I've always believed that it is hard to trap another player in a PK Fire. I don't mean getting it to work for a grab, I mean to trap long enough to do a smash. Heck, just now pacman was able to jump out of a point blank activated PK Fire (I'm typing this in between matches).
But recently I played against this Ness who had just mastered tbe Fire. He was trapping me like crazy. 0 to death. All it took was 3 PK Fires and a bat to end me. Now, I'm not that bad. Up to this point, I've been pretty good at getting out of the Fire.
But at the same time, I know there is room for improvement (like how not to get trapped in the first place and effectively punish the already laggy move).
But the guy's gameplay motivated me to try to replicate it.
I wanted to see if I could pull off those devastating kills.
And I have. Kinda. On some yes and others no. Depends on character and skill level. I was able to trap a DDD with three PK Fires.
But a part of me feels bad. Am I spamming? Yes, but is it wrong? PK Fire is an incredibly laggy move. If I'm spamming, they've got a golden opportunity to take me down. I know I like it when I play against PK Fire spammers, I usually win because of it (cept that one time). But why did I lose that time? Is it because the move really is cheap?
And that's my dilemma. What do you guys think? Is PK Fire actually OP or is their a fair trade off to using it and getting trapped is due to one's own fault?
