I don't want buffs or nerfs, Robin is such a good character... all I wanna read is "Fixed whiff inconsistencies with meterburn swoop hitbox"

Yeh that's what I mean, a fair few characters have such issues, which is why I am disappointed

Is swoop not super good in the corner though?

I'm genuinely asking. I've been stuffing swoop like in the video for months, but in the corner it's actually pretty deadly right?

Also there's ways to make it cross up midscreen which is really good regardless of it being punishable or not.

Sure if you do strings that leave him at point blank it has whiffing issues.

Its still useful with the correct spacing and fun to use when I play as him.

Its insane in the corner.

It has problems against some characters in the corner against some characters still. I am unsure if you can make it cross up mid screen or not, but in the corner it's hella good. I am 90% sure the MB version sometimes just completely whiffs against batman in the corner.

Idk I'm kind of fine with it being punished mid-screen. Most players I fight don't know how to deal with it so it's usually easy win.

You're not wrong, and it CAN be super good in the nuetral still as long as you can condition and bait a counterpoke, but if they expect it or are even reacting then most can just mash out a D2.

It's not in his video but some characters (maybe all, I havent tested) can j1 and full combo punish.

You can always make the argument that you just shouldn't use it and it's not a bad argument. A lot of Robin players will just keep swooping regardless of it being punished instead of not throwing out a special on every blockstring and baiting a poke

It actually isn't a completely terrible anti-zoning tool either. It goes deceptively far and is difficult to punish if used sparingly.

In the corner its broke. Elsewhere not so much. I mix up 212 by ending with trait (-1 I think) and go for swoop if I think they'll counter poke. That said I've yet to actually fight anyone who has labbed swoop and knows how to deal with it, because many of the punishes for it are very character specific, and I guess most people find it not worth it for a MB move that does like 150 if you get hit by the entire thing.
