Why can't he have a good anti air???? Please Paulo he needs it for real.

It seems like his S1 is his best anti air for sure. I noticed yesterday, when I traded with Catwoman's J2 by mistake, that it's vertical hit box is actually really good. Need to start practicing with it though

I'll start trying it in matches.

After a bit more testing ts definitely his best anti air by default, it trades a lot with the better jump ins though

 

[jmt]

Why can't his fireball be df1 instead of bf1?????


Why why why why??????????

 

[KH_Seraph]

What are you guys doing for his wakeup? Is his super punishable bf3 really his only wakeup option?

 

[TheBoyBlunder]

I just try to not use it as offend. I wish DB3 was his wake up.

Bruh, it looks like a GET OFF ME move. Why couldn't it act like one?! I was so baffled at first when it was getting beaten by simple pokes.

I like using it to build meter, but damn you right, It looks like most wake up move of all time. Literally. It looks like Firestorm just jumped out of his bed, stretch and was ready to start his day. a true wake up that is not a wake up.

That's it.

I'm having a hard time doing D1 into BD2 (close).
Any suggestions?

Just practice really. When I was learning it I concentrated on doing the BD2 as fast as I can then just roll your thumb over to B to get the close one. Try and get the BD as clean as you can as well

 

[TheBoyBlunder]

I'm really LOVING this character. Almost perfectly fits my playstyle(former Nightwing player in IGAU1)

I just wish Firestorm level 3 trait started at the beginning of a match and it loaded up as quickly as Batman's trait.

Yea, it's hard to explain, you gotta just grind it out. I can do it everytime now.

 

[jmt]

When I get home I'll try to test it and explain it better

 

[jmt]

Here is a video of the d1 trap. It definitely feels weird and takes a few minutes to get it down. It's actually easier if you are already holding down versus like dashing or walking in and then going into a d1. I show both in the video. You can definitely get it down.

 

[SyntaxPoint]

I'll just leave this tech video here, what do you guys think?

 

[jmt]

That shit is nice dude

because its a safe string ender and EX is a launcher thats advantage on block lmfao. it seems like most wakeups in this game aren't safe so thats nice.

i honestly have to have my buttons settings set specifically for this input tbh. i have alt controls off, negative edge off, button shorcuts off, but input shortcuts on. this lets you do bd2 by going from to and it reads it as a close carpet. so for me i hold and do d1 and then do a motion like to get the carpet to come out.

"Can't put out these flames."

why I get so hyped when Jason says this

 

[Speedsterr]

Anyone else dies inside a little bit every time your EX rocket disappears a pixel away from the opponent after a trade?

Just felt like venting.....

I finally got around to messing with Firestorm's gear abilities. God damn would he benefit from having that Mid-air Ground Spark or whatever it's called in his base moveset. It's a full screen tracking low he can instant-air and MB for small combos midscreen and big damage in the corner. It's very similar to Tremor's D,D+1 (I think that was the notation).

It's a shame so many useful moves are locked away behind this stupid gear system.

that move is actually broken tho. good thing its not in the game lmfao

I just started messing around with Firestorm. What's his general gameplan? It looks like he has some ok moves and ok strings, but at first glance I'm having trouble figuring out how everything goes together for him.

play incredibly lame, walk backwards a lot, sit there and wait for your opponent. you have almost every tool to fuck people up in neutral. only normals you need are b1, d1 and b2, i rarely use strings outside of combos.
