I played with Perfect Legend's Brainiac a lot and understand the character better now. I might flip it back to advantage for scarecrow but for now I feel it's pretty even. Brainiac's air mobility plus drones is better than I first thought and he can play pretty good grounded footsies himself.
Yes, fearnado does eat them. If he wants to sit back and throw them, eat them up. If he wants to throw and run in with pressure, MB it for the absorption and the hit.
Why in the world would he want to stop throwing birdrangs. You have to approach him anyways. He can just sit pretty right outside footsies range and bang them out. And yes he will get free pressure unless you jump back to try and avoid it but that just defeats the whole purpose and he can then chuck another one out
So, like... you don't understand that fearnado absorbs projectiles then?
I agree with you, at worse it's even
I'm willing to admit I'm fucking bad & hamhands at times but yeah he feels rough. He fights Crow at his best range EXTREMELY well.
Birdarang is not the issue at all, after it reaches apex you can move & it doesn't track at all, if he does at more than two character spaces away we can punish him & it goes away, he has no blockstrings into it. Yeah he can mix things up & MB it but he's giving up combo extensions for that & I'm cool with it.
playing against Chef it feels like it's in our favor IMO, I haven't played against PL yet so can't say much till I get a wider varieity of MU experience.
Lol are you that dense? Yea fearnado his birdrang at footsies range or right outside of it and eat a full combo then.
I don't see why Robin would be throwing a bunch of birdarangs at footsie range, and couldn't you just MB the DB2 to catch him if he does rush in?
There are literally only like 3 good robins though. I thought the mu was even or in our favor until I played a good one. The problem for me with birdrang is when he starts thowing it right outside our f2 range. I know you can dodge it. I tried jumping back but that would just reset the situation at best or he would get pressure with his longest reaching normal. I tried jumping in 3 but his d2 is godlike. I tried njp but that just allows free pressure. The problem I saw was that it's so plus on block that it allows the robin to wait and see what your reaction will be and then still has enough time to go in if he sees you don't do anything.
To clarify he wouldn't. I meant right outside our f2. And sure you could mb b3 but he doesn't have to do anything either.
I don't understand, maybe I need to see toxin vs hayatei too, but Robin's 50 frame birdarang just outside our f2 range (so within our f1 range)?
I don't have the most MU experience against Robin, the only set I've ever played against him was last night against @EMPEROR PRYCE godlike Robin. I am going to have to lab a few things tonight but I feel like you're overating his birdarang pressure. Next time I get a longer set in I'll post a few thoughts.
F2 has longer range than f1
Apologies, was comparing f1,3 with f2,1 in my head. Should have clarified.
Do you mean to try and go under it?
Are you maining scarecrow? Your flash was scary in injustice one. And no I've never tried that. Could be interesting
Not even necessarily, an early reaction should beat the batarangs, but then a late one might even allow to go under it too
But if you're outside f1 range then how would you even react. I don't have a problem with the birdrang if he's within that range. My problem is when a smart robin will stay right outside that range and throw birdrangs. If I see a bird rang come out and I'm within range I definitely will check them before it comes out. The problem is that range right outside footsies
Yeah that's what I'm asking, I don't know what would happen if he's just outside f2 range, and then when he throws a batarang you react with f1,3. In my head, it would beat it out due to the height he throws the batarang.
No I've tried that. If the f1 doesn't connect, you will get hit for full combo.
No, you add a meta to it by MBing fearnado for a combo, which you can even delay pretty significantly for even more meta.
