Using Deidara in Storm 3

[moongem]

Howdy there. So recently, I've been using Edo Deidara in Storm 3 (as in, Online). I don't over use his projectiles. In fact, I use his combo quite often, as it is quick and provides blow back, which is nice once the team gauge is full. Just as a note, my supports are Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi.

However, despite how I use him, I am constantly accused of 'spamming' simply because I use Deidara.
Am I damned to these accusations as long as I use Deidara?

Yes. It may not be you, but people who use Deidara are always accused of being spammers and for very good reason. Dont take it personally if you don't spam. Its just bad history.

No. Just because you use a long-ranged character doesn't mean you're a spammer. Unless you're actually spamming. And if you think about it, people spam the circle button to perform combos so it doesn't matter. If they refuse to believe that, it's not your fault.

Characters like Deidara are long-range characters. Some people assume they're spam characters only because of their combos. There's nothing wrong with that.

Spam's when someone overuse a jutsu one after the other. It's like someone spamming Part 1 Tenten's Jutsu over and over.

 

[SonictheHedgehog]

Deidara's projectiles are more off the chart than Tenten's which leads people to spamming it, therefor everyone assumes Deidara users are spammers. Similar to a way that people think all Sage Naruto's are rasengan barrage spammers. (Most of them really are).

Let them say u spamming not like they can do anything about it and if ur spamming do it it's not like other will ban u

Well, I'm glad that you're all so positive about it. I've always like Deidara, and I hated never using him in Generations because of the bad rep the character had. Now in Storm 3, I refuse to not use him.

My most used characters are Utakata, Shino, and Deidara (Reanimation). I don't get hate mail saying I'm a spammer, but I do encounter a lot of spammers. They get really embarrassed and leave when I defeat them with 50%+ health.

Use his clay attacks. It's his moveset. Butthurt losers can screw off.

I can sympathise with you. I'm a huge Deidara player because I genuinely love the character in the anime so much. Those tiny little combos you can rush in and do, the good jutsu and that tilt. THAT. TILT. He's genuinely fun to use and he CAN be used right! His shuriken ARE his combos, it's only spamming when you're in the air in the middle of the stage doing nothing but throwing shuriken combos, one after another. People aren't smart enough to realise this clear difference though and plus, do you win a lot? People like having an excuse for losing.

But sadly enough, we just have to learn to deal with it, people don't give Deidara a chance.

It's not spamming, because there is an obviously clear way around shuriken users. People just don't understand that not every character is given top priority awesome super fast taijutsu combos and don't spam that like they would. Taijutsu comboqueens are just the same if not worse than shuriken users. Shino, Deidara and Utakata are all characters I often use as well as Part 1 Naruto & the Kabutos. Haven't people put 2 & 2 together that the reason they have non-existant combos is because their shurikens ARE their combos.

I honestly doubt Cyberconnect would leave the character of Shino & Deidara completely unhindered (and actually given upgrades) for 3 whole installments of the the game if what they did was anything unfair. People who stand in the air and relentlessly throw shuriken nonstop ARE still cheap, but if you can't counter that it's your problem. I can defeat a Deidara/Temari spammer effortlessly with the right character. Played as Hidan once by accident though. Not a good matchup, got raped. In summary theres a difference between shuriken based characters and spammers.
