Non-franchise stores breaking the street date. Tale as old as time, my friend.

Damn, oh well. I imagine Story Mode will only take 20-30 minutes if I play on the easiest difficulty and skip all the cut-scenes. I can just watch the inevitable Story Mode master cut or whatever they end up releasing on Youtube.

So do we have any intel on the character from the leaked copies? Frame data, special inputs, combos?

it should be like the first section of the living guide: "So you wanna learn how too use Brainiac? Beat storymode, sn))"

This character is what I wanted Killer to be lmao

Am I the only one that is shocked and ecstatic that his dive kick is natural and not gear? That alone made the entire stream worth it.

Nope! I just saw that in the breakdown in this thread and got so excited! The auto-correcting meter-burn is just icing on the cake! Anyone know if he can use Divekick after his ceiling-swing move?

Yes he can, Steve showed it on stream)

 

[legion666]

also an instant air divekick as an instant overhead)

i wonder does the charged trait become inactive if he is hit,
if not could be a poor mans combo breaker

from what we have seen the charged trait is still active if he is hit, BUT as soon as the trait appears on the screen if Brainiac is hit it disappears

So, I guess I'm learning claw style or buying a hitbox.

If you want to keep playing on pad the normal way, you can try changing one of your left triggers to be trait Something I would do for Marvel 3 whenever I played a character with a charge button move.

 

[Hara-Killer]

If. Static parry wasnt a gear move damm

Yeah, this. I mean, what are your shoulder buttons usually doing? Meter burn, throw, stance, and BLANK? Might be easier to hold down a shoulder than try to adopt an entirely new way of gripping the pad after X number years holding it the normal way.

LT it is. I'll delay wakeup with LB and grab with 4

 

[YoungTeezy 305]

That trait is serious though. So much potential

 

[FinalBoss_FGC]

The trait can hurt offense heavy characters on block strings...imagine them keeping on the pressure and you have your trait delayed...then you let it free in the middle of their block string...it hits them and you get a full combo

Great idea. I'm doing this for sure.

 

[RoboCop]

I missed the stream, but can't wait to watch the footage tomorrow and then get my hands on this character Monday night.
