The 125% unblockable reset. This tech was posted like two weeks ago, get with it Hiyomoto.This Cold is not so shabby
I think vs WW it's a 5/5How can people not see this character for the turd that he is? He's a gimpcicle. He's got some amazing matchups, but that doesn't make him any less of a poor man's Firestorm.
I honestly think he has nothing but 7/3 matchups! He either totally dominates his opponent because they have to deal with puddle, or they totally dominate him because they get to ignore puddle.
"But what about his sick-ass zoning, you know-it-all-pessimist" you belt in anger and frustration. And to that I say, "Great, go fight a Green Arrow or WoWo and get back to me. Better yet, have a go at Beetle, Red Hood, Superman, Deadshot, Ivy, Starfire, Supergirl, Fate, Firestorm, Darkseid, or...Bladam and get back to me about that awesome zoning." Go ahead and spend precious seconds tinkering around with your trait, eating projectile after projectile, trying to make your snowballs fly faster. Oh no!
"But what about his sick-ass defense?" you blurt, almost reflexively. And to that I say, "Firstly, learn an adjective besides 'sick-ass'. There are literally dozens to choose from! Secondly, what good is defense when your opponent doesn't have to come to you? Don't get me wrong, his defense is amazing vs certain characters, but those tools become a total non-issue in most matchups."
"Offense?" you squeek, not even sure of your own question. And to that I say, "Michael Jackson has been reincarnated as this video game character because he is straight up moonwalkin... His walk speed and floaty jumps make him a big juicy target for zoners and rushdown characters alike. He ain't chasing down nobody who don't want to be chased down. Which sucks since he has to chase down anyone with a half-decent projectile."
And this all, of course, is assuming your name is not Sonic Fox. Otherwise, please disregard.
I bet his shot and wall could get dmg buff on level3 charge. But who cares, sometimes you can't even charge up to 2nd level to start your gameDidn’t they say once captain cold is on level 3 trait he gets more damage on his normals and specials ?or did I make it up I labbed before I went to work for like 5 mins and I didn’t See no changes in damage , might stop playing with him anyway I feel like firestorm kinda plays the same but better
I don’t think that’s true I did f23 d4 back3 ji3 b232 wall and did it was just db3 instead of trait Nd did it without full trait I didn’t see a difference and so what db3 isn’t a special move . I just condition them so I can get away with charging trairI bet his shot and wall could get dmg buff on level3 charge. But who cares, sometimes you can't even charge up to 2nd level to start your game
This is what I meant , with full trait on I didn’t see any bnbs do more damage like they claimed to do on stream . Level 3 trait for launcher seemed to do like 10 more damage tho but I never did level 3 anything before patch so I’m not sure how much damage scaling was taking off to compare . All I seen that was given was nerfs , nothing to compensate atleast for it ethierlvl3 is the same except it brings some damage on the table for 'some' hits. But noone knows what hits are buffed with dmg during lvl3
His 122 string is pretty good but I get what your getting at .Honestly, NRS ruined this character. Why even play Cold at all when there's characters who do what he does but way better? If you like his ice globe just play Flash, his trait is full screen, you don't need to take risks charging it, and can lead to some of the highest damage in the entire game. You like Cold's ice puddle? Just play Super Girl, her d1 (which is a low) links to ice breath because Colds d1 does not link to ice puddle.
Cold has no overhead or low starters, doesn't have any good strings to work with (his b232 is all highs lol), and NRS just nerfed his ice puddle which was a HUGE part of his game.
