Hellboy Speculation

It'd be lame of NRS to make it something with his gun when he basically already has a trait in his lore with his transformation.

I agree 100 % just me spit balling on how I think NRS will handle it

Think they wanted to keep it closer to the Mignola artwork than the Injustice style.


I was thinking something like Deadshots-U4 gets you a holy water bullet, D4 gets you a shotgun shell deal, B4 gets you a rock-salt bullet, something like that

please for the love of god not U4. That is a nightmare input just thinking about it. Back Forward and Down are good for me.

could you imagine him having multiple steps doing a ritual to then lead up to becoming super powered for the rest of the match (kind of like Necalli V-Trigger or Frank West from MvC3)

For sure, I'm pulling for a transformation based one too. Would be more interesting, I'm just worried he'd be dependent on it and he'll suffer for lack of it, like Grodd

Well hopefully we'd find the setups/optimize the building of it like Cold and realize we've got a great character.

I hope they make him as interesting and unique as they can. So much potential. I trust NRS can do Red justice.

Never thought NRS would actually use Hellboy. I was speechless when I saw the picture. This character can be as shit as Swamp Thing is right now and I am going to be using him damn near exclusively.

I play swamp thing and grodd lmao I have no problem adding another one to the club.

Lol. I am still maining Sub Zero even though pretty much half or more than half of the roster is a bad matchup. I usually have more fun with struggle characters anyway.

Can we talk about how badass this man might look due to the gear system? Hype.

Please be fun Hellboy, please be hype, PLEASE
I am beyond stoked for this character, I love surprises.

MkX Alien's tail range normals PLEASE

I still can't stop thinking about his b3 with the doomfist like come on.
I'm hoping for a bit of zoning, not like Deadshot or Fate but a good projectile or two would be nice.
And pls let his trait be him turning full on demon.

can't wait!

What I see for Hellboy:

-Big character, only Swamp Thing is bigger.
-High damage, no mixups.
-Right arm has great range, Aquaman range but slower but hits harder.
-his Stand 3 is the hardest hitting and is hit-confirmable into his specials.
-Command Throw must MB for launch, scaling is crazy on this so it's not to OP
-Slow projectile, but not so slow it's totally useless
-Doomfist-esque b3, goes half screen.
-Stone hand parry, grants powerup when blocking projectiles, only usable during trait or Super.

Supermove: Release the Beast- Hellboy Transforms into his true form. Changing him into a Grood/Bane type character. Command Throws like crazy can be MB'ed to launch. Slowest walk speed, Slowest and shortest backdash. No Overheads, no Lows, b3, f3 become command throws. No projectiles. This state remains till match is over. Carries over between rounds.

I have many more Ideas but we'll see.

As long as they give him a flying pet cat, I'll be happy

Now if everybody else would simply do the same and optimize their own characters, maybe we wouldn't get shameless crying/downplay about great characters all day every day on tym.

Just a thought.

really cant wait until he's released. Need a character I really like and enjoy regardless of how they play, I need a new Kotal Kahn

What I am thinking is he might have a dc character as a premier skin like Raiden does. I doubt it is going to be Lobo, but I know a chain-cigarette-smoking (remember Hellboy smokes a cigarette rather than his usual cigar in the trailer ), trenchcoat-wearing, occult detective from DC) there might be some difficulties, like his hand of doom thingy, but I think they can change the animations for that with John's demonically powered trench coat doing the dirty work (or some magical shit as they usually do). Plus they could take inspiration from that strange movie adaptation and give him a cross shaped shotgun to perform the moves from Hellboy that will require a gun)
What I am saying is if John Con is in the game at least as a premier skin I am definitely in.

Ive been thinking, his reveal where can catches a rocket might mean he can reflect projectiles

I don't think he will have much moves using his gun. In the comics they point out how clumsy and awkward Hellboy is with guns, he just sort of uses them to get close. I could see him having Superman-esque gun moves, high start-up but good damage. And as long as he has this as a intro;

Hellboy: You know, I'm a lousy shot with this thing...

(someone): (insert generic intro)

Hellboy:...But it does shoot really big bullets.
