Who has the best and the worst wake ups?

[Vocket]

I have been thinking about some corner rape options with my mains, the trouble being that I can't really think of set ups without first exploring everyone's wake ups.

I know Black Adam has one amazing wake up called lightning cage MB, which leads into huge damage and is plus on block.

Superman has four good wake ups, his breath which stops people rushing down but can be jumped, his aa grab which beats everything but can be punished, and his dash punch for those that try to whiff punish other wake ups. Finally he has super which needs no explanation.

Sinestro, on the other hand, has only one useable wakeup that is very risky and leads to pitiful damage.

I want your opinion on how good your main's wake ups are, especially if they involve movement, or if they are high risk.

Ares has the worst because 90% of the cast can Aug him out of tele and every other option is pretty bad as well.

The best, I don't know.

 

[Cossner]

Worst wake up:

Next to someone you don't even know, with puke on you, in a random house, not remembering the night before, AND YOU CAN'T FIND YOUR PANTS.

Best wake up:

Drank your brains out, no hangover, in your house, with pajamas on.

Plot twist: It was water

Raven has the worst, free.

Horrendous backdash and absolutely no wakeup options that aren't full combo punishable, nothing that advances, and nothing that could hit jump ins/cross ups. In the seconds that she is in demon she could teleport but even that is booty.

 

[Vilén]

Worst? I'd say Raven/Doomsday/Ares.

Best? Probably Black Adam. Fast, + on block, eats through a lot of MB F3s.

Is backdash really an option? Seems like you could just meaty it.

 

[killa_solid]

Best is hands down Shazam, the ony area he excels at imo.
question for those including Raven but not GL in their worst list. How are the two different. If anything, Raven's is better.

 

[CrazySlasher]

Sinestro worst

 

[Circus]

Worst? I'd say Raven/Doomsday/Ares.

Doomsday has an antiair wakeup, safe options from wakeup, and an advancing +frame wakeup with MB Vemon. His wakeups are actually pretty good.

Best is hands down Shazam, the ony area he excels at imo.

Lift doesn't stop jump ins over there heads so they both get jumped in on. GL actually has a bigger hitbox on his ring lift so his is actually better because he could stop some far jump ins on wakeup on him. Plus GL could get out of some setups with his piston advancing move.

I see. Might just be my mains Catwoman but in general I use the set up to beat out both those character's wake up, so to me they feel the same. The only aspect that makes the difference is that Raven's is -10 so you have make sure you are right next to her to punish it if you happen to get a knock down that doesnt have the proper adv to allow for a good set up.

 

[Hellbringer]

Ares has by far the worst wakeup.

Does he have any wake up with invincibility?

His teleport

 

[omegapr1me99]

Deathstroke has an incredible wake up game. He has sword spin and sword flip which are both invincible. Plus, input reversal corner tech will not work on him because inputs for SS and SF are opposite of each other

 

[Sage Leviathan]

One of Ares' downsides.
He's basically the only character in the entire game of whom you can disregard wakeup options.

 

[rev0lver]

Risk-reward wakeups aren't necessarily bad. They're just fair for both sides. If your options are full punishable they still have to bait it.

 

[chief713]

I think Bane has one of the best wakeups. Double punch is invincible and stops forward attacks. Venom uppercut is invincible, starts up fast and disrespects the fuck outta jumps and cross ups. And if the opponent decides to sit still and block or even back off a fair amount to bait or be safe, wakeup command grab is also invincible (although slow, but you get armor) and has stupid range.

Anytime you KD Bane, the opponent either has to back off completely or risk getting hit. There is very little safe pressure you can mount against him on his wakeup. What makes it greater is that he doesn't even need wakeup timing because he has venom, meaning he's the only char that can mash wakeups ala SF4.

EDIT: Forgot about Batgirl. I think her's is probably the best. Bane makes you have to guess so it's good for him, but if you guess wrong, the worst thing you eat is a command grab. Guess wrong with BG and you eat full combo into oki.

 

[PANDA]

Best: Batgirl's Batwheel
Worst: Batman

 

[poofynamanama2]

Shazam has the easiest time getting out of oki pressure. Hes a character you dont want to knock down

 

[NY_Jailhouse]

MMH has the single best wakeup move. although black adam gets like 50 percent for his if you MB but its pretty telegraph and is mad unsafe. MMH force push is insane

 

[Chaosphere]

Best: batgirl's batwheel/MMH's psionic push
worst: everything lobo has

 

[Tony at Home]

Martian Manhunter, by far.

 

[NaughtyZombie]

I'm kind of surprised no one has mentioned Killer Frost's slide. Imo its as good as, if not better than Deathstrokes Sword Flip or Sword Spin.

Deathstrokes sword flip has multiple hits, so you cant use armor while killerfrosts slide only has 1 hit and gets blown up by armor
