The best opening move to start a match in the game?

[Chrishaspads]

B13 trait, db1/ machine gun

 

[Zatoichi]

Against Superman and Wonder Woman? Parry.

 

[TarkatanDentist]

Depending on opponent, either crouch block or backdash.

It's F23 by Superman.
There is no question about it. Nothing else even compares a little.

Even if some characters can backdash/parry out of it at the start of the match, he is dictating and limiting his opponent's options right off the get-go whereas he could literally do anything he wants freely because F23 even catches jumpaway at the start.

Just the FEAR of F23 at the start of the match means Superman could instead instant air dash forward and catch their backdash into a full combo, dash forward then do F23 to catch their backdash, catch them with a laser, dash up to them and grab, ect. Just sit and block it and you're in his F23Breathe pressure too.

And if most characters press a button then they risk eating a 44% combo right at the start because he'll get a meter for first hit....

This is the truth^^

But F2d1 is just as good at getting the FIRST hit, hard to get a full trait combo off of it though.

2nd place is AMs f1,2+3.

3rd place is WWs b2,3.

AMs move beats WWs move it seems to me, in speed.

What do you think is the best normal or special move in the game to start a match..? Id have to go with Wonder Woman's lasso overhead...it always seems to hit first...

Insuperable

Corpse charge? F23? Naw son eat lasso!

 

[Rampage254]

Dammit, both of the things I was gonna say were already said.

 

[TJ Casters]

[Lex Luthor II]

[TJ Casters]

[sgZick]

Oh come on, it's F23, that is out of competitors for the reasons stated above. To make the question actually interessting it should have been what is the best match starter besides F23...

 

[AK Harold]

Just block.

 

[Zyphox]

Just block.

no this is #yoloswag forums, what is blocking? also flying uppercut is the best so there

 

[Jaku2011]

For the guy that said Lobo's standing 3 both f23 and Lanterns b1 beat it I believe, probably some other stuff too.
