Open the Gates of Hell: Is Spawn Strong or Weak in the Meta?

Everyone always has their eyes on the new character leading to scrutiny, analysis, overblown expectations, and sometimes even envy. Let’s assuage those fears and jump into FGC expert TrueUnderDawgGaming’s introduction to the behemoth badass. Spoiler! You won’t be disappointed with Spawn’s versatile tools, unique moves, and strong combo game.

Spawn In-Depth Overview and Analysis

FGC commentators PNDK&M explore Spawn’s unique array of attacks. Short and long-range assailants pose no problem for the Hellspawn’s diverse normals. His normals make him fundamentally sound. Combine them with solid specials and it doesn’t take an investigation to learn this ex-CIA officer is strong in the current meta.

Necro Blast is a standard projectile to keep opponents at bay. Amplify for a second blast safe on block. Charge into battle with Unholy Veil, or use one bar of defense to cancel for a menacing mix-up.

Give your enemies something to feel after they respawn. Fatal Phantasm is a reliable restand. Restands prevent opponents from performing getup attacks. Amplify it and the heaviest thing falling to the floor will be their health.

Soul Shattering War Club is a unique combo finisher. Read the opponent’s armor attack and breakthrough with a launcher. Succeed in succession and the other player might be second-guessing future assaults.

From Hell Variation: Simple Starting Point for Beginners

Get trigger-happy with the From Hell variation.

Gun Blazing replaces Necro Blast. Spawn shoots bullets instead of energy blasts. Use his machine gun to anti-air and continue combos if you launch the opponent high enough. Amplify for extra damage.

Fallen Angel hits foes with your cape while descending from the apex of your jump. Condition enemies to block then jump forward without utilizing Fallen Angel for a free grab.

Blaze of Glory parries and fires low after a slight charge. Delay, amplify, or cancel it to keep your opponent on their toes.

The One Variation: Combo Food

The One is a combo heavy variation. Trickier to triumph and more effective to master.

Air Leetha Glide, more like a lethal glide. Follow with any of Spawn’s aerial normals and become less predictable thanks to extra options on block. Is it a quick descent into darkness or a slow burn anticipating when he will land?

Charging Hellspawn replaces Soul Shattering War Club. Amplify for a full launcher and easy combos. Charging Hellspawn in tandem with Air Leetha Glide has terrifying combo potential and versatility.

Hellspawn Variation: A Few Tricks Up the Demonic Sleeve

Change Spawn’s playstyle and capitalize on gimmicks and mind games to win.

Throw off your veil because Hell Chain replaces Holy Veil. Land the high grab and spend meter to temporarily go invisible. Hell Chain ends combos. It might be the last move your opponent sees before you finish them.

Raising Hell heats up the competition. This low starting, long-range projectile replaces Fatal Phantasm. Amplify the attack for a second strike.

The Lethal Leetha Stance is a bountiful serving of options. Initiate the stance then depending on your input launch, cancel, delay, or switch sides with your opponent.
