    They know how to make one. They made Bane. They just don’t want to. Probably them being against projectile collisions too. They just don’t want to.

    Can’t believe she doesn’t have a command throw. Like... they say she’s a grappler except she isn’t. It’s mk9 all over again with air throw and crouch throw only

    Haven’t gotten to lab yet with her. Really sad air throw is not universal. I have to choose between v1 and v3

    Swamp Thing Matchup Discussion Thread

    I'm going to evo with zero actual play against human experience with this game. Time to see if this old man can still sing it with experience alone. I'll message cries for help on matchups as I need them. Mercy assistance greatly appreciated. Swamp thing can low profile block and D3 a lot of...

    Swamp Thing Matchup Discussion Thread

    Given the reason people think ST is bad due to backdash/backwalk/jumpback, is there any way we can punish this behavior? It seems Vine Grab would be good against the first 2... on paper... I need all your strength for Evo people... GIVE ME HOPE... PLEASE!!!

    Red hood I feel is disgustingly hard. Deadshot lame but in a runaway vs keep away disgusting. Blah!

    Yes. It's a good tick throw setup assuming the j1 and d2 are blocked. I'm just having some difficulty reacting to the block animation. Ideally I only do the throw if they block the j1. Maybe I'm getting old and slowing down

    Wait, mb tree is back 3? Or forward 3?

    Anyone find any hidden buffs for swamp thing in the patch? Cold got a better MB ice wall. I'm hoping the thang got something?

    That does it. Broken tech or not, swamp thing for evo 2017 or bust! I'll see you all there at top 8... in the spectators circle. The meaty log is good, but do we have something that makes them not tech? Is trait after 11 into In fast enough?

    Note that your vid shows a cross-up. Is your non-cross up to use jumping 2/3?

    The Green Will Humble You - Swamp Thing Combo Thread

    I find the 3 useless. The 11 has some uses though.

    So he sucks... but WHY?

    With the character that has the slowest walk and floaty jump? In a wide screen game like this? Half the cast would just hold back and they would GAIN distance on him since their back walk is faster than his forward walk. Who needs backdash? And then they just throw projectiles at him all day...

    So he sucks... but WHY?

    Haha, you said it not me. Even at 35>33 Frames B/F3 and a 30>20 frame 2 (yes, TWENTY FRAMES) I would be content. I don't ask for much usually on buffs, just that stupid stuff be "less stupid." At this point, I don't even care how they buff his trait. I'll take anything because right now I Just...

    So he sucks... but WHY?

    Well, those are things he currently has that are near impossible to consistently do. If execution was difficult for other characters, sure. But his execution is extremely high for those combos. I don't see any other character that relies on that much precision for a consistent BnB combo. More...

    So he sucks... but WHY?

    Actually, the most common complaint isn't that at all. The most asked for item is a faster F/B3 that actually has advantage on block (yes, the slowest set of F/B3 is also the most disadvantageous on block). The issue isn't his range... it's that the attacks are so slow that rushdown interrupts...

    [Noob Question] How does one not prevent being grabbed by green thumb?

    Jump it. Since the throw isn't fast, you can usually jab him out of it. If he's tick throwing into it, jumping is the best option.

    Thoughts on current state of tournament character selection (Adam/Aquaman)

    You sadly just proved my point. So the only time you will see switch-up from the norm is when there's a favorable match-up. As long as somebody picks the same top characters, the best counter is to also pick one. Sonic Fox picked Joker, who actually doesn't have too bad a match-up against...

    Thoughts on current state of tournament character selection (Adam/Aquaman)

    Why should Aquaman NOT go for trident rush chip? Why should Black Adam NOT fish for high damage? Why should Batman NOT go for safe pressure? These player's aren't playing to a character's strengths... they're playing into things the rest of the cast has no answer to. THAT IS THE PROBLEM. The...
