Re: Should Sly lose AP for excessive hiding?

NO! Sly not being able to block is good enough.

He can I've seen it with every sly player I faced. I even get better examples as a radec player because sly goes invisible to get to meand when he attacks me he's invisible. It only breaks when he grabs me, is hit, or does a super.


Other than the fact that there are clear indicators of where he is on screen, invisibility is broken when he starts his attack animation.

Majority of the players have trouble with characters like Kratos because they DON'T block. Sly is the only character where R1 is noted for it's use.

 

Having an EXTREMELY good level 1 super (that you can activate out of invisibility), set up tons of traps like electric stun and control reversal (also via invisibility), and a counter?

 

Also smart Slys will stay still during majority of the Level 2 hypers since minimal movement keeps him harder to find. He also has the unique ability to setup item traps.  There's a lot of things that bug me about Sly, but his (impossible?) or hard to interrupt Level 1, and his invisibility bug me the most.

 

If anything I say he can't gain any AP while invisible (if that isn't active already I dunno)

What indicators? I can't see him, and his invisiblity doesn't break when he attacks, the only time that has happen is with the move where he jumps in a barrel. Idk if its the broken online or what but every sly I fight that goes invisible stays that way and is rarely seen. I've played against over 50 slys now and it's the same if he's invisible and attacks he stays that way.

@Scthye look for his footsteps he kicks up dirt when he moves. Also he is not super hard to see whole invisible in general.

Re: Should Sly lose AP for excessive hiding?

The only attack Sly can do while invisible is his neutral square which then steals AP. Every other attack that is done while he is invisible will break the invisibility. Even is a Sly stays invisible you can still see him just barely if you pay attention. Even if he just stays invisible he won't gain any AP unless he actually fights and once he does then you can punish him, I tend to lose track of sly sometimes but never to the point where the match seems unfair. Losing AP for his primary move would be stupid, people need to stop whining and trying to nerf a character for every little thing!!!

Yes but hiding can save you from many supers that blocking cannot including level 3s.

Sly can't dodge either. NO penalty for hiding!

Also he's pretty visible if you just look for him and the smoke.

Thanks, but I myself still can't see him though I don't know why, the only time the invisibleity is even close for me to see is when it's 1v1 but he's still hard to see. Ive never notice any dirt being kicked up only the other players going for me and just chaos every where, I didn't know that dirt was from sly.

Re: Should Sly lose AP for excessive hiding?

@pedro702 I have no problems keeping track oh him in FFA by looking for his footsteps. Even in FFA I track him pretty easily. Also tracking him never caused me to come in last. Maybe you need to eyes checked if you have so much trouble with it.
