Poor translation or something. It's a scarf because it's a Kamen Rider reference, a series that Kamiya is a big fan of.
No, Karsticles, I have never played UMVC3 in my entire life.
We're pretty far off track for a discussion about how much fire is around her, but the personal attacks and "read dahbomb's list of crap everyone knows about phoenix and the metagame" suggests we won't get any further. There's more to the game then lists of shit. also, yes, I play as much, watch as much, and get as far as you guys in tournaments-- not top 8, not top 16, not top 32, happy to not go 0/2. sheesh.

fuckin' called it, man
If it's a cape then Viewtiful Joe is a terrible tribute

I always respond to argumentative posts with as much effort as the person I am responding to gave me.
This:
Is a piece of shit statement. So I returned the favor.
Alright just checked some Kamen Rider shit, they wear a scarf so I guess that settles that since Joe is based off of them. Although a lot of sites have it listed as a pink cape so I guess there were some mistranslations on the way.
I am not quite sure what the discussion was or what people would like to be changed on her. I don't think we can even start thinking about changing her before changing the TAC stuff first.
The fire projectiles that come out of her attacks is what makes her strong among a few other things. It's what allows her to even fight against sword normal characters.

The handful that are played.
I certainly don't think that Phoenix needs any buffs as a character. She has problems and she should, but that doesn't stop a bunch of players use her as a crutch to effectively make it out of pool play and into elimination rounds.
Admittedly, I really don't like fighting against her, and hate seeing her win.
Dark Phoenix really doesn't need those to fight sword characters. I don't necessarily think they need to be removed, but she's not dependent on them. A character with her movement options, a divekick, giant tracking projectiles, super fast teleport, wallbouncing traps, and invincible projectile super doesn't need much of anything with her damage output.
My apologies if it came off as shitty.
It wasn't about the projectiles or anything. I have no problems with the character, aside from feeling like her visual elements could be toned down or just made clearer with better color separation. I was suggesting less fire effects on her character model as a nerf, but honestly, I think it might even help people who play her too. That's all. Maybe my eyes suck lol
You gotta start following Skullheart on Twitter, bro.
I think they really need to make the visual appearance different for alternate Phoenixes. Like when 2 DPs are active they look too similar.
I don't mind clearing up the visual effects so its easier to see. I just don't think the character should be tinkered with balance wise before system mechanics are fixed.

That goes for any character.

The two characters who need their visual effects cleared up the most are Dormammu and Super-Skrull. Those goddamn block bubbles...

Clackwork? Does that mean he is playing melee?
why not just get rid of cross ups

Because that's as stupid as getting rid of high low mix ups.
I really don't understand the flame carpet hitbubble. There appears to be a magic position where you fucked yourself over... whiffs on crouch, but hits on stand.

Capes are boss. I hope sometime before I die capes come back in style so I can go grocery shopping wearing a cape and shit without people thinking I'm a weirdo or have downs or something.
Cloaks too.
Cloaks too.
Moreso for Phoenix as Vanilla proved you can totally make or break her by changing around the system mechanics.
A fighting game that has no mix ups.

How would this even be possible?
I'm not following you.
I think you can realistically pull a cloak off these days.
If you're in a position directly next to a flame carpet, it will whiff you while you're crouching, so you can't pushblock to get away... and the moment you stand, it actually hits because it's a low and suddenly standing brought you into its hit bubble. It's a relatively minor detail, but it seems to happen to me all the time. It's likely character specific with different distances.

Oh okay. That's not a Flame Carpet issue, it's a character hitbox issue. When most characters crouch, their horizontal hitbox becomes smaller. When they stand, it becomes wider. It would take a system-wide change to make a difference.

Champ is looking in top form.
The salt levels are going to be high no matter who wins... ChrisG or Champ.
French Fries will definitely do that to you.

Poor Flocker lol.
Also Champ already stated he will be using Phoenix at CEO and saving Dorm for EVO. I don't even expect him to win that, he's playing a long term game here.

God damn that game is ugly.
The folks locally seem to be sticking with TTT2. It's not like Rev is ever going to be a tourney game anyways.
