@xmatatatx: Due to how random it is, you just end up not using it because you can't rely on it like you can with all other specials but like I said, you can use it to bait others in as most players will often rush you if they get the chance. His air feint is also really awesome as well as a lot of people don't expect it from Markman but you expect to see either Mr N. or Shoals hover although most people use them ineffectively.

I'm a firm believer that Stream is a secret high-tier, and that Shoals is a month-one top tier who will quickly descend the ranks as people start to realize she has rather blaring weaknesses. Stream has the fastest meter build in the game, gets a free round after a headshot on every character but S-Kill and Redacted, can out-lame every character for a time-out due to his ability to stay at the top of the screen with his flame bait, and the flame-bait special can be used as a Mr. N Marneto, a Kenny angel-shot-style delay, and a MarkMan bounce-pad. He is a monster.

My main is Redacted and I find Dr Shoals ridiculously easy to defend against. Because redacted is so fast he can zone in quicker than Shoals can double kick and just slip under her every time if youre paying attention. But thats just my opinion of course.

Is it even worth going against a Jefailey as Pao? Every time somebody picks him I always go with Shoals instead, because I can't see Pao getting anywhere against him. Any thoughts?
