I've been doing something similar. The instant dive kick is easier if you hold the beta bomb for a split second. You can also mix it up further with cross ups (jump forward instant dive kick crosses up but neutral jump instant dive kick does not). Crossing up ends the vortex though because they get pushed out of the corner.
I like the idea of holding the beta bomb, definently alot easier. Also good things to add to the mix. Once u establish they cant press buttons holding the beta bomb will be nice
I have been doing something similar to that, it is a pain in the ass to connect d3, beta bomb hits, instant divekick mb, etc. Doing it after the divekick, beta bomb hit seems much easier. I also end combos in f23xxbeta bomb to set this up even better but for less damage.
I think it's just another example of someone starting a thread waaaaay too early assuming something about a character they've never played and then just giving up on the thread immediately.
Agreed on the harpoon. You still need to burn meter on it to get any decent damage so I really don't know why it's not part of Brainiac's base kit. I'd love to actually use the move. So much potential lost behind these stupid "gear only" abilities.
I mean, give him that or the sky laser (which also needs to be mb to extend combos), something besides divekick. It is great but like look at other characters like Adam or Darkseid, they have both air combo starters and ground ones. Why the hell did they decide to limit Brainiac so much. It is like Shinnok all over again, when he came out without his overhead and ability to mb hellsparks on block. Why doesn't nrs work on the boss characters thoroughly??!!They are the most important ones to the story and always the center of attention))
Well, the flip side to that is Shinnok eventually became beastly. Keep the faith. When Brainiac is inevitably buffed and the monsters like Bladam and Deadshot are brought down a peg, you'll be able to play Brainiac without anyone calling you a tierwhore
That was the case for me with Shinnok as well)Well, the flip side to that is Shinnok eventually became beastly. Keep the faith. When Brainiac is inevitably buffed and the monsters like Bladam and Deadshot are brought down a peg, you'll be able to play Brainiac without anyone calling you a tierwhore
This is dope, seems pretty tight link though, are you having continual success with it, or is it 50/50 chance to hit the beta bomb
Haven't tried to F3 after this. Going to bed now. You're welcome
He ditched the character, has said multiple times he doesn't plan to use him anymore, unfortunately, so this thread has kind of just been left up in the air
Quick question why would you go for that when you can end with db2 into the bomb drop still being plus and do more damage?
Okay, thank you.
So wait does this mean that you haven't given up on Brainiac and this guide? He's easily the least used character I've come across and I really want to learn him.
pretty much, just give me time
Ion cannon? Like the little plasma bomb that the beta bomb drops?
it's the gear air laser thing
This isn't for gear, you casual lmao
