Man I'm fucking loving this character haha. I'm not using trait at all though because people just d1 spam. When and how should I use it?

Lost between choices.
So, anyone found footage of Noobe's Doomsday? Pretty interested in seeing that.

I've been trying that jd.3, 23 xx MB ES, d.2, b.3, j.3, d.3. To make it work, I'm delaying the jump a little bit so Doomsday falls closer and d.3 connects. Otherwise the distance is too big and d.3 whiffs.

I want to try him out , but I suck at rushdown ... I have a few questions :
how do you get in with doomsday on characters like lantern , stroke , sinestro ?
how do you start your offense ? mindless rushdown may work on some noobs but not better players w...
I understand his main tools are jump d3 and d1 shake ? what are others best strings ? I noticed 22 13 is pretty good ?

Getting in on zoners without MB Venom or Trait is either jumping forward, dash forward and naked crouch under high projectiles.

Huge test of patience to get in on characters like that and also helps to know which projectiles are safe to dash forward on block

2,2,1+3 isn't too good. It puts you 2/3 screen away and you'll have to chase the opponent down again, plus there is a 10 frame gap between the 2nd and 3rd hit so you can get heavily punished for using this. His dash is one of the best in the game, covers an insane amount of distance safely and quickly. Don't neglect his D3 either...leads to a nasty crossup (after D3 hits, dash forward and jump straight up and D3). F2,3 is slow but covers a lot of distance which can be made safe with Earth Shake if blocked. 3,3 is +10 and uninterruptable. EX Venom leads to a D1 that most players respect...it can be backdashed, but Venom will catch them.

Perhaps we should have a new discussion on fixes and buffs, that we would like for doomsday since there is a big upcoming patch coming.

I have a keen eye for all things broken.
Alright so I picked up doomsday less than a week ago and am progressing somewhat nicely with him but im having a lot of trouble with characters that have invinvible wakeup attacks. It really makes it hard to keep pressure going and if I block it, a lot of the time I cant even punish.

Also, I seriously hate how like almost every character has the ability to zone me out. What are your guys's tips for me? Thanks.

Really, he doesn't need a buff. If I had to say one thing, make Upward Venom better. Either give it a combo after meter burning it or make MB safe or something. Right now there isn't much use for it since both regular Venom and Air Snatch do hit's job better

I agree about trait it doesn't matter if they give old cooldown back

As far as Air Venom the divekick part needs to be overhead and + on block in some way.

➕ on block would be extremely stupid.

2213 is completely useless vs some characters because its punishable on hit from certain wakeups, you're hella minus on hit.

Jumping with DD is not a good idea outside of setups, its easy to blow up and not very advantageous. Why do people have problems getting in? You have an almost full screen special with armour. Also, frame data is on the pause menu.

When traited up you can't be punished. that means everything you do is safe, abuse venom, air venom, counterpoke or just jump and punish people who mash buttons during trait.

Mb divekick is a pure mixup in the corner.

Air Venom Divekick is most definitely not a mixup in the corner because it's not an overhead. Just holding down completely nullifies the mixup and leaves DD vulnerable.
