Who has the best and the worst wake ups?

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

I guess your right. But at the same time, the sword flip is hideously unsafe on block, where as slide is really safe on block.

Ares MB god smack is a good wake up. Not the easiest wakeup in the world to do, but doesn't change the fact it's good.

Raven while not in Demon form is for sure the worst.

Killer Frost and WW have great wakeups. They can be easily destroyed using MB b3/f3, but they are invincible and mostly safe.

Getting full combos off of an invincible wakeup attack is a luxury that most of the cast doesn't have.

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.
Nothing that hits cross ups?
Her Ermac lift does that all day. That's why it exists.

only bad part about WWs wakeup spin is if you do a crossover jump the spin only hits her front.

Sounds like you got to test that comment in more matchups, man.

It's simply not true on wakeup vs the majority of crossups or jump-ins that land on top of her.

It looks terribly glitchy- but the opponent will be directly on top of Raven- be smashed through her hitbox- and land on the other side when attempting to jump over.
You and others seem quite confident though.
Maybe its my jump timing, maybe its overly frequent glitches..
I'll believe you.

Ares has the most horrific time gettup up off the ground. Teleport can be baited and God Smack can be reacted to with little effort.

Let's not forget the amount of invincible frames Killer Frost has on her Slide...not to mention it's SAFE.

I guess worst is Lobo. but I think he's worst at everything..
Worst wakeups probably, that is true...

very good damage, strong corner lock game, multiple blockstrings frame traps into command grab, multiple hard knockdown options, solid mixups with trait, good anti-air, fastest recovering dash...
not everything is bad about him, but numerous game mechanics aren't in favor of his design

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.
why would shazam's wake up be good?
