Stark Spidey is a top 3 BG attacker

I think he’s the most versatile tech attacker and one of the best overall nukes. (This is from the current GC meta which doesn’t benefit Starky in any way. In fact it lowers his damage through inequity if the opponent has it active)
Also kinda played some of these wrong. All of these matches I built to 10 poise when 7-8 is usually enough (when punching same rank it’s better to get 10 but not necessary except for bullseye) so wasted a bit of time.
- Bullseye is now easy with him (this is r5A in GC, I could easily do a r3 too since the r5A dropped fairly quickly). Rotation is build 10 poise, 5 combo, 2 combo, Power drain heavy and combo. If r3 use striker and sp
- Photon is r3 in one and r5A in the other (r5 took longer because I shallow dexed so skill issue on my part lmao) and her dupe doesn’t matter because we kill her so fast
- Skull regardless of rank drops fast. Don’t need to worry about armor when our crit rate is so high and we kill him before he can even throw a special
- Same with onslaught. The only attempt I have saved is one where I messed up and shallow dexed like an idiot but it’s a very fast fight otherwise
- Nick gets dropped so easily. Poise into a combo + 2 hit combo + relic = 1st life dead, bait sp2, throw combo and he’s dead
- Just a few additional fights from this GC meta. R3 Mangog and a r5A Galan killed before even getting to do anything
Don’t have ss for these specific ones but he can obviously do them pretty easily. These include bishop, Jessica, wpx, dust, sassy, attuma (damage back tho), rintrah, any general defender. I linked Trap’s video here too to show a bunch of these fights
The only things he can’t handle are champs that punish crits like Sinister and Maestro and bs like Serpent. He also probably isn’t the best for domino but I think he can still handle her.
Other than that, if you can dex and they don’t punish crits, they’re dead before they even throw a special. The beautiful part of spidey is that most champs troublesome abilities come from their specials or if they’re hit too much. Champs like bishop drop so quickly that there’s no sp1 fear, Jessica can’t do anything if she’s just dead before reaching a special, Dust can’t trigger sandstorm if I kill her before any sand builds up, etc. Super versatile, incredibly fast for most meta threats, and he has some amazing power control and stun capabilities. This is my post to convince people to pick Starky twice from the carina challenges because I think it’s easily the best payoff
Also pls stop banning him most matches, I want to use him more 😭 I wanted more ss but he’s banned 95% of the time so I’ll just use Trap’s vid to show the fights that I couldn’t

TLDR; Pick double Starky if you’re bg focused. One of the best most versatile attackers, easy to play, no reliance on pretty much anything, takes pretty much 95% of current meta threats. Massacre is great but Starky supremacy (also inventive to finish the challenges for some people)

Also how much time it takes to dex 10 times?
Only about 3 meta threats I’d never use him for (Serpent, Maestro, Sinister). Everyone else is a nuke fest
No synergies, boosts, or anything and he hits 56k heavies and 27k mediums so that should give you a fair idea of how fast the opponent drops
As defender is great too
I did have a more passive r3 photon earlier and only built to 7 poise. Added on like 4 seconds from what it usually is but it didn’t end up mattering because he just hits so hard. Fair on crit me but I think Starky will still be amazing there too
I’m not as big on massacre’s play style but he is really good and can take matches in similar times. Where I think Starky wins out easily is the versatility. Dust, Onslaught, bullseye, Photon, and a few others that massacre can’t do nearly as well or at all (he can cook photon tho)
be totally wrong about the ai thing. Also act 7 ai is definitely more passive than bgs ai.
And yea starky is definitely more versatile, that’s what makes me want to take him. I wish we knew when 7* ags will be made more available, cuz I ideally want to have both lol
They might do something similar to Serpent if they decide to tone him down, but we'll see
