MultiVersus

Alright, let's talk about making the Iron Giant even more of a powerhouse in MultiVersus! This big guy can be a bit of a handful to keep alive, so the right perks are super important. We're going to focus on ones that help him avoid getting juggled and keep the pressure on.

First up, we've got a table of the top picks:

The main idea with these perks is to help Iron Giant avoid getting stuck in those nasty combo chains. Because he's so big, it's easy for opponents to get him into a bad spot and just keep hitting him. That's where Fancy Footwork and Slippery Customer come in clutch. Fancy Footwork gives you a little extra distance on your dodges, and Slippery Customer makes you invincible for longer when you dodge. These are fantastic for getting out of danger and letting you fight back instead of just taking hits.

Then there's Aerial Acrobat. This perk is awesome because it gives you more control and distance when you're using your rocket boots in the air. It means you can use your aerial specials a bit more freely or keep burning enemies with your thrusters. Basically, it makes you more mobile and harder to pin down.

Finally, let's talk about Afterburners. This is the signature perk, and it's pretty cool. When Iron Giant lands after using his thrusters, he leaves behind a firewall on the ground. This is great for stopping enemies from uppercutting you as you land, or you can use it to control space and zone out opponents trying to come at you. If your teammate stuns an enemy in a 2v2 match, you can drop this firewall to add some safe damage without messing up their combo.

Honestly, these perks are the most practical choices for Iron Giant right now. They really help shore up his weaknesses and make him a more consistent threat on the battlefield. Give them a try and see how much better he feels!

Iron Giant's combos in multiversus are limited due to his slow speed and heavy weight. He is not designed for extended combo strings, but his basic moveset guarantees true combos.

Basic Combos:

• Ground to Air: Down Attack > Up Attack
• Horizontal: Sair > Side Attack x3
• Extended Ground to Air: Side Attack x2 > Down > Up. This requires Iron Giant to be directly on top of the enemy for the second hitstun to not push them too far for the Down Attack.

Basic combos are also possible while in Protect Friends mode:

• Down to Up Air: Position your right leg on the enemy and use Down Attack. Then, use Special Up to zap energy through the suit for another hit. Follow with Up Attack to launch rockets.
• Bubble Scoop: Down Attack > Special Right. Kick enemies from the ground into your cannon to get bubbles. This is useful for protecting an ally in 2v2 and letting them drift off the edge.
• Floor Blast: Up Attack > Down Special > Down Attack. Fire missiles, then shoot your energy gun. The energy blast hits first, followed by the rockets. You can then land a Down Attack kick on the hitstun enemy.

Iron Giant Extended Combos:

• Edge Guard: Down Attack > Up Attack > Ground Combo > Nair > Sair > land into Side Attack x3. Repeat for a large edge guard hitbox.
• Side Air 4 Hit: The Sair move can hit four times if angled correctly. If enemies are on the ground, use Sair before landing to hit twice, then another two hits when they are at the side.
• Five Hit Special Up: Hit the enemy on the left side of Iron Giant’s body for the first hit and follow to land the remaining four. Three hits are possible with Iron Giant’s up special. Five hits are possible on lower HP heavier characters, but it is harder.

Iron Giant Kill Combos:

• Air Kill at 95 HP: Down Attack > Up Attack > Jump > Uair x2. Both Uair punches must land. You may need to jump again to land the second one. If they try to land, juggle with Up Special in the air to hit them with the car, then land with a second upper punch.
• Spike Kill at 130 HP: Landing the basic ground-to-air combo guarantees a kill at 130 HP.
• Helicopter Kill at Sub 80 HP: Use a ground-to-air combo, followed by a Uair combo. Use remaining fuel with Special Uair to force them to the skybox. If all lands perfectly, this can result in an 80 HP kill.

Mastering Iron Giant's key Nairs and Uairs can net powerful kills, despite the limited combo options.
