BTW guys, EX dive kick is his best move on hit and even on block. 32% Combo on hit and +9 on block which spaces for a perfect 6 frame b2. Abuse this, cause i know i am.
What combo are you referring to? Sorry just wondering.

This is probably known, but try to mb divekick below the opponents waste and you can dash in for full 11 black magic etc combo. For wakeups Ive been messing with back dash into lightening storm (still gets blown up by jumpins sometimes). MB Cage seems like it SHOULD be a good wakeup but doesn't have invincability I don't think. Wakeup's and anti airs are about the only thing that gets me blown up with this character :( Experimenting with b2 and standing 1 AA, not sure about them yet.

Found a pretty consistent AA combo.

B2 11 black magic dash in b23 u1+3 26 percent.

Just kinda walk back a little when they're in the air and B2 seems to work pretty good as AA.

Got another easy midscreen 40% no meter off of 22. 22 Trait - 22b1 - 11 Black Magic - B23 1+3.

Also anyone got some good naked B3/F3 stuff? Best im getting for no meter is like 26-30%

B3 - J2 - B23 1+3 30%

F3- B23 1+3 26% and thats like the best im finding cause you cant use black magic after either one.

Nay.
I thought Mr. Gruntypants played an extremely impressive Adam here. Even goes on a 15 game win-streak.

You can see how well he conditions his opponent with his d.1 xx Lightning Storm for oki; mixes it up with b.2 and throws. Big fan of that bomb set-up after 2, 2, b.1 as well. Although not the most optimal combos, his neutral game seemed on point.

I honestly think Adam's lack of a reliable anti-air is his biggest weakness at this point. And the angle of his Close Boot Stomp is straight booty.

Yea grunty kicked my ass in mirrors for a good 12 games earlier. Hes had the game for a while now and his adam is down pat so far. He just needs to get all the right combos and he will be looking really good. His setups and spacing are pretty on point.

Nasty little corner setup.

End your combo with EX Black magic and throw out a close bomb. Meter burn an overhead. The only way the opponent can get out is by jumping forward. But it's a nasty reset. (Hi Low Unblockable)

Also, I am calling it now Black Adam is going to be Low Mid Tier. Way to many holes in his game.

I still like him tho.

True dat, but I am just calling it now. Let it be known that when a top player finally says "Black Adam is low mid tier or trash" I was here saying the same thing.

You won't believe me, but you will believe someone else lol
LMAO So we jumped from he has two problems, to man there are too many holes in his game this character isn't that good. It's been 4 days and you are already the number one Injustice Black Adam downplayer.

I am not downplaying, it is the truth.

This character will never win a major or a tournament. Prove me wrong and I will love every Black Adam for it.

He is the Jade of this game. Good potential, just missing the 1 thing to tie it all together. When it's all said and done (after patches etc) I seriously doubt that will be the case, but as of right now. Jade tier.

I'm asking to pls not be tagged in discussions like these. And chance you are 100% wrong. Black Adam is one of the most well rounded characters in the game and the only thing he is missing is a good low(kabal didn't have a good low and is the best in mk) and a good anti air. If he did he will be the best in the game free.

Show me! That's all I am saying :)

If you win a major with black adam I will personally donate 50 dollars. That goes for everyone.

Did you all know that even if you do manage to get an opponent setup on a lightning trap and dive kick (overhead) setup, the game will autoblock the low lightning trap? Thats not just ai, thats human as well.

I am not blowing smoke up your asses lol

This character has a lot of problems. Good potential but he is missing the one thing to tie it all together.

How about if i get top 8 at a major? Cause jade never even got close to that.
Russel got top 8 with Jade.

But seriously, Smarr I am not insulting you players I play Adam too lol

He is just and I really do mean this probably the very bottom of mid tier.

EX Ovi should launch
Nobody know the tier lists, shut the hell up about tiers and just play the game. I dont think anyone even takes what you say seriously at this point mate.
