thats the trade off, if you make it so both are equally and easily punishable then flash never gets in on the top tiers, trust me i play against these characters at the highest level and the flash's only viable string that has any reach is b22, but its 15 frame start up and the fact that the top tiers have ways to blow it up, like BA neutral jump, WW b2, or d12 MB tiara, super mans f2, GL b1 etc its really hard for the flash to get in at all. if flash's backwalk was as fast as his forward walk it would help with footsies, but there is a sweet spot where if the flash is in between the range of his d2 and a little father than sweep distance on either of these characters its impossible to initiate offense. they can walk back and whiff punish your b22 from that distance, because there back walks are all really good. and if you walk forward inside the range, you automatically lose the battle on who initiates offense. jumping may work, but playing against GL, WW, BA and trying to jump? if flash gets any buff i just want his backwalk buffed to around the same speed as his forward walk, will definitely help with his whiff punishing and footsies, kinda like cage from mk9.
1. we are all infants in this game
2. regardless of his other moves, no character should ever have a move like that headbutt, it's fucking stupid
3. u have the fastest dash in the game, and a super that slows down time to help you get in, along with a 6-7 frame down poke, im certain people won't be punishing ur down 1 on reaction after a dash consistently
4. I am totally down for an improvement to his footsies, he has no problem with zoning regardless this headbutt shit is absolutely neanderthalish... then again this game doesn't have footsies its like playing monopoly or something... i'll sit here and crouch and wait because u have to come in... oh wait your going to jump at a weird angle
5. ur character is a touch of death character, he should either a) get in easily, and be less, mentally challenged as soon as he touch you b) not get in as easily
6. is it possible dashing in? and backdashing out to whiff punish is viable? ur backdash has bad range
7. This is the most piss poorly designed character in the whole game, I love some of netherrealms ideas coming into this game... a lot of their character designs were stupid, and lackluster in creativity and just overall a bad idea... FLASH, a character who could have been such a cool concept, is hands down, THE worst in the entire game in terms of design, BORING and ABUSIVE... i have my qualms with others, like aquaman being rather boring and not using sharks and his trait being absolute bullshit, superman being 1 string (first day i looked at him and saw 8 frame mid launcher i was like what 8 frames?) and sinestro and green lantern, characters who you could do ANYTHING with as the great Anti-Static said, balls and missiles.
