Spawn General Discussion Thread

[Ck AeroVoid]

I spent about half an hour farting around with the character in the lab earlier today and....

Sounds really fun!

 

[Ck AeroVoid]

what Tourney var. will you likely play?
I am liking the chain reaction so far

 

[Benlo]

Tested him. First impression : kinda feels like Swamp Thing from Inj 2, slow attacks, high damages, kinda same animations.

 

[Jowabunga]

I was gonna try #3 first, but on second thought #2 might be easier to grasp while I'm getting him down. His chain stance from #3 is really interesting to me.

I'm beginning to see what might be a problem for Spawn. In sets against him, I've been reacting to his F2 and flawless block U2'ing it on reaction, kind of like how you can flawless block kotals F2 on reaction. This might be pretty detrimental to his gameplan if you can do this consistently.

 

[Sugarwatermixlegit]

So, his default variation name is Hell Raiser. The name of his first competitive variation is For Hell.
So, logically, when you make the variation name For Hell, the game tells you no because bad language
Omegalul what

 

[Jowabunga]

I thought the first variation (guns) name was Locked and Loaded...

Flawless blocking kotals f2 on reaction? dayum

The names in the Kombat Kast aren’t actually the variation names, it’s just what Stephanie calls them

 

[Jowabunga]

Doh. Well nothing's stopping you from naming them whatever you want so long as you remember what you called 'em. I think I'll name my variation #1 Infernal Pudding.

Bull.

 

[spidey300]

can you not do spawn lethal glide more than 3 times or is this some kindof training mode bug?

 

[Lt. Boxy Angelman]

You can only do it twice.

V2's damage is ridiculous.
I see it being hands and feet better than 1 or 3.

 

[fluffybunbunkittens]

Yep. When the other variations just do gimmicks and are reliant on an unsafe launcher to do anything more, but one variation can convert any random jab into a safe launcher (surrounded by more damage from multi-air-hits, and still keeping the absolutely ridiculous Fatal Phantasm as an ender), it's kind of hard to view them being designed as equals.

Buuuuut because I hate playing anything good, I'm most interested in v1, with its lame divekick. Surely that low shot cancel must be good for something too. sigh

 

[Kiss the Missile]

Shit is disappointing. Either I play the fun combo variation, or I finally get the Breaker Buster I've wanted for a year. NRS refuses to let me enjoy this game

 

[DarksydeDash]

First variation seems to be his worst. The loss of a projectile really hurts and his projectile parry only works if he is not lunging forward. The best part is easily the soul shatter club because everyone wants to break on you and simply doing s2 club makes them pay for it.

 

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

Are console players allowed to use his V1 name in Kustomize?

 

[fluffybunbunkittens]

Yeah, v1 losing Necro Blast is definitely more awkward than expected. You have nothing to contest getting zoned on. If the divekick was better, I could see an alternate route for him, but it's... really bad.

 

[Eldriken]

How does one let something like this happen? I know it's small, but holy shit. >.>

 

[DeftMonk]

So D1 is +15 on hit just like Joker's. What's going on. Only these hyped guests will have those? Why can't everyone get them so everyone can easily jail. So Spawn can do D1 into 11, hit confirm for full combo or be +2 if blocked. 90% of the cast can't even jail into S1 on reaction.

Aren’t terminator’s downpokes hella plus too?

 

[Marinjuana]

You can do the amplified version of BF3 at any distance, it tracks the opponent.

V1's low shots seems like it could be cheap with it countering lows on top of being a good move in general and he gets to keep that cheap restand, but V3 is the one for me I think.

 

[Jowabunga]

Working on a combo with v2. Is this character bugged or am I losing my mind?

Combo: b12-24-bf3MB-1-DB3.

My issue is the db3 almost never goes off correctly because either 1) the move is input correctly and it just never starts up or 2) I get a mysterious 2 appearing in the command audit after the 1 that causes the move not to go. I've done this thing at least 50 times already doing my buttons staccato and I'm still getting the goddamn 2 frequently. Outside the combo I do 1-db3 100% of the time without issue. What the hell?

 

[Trini_Bwoi]

V1 and V3 seem kind of awful. V2 is where it's at.

Also, Spawn's aerials seem a bit uninspired.

 

[Sugarwatermixlegit]

This morning I was thinking V1 was his best but now I’m thinking it’s ez his worst. I feel like he needs his fireball.
V2 and V3 both seem pretty solid. One is straight up big damage, and the other has decent zoning and some cool gimmicks. He still feels a little clunky to me, idk how to word it, but that’s going away as I play more.

 

[Kiss the Missile]

My fucking heart dropped when I saw his akimbo guns don't fire full screen. That shit is the lamest thing I have seen in this game. Spawn walking forward like a badass, holding out short ranged sparklers. Shake my fucking head man
