SuperBot Looking Into Ranked 1v1 & Timer For Stock/Kill, Focus On "Balancing" Drake, Raiden, Kratos

SuperBot Entertainment hosted a Q/A chat and were far more forthcoming than one would expect.

As long as they don't remove the option of playing Stock without a time limit for offline I'm fine with that part.

[Rykoshet]

Yeah it's as I've said; the more options, the better. As it stands there's an issue with finding a competitive standard because with no timer there's no chance to play stock or kill in a competitive setting.

I really hate Raiden! Cheapest level one super in my opinion. I understand reasons for Drake and Kratos even though I like playing as them. Sackboys nerf seems pretty fair for me so far so I'm sure these nerfs are going to be the same I hope

[Lord_Sloth]

Not even close. Sly's level 1 is the cheapest. There's also nothing you can do to interrupt it.

If you're on uneven ground Raiden's will likely miss you and has trouble hitting Toro even on level ground. It also have a very telltale "You're mine!" when he starts it so all you have to do is roll. It's as easy to avoid as Kratos' level 1. Anything you hear "HADES AWAITS!" Just move and bam. You're safe.

@Rykoshet
And Sly can also turn invisible so he doesn't really need any setups since he could be standing right outside the fray and nobody else in the fight would really notice.

[Rykoshet]

Difference is raiden has six confirmed setups into his level 1, while sly maybe has one.

[TheFirstClassic]

His level 1 is the best in the game, no question about it.

[Y_5150]

I wonder if they are going to nerf Good cole's level three. Which I heard from sources that it's a little overpowered.

[Paranoidplayer24]

Those three characters need a nerf badly I'm glad they are looking into it. Plus a 1v1 ranked would make me cry happy tears. But at the same time as nerfing they also need to buff. Sir Dan and big daddy specifically. Mostly big daddy

[Rykoshet]

Without question the 3 characters that need the most help are Radec, Dante, and Sir Dan. Nariko comes in behind those.

[Paranoidplayer24]

Sorry why dante? He has easy 150 ap combos angle dash gets you anywhere he can combo out of throws has a sick conter AND can combo out of a move that hit behind him PLUS he can combo he level 1. Dante is a tier dude. Radec is also fine the way he is u have to learn how to use down square effectively. He is b tier. Nariko may need a small buff but not to much. The characters that desperately need it are sir Dan and big daddy

[Tonester925]

I great with Sir Daniel! There's nothing wrong with him

[Veneno]

I agree with sir Dan and Dante. Narikos only problem is her level one super. It should be cheap like Nate Drakes. The hit box should be bigger and it shoild be faster as she can get hit out of it so easily. Her level 2 is ass but as long as level one is good it is acceptable.

And WTF? Raiden is annoying but definately not overpowered. His level one is scrubby but it is completely predictable.

Theres only one character in my opinion that needs to be nerfed (after the sackboy nerf). And thats SLY COOPER. He builds meter by doing nothing and his level one and 3 are waaaaaay too powerful.

[TheFirstClassic]

The only characters I felt that needed to be nerfed were sackboy and sly, after that everyone else is ok. Nariko does need to be able to pump that level 1 out faster, or maybe keep the same speed but once that character next to her fires the shot it can't be interrupted.

[MizTv]

lol i hate playing against sly. i consider him a asshole

[Beetey]

Wait, what? Raiden needs nerfed? Dang, and here I was thinking I was such a bad-a**...

;)

[DarkBlood]

i use nariko as my main but i cant seem to block or attack against raiden or dante once they hit me with thier swords they got me locked in and im finish till they stop or someone else interferes it seems you can get easy kills but i decide to stick with nariko till i can find a way to annoy them with her lol

[RmanX1000]

*claps hands* THANK YOU.

[WeAreLegion]

Yes. Nerf Raiden. PLEASE.

[MizTv]

noooooooooooooooooooooo

[Reverent]

I seriously don't think he needs nerfed. MAYBE make him gain AP a little slower, but other than that, he's 100% perfectly fine. If anyone needs nerfed, it's Sly. Just Sly.

[r21]

They gotta do something bout Big Daddy's level 1, its practically useless unless you've got everyone cornered. Its freaking difficult to finish the level 1 supers trial!

[smashcrashbash]

Too bad people don't use Fat Princess more. She is more powerful then people think she is. A person who has mastered her can plow through even the most used characters. Her fire wizard and knight attacks are very effective especially the knight's diagonal slash and her ballet spin, ground spin and flying drop can take down multiple people at once. But of course people will pick the most cheap characters and just spam their attacks over and over again. I am not sure what people who cheat or play cheaply think they are accomplishing. Are you trying to prove how much of a lame @$$ gamer you are or something.

[Cosmit]

Lol you have issues man.

[WillGuitarGuy]

I think Jak needs a buff. He has weak combos, slow weapons and switching, and it easy to dodge. I main with Ratchet and I haven't lost to Jak once because of how underpowered he is. It'd be great if you could do a spin jump after his two hit to air combo. That and they could give him a rolling jump dodge like in the Jak & Daxter series, to balance him a bit more.

[smashcrashbash]

That is not true. Once you get the hang of Jak he is not easy to get close to but once you do then is where the problems start. Jak was never meant to be a close quarters fighter so of course when you get close. I have seen many Jak experts win matches. Just because he is not as easy to learn how to use doesn't mean something is wrong with him. When you use Jak properly he is not easy to get close to.It's the same thing people say about Fat Princess about how her moves are ineffective. But once you get a hang of her she can even beat Kratos and Raiden. You just have to overcome their weakness and use their strengths. Fat Princess's reach is not very long but her servants overcome that problem easily. The soldiers diagonal slash is very useful for reaching people from far away. That is how I overcame Radec with her.

[MizTv]

all i play as is raiden so please dont nerf him
