His Stand DRIBBLES Opponents - An 'Ex Zappa' Breakdown

@@joaoii1082 i'd like to retort by saying that there's more ridiculous things happened lore wise so they can absolutely get him back. But they didn't even let us play the big bad (Ariels), not even fighting her back in Xrd So yeah, having really low expectation is definitely better

[@LucidButtonMasher]

"we've done it with zato too is that cool?"

[@HSEJM14]

Zappa's sword staying in place after he attacks with it was a change made in +R. That's how his sword normally worked before. Same thing with the sword's 63214H only giving one orb (the funny thing about this one is that it did in EX mode in the other games; +R swapped them around), Raou not being able to do Darkness Anthem in the air, the sword's 623H being a reversal, the dog's 2D being unblockable, his reversal super would not give any orbs on hit (Zappa's 236P would give 3 orbs on hit); it was all like that before +R. Before AC, Darkness Anthem only had one follow up (P) and Raou's j.HS could cancel into itself (though it wouldn't bounce on hit), and Zappa's 236P wouldn't give an orb on hit (in EX mode)

[@LucidButtonMasher]

[@drummachine77]

So everything else gets nerfed but his strongest summon gets really buffed. That’s horrifying

[@KyKiske97]

I'd argue that it's got more style, but actually worser. Raoh DP and orb follow ups were insanely valuable for original Zappa, and Raoh damage was already nuts from one good opening/punish, so while lengthy loops look dope, they are generally worser than just getting the orb otg.

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Yeah losing summon otg too

[@felixc.4294]

Raoh has actually always been his weakest summon. He doesn't really have any ways to mix you in it, so even though the damage is so high, laming him out while he has Raoh active to drain the timer on it is pretty doable. His summon strength (for a high level player) goes Dog>=Sword > Ghosts > Roah.

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Hmmmb

[@malacara1335]

Raoh is Zappa's worst summon.

It’s only really “fair” if the characters themselves were bullshit.
