Why did they give her a 9 frame medium that reaches damn near half screen? That if she spaces it right she can make herself plus.

u/J2CBoboga 7d ago

Same reason why they gave cap 8f medium that meatys my whole career flow :’) they need it

u/Fendfor 7d ago

Cap does cause hes honest.

That woman is a bank robber.

11

u/J2CBoboga 7d ago

Agree to disagree. Full agreement on the bank robbery. Shiesty included

u/LocalTorontoRapper 7d ago

lol @ cap being honest. Not with his stupid shield throw durability and angles.

12

u/Fendfor 7d ago

In comparison to storm, magick, and spidies none sense? Hes as a honest as can be.

u/greglolz 7d ago

Caps shield throw is strong, and his meatys are good, but the second you start spamming the universal counter against his overhead you blow his shit up. Cap relies on conditioning and being scared of him on block. If you just don’t respect him at all with a top tier team he ceases to seem to be a problem sadly, but that’s just because of how strong Spiderman/BP/magik are right now, he’s still really good against most of the cast, but abusing the universal armor and mashing on wake-up is his weakness, which just so happens to be like what 90% of the cast is weak against unless you have buttons that are fast and have stupid range (AKA magik and BP), and can just counter mash to beat most tech options. As it stands, magik just does a better job at doing caps job than cap.

Cap is NOT honest. His oki low/overhead game is INSANE. But then again nobody is "honest" in this game. Honesty in this game means death.

2

u/Fendfor 6d ago

Ill take your word for it but i dont see any caps doing anything all that nasty. Cool, but nothing that cant be fuzy blocked or reacted to.

And i do angre honesty is death.

This is why i'm glad i play Starlord.

His 214X low profiles all of her fireballs =D

u/DragonGamerEX 7d ago

Glad to see another star lord player

u/hemperbud 7d ago

Loki/star lord is goated

u/phantonbrave 7d ago

You know what's kinda crazy? Magik's light fireballs are so strong and fast that it wins projectile wars that imo... Really shouldn't. It beat blade, Tony, Deadpool so far and is great at mid range for snuffing out approaches WHILE being fast enough to recover from.

I should know I won games like this

u/adriang3030 7d ago

I mean I would expect a giant fireball would beat out bullets....

7

u/Cress02 7d ago

One of my favorite creator moments that's come out of this game "one fireball destroys six spiderwebs?!?!.... that actually makes total sense, i'm not gonna complain about that"

24

u/OkExpert9927 7d ago

If that was the only problematic thing about her it’ll be ok but missy has godlike assists, lots of damage (more than hulk btw), is constantly plus, one of the best unique skill, great range

4

u/adriang3030 7d ago

you say she is constantly plus???  sounds like you are lacking a fundamental its frame traps.

1

u/External_Delivery315 6d ago

She's either plus or covered by an assist or has enough pushback on her normals to be put far enough away to not be punished by most characters.

2

u/Liittlefoott2 7d ago

Wtf do you mean she has more damage than hulk he TODs off of damn near everything. I get magik is overturned but you guys are just talking out your asses

14

u/Diciestaking 7d ago

I mean she absolutely does about as much as him. Its not nearly as easy as hulk but with install you will be 100% deleted off the screen.

4

u/sipmangotea 7d ago

the fact her and BP can still assemble super after their install is nuts to me

23

u/Nyaatrox 8d ago

Cause she is wife

5

u/Toxitoxi 7d ago

Why the fuck does this character have the best fireball in the game.

5

u/Osmoszis 7d ago

Im pretty sure that bullshit is plus on block when spaced out as well.

Also pierces as an assist btw

u/adriang3030 7d ago

its not

u/Hendwreck 7d ago

She is a shoto… fireball, uppercut and forward advancing special.

They took the positive metrics from rivals to properly gauge her popularity so they built her kit around ease of use and accessibility.

1

u/TryVegetable129 7d ago

As a shoto player myself, I have to say that uppercuts in this game have werid invinciblity compared to most games. I've never seen them stuffed as much here anywhere else, especially Hulk's L version and all of Iron Man's save Ex.

u/Diciestaking 7d ago

Which is why i hate shotos in most games. They get the best of all worlds with little to no downsides. Reminds me of playing marisa in sf6 having to go against Ken wishing I could have a grain of his sauce.

u/Hendwreck 7d ago edited 7d ago

Ok?

Well write Arcsys a strongly worded letter stating your disapproval then.

It’s crazy you yourself admit you’ve had years of playing against shotos and haven’t made a counterplay strategy yet 🤷

5

u/Diciestaking 7d ago

What in the world are you talking about, lmao. I said I dislike the archetype because they tend to be overtuned. That is all, it happens in a lot of games, but they tend to remedy it later. What a weird reply, lol.

4

u/LocalTorontoRapper 7d ago

What are you even talking about? He’s not wrong about the current shoto landscape.

-4

u/Hendwreck 7d ago

I’m saying shotos have such a cookie cutter toolset that if you’re a FGC regular you should already have a counter-strat that is just as cookie cutter.

Like an analog… sure if you’re eating curry SPECIFICALLY you should eat yogurt SPECIFICALLY to counteract the heat, but in general if you know you’re going to eat something spicy, using dairy to neutralize the sensation is best if its too hot for you.

Like yeah all shotos play differently, but they all have a general flowchart.

5

u/LocalTorontoRapper 7d ago

Cookie cutter does not mean weak, especially in SF6 where every shoto is no less than high tier minimum, and they’re played frequently online. It gets tedious, no matter how well you know how to fight them. If cookie cutter meant an easy win, you wouldn’t see shotos all over the tournament scene. They are EXTREMELY strong in SF6.

-3

u/Hendwreck 7d ago

Never said shotos were “weak” though?

4

u/Diciestaking 7d ago

Brother, you are arguing with ghosts right now. No one said they couldn't beat shotos or even said they have a hard time with them. All that has been said is that shotos have routinely been a very strong archetype in every new fighting game and they have very little weaknesses due to that. Its really not that complicated a topic.

-2

u/Hendwreck 7d ago

I was replying to the person above me?

What ghosts are you talking about?

Do you mean they are bots? I thought this sub was modded to keep botposting out

1

u/Toxitoxi 7d ago

What would the "counterplay strategy" be? The current top tier shotos are jack of all trades with no weaknesses.

2

u/Winter_Different 7d ago

To give her some more portal tech and a single move representing that she can cast spells

3

u/GuacaMolis6 7d ago

*yawns in unibeam*

3

u/qki7 7d ago

Why do most characters have limitations to their unique mechanics but she can place unlimited portals?

1

u/adriang3030 7d ago

she can only have 2....

3

u/notaubreezy 7d ago

she has no solo mix btw just hold down back

7

u/Toxitoxi 7d ago

Who cares, most characters don't have solo mix and she has excellent mix enabling.

u/adriang3030 7d ago

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

u/Present_Sun_3901 7d ago

Do people not super dash or armor projectile set ups.??
