"12th-level intellect" Brainiac General Discussion

[YoungTeezy 305]

Hmm ok. I must have had timing off. I dont use it much but thanks. I'll add that to my repertoire. I wonder how viable swing, ji2, F1, MB F3 is. Overhead, low, overhead at the cost of 2 bars.

I'll usually do force drop 2 into 1,2 and hit confirm into u2 or stagger into d1, dox drill

Isn't 1,2 big time negative?

Gosh, I haven't looked at it since day 1. I think it's slightly negative, but safe. The whole string is punishable. Someone who's familiar with the string will usually wait for the 3rd hit. If they are fast at reacting and beating me to the punch (no pun intended), I will just 1,2, block

Pretty much everything Brainiac does is punishable. The third hit on 1,2, u2 is duckable. Brainiac needs some help. Sucks cause he is my favorite character to play.

I'll definitely play for a decent amount of time. I can actually hop on pretty soon. Maybe in an hour or so

for those who mastered the art of instant air divedick, teach me your ways.

I had this problem at first, in my case I needed to start inputting the string earlier, whilst dropping in fact, and before the j2 connected.

Edit - Just noticed this was a couple of days ago, hopefully helpful to others....

Honestly there doesn't really seem to be a big trick to it outside of just practicing it.

Remember though, that there's three different different instant divekicks you can do, based off of how you jump. There's actually a lot of different situations where you'd want to do a jump-forward divekick or a jump-back divekick, and it's worth practicing it with different jumps as the input is a little different.

 

[EMPEROR PRYCE]

Probably best place to put this...

 

[Marinjuana]

I think Brainiac goes even with Black Adam. Brainiac loves to have free oki like BA gives, and the zoning is countered very easily by his air movement.

 

[YoungTeezy 305]

Brainiaaaaaaaaaac Buuuuufffffffs! Time to work on some beta bomb combos.

 

[legion666]

I am sooooooo happy now

 

[Mind Flex]

He got every buff i could have hoped for. I am shocked that it's actually real. I need to see the patch notes to believe it.

 

[legion666]

And remember we still have got these:

Throw tech punishes -

50/50 with trait:

I also messed a bit with interactables :

Also unblockable into hard to blockable))))

 

[Steven_a]

brainiac dmg buff. I wonder how that'll affect our combos :^)

 

[kcd117]

If trait stays stored when he is knocked down and he is able to release it while on the ground he is gonna end up being very strong. Also they said that the trait goes away if you get hit when it is travelling, does it go away if you block anything while it is travelling?

 

[Marinjuana]

This character is going to be good as fuck

Based on what 16-bit said throw tech punish combos will be removed like they are in non competitive mode, so we'll lose trait when you land a grab, tech or no tech.

 

[Wrenchfarm]

this is some damn fine news

I think that's the idea with it going away the same as it does now except when you are holding trait. I'm really interested about how it's going to work though, are you going to be able to do it out of block stun/hit stun or when you are on the ground or being juggled? Can we do it during delayed wakeup? Can we punish things earlier then we can normally move? I'm assuming there's some limit to it here but can't wait to see how it all works.

 

[Aramonde]

Brainiac buffs boys!!!!

I want it documented that i main Brainiac before it was cool

 

[Marinjuana]

Potential profile pics in celebration of Brainiac holding that trait like a boss

 

[dribirut]

He's definitely going to be tricky to play now since holding trait for long periods of time can be a little hard but well worth it now. Awesome buff

 

[Basic Stupidity]

Brainiacs looking very strong because of this buff. Im guessing he'll be atleast top 10
