Yep. I played him the whole first week he came out and got almost all his gear. He has the same kind of mistake baiting playstyle, but with better buttons, damage, safety, and a solid universal fireball Noob can only get in Dark Sabbath.
It takes me FOREVER to feel comfortable with a new character. Kollector and kitana are my only secondaries. I get annoyed playing against spawn but I'm getting curious if I'd enjoy playing him. Guess I gotta grind it out lol.
He's frustratingly slow for me. The only other people I've been close to Noob comfort level with are Raijin Raiden because of the Doomsday-ish simple but efficient approach, and Ace Of Knaves Joker because he's a relentless top tier killing machine. Beyond that, it's all Sabbath all the time. Once you finally get used to B1 1+3 timing and spacing out your F2's so you don't get D2'd out of your shoes, it's hard to feel settled elsewhere.
Slow, really? I messed around in the lab and his back and fwd walk speed seem the same if not a little faster than noob's. His dashes are stupid better.
That's true. Maybe it's just because he's a big floaty body type, like an Injustice Power character VS an Acrobatic type. I need to go back to the lab and try him out again in V3.
I believe you have to unlock them in the towers first. 30% or lower for the upshadow brute and 50% or more health for the ghost ball brute
The random towers that pop up? Ive completed the character towers
Yes. Some of those towers that pop up are Noob towers that have brutality as a reward. But you can also beat other towers (those that only have 1 boss tower) and if you beat it with good enough score you unlock brutal difficulty which if you beat it it can give you a brutality for a character you beat it with. That's the easiest and fastest way to farm brutalities. Except for DLC characters released after Joker. It doesn't work for them for some reason unless they fixed it.
Hes always been fun to use imo. But this a huge for us. Spirit ball slide and EXtele combo pretty much covers up alot if not all the holes he had in his game.
These will be pretty much the go-to variation moves to cover much of his holes. Or which other moves do you guys think would be useful?
Not sure if I’d trade the spirit ball for a AMP tele. I think just the air teleport will be quite useful against low projectiles to punish for a nice 16% and we’ll be back into range for more offense. Not sure though
This is what I went with. Air tele for cheeky jump kick combos that net around 300 for a bar if you have the tele combo special.
Very interesting. That could be a fun load out to test. And yeah trading with spirit ball is often in Noob's favor, although characters that have a low fireball would be a problem imo. that said some of them low profile the tele too :/
I know you can do AMP overhead into a teleport for like 20% from full screen, but that’s to be labbed further once everything comes out, who knows what they’ll change at this point
The overhead clone kind of sucks. If I recall correctly, the move starts up in 33 frames, is unsafe on block unless you amplify, and disappears on trades like the tackle.
