Every time I've seen good players try out swampy, they just freak out at how ridiculously good they didn't expect him to be. He looks so slow and clunky and unsafe but he's actually fucking awesome and deals a lot of damage with those grabs.
I love how Emperor Knicks picks up the least used character on the game to beat you up, I mean Goro and Swamp Thing, I know that the game came out for about a week, but still, he isn't very recognized.
Jediel G for really good reasons honestly. go against sonic fox deadshot or bios harely you're never going to be able to get in. I mained goro since day 1 and even goro was in a better place than swamp thing.
Swamp Thing is underrated. Been playing him in ranked and player matches with Atrocitis, and man, Swamp Thing is really good. He might seem slow, sluggish and unsafe on paper, but in practice, he has some amazing pressure from anywhere on the screen, including a command grab and his own projectiles to stop zoners, a command grab that gives you life back and can re-stand the opponent for a vortex setup. His forward 2,3,3 combo is one of the best combos in the game IMHO, because it can set up combos (mostly in the corner), it's plus 2 to 6 I believe on the last hit, -4 on 2nd hit, and last 2 hits are overheads and his forward 2,1 combo ends with a low, so his long ranged combo can lead to 50/50 mixups that can lead to good damage. If you love Solomon Grundy with command throw mixups, I recommend Swamp Thing. he plays identical, but can actually deal with zoners much more effectively than Grundy could.
Swamp Thing doesn't have Grodd's ridiculous armor though, Log Kick doesn't go full-screen and is predictable, just make Vine Grab hit mid and make him faster
Yeah. Or the slide to get closer or long vine wipe but it might not reach. Oh actually I don't think u can vine wipe on a crouch opponent. So not much yeah
tier difference doesnt matter when the two players have different skill levels... evidenced by how a swamp thing, arguably the worst character in the game, beats a black adam, arguably the best character in the game
killtron juggles better than I do, however his zoning game is kinda weak. if your opponents don't imagine Metallica playing ride the lightning in the background, you're not doing it right.
Just goes to show how tiers don't even matter that much. Black Adam is usually considered best in game and swamp thing the worst yet look how Knicks performed like how shit stuff tiers
"When Black Adam farts he hits you for 55% damage."
Hahaha so true.
I don't see swamp plays very often, so this is a treat for me.
Every time I've seen good players try out swampy, they just freak out at how ridiculously good they didn't expect him to be. He looks so slow and clunky and unsafe but he's actually fucking awesome and deals a lot of damage with those grabs.
black adams damage almost seems like a handicap option added in, its absurd
Thank you Knicks for the Swamp thing tech! I'm happy because Swamp thing is my Main.
10:25 "how he does against zoners" well imo swampy is a long game defense char, he has his fission clone to check zoners and a near full screen grab.
Stinkyremy you can meterburn his clone for a fullscreen grab
its useless against any competent player
MrTheTomahawk fullscreen mid with a lot of recovery.. So scary

Jediel G i picked up swamp thing i pick up characters that are mostly underrated too

Totally Agree. SwampThing is basically Grundy with many more options.
i personally prefer Grundy but Swamp Thing is cool...

Knicks easily the best Swamp, i hope he sticks with the character.
I love Knicks Goro , so i'm looking forward to more of his Swamp Thing for sure.
his goro is completely brain dead. best swamp thing compared to whom, exactly? nobody else plays the character.
Pair A Phrase That would make him the best then
My first pick when I bought Injustice 2 was Swamp Thing, but I didn't see many folks using him. Thank goodness I found this video.
What can swamp do against a crouching full screen opponent?
Yeah. Or the slide to get closer or long vine wipe but it might not reach. Oh actually I don't think u can vine wipe on a crouch opponent. So not much yeah
holy shit ive been looking for ways to make swamp things trait work. this is awesome
That down2 hitbox is definitely busted
Pingwing whose?
Man, i NEED to learn how 2 play swamp thing. Sickest character in the game
Shahan you are sorely mistaken
Shahan He's tough to win with but has way more of an interesting play style than most characters.
swap thing is brutal if you don't know how to approach him
3:00 10/10 commentary
"Wait who's the guy back there?"
Definitely need to start swamp thing
Subbed man i love these matches but since im new can somebody let me in on what RHS means?
Chuck Borris Red Hot Sundays
Thanks man
Did he give his controller to his kid bro in the first match? 😅
broken ass black Adam needs a damage nerf BADLY
Delsin Rowe Couldnt agree more
DONT EET YOR VEGETAL S!
-swomp thng
Justin Boling Best comment I've ever seen
Stealthmailman Swampy is potentially future meme material
tier difference doesnt matter when the two players have different skill levels... evidenced by how a swamp thing, arguably the worst character in the game, beats a black adam, arguably the best character in the game
If you don't recycle swamp thing will mess you up
What skin is he using for swamp thing? It looks so badass! :p
I like black Adam but I can seem to land his combos his moveset feels funny to me idk why I main Captain cold and swampy tho
More Swamp Thing! Please!!
ive played both these guys in ranked. knicks was close but i lost. killtron just mopped my ass with two combos.
The green will humble you
Flowers also do damage
Black Adam is my favorite
Xavier Banks see if u still like him after the nerf
delete me lol I like him as a character he def needs a slight damage nerf imo
delete me he's not going to get nerfed
just_2swift he will get larger scaling bet money.
just_2swift His damage is going to be scaled back.
SWAMP THING UNDERRATED
Love watching people destroy black Adam players
killtron juggles better than I do, however his zoning game is kinda weak. if your opponents don't imagine Metallica playing ride the lightning in the background, you're not doing it right.
I'm so shit. I realize now! XD
Just goes to show how tiers don't even matter that much. Black Adam is usually considered best in game and swamp thing the worst yet look how Knicks performed like how shit stuff tiers
Elementalblaze knicks is really good and seems to know the match up really well
Killtron's Adam looks day 1 here, doesn't really know the character.
just move the mic away from your mouth a bit.
if swamp were more fast could be a broken character
Koenigseg Hennesey yeah, if he a reasonable jump and movement speed, he'll be epic, although his full screen options are trash
Hearing all the Black Adam hate when Pig plays Atrocitus lmao. I see you pig
black Adam needs a serious nerf into the ground. as well as flash
GotYourSix Saying Flash needs a nerf is laughable.
Flash isn't even that great. Black Adam does need a nerf though
Keon H Flash is top tier.
