I'll be rooting for ya then. Just don't abuse rush all the time. Mix your game up all the time.

You seem to think I trident rush every time lol. It's match up, health, and meter dependant. At this point the only punishes I know for it are flash and superman. You said before that there are many punishes. Do you know them?

I have no idea on Batman. But the other ones don't as far as I have tested. I will test again and post video proof

lex can punish it even if the last hit of the rush connects. gl can only punish it if the last the last hit doesnt connect

Why wouldn't the last hit connect? I'll test lex, it would make sense that he does.

when you trident rush and mb it, if you dash it wont always dash forward enough...for some reason aqua stands still and doesnt dash forward enough making the last hit whiff...

 

[Dizzy]

You can just mash forward like crazy and the last hit wont whiff if you do it fast enough. Also, some chars can only punish you if you move forward during trident rush/MB trident rush unless you have it in the most perfect spacing. An example of this is GL's B1

 

[HGTV Soapboxfan]

The way I do it is I add in a button (i use 3) and do ff3 ff3 ff3 like a special move in mk, it seems to come out every time for me. GGA Dizzy do you know if lexs charge punishes? I dont have a system in front of me. I seem to remember it not punishing even though it should.

It for sure doesn't punish trident rush if you dont move at all. Not sure if it does if you move forward during it

Yeah, I will test it. I can post a video with stuff that may or may not be able to punish, just so that there is no confusion on anything. Probably late tonight.

Okay recording this would be actually semi annoying, so here's what I found. Lex, if you do not move forward on regular rush, you are safe. On ex rush if you dash but space it to get pushback, you are safe. Same thing with green lantern b1. Batman punishes with bats. Nightwing, no punish at all. Can someone double check these for me?

About Batman and Nightwing you are right. Haven't checked Green Lantern's b1 yet.

Thank you.

Shazam puts Aquaman in a bad situation after Trident Rush, but you likely won't be playing any Shazam's anyway.

well Aqua-shazam match up is prob 6-4 at least, so yea...

 

[Slick Rick]

What are Aquaman's preferred stages? Metropolis Rooftop? Atlantis?

It's really not all that bad for Shazam. Aquaman has to be respectful in that match.

I like Themiscyra temple, Atlantis, Gotham Rooftop, and Batcave Crime Lab for Aquaman.

 

[FrozenG3oX]

Ok, guys..I'm afraid they are gonna nerf Aqua's trait again...i dont know how, but I have a feeling they will...

 

[McNasty]

What are aquamans best options vs grundy? Does he have any grab immune normals or specials? Obviously jump back 2 is pretty tasty vs walking corpse just curious if theres other things.

 

[Shawi]

His trait is fine. He is imo one the most well rounded characters. Him and bats.
