Man this sucks. Where is the anti weaker technology?
Damn, I knew air x factor would hurt pheonix but not like this. Pheonix hasn't been doing very well in tournaments but this proves the bitch is dead. Sure it's not absolute but its an incredible mind game, its too risky to use her now. Already poor help, needs 5 meters, can't use meter and now this? The bitch is done.
Nice sh*t, Fagcom. Not only that I have to mash side exchange whenever I am being comboed like a lunatic, now I need to worry about this mixup?
TAC is the STUPIDEST mechanic in any fighting game I've ever seen. What kind of logic lies in rewarding the user for a 2/3 chance?
Thats it Guys, this dude just put the final nail in Phoenixs coffin.CAPCOM just patch her out and put in a new female character like Mrs Marvel
@ 12
After you stop using Wesker and Sentinel as a crutch.
@15 shout outs to all the real wesker monsters, the people who play him on point :)
@10 TACs aren't that useful anyways (besides the gaining/removing of supers). I can do more damage with my original character than doing a TAC or two and finishing it off with another character. Also, why take a chance that they can counter your TAC therefore losing any potential damage you could've done. I only use TAC when I want to remove/gain a super or want to switch out characters, and even then, I do it sparingly.
Just churn butter! It prevents TAC more often than not.
TAC is not useless, its great to use to get in a team member safely if you dont have hyper meters to do so and you dont loose your red health. its better than hard tag in and get punished.
Oh! I thought we were talking about the lawyer, not the mutant.
Cool, I guess.
@22 lol, overnerfed? Every Tron main from vanilla would like a word with you. Oh, not to mention the lawyer mains from month one.
Jean is still good, even with this existing. You know what nullifies this entire mixup? Shocking Pink assist. Sure, Joe's a weird fit for a Phoenix team, but you should have to work to get the beast, right?
With Phoenix I do everything possible to trick my opponent into dealing enough damage outside of combo'ing her because online, you don't even need that trick...exhanges just work majority of the time, mashing or not.... So by the time you knock her into the air, your aircombing is too much damage to exchage her
No this won't work i play phenix and that won't work on me. sorry :)
@28 lol....Was you dropped on your head as a child? Seems it
And nope i have a university degree, a few additional qualifications in my related industry. My education is fine thank you, it is yours i worry for though. You can't even debate to primary school standards without resorting to dragging it down to non-sensical childish comments.
TAC's are fine, they're nowhere near pointless nor are they overpowered.
@27 how won't this work its a complete 50/50 even more so, you guess wrong on the first TAC you lose a bar plain and simple unless you guess right the first time i already tried it online against a non scrub DP it worked
Do people really think Phoenix is "dead" xD? I reckon it's the same ppl who thought Wolverine was done or Vanilla Sentinel was OP.
Mark my words, as soon as we see Phoenix do well in a major, the chats will be blown up with sarcastic "She was nerfed?" comments. Competent players will keep her alive with proper team building (people that don't use her a crutch I mean) and will still blow up other teams in less than 10 seconds flat upon Dark Phoenix's arrival.
TL;DR Don't be fooled. Despite keeping DP subdued being more manageable in Ultimate, she's still a problem.
As for this topic though, this is some pretty cool tech. T'is a mind game that will weed out the brain dead Phoenix users and force 'em to really keep on their toes. Nice find =)
The entire feature of remove a "super meter" was created as a anti dark phoenix option. It is a surprise that is not until now that players found that it is a great factor in any match when Phoenix is in.
She got too nerfed and they can remove meters from you now. She is pretty useless now if you fight someone that know what he must do to win.
How is this "overpowered" tech? This REQUIRES you to have at least 2 characters left + XF + Phoenixs hp high enough to not die before the SECOND TAC hits... Not really overpowered, if you manage to pull off this situation out on a phoenix you outplayed her, plain and simple.
I just wrote a massive rant on why I think Phoenix is still good. Feel free to have a read: http://shoryuken.com/forum/index.php?...
How does THAT feel in your chest Viscant?
