Machamp's Legacy Moveset
Anyone still have a Machamp or two with the now legacy Karate Chop/Cross Chop moveset? How does that moveset fare nowadays? Does it simply pale in comparison to C/DP?
Answers
Yeee I agree with Mahzaa and Kaygisizm
I have a Counter / Cross Chop (wanted KC ={ ) and the dodge bug, which I notice is significantly more likely to occur when more players are present, essentially anihilates the benefit of Cross Chop's extremely short cooldown. Perhaps it may be useful in the future? At least that's what I hope..
I do not have KC but I'd imagine the ability to charge up DP quicker compared to counter makes it just as relevant
I had one that I tried to TM to KC/DP, and I wasted seven CTM's toggling between close combat & heavy slam. In the meantime, I acquired enough C/DP Machamps and Hariyamas that it wasn't worth continuing to gamble charge TM's on the KC 'Champ. It now has close combat, which is arguably worse than cross chop (similar DPS, but one bar instead of two), and I never use it.
To your question, yes, it is way worse than C/DP from a damage output standpoint, although it is fun to use in gyms for its dodgeability. I wish I could get cross chop back instead of close combat.
