Captain Cold General Discussion Thread

[Hara-Killer]

lmao...comedy gold.

the irony is ,we have same name

but for reals man , maybe Sub starts OP , the nerff hammer strikes again and Sub and Snart gets equal tier ?

 

[pogse]

we got this from the recent patch
- Several projectile attacks have been changed to interact correctly with projectile affecting special moves (such as Captain Cold’s The Wall MeterBurn)

haven't tested yet I hope it's the window where a projectile can go through on MB.

We, also, got this.

Captain Cold - No longer continues to gain Character Power meter if transitioned while holding Cyclotron Charge (This does not apply in Completive / Tournament Mode)

Gray did a small web interview with Echo Fox Sonic Fox.
Advice: Have a top tier at your side - Sonic loves Capt Cold but he sucks.

DAMN COLD as ICE

Not home to test but heard some characters received nerfs were they can't combo from grabs anymore , scared this might have affected Cold

 

[Noodle Monkey]

Can you meter burn DB3 while they're on the ground to leave as a trap of sorts to beat wakeups?

It didn't affect CC, as you can't combo off of Throw. NRS statement about CC is kind of strange and makes me confused.

Tested to figure out what did they mean with the trait. No change there.

yeah but invulnerable wakeup specials will beat/nullify it. depends on the MU but not really worth the meter for the risk.

You can throw them into an ice puddle and it'll grant u a combo or while they're in the snowglobe depending on the timer they can get frozen for getting grabbed or even teching

I'm wondering if this has been changed at all went on a trip haven't been home to check

Nah, it would be nerfed, if they had changed the Ice Trap's active frames rate. I know about this one, and it's a risky one. Why? That's because you need to be fast to throw your opponent on the trap, and that's because there's a high possibility to punish the throw, which CANNOT grab the unblocking lower, the stunned and the jumping opponents. What's worse, it's to be done at a certain distance, otherwise it won't freeze them spot on. It's one of the two punishing moves, but a risky one. The other and safe one is the 213.

 

[BanTheTesters]

I have to say i do wonder what the character lines (if any) between cold and sub will be...

Also im figuring out cold little by little...i still feel like he's still a bit rough around the edges to play with (strings start of high most of the time so ppl d1 them etc) but i think he is slowly turning into my main...slowly lol

 

[BanTheTesters]

All of his specials are busted in some way. The Wall, our best special is also the most busted, and Reo just posted a video of how punishable it is, including the EX version :\

I mean i know its a mid but im really mad surprised batman's low slide blows up meaty wall...it bats slide is a low but man does it look...weird going through wall..

 

[Torkable]

It's his wakeup, it will always blow up meaty hits that don't have armor, and why are you using wall as a meaty in the first place?

 

[pogse]

I tried hitting meaty by the end of wall's active frames. that makes it relatively safe but too risky if whiffed when they delay wakeup.

try just walking back out of their D1 range. you should see if they do a wakeup special. if not, you have 3, 1(whiff) 22 string or check them back with F23.

 

[BanTheTesters]

and why are you using wall as a meaty in the first place?

Because it actually does stop a few wake up options when cats are hitting buttons....thats why.

Would love to hear your suggestions though.

 

[M.D.]

Being god tier you can spend 2 bars in the corner ( like you'd ever freeze someone in the corner lawl ) to get an useless ambiguous crossup like this:

Winning evo material right there.

This is very good. I'm waiting for the patch buffs for Captain Cold. this will hapen after EVO of course.

My suggestion is to not use a punishable special that does no damage for meaty hits. If you read a wakeup then crush it with a MB 3 or block it and punish. If you don't read a wakeup, then I suggest meaty f23 and confirm.

I had my friend check while I'm at work and Sub mb ice ball seems to go straight through mb ice wall which will probably b the same case for ice block and regular wall in the video he sent me it goes straight through but when the wall reaches Sub he's still in the animation and actually absorbs the wall as well its super weird

Mb ice wall also trades with clone

Yup this is the most annoying thing. It shatters your ice wall but his projectile still keeps coming. Lost my first match to sub because of this. It's ennoying
