WAssssUPPPP! - Ghostface General Discussion

If you watched the QA match, you can see Ghostface get hit out of command run when they try to do it off of a string.

And no, you're not just "spending meter to stagger somebody."

You're spending meter for fast fireballs(including a diagonal one that recovers very fast), a re-stand, pressure, and another launcher option.

Part of mental stack in fighting games is being able to throw different stuff at the opponent to try and open them up. Kobra is just another layer. Another option.
restands into phone call mixps are going to be sick, i'm very tempted to get ghost face as well lmao.

You mention stuffing the run, but don't mention what happens when you stuff ANY of the other Killers attacks, or even just neutral. A d1 punish on Base is a check, a d1 punish on an alt killer is a full launching combo, that you probably wont be able to break because you spent meter to switch in the first place.

I'm getting Embrace Khaos vibes off of this. Where it's a super cool idea, but not worth the cost.

Speculation ofc, we don't fully know anything yet. But imo I think Killer switch shouldn't cost meter, but you should also remove the Geras Ethereal "can't be combod" property of it. Maybe remove the timer too

I have to say, I was very down on this guest, but he dose look cool AF. Great stabby, stabby moves and he dose not come off looking stupid like I was worried about. Also loved the teleports being a "2nd" killer. Very cool.

Not sure what the glowing projectile is supposed to be "lore" wise... but everything else is bang on. I do not mind the projectile thing at all I should state.

Be interesting to see how the skins work out for this guy... I mean a black cape and the mask looks cool, but how is that going to look all gold or pink lol.

When ever I see one of these horror guests, which imo are the best guests, I just want them to make a proper terradome game. All WB horror icons as the sole focus of the game. It wouldn't even be that hard, most of the big names already have gameplay designs.


Do you think that fatality will have a random person playing instead of Jonny? Or maybe they edited in Johnny and the player is who ever the fatality was performed on?

Wait. No, a d1 check isn't a full combo. In the cast, they hit Ghostface with spear and d2 and he was able to appear on the otherside before Scorpion could move.

They explicitly talked about this on the Kast.

And that's before we get to potential ambush use. Look, it's okay to not like the character.

I'm trying to stay in character and not say some very unkind things, but not only are these goalposts moving but I feel like you and I did not watch the same Kombat Kast.

I will say that we won't know much of anything until it's in our hands.

I never said I didn't like the character, I'm just discussing what I'm seeing lol.

You mention hitting the spear and d2, but that's exactly what I'm talking about. Yeah moves like spear and other long recovery moves will let GF punish you, but a d1 makes it so you recover first. You might be able to straight up get a standing punish before he can recover, and a d1 special cancel almost guaranteed will be a full launching punish.
