I'd put him in middle tier. Execution I don't find particularly hard, although his trait combo has kind of awkward timing. Bomb set ups make his game plan a little more complicated but def not at the top.damn i wasnt expecting so many people to say grodd. i was planning to pick him up too LOL. im assuming red hood is hard as well due to the nature of his game plan (traps/set ups)?
The mere fact that she possesses four different directional inputs for stardust makes the character too advanced and requires too much brain power for Aquaman players.Starfire is so easy that u could hv no limbs and beat people
Bro ivy has some difficult areas but some of the stuff here pales in comparison to some chars. Dial a combo string has lots of buttons? Lol. Watch omega k do grodd run cancels on point off every string and then go attempt it.Paulo admitted on the patch stream that Ivy is the hardest character to use.
She sure has the execution package:
- Strings requiring multiple buttons per step (121213 is her main fast punisher midscreen and you need to mash it on reaction)
- Command grabs and their unnecessary use of 3 directions.
- Main launcher requiring to hold up after hitting (or on block) or you're sitting there open for a full combo.
- Strings requiring multiple directions.
- DD special moves (combined with the above for very unnatural and anti intuitive commands).
- Very tight links on some launchers (MBDrill into F3 is too unreliable).
- Trait can't be manually timed to syncronize with your moves.
B2D2,DD1,2,U,B2D2,DBF1 are a huge lot of direction buttons for what's basically her main neutral starter.
What are u talking abt Aquaman players actually hv to used their brains now and it's too much for us to comprehendThe mere fact that she possesses four different directional inputs for stardust makes the character too advanced and requires too much brain power for Aquaman players.
Damn you and your awesome post. I just picked up Grodd and now I have to try Ivy! She sounds like a fun challenge.Out of every character I've tried, Ivy has given me the most trouble. Just doing her basic stuff is extremely difficult and dropping it usually means you're toast. If she isn't the hardest in the game she's damn damn close. Grodd is enormously difficult too, but as far as his execution difficulty, it's mostly on one thing, his cancels. I know his restand loop stuff isn't easy, but outside his cancels I didn't find his combos terribly difficult.. so to me, Ivy is still the harder of the two, despite Grodd's cancels being harder than any individual thing Ivy has.
Also, I don't find Batman that easy. Yeah, his basic stuff is def extremely easy, but learning to REALLY maximize his combo and conversion stuff with trait and everything requires pretty tight timing and such. Im not claiming Bats is "hard" exactly, just that he's not, to me, "easy" either.
Superman.
Starfire seems pretty easy so far.
Deadshot.
Darkseid too kind of. He has tricky timing on some setups though.
Dont worry man i also play him ans my execution sucksdamn i wasnt expecting so many people to say grodd. i was planning to pick him up too LOL. im assuming red hood is hard as well due to the nature of his game plan (traps/set ups)?
