Mercurius (GWED)

Move List

Specials:

Shield Crash (14-24)-DP + Attack; Ground or air Mercurius flies forward with its crash shield on its chest. Heavy version does four hits, light does one.

Defensor Shield (0)-Down, DB, back + Attack; Ground only Mercurius activates its planet defensor shield. While active, the shield make Mercurius immune to all attacks except for throws. Both versions cost no energy initally, but the shield drains energy constantly.

Defensor Attack (7 per defensor)-Down, DF, forward + Attack; Ground only Mercurius throws the planet defensors at the enemy. This can only be used if Mercurius has its shield active (the previous move). Light throws the defensors in the primary directions; heavy version homes in on the enemy.

Advanced Strategy

The Good

Multi-hit strong projectiles, which beats Epyon's super. Regular weapon attacks travel across the screen.

The Bad

Not that useful against close range opponents.

The Good:

• Good mobility.
• Great reach.
• It can dish out some devastating combos.
• One of the best specials around.
• Great when it comes to countering.
• Strong throw regains power. :)

The Bad:

• Fires less vulcans than everyone else.
• Throw does less damage than everyone else.
• Doesn't combo very effectively away from the corner.
• Damage isn't as overwhelming as you think.
• Inflexible, it doesn't recover from mistakes very well.
