The Iron Giant

[cold mural]

check the velma forum

[rare moat]

Idek, I geniunly can't stay jn the match for like 10 seconds

Get booted out

Also good luck against jake

Jake makes everything so laggy

[quaint granite]

Does anyone have tips on how to fight Stripe as IG?

[cold mural]

watch for skateboard, its their goto move. and dont worry too much about gun, iv never seen it kill

[frigid reef]

get the perk that gives u a shield when u run on the ground for 0.5 seconds. it covers IG's entire body despite the shield being visually small

[cold mural]

isnt .5 a long time

feels long when i think about it

[frigid reef]

personal preference I guess I would rather not run out of dodge meter

[rare moat]

Car smash->rocket boots->leg spin->super punch is so good

Idr being able to do this in beta lmao

[surreal sun]

I just played against an Iron Giant with an infinite combo using 2 attacks, is this normal?

I spammed dodge but couldn't get out of this combo

[frigid reef]

it's able to be DI'd but u have to hold up and sometimes that isn't always the best

[rare moat]

What's the infi combo

[warm canyon]

they dont give armor anymore

[warm canyon]

jab into nair loops

[rare moat]

Ah

[warm canyon]

shoulder bash is a really strong neutral tool. only really gets beat by armor/projectiles. either cleanly hits or trades with most everything else

[rich vigil]

By car smash you mean the grounded side attack right?

[rich vigil]

Interesting

[rare moat]

Yep

[warm canyon]

yes. devs are aware of it. itll probably be the first thing patched

[rare moat]

Have gotten alot of quick kills from 80 with it

I feel like it's to not angle the boots right ontop of ur opponent

Give them a bit of space

[warm canyon]

gun definitely can kill. any move that hits you to the top of the screen that doesnt kill it just combos and finishes off the job

[rare moat]

Game really kicked me out

😭

I can't tell If there'd a hidden mmr system, when u lose alot u get placed with bots I feel like

[warm canyon]

yes i get so much value from it. it lets you recover it lets you catch dodges and you can dodge out of it to bait and punish the opponent. probably his best move along with nair and the shine

i do overextend with it alot and burn my gas out which is immediate death so i gotta get better about that

[warm canyon]

theres definitely a hidden mmr. i only fight people with hundreds of wins on their character in ones now

[rare moat]

Yea lol I disconnected like 9 times in a row rn and I can tell my ops are slowly turning into botsor sum

[warm canyon]

just a way to tell if the opponent is a bot, after you decline the rematch it wont show an option to toast for bots

[rare moat]

Also good to know actually, I huge flaw from carrys gamrplay Is that he burns his dodges SO fast

*1

[shy shore]

It’s hard not to

You either dodge or get farmed

Old IG was all about dodging because you could cancel moves and whatnot

[warm canyon]

unfortuanate but its necessary. the only way to really recover against some characters is to bait them with down special and dodge when they try and hit you

[shy shore]

Now you have to play like a statue

[warm canyon]

im schmooving with IG. most people online even the ones with hundreds of wins will just attack into me letting me dodge and jab to start a combo

and you can bash and dodge cancel to get some pretty crazy movement

[rare moat]

Yea that's what makes mus like harley and joker scary

[shy shore]

Ehh

I feel like even with the loop and dodge canceling IG still just loses in every aspect

[warm canyon]

yeah anyone with a good vertical game is a nightmare if they know what theyre doing. bat is another brutal matchup

[shy shore]

His mech is his best attribute now

It is most likely getting nerfed soon

[rare moat]

In 1s it's meh

[shy shore]

Yeah

[rare moat]

Probaly dying b4 activated

[shy shore]

That’s why he sucks in 1s

[warm canyon]

hes got some winning matchups. but basically loses hard to all neutral characters which is basically every top tier in the game

[rare moat]

In 2s He cracked

[shy shore]

Exactly

The meta rn is bad for IG

In twos it’s better but a decent joker just kinda floats you

You gotta have a teammate who can help you get out of stunlock 2s combos

[warm canyon]

but dont let that discourage you. these harleys/WW/BG are all braindead and just flowchart their offence. you can easily outplay them

[shy shore]

How

I want the secret

[rare moat]

Would not say allay

Allat

[warm canyon]

better spacing

[rare moat]

Ig is loving this slower pace gameplay

[shy shore]

What top tier character doesn’t beat IG in 1s?

[warm canyon]

they dont think when they go in. just proper dodge there advance and you get a free combo with jabs. once you land a single jab its very,very bad for the opponent

cant tell you how many jokers/harleys/WWs ive made just jump off the edge for their last stock lmao

[shy shore]

It’s hard when they armor and walk at you

[warm canyon]

first you break their body, then you break their spirit

[shy shore]

And don’t even get me started with Steven universe

[rare moat]

Honestly except harley nd joker I think u have a good chance against everyone else

[warm canyon]

steven is a tough matchup from my experince but it is definitely winnable against the ones online

[shy shore]

Wonder Woman slams IG

Better neutral

Armor

Tom and Jerry

I don’t think I need to say anything about them

Who else

Steven

Self explanatory

[warm canyon]

every single one does. but thats only if they play to the best of the characters ability which no one online does

[shy shore]

Yeah true

[rare moat]

^^

[warm canyon]

you just have to put in the work and outplay them

[shy shore]

Online for sure

When ranked comes out I’m gonna definitely experiment

[rare moat]

I mean again carrys ig was impressive

[shy shore]

Because of a loop

And it’s getting removed VERY soon

Sadly

[rare moat]

Mmhmm

[warm canyon]

WW is proabably my worst matchup. especially when they figure out they can just side B my shoulder bash on reaction

[rich vigil]

You can do it with the cannonball too

[rare moat]

If they remove that I'm ngl I might drop

[shy shore]

They will man

[rare moat]

That's like his best kill option from low

[warm canyon]

yes this is the only way to really recover against certain characters. make them guess if youre gonna commit to it or dodge and punish them

[shy shore]

As an IG that been playing since beta, everything good about the character will slowly disappear

Until he is just a useless hunk of metal

While Harley’s and Jokers thrive

[warm canyon]

dont get used to it, its definitely gonna get removed. but he doesnt really need it tbh

the infinite was banned at the coinbox tournament and carry made top 8

[shy shore]

Not really banned

You could still use it for like 45 damage then continue

[warm canyon]

he would loop it twice, go into up air and cover their dodge attempt with up special. it was very strong

[shy shore]

Yeah

[rare moat]

Oh when referring to loop I was referring to what carry was doing

Cause that's his best part of his kit so far imho

U can get really creative with it

[shy shore]

Without it carry would have probably made top 64

Im not doubting him im just being real

It’s all we got

[warm canyon]

another thing carry was utilizing was jab into neutral smash as a kill confirm

[shy shore]

Yeah

[rare moat]

Yea I do that alot asw

[warm canyon]

it seems to be pretty strong

[rare moat]

That's a great one to

Easy to do asw

[shy shore]

It is

Neutral special is pretty good

Better than old bolts though?

[rare moat]

Cause car smash alrdy locks them in place

[shy shore]

Ehhh

[warm canyon]

probably kills earlier than going into nair up air

[rare moat]

I usually kill at 100 doing it

100+

[warm canyon]

definitely. although i still dont think its enough to make up for his giant hurtbox

[shy shore]

Yeah

If you hit a grab you can 0 to death have the roster with neutral special

[rare moat]

These bolts are so good like countering air juggling has never felt so good

[shy shore]

Grab into upair into bolts

[warm canyon]

he needs some kind of armor attack. his grab doesnt get armor until the very end of the move so its pretty much useless

[shy shore]

^^^^

[rare moat]

Bugs for example loves using that pesky bat, but one boop and he has a high chance of dying which is great

[warm canyon]

and if you whiff the grab its death bc of the recovery

[shy shore]

Yeah

[warm canyon]

so super high risk and low reward. jab is just much better

[shy shore]

It’s crazy that IG didn’t have armor to begin with like wow

[rare moat]

I have seen no one use his dash, it's too slow from my experience

You get punished so bad using it, not even funny

[shy shore]

You would think IG would have the most armor over Superman and WW

[warm canyon]

what do you mean by his dash?

[shy shore]

The dash attack

[rare moat]

The one where he lays on his opponents

[warm canyon]

oh dash attack? its beyond useless

[shy shore]

Is it the slowest attack in the game?

I think it might be lmao

[rare moat]

Has to be

[warm canyon]

youll actually get punished on hit by some characters if they are at a low percent

[shy shore]

Yeah

[warm canyon]

wish i could just disable it completely

[shy shore]

They need to make it faster and hit earlier

Or one of the two

[rare moat]

Lmao at carry when he did it multiple times cause the devs thought it would be smart to put it in the same input as his car smash attack

[shy shore]

The hitbox doesn’t start until he is like almost down

[shy shore]

Yeah

Messes me up sometimes

[warm canyon]

if i ever land a grab on them at high percent then you can do it straight out of the grab for a stylish kill

[rare moat]

Not even, I seen it like miss sometimes

Not sure what that's about

[shy shore]

You gotta do it warly

[warm canyon]

yeah afaik its a true combo

[shy shore]

If you do it too late the grab timer runs out and they just jump

Gotta be quick

[rare moat]

Ah

[warm canyon]

but judging from carry its optimal to just jump and go into up air

[shy shore]

Yeah

[rare moat]

Oh yea for sure

[shy shore]

Don’t worry guys

Tony is gonna treat us right

[rare moat]

If u are lucky u can chain the side rocket boots to insta kill

[shy shore]

Killing someone has become “luck” for IG now

So sad

Remember when the jab combo could kill at like 110?

[rare moat]

Yep :*(

[shy shore]

Now it’s a little kiss on the forehead

[rare moat]

I remeber when Grab was reliable

[shy shore]

Yep

[rare moat]

Idek when u are even meant to grab like

Car smash into Grab doesn't even work

When else is it gonna happen

💀

[shy shore]

Lmao

We could complain all day about IG

We just gotta wait and see what they do

I hereby bless IG with a great buff that makes him reliable once again ✨ 🪄

Let’s see if the blessing comes true

[warm canyon]

i think they want you to try and use it as a read against moves but its so hard to time because of the armor coming out late. pretty useless and imagine thats something that will get changed for him

it would be so much better if it had armor on startup

[rare moat]

Oh ye 110$

110%

Going for the Grab just for them to dodge and instantly get punished hurts my soul

I would like it if we could utilize it like how we do with the cannonball

That would be very nice

Where it's used less for kills but more for like helping Ig in general

[rare moat]

https://streamable.com/077ijm also look at this

Gas or ass

Was labbing to learn how to do the car smash+leg spin loop

Got this instead

Nvm seems bot is avoiding car spin now, but still cool ig

[rare moat]

Same thing but 0->death, not true tho cause shaggy dodged into my car spin, but 🤔 https://streamable.com/zvbzm9 (sorry for spam btw)

[tall dome]

bro

he legit has an infinite combo

with 2 moves

[rare moat]

Yep

[tall dome]

thats wild no?

[rare moat]

Gonna get fixed

[tall dome]

it aint even hard to do

[rare moat]

U gotta time it right from my experience

But yea

Nit too hard to do

[tall dome]

yeah yeah you gotta get the rythm

but after that its sooo chill

[warped nebula]

brudda we are strugglin

[warm canyon]

on some characters it is much harder. the tiny ones like taz i cant do consistantly

[quaint granite]

So if it’s someone with a big hitbox like Garnet, Jason or another Iron Giant then you’re chilling but if it’s someone small like Gizmo or Morty then it’s harder to do?

[warm canyon]

correct. the bigger the character the easier it is

[rare moat]

@warm canyon ur side charge idea was super smart

It's actually so helpful not having to burn dodges just to engag

Plus in the air it's easier to dodge the assasins

Which allows me to usually car smash them and go crazy there

[tall dome]

taz's is easy

but the spit

doesnt allow more than 2 juggles

however sometimes it bugs and allows more tis soooo weirdf

[rare moat]

Why the hell am I struggling with these damn Brons of all people

[quaint granite]

Actually does character weight (if it even exists I genuinely don’t know) affect the juggle? Can lightweights DI out of it eventually?

[hollow sage]

Weight definitely exists

[warm canyon]

you cant DI out of it

[rare moat]

Dude I'm so pissed, I be so close to Side edging some people with car

Then I run put of fuel

They escape

And I die

Lmaooo

[cold mural]

i dont even really use car all that much, id rather catch them with a up ground or an upair

[cursive lion]

This might be the best character in the game

[cold mural]

i play a bit of lebron, id say its just you are a much easier target to hit with the ball, so many other charecters duck right under it.

[warped nebula]

really?

[shy shore]

Pass the drugs

[quaint granite]

I feel like they have a lot of potential but defo not the absolute best.

[cold mural]

maybe high B tier

[cursive lion]

He has an infinite

[crude cliff]

i swear bro IG's dodging is broken

half the time itll give me the "Dodged" icon but the same move will still hit

or the dodge wont go through at all

[warm canyon]

gotta win the neutral to start the infinite

[warped nebula]

he has an infinet?

[frigid reef]

dont ya'll know other characters can also infinite against Iron Giant? i dont see the issue 🐴

[cursive lion]

Those aren’t infinites

[frigid reef]

Bug's Bunny infinite that he had in the beta? can only be done vs Iron Giant now. im sure if it was labbed, everyone would have one vs him

[rich vigil]

Bugs Bunny can also do this https://imgur.com/a/09ctybE

[rich vigil]

Guys

I figured out something niche

On the Dexter's Lab stage, the one with the 3 platforms on each side, if you're standing on the very top platform you can do grab and then jump and immediately activate bolts and it kills at zero

[warm canyon]

juicy. nice find

[golden patrol]

I'm taking away your guy's licenses because that car is a menace.

[idle granite]

what are the best perks for him? i haven't played him in a HOT minute

[shy shore]

2s? Mech Perk.
1s? Firewall perk.

[idle granite]

gotcha

[idle granite]

wait which of these are exactly?

[naive depot]

How does IG compare on the tier list right now?

I played him in beta and i remember that he wasn't the best character

[timid zodiac]

with the infinite at least top 3

[naive depot]

I'm sorry, infinite?

TOP 3??

[timid zodiac]

Yes, jab into nair loops into itself

then when they're in kill range you do nair into up air

or fair depending on where you are on the stage

basically if you get a parry, you get a stock atm

[naive depot]

Is it just jab jab nair or is it the full string into nair

[timid zodiac]

after the 3rd car smash you jump cancel into nair while drifting downwards

[idle granite]

does anyone else's game crash when playing as iron giant sometimes 😭

[inner vector]

iron giant is the best 1v1 character in the game rn until he gets nerfed that’s why all the tournaments have his infinite banned

a consistent giant lands one side attack and you die from the infinite

[frigid isle]

are people trolling?

Apache And Mirrorman thing iron giant is top 1 rn

[frigid isle]

damn

wait can you dodge it?

[hushed thicket]

this infinite needs to get patched asap this character straight up doesnt work properly

[hushed thicket]

no its a true combo once you get hit by his nair or side attack

super easy to do too. its braindead

[frigid isle]

Lmfao

the one where he sits down?

and then i assume the spinny move he has

[uneven compass]

how do you do the infinite? i cant quite get it down

[naive depot]

What perks do i take?

[uneven compass]

afterburners, snowball effect, speed force assist, pugilist

the infinite can lead into a guaranteed, from 0, kill confirm

what the

just take them to the edge with air neutral normal and then use air side normal

[uneven compass]

@naive depot hope this helps btw

[naive depot]

Thanks, thanks

I was just in the lab, been a while since i played IG

[rare moat]

Ngl the 5% melee damage perks are crap

Someone just exposed them

I would only use them if there is truly nothing else u can be using

[rare moat]

That's because it's harder on smaller players but basically u want to car smash->jump->leg spin and continue that loop

[stone niche]

Is the iron giant side light into the spin kick isn't true right?

Cuz I just got hit by it and I was spamming dodge and couldn't get out of it

[dry gust]

Hey dudes just used iron giant and when I use his help friend special with square + down it glitched, I couldn't use it, im guessing this is a bug

[rich vigil]

It's true

[sand aspen]

Can a IG main tell me anything about IG specific glitches?

[stone niche]

That's is absolutely not okay

[rich vigil]

You are 100% right

It's definitely getting patched out soon

[rich vigil]

Does the infinite count? Maybe it's not technically a glitch but it sure as hell wasn't intended

[sand aspen]

shananigans go in a list as well

[frigid reef]

i still find it stupid that pfg did everything in their power to not make Iron Giant a useful grappler

[rare moat]

Nerfed that to the ground

It's so bad now

U can't even grab after car smash lmaoo

[frigid reef]

the range on it is awful. someone could be standing a centimeter away from me and it won't grab them like it used to + the priority is has is low

[rare moat]

And the armor comes in last

So u get punished hard attempting

[frigid reef]

hopefully he gets buff for once. it's been nothing except nerfs

[rare moat]

Give bro some damn armor

I serisouly hope they don't kill the car smash into leg spin loop

In order to patch the bug

It's such a good kill confirm when paired with the punch

[heavy mural]

theres no way a single dev played iron giant before the rerelease

you just get stun locked the whole match, and every move gets cancelled by the smallest tap

[mellow coyote]

https://x.com/emp_br/status/1797307367232512415 another infinite...

Not found by me btw

[rich vigil]

Wtf

[rich vigil]

I hope they can keep it as a kill confirm but nerf out the infinite loop

If that's possible that is

[rare moat]

LMAOO

[rare moat]

Seems unlikely, I think they gonna nerf the range of car smash

They gonna nerf one of the moves ranges or something

Gonna suck

[timid zodiac]

just remove the jump cancel imo

[rare moat]

Removing jump cancel sounds like it will break the loop entirely does it not

[timid zodiac]

it will

[rare moat]

That sucksss

That's one of his best kill confirms

[timid zodiac]

he doesn't need it

[rare moat]

Well

He wants it

Car smash->leg spin->super punch kills these small characters at 80

That's super good

Idt any of combo of is doing allat

Needa give us something to compensate fs

[rich vigil]

Yeah like make grab better

Make it beat Superman's grab and Shaggy side kick

[frigid reef]

💯

[rare moat]

What other combo does ig even have after that

Ig if Grab is improved we can go back to throwing into car spin

That would be fun to do again

👀

(Still works, but the move is so bad u rarely get to grab to begin with)

[frigid reef]

nah because the hitstun on up-special is lower than it used to be. if grab is improved, maybe we can use side-special > down-special > neutral-air > up-air. i actually never tried this combo after beta to see if it still works

[uneven compass]

new iron giant infinite dropped, nope

you can grab and then taunt cancel into another grab

INFINITELY

AT ALL PERCENTS

take em to 200, fully charged up normal, free stock

its true too

[frigid reef]

i know i'm the one that figured it out. that's not a reason to not make his grab better, just dont allow taunts from grab

[uneven compass]

does anything combo into grab?

[rich vigil]

No

[distant talon]

Yes, you have f tilt -> nair -> dair -> grab (or start from nair) or f tilt -> d tilt -> grab

But the first one is better

Theres more starters but those are the bnbs

[rich vigil]

Oh dang we do have combos into grab?

I thought it was too slow

[distant talon]

Yes, me and a someome else in the ig discord labbed them out as consistent setups for the scrapyards

[distant talon]

Just combo into it

[rich vigil]

Thoughts on this combo? The up special at the end isn't true obviously but the rest is https://imgur.com/a/fvocJNI

[distant talon]

You can kill at zero from grab without the infinites in 2 different ways lol

[distant talon]

Cool but f tilt d tilt can be DId

[frigid reef]

if grab ever gets improved, u can down-special (airborne) into spot-dodge with the Airwalker perk and grab. right now the grab is too slow to do it successfully below kill %

[rich vigil]

Ah.

I wish you could make the training mode bots di

[distant talon]

Yeah

Instead you can do grab after the d tilt and go for a scrapyard

[uneven compass]

im gonna try combo into grab in real games

and then do the infinite

[distant talon]

Why go for the infinite if you can just do scrapyard and kill?

Doesnt take as much time

[uneven compass]

its funnier

[distant talon]

Nah I feel like thats low, its just exploiting a bug

[rare moat]

That's gonna be another infinite that will be patched

The car smash+plant

[uneven compass]

3-0 a rick in the first game

dawg what is this balance

[distant talon]

Its not true

[uneven compass]

sometimes it is

[distant talon]

No, you can DI out of that one

[uneven compass]

its a true confirm into grab if you have dodge like 99% of the time

[distant talon]

You cant DI out of nair loops tho

[young latch]

This iron is very giant

[distant talon]

Yeah but you cant loop it

[uneven compass]

gon show harley my iron giant

[young latch]

And its literally lebron on stroids

[uneven compass]

(side note, harley mains suck)

[young latch]

Yeah

They may aswell use bugs

Bugs is good btw

[rare moat]

Ah

[distant talon]

But instead of looping it you can do scrapyard after the first d tilt, way more efficient

[young latch]

I just like leg spin into car eat

[rare moat]

Yes but grab is easy to dodge

Even with combo

[distant talon]

Not if you true combo into it

Theres some good setups

[young latch]

Nah i agree

Grab is a bit hard to pull of without an attack before

[distant talon]

Yeah going for it raw is kinda bad

[frigid jetty]

Does eating lower cooldown of neutral special still?

[distant talon]

Doesnt seem like it but I could be wrong

[frigid jetty]

How does neutral b work again it’s a combo breaker and every bolt adds a hit of thorns to the attacker correct?

If they hit you*

[distant talon]

It adds more grey health per bolt, and the knockback is insane

Plus every hit while having grey health is thorns damage

[frigid jetty]

Knock back? When you activate it or when the attacker gets hit by thorns?

[distant talon]

When you activate it

Yeah you could call it a combo breaker but its more then that

[frigid jetty]

Ah ok!

[distant talon]

Its the only reason scrapyard works

[frigid jetty]

School me then I haven’t played giant in a while. I made it to around #200 on leaderboards on beta then when gizmo dropped I fell off the game

[frigid jetty]

Scrapyard, the jab combo?

[distant talon]

Oh lol I quit around then too

[distant talon]

No, the TOD

[frigid jetty]

Oh I heard about it but don’t know it

[distant talon]

Theres guides in the discord server

On how to do it

[rich vigil]

Where

[distant talon]

In the combo channel

[crystal pendant]

Y’all seen the new grab infinite

https://x.com/emp_br/status/1797307367232512415?s=46&t=vCmwFUUsXWFNcR1uf6R2Qg

[rare moat]

Yes

[crystal pendant]

Iron giant kinda the goat in this patch

[distant talon]

Until they take his loops

Hopefully they wont take away the scrapyard

[crystal pendant]

Hopefully they just patch the infinites and let him keep his combo game

[rich vigil]

What is the scrapyard

Like you said it was a tod but what is the combo

[rare moat]

^^

[distant talon]

Like I said its explained in the discord with videos

[rare moat]

Where is that bro

What is "the discord with videos"

[distant talon]

The iron giant discord server

Ill dm you the link

[rare moat]

Oooo sweet

[rich vigil]

Oh well you didn't mention there was an ig discord server

Can you dm me the link as well

[distant talon]

Oh sorry my bad

[distant talon]

Of course

[cold mural]

same here

[deep idol]

@distant talon send me link it ig server

[stone niche]

Why in the world would you wish that

[quaint granite]

Do we have a name for the forward attack + neutral aerial infinite yet?

If not then what should we name it???

[frigid jetty]

Me 2

[rare moat]

I dont

[stone niche]

Okay, why in the world would you hope that

[rare moat]

I don't but I can see it happen

As a possible way to remove the infinite

[paper niche]

I did not know he had an infinite, I was too busy getting comboed by everyone

[frigid isle]

😭

[uneven shore]

he has two

he has one that is like a car car car grab throw junk car car car i think but I use the grab taunt cancel taunt repeat

[stuck oar]

The taunt combo is crazy ngl. It’s more of a torture because you’re taunting but also very slowly damaging them 💀

[quaint granite]

doesn’t he also just have car smash + leg spin as a super simple loop?

[uneven shore]

also after i get them high enough to grab up them I salt to really put salt into the wound

[uneven shore]

that's the one I meant

[quaint granite]

Either way does this make troll tactics viable?

It makes it deal extra emotional damage because while the opponent is already depressed enough watching their character get combod to death knowing fully well there is nothing they can do, they also have to deal with the incessant loud noise coming from Troll Tactics-“boosted” taunts.

[full tide]

I love that Iron Giant plays like a Killer Instinct character haha

[willow patio]

I feel like a villain

How is this character heroic

[terse oar]

could I get that link too?

[distant talon]

👍

[storm frost]

Tony please kill Iron Giant 🙏
Rip him in half PLEASE 🙏

[frigid reef]

no he's an iron giant main too 🐴

[young relic]

Yo can I get in there too?

[stuck oar]

Nah that’s evil 💀

It’s payback for how much giant suffered in the beta isn’t it lol

[stuck oar]

Id like to join as well

[quaint granite]

How is it performed?

I want to make people genuinely suffer

[stuck oar]

Ground side special into taunt. It infinitely loops

[distant talon]

Invite sent in dms!

[willow patio]

Yeah they will def remove the infinite loop but it's fun for now lol

[naive depot]

Oh my god that's so funny.

GRAB sit :3 GRAB sit :3 GRAB

[cursive lion]

Who thought it was okay to give a character 2 infinites 😭

[stuck oar]

they'll remove his infinites and then nerf some outta pocket thing for no reason

[warm canyon]

shine is definitely getting nerfed/reworked

[stuck oar]

is that the new neutral special?

[warm canyon]

yes

its just too cheesy to stay in the game as is

[errant condor]

Lol i been doing the taunt infinite

[errant condor]

Sometimes i taunt and they are still being held after and dodge out

[stuck oar]

Idk how to use it yet tbh. I'm still used to bolts

[warm canyon]

time it right and you can just kill people off the top for free when they hit you close to the blast zone

can also use it to combo

[stuck oar]

also is there a way to make it so I don't eat scrap when I attack? it's ruining my combos

[rich vigil]

Nope

Just have to be careful at when you use down tilt

[lilac pawn]

You still denying IG is broken and not top tier

[rich vigil]

??? All I said is that there isn't a way to not eat scraps during certain moves

Stop being salty and learn the MU bruh

[lilac pawn]

I can literally quote you saying skill issue crying about IG being terrible. You never said anything about being able to eat scraps to me before😂 . I'm on record in chat history telling you all how good he was before any of you found out how to do his infinites. Saying he was only combo food and the worst in the game

#general message

[midnight vapor]

his core perks seem kinda bad imo, am I wrong?

[honest plinth]

did they really just take this dude out of the game LMAO

[storm frost]

Thank god he's gone 🙏

Stupid ass character 🙏

[sinful dust]

Lmao they removed Iron Giant

[tiny locust]

Lgiant

[sinful dust]

Hopefully they bring him back after he gets fixed

[lilac pawn]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[stuck pond]

Did IG get disabled? He’s not in the roster

[lilac pawn]

Everyone and their grandma was exploiting the crap out of this character so happy he is gone. 80% of my games today had an IG in it

[copper pasture]

IRON FRAUD

[tiny locust]

iron giants when they realize the character was in a horrible state 😲

[dull pike]

Same here

[paper niche]

What did they do to my baby boy

[shy shore]

they KILLED HIM!!!

it’s OVER!!!

[paper niche]

I guess I will have to play the worse version of Superman

[golden patrol]

I can't belive they vaulted him. x3

I figured they would just leave him to be broken until applying a patch.

[cold mural]

i cant belive they killed him

like

wha

is this even the right call? I never even saw another ig in randoms

i know people thought he was broken, and i agreed

but, not like this

NOT LIKE THIS

[cold mural]

okay, what if they brought back attack decay

[sinful dust]

I did and he was just fishing for the infinite…

[tiny locust]

hes gonna be back

just let them fix the character 💀

[cold mural]

I hope, i miss my BOY

[sinful dust]

People spent money on cosmetics

They’d never just keep him gone forever

The game would get so much hate for that

[crystal pendant]

https://tenor.com/view/noooooo-depression-meme-spiderman-gif-19814282

Damn I have never seen tenor epic imbed fail before

[paper niche]

Nope, they're sending a time traveller back to go and make sure the Iron Giant movie is never created so he wouldn't have been in the game

[tiny locust]

the movies goated

[kindred basin]

F

[hollow totem]

then the game would be infinitely better lmfao

I hate the lack of attack decay

hope they add it back

[sinful dust]

Technically attack decay exists, but it works more like Smash stale moves

[dry island]

Bruh I’ve been waiting to get home from work all day to play as my boy the Iron Giant just to log on and see they temporarily removed him.

[tiny locust]

It’s unfortunate but the games gonna be in a way better place after the fix him and a handful of other problems

[sand dragon]

Sup my fellaws

🗣️

iron giant forever and ever

[solid agate]

They got rid of iron giant rip😭

[dry island]

Oh ya probably. I just hope they don’t nerf him to high he’ll like they did back in the beta. The main I thing they need to nerf tho is the amount of missiles he can shoot in rage mode. You could so easily cheese so hard by rocket spamming

[solid agate]

Free bro

[sand dragon]

Iron dude make a sacrifice in the film, and do this to him

truly not respect

[solid agate]

https://tenor.com/view/the-iron-giant-animated-cartoon-save-the-world-feels-gif-3522783

Embed fail😭

[sand dragon]

i cried to much in this cene

and even had a crisis

[tiny locust]

He’s the sacrifice the game needs for them to fix it stay strong

[dry island]

Agreed lol

[sand dragon]

Yeah

[pure tiger]

He ded 💀

[cold mural]

that not even remotly it

has like a bunch of infinites and zero to deaths

i mean, they all involve air moves

[tiny locust]

What if they replace him with the kid instead

[sinful dust]

He can also escape hitstun and kill characters at zero if they’re too close to the blast zone

[tiny locust]

Let’s not forget he can counter you if you parry him

[sinful dust]

He unironically could be the most broken character in platform fighter history

Excluding non-playable characters

[tiny locust]

Will say though multiversus brings the funniest things like being about to say “IRON GIANT IS OP” like this is so funny

“I can’t believe iron giant just put me in another infinite BROOOO”

[dry island]

It’d be even funnier if it was Lebron

[tiny locust]

Lebron feels so cool but any real player can escape him

[storm frost]

Tony answered my prayers

[golden patrol]

It is pretty funny, for sure.

"I got zero to deathed by Steven Universe!"

[storm frost]

I think Steven might be the one S tier with no loops and no 0tds tbh

[sinful dust]

Short hop double dair is a loop

Idk how long it works for tho

[rare moat]

They hadda take away IG

😭

Fair enough ig

[jaunty mauve]

They are gonna get rid of his nair combos and suddenly iron giant is the worst character in the game again. They might also nerf base knock back on that “get out of combos” screw move because I know that can kill early

[round jolt]

#JUSTICEFORIRONGIANT

[jaunty mauve]

I literally quit back in the beta after they nerfed him soooo many times. I bet he kept getting nerfed long after I left lol. I was very pleasantly surprised to see he is amazing now but I guess that’s over. If he is F-tier I’m probably uninstalling again. This game is not worth it for me

[willow patio]

LOLLL

Not even a tweet???

Patch note??

That's hilarious

[rare moat]

Wym

[shy shore]

He will come back a new man

Cross your fingers boys and girls

[jaunty mauve]

It’s an EMERGENCY patch. They are gonna fix the infinite as fast as possible. If that involves screwing up his nair then iron giant could end up bottom tier

They could mess up more than just his nair too idk what they will do

[willow patio]

Either create longer stun after his moves so he can't chain

[golden patrol]

If he needs to stunlock to an absurd degree to be viable then he just isn't viable.

[cold mural]

i wasnt realyl using the infinites, so i was barly using is nair anyways, i used fair and up tilt as my bread and butter

so im not sure if nair does get nerfd will throw him into bottom tier

[golden patrol]

In all fairness he was okay to play around if the person using him didn't know the infinites, but nearly everyone who used him was just either doing that or spamming the car hitting move.

It didn't feel like anybody was actually trying to play when using him, it was exhausting.

[cold mural]

its such a wild expierance, but i never fought another IG

like once

in beta, yeah, but not since launch

[golden patrol]

I never ragequitted a match for it because it felt like poor sportsmanship but it was so tempting to do.

I don't see a lot of them but I have run into about five or six of them.

[jaunty mauve]

I played 1 and he was clearly new

[cold mural]

is there some anti mirror match thing to the algorythm?

[golden patrol]

There's a small handful of characters I just don't see, because it feels like new players are using their currency to go right for meta picks.

I don't see a lot of Velma, or Jake, or Marvin.

[cold mural]

velma is trash as i hear it now

[golden patrol]

Unfortunate, but it presents a unique opportunity.

People are so used to meta picks that they don't know how to counter her, so you can score some Confusion Wins.

[tough breach]

Is Iron Giant disabled?

[golden patrol]

That Halloween costume is too cute not to use her.

Yes. He was disabled so they could patch some issues with him being broken (he has three infinites).

If what I heard is right they swapped him out with Garnet in the free rotation.

Wait did they put Iron Giant items in the shop rotation today? x3

[stone niche]

FINALLY

[tiny locust]

"god i hate going against gizmo!"

[stone niche]

YES

[golden patrol]

Getting kicked to death by minor Scooby Doo character Uncle Shagworthy was not on the list of things I thought would happen, for sure.

[bright current]

if Iron Giant ends up in bottom teir im still playing him. I didn't get to level 27 as iron giant in the beta, get top #37 in ranked, and get my giant back up to level 10 for nothing.

[frigid reef]

https://tenor.com/view/i-farted-soiled-it-spongebob-gif-12981844

he's donezo

[dusky yew]

i literally bought this dude a couple hours ago and it was removed man. i just emailed support for my points back but i doubt ill get them

[golden patrol]

They're adding him back in after fixing some issues, so I doubt they'll refund the points because you'll be getting him back.

[dusky yew]

i mentioned that in the email, id rather have the points back so i can spend time upgrading a character

[opal ember]

did he get took out the game😭

[vapid elm]

so who are you all playing in the meantime

[jagged egret]

Am i tweaking or what did bro get removed?😭🙏

[frigid reef]

zoners. mostly marvin

[gray bobcat]

He got temporarily removed due to an infinite combo he will return.

[uneven shore]

how temperary is this removal because I LITERALLY BOUGHT HIM LAST NIGHT

[cold mural]

lebron

[uneven shore]

Gizmo or Morty prob

[hollow sage]

So y’all enjoying your Iron Giant games

[uneven shore]

I was

[frigid reef]

doesn't an update come out today? 🤔

[full tide]

Welp

[quaint granite]

Stripe.

[distant talon]

At least a week, but probably more

[uneven shore]

It better not be a week

[distant talon]

Its probably not, in a week will only get an update on his status, but thats probably it

So Im expecting its even longer then a week

Wich is just great

[sinful dust]

My guess is he’ll be back with the next update

[full tide]

"IG doesn't need to be "nerfed" just fixed, his infinites & the bug on his up special in rage mode is not intentional lol. IG is pretty balanced IMO, very hard character to play properly, easy to exploit. Clear strengths & weaknesses."

[shy shore]

Wait why was iron giant removed?

[sinful dust]

He would be more balanced if like you said he didn’t have multiple infinites, and he didn’t kill at literally zero with his burst mechanic

[shy shore]

I just now noticed

Anyone know why?

[full tide]

They killswitched him

[shy shore]

But why tho.

[full tide]

3 infinites

[sinful dust]

Because he was definitively top 1, played extraordinarily degenerately fishing for infinite combos, can reversal kill at any percent, and he’s fat so he never dies

[full tide]

So they decided to killswitch without warning

[sand dragon]

is iron giant back?

[sinful dust]

I do think they should’ve said something

[shy shore]

Oh no lol. Will he be back?

[sinful dust]

He will eventually

My guess is with the next patch

[sand dragon]

Yeah

[sinful dust]

They just need to fix his infinites and drastically reduce the knockback on his burst and then he’s fine

[full tide]

They should give people at least 12 hours notice

That way tournaments can adjust

[storm frost]

Until hes fixed

[uneven shore]

i literally bought him the day he got removed

[distant talon]

Damn

[storm frost]

Skill issue, should've got Joker

[uneven shore]

hell nah he 6000

[distant talon]

I cant even lab him out in training mode anymore 😭

[uneven shore]

also i play gizmo which is a mage im content with

[distant talon]

Yeah its terrible value to unlock joker

[storm frost]

Actually a top tier main, a slave to the meta

[uneven shore]

i just like playing casual gizmo

[distant talon]

This games meta is non existant

[storm frost]

Quite the opposite, unfortunately

[uneven shore]

wait we're both the worst players of our main

[distant talon]

Its been a week

[storm frost]

And there are already obvious characters way more powerful than the rest

IG only got removed BECAUSE he was so strong lmao

He's been banned from tournaments since day 1

[distant talon]

Sure but that doesnt matter as its a team game

[distant talon]

No because he is non functional

[storm frost]

I was the worst Shaggy in the beta long before any other "worst" player showed up

I created you

[storm frost]

1s > 2s

[uneven shore]

in your opinion

[storm frost]

No because he has multiple infinite loops and 0tds

[uneven shore]

2s > 1s

imo

[distant talon]

No, while yes 1s is way better to watch, its a doubles game

[storm frost]

Thats literally what I said dawg 😭

[distant talon]

Yes and that means he is not functional, once those get removed he will still be strong but not literally broken

But its not like hes the only character with infinites

[uneven shore]

see you admit it 2s > 1s

[storm frost]

The current meta is WW, Harley, Shaggy, Steven

[distant talon]

1s is a mode for the casuals

[storm frost]

I've never seen a casual playing 1s

[distant talon]

The current meta is to pick a character and win

[storm frost]

It's always high level players or people with no friends on 1s

[uneven shore]

@storm frost is correct but it should just be play who you want

but apparently IG was to much for casuals

[distant talon]

The game isnt dominated by certain characters, they just have better tools to shut down other characters, but you can still win with any character

[uneven shore]

Which is meta

[storm frost]

You're a casual, I don't listen to casuals about balancing or metas

[distant talon]

No as its not a strategy to pick better characters

[uneven shore]

But in league if one character is meta you dont have to play them to win
But if you play meta you have a better chance of winning.

[distant talon]

My bad bro sorry I forgot that I was a casual

[distant talon]

Yeah but thats a strategy game thats less so about execution

[storm frost]

If you weren't you wouldn't be saying there's no meta, just saying 🤷‍♂️

[distant talon]

You can make a case for "meta" teams in 2s, but not a certain character

[distant talon]

I just find the concept of a meta for a game thats not a strategy game flawed, that is all

[uneven shore]

It's still an example. Not the best one; but it is.
Wonder Woman is objectively stronger then velma and if you are both equally skilled, the WW is winning.

[distant talon]

Now thats wrong, the velma can still win but just has to work harder to get the same results

[storm frost]

Meta characters in 1s on their way to infinitely loop you for 150+ damage and then use their instantaneous kill move that kills everyone at 50% anyways

[uneven shore]

I didn't mean 100% of the time..

[distant talon]

But yes objectively ww is a better character

[uneven shore]

If one character is better then the other that's technically a meta

[storm frost]

And that is, in fact, how a meta works

[uneven shore]

🙏

[distant talon]

Damn I guess Im just stupid then

Yeah fair enough

I dunno what I was thinking 😭

[nova escarp]

Iron giant is lost media 😭

[pale gust]

whys he gone

[full tide]

Too broken for people

[storm frost]

He was broken

[inland trellis]

Fixing infinites.

[storm frost]

If you got hit, he got a stock off you

Thats how it worked

He was banned from tournaments on launch 😭

[jagged egret]

Velma

[willow patio]

And Bugs

[storm frost]

I forgot him ngl

[naive depot]

Rick.

[idle granite]

[vapid elm]

I know that at least 1 event had him banned due to the issues before he got pulled

[rich vigil]

No he hasn't? Mirrorman banned from his tournament cus he's a baby most tournaments just banned the infinite combo

[storm frost]

IG banned from tournaments

[rich vigil]

He literally wasn't lol

[storm frost]

Wrong

[rich vigil]

Maybe he was banned from some tournament, like I know Mirrorman banned him from his tournaments but he was definitely not banned from all tournaments and not on launchday

Like Hungrybox's day 1 tournament did not have him banned and his coinbox

And the coinbox tournament he hosted didn't have him banned

[jaunty mauve]

Sooooo he’s not gonna be back in time for ranked season launch. Wtf am I supposed to do… pick up a new character 😭

[cursive lion]

Iron giant never existed wdym…..

[distant talon]

Prepare for when he comes back

[jaunty mauve]

How do i prepare. Is he still available in training mode? Even if he was I’m sure they are going to do some big nerfs so idk what to lab

[rich vigil]

Unfortunately no

You're either gonna have to pick up a new character for the time being or just not play

[fleet estuary]

Why is everyone so freaked out bc iron fraud left there going to fix him💀

[stuck oar]

Probably either jason or harley

[mint python]

they nuked him because he was the goat 🙏

[jaunty mauve]

They are gonna make him the worst character in the game AGAIN because people like you love to complain

[fleet estuary]

Alr

[rich vigil]

I get that they're trying to fix him but it's lame AF that they didn't even give us a headsup or anything

It's also much easier to act like it's not that big of a deal when it's not your character

[rare moat]

I been labbing that dude Hella long

[unique forge]

like 6 of them lmao

[uneven compass]

with his current kit, iron giant can only exist in 2 states
> completely worthless
> busted needs to be nerfed

i think a rework might come

[tiny locust]

So you’d rather it stay how it is and the game die because they didn’t improve it? Dawg you make no sense no offense

[jaunty mauve]

Jumps to crazy conclusions then says I don’t makes sense. You’re the one not making sense buddy, I never said any of that.

[tiny locust]

Let me read what you said

“They’re gonna make him the worst in the game”

In response to someone talking about him no longer being in the game temporarily

Which comes across as you saying the fact that it’s gone is cause people complained and he had nothing wrong with him

Sheeesh typical ig player

[jaunty mauve]

Yeah, I have good reason to believe iron giant is just gonna keep getting nerfed until he is the worst character in the game again. And it REALLY won’t take much of a rework for that to happen. I don’t see how that’s a controversial opinion. It happened last time and it’s happening again. Is that like a crazy thing to say. If they are nerfing the nair to stop the infinite then that could get rid of like the majority of his combos. If they nerf the car smash to stop the infinite then there goes his 50/50s and kill setups. Why was iron giant getting so many nerfs last game even though he wasn’t a top tier? Because people like you love to complain. And even if iron giant wasn’t good right now you would still be in here complaining just because he’s an annoying character. He’s not even in the game and here you are complaining.

[cursive lion]

I think you should spend some time outside.

[round jolt]

i bought iron giant with real human money 😦

[sinful dust]

He will be back

They removed him because of his infinites and people were starting to get really toxic with them

He’ll probably be back in the next patch I think is coming out next week

[fleet estuary]

Beefing over a character is crazy

[jaunty mauve]

Bro you are literally in here trying to start beef over iron giant. This is an iron giant chat and YOU can here to do the complaining. Y’all have short term memory loss the way you think I’m literally not able to scroll up 2 seconds and see that.

[zealous radish]

dude ur crying over a digital character get a grip ur honestly sad af. steady complaining cus iron giant got removed

keep in mind ur probably pushing ur 30s crying on discord 😭

[jaunty mauve]

I’m sorry for talking about iron giant in an iron giant chat. If I’m 30 then you are like 8. Get off the e computer and go play catch with your dad or something. Y’all literally come in here to complain about the character. I actually have a reason to be in here unlike y’all I play this character

[zealous radish]

mb waifuslayer how about u go back to working ur 9/5 job instead of crying cus ur favorite character got removed hes coming back soon anyways ur actually sorry and btw dont ever bring up my family

sorry as dude got mad i hurt his feelings

[fleet estuary]

Damn

[jaunty mauve]

Yeah I’m crying right now that’s why I haven’t been responding instantly. It was a crazy epic own. I couldn’t get dunked on like that even in the Lebron chats, or maybe I’m just not terminally online like you guys.

And for people who hate arguing you guys really seem to like keeping the argument going. I don’t think this is gonna end until I stop responding.

[zealous radish]

ok

[shy shore]

Lmao

[marsh cloak]

Guys hear me out

https://tenor.com/view/bos5-gif-18348518

Liberty prime

As a iron giant skin

[quick smelt]

can't wait to play as him when he comes back

[rich vigil]

I like this idea

[simple elm]

when does he come back?

[lilac pawn]

I mean IG players were crying how bad he was when he was the most broken character in the game and got REMOVED because even the devs and all the pros obviously could tell. No matter if he is still really good or really bad after this fix I can gurantee IG players will still say he is bad😂

[simple elm]

Personally Idc I wanna play my boyyy

[quaint granite]

Honestly we should have Iron Giant as vice president of the U.S

[simple elm]

fr

[reef tusk]

when is he returning

is he going to get hella nerfed?

[stone niche]

I hope

[willow patio]

They will definitely take away all chances of him being able to preform infinites as a start

So that means at the least his moves will be given shorter hitstun so others can dodge out between or move, or a longer period between moves so he can't chain them together

[manic zephyr]

They should make iron giants dodge move him further to prevent him from getting infinite comboed otherwise he’s gonna be garbage after patch

[safe matrix]

"When you close your eyes"

[uneven shore]

Is he back yett

[safe matrix]

No wont be till like friday or next week

[mellow coyote]

My sweet prince taken from me...

[rich vigil]

They said they'd give an update next week

For all we know he could be gone longer than that

[cold mural]

they just said he will be back, but the are working on it rn

[trim delta]

dont play this character. just here to point at yall's misery

[echo seal]

why not

[trim delta]

You know why

He is NOT IN THE GAME 🤣

[deep idol]

;-;

[echo seal]

no i don't i played him in beta 1v1s and got 300 wins and i only played him now and got like 100 but i win way less

[trim delta]

I dont know what I'm doing with iron giant bc of how unconventional he is

What is his bnb combo

[echo seal]

i use the side flame kick a lot

cuz it burns now i dont think it used to

i never use the fall one or the spinning legs one

or grab

[trim delta]

down special is the one that was broken in the beta i think

[echo seal]

yea lol if you lagged while using it it would hit multiple times

i have a screenshot of it doing like 500 damage

[halcyon glade]

Is iron giant still missing

[rich vigil]

Jab into anything

[trim delta]

Yes and the most recent tweet still doesnt give us a timeline

Expect iron giant to remain DEAD

[grizzled torrent]

Rip IG, killed for crimes brought by the devs by changing the game fundamentally

[stone niche]

Yeah, but it was a good change tbh
Things like this are gonna happen when it changes that much

[crude cliff]

he'll still be my main when he comes back

they will not kill my boy eternally

[jagged egret]

Velma better RAHHH

[trim delta]

Yuh huh i have scheduled 153 emails to tony to send every 2 days to KEEP iron giant down

[jagged egret]

Velma better RAHHH

Velma better RAHHH Velma better RAHH

Velma better RAHHH Velma better RAHHH

[crude cliff]

i could play lebron and only hit down square and still win

Dudes really just go around and spam like theyre 14

[jagged egret]

[trim delta]

Mods ban this user

[jagged egret]

😭🙏

What did I do??

[echo seal]

i think playing rick is the best replacement

you can turn yourself huge

i have been having great success

[rare moat]

How tf does rick and ig even compare

2 completely different playstyles

[manic zephyr]

I think it’s broken how iron giant is able to infinite combo someone but at the same time iron giant is able to get infinite combo’d do to his size

[echo seal]

i juust said it in my message

bruh

[sinful dust]

That is until he just bursts his opponent into the blast zone at literally 0%

[grizzled torrent]

I mean thats pretty surface level tbh

Also even when the fix the infinite issue i feel like they need to move the blast zones further put anyways

Stages just feel tiny in general for the most part

[dense blaze]

He's about to be gutted.

[hasty crest]

its out

[shy shore]

so are we betting on when another ig infinite is discovered?

ill give it 2 and a half days

[simple elm]

Is he back?

[shy shore]

soon

when the game reopens

after patching

[hasty crest]

It said in patch note he’s not out now

[shy shore]

haha

poor ig players

[hasty crest]

Hopefully not

I’m a Morty player

But I think it would also suck

[shy shore]

im a jason player so uh

agree

[hasty crest]

If ig got disabled again

[shy shore]

yep

[hasty crest]

Dude check out the lebron section

They killed lebron in this patch note

[shy shore]

i know hahaha

lebron already lowest winrate in the game

now they gutted his ass

it seems like such a lazy fix

there has got to be something better than just removing the options for his balls to hit multiple times

[dry island]

Just read the Iron Giant part of the patch notes cause he’s the only character I care about and unlike every patch in the beta, I actually think all his changes are fair. I’m not a professional with these type of games so idk if there’s actually something terrible that they did with him but from my casual eyes I can’t really complain.

[faint gust]

Is he back yet?

[timid zodiac]

"The goal of these changes is to prevent Iron Giant from chaining certain sets of attacks infinitely. While these fixes address some of the issues on Iron Giant, it will require additional fixes to bring Iron Giant fully back online. Iron Giant will remain down for repairs until those fixes are implemented in a future patch. "

[faint gust]

Damn

If they haven't finished fixing him yet, why would they include changes in the patch notes? It feels redundant since we can't even play as the character

[frigid reef]

no more aerial neutral-attack into up-air?

[rich vigil]

Probably not 😭

Which sucks cus that was such a good kill confirm

My favorite was dair into nair into upair

[dry island]

It’s so we can know exactly how much progress they’ve made with him so we can better gauge when he’s coming back. I prefer that rather than us just being left in the dark about it cause he’s pretty much the only character I play and I wanna know close he is to coming back

[rich vigil]

The patch notes just say that nair launches "away". Doesn't say horizontally or vertically. Maybe it still sends up so maybe we can combo into upair at certain percents

[frigid reef]

our new kill confirm is gonna be: jab > grounded neutral-attack. at least we still have the stomps in rage mode 😎

[rich vigil]

We might have the stomps

I have a feeling they're gonna take away the stomps

[frigid reef]

if they take away the stomps PFG might be fried in the head

[dense blaze]

And they need another patch to nerf ig

[frigid reef]

heck nah they need to buff Iron Giant, make it possible to dodge from up-special

[paper niche]

They patched the game and Iron Giant got some changes in it to so that means he is back in the actual game, right?

[stone niche]

Nope

[tough kite]

F in the chat for this chat, character still gone

[trim delta]

🤣 🫵

[cursive lion]

Rip to people who mained him

[sinful dust]

He’ll be back

I noticed they didn’t mention the grab taunt infinite, so they probably just wanted to push out what they already fixed, especially because they probably didn’t want to delay things like playable characters in training mode and battle pass XP from just playing matches

[trim delta]

Haha

Yall GONE

Rip bozo

[opaque cliff]

🥺

[simple elm]

When is he coming back already damn

[rare moat]

Ikr

[trim delta]

Never.

[rich vigil]

How many iron giants did you lose to get this much joy out of him being gone from the game

[trim delta]

None. I have not had one match against a reindog or iron giant.

Not changing anytime soon 🫵🤣

[rich vigil]

Why the hate then?

[sinful dust]

People just wanna be toxic for no reason I guess

[rare moat]

Lil bro doesn't have a life so they gotta wonder to other channels to spread hate

[grizzled torrent]

Yeah pretty much

[frigid reef]

please PFG add him back soon. no character can replace IG 😭

[manic zephyr]

Any character can lmao

[dawn epoch]

What exactly was wrong with IG for him to be removed?

[sinful dust]

He had like 3-4 infinites, several ToD combos, and the burst from bolts kills at zero if your opponent is anywhere even remotely close to the blast zone

[dawn epoch]

I mean he is one of the most powerful fighters

Both in lore and in the game

[sinful dust]

Sure canonically he’s very powerful, but he was extremely degenerate in-game

There’s a reason basically every top player put him at like SSS tier and he was banned from tournaments at the end of week 1

[heavy mural]

Wait bruh why doesn’t he have hyper armor on any of his moves if Jason has hyper armor moves

[storm frost]

Funny thing is, Jason DOESN'T have armor

[heavy mural]

Dat charge move?!

[storm frost]

That's not armor

That's gray health

[heavy mural]

Doesn’t stop when I hit em

[storm frost]

Because that's how his ability works

While he has gray health and that dark fire around him, he is immune to knockback and I'm pretty sure his next attack is buffed

IG also has gray health

On his battle mode

[sinful dust]

It’s actually coded exactly like armor. You can even remove all his gray health with an armor breaking move even if you’re dealing less than the total amount he has

[shy shore]

it quite literally is

it just uses a dif word for it

[rich vigil]

Iron Giant is unfortunate

[pure tiger]

since Iron Giant is dead now, the mods should rename this thread to 'The Scrapyard'.

[sand dragon]

nah 💀

mods need to respect him

[frigid reef]

i just really hope IG isn't completely doggers ass. maybe too much wishful thinking

[warm canyon]

we will have to see what the new nair is like but if the knockback isnt too bad iron giant will still be fine

and if shine is still is left untouched he will still be a top tier character

that move really carries the whole character

[distant bronze]

It sucks the day I wanted to try iron giant he got removed and my friend finally got enough points to buy him them he was removed I'm in tears god I hope he comes back next patch.

[glacial root]

Rip

[shy shore]

he will i have a feeling he will

bruh

you guys are coping harder than us jason mains for a buff

i think hes fine eather way he is

even if he gets nerfed

iron giant was not fine

he was just removed because of his infinites and loops

i alwasy find a way to get get good with him

they probably wont nerf him

just remove his infinites

oh

ok

i thought they were nerfing him?

no

ok

iron giant wasnt strong before

in fact im pretty sure he was kinda weak

but carried by his infinites

the infinites were so gamebreaking they had to be removes
