N0M3RCY602 if you can recognize his strings he's no problem. Ducking full screen or up close is ideal seeing that hus fireballs are highs and traps are low, also he can ONLY combo with over heads with lvl 3 trait. He also can't trap full screen so easy to counter zone and his fireball mediocre at best.
YoungDre'sBaby What do you mean he can only combo with overheads with level 3 trait?! Pretty sure 113 becomes a low launcher as shown in the video and does molten trap disappear in level 3 trait and I wasn’t aware of it?
Monkey Strike 113, B2 and B12 only bounces on lvl3 trait that's what I mean. It's harmless otherwise just a hard knockdown the opponent can use for a good invincible wake ups unless wake ups are more like Black Adam. It's best to restand with firestorm to keep positive advantages. His molten trap doesn't reach from one corner of the screen to the other so any projectile based characters can out zone him especially deadshot with his rifle, that attack both ducks firestorm high fireball and push back at the same time.
N0M3RCY602 I play at a high level so I agree especially on the mirror match. Seems like I've yet to play a firestorm that can keep positive frames but I've been playing firestorm since week 2 of ESL path to pros tournaments. Most people just picked him up after his recent buffs.
Does anyone else always put show inputs off because their inputs are so ugly like I press mb 6-7 times because I never bother learning the actual timing while raptor's inputs are so clean
TRT jeff I do the same thing. Theres nothing wrong with pressing MB 7 or 8 times. Where it gets ridiculous is when people mash their wakeup input or mash 111111111 after a jumpin and still get the cancel theyre looking for.
I mash wakeups in mkx when I use jason. His different wake ups all have different ways to avoid them It's kind of like a 50/50. And when I mash I don't even know what move will come out.
Deadly Girl same here. I'm not as bad with it in Injustice, but in MKX when I would upload videos of combos and whatnot I'd turn them off because some things I just didn't understand the timing on. Like Jacqui's stanky leg, I'd just hit S4, up, then mash 4
nah, fuck this character too strong everywhere on the screen. Staggers, 50/50's, full screen 400 dmg combos, good zoning, plus frames, air dash, good wakeups, decent advancing normals. Nerf his damage, frame data, or make his traited molten trap not hold people for as long as it does.
Start adapting to the game and learn how to beat these mechanics instead of complaining about it. Nobody played firestorm when the game came out so I actually agree with his buff and there's nothing wrong with him. He's as good as he is even though he personally isn't my main
You realize you can't actually beat a 50/50 you can flip a coin but you cannot beat chance. You have to guess side, and overhead/low??? 2 coin flips just doing the math you're going to guess wrong 50% of the time and the chance of guessing 2 50/50's in a row is lower. and allowing him to do this to take your healthbar in two combos. Not to mention his 500 damage unclashable. C'mon tell me this isn't the least bit too strong.
I am SiN Maybe he is a little strong but half of the roster has 50/50 mix ups (Batman,Black Adam, Superman,etc) so firestorm having one isn't too bad. And also if anything Black adam needs a damage nerf because he can deplete half of your life with one bar. Firestorm needs his trait to do his mix ups and cost meter so it really isn't that big a deal
You do also know that precision is key to beating 50/50. Anti air or armor or even having a fast reaction to where the opponent might hit. I block about 80% of some 50/50 mix ups because of precision and also a lot of pro players too. It's hard but it's not impossible. Learn how to adapt
theddfreak You have to guess, that's why its a 50/50 mix up the tell of the J2 input is too short to see visually and then block, the opponent decides whether to hit in front or crossup and as the defender you need to guess based on their playstyles. It's mostly a 50/50 but if you notice an opponent always going for the crossup hit, then block the crossup more, etc.
man this character is top 5 easily. Cant zone, cant play footies with. Once he goes blue your fucked ask every dragon ball super villain

YoungDre'sBaby thats all easier said then done bro. I personally dont mind him, but man at a high level hes great

Jony I mean like... My execution is pretty good I use grodd but damn.... It aint pretty in the match replays lol
Nah my inputs are so clean just like that guy raptor lol

Welp...We're fucked
Damn this is brutal

Oml why u gotta do me like that he's my main every time I face some one they rarely block my mix up cuz they never seen it now people got an idea :(
Man u would destroy me 😂😂😂
How do you guess which way it's gonna lend? I feel like a lot of ppl are abusing this stuff online and there is no real way to guess? Just pure luck?

Do you know what a guess is?
It's called 50/50 for a reason
Nerf. Yes or no?
Joshua Ponco no, you can block it
we all know Firestorm is going to get nerfed, we're only delaying the inevitable
Hello Coyote same thing with bat man but he was nerfed
Was this ever patched
Why help the rich homie
