Aquaman Pre-Release General Discussion Thread

[Redk9]

I got you guys tonight on some frame data. Of course I'm just guessing because I certainly don't have the game early. Wink wink

 

[ismael4790]

I heard scoop is hkd.

 

[The PantyChrist]

It was in i1 too

 

[dribirut]

There's a pretty good first review of aquaman from tom on youtube. You guys should check it out

 

[freerf245]

^ He looks like he'll be good. Happy with the changes.

 

[Kooron Nation]

@Tom Brady is back and ready to scoop fools.
Aquaman looks pretty solid

 

[Thefish]

Happy with aquaman, I need to get in and start playing with some water shield setups in the corner!

He said water shield is one frame...

1 frame what? Startup, active?

 

[freerf245]

Start up... Scary

 

[Thefish]

Start up... Scary

Can't wait, In ij1 I sometimes liked to end combos in the corner with b123 dd3-f dash-dd3. Absorbed their wake up dashed in and punished or if they didn't wake up mb it and be plus 6.

 

[ismael4790]

0 safe specials now...he's definitely gonna be in trouble to build those bars he needs.

I don't understand why they made regular ftd more negative on block.

 

[The PantyChrist]

He now has to choose between damage or safety. Depending on pushback and mu you probably won't even have to burn the bar because unless they have a single hit launcher that reaches or knocks down you can trait out of it anyways

 

[Thefish]

Brady says his trait is unchanged. If so that means it lasts 2 seconds and recovers in 12 seconds. That'll be another good thing if it stays like that day one patch.

 

[Peter Quill]

Brady's video was encouraging. I'm excited to figure this shit out!

 

[John Grizzly]

The only pieces of Aquaman gear I wanted have still not been revealed. I'll be really bummed if he doesn't have a beard and hook hand gear.

I mean....come on. It's gotta be there, right?

 

[freerf245]

Overall he sounds like he'll be a good, honest character. He is no ALL about meter ma

Dont know about a hook but a beard better be there

 

[ismael4790]

From the deep being more negative on block is pretty bad imo, will hurt his counterzoning in a game where we are going to have pretty strong zoners.

Yea but Water shield is 1 frame start up and projectile invulnerable. We'll be fine

This was a very helpful breakdown.

However - LOLOL at Brady starting the video by subtly suggesting Trident Rush wasn't that great in Injustice 1. Still haven't given that up, huh.

 

[Peter Quill]

Also, don't know if there's a premier skin wishlist thread (link?) but I would LOVE an ocean master skin for our boy. That'd be dope.

And please...

Please have some classic as f*ck armor as gear...please. I don't want bare chested all the time XD

The beard is the most important. Shit, everyone got a beard in MKX. All I'm asking for is one.

And we thought his combos were stupid easy before...

@Tom Brady is his B2 any faster now?

 

[TyCarter35]

The low scoop does not work properly

 

[Peter Quill]

Surprised no one has posted this yet. Thoughts? Kinda let down by his ability moves, asides from the advancing shield.

Cue everyone panicking about the trident boost.

I'm having Fisticuffs cage flashbacks...
