Real

sharp plaza
dusty nova
#

Ion know about the current patch bugs tho

sharp plaza
#

It was a good matchup for TnJ, now that Morty doesn't have weakened is just free

dusty nova
#

I just checked bugs got nothin

#

In this patch

subtle lotus
#

T&J dont win an single character

#

Now

#

Hes just f tier

#

Don't use him

dusty nova
#

I can't help it he's my boi

#

I need a mvs pfp of tom sitting on the train tracks all depressed

sharp plaza
#

Good joke man

subtle lotus
#

It seems like you didn't used him

dusty nova
subtle lotus
#

He doesn't won IG

#

In any sense

#

Your not facing an good ig

#

Maybe we could win velma

#

And thats it

dusty nova
#

Good iorn giants are still cooked I'm aware

subtle lotus
#

Ain't no way your saying that

#

Your atleast gold for saying that comment

dusty nova

#

Good iorn giants can just pull outn Random super armor and kill younear blast zone at 0

sharp plaza
#

Play Jake then TnJ, you are going to stop downplaying your char

subtle lotus
#

Also they can negate the projectiles with up b spams

sharp plaza
#

Up b and that's it

dusty nova
#

Bro thought I Siad iorn gian was bad

subtle lotus
#

But they got to be at the same tier

subtle lotus
#

Ain't no way

#

Burst combos

dusty nova
sharp plaza
#

Downplaying TnJ that hard shouldn't be legal bro

subtle lotus
#

He can kill you into 70 percent or less

dusty nova
#

It's no fun

subtle lotus
dusty nova
#

I'm aware dog he's fat

#

Gatta get him over 200 to kill

sharp plaza
#

Like I agree TnJ is not top tier or high tier anymore but he's not the worst in the game, he has the best projectile in the game and that actually helps him way more than Jake having absolutly nothing

subtle lotus
#

If he just kills jerry

sharp plaza
subtle lotus
#

He lit becames the worst character

#

Theres no way an character would lose to T&J if they kill Jerry

#

The character its just gone

#

Atleast i got into masters 2

#

And top 20 T&J

#

Il wait till this character its fairly balanced

#

They can't kill him

#

Like they just did

sharp plaza
subtle lotus
#

An character with the worst disadvantage can't be that good

#

Its simple

#

Its universal for every fighting game

#

Also bc he's so light his disadvantage it's even worst

dusty nova
#

Got a funny tnj clip earlier #clips

subtle lotus
#

But well atleast you got the kill

#

T&J its just the result of people complains on an non understand character

#

Nobody khew how to counter him

#

Nobody khew how to counter their combos

dusty nova
subtle lotus
#

And now that the character its finally dead

#

They are satisfy

#

And now we got to take the piss

#

Bc of the horrendous casual player base on this game

dusty nova
#

I knew there was yapping about tnj but I never thought they'd remove the jump cancel

raven onyx
raven onyx
subtle lotus
#

And they cant balance the character without killing him

#

They lit just remove everything from him

#

And thought we would be happy

raven onyx
#

Didnt they give a slap on the wrist for the Top Tiers

subtle lotus
#

Besides that everyone its super happy and saying they are really satisfied with all of this changes

#

Khowing that they buffed some top tiers and good characters also did minimum changes for the top 5's keeping them atleast at s tier

subtle lotus
#

They are atleast s tier

dusty nova
subtle lotus
#

Meanwhile T&J an B tier was nerfed again for having an feature that a lot of characters had

dusty nova
#

Yeah

subtle lotus
#

Also agent smith received no changes

dusty nova
#

Ion think we loose to nebula

subtle lotus
#

Like seriously

subtle lotus
#

He feels horrific

dusty nova
#

Yesss

#

From what i hear she's slower then bylith in smash

#

Witch is a statement to be heard

trim zealot
# subtle lotus Nubia?

She reminds me of Marth. I’ve been labbing with her and she’s got some solid stuff. Mainly jab > neutral special > up angle side special > Nair or up air.

#

She can start a variation of of side b too.

#

Or just start it with neutral special.

subtle lotus
#

She feels so wacky and slow

trim zealot
#

I think that’s to balance out the disjoint on some of her moves.

#

I’m tempted to unlock her. I like the tipper perk.

#

It’s crazy she costs less gleamium than an epic skin.

#

But everything costs too much.

dusty nova
#

Taz players don't even combo no more it's just spin taz

hollow flax
#

Cause spin OP

trim zealot
#

I’ve found the best option against Taz side special is Jerry shot. Since Jerry only gets hit once, he doesn’t die, and knocks Taz out of his special.

#

Follow up with a tennis ball into side air or up air for extra damage.

hollow flax
#

Yeah without Jerry I just use rocket or drop dynamite

dusty nova
#

The agent smith air jabing me one time and killing Me middle stage after combo him into the blast zone and jerry rocket him at 120
and he doesn't die

#

Ah yes

#

Perfectly Balanced as all things should be

trim zealot
#

Agent smith is pretty overtuned right now.

cerulean cliff
#

I never minded him

#

Obvs the MU is worse because lol balancing

subtle lotus
#

Now we are like banana guard on season 1

#

After inf complains

#

It waesnt banana guard fault

#

People were horrendous fighting him

#

And thats the reason why e are gutted

dusty nova
#

Hot take aria still stupid

#

undogable air walker combo 3 Times from low percent ooo boi

#

Skilled character

#

Why they nerfing tom Bruh this is bs

cerulean cliff
#

In#clips is legit how I think you play this character now, it's lame but it's all we got

open crypt
#

Also generally the taz combos goes more for read punish and tech chase

subtle lotus
#

Then everyone complained about T&J and let the others get the same stuff

#

While we got nothing

#

šŸ˜•

#

T&J its an dead characted

#

Go main smth else

#

Also the game speed ain't good for the recent changes

#

Also the changes were horrible and unbalanced

#

Giving jab an really high punish window

raven onyx
#

I want to actually talk to devs why do they do this

subtle lotus
#

On an slow motion platform figther it's the worst decision wver

#

Ever

#

The game feels lame

trim zealot
# subtle lotus Go main smth else

I’m going that route myself soon. Tomorrow, when Nubia is unlockable for fighter currency, I’m probably going to start using her until they buff T&J again.

subtle lotus
raven onyx
subtle lotus
#

They are doing the worst things ever to an fighting games

trim zealot
#

Still not justified though.

subtle lotus
#

The character got nothing

#

Also is not an loop

raven onyx
#

I want to smash my head against a wall bc of this stupid decisions

subtle lotus
#

Lit Stripe, Agent Smith, Reindog, Superman can do the exact same thing like T&J

#

They just hate T&J there's no reason on removing his only combo and kill confirm in gake

#

Game

#

Also paddle last hit its horrendous if you are like about of 100% you can di to avoid up air and side air

trim zealot
# subtle lotus Also is not an loop

I know. I think people were just fed up with loops from previous patches, and when they found out we could catch their predictable tech rolls, they cried for more nerfs.

subtle lotus
#

So you got to kill at 180 percent with down tilt

subtle lotus
subtle lotus
#

And lame character

#

Lit our only options to kill are at 150 and 180

trim zealot
subtle lotus
#

People said betlejuice was d tier bc of his lack of kill power

#

T&J never had kill power

subtle lotus
#

And even after the recent patch

#

They are still complaining and saying that we are s tier

open crypt
subtle lotus
#

This community its an joke

#

This is what happens when you listen to your casual community, balancing an game

trim zealot
subtle lotus
#

Got experienced players and experienced devs

#

That are atleast top 100 on an fighting game

#

They khow how the games in general works

#

And they can identify what is skill issue or if it is an character issue

#

That's the reason why this game its so trash

#

Go play rivals 2

#

And thats all

raven onyx
trim zealot
#

If anyone here has played rivals 2, how is it? I’ve played 1.

subtle lotus
#

Or in consoles in general

open crypt
subtle lotus
#

Like in 23 October

hollow flax
#

Now the TJs know how the lebron mains feel. Sadge

#

or even the Jake mains and the Velma mains or whatever

#

eventually the whole cast gonna be neglected and then deleted when they shut it down

trim cave
#

Is it me or is tnj nerfed or something, the input feels delayed for me

#

Ive been noticing that since i have played tnj for quite some time even in beta when i first got him

#

My hammer isnt consistant so ik somethings up

open crypt
#

maaaaaybe a bit jake
but he can still do some stuff

#

but lebron?
never
he just got some slaps in the hand, while tnj were executed

sharp plaza

#

People here like to exaggerate they nerfed TnJ when he was high tier (even hardcorefox being the best Tom and Jerry said he was mid high tier) but they all said "They nerfed him when he was bottom 5" lmao

open crypt
#

i mean the first nerfed

#

even tho it put him a bit down

#

he was still able

#

now without jerry and the jumps

#

he doesn't have any combo game

subtle lotus
#

Maybe he could be high b tier

#

If you camp and zone

Maybe in 2s. In 1s T&J have been gutted. Also, why do you think more people saying we’ve been nerfed too much means we haven’t? I’ve never downplayed how good T&J is in my entire time playing this game. These last 2 patches are the only times I’ve ever considered T&J to be below A tier. It’s one thing to remove loops, it’s another to remove most of a characters true combos.

#

Imagine if Arya lost the ability to ladder combo at all. She would immediately drop from A-S tier to probably C tier, since most of her combos are ladders.

#

Or Batman losing the ability to cancel jab. Nerfs like these would only remove combos. Mind you, T&J only got a single buff, to racket, across the course of these last 3 or 4 patches.

#

As soon as Nubia is available for fighter currency, I’m going to stop playing T&J for the first time ever. Until they get buffed, me and many others will or have stopped playing Tom.

raven onyx
trim zealot
#

This patch was very questionable.

raven onyx
hollow flax
hollow flax
#

From transition from beta to release Lebron went from a strong high tier to a bottom tier similar to TJ here

trim cave
#

Ok so it qas input dely lag or something cuz its normal now

trim cave

Was*

scenic mica
#

After the onslaught of nerfs to tnj I picked up Rick and he's pretty fun

#

Though I do kinda want to go back to Tom and Jerry I loved playing them so much and want to give them a chance again despite not being as good

subtle lotus
#

Just dont use him

#

Even camping is not good

#

Just wait till they change the character or make an rework

scenic mica
#

Really? I saw a cool kill confirm on 70 that didn't seem impossible iad Jerry shot into iad up special jump air dodge up air

#

I'm sure getting that 70 isn't the most fun though

subtle lotus
#

Its lit impossible to perform on an normal game

#

Maybe racket if you play passive

#

And wait them to approach

#

Then racket into up special

#

But even with that he ain't that good

dusty nova
coarse drift
#

Tom and Jerry d tier is ridiculous

#

Jerry shot by itself will not let them be that low

I don’t play 1s but there’s no way it’s that bad

odd wadi
vapid dew
#

I think of Tom and Jerry as a character that resembles finding some infinite combo, but they can still use specials, which makes them somewhat overpowered.

hollow flax
lost violet
#

They barely have a combo now

coarse drift
#

Air downwards Jerry shot into up tilt sair is still a good combo they have

This character more so relies on being as obnoxious with Jerry as possible
And beating people over the head with Dair,up tilt and racket and some occasional zoning to stall for Jerry to come back when the cooldowns almost up

hollow flax
#

Like paddle into up special rocket was so good

coarse drift
#

I’m a little too used to fighting without him cause I’m always going for snipes

But he’s actually still not that bad without him but your still losing your best move so it sorta sucks

coarse drift
hollow flax
#

It’s not always reliable though is the thing

coarse drift
#

It’s just one of the many ways this character kills

You gotta get real creative and Jerry’s will have to be sacrificed for an opponents stock

I personally find it fun to come up with different ways to kill based on how my opponents is playing to take their stock

sturdy yarrow
#

Anyone else having horrendous input lag ?

hollow flax

#

Game is dogwater

dusty nova
#

On this patch at least

trim zealot

#

This is the only time PFG have convinced me to move off T&J ever. I’ve moved to playing Nubia until T&J get any more buffs, but any nerfs/buffs T&J do get, I will lab out still.

dusty nova
#

From balanced to bad

cyan whale
#

Man I just hit the absolutely insane bait on a Batman where I reflected his batbomb batterang and baited him into killing himself off the top

#

But my capture software didn’t work

trim zealot
#

Most don’t know how to react.

cyan whale
#

He got hit and decided to chase me into the top blast zone and died for it lol

trim zealot
#

Smartest Batman main.

cyan whale
#

God that would’ve been such a good clip to have

coarse drift
#

Alright I gotta go really test out Tom and Jerry in 2s tomorrow because this input lag feels like it comes and goes for some reason

#

What tier would yall put this character in

dusty nova
#

In 2s he's higher but I think he's a d teir in one's

coarse drift
#

I gotta stop being lazy and go play ones

#

I need to see for myself

hollow flax
coarse drift
#

In other words they should totally give back the jump cancel we won’t do anything nefarious with it

hollow flax
#

Yeah that’s why I put him mid tier. The mu’s, good and bad, kinda even out

cyan whale
#

I personally don’t play 2v2 often because I don’t have a dedicated partner

#

So I can’t really comment on that

hollow flax
cyan whale
#

But he feels somewhere around upper mid tier in 1v1 to me

cyan whale
#

They didn’t used to be

#

So like I get where the sentiment is coming from

hollow flax
#

Does it cover various ranks in ranked mode?

cyan whale
#

No, it’s just general ranked 1v1 and 2v2 win rate

hollow flax
#

Ok then

cyan whale
#

So like obviously there is likely a difference between playing T&J in gold vs master

hollow flax
#

I mean most players are lower ranked so I don’t think it matters that much

cyan whale
#

I’ve been playing T&J more as I promised I would and while there are certain things about him that are bad, I don’t think he’s a bad character

#

He just has a handful of matchups that hard counter him

hollow flax
#

Yeah I don’t think he is particularly bad he just isn’t great

cyan whale
#

Like Finn just wins because of his side special

#

The Garnet buffs have also made that matchup way more difficult than I thought it should be

#

With projectile shield on her person at 3 stacks of rhythm and the fact that rhythm in general is just a full projectile shield

#

And the buff to clap just kills at ludicrously low percents especially considering T&J’s weight

#

But outside of like Finn, Garnet, Morty, and the usual cast of top tiers, T&J does fine against the rest of the cast

hollow flax
#

Oh yes with exception to half the cast he is good coffee_Jake velmaglasses

subtle lotus
#

Every character got his own way to deal with T&J

#

His not an problem anymore

#

Every character got an way to one shot jerry

cyan whale

New loop found boys

Isn’t affected by tech

Or they gon nerf em

hollow flax
#

Then I don’t believe you lol

cyan whale
#

I’ve just been going for the mid percent dair nair tech chase with decent success

#

But recently I’ve been torn on whether to use 5% or triple dynamite

#

Because like triple dynamite pretty much guarantees a free recovery

#

But single dynamite has so many other use cases including helping escape juggles

#

And having extra dynamite in general is helpful a lot of times, especially for stalling when Jerry dies

#

But Tom’s recovery is so trash that triple dynamite is still worth it for stopping people from just killing you

raven onyx
cerulean cliff
#

I stopped using it entirely once it was nerfed from beta

#

Also are the Halloween skins out yet

#

I've been rivals pilled all week

cyan whale
#

I liked Rivals 1 better and don’t really have an interest in Rivals 2

cerulean cliff
#

Its cool

#

And I am pondering how Clairen was allowed to exist in a game without shields lmao

cyan whale
#

Because movement

#

Which is the same reason why a character like Finn can exist

coarse drift
#

I’ve been a hater on triple dynamite since full release the nerf makes it kinda bad

cyan whale
#

How was it nerfed?

subtle lotus
cyan whale
#

Wait what? Are you saying IG beats T&J?

subtle lotus
#

IG its an cheese machine theres no way an IG lose to an T&J

subtle lotus
#

Up b negates every projectile

cyan whale
#

No he does not lmao

subtle lotus
#

He can one shot jerry really easy

#

Also burst combos into an early kill at 40

cyan whale
#

IG uses up special and you just hit him with dair

subtle lotus
#

That makes no sense

#

Its an active hitbox

#

Dont be silly

#

I fought the top 1 IG

#

Lonely dripp

cyan whale
#

You can literally hit his hand

subtle lotus
#

Theres no way you win against an good IG

subtle lotus
#

His holding his car

cyan whale
subtle lotus
#

You dont have the character atleast at diamond

#

I'm at masters 1 with him

#

And i play always against some top players

#

Ik my character

#

He dont win

cyan whale
#

Yeah because I haven’t played him this season as much as you

subtle lotus
#

You need to fight against an good ig

#

That's all

#

You need experience to talk about it

#

If you didn't play the game enough

#

That's on you

cyan whale
#

Alright next time I run into Elektrokills or Hobo or Lonely Dripp I’ll let you know

subtle lotus
#

Ok

#

You will get 3-0

#

Atleast i left him on the last stock

#

Its an really hard mu

#

You die at 30

#

And can't use jerry shot

#

Or any projectile bc of the perk

#

And up b

#

Also can go against up b

#

Got priority and wins bc got better frame data

cyan whale
#

Literally every IG player has said that T&J is a bad matchup but what do they know

cerulean cliff
# cyan whale How was it nerfed?

In beta, triple bounced along the ground the same way default dynamite does. Now the range is shorter and it fails if you dont racket it after spawn

subtle lotus
cyan whale
#

I think you’re overrating how much the nerfs affected T&J

subtle lotus
cyan whale
#

Like don’t get me wrong, they definitely hurt

subtle lotus
#

The character has no combos now

cerulean cliff
#

Not to mention now they can be reflected when they couldnt before

cyan whale
#

But you’re acting like T&J is low tier now and he’s just not

subtle lotus
#

Atleast on 1s

cyan whale
cerulean cliff
#

Thats how long ago it was lol

subtle lotus
#

The character ain't crazy or good

cyan whale
subtle lotus
#

How an character

#

With no combos

#

And no kill power

cyan whale
#

The only low tiers are Jake and Velma

subtle lotus
#

Could be mid tier?

cerulean cliff
#

TnJ today in 1s is playable but not solo viable

subtle lotus
#

Ain't that bad

#

And he got his combos

cerulean cliff
#

Velma I'm convinced still isnt a character

subtle lotus
#

And some robbery

cyan whale
subtle lotus
#

Velma yeah it's better

cyan whale
#

Jake has even less kill power

subtle lotus
#

You can di

#

Also you can di paddle into side air

#

He got lit no combos

#

Your only way to kill its if your at 150 or 180

cyan whale
subtle lotus
#

Depending on the character

cyan whale
#

Jake’s only kill move is uair

subtle lotus
#

Up tilt

#

Kills at 100

cyan whale
#

Only kills with sweetspot

subtle lotus
#

Atleast he can cheese

cyan whale
#

Sair doesn’t even kill at 150

subtle lotus
#

We kill at 150 or 180

cyan whale
#

Bite got nerfed and doesn’t either

#

Dair basically never kills and got destroyed because auto tech

subtle lotus
cyan whale
#

Horse doesn’t kill until like 170

subtle lotus
#

Jake is at an bad state tho

#

T&J with those characters are low tiers

#

T&J needs an rework

cyan whale
#

T&J just needs some consistency fixes

#

Like his jab being really inconsistent

subtle lotus
#

And kill power

#

And thats all

cyan whale
#

He kinda doesn’t need combos ngl

subtle lotus
#

Also giving him an better disadvantage

subtle lotus
cyan whale
#

Like his custom projectile 2-3 hit combos end up dealing like 30-40 and flammable always gives him extra damage

subtle lotus
#

Its like saying rick don't need combos bc its an zoner

cyan whale
#

Rick is barely a zoner

#

He has laser and half the cast can stand under it

subtle lotus
#

You really need to be good with projectile usage

#

With no combos and kill confirms

#

That's lit the only way to use him

#

Hes lame

cyan whale
#

T&J has some kill confirms but they’re just really inconsistent

subtle lotus
#

His disadvantage and weight make him even worse

cyan whale
#

Which is the issue

#

Like jab 1,2,3 -> dtilt

subtle lotus
cyan whale
#

Sometimes it just completely whiffs and it shouldn’t

subtle lotus
#

Also kills at 180

subtle lotus
cyan whale
#

No it kills at like 130-140

subtle lotus
#

That kills at 180

cyan whale
#

And this is what I mean by buff jab consistency

subtle lotus
#

Alr test it

#

Jab 3 into jerry shot

cyan whale
subtle lotus
#

Could be an good change

subtle lotus
#

Or your opponent di'ed wrong

#

If you just di upwards it kills at 180

#

Or 150

cyan whale
#

You’re only gonna live to 180 if you’re hitting it across the entire stage

#

DI up can kill you earlier actually

cyan whale
#

And you’ll die off the top

subtle lotus
#

Like at 140

#

And thats still horrible

#

The character its lame and trash

#

Our combos are trasy

#

Trash

cyan whale
#

There’s only like 3 major changes that T&J needs to be good

subtle lotus
#

Our only good tool its jerry shot

#

But all characters got an way to one shot him

subtle lotus
#

Also an speed buff

sharp plaza
#

Gogeta always downplaying his character lol

cyan whale
#
  1. Jab needs to be more consistent and not as easy to DI out of
  2. The final hit of paddle needs to have less knockback and more hitstun allowing for more reliable follow ups
  3. Dair needs to have an earlier cancel window
  4. Sair needs to be faster on startup
#

So I guess 4 things but still

subtle lotus
#

If you dont play the character

#

Dont talk

cyan whale
#

With those changes, T&J is high tier

sharp plaza
subtle lotus
#

Bro he cant be high tier with his disadvantage state

subtle lotus
#

So that's why i say it

sharp plaza
subtle lotus
#

Killing at 40

#

And negating projectiles

#

So its lit an good mu for you?

cyan whale
subtle lotus
#

Also comboing the burst

#

To get early kills

subtle lotus
#

With T&J

sharp plaza
#

I won against lonely and mets and I can say that IG have a bad matchup against anyone who can camp and has a really good projectile

And TnJ has the best projectile in all the game lol

subtle lotus
#

And check ig by yoursekf

sharp plaza
#

You just got skill diff bruh

cyan whale
#

I will when I eventually run into one

subtle lotus
#

You cant lit up b

#

That negates every projectile

#

Also using the shield perk

subtle lotus
sharp plaza
#

You don't need to camp all day and he can't just up b everytime since it's punishable while it ends

subtle lotus
#

And having an true kill confirm with burst

sharp plaza
#

I know about IG more than you lil bro, I actually won against lonely multiple times and against mets with my main nerfed lol

subtle lotus
#

He can just jab and up b

#

And im dead

sharp plaza
#

I also play IG

subtle lotus
#

Ok

#

So your an masters 1 or gm IG?

sharp plaza
#

But you don't want to accept that TnJ has good matchups since you don't win anything

subtle lotus
#

3-0

#

Consecutively

sharp plaza
#

I'm pretty sure at this point your mind downplays so much that you don't even find anything good from TnJ

subtle lotus
#

Hes good with the correct counterplay

#

You can just abuse the light weight

sharp plaza
#

Ok tell me a good matchup TnJ has

subtle lotus
#

Also down special into nair

subtle lotus
#

Jason

#

Morty

#

Rick

#

Reindog

#

Marvin

#

Samurai Jack

#

Also i feel Ppg

#

Its an good one

#

Always win against PPG

#

And thats all

hollow flax

Maybe an good lebron could win easily

#

He got his robbery

subtle lotus
#

Jerry

#

Or approach tom

#

His at disadvantage and he got no more options than to chase jerry to get him back

#

Tom is running to the direction your rushing

#

So you could get an full punish if he dont dodge

#

And if he does you can read and punish him

#

Also if he dont want to pick jerry back

#

You can one shot jerry

hollow flax
#

They don’t like paddle cause it anti air, multihit, long ass active hitbox, they be Sitting in hitstun for a bit after getting hit

lost violet
#

Back from part of the Multiversus training grounds thing

#

They added shielding. Strong maybe on whether or not it actually helps Tom and Jerry

cyan whale
#

I haven’t tried it, but it probably hurts T&J considering he has no grabs and only one armor break

coarse drift
#

Shielding hurts Tom and Jerry a lot since a lot of strong options are from the air

Unless a sequence is found to drain so much shield you would rather get hit

cerulean cliff
#

Oh is it in the game now

#

Yeah that's a net nerf to TnJ

raven onyx
#

Now

cerulean cliff
#

Also love how the video shows a paddle punish into Jerry Nikita like that means anything

raven onyx
#

Is that gonna be a pity buff or summat

cerulean cliff
#

No its the only "combo" he has left

raven onyx
cerulean cliff
#

Matter of fact if paddle is shielded, Tom probably dies

raven onyx
#

No he explodes

cerulean cliff
#

Wait you can manually parry out of shield

#

That's actually really stupid

#

Zoners really cant play the game anymore lmao

raven onyx
cerulean cliff
#

This is such toxic design

#

And I don't mean just cuz it nerfs TnJ

#

Sheilds this strong in a game without grabbing is so bad

raven onyx
#

Now its Shieldversus

cerulean cliff
#

Dash jab out of shield means spacing literally does not matter

fathom wadi
#

Oh my god they added SHEILDS

#

THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS GAME WAS THAT THEY DIDNT HAVE THOSE

hollow flax
sturdy yarrow
#

Yeah with the addition of shields Tom is completely cooked

#

Batman and Shaggy spamming invincible uppercuts out of shield

cyan whale
#

I main Shaggy and I think shields are probably a bad idea

#

The whole idea of using movement to avoid attacks is completely lost with shields

#

And it will absolutely destroy zoners like T&J and Marvin

hollow flax
#

Yeah I mean if zoners could apply good shield pressure it’d probably be fine, but here it seems that there is no thing as shield pressure

#

There isn’t even an visual indicator for to know if your hitting their shield velmaglasses

subtle lotus
#

If they add the shield

#

Atleast revert the paddle changes

#

And add smth like an grab for T&J bc there's no way to get someone out of shield with this character

#

Lit if they add shielding to the game

#

And they don't revert T&J changes on paddle

#

He will be negative f tier

hollow flax
#

Nah

#

Trust me

#

I’m a dev

#

I know what I am doing

#

I think

subtle lotus
#

Your an dev?

#

Wut

#

Just revert the paddle changes and thats all

#

He won't be that good bc of shielding

#

But yeah

#

If they add an command grab on T&J and put it as an perk

#

@hollow flax

hollow flax
#

Well specifically the loop

#

But still

subtle lotus
#

He didnt got an loop

#

Since he was nerf with tech bounce

#

They need to bring it back

#

Paddle into jerry shot

#

If they will implement shielding

#

Paddle would be useless

#

Also you can block paddle on whiff and punish, it's lit like 20 frames to punish

hollow flax
#

You can still do it with a read

subtle lotus
#

And jerry shot its shieldable

hollow flax
#

Just more scuffed

subtle lotus
#

Paddle its useless

#

Is not fair

#

Just bring back paddle into jump jerry shot

#

And jump racket

#

Also can't cancel paddle on whiff

#

That's all

hollow flax
#

Join the ever growing low tier club buddy

#

Or mid tier or whatever

subtle lotus
#

Bro

#

The character won't be good if they do those changes

#

But atleast he won't be useless

#

With shielding T&J would be useless

hollow flax
#

You dont control the game. You don’t have the power.

#

You can’t influence the almighty devs

subtle lotus
#

I do

#

I'm masters 1

subtle lotus
#

But it lasted 3 secs

#

People started complaining

#

And they nerf him again

#

Its impossible to complain about him right noa

hollow flax
#

Then it seems you don’t have the power.

subtle lotus
#

Now

#

He needs to get back his paddle combos

hollow flax
#

If you had the power of the shaggy mains you’d be top tier forever

subtle lotus
#

And thats all

subtle lotus
#

Remember you can punish paddle and jerry shot

#

Any T&J movd

#

Also remember his horrible disadvantage state

#

And weight

#

If they don't bring back paddle combos he would be f tier

#

Atleast you could get an convertion of paddle

#

If you hit it

#

As an punish fakeout

cyan whale
#

I still don’t understand why you want to bring back paddle loops to compensate for T&J’s flaws when they can just mitigate his flaws more by other means

#

They can make him heavier, make his jump higher, increase the knockback on his kill moves, and make the last hit of paddle consistently combo without introducing loops

hollow flax
cyan whale
#

There are other ways to make T&J good without making him toxic

lost violet
#

Like taking away his combo game. That did wonders

cyan whale
#

They have the ability to make paddle a consistent combo tool without introducing loops

#

But PFG just didn’t do that so idk

slender matrix
#

I like how the TnJ can be good and fun without combos

keen swan
#

PFG probably meant T&J to be the traditional projectile character (mage)

hidden verge
#

But no true ones

cyan whale
# hidden verge But no true ones

He has some shorter true combos like paddle to uair at low percents, Jerry shot to Jerry racket to uair with the right Jerry angle, dair to nair tech chase at mid and high percents, and cheese trap to any aerial if you’re close enough

#

Grounded racket can also combo into paddle because it forces a ground bounce

hollow flax
#

None of those are that good

cyan whale
#

I never said they were

#

I just said that they’re true

#

They’re all pretty situational unfortunately

#

Actually, the dair nair tech chase is actually legitimately really good

#

I’ve literally gotten 60 to death combos from dair nair tech chase over and over again and ending with uair

#

But it’s definitely way more difficult than the old paddle Jerry shot tech chase

raven onyx
#

Please PFG give us a Buff plz

cerulean cliff
#

If anyone is playing the shields testing ground lemme know how it goes

#

I have little faith

cyan whale
cerulean cliff
#

They're trying the mode today

#

If permanent then the game itself suffers so much

raven onyx
cyan whale
#

I personally am against shields

#

We don’t need to copy Smash for everything and slowly become more of a Smash clone

#

We just need some fine tuning to a lot of characters to make them feel better to play

#

Doesn’t necessarily have to be buffs

#

Just QoL changes and consistency improvements

#

Nerf overall kill power so that it doesn’t feel like you’re just getting cheesed

#

Killing really early should be exclusive to specifically designed comeback mechanics or specific characters as their archetype

#

Like Jason

#

Or any character’s rage mechanic like also Jason, Shaggy, Jack, IG, etc

#

But like the comeback mechanic shouldn’t be something that kills so early that it feels unfair

#

And weaken absolutely needs a nerf

#

It doesn’t feel good to get hit by Batman who applies weaken really easily and then you die to jab at 80

#

Or Shaggy who does the same thing with rage specials

dawn iris
#

Tom's skin on the future rift event page is a Batman one... right?

cerulean cliff
#

I assume its for Halloween because that's a rift too

raven onyx
#

Im torn rn i want the Bugs skin or the TnJ skin

dawn iris
#

I'm just hoping I can just grind out enough for the TnJ without having to do the rift since i'm far behind due to the hurricane stuff

fathom wadi
#

Who's ready for TnJ to get nerfed again

sturdy yarrow
#

Nothing for TnJ characters cooked his shield breaker is his worst attack

cerulean cliff
#

How's it lookin fellas

trim zealot
#

Are they really going to add shields? I don’t think that’s a good idea given that here’s no grabs other than command grabs, and you can only break shields by expending an opponent’s dodge meter.

#

It seems like it’ll be a really broken option to me.

#

I don’t mind it in smash and rivals of aether because shields have their own durability, everyone has grabs, and the games were designed with the mechanic in mind.

raven onyx
trim zealot
#

Good.

#

I don’t think it’s a good idea, given this game has gone up til now with just dodges and parries.

#

They would have to change a bunch of moves to balance the addition of shields, and even then it’ll be really strong.

trim cave
#

The mechanic of shields will ruin the game cuz everything was based around dodges instead of blocking and characters like jason are the only ones to counter this shielding effect compared to super smash bros since every character there has a shield and grab mechanic + this literally has the least punishment since players can go defensive or run away to avoid burn out, in general its a dumb mechanic to have unless u add grabbing mechanics to every character

#

I just dont see it as a good viable option to add in, dodges and parries were good already but shields?

#

Nope, last thing we want is iron giant being absolutely busted or worse

raven onyx
trim cave
#

Yeah and im hoping that it doesnt

raven onyx
trim cave
#

It hurts almost every character thats mage (except for a few)

raven onyx
trim cave
#

And it turns tanks into busted goofy ah characters that land combos more than assassins could ever do

#

And just to note, super man freeze breath while it freezes projectiles it cant freeze jerry so its a no brainer to shoot jerry to super man

#

And iron giant has a large hit box and those guys have insane combos that their only weakness is a simple ranged attack

trim zealot

While sure its does release a more heavy combo dopamine, its too bland to play most of the time

trim zealot
trim cave
#

Thats true and i dont understand how either

#

Especially with the crossovers

#

Since for that crap to even happen is 2 sided deal

#

U know how many companies this had to be delt with

#

Ubisoft, nickelodeon, microsoft, etc

trim zealot
#

I’m sure those licenses don’t come cheap either.

trim cave
#

Exactly

#

Even rayman too since hes a playable character

#

Multiversus had a shot and got in, its their job to keep it strong enough for the community and listen to them

#

If not then it dies

#

We dont talk about nickelodeon brawl stars

trim zealot
#

MVS will probably lose some steam since Rivals just launched, sadly. I don’t think it’s too late to save the game though.

trim cave
#

Tnj is one of my favorites even during beta and i grown to learn the character and mastered it enough to bend out of it but if u do 2v2 with him you are bound to have jerry at the brink of death almost always due to your team mate not grabbing jerry

#

Especially with long range stuff that u use a cork for self defense

raven onyx
trim cave
#

1v1's tnj are very good at

#

U have 5 different projectiles that can be used for almost any situation

raven onyx
trim cave
#

List em

#

I bet almost all of them are passable

#

Gizmo is a hard counter tho

#

But thats mostly what i think can beat tnj comming from experience with at least around 600 wins

#

Other than that theres some mechanic that one can do unless u tactically get out of the terrible spot u are in

#

For most characters like shaggy or banana guard are usually in a arc or u can use the fishing rod tactic or if its shaggy u can do the dash attack as its under its hitbox to avoid the damage

raven onyx
#

Bugs with his rocket

#

(Only if if tom doesnt shoot Jerry at the rocket

trim cave
#

Ww isnt too hard, garnet fist is reflectable, fin if u stop spamming jerry every once in a while, marvin projectiles can still be reflected but turned against him depending on how u play, joker is literally easy af if u dont do long distance jerry, iron giant cant deal with the fishing rod, idk who supes is can u unshorten him, and steven is a rather complicated one but this relies more on relying to not use jerry alot more and instead focus on using ur massive racket hitbox or else if hes abusing his funny air nuetral attack

#

Im not joking when i say ww isnt too hard just dont go agressive and use the dynamite shotgun perk when they go for their shield buff

#

Or when they do their anti projectile shield thats where the shotgun comes into play, punishing them

#

While doing it on the ground is a bad idea it isnt the same for the air

subtle lotus
trim cave
#

One dynamite is gonna be over her head

subtle lotus
#

If they add shields

#

T&J would be useless

#

Or only way to counter shields it's by doing fakeouts with paddle

#

And even if we hit it we get no compensations

trim cave
subtle lotus
#

Bc there's no combo with it

subtle lotus
trim cave
#

The only canidate would be the joker

subtle lotus
#

This character will be f tier

#

If they don't make any change to him

#

He needs some adjustments

#

For this update

trim cave
#

Morty doesnt count since hes more balanced on both sides and is rather complicated to put into since i never really got a huge understanding out of him

subtle lotus
#

Mage are in danger

#

In general

#

More T&J than others

#

Bc he got to be the worst of all

#

Bc of his disadvantage state

#

And weight

#

Also with no combos

#

And no kill power

trim cave
#

Yeah mostly tnj, bugs is also out of the question since 2/3 of his projectiles are heavy ones

#

I forgot to mention that

subtle lotus
raven onyx
subtle lotus
#

Its like black adam shield

trim cave
#

Oh u gotta be ****ing with me

subtle lotus
#

Ain't joking

trim cave
subtle lotus
#

They lit showcased it on the testing grounds video

trim cave
#

MULTIVERSUS OPEN THE DAMN DOOR

subtle lotus
#

Any projectile can't hit you while your shielding

#

Or any attack

#

Also if you shield and he fails the attack while your doing it

#

You get an free punish

#

So paddle its useless

#

Also using jerry shot

raven onyx
subtle lotus
#

Bc you have am instant armor breaker

subtle lotus
trim cave
#

Heavy projectiles are armor breakers

subtle lotus
raven onyx
subtle lotus
#

That ain't true

trim cave
#

Armor and heavy projectiles were the shield and grab all along

subtle lotus
#

Also armor breakers

#

Does anything to shields

raven onyx
subtle lotus
#

Like they showcased on the into the verse

trim cave
subtle lotus
#

You need grabs

#

Or fakeouts

trim cave
#

The issue with shields and grabs mainly in ssb is the funny grab abuse

raven onyx
#

If your close

trim cave
#

Take king k rool from ultimate, if he grabs u, u are screwed if u are at 100%

subtle lotus
#

Or any way to deal with shiekds

#

Shields

raven onyx
subtle lotus
#

The character its dead if they implement shielding

#

On normal games

#

And make no changes to T&J

#

Atleast we could have our combos back

raven onyx
#

The mage playerbase is crumbling

subtle lotus
#

To make any dmg if we do the read

trim cave
#

Heres the list of characters that will have from major issue to minimal by enlisting the classes

subtle lotus
trim cave
#

Mages>assasins>brawlers>tanks

#

Tanks are gonna be the breakers here

#

Including iron giant mains

subtle lotus
#

Ig mains

#

Would be really happy

#

With this

trim cave
#

Dude if this gets added multiversus is gonna be whos the better ig

subtle lotus
#

Fr

raven onyx
#

IronVersus

trim cave
#

His only true counter was mages and by removing the one weakness makes him too op

subtle lotus
#

Mage are killed

trim cave
#

They could nerf him but it will never work cuz he can always combo with air

subtle lotus
#

Specifically T&J and Marvin

trim cave
#

U kill the mages, u remove the only important key component to rock paper scissors

subtle lotus
#

Also T&J its even worse

raven onyx
#

Now its gonna be Paper against Rock

subtle lotus
#

Theres a new way to counter even more paddle

#

Without giving compensations to him

#

Or any combo

#

We got 0 combos

#

The worst disadvantage in the game

#

The second lighter character in the game

#

And also 0 kill confirms

#

And kill power

#

This is the definitive bottom tier

#

And they won't do anything

#

Bc they hate T&J

trim cave
raven onyx
#

Like what did we do?

trim cave
#

Yeah

subtle lotus
#

Harcorefox

#

Loops

trim cave
#

I thought that was ricks thing

raven onyx
subtle lotus
#

Every character had an problem with that

#

But now is getting completely remove

trim cave
#

Are we talking about the paddle boat jerry combo?

subtle lotus
#

Like the paddle use in generak

#

So they should revert the changes

#

Theres no projectile or attack that we could uss

#

Use

#

Atleast give paddle the option to combo only into jerry shot jump

#

To get smth like an fakeout on shield

#

With paddle

#

Also give him

trim cave
#

Wait dont tnj mains usually violently move left amd right?

subtle lotus
#

More kill power

#

Bc its useless

raven onyx
#

I hope we get buffed next patch otherwise im playing Bugs until this game shuts down

subtle lotus
#

But if you just dodge after shielding

#

You can get the free punish

trim cave
subtle lotus
#

Bc he's on whiff

#

Paddle its the move with the longest frames on whiff

trim cave
#

all i was doing was the intro gag

subtle lotus
#

If an character just shields paddle

#

You have like 7 seconds to counter it

#

The benefit on paddle was having it as an combo tool

#

And now it's basically useless

#

And now even more with the shield being add in the game

#

And we have no combos

#

No kill confirms

#

No kill power

#

And no projectiles

raven onyx
subtle lotus
trim cave
subtle lotus
#

Grounded up special

#

Don't combo into anything

#

You can just di

#

He cant kill you

raven onyx
#

They ripped out the jump branch aswell

subtle lotus
#

Atleast your at an 150 or 180

#

Like an kill confirm

#

That's it true

#

Its jab 1 into d tilt

#

At 180

trim cave
#

The rocket mouse is just a kill confirm if u hit it

#

And thats the neat part

#

It is a dollar store joker counter

subtle lotus
#

That kills like at 120

#

With non good di

trim cave
#

Still under 150

subtle lotus
#

Like with light characters

#

Kills at 120

#

And with heavy weights

#

Like at 150

trim cave
#

If it kills it kills early

subtle lotus
#

I'm talking about an good di

#

Is not an kill confirm

#

And it doesn't kill early

#

120 and 150

#

Ain't good

trim cave
#

Its the earliest kill out of its entire moveset

subtle lotus
#

That's betlejuice kill power on release

#

That's why he was bottom tier

subtle lotus
#

That's the worst comment I have ever seen

#

Shaggy killing at 70

#

And ig killing occasionally at 40

#

The characters kill confirms are around

#

90 and 110

raven onyx
subtle lotus
#

Like the normal kill confirms

trim cave
#

Well what else u got cuz u have the rocket, fishing rod, or the mouse trap

subtle lotus
#

Your totally vulnerable

#

And mouse trap kills at 150

#

The character ain't good

#

Hes just bottom tier

#

They lit deleted everything from him

#

By adding shielding

trim cave
#

letsgetschwifty yeah i was just pointing something out

subtle lotus
#

Yeah

#

Theres nothing

trim cave
#

That it kills early

subtle lotus
#

Atleast i reached to masters 1 with T&J

trim cave
#

Jom

#

Tnj alternate version

subtle lotus
#

Hes just really dead
