[SoV N3RO]

Seems like ST will be getting whiff punished like a mother fucker, with its saving grace being trait

Spacing better be on point then eh?

Either that or get a good read, especially off of vine grab

 

[SoV N3RO]

Would you think you could low profile vine grab actually, now that I think about it???

i feel like if you could just neutral duck it that would defeat the purpose.

okay but where are you seeing swamp thing having this?

Just watched the vid for the first time. You must be uber hype lol. Not my type of character, but he looks amazing. Easily one of the best looking for Inj2.

On subject. They're talking about at 1:46 in the video. Tyler says, "if you are struggling against your adversaries projectiles" and then Swamp does a move punching Cheetah in the back from full screen, a high, and the MB version is seemingly a grab or a mid. Both versions seem fairly quick with decent recovery. Much better than Supergirl's at least.

I enjoy my buff zoning's but I am fully convinced that no zoning will appear on the MK9 or Inj1 level, regardless of how powerful offense may or may not be in Inj2 so I just laugh and have fun about it at this stage. But thought I would point out what they were referencing.

That doesn't move Swamp Thing himself so you won't need to change how you block. Everyone calm down. Thank you Salt and yes I am VERY hyped. So much good put into this character's design, they did him justice.

The front bottom or top. Literally anywhere but back.

Two things,
a) swampy doesn't position switch, so it doesn't really matter "where it comes from".
b) NRS has had backstab style teleports in every single game.

edit, the very first mk3 did not have one. Everything else though.

ye looks faster than i thought it would, the ign write up said it was slower than sg tele:
"...Bio Fission is another way the lumbering guardian of Mother Earth can keep long-range zoners honest. He creates a clone of himself that appear behind his opponent to strike at them. Unlike Supergirl’s teleportation move, Bio Fission is relatively slow..."[/QUOTE]

If you know Tekken like I do you know his chain throws are escapable. You not escaping tager.

Martian man hunter been putting on some weight

Welp, now I HAVE to play Swamp Thing.

It needs to be May already.

Yea I can see it being fine. It'll be annoying but since it's just a KD high, and the MB version is an attack that doesn't juggle, and when blocked/whiff you can likely projectile punish, I think it's safe to say let it play out. Supergirl's combo starting tele is more bothersome imo.

This on the other hand I dunno lol. I mean used Supergirl for the beta and I saw this trailer and clearly the Swamp Man does it faster lol. But for less reward so I see what they tried to do.

The close range grab and the trait are really interesting. I'm really curious to see what gear specific stuff he'll get that'll really send his character over the edge(at least in non competitive modes). He seems really slow though and with how fast some of the characters are in this game I'm not sure he's gonna be able to keep up without some amazing anti airs or reversals.

 

[The Ultimate]

I need to see how much damage his grabs do and how much mixup potential he has before I'm on board.

Until then, it's still Grodd for me.

I think he'll be fine. He'll look broken day one because I will have labbed the shit out of him and then when I fight guys on TYM who have done little to no labbing on him (understandably) I'm probably gonna do some crazy looking shit but as the game grows he'll get figured out and I'll fade into obscurity. Ah well.

 

[Thingy]

I grew up loving Swamp Thing, but he totally looks like a character I would not have much fun with. Now Cheetah, I am interested in.

 

[Rip Torn]

I hope you can neutral duck his command grabs or something because that trait looks busted otherwise.

 

[Mr. Freeze]

ok sure why not

Damn! Look at that D1

 

[myri]

Made video on opinions

I hope this isn't serious.

 

[Thingy]

Damn! Look at that D1

Ivy be like...

 

[Thefish]

Is it me or does his sweep look like it hits twice? Along with that range that could be really useful

Yep, caught that! Trunk punch and sweep for armour breaks lol.

What if King VS Jax match occurred? It would be hilarious. xD

Jokes aside, after seeing Swamp Thing I think that he has 2 weak points. He will be most likely weak against teleporters, like HF Scorpion, and defenders, like GM Sub Zero.

 

[Reeky Jones]

Anybody else see that interactable that looks like it possibly leaves a DoT effect on the ground?
Imagine Swamp Thing's trait with that.
