GA zoning is really caca, shit, poop.
Did you now that if I'm full screen and I throw an arrow followed by another one, and you do a Lance Blast, even if I manage to block it I'd have taken 1.88% of chip (7% if I don't) while you'll take 1.1% of damage? You can literally outzone GA with Lance Blast e____________________e.
Crap. I thought he was serious LOL.
No butthen lol
I kind of caught it, but I have no idea if it is a reference to anything? The fact that he wrote that he still thinks Lex wins make the troll much more subtle though
Let's not make this a match up discussion, because it isn't. If you want to discuss the match up, come here:
This isn't really all that true - it's highly dependent on what you trade with and the distance you get a hit from. A lot of times it can just wind up wasting an arrow. And keep in mind that GA is a low damage character by any practical standard, swag combos aside. Trades are a proportionally greater problem for him due to his lesser ability to take it back.
It's not. Ice arrow lasts nothing, it's not like sub's ice balls. All you can do is load another one while the other guy defrosts. A frozen arrow full screen let's you do 2 dashes and a b3 and nothing more. If you don't have time to do 2 dashes and a b3, you can do a string and we all know GA strings are as hard to block as batgirls'.
Xcuse me, this is the GA forums where GA bitching occurs. Am I going to your subforums to bitch? Am I calling you a downplayer every 5 seconds? No, then what's the point of this post?
I dont see the point of calling out a developer on a character he designed cause you disagree with how he may fit in the game.
What's so bad about enlightening us with the power of game design? I asked, what's the reason why arrows do so little damage and so little chip, with little reward and a lot of risk?
ok i should say ice arrow can be better at trading than regular arrow. green arrow's really fortunate his air ice arrow grants a combo on an airborne opponent instead of them shattering on the ground.
at least you got two dashes and are in their face now.
yeah. how would you like to be in a super laggy online match with green arrow who gets a full screen projectile with 1 button? it would be murder if it did more chip than it does. i know you complain about lag a lot so you know how it is.
Smarr doesn't understand, he play Black Adam,
Yes, the real reason i came in here was to gloat about how much better my character was and throw it in the Green Arrow players faces. I would totally do that since i didnt play a character that was probably way less viable in his game than Green Arrow is in this one.
It's not a better trade. Better trade would be fire arrows, but how often do you have them out.
Just like every character in the game.
I really hope you're joking with this one. Do you actually think there's a difference between doing df for a projectile than pressing a button? Do you actually think anything would change? And yeah Arrow's zoning is a non-issue, because he loses every trade with everything.
I dont remember asking Paulo why Rain wasnt as good as like Kabal or something. Im just saying i dont get the point. If you actually wanted to get insight on his design why would you publicly post this instead of maybe trying to personally ask him. Putting it out in the open like this almost seems like you are calling him out for the design as if its flawed.
I'm not sure why you are in actually. But thats what it seemed like, yup.
No but you did mention that he was trash in every available outlet you had (even in your second to last post here!). They do read this stuff you know, they all know who we are, tagging someone is just a formality. Yeah I want insight (as someone who has made 3 video games in his life and wants to learn moar), but I also think the character is flawed, why? Because he can't do anything against the tools other characters have. That's why he has so many bad match ups. His projectiles are just a tiny bit of his problem. Knowing the reason of why he has such a shitty damage and trade in his projectile would be a nice start to figure out his strengths in the zoning game.
Not gonna lie. I abuse this fact like a goddamn scumbag.
yes what i just said. you're going to have trouble doing standard special move commands in lag, but no matter how laggy it is, you can always mash circle/b. that's one of the many reasons his arrows do crappy chip. it's obvious why they do crappy chip, and don't bother asking the devs why it does crappy chip because the answer is probably one of the testers told them to.
