Rick Sanchez

[white stag]

I just like playing as Rick and Morty.

[west coral]

I got the skin fellas it’s pretty neat

Got the banner and icon too

[manic saffron]

How long did it take

[west coral]

I think around 9 hours

Just afk farming

All day

[manic saffron]

How u afk farm?

[bold jungle]

Yea how tf do you afk farm lmfao

Unless you just join games and dont move

[bitter blade]

Im guessing

It’s a program that just presses a and right trigger constantly (a for confirming right trigger to traverse in the menu so you can’t cancel the match)

people kill you -> you go back to lobby -> join match-> get killed and repeat the process

[wary thunder]

bro why is it that every attack from rick has crazy hitboxes exept for the rocket boots, you gottahit perfect or else you miss

[rose mantle]

anyone know any rick combos for either rick or big rick

[raw crane]

FR

ricks down air is so useless unless your doing a portal combo

other then that i barley use it

[west coral]

I fell asleep last night but rifts, join the Hacking mini game in the techno terror rift, wait til there’s one minute on the clock kill it and repeat

You could probably setup a program that automatically retrys the level after you win

You get 150xp per

[stoic kayak]

Hi guys

I just bought rick

And I want to khow what its his best perk

Flammable or snowball

[bitter blade]

Snowball

[manic saffron]

It’s flammable

[nocturne crow]

Both are fine

Depends on your playstyle

I use flammable because I like to peck with uncharged shots to ignite them

[bitter blade]

Real

[stoic kayak]

Guys any tips for rick?

He can set up a lot of things

But I just buyer him

I need some tips

Also ik how to do the portal combo

[raw crane]

-when you respawn or when you kill your oppoment IMMEDEDANTLY set up pollymorth(or whatever the bubble thing is called)
-when someone is at a high % and isnt dying try to jab 1 + up whip
-if someone is trying to edge gaurd you off the map you can just back away fast and teleport back to the stage
-if you want to apply hazards to scare your oppoment late game try to set up portal from one side of the map to the other and then send out 2 meeseeks to run into those portals, your oppoment will get scared and try to jump over meeseeks giving you the perfect chance to jetpack into them and get the kill

-also is someone is trying to zone you or just be a (wet cat) and stall the match just use your bullets, this will force them to go aggro on you

sry for any spelling mistakes too lazy to double check rn lol

[limber flame]

@west coral bait and punish is the way with rick

use all your kit aswell, dont forget polymorph it s very strong

rick has super strong edge guarding aswell with polymoprh, fart, golf meesseeks and lasers. Pressing the enemy off stage to deplete their ressources and let them fall at 20 is one of his strengh

tho rick struggles a lot to kill "normally" i.e killing with a single move from the stage before 120ish, while a lot of characters can kill you at 80-100

[grim flint]

I find the whip a great finisher

[prisma obsidian]

How do you use teleport to damage people

[limber flame]

you mean how to portal combo ?

[hazy prairie]

what is the best signature move for rick

[vague robin]

best signature perk is hephaestus who

[limber flame]

hepheastus for 1v1 100%, messeeks one can be argued for 2v2 tho

[prisma obsidian]

Yes

When I try I just teleport

[white stag]

You spawn the portal at an opponent while they're in the hurt state.

[rose mantle]

/while in hitstun

[runic bluff]

Up to you

[nocturne crow]

I reached top 10 Rick last night

Through all the Finns and Aryas it was a pain

[tender ferry]

heck yeah, good stuff! i've been practicing Rick myself and he is pretty fun even when losing

[runic bluff]

Good stuff

[grim flint]

Was practicing Rick Portal Combos, so far I can deal 70 damage off them. Im not sure at what point to use AirWalker to extend the combo though.

[tender ferry]

it can be used to extend combos, but assuming ur using hephaestus whip for portal combos, air walker can be used to get a ko using a charged grounded up-attack off-stage

[runic bluff]

Thoughts?

https://x.com/WulfSite/status/1822264474553770253?t=xzKXnxd3jGbNiiA-DaY2mg&s=19

[gilded needle]

Is it just me or does rick barely do any damage? I will spend the entire match non stop hitting my opponent with combos and at the end I've barely done over 100 damage

[nocturne crow]

I especially want the crouching while shooting

But yeah all of that is pretty good

[rose mantle]

Why does the up special nerfed? I feel like it doesn’t do that much knockback

[runic bluff]

It can kill very early off the top. People complain about it and I can see why

[rose mantle]

ohhh okay, but wouldnt reducing his knockback do nothing if his only problem is at the top? even at full charge on the ground it wont kill at 100

[tender ferry]

dont they know by now that nerfing many characters just makes the game unenjoyable and then people migrate to whatever is the next top-tier

[rose mantle]

yep a mix of the community and devs that makes them nerf everyone instead of buffing the ones needing buffed, but its also unfun going against broken characters like jack or IG that will kill you early as hell

[keen ravine]

Im trying my best to understand the jab-jab-portal combo and the timing doesnt make any sense to me

Can anybody help me understand what im missing?

[tender ferry]

do the input for Rick's portal after jab 2, then flick left joystick towards opponent, and then back towards urself. it takes a little bit of practice, but once u are used to it u'll hit it everytime

[keen ravine]

THANK YOU!!

I managed to do it a few times using that strat.

Ill lab it for a bit to see if i can get it consistently

[tender ferry]

no problem

[hollow abyss]

im i the only one who have bug with the portals like sometimes it just disappear and dont teleport me

[simple brook]

Ya know rick is really fun

[bold jungle]

yea

sometimes portal just wont work and im not able to dash

also meeseeks that go through a portal a second time just dont hit anyone

[nocturne crow]

Second time? They can only go through portals once?

If they dodge the meeseeks once throughout it's lifecycle it will always pass through them even if they don't dodge it afterwards

[simple brook]

I've really been liking Rick. I'm not 100 percent a master with him but

[frigid oasis]

PLAYER FIRST GAMES ‼️‼️‼️ DROP ANOTHER RICK EMOTE AND SKIN 🔥AND MY LIFE IS YOURS ‼️‼️🔥🔥🗣️

[white stag]

Wait for Pickle Rick. It's gonna be worth it.

[limber flame]

no one is 100% master with rick the possibilities are endless 🤙

[simple brook]

Like I played rick when he was on free rotation I bought him cause of the new skin they made for him and I've just been having fun so yeah

[frigid oasis]

Rick do be rickin

[ivory forum]

Has anyone ever thought that Rick up neutral air is literally sticking a mega seed in your allies. . . Yeah. For making them more smart?

That's not quite aesthetic.

[white stag]

Yes. That's the reference.

[frigid oasis]

Rick fights dirty

[white stag]

I refuse to play Rick "optimally"

[nocturne crow]

Idk if you can DI up and away? Sometimes when people DI like that against me the loop is not as reliable but I haven't fought many Ricks myself

[haughty shale]

what loop lol

[nocturne crow]

Jab jab jump dodge side air

[haughty shale]

i dont think thats true

ive never seen a rick loop that

how would that be a loop though

side air knocks you away

[nocturne crow]

Try di up and away and see if it helps, otherwise idk

[haughty shale]

i tried it and i can see how its annoying but its not really completely true

maybe the bot or im just inconsistent with dodges but it kept dodging alot either when iwas about to go for side air or when i was about to hit jab 1 after side air

and it becomes really easy to dodge out especially after its done 2nd time

[runic bluff]

It is true

When your Polymorphed mainly

[haughty shale]

polymorphed rick is a completely different character ngl

the game becomes one sided when youre big rick

hes hella op

[runic bluff]

Sure is. Granted you can get blow up just as easily

[raw drift]

did rick's gun anim break?

[frigid oasis]

yeah if u chagre

[civic cloud]

glad we noticed that

[raw drift]

Using the wrong animation. A few things seem to need some visual fixing

[simple brook]

I was gonna say from what I've seen the Normal Rick styles skins are using the SEAL team Rick Animation idk kf the skin uses the default animation

[frigid oasis]

I hope it's just a bug cuz it's messing me up seeing Rick hold his gun like that lol

[icy parcel]

have i done you proud rick players? https://youtu.be/WMjpwzKA67Y

[runic bluff]

That got you a sub aha funny

[wispy trout]

Just got looped by a rick
Rick op plz nerf

[raw crane]

there are a million ways to escape a rick combo

like its not hard

press the dodge button

[vagrant widget]

You mean DI?

[stoic kayak]

Rick has no loops

[vagrant widget]

Plus you could argue that for literally any combo that isn’t Finn Gizmo or Jonkler combos

It’s not a loop it’s just a long combo

Oh wait

Maybe he means jab jab side air

[stoic kayak]

Is it the portal canceling

Jab jab portal then cancel into another jab

You can di that and dodge it

Only works 1 time

And yeah 2 jabs side air its not an loop, you ran out of air dodge so fast

And dont do a lot of dmg

Rick needs some reads to kill if you play him at the optimum way

[wispy trout]

I tried dodging it but maybe I js suck

[nocturne crow]

Well

It's a loop but it can be DI'd out of and isn't applicable EVERYWHERE on the stage

But yeah by term you do "loop" jab jab side air

Yes

I can't really think of any other loops in the game to try compare it to

Oh true

Yeah those ones are really strong too

Nope

Idk if you can DI out of Superman's either

[rose mantle]

why is morty so broken istg

he consitently kills at 70-80 and he's small/fast its so annoying

and every single morty main says he sucks

[bitter blade]

Even QQuirky?

[bitter blade]

It’s weakened

Not Morty himself

[manic saffron]

Rick is not the at good I’m the number 1 Rick and I don’t even loop

[manic saffron]

Complaining about morty after the patch yah ur cooked

[stoic kayak]

Its not you can di

[runic bluff]

Not while Polymorphed

[stoic kayak]

Oh yeah that's true

[stoic kayak]

If they ran put of air dodge

You can just di out and dodge

If they are using polymorph

Well you should pray

[runic bluff]

It's up and away

[keen ravine]

So, how do you guys deal with not having armor break moves when facing wonder woman, jason or supe?

[runic bluff]

You can run Armour breaker perks. It helps

[haughty shale]

i use the one where dash attacks break armor

[rose mantle]

His dash attack should have a proj. Shield

[gleaming wedge]

Does anyone know how to do the portal combos? I hit it immediately after the jab but it doesn't seem to work, what's the timing?

[manic saffron]

Yup agreed

[frigid oasis]

funny gun

[white stag]

It seems as if it would.

[rose mantle]

I keep thinking it does because of the animation

[icy parcel]

i've been playing a lot of rick in ffas to grind cybucks and flying meeseeks might be one of my fave moves ever

[manic saffron]

Yah it’s fun

[raw crane]

people keep saying rick as loops

but 90% of the time they dont dodge so the rick just keeps hitting them

and they think its a loop

[manic saffron]

Yah Rick doesn’t really have a loop

[random spear]

Honestly, I stopped trying to do those because it's just not consistent rather or not jab 2 knocks them back far enough for the portal to land.

[nocturne crow]

You gotta adjust the portal inwards or outwards on reaction

[manic saffron]

Bro it’s so consistent it jsut takes skill to aim it

The game isn’t played for u like the other character

[haughty shale]

i dont really find portal combos viable because aiming seems too much work when i can just do a jump dodge sair

[bitter blade]

It’s to extend combo

Jab jab jump dodge sair opposite direction

Loop until your almost done with dodges

And then jab jab into portal

[haughty shale]

o

ill try it

thanks

[random spear]

Tried it a bit myself. it does make it more consistent, but you have wait like half a sec after inputting side special before pressing the opposite direction to adjust the portal (otherwise, Rick will start aiming the portal facing the complete wrong direction if you try adjusting too quickly, which is annoying).

[bitter blade]

I didn’t? Mean it like that?

I said jab jab jump dodge sair (opposite direction)

[random spear]

I'm just talking about making jab 2 into portal combo more consistent to land.

[bitter blade]

Oh

[haughty shale]

ive been trying to do the portal combo but the character keeps coming out of the portal at an awkward angle where its kinda behind rick so the whip does hit

bot is set to dodge after hitstun

[bitter blade]

Oh just jump and do down air

Whip isn’t ever going to hit the opponent

[haughty shale]

oh

thats unfortunate

[random spear]

I could also try using the airwalker perk to land jab 1>up tilt in air after the portal launch. it can kill at like 90-100 dmg.

[haughty shale]

ive been trying to do this as well, but jab 1 never manages to hit, only whip

[haughty shale]

also the whip hits after like 90

[haughty shale]

might be jumping too low

i realised i have to jump a second time after opening the portal

jab1 is hitting now

[civic cloud]

what’s supposed to happen when you reach the limit of how long you hold rick portal in air?

[runic bluff]

https://x.com/AJAX_HQ/status/1825628334707061143?t=A6fHboTf3tfcg6YU2GNRYA&s=19

[simple brook]

I was wondering what is going to happen to rick

[civic cloud]

pre rick nerf

the tech changes means that alot of characters that get extensions off of ground bounces won’t get them anymore right?

[simple brook]

He gets like one

[haughty shale]

this is the first patch where rick got actualy changes

jab 1 nerf

jab 3 big buffs

[paper mason]

How we feeling about the notes?

[haughty shale]

Air/Ground Neutral Attack

• Fixed an issue where charged and uncharged lasers were not properly handling projectile interactions

what does this mean

[bitter blade]

Rick getting the w

Let’s gooooo

[haughty shale]

DAIR GOT HITBOX BUFF

IT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE GOOD NOW?

[bitter blade]

I’m so happy

Dair is good

[haughty shale]

Air Up Special
– Reduced backwards horizontal momentum during launch

does this mean theyll go mroe vertical?

[simple brook]

Where ate the

[haughty shale]

https://multiversus.com/en/news/1-2-2-mid-season-patch-notes

[random spear]

I think the laser straight ignored some projectiles and went right through them instead colliding like it's supposed to.

[runic bluff]

https://x.com/WulfSite/status/1825946655541309728?t=tP4y_PvZjttmRPKcvsOoUQ&s=19

[fickle copper]

Rick jabs feel abysmal now sheesh

Just when i was getting back my love for the game

[haughty shale]

they fixed the gun animation

[fickle copper]

Yeah and the meeks feel amazing too

But damn

The jabs…..

So damn slow now

[haughty shale]

kinda feels like im charging it

jab 3 actually kills now though

[fickle copper]

Yeah it feels so bad, literally all the guy had going for himself

[haughty shale]

they buffed everything else

im not really that dissatisfied with the jab1 nerf

they finally buffed dair

[fickle copper]

Yeah true but all those things started with his jab combo lol

[haughty shale]

i mean it all still works

jab1's pullout is just slower

so you have to time it better

will be weird to adjust to not relying too much on jab1 though

[fickle copper]

Just did a game in ranked

Im plat 1

I will not be playing this game again, the jab on rick is so slow that it can now just be dodged and SUPER easy to read. Cant combo it anymore. It feels so slow dude. You’ll see.

[haughty shale]

how did it go

[fickle copper]

Wont be playing for a while atleast

[haughty shale]

i played a match and im loving dair so much

hitting dair before was so difficult before

now it finally feels like it consistently hits

jab1's slowness feels kinda off but its just something to get used to

[fickle copper]

Its not about being carried by jab. Its about them nerfing him everytime i re learn this mfer. Learned him during beta, changed em. Learned him after beta, changed em. Changing him AGAIN after beta, im good bruh

Yeah i feel bad for them too

[runic bluff]

It's not as bad as it seems. Trust he has better combos now. Flying meseeks has better hitstun, Fartbomb is faster, and jab 3 always links and can kill, up airs stronger, dair is bigger and more active, and you can still jab sair

He's better then before

[simple brook]

I've actually been pulling off some crazy stuff

[bold jungle]

ricks jab 1 feels weird but everything else seems to be good

[simple brook]

Yeah jab one os really slow but everything else has been fine

[bold jungle]

has anyone find any new rick combos

im so used to jab spamming that its abit weird for me to play lol

[sharp sigil]

What do you guys use to start combos now?

[untold flame]

Same stuff jab, sair, meseeks, gun etc

[sharp sigil]

Why are your fellow Rick mains in feedback so whiny about him then 🤔 the character has never been bad but they refuse to accept that he's okay

[untold flame]

Imo he’s better

He loses jabs brokenness yeah but you get more consistency with other stuff

I only played like 5 games with him tho so I need more time

[sharp sigil]

Appreciate this I just wanna make sure I'm not crazy

[fickle copper]

Whats yall ranks with him??

Im curious

Like im rank 107 with him in ranked in 1s and rank 168 im 2s. You cant 0 to death kids no more. I started all my combos with jab 1

Now its so awkward and hard to get a combo going. I gotta be fighting someone mid to get a hit with jab now

[nocturne crow]

It sounds like you're just complaining you can't neutral skip with jab to a kill anymore

[fickle copper]

They even nerfed the knockback of the combo 😭

[fickle copper]

And it sounds like my point went completely over your head.

Im complaining about the fact that his jab combo was the start of majority of his combos. Now that it is so slow, how are you supposed to combo at all

Like i get that he had loops etc but they didn’t need to nerf the speed

[frigid oasis]

eyy nice rick got buffs

[white stag]

Use any move that isn't jab.

Rick himself would be calling you a loser for that kind of comment.

[fickle copper]

Man where the real rick players

They know

[white stag]

I play Rick sometimes.

He's kind of a secondary.

[frigid oasis]

fr, like Meeseeks can hit better now

[white stag]

I got level 13 with him.

[frigid oasis]

The fart bomb, whip, etc.

[fickle copper]

I can tell not many Rick mains here because this update trash

Its like they want you to play broken toons only, shaggy, sam jack, now beetlejuice etc

[white stag]

Rick works if you work for it. That's why he's a Hard character.

[fickle copper]

He was hard before

Now hes trash

Very simple

Hard = high skill ceiling

Idc no more though, im done with it.. Thrones and Liberty 2024 man

[stoic kayak]

What happend to rick on this balance changes

What changed?

[untold flame]

Jab is still good it’s just much more punishable now I mostly use it off reads, his dair has felt pretty good after patch

[untold flame]

Shaggy and jack got only nerfs lol

At least Rick got some trades

[fickle copper]

Yeah whats the point in trades that dont matter when you cant combo into them anymore?! And shaggy and samurai jack got nerfs?! Riight, the 2 main things that everyone complains about is still in the game untouched! Their side specials!!!

@untold flame

Give me a break, they keep making this game worse

You’ll see when it takes you 2 mins or more to find a match against the same people.

[untold flame]

Wym samurai jack side special got nerfs. Shaggys problem isn’t side special. Rick got multiple combo starters buffed. Just bc they made the character slightly harder to play doesn’t mean the game is worse. This is the best patch since release by far

[fickle copper]

Lol i just played with him… the “nerfs” are barely noticeable, as you can still spam it.

Shaggy side special is a problem, especially in 2s

What rank were you with Rick?

[untold flame]

Idk man sounds to me like ur just coping I promise you these changes are more of a buff for Rick than nerf

Only thing that sucks is the auto tech kinda screwed some portal combos but it’s still good damage

[untold flame]

Like g2 bc I mainly play him in customs

[fickle copper]

Idk man, i guess im just bad and coping

I wont be playing the game though

@untold flame

[untold flame]

That’s ur decision bro if you aren’t having fun then don’t play

The point of games is to have fun

I took like a 2 week break before patch bc I found the game stale

[fickle copper]

My exact thoughts, i just hope they chillout. Seems like they lose more and more players with every patch note that drops. From youtubers to actual players.

[civic cloud]

jab 1 feels a lot slower

am i tripping ?

[untold flame]

It got nerfed

Jab 3 buffed

[civic cloud]

they nerfed the speed and hitbox?

[untold flame]

Correct

[nocturne crow]

I'm top like 11 btw

[fickle copper]

Even more wild to me then.

[civic cloud]

somewhere in the 60’s (1’s) I think diamond 3 with rick, in 2’s he feels a bit jank, I will say jab is a lot slower, jab 2 into jump, portal, air walker, jab 1, up tilt has gotten more consistent??? (it’s not guaranteed but I have robbed people at like 59-80 percent)

[civic cloud]

what combo starter got buffed?

[untold flame]

dair fartbomb and meeseeks all got some adjustments

[untold flame]

noob

false

bronze 2

[fickle copper]

Its trash now

[untold flame]

if i beat you in 1v1 can i get the diddy server

coward

i dont think rick can be hard against like higher level players but hes still good

some characters just bully him tho

good neutral and resets

can setup alot of characters too

the ones with the moves

the one that the character does

are u actually asking me what setups?

[nocturne crow]

God I'm so glad Rick isn't just a jab bot now

He was so boring before

Even if this was a "nerf" it's so much healthier for him as a character

[queen epoch]

Speak for yourself

[untold flame]

real im glad like most characters got changed from only using jabs

[nocturne crow]

Whether people like the nerf or not because it most likely IS a nerf since his jab was way too broken which carried him into being good, it's much healthier for the balancing of Rick to be shifting towards the rest of his kit

Even if he's not so great right now which idk if he is it's too early to say

You can still get your kill confirms but you can't 0-death people easily for hitting them with jab now

Good grief you live up to your name

[dark jetty]

Bro alot of goof rick buffs

Since when did he have a zero to death

[nocturne crow]

I over exaggerated but Rick's combos off jab might as well have been in the right circumstances

It was a completely unfair move and I can't believe people are mad it got nerfed

[dark jetty]

I dont think it was so unbaring to where it was broken and had to js be gutted but idm if that it got nerfed he did get buffed as welll in terms of his rocket which is great

Hell he got off pretty easy compared to jack in terms of the jabs

Being nerfed

His meeseeks got buffed

His fart bomb

His rocket can now hit

Consitently

Rocket couldnt hit consitently at all

Fart bomb was bad it never works

Really

Now it acc can be good for combos

His buffs arent like game changing but they are like good because now he isnt js a jab spammer

Like garnet

[nocturne crow]

The jab was the complaint of like every person who had to fight Rick

And I hated having to fight people who constantly complained about it because it IS unfair but it was Rick's only approach option

[dark jetty]

There was a kid in general

Crying abt ricks lazer

Abt how broken it is

😭

[nocturne crow]

That one is unjustified

[dark jetty]

I thought he was lying

And he fr wasnt

[nocturne crow]

Is laser really good now?

[dark jetty]

And hes also the same guy whos active in chat

And js complains abt every char

[nocturne crow]

Always will be people like that

[dark jetty]

His lazer is fine

Hasnt been touched

Or buffed

[nocturne crow]

Thing is if he complained about Rick jab I wouldn't fault him (unless it's this patch)

[nocturne crow]

Ah ok

[dark jetty]

His meeseeks like i said

Did get buff a lil

Which is good

I thought it would be the longeivity of them being buffed

But the buff they got was good

[nocturne crow]

Yes

[dark jetty]

Abd they added a timer for his poloymorph which was good

[nocturne crow]

Being able to combo off aerial meeseeks is super good

There's still good things you can do with Rick

[dark jetty]

I love his

Aerial meeseeks

Its so fun to use

Good tool to recover as well

Good hitbox

Oh yeahh they made his

Uh rocket boot move

An acc moce

Before it was js bad

What was his best move

Ik ur a number 1 ragebaiter

But

I mean

Not really in the sense they bascsilly made him

Less of a jab 1

Spammer

Now his jab kit is js able to do some stuff better then before

The buff while it isnt like meta defining

Is like jakes buff

Shadow buffs

[dark jetty]

Was a good patch for rick players instead of gutting his jab entirely they gave him small nerfs and some decent sized buffs

[simple brook]

I'm glad the fixed his gun. cause now the skin I used has his proper gun

[dark jetty]

Bro i cant tell if ur fr

Or ur baiting

I geuinelly cant tell thats how good u are

Or how im buggin cause a lack of sleep

[nocturne crow]

Absolutely bait

And if it isn't then uh shouldn't have made it your name

[dark jetty]

BRO is a top tier baiter

😭

bhands

Already said the rick nerf was fine

And his buffs were good

U cant say hes worse either because the patch has literally came out today as well

Wheter ur ragebaiting or not

Only time well tell how the nerfs and buffs he recived on his jab

[untold flame]

hes technically worse but hes def more fun

[nocturne crow]

Top 9 Rick

[nocturne crow]

Absolutely

[untold flame]

also the dodge cancel attack changes were really good for him because now jump dodge sair is 2 bars instead of 3

[nocturne crow]

Either way it's a healthy change

[dark jetty]

^

[dark jetty]

I feel like hes slightly better but like i said only time well tell

Not by much though

Like hes not better not much

Like the buffs he js got like i js said

Are shadow buffs

They are like jakes buffs

There js there

[dark jetty]

That is as well

[nocturne crow]

If this is true that's really disappointing that you can't play your main without your carry move anymore

[untold flame]

nah jake got destroyed this patch

[dark jetty]

Garnet bro

She acc is kinds

Saucy

With her buffs

[untold flame]

isnt there also a velma tod now?

[dark jetty]

Js wait till the next big patch

Theres gonna be kids complaining

Abt ricks rocket

😭

[untold flame]

btw for the stripe matchup

did u know that down meseeks always hits him when he dynamites because hes in hitsun

its like pretty strong

[dark jetty]

Yeah ive found that out acc

Acc shocked me

I thought that was a bug

[dark jetty]

Idk if stripe is a bad match for rick

Or its js even

[nocturne crow]

It seems kinda even

[untold flame]

it feels kinda even to me

[nocturne crow]

Yeah yeah we get it

[untold flame]

like u can do some good stuff with down meseeks to stripe but he can kill u really early

[dark jetty]

I love both chars

[untold flame]

i havent played stripe yet but he looks fun

[dark jetty]

Dude play him

[nocturne crow]

You can stop playing the game or whatever you've made your case enough

[dark jetty]

Hes so fun to play

Like no joke

I love stripe

[nocturne crow]

Literally said he got buffs in other categories

[untold flame]

imma get my jake ranked up then play him

[dark jetty]

I wanted to play rick in 1s

To yk get him to master

[nocturne crow]

Stay stubborn man you live up to your name fr

[dark jetty]

But im like nah lemme stripe up there

And then rick in 1s

2s**

Nah RICK IN 2S i think is probably a top 5 char in that mode

Js flows well

[nocturne crow]

Yeah can imagine

[dark jetty]

I love doing portal stuff

And polymorphing people

U combine him with a char that likes to js being in the mix like shaggy or taz maybe even ww

[nocturne crow]

I played some 1s now fought some good people

Jabversus is finally over

[dark jetty]

Honestly im glad

Really was just who had the longer stronger and more priority jab

[nocturne crow]

I'll give it a couple days on how Rick stands rn, but honestly still feels good, definitely worse because of how insane jab was before but much healthier

[nocturne crow]

Exactly

[dark jetty]

Dude no jokr when i hear drick was getting nerfed

I thought his fair

Got nerfed bro 😭

Bro that move is good

I love killing people early with it on the sides

[nocturne crow]

Yeah true it's such a good move

[dark jetty]

Can even do jet skis into his fair

And then jab

On low percents

[untold flame]

his fair did get nerfed i think but i dont feel it that much

[dark jetty]

I thought they were fr gonna nerf that but im so glad they didnt

[nocturne crow]

Oh fr?

[dark jetty]

Even if it did im glad they didnt gut the moce

Cause his fair is very good

Like no joke that move is so goofy sometimes with the kill power

[nocturne crow]

Oh yeah can't cancel it on hit as quick or something

[dark jetty]

If u could it js be overbaring

Wheter as a rick main or as a person who hates fighting him

[nocturne crow]

Combine it with comboing off aerial meeseeks

[dark jetty]

YEAh ive done that as well

With the jet skis fair jab combo into whip

[nocturne crow]

You can do jab, jab, jump, dodge, aerial meeseeks, f-air

[dark jetty]

Then aerial meeseeks seed

[nocturne crow]

Or that even

Hopefully other Rick mains will find some crazy stuff

[dark jetty]

Been watching alot of portal guides

Now i can constantly hit it

And js been doing portal things

Like spawnig a meeseeks and using ricks portals to send it back to me

[nocturne crow]

Also they said they made it so whip connects better from its 1st hit into the 2nd

[dark jetty]

Or lazer

[nocturne crow]

But it still dropped for me so uh

[dark jetty]

This move was bad

In the beta

Now it js feels okay

[nocturne crow]

True

[dark jetty]

I use this to kill off jab

[nocturne crow]

Now it can get some really good kills

[dark jetty]

It kills at like the 120s

But with the jab changes

Idk if thats still yk

[nocturne crow]

You can do some airwalker stuff to make it kill way early

[dark jetty]

Oo

I might go on dat

But i js been using flam doc

With his portal perk

And then speed and pugilist

[nocturne crow]

Knock someone in a portal, jump, neutral air dodge to make the platform then whip

[nocturne crow]

I use that sometimes

Actually no I use it all the time

[dark jetty]

Ive also been using armor crush or armor killer

For superman

Or wonderwoman

Because i forget rick has No armor breaking moves

[nocturne crow]

I use the fire portal perk or Hephaestus, flammable, airwalker and pugilist

[dark jetty]

Which is js sad

[untold flame]

ive been using Hephaestus and it still drops unfortunately sometimes

[nocturne crow]

Yeahhh

[dark jetty]

Ngl thats why ive js been using the portal perk

Instead of heph sometimes

Tm dropping

[nocturne crow]

I use Hephaestus for getting some dumb kills off stage

[dark jetty]

ESP when its kills

[nocturne crow]

Airwalker and charge whip to drag someone down when they're above you

[untold flame]

i still think hephaestus is worth the damage over portal

[dark jetty]

The portal with flame doc js racks the dmg slowly

But it sticks alot

[nocturne crow]

Well with the new ground bounce changes maybe not now

[dark jetty]

Esp when u can js play a fsr

And if somebody tries to punish

U use ur jab

[untold flame]

i like the dodge read with jet skis after auto tech

its easier now imo

[nocturne crow]

That's true

[dark jetty]

Its really good cause i like to mix it up esp in ranked

[dark jetty]

I wish jet skis

When u first use it

Its faster

Ik its balanced rn

But i wish its startup frames were way faster

[nocturne crow]

I'm trying to think and compare it to like

Shaggy kick

It doesn't seem too far off from its start up time from my memory but I'm probably wrong?

[dark jetty]

Yeah

I want it to be faster

But ion want it to js be spammed

But u can fr do jet skis into jab

Like its hilarious

How u can js do jab right after u fair

And can do aerial meeseeks after

And seed

[nocturne crow]

Yeah

[untold flame]

its like kick but with way less range

[dark jetty]

But its not spammable

Cause its start u0

And u have to wait till u get portlas back

[untold flame]

yep

[dark jetty]

Its balanced but the start up ruins it for me

Esp in tight moments

[untold flame]

i mostly use jet skit for like dodge read bc the startup usually last the same length as dodge, or i use it as edge guard

[dark jetty]

Ye thats acc a good bonus i can say with the startup

So even if its frames werent faster rn its perfectly balanced

[raw drift]

Why does rick just feel awful t play now

[fickle copper]

Because he is, these ppl will tell you different though

They think Bhands, a pro mvs player is the standard to go off of

And hes also a Youtuber trying to get in good with the devs, he piggybacks on everything they do as a good thing 🤣

@dark jetty

[raw drift]

what did they do to him

[fickle copper]

Nerf tf out his jab 1, its super slow and now he has no way to approach for combos

[raw drift]

they should've made meeseeks air an actual combo tool if they were going to hit his whiff this hard

[white stag]

He has every way to approach for combos.

[fickle copper]

K

[raw drift]

like what

i dont think his projectiles are that good for feeding into combos as much as they are for keeping out so what does he have

[white stag]

After damaging with projectiles, you can always follow up with Portal, Skis, or Dash Attack.

You can also use flying Meeseeks, but that's moreso for continuing combos.

[bold jungle]

You can spawn a running meeseeks and when someone jumps over it you can sair into them and try to start something

But jab 1 feels kinda ass now

But im getting used to it

Everything else feels good tho

[fickle copper]

Yeah i agree! Everything else is A1 and amazing, shouldve been like that from the start. Meeks feel like beta meeks now

[haughty shale]

man how do i counter jerry

he breaks everyting

cant even counter him with meeseeks

[bold jungle]

Jet ski him

[haughty shale]

jet ski kills jerry?

[fickle copper]

They should’ve just kept the speed atleast

[bold jungle]

Nah fr 😭

[fickle copper]

Its easy to read and counter now

[bold jungle]

Also did they change rocket?

[haughty shale]

yes

[bold jungle]

I swear my rockets arnt hittin people

[fickle copper]

Yeah jab 2-3 is faster

[bold jungle]

O

[haughty shale]

they buffed it

it comes out quicker and has some kill power now

[bold jungle]

Weird

It feels faster but people are doding

[haughty shale]

especially charged rocket

[bold jungle]

You can charge rocket?

💀

[haughty shale]

yeah

[fickle copper]

Yeah lol

[bold jungle]

How am i just realizing this

[haughty shale]

ive been using it to kill since this patch

it actually has kill power now

im actually so glad

rocket couldnt even kill at 170 before

[bold jungle]

Ngl my favoritw rick kill is meeseeks

I had a sweaty game with both us use at 100% and my random meeseeks that I spawn hit my opponent in the air and i won

[haughty shale]

does jet ski break projectiles

[bold jungle]

It was amazing

[bold jungle]

I dont think so?

[haughty shale]

yeah i just checked it doesnt

man jerry is so annoying to deal with

[white stag]

Dair hitbox was also increased finally

[haughty shale]

yeah

[bold jungle]

Bro imagine if club meeseeks can hit jerry

Idk if thats too much to ask for but it would be amazing

[haughty shale]

they could make it so he relfects jerry then jerry dies after touching the ground

it would be better than jerry literally just going "nah im better" and breaking every projectile tat comes his way

[bold jungle]

Who wins

Mad scientist that has the powers of a god or tiny ass mouse

[stray tundra]

He had loops so it was worth it

[white stag]

Read the conversation above.

Side Air, Neutral Attack, Side Special, Any Meeseeks, Dash Attack, Down Air.

Jab still works if you do it right.

You don't gotta be fast to approach, you just gotta do it well.

He has no easy approach tools.

Not melee.

Hard character.

If you can't handle the difficulty, don't play him.

Yeah, you are.

He is if you can pour enough hours into learning him. If you're having trouble with that, try visiting the Training mode and labbing combos.

I'm not in Platinum.

No, I'm a Morty.

Silver.

I played him in Beta though.

And have level 13 in full.

Tell that to the tryhards that are hate bombing the game.

Rick isn't top tier. He's just hard.

[nocturne crow]

Oh my God this guy is still going lmao

[white stag]

He doesn't have to.

[nocturne crow]

I went to sleep and still going

[white stag]

He's a zoner.

Zoners aren't big on approach anyway.

Then you will make him good.

[runic bluff]

Peep this if you think Ricks weak this patch. And if it matters im ranked #8 Rick

https://x.com/WulfSite/status/1826051192117694507?t=ezZSqomgpBiSeyNvTU4brw&s=19

[nocturne crow]

Damn nice

Yeah air dodge aerial meeseeks is so good

[runic bluff]

IAD meseeks is the new jab

What's your tag

[nocturne crow]

Like I said if you can't play your main without your crutch move then you never truly mained this character

[white stag]

If you actually were the best Rick, you wouldn't be complaining.

[nocturne crow]

Also I don't even think Bhands is the best Rick

[runic bluff]

Straight up if you are that upset about jab you may have been carried 🗿 the rest of his kit is significantly improved

[nocturne crow]

Absolutely carried

[runic bluff]

It is consist

Look at Ruthless's clips

[white stag]

Sorry for this guy's audacity, he's 12.

Yes, but it did improve enough.

[nocturne crow]

There is no use in arguing with this guy

At this rate just block him

Whatever you tell him he just ignores

[runic bluff]

Agree to disagree

[nocturne crow]

And plus his name

We've had this conversation last night

I'm not having it again

Yeah.

[runic bluff]

I listed everything. Im telling you learn IAD flying meseeks

[nocturne crow]

Don't try Wulf please

We tell him what's been improved then ignores it

[runic bluff]

That's why I said agree to disagree. Homie is set in his ways, im not trying to force a change of perspective

[nocturne crow]

Yeah but he'll stand his ground either way

[runic bluff]

Pretty much every other high level Rick is fine with the jab change. If you're not that's totally fine

[nocturne crow]

But he's rank 1!

apparently

[runic bluff]

Ranked isn't a big indicator of much tbh. It's more so playtime as is. The beginning of the season messed up point distribution

[nocturne crow]

EXACTLY

I hated how ranked was dealt with, in silver I was winning against GMs and still got no points lol

[runic bluff]

Brother in Rick https://x.com/WulfSite/status/1825946655541309728?t=IBJOQaRM3Ci-9eoMlYyJEw&s=19

[nocturne crow]

It was literally just who has more free time to play this game

[runic bluff]

I could probably push to #1 but I have a wife and a full time job. Don't have that kinda time

[nocturne crow]

Exactly

[runic bluff]

And im in the process of moving

[nocturne crow]

So true bestie

[runic bluff]

-Jab 3 kills
-Flying meseeks combos into up air and up special. Jab 1 2 into flying is incredible
-Fart bomb is faster
-IAD flying meseeks is better then you think since it's a untreatable burst option
-Dair is bigger and more active
-Up air kills earlier when charged
-Blaster hits gizmo and Arya when standing
-Airwalker kill confirm still works and there's new ones off jab and flying meseeks

[stray tundra]

Bruh just say broze 5 when some one ask for your rank

[runic bluff]

Polymorph has a timer so you can prepare for when it runs out

[stray tundra]

Unless your diamond+

[runic bluff]

Just don't lean on jab man

[white stag]

I don't play Rick often in Ranked.

[runic bluff]

Dodge jab is still strong for whiff punishes

[stray tundra]

Yea I know but just act like you don’t play ranked at all

[runic bluff]

Bro. It's quick and a flying disjoint. I don't understand why you think it's not good

[stray tundra]

These mfs will clown you even tho ranked has bad mmr

[nocturne crow]

Do you really need a move to be extremely op to even do well in a game lmao

You're asking for like the best move in the game or something

[runic bluff]

So im not gonna try to convince you anymore. Just gonna enjoy the changes and still cook with Rick

[white stag]

I mostly play Morty, my Rick is more of a newer thing.

[runic bluff]

Whiff punish with flying IAD or Sair. Not really that big of a task. Jab needed to be changed

[nocturne crow]

No way you're defending Rick's jab

With THAT

[white stag]

Rick's jab isn't even that awful. You hit it once, and you can still combo.

[nocturne crow]

Too SLOW?

Oh I cannot believe I'm being punished for whiffing my move

You are SO carried by old jab oh my God

[runic bluff]

No it doesn't. Just a little meter

[white stag]

Imagine relying on exactly one move so much that you never learn the character.

[nocturne crow]

Literally

[white stag]

That's actually kinda sad.

[nocturne crow]

You learned jab

Literally said IAD Sair, his ground moves are used for other purposes

Clearly Rick isn't your character and I'm glad the jab nerf is making you realize that

BAD RANGE?

You're baiting

Good grief

Can you just stop playing the game like you said and stop talking you are achieving nothing

Top 9

Without abusing jab like you

Still won games against other people in masters and stuff last night

Is that really what you think was the standard for Rick

You can ignore the tips then

Like I said he's clearly not a character for you

Clearly.

Which is why when a single move got nerfed you're not playing the game anymore

Still on repeat

Yeah I'm an idiot for trying to speak to you again

[white stag]

Do you choose to not learn?

Like, do you have trouble in regular education?

[nocturne crow]

Is this something we'd need to bring to the mods because it's hella disruptive if this guy keeps complaining like this

Ignored the question lmfao

Not a good look

[white stag]

Because I managed to get into college, and also understand the premise of Rick and Morty.

[nocturne crow]

Jesus you do struggle

[white stag]

Do you struggle to retain information from studies?

Guys, I don't think this guy likes learning.

Same thing you're yapping about, but better because I listen to reasonable people.

[nocturne crow]

I'm just gonna stop wasting time with him

[white stag]

Do we call the mods?

[nocturne crow]

Eh

Thanks

I'm surprised you're even still in the server

my name

Me when I lie

Top 9 Rick

Maybe it's gone down since I was playing last night and someone might have played while I was asleep

[white stag]

Still bound to be at least Top 20

[nocturne crow]

Learning the new patch duh

I'm not playing to win rn

Tryna test and learn stuff

[runic bluff]

This is going nowhere. Why not just agree to disagree?

[nocturne crow]

Kinda difficult if he's gonna judge me based off my profile

[runic bluff]

Yall are wasting your time. No one's minds are gonna change at this point

Insults don't solve anything

[nocturne crow]

Like they're gonna stop

Gladly would stop otherwise

[runic bluff]

It's a game smh

[nocturne crow]

You cannot be serious

Eh yeah it's going nowhere

<@&882349260409032746>

Damn I can't send gifs

Imagine the LTG gif "mods, crush his skull"

Although the conversation may be too long now

[bitter blade]

https://x.com/ytnibi/status/1826253508884275529?s=46

[fickle copper]

Lol why would you play like that 😭😭😭

Thats horrible

[bitter blade]

What wdym?

It was just to hit the 0 to death

[bold jungle]

I mean

Rn im just jet ski spamming lmfao

Jet ski in and then try to jab

not the best but eh

[civic cloud]

you spoke my mind fr

[bold jungle]

Yall are jab spammers

(I am to)

But im not going to complain

Just adapt

[civic cloud]

does rocket kill earlier then jab 1 uptilt?

[runic bluff]

Not anymore 💪🏽

[bold jungle]

Real

[runic bluff]

If you're at ledge yeah

[bold jungle]

Theres alot better ways of playing rick then just jab spamming

Yall have to actually use your brains now

Also polymoth is a thing

It makes it easier to jab combo

[runic bluff]

IAD flying meseeks is huge tbh. Replaces jab

[civic cloud]

did they make it so it’s easier to do? or doesn’t place a standing meeseeks when excuted

nah it’s not anymore

i just tested it

why would you do Iad meeseeks off jab 😭

[bold jungle]

Nah bro digging up the info 💀

[civic cloud]

jab 2 or jab 1?

sure why not

[bold jungle]

😭

[civic cloud]

thanks 🙏🏾

[bold jungle]

Your name is true btw

I lost to a gizmo main

Called the cops on him

He was a PDF file

Trust

Never trust a gizmo

[runic bluff]

What makes it not consistent?

You obviously don't know how I play if you're basing anything off a bad couple games when I was drunk. Dude im 27 im not gonna do a D!ck measuring contest with you. Your ego is hilarious. You wanna think you know it all because you play more by all means. At this point you proved im wasting my time talking to you. Enjoy your "end of the world" because jab got nerfed

[runic bluff]

Yeah it's easy as hell now because they fixed an issue with his IADs not working

And you can do it without using actual meseeks. I can pull it off everytime. It's literally not hard anymore

[nocturne crow]

When I do the aerial meeseeks combo I like to sometimes read the airdodges

[bitter blade]

Why you gotta be like this man 😭

We playin the same character over here

[nocturne crow]

<@&882349260409032746> I'll ping again

[scenic sable]

Gone

[bitter blade]

Thank you moderator

[civic cloud]

did you remove #1 rage baiter 💀

[nocturne crow]

Thank God

[civic cloud]

I think he was talking about jab 2 into flying meeseeks

we sparred and sometimes it hit and some times it didn’t which could be a skill issue on his part, idk how to do jab 2 into flying meeseeks the timing is hard

[civic cloud]

what did bro say 💀

[scenic sable]

The racist nono word

[civic cloud]

oh

[vagrant widget]

Wow

[civic cloud]

are you supposed to IAD after jab 2? or are you supposed to jump and dodge forward like you would for a sair?

[runic bluff]

Jab 2 into flying works consistently but you need to dodge more into them. Takes a bit of finesse

[runic bluff]

IAD

[civic cloud]

so it’s good at catching dodges basically

[runic bluff]

I have dodge set to a trigger R2 And neutral special on my L2 My R2 so I hold up and away then dodge then click L2

Works almost every time unless I mess up

[civic cloud]

I basically have something similar, it’s the timing, it’s like you have to do it so late for it to work

[runic bluff]

If they dodge and you catch them with jab you can do it. It's super good at ledge because after flying meseeks you can sair or up special and it's true

Perfect example

https://x.com/PurgatoryJ413/status/1826072864141046209?t=rh0eKy-TvExMMJlB8uqOfg&s=19

[civic cloud]

ohhhhh

[runic bluff]

Also peep this

https://x.com/WulfSite/status/1826059306602496099?t=OD9PhmAkKfa9R4RhNwGSZg&s=19

[runic bluff]

Tip for those struggling to IAD with Rick. I play on ps5. I've set up my controls so I flying meseeks(neutral special with L2 and dodge on R2.

I'll hold up and away hit R2 then L2. Easy easy IAD flying meseeks. Give it a shot

[untold flame]

Jump dodge meseeks is really good I havent tried this kill confirm yet

[runic bluff]

Yup it's looking to be the future

[nocturne crow]

I landed this a couple times earlier today

Such a good buff

Sometimes the enemy can DI out of it but if they do they're usually in a bad spot anyways

[runic bluff]

Exactlyyy

[dark jetty]

Bro u gotta be ragebaiting 😭

[dark jetty]

Im gonna be doin this

[fickle copper]

Just when i thought he was on my side 😪😭

Rick nerfs are terrible still though, that still stands!

[unique wraith]

Mick and Rorty, my fav duo

[sharp sigil]

@indigo otter

[white stag]

A hundred years. Forever.

[haughty shale]

do you guys have any tips for whiff punishment, im kinda struggling since jab 1 is too slow sometimes and they dodge

[white stag]

Up Attack

Or just read their dodge and don't miss Jab 1.

Or down air.

[haughty shale]

thanks

[civic cloud]

it feels like if I throw jab out at the same time as everyone else mines is just too slow to contest

or if I try to whiff punish they can just dodge before my jab comes out

[indigo otter]

His jab does feel awful... I hate it that is doesn't connect to anything anymore

[white stag]

If someone DIs incorrectly, you can follow up with Side or Down Air.

[runic bluff]

Best way to whiff punish is IAD flying meseeks. Laser has more priority now and meseeks has more health. It can also reflect more then on projectile now

I found whiff punishing with flying meseeks and confirming off laser shots to be the most effective

[nocturne crow]

He seems way less aggressive and more as a zoner now which feels like what he's supposed to be

But I will say the jab is a little clunky

[civic cloud]

he jabs like he got something up his -

[civic cloud]

😪

[raw crane]

bro ngl

ik rick got buffed and all

but

but playing rick feels kinda bad now

like im litreally punished for going to a jab

its so damn slow

they needed to nerf the hitbox not the damn speed

[civic cloud]

yeah you can’t go for jab anymore apparently the wave is to go for IAD meeseeks since his jab is fodder

[haughty shale]

im struggling to hit them with iad meeseeks when theyre close by

i cover like half the map with iad meeseek

[civic cloud]

man I can’t beat anyone on rick unless they’re playing rick

maybe I just need time but idk man this character is way worse for me personally

[haughty shale]

im kinda feeling the same way

[civic cloud]

i have a 20% winrate today 💀💀
yesterday it was 38%
before the update i had a 67%

yeah i’m cooked i’ve only beaten a stripe and a agent smith

[haughty shale]

i didnt even get any wins in ranked today

i got so tilted i just closed the game

[civic cloud]

I can’t blame you

[haughty shale]

my main issue is just that whiff punishing feels too hard now for me

before you could whiff punish with jab

but its too slow now unless you get a read

[civic cloud]

sometimes that’s not even enough bruh they can dodge into your jab and throw out a move before it comes out

even if you threw it out as soon as you could

[haughty shale]

yeah

i like the changes but jab just feels too underwhelming now

but i guess rick has kill confirms with jab so they probably wont buff it again

[civic cloud]

yeah ig there’s that

[haughty shale]

im gonna try to get good with the new stuff that people are trying

idk i guess im just too used to going for jab

[civic cloud]

against a decent amount of the cast what else are you supposed to go for

[bold jungle]

Rick jab hurts bro

Ughhhh

Im literally just jet sking into people now

Instead of jabbing

[white stag]

Use Neutral Attack

[civic cloud]

you mean the attack that needs to be charged and that several of the cast can just get through? Finn side b, jason dash attack, jason armor, tom and jerry racket, black adam down special, steven as a character, ww side special, agent smith down special, lebron, marvin, jake, stripe, jack neutral special

oh garnet too

[white stag]

Use it as bait.

Then hit any aerial.

[civic cloud]

Hmm mk

[indigo otter]

Rick feels so bad Q_Q

best I can do is 48 damage in a combo (54 if giant Rick)

and isn't even consistent, because the portal places people behind Rick and I can't hit them with Whip

more often than not

while the night before the patch I found a 97 damage combo (it's 94 in the video, but I got to 97 later)
https://youtu.be/sP8YkdC0IW0

[indigo otter]

I found an 0tD without airwalker... it might be DIable, but if you time it correctly you can get it
https://youtu.be/RUZ7r888vNM

[dark jetty]

Ive js been using jet skis then fair then jab for combos

[bitter blade]

https://x.com/ytnibi/status/1827625500002373829?s=46

[vague robin]

lowkey

they need a bigger dev team

[celest wren]

Not even a 0 to death u can dodge it

[celest wren]

He is bad now

[celest wren]

Yah this guys not the best at Rick he doesn’t know what he’s talking about

[celest wren]

Bro thinks every opponent you’ll play is in gold 😭🙏🏾

[white stag]

You don't have to be the best to be good. Do the community a favor and don't be overly toxic to people who try to at least be helpful, even when they're not professionals.

[bold jungle]

Nah ricks jab 1 nerf was dumb

Nerf the hitbox but not the damn speed

It feels so bad to use now

[bitter blade]

You gotta commit to using jab now

[bold jungle]

I just jet ski spam and when my opponent gets hit i just get in his face and pray jab 1 hits

Also wtf happened to rocket

That crap is not consistsnt anymore

Ricks jab either comes out too late or rocket doesnt hit

Its so annoying

I kinda starting to perfer old rick

[white stag]

Yeah, the Rocket nerf was a bit much

[bold jungle]

Now i have to time jab 1 and charge rocket while doing a combo???

Do they want rick to be a jet ski spammer???

Cause their nerfing all of his basic attacks

[white stag]

Or you could use Side Air.

But they might have over-nerfed Jab.

[bold jungle]

Side air is alot harder to pull off

[indigo otter]

they also nerfed Side Air, so it usually doesn't become a combo either

[white stag]

AIDS!!!

[celest wren]

Yah and it has more end lag than garnets jab

[celest wren]

Bro u always had to commit to it what are u yapping about

[bitter blade]

I said one word and it’s yapping?

Plus it’s committing beacuse now if you miss you get absolutely punished

[celest wren]

Which is completely stupid when his jab now is slow and got a range nerf

[indigo otter]

what bothers me the most about the new jab is that it comes out so late that you can't connect it into anything in a combo

the whole fun of playing Rick was having crazy fun combos

and now he's a spammer setup character

with the longest cooldown in the game, for a skill that is super inconsistent

[celest wren]

Rick jsut loses now against more than half the cast

Bc of how slow his jab is

[dark jetty]

Idk why they didnt do that

Ive stopped using jab other then for punishes but even thats already difficult to do

It made him worse in 1s ngl

[indigo otter]

it sucks because it took so long to master Rick, he has such a complex kit... and now we're forced to learn a "whole new character" with a whole new gamestyle... it just doesn't fit me... I hate playing setups

[trail pond]

yeah just make its range lower it didnt need the startup and speed nerfs

[dark jetty]

If they ever touch him they should nerf the hitbox but make the speed

As it was

Or make the speed faster

Its like if u use the jab and u miss ur forever gonna get punished

[runic bluff]

Just gonna leave this here for people who think Rick doesn't have any cool combos post jab nerf

He's a lot harder to fully utilize now. Jab is more of a combo extender or hard whiff punish.

IAD - Instant Air Dash flying meseeks is a burst option that leads to massive combos and kill confirms.
Main way to link jab is to get good with positioning his lasers then dodge jabbing to catch them after.

He's more zoning focused with big punish windows when a stray hit lands. They buffed his full charge laser interactions and the hp on meseeks

Trust in Rick 🙏🏽

[indigo otter]

jab is definitely not a combo extender... maybe it works for 1 combo or so, but it doesn't work most of the times

[indigo otter]

"massive combos"... you're stretching

and mostly dependent on airwalker on those combos

[dark jetty]

Ill still be on rick
