So the way the flip works, I believe it has invincibility frames at the beginning of each flip. So she can eat bullets and explosions for a little bit after you press the button, but she's vulnerable after that until you press the button again. However, I've found a very fun trick (read: bug) that might make her S-tier by itself. If you press the melee button during her flip, the flip will reset. This is funny by itself, since you can just bounce around harmlessly and bump mooks around. But then I realized that the invincibility frames on the flip still get reset when you press the melee button, and the cooldown on this is nonexistent. Meaning, as long as you mash the melee button fast enough during her flip, she basically becomes completely invincible. Your ability to attack during this is limited, but you can do it with your chakram out. Either way, you can just bounce your way through the entire level (at least until you need to climb a wall or fight a boss) with relative impunity.
I note that her special is only useful if, in addition to being in a closed environment, it is high, low or has several floors, once I was on the middle floor of three floors of a building and a chakram just cleaned the entire three floors, the bottom one the top one and mine, because it needs to have distance between the upper and lower ricochets, in a low and straight closed environment, it just goes a few blocks forward and comes back to you, if there is an enemy in the middle distance the chakram will get close to it and then it will come back to you without even touching it, in other cases of open environment you will miss and it will leave the screen, taking a long time to return to you, I also thought her was the worst, for me it should have one way to choose when the chakram returns to you, because after a second or two it already tries to return, and it doesn't seem to target the enemies, just hitting them by chance, even if you calculate the trajectory they will quickly return to you leaving enemies behind, if they were to do a rework this is what i would think. Yeah big text sorry just love this game
her flip can deflect shots. it's a little touchy, but can really come in clutch during a race. from what i can tell she is only able to block shots that come from her jumping direction and she is vulnerable when she lands. so it isn't a perfect defense, but it gives her an option that a lot of other bros lack.
I forgot to heart this comment when I first saw it. I am planning on doing one, I've just been so busy with work, especially with spooky season going on that my free time to work on it has been basicly 0.
i'm not sure I have enough tips or tricks to fill a video, and i'm not nearly as proficient as i was back when i played broforce multiple times a week so i'm not sure i could really do a guide. that being said, my biggest tips would be just to make sure you learn each bro and each map. ironbro normal can be beaten by basically any bro, skipping fights is by far the best way to stay alive. i guess a tip would be to watch a few speed runs, you can really learn some interesting tips for what fights can be skipped and ways to skip basicly entire stages. ironbro hard is not meant to be beaten, and by that i mean it isn't balanced. i was lucky, i got my hard ironbro achievement back when hard was just a faster ai, but now it includes more and stronger mooks so if you want to do hard mode, take it slow and don't let it get to you, it is meant to be near impossible hard. even in arcade hard, the number of times i've gotten to the xenos or hell and just been swarmed into a bunch of stupid deaths is unbelievably high.
I haven't been able to make her flip do anything impressive, but a friend I play with has had some very impressive killing sprees with her. It seems like it might be partially to the fact that I use a keyboard and they use a controller, but it's probably more to do with a skill/style issue. As for her chakaram, it is very weird outside or in large places because she spikes it. if you can drop them in a small space their bouncing can shred enemies quickly. she was surprisingly powerful in the alien levels for that very reason.

Brooooooo i remember you! since 2014, I was ABSOLUTELY SURE that you would return to this
When I played her i believe either the flip or the sword swinging after the first flip deflected a normal shot as well.

love your vids could you do a final tier list

could you do an "ironbro tips and tricks guide". Im struggling with that mode
i'm not sure I have enough tips or tricks to fill a video, and i'm not nearly as proficient as i was back when i played broforce multiple times a week so i'm not sure i could really do a guide.

ironbro hard is not meant to be beaten, and by that i mean it isn't balanced. i was lucky, i got my hard ironbro achievement back when hard was just a faster ai, but now it includes more and stronger mooks so if you want to do hard mode, take it slow and don't let it get to you, it is meant to be near impossible hard. even in arcade hard, the number of times i've gotten to the xenos or hell and just been swarmed into a bunch of stupid deaths is unbelievably high.
If you spam your primary during a flip its very effective. Her special is also pretty useless in open areas imo. Works better indoor.

Good speed, but average on everything else. B+ rank. She need 3 special like Bromax
