bottom 5 but if they fixed his mid hitting strings he would be sooooo much better.
He just forgot to talk about chip, wagger, and pushblock.
b2, 2 is one of the best string of the game. The fact is that b2, 2, or b2, 2, f3 can rdm whiff against crouching opponents. It's also 15 frame startup, so you won't punish shit properly with that string after using a smart backdash.
Tom brady was right saying this char isn't as shit people make him out to be. He just requires thought.
Maybe, but until now, it's actually the Flash players who the most downplayed their own main and that you call "scrubs" who are exploring Flash deeper than anyone else. Just remember that, they aren't downplaying their char for good or bad results, but simply because at high level, if you know the matchup, Flash won't be as good as the other 20 characters. They are maybe downplaying him, but at least they love their char and keep working on him and you gotta respect that.
Other people coming here and throwing tomatoes on them just because they aren't agree won't help.
If you think Flash can be top 10 using unexplored strategies, what I'll be glad with, so come and prove us wrong (no irony here).
Until then, the kommunauty and what we see in major seem to confirm what some good flash players are saying for ages. Overacting/underacting is nothing without facts.
Good stuff. Lets work together on these match ups..
