Disrespect and usefulness are two completely different things, otherwise Warlock Punch would be the best move in the game and taunts would be invincible. Green Missile is as situational as it gets. The only way you're going to get a kill with that is if you're deliberately fishing for a Misfire.
I'm still pretty annoyed, but I guess the roll nerfs and increased shield stun justify it. I don't think patching customs this early is the right time.
Luigis cyclone was only escapable at very low percents, anything over %60 highly unlikely. Even in competitive play. I remember Poyo beating Boss in Luigi dittos one game purely by being in rage and doing that combo to Boss 40%. Killed Boss twice. It was complete BS with Boss being a much grater player.
It's escapable at any percent, as long as your DI is pristine. As for the Poyo/Boss thing, that's Rage, not the Cyclone. If anything, Rage should be removed. Boom, instant quick-fix.
It has a 1 in 10 chance of misfiring. 10%. You definitely have to fish for it, unless you're carrying a horseshoe on you.
Oh well, i guess Luigi mains will need to advance their meta a bit, there's plenty of characters who have hardly any kill moves compared to Luigi.
Not really. The only characters with an honest, crippling lack of kill moves are Falco, Luigi and Jigglypuff. Everybody else has some other reliable method of killing. If not, they have something that makes up for it, like Lucario and Sheik.
But Luigi & Jiggly Puff have something a lot of characters don't, aerial mobility, Luigi also has one of the best combo games.
Unless you read the games coding, you won't be predicting a Misfire. You cannot predict or read a Misfire without doing 9 Green Missiles in a row and not getting one. There is an 11.11111...% chance of that happening. I did the math.
Luigi has aerial mobility? What? Luigi has one of the slowest air speeds in the game. It's been that way since 64. What game have you been playing these past few months? Honestly, now I'm starting to question if you even know what the hell you're talking about. Anyway, air mobility means ****-all if you can't do anything with it. That's why Jigglypuff is such a flawed character. And you're not hitting Cyclone on anybody who's not braindead in midair. If you mean reading air dodges, then neutral air is better for that anyway.
This is getting more and more pathetic as it goes on. Luck is not a factor in a serious match. RNG, yes, but I don't care who you are, you have no way of knowing when and where you'll get a misfire.
Luck can be a factor, how else do you think ZeRo's been undefeated for so long in serious tournaments like EVO and Apex or how players trying to get better magically beat someone like Nairo or HBOX on thier first game with them?
You don't have to predict a misfire. The Green Missile is in fact a chargeable attack, and when charged it does have kill power. You can force a foe offstage, read their recovery well in advance, and partially charge a Green Missile. You can also use a Green Missile as if you were going to end a combo by hoping for a misfire, but instead bait the airdodge by charging the move while falling right next to the opponent, releasing as their air dodge ends.
That's partly luck, and most likely partly Nairo/HBox fighting an unfamiliar opponent and not yet knowing their patterns. Plus, comparatively new players occasionally make technically sub-optimal plays that can still take an advanced player by surprise.
Yeah, that sounds like a combination of the two things I just said. Shofu probably got taken by surprise not expecting a "new" Little Mac to even try something like that and got styled on because of it. Then again, I've not seen it myself so… I dunno lol.
Someone gets it, i can be at peace now.
I have no idea then lol. Is there a video of this? It sounds amazing.
Found it:
but how is that a benefit to him? none of his attacks seem to benefit from that oddly specific ability
Have you seen the patch notes yet it says that some customs had been nerfed
But dare we say, none of the customs that matter?
I don't know if the patch notes are done yet, so only time will tell
It says Kirby's hammer's sweetspot got adjusted in a way harder to hit.
Most people didn't even realize EBT got nerfed the same way Balloon Trip did, so even if he was directly nerfed I imagine people wouldn't notice it.
Pretty sure there's no such thing as air traction. As for Green Missile, if you're reading recoveries, than you can just as easily spike with down air and Cyclone, both of which have a definite chance of killing. And if an opponent air dodges near me, I'm going to FJP them, not GM.
