It's not so much that people are super opposed to GL getting a few small tweaks, they just hate Fred Marvel's attitude. Most(if not all) of the stuff asked for by the other GL players on this thread is reasonable, but FM gave GL like a 12/25 on m2dave's rate your character thread, like come on..

true lol. It's just annoying to see everyone calling GL top 5 early on and laughing at buff requests but almost no one uses him.

Having small buffs like 2231 being +2 are ok but some people ask for some weird stuff. Also can you guys let lantern's might go? It's not as good as it was in IGAU but it will probably never change. Ya'll got a great D2 and a top air normal for air to airs but maybe if you stopped whining you would see that.

All that is true and I don't play Green Lantern at all(love Hal Jordan/GL a lot though, one of my favorite DC characters), but I'd like to see lantern's might get tweaked because it seems like such a Green Lanterny(lol) move that it only being a combo tool is kinda lame imo.

He's not really hurting he's just an honest, simple character. His damage is pretty low though especially off trait cancels however, that's only compared to the Black Aqua Cat--s of the world.

The move is cool and changing it would be pretty whatever, I would undertand the frustration if he had no AAs at all but he doesn't NEED it, it would be a luxury change IMO.

Bro do you just not understand that most wakeups have some big weakness like being punishable or stuffable? You talk like characters jump stuffing it is something GL is alone in dealing with when it's probably the majority of wakeups in the game that you can stuff like that.

No reason it should lose to batman's double jump. No I'm not gonna let it go when my move fundamentally does not work properly lol. It's been relegated to a combo extension only and that just feels uninspired.

Take your negativity elsewhere, this is a discussion, not whining.

And what makes you think so? They clearly didn't want to make it an anti air this time around.

It's not negativity at all but if you want the old Lantern's might back you can always play IGAU.

It's ok for your character not to have everything. There's no reason to give this character a free plus on block wakeup. Fix lantern's might and make 2231 plus 2 maybe. His damage is fine.

One for three off the roof
If/hopefully when the top tiers are nerfed a bit I think the only things I would want for GL would be a slightly smaller gap for trait cancels, and for 2231 to be +2.

Making the trait cancels as a backdashable gap would reduce some of his reliance on setup for trait, and still leave all of his options punishable without meter so I think it would be okay while still allowing him a way to get trait out reliably other than setup. Honestly the worst thing that would happen is that his hitconfirms become actual three-toed sloth friendly.
Making 2231 +2 on block would mean he actually gets a d1 check after plus frames rather than trading after plus frame.

Every wakeup has the ability to be baited/read so do me a favor stop asking for his already fine wakeup to be buffed, okay? You don't see me asking for Red Hood's abysmal wakeups to be buffed do you? And his are 10000x worse than GL's, so calm down your wakeup is fine just be smart about it. If Lantern's might has some legit whiffing issues then yes that should be fixed. His damage is on the lower/mid tier side of things which when you consider he toolset, it fine. It's not like he's hitting like Dr. Fate out here. 2231 is something I could see the plus frames on being changed or maybe make his D1 faster. MB Wall shouldn't be plus, we don't want Possessed 2.0 walking around here. Sure, give him less recovery on his dashes, i dont care.

I could maybe get behind lantern's might being a bit better (not quite IGAU1 level but at least more consistent) but besides that GL is fine. His frame data is good, his footsies are great, his zoning is passable, and his walk speed is great. He has his bad match ups and he has his weaknesses, but I honestly believe he's one of the most balanced characters in the game. Not every character can be Black Adam, Aquaman or Catwoman.

If someone legitimately calls Green Lantern top 5 they need to play against Batman, Atrocitus, Aquaman, Black Adam and Catwoman more. I don't think anyone is calling GL top 5, just not in need of any buffs in my ooinion because he is already good without noticeable weaknesses.

Edit: fixed 'Atrocitud' lol

You know me as RisingShieldBro online.
Lantern's Might fix is needed. It is so stupid when you do a b13 in the corner or off a b3 or f3 and it just whiffs.

If anyone in the world thinks he's top 5 they don't play the game. He's great but he can't compete with the tippy tippy top of the game.
