NO MONEY DOWN
Actually, reading what I posted, I realize that there is a possible use for trait. If you're near the end of your opponent's second health bar and you know they'll clash out of any combo attempts, d+2 ~ 4 will force them into a bit of a precarious situation where any bullets they block end up hitting and potentially killing them, and they won't get a chance to clash out of it.

On the off chance you actually use trait, you'll get to see opponents do some insanely stupid things that you would never, ever see them do otherwise. Just an idea.

Yeah that does seem like a situation where it would be smart to activate the trait rather than continuing a combo that they will clash, especially if they have more meter

to tag on what Heaton said, I found out off of interactables that can be thrown, you get a free trait (Some match ups may apply.) And full screen, you get a free trait (Again, some match ups may apply). People are so use to blocking guns that it's actually kinda difficult to react to his trait properly. You ever do low gun shots by accident trying to do a d1 and the other person didn't punish? yeah...

Oh dear. This is really early speculation, but at least from the trailer, it looks like Scorpion is going to be another tough match for Slade. Those are some quick teleports

I was hoping they'd tone that teleport down. It's a natural crossup, and in this game in which a block button is no where to be found, it could be tough to deal with. Then again, down is a crossup killer.

It might not count as a cross up. We'll see tomorrow.

Yeah, Scorpion is going to be a problem up close and from full-screen. He's got 50/50's with further reach than Deathstroke's sword, his TP is super quick and can be done mid-air and links into his any combo and it can be used to full-combo punish any attempted use of an interactable. Every gunshot against him risks a measly 6% damage for a full-combo punish.

The part that gets me, though, is that he actually plays very similarly to Deathstroke. His j3 is almost an exact clone, his jump arc is similar, but he's got a much better front dash and back dash (his front dash is bananas). So he's basically just a better version of Deathstroke.

But what are his full screen options, he has teleport but it hits high right, and I guess spear, is hellfire unblockable in this game?

TP hits mid. Spear hits high, but leads to full combo on with with MB version. Hellfire is unblockable and MB version hits grounded opponents and makes them stand. His also has an advancing leg grab that lowers his hitbox and his forward dash is almost as good as Bane's.

Teleport hitting mid is a good thing. We can duck and Scorpion will ball up, no need to deal with crossups.

I'd really appreciate it if they gave us full patch notes every time they patch.

Also, if I read "normalized" in a patch one more time, I'm going to punt a kitten.
