This tournament was crazy good. My thoughts on Cold aside, Fox played out of his mind. Really impressive stuff from him and the rest of top 8.
Defend the North -- Red Hood
I knew was forgetting something.Defend the North -- Red Hood
i think this is the first time we have had a different character win each major in nrs history
He is also a cheat, but then again, so is God.
Love the shots fired at the CC community.
Injustice 2 isn't as popular as MKX over here, but I don't think people were bored tbh. You could hear people going crazy during exciting moments.
fuck your god.
I will just ask you this question: If Sonic didn't use any of the what was changed for Cap Cold after the patch, and he could've use that tech and gameplan without the patch, that means that Captain Cold was never bad at all, because those stuff weren't touched at all. So it's safe to say that Captain Cold was never bad, it's just that nobody actually found that tech and gameplan before Sonic and just jumped to conclusions, is that right?
Lol what? That was the gameplan for Cold and what Cold players have been doing since release. You just can't do it against over half the cast.
I don't know for sure really, I think he plays Tekken 7 since he's a huge Tekken fan but I'm not quite sure, I did see him on MKX online a couple of weeks ago though.
Being a mid-tier isn't a bad character. Yes it isn't a top tier, but it's not bad at all. The fact that he can be great at some MU's and that Sonic managed to take full advantge of Cap Cold, including the fact that, according to you, the people didn't know the MU, that only showed that Cap Cold can be good. And even if he would happen to lose, Sonic has Red Hood as a counter character. I main Sub-Zero (as well as Poison Ivy before Sub came) and I know I have to pick at least one character as a counter character.
So probably he doesn't play injustice 2. Too bad
I hear you man.So probably he doesn't play injustice 2. Too bad
You're 99% correct with the mention that Cold was bad and still is. He's a bit under mid tier and that is not a good place. He needs small buffs and fixes so he can be playable in more than 3-4 matchups.
You didn't answer my question. All of what you said regarding the comparison to Bane at all doesn't answer my question.
Are you asking what's bad about a character that loses 90% of matchups? That doesn't apply to Cold btw, he's not that bad lol.
But if that tech and gameplan were known from day 1, did everyone else used that and found out that he isn't good? Because it seems to me that people didn't try enough and jumped into conclusions too fast. Correct me if I'm wrong.
No, people used that tech. The problem is it only works in a select few matchups, and against people who know how to fight cold you can't get away with everything Sonic did. This tournament just proved that Sonic is on another level, not that Cold is some secret high mid character.
And what about the swaggy combos that people just found recently? Just curious.
The ones that are due to the patch? They help, but don't help the fundamental flaws that makes the bad matchups bad. He's always had great setups and combos.
I see, well I don't main Captain Cold, and I also never fought against him yet, so I can't really say that much, but I do think that now Sonic Fox won, people should at least check him again, just saying.
Captain Cold is a utlity character. He does very well in a couple of match ups, mostly characters who don't have (good) projectiles and have to get in on him, but that's about it. I am 100% against the idea of having characters that are for specific match ups only, but NRS did say that "Cold does very well against certain characters, so he's fine the way he is". I guess that means that's the way they wanted to design the game.
I don't think they meant to say tthey intentionly wanted to make him good for only 4 MU's, maybe there more, not a lot, but still more
