Firestorm Pre-Release Discussion Thread

[MKF30]

they did it for Jon Stewart and Hal Jordan.

I know would be cool if they did it for firestorm, they said some characters will have premiere skins but not everyone. Should be interesting to see who gets them.

Deathstorm would be godlike

 

[xQUANTUMx]

ya. My first comic in 92 was firestorm so this one hits close to home.

Some Firestorm combos here

 

[DubiousShenron]

Wow firestorms combos are actually way more visually stunning than I thought they would be, also the sound design on his moves are great

 

[xInfra Deadx]

So if you use your super while your trait is active, it goes away and you have to start over again.

Not really a big deal tbh

Glad firestorm has some decent looking gear

Unfortunately you guys might wanna save your meter for the 2 meter combo breakers...

These guys are just mashing buttons but I noticed how good Firestorms normals are. Like god damn. @1:07 is what I'm talking about inparticular.

 

[freerf245]

Deathstorm looks like it'll be a color not a premier skin

 

[Rip Torn]

I noticed that too. Hopefully his d2 is good. The animation looks a bit slow but we never know. Trailblazer will be a good long range anti air and punish jump backs.

Watching this video:

At 1:05 we finally get to see an AA attempt with Firestorm's D2 and it fails miserably...

It doesn't seem to have as much vertical range as the animation implies. That, coupled with his burst whiffing has me worried about his aa's.

Wow what a pathetic AA. The AA appearance was my main attraction to this character but it seems his are uber garbage. Losing my hype on him fast.

He did that early, and it looked really quick.

NRS has issues with hitboxes. I'm still holding out hope for those to be ironed out in the day 1 patch.

Also keep in mind that sometimes d2 isn't the go to for some characters. Raiden's d2 couldn't anti air shit but his f1 stopped everything.

Really pumped to lab this guy. I'm wanting to make him my back pocket or secondary. He just has so many tools to use. I can't wait to see him vs Dr. Fate to see this game become a shootemup.

Yeah, he did do it a bit early. We'll see. I hope it has some sort of disjointed hitbox since the flame is out above his hand.

 

[DubiousShenron]

They did the d2 early, that's more of an arguement for it being so good (really fast), instead of it being bad. Just because the opponent jumped and you did an anti air at anytime doesn't mean it should work

No chill.

Honestly I think Firestorm has a chance of being broken as *#&$* day 1. Like vanilla MvC3 Phoenix broken.

I wish I had more info about his defense shield normal move. Does it take too long to activate? Does it stack on top of trait? Can you do it in the air? How long does it last?

If you get a life lead in final round, defense shield + lvl 3 trait is basically auto win

 

[DubiousShenron]

This new firestorm gameplay has some good combo execution and trial/error combo generation for you guys to look at

oh god not super

 

[DubiousShenron]

He's consistently been the best at combos from what I've seen from other content creators on YT. If you watch the video, he does some high damaging combos in level 3 trait

 

[SaltShaker]

Atomic burst is -6 with pushback? lol lets see if it makes it to launch in that form.

 

[freerf245]

He gave some good info. But don't trust pre release frame data. It changes. Atomic burst being safe would be godlike though.
