Tech - Erron Black [EO Beta] Erron Black Beta Changes

[Shirai Ryu Dog]

 

[A New Angel Is Advent]

Based on the brief clips we've seen, EB is going to be a somewhat different character. What are you guys thinking his new game plan might be?

 

[Amplified$hotz]

Him and Sub-Zero are the only characters I really play I hope these changes arent going to stay

 

[CaptainCM]

Marksman master race has safe 50/50 starters. Just sayin'

 

[thlityoursloat]

RIP Erron Black.
Can they at least make ONE of his specials safe? I mean, good lord, why are they ALL unsafe? Sand Toss is one of the worst launchers in the game lol, and yet that's -22. Jax's OH DP is a much better reversal and it's only -17

RIP Erron Black

I only want to say these nerfs are Overkill, he was decent at best after all the nerfs he already got.

@Edit : maybe it'll work out fine but the changes sound ridiculous considering how many flaws Erron has

 

[THTB]

I get why they nerfed throw ticks...the universal CT change would have been absurd on him.

EX sand nerf, though, is weird. And it's even weirder that he didn't get anything to compensate.

Hopefully, they fix him up.

 

[Shirai Ryu Dog]

Does 11b3 tick throw still work?

 

[The Farmer]

I will still main Erron for the life of this game, his character design is so cool IMHO.

Does 11b3 tick throw still work?

Yes, Reo was using it last night. Its one of the few remaining.

 

[GRs_Prince]

you guys tell sonicfox to drop erron black so nrs will stop nerfing him

EX Sand Grenade is +1, so it's safe. Sand Toss is a meterless launcher that can be used off a 50/50, so making it safe would be ridiculous. -17 is absolutely punishable.

Since these changes were applied he should get all or some of this stuff atleast first , command grab on hit is +22 ( this is a must if they're sticking with the 21122 nerf) and , f2 is 10f , also making ex sg +7 again without the pushback would be good , a nice marksman buff id like is making all 3 shots hit mids (db1) but that isn't needed. Also fix the fucking recovery for b32u1 so he can land his damn njp after that.

I can land the NJP consistently after practicing, so I don't consider that point necessary. All three shots of Marksman being mid would be too much: if you want to zone, use Gunslinger, which is great at it.

I don't disagree, it should be unsafe. My point was that -22 is overkill, lol. Couldn't have -15 sufficed? I mean, it's like they didn't know how to nerf him so they just took that and slapped on a ton of negative frames.

It's the same situation as with EX Spin sucking you in on block. It just helps the people who are not good or play on really bad connections. A somewhat good player will always punish a -15 move with no pushback, at least offline. A change like that would be of no consequence.

 

[Bucketfeet]

I will still main him. It will be fun and challenging to be good with him.

Im with ya, I will ride and die with this character.

 

[Sage Leviathan]

Wouldn't drop Erron Black for the world.

 

[lionheart21]

Even with these setbacks, I've mained Erron since the start, and that's not changing.

 

[21122]

#COWBOYLIVESMATTER

BUFF ERRON!

 

[21122]

Its a struggle playing with Erron. Every move I do works against me lol.

 

[DownfouralitY]

Eh.. I'm going to use Bo, but i'll still probably side main Erron or as a secondary. I just really hope these changes aren't final, because I honestly think he's gonna struggle with these nerfs.

Hey, keep the strats secret! Next thing you know, f13 will get hotfixed to not be cancelable into specials.

 

[Thanilla Ice]

So the character with no mids who could only poke you after ex sand grenade now has even worse options...

Wasn't even a guaranteed poke too smfh NRS
