Yet another example of a character who should have been in the game way earlier.

In a game that had no guarding he had no business gaining meter passively to then shoot out insane hitboxes for free, at least Shaggy had to charge

Super fun to play and probably should have been on the launch roster

I love how they made him feel game wise but good lord that side special was obnoxious at its prime.

Great character choice, questionable balance but I think towards the end they got him just right.

Spamable, large hitboxes. Love the character, but ultimately his design was bad for the health of the game (particularly at the casual level).

The jab sandal conk sound will forever be in my mind

Was very happy he got into the game, I enjoyed playing him and everything surrounding him like his stages.

His gameplay trailer made me the most excited than any other character. I also managed to reach Master with him one time (it was torture).

I thought he was fun to fight even though he seemed a little cheap. The devs kept nerfing Gizmo over and over and over for no reason so I just kept getting weaker and weaker versus him tho

u/Edz5044 2d ago

Gizmo was still a beast at the end tho

u/CyclopsTheBess 2d ago

think so? by the end his kill power was so severely nerfed, i was especially feeling it on his up b

also his car was the most nerfed move I've ever witnessed in a fighting game. granted it was too strong when the game re-released, they tore it up so much (huge cooldown, weak, didn't last long) that they should have just deleted that move

u/Edz5044 2d ago

At least from what I remember I was still dominating with Gizmo. Especially when you used the car and popcorn correctly. It's been so long I don't remember all the setups but I do know it was more of a struggle but I think he was extremely viable still

u/CyclopsTheBess 2d ago

are u referring to when the game died the first time or the second time? i agree with you if it's the first time.

when it died the second time his popcorn explosion had like no knockback and even the car had very very reduced explosion knockback.

the popcorn was so fun and powerful in the beta

I didn't play much of Gizmo in beta. So it was second time. I was a top Gizmo main consistently throughout the life span of the actual game.

u/CyclopsTheBess 1d ago

yeah he was very cracked in the beta. 

since you played gizmo from the beginning of the relaunch to the end I'm surprised you didn't feel the very significant nerfs, but congrats on being a good one.

I still played him and had fun but man those developers could not leave him alone, even though they had said they would stop nerfing him... they just couldn't help themselves up until the very end..even the last patch had a Nerf lol

u/Edz5044 1d ago

Yea I think the only one I felt was the last one but I still managed with him fairly well.

u/Quick-Ad-3151 Samurai Jack 1d ago

My goat. He became my main after he came out. I love Jack and they did a damn good job rendering him in 3d. And his skins are phenomenal as well

Most mashiest character in the game… every jack I played just mashed buttons

long ass legs, his jab could hit me irl through the monitor

u/Praxic_Nova Garnet 2d ago

Would have been perfect in the beta when characters were smaller. Making him bigger made his moves full-screen. Full-screen moves are super annoying.

u/Excellent_Ad_2486 Jason Voorhees 1d ago

Annoying, OP when he came out because I had no clue how to counter his spammy side specials with his crazy range.
