Is it just me or does Paul's super moves suck?

[Gameoholic]

Pauls "Viper bite" and "Viper fang" is hard to hit and does not do much damage. His reagular attack chains seems to be the best strategy to me.

it will for awhile, too. But when all the enemies actively blobk, jump out of the way and grapple, you might want those attacks saince they are hard to block

[BananaJane]

You need to use them in combos
They're great with your teammates

[Taft]

also, paul is the frickin king of those chase sequences quite specifically because of those jump-forward super skills

I wonder how that happened, How a special move ended up being worse than the regular moves.

I duno man. Mabye they are good for juggle combos if you get the hang of it. But to me it seems like you are better of doing the attack chains sins they are fast and hard hitting. I only use the viper skills when I need to cover some distance

Nowhere near as bad as Bruno's poison spit... so far though, the only special I've found to be of any use is Glen's blustery kick, the rest of what I've unlocked have been pretty much useless.

Speaking of Bruno... his moves in general are bad - his air moves are near impossible to pull off and unless they add a way to flip your grapple from a head on to behind, the atomic drop is not so good either.

Bruno's poison spit is amazing. Can't remember name of the moves. But pressing kick twice leaves them air born and you can combo poison spit. That simple combo kills majority of mobs. If not you can continue juggle, or jump on them when they're down.

You can also catch people as they wake up with the spit. The ai doesn't block all the hits and are left airborn for a juggle.

I just started new game+ with Ryan. And realized how weak Bruno is in comparison. Especially early on.

Huh, I didn't have any luck with it... I always miss, I'll have to play Bruno a little bit more and see if I can get that to work.

Best move so far - just unlocked the Dark Rainbow (I think that's the name), where Glen shoots a glowing beam of light out of his crotch... all style, no substance on that one :)

[Taft]

lol i can't figure out wtf dark rainbow is supposed to be. i was thinking maybe a dodge move, but it barely moves you forward and it's not particularly fast either. i have NEVER connected with it in an actual fight, but the crotch lightning bolt actually does damage if you can manage to. i only know this thanks to the main hideout with alex & ryan npcs standing there waiting to be crotch-zapped. and curiously, if you hit the punching bag with it YOU will get knocked down by it.

Dark Rainbow is an absolute joke. I beat the game as Glen in my first playthough. You can't accurately calculate the spacing everytime you use it, the hit box is really niche, and it's neither dark nor a rainbow. I use it more so as a taunt when I'm just messing around and want to be a jerk playing guitar. Verdict: No Practicality

Ryan is insane

Paul is soooo good. His regular combos kick butt. His running uppercut to start an air juggle, He is quick, hits hard and i love his guard special and how enemies do a little spin around if you knock em out with that attack.

I think with the two other specials its just a matter of spacing and if you see a big group the straight viper jab will send em flying like bowling pins.

When I played Paul I only used the those two specials for either dodging or hitting someone getting to close to my current fight. It's great because the knockback hits everyone behind the target, so you can happily 1v1 and keep others away.

[DarthEnderX]

Yeah, I play Paul and, as someone who's not great at combos, I find his special moves essentially useless for me, because if you're fighting an enemy normally, they all cause him to dash PAST who your fighting and punch empty space behind them.

At least Glen's Hadoken hits everything in it's path.
