Introduction

This is Tony Stark. He built that suit himself- pretty smart guy. For the purposes of Marvel vs. Capcom 2, he's considered a top tier character, but not quite god tier. His kit is overall good, but what really sets him apart is his infinite combo, which gives him access to a nice touch of death.

Iron Man's cool because he can do an infinite combo. It takes practice, but it's fun when you get it down. He's also got some nice toys to play with in the form of his specials, like Unibeam and Repulsor Blast. Those moves let him control a lot of space quickly, and so they're very nice tools to have in this crazy game. He's only got one super move, but it's a beam called Proton Cannon. It has hitboxes that knock you into the beam if you throw it up close, so you can use it to end combos. It also does good damage for how much super meter it costs. He's got several useful command normals, like his jumping 8HK, which starts his infinite, and jumping 2HK, which sends him downward.

TODO- 5HP extra frames, move data (damage, frame data, descriptions)

Gameplay

Iron Man is cool because he does infinites.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Infinite Combo- he's got an INFINITE combo which is nearly universal and easy to do Air Mobility- he may seem slightly slow on the ground, but his 8-way dash privilege, flight mode, and knee drop to change trajectory quickly in the air can aid him at rushing down his opponents Big Assist- Iron Man's anti-air assist covers a huge range and with the right setup can do massive damage. Technically the most damaging assist in the game but you only get a few of the hits in most situations. Proton Cannon- very nice full screen DHC tool, great chip, makes his infinite truly scary by allowing conversions that kill into a guard break setup Good meter battery - mostly uses meter in combos (where he'll be building meter anyways), pair him a character that loves to spend bar. Round start - with the threat of 300% damage and some good openers, it can be risky for any character to contest Ironman at round start

Consistency dependent- His infinite may be practical and simple, but if you drop the combo you might not get another chance. Doing it under pressure can be pretty tough, even for the best players

Use it in the air to control a lot of space, both in the air and on the ground. Very annoying for opponents to get past but weak to opponents who can get above you.

Great classic beam super, lots of hits means it always does good damage and chip. Slow startup makes it a risk in neutral but you can skip the startup with DHC. Use this to end your infinite to secure the kill.
