Break Down of Swamp Thing Featuring Tyler Lansdown (Trait Revealed!)

[carrion4worm]

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.

...And fire-type Pokémon.

And Guile.

Actually, I'm kidding, of course. Swampy bodied all four mentioned characters in his Savage Dragon crossover comic.

He gonna be low tier

On the video ST:s trait lasts 8s. That's a time to complete one setup maybe two with the trait on. So yea we don't know how many strings/normals he has to tick throw. And there is numerous ways still get out of the tick/setup in injustice so I don't think they gonna make ticks that good in this game either. Athough jumping is the most common way to get out but as you see the trait you just gonna know what to do next most of the time.

IMO the vine grab is still unclear is it a hit or throw cos his already having command grab in short range and the video seems to be like cheetah isn't trying to block it as his moving back and forth.

About the tp I bet its just a hit too that hits in front, mb close up the cap and normal just hits oppoment closer to you. MB might be throw who knows..

To add in that trait it doesn't take command dashes and command aerials away or that's what I think. So char like black canary can back and forward dash all she wants and jump with her specials too..

Breakdown from NRS.

First thing showed: the throw

 

[kabelfritz]

lol his tools sound broken lets see how nrs handles this. poor paulo, always these op characters come to him and need to be balanced.

 

[LaidbackOne]

His trait combined with the fact that he is a grappler sounds kinda stupid. Gotta wait and see how they handle it.

 

[Asodimazze]

I can see this character, and potentially others too, being totally ruined by throw immune moves (like all the b3 and f3 were in IGAU). If that crap is still a thing, grapplers have no point to exist

Which character except Grundy was ruined because of throw immune moves?

Grundy was the only true grappler so he was the only one truly ruined. Same thing can easily happen to any grappler in Injustice 2, we don't know if Swamp Thing will be the only one

 

[REYTHEGREAT]

ST is looking really strong.

 

[John Grizzly]

I'll say it again, if you can watch this and not be excited for this character, something is wrong.

That trait is going to be a nightmare in the corner. And if you can pop that shit and MB roll and cover the entire screen.....

Jax would body king lmao

Dude, if you can MB roll and cover the whole screen...

That shit will get nerfed day 1. lol

 

[Solomon Gorondy]

I hope the trait stays active when he gets hit; It would force some characters to use different combos instead of the same old BnB. It would also prevent some dumb mix-ups like Superman's OTG reset or Batman's butt-cheeks.

 

[Dankster Morgan]

Swamp Thing has a really cool design, I know a lot of you guys really wanted him so I'm happy for you guys that he looks good.

I'm hoping the next breakdowns are Robin, Deadshot, and Ivy.

 

[zerosebaz]

I don't think his trait will work against someone in the corner. It appears under him, not in front of him.

 

[Johnny Based Cage]

I hope we get to be trolly af with him, like knockdown into trait into mb roll through into kick logs at them while they can't jump them lolololol watch your toes - Swamp Bae: zoning master!

doubt it imo, if its in day 1 its prob intended to work that way.
we only seen swampy walk after it so we dont know if it spreads the garden on his dash/jump
sure the cooldown on the trait could be massive aswell,
so much we just dont know yet

I was basically implying that the outcry from people claiming it's "broken" or "OP" would cause a kneejerk reaction and it would get nerfed to shit.

ah get ya now, my bad.
another thing i thought about is how pushblock vs the garden will work.
vs strings could maybe be a thing but im brain farting a bit on the 2nd part here but command grabs cant be pushblocked in previous games right?

 

[SoV N3RO]

Wait, this isn't his D1 is it...?

 

[Baconlord]

Wait, this isn't his D1 is it...?

looks more like a sweep

 

[Wetdoba]

Wait, this isn't his D1 is it...?

Nah its D3, it knocked down. They show the D1 tick throwing into the close command grab, it looks like Mileenas D1 in mkx

 

[CrazyFingers]

Wait, this isn't his D1 is it...?

It's his D3. They show him tick throwing off of his D1 on the part where they talk about Green Thumb.

 

[SoV N3RO]

Oh my b. Someone in this thread mentioned it as a D1, so I was scared.
