I believe the only zoner he will really have issues with is cyborg, besides that he can get in on sinestro, raven, and etc. Trust me, GL isn't getting nerfs because ppl are too focused on supes and BA/ also I heard he was getting a mobility buff :), that'll help him a bunch for sure.

How can you forget Bruce in that list.

Superman, WW, and Batman are the top 3 IMO. There are very closely followed by characters like Black Adam, Aquaman, Flash, Lantern, Batgirl, Frost...Then you have the wild cards like Doomsday (he gives no fucks almost ever), Nightwing (he will get figured out fully soon), and Raven who is just stupidly slept on until blind man.

Just under them you get solid characters in Deathstroke, Harley, Arrow (might even be stupid good but only chris has it so far), Cyborg, and Catwoman.

They all have some positive attributes for sure, but they also have MUs that are really bad or close to unwinnable. Why bother with any of them when you can pick a top tier and not have to care as much about MUs? And yea AK Smarrgasm I would add Batman.

If WW had zoning like him, she'd have a shot. Also he has the best footsies tool in the game, most damage, and the best super in the game as well. I do agree that WW could become a character that ppl will really be worrying about later on in the game's life (kind of like sonya in mk9).

Ya superman does not have the best damage in the game unless he can do at least 70% every single time. #Grundy

The Superman player isn't a mindless drone that just loops F2 3 xx Breath whenever he's in range. Within that range he can also do jump in mix ups with J2, box dashing and air lasers.

Blocking F2 3 xx Breath is a mix up for both you and Superman.

*Backdash: Superman can read your backdash, dash in and get you again. Against some characters it might be possible he punishes them for trying to escape.
*D1: He waits, makes it whiff and full combo punishes you.
*Superman backdashes: You need a move like Aquaman's FTD to punish that. Others need to try to dash in, unfortunately that leaves you in neutral game right in his face where F2 stuffs and beats the majority of attacks.

What you don't acknowledge is that 2/3 times you make a correct read you only dodge or block his attacks, which in the big scheme of things amounts to nothing. Whereas 2/3 times Superman reads correctly he punishes you hard. You run more risks trying to read him / outmaneuver him than he does.

Yes but this just gets towards the end of strategy, the problem you have here is that the answer varies heavily depending on the character.

My point is that the basic superman tech; his main strings, and his zoning, don't require any reading to block. Infact once you have practised it enough you shouldn't really ever being hit by his zoning at all, it's just way to slow. What Superman is left with is an unusually punish heavy playstyle instead of general domination.

Also huge point everyone is missing: I'm only saying that he won't be top tier/S tier, he will still be a strong champion but he won't hold onto the highest pedestal as time progress

Yeah i think Shazam is def high mid with potential, Shazam is Momentum Char, once ya get the game at your Rhythm Shazam is on Fire.

I think BA is better than supes

there kinda the Oppisit in a way

SM=Always Block low
BA=Always block high

SM=Locking in free pressure
BA=Freely escaping pressure

I think the game's pretty balanced overall. IMO, what makes top tier characters top in this game is it all-roundeness. BA, Supi, WW, Batman, Aqua, have no impossible nor completely uphill matchups. I do believe Flash and GL do and therefore they should be a little behind in the tier list. Deathstroke is one character that I think really needs to be recognized as a threat. Some people think Raven has top 10 potential due to her good chances vs Superman, but she has other flaws that probably leave her at the door of the top 10.

Shazam is a lot better than people are making out, Joker is pretty turd.

I've had a long discussions about Shazam.... and we have come to the conclusion that he may actually be the real worst character in the game. Joker at least seems to have potential with his unblock able set-ups and pressure tech, heck even Lobo as hard to use as he is at least has "potential", Shazam's problem is that he just lacks basic tools, he's like Jade almost in that respect.

There are a lot more characters who can win all of their matchups than you think there are.

Not entirely true.

Only fullscreen you're able to dodge with certainty his zaps and lasers, as you move closer one misstimed jump or dash means you're back to fullscreen and have to work your way in again. You can crouch dash consecutive zaps, but not zap -> laser since you'll get hit on your dash recovery frames. Then, if you read wrong he will do a ground laser and he decides to do an air laser instead, chances are you'll get hit out of air.

Like it has been said already, the risk:reward ratio favors Superman a great deal. If you react or read correctly you dodge or block, if Superman does he does a full combo punish or puts you back in the same situation. The only time you get to punish Superman is if you read 2 consecutive zaps or Superman foolishly does air lasers at the top of his jump.
