There have been a lot of balancing threads about balancing and I have never seen this mentioned. The airdashes in this game are great. They create deadly crossover setups, make getting in on many characters easier, and get make getting out much easier. So basically it makes your mobility ten times better than most of the current cast. Which would be fine if they didnt only give them to top tier characters:
MMH
KF
Supes
WW

So what I propose is to either A. Take air dashes out completely OR B. Give them to more characters(especially those with poor mobility)

Agree/Disagree?

Curious how this discussion will go.

Its not that they gave them to Top tier characters, the characters are partly top tier because of it. Its such an insanely good tool. I personally dont think anyone else really needs one but based on his powers Shazam probably should have one.

I feel like in general air dashes are somewhat irrelevant to the meta at this point, especially with d2 buffs.

In-line with what Smarrgasm said, I could see Shazam, Bladam and Zod getting them due to canon. But from a balance perspective I wouldn't dare give one to Bladam.

im surprised green lantern and Shazam dont have them but maybe because Shazam walks

Shazam should IMO have been given an airdash and/or the ability to teleport/phase in air to begin with.

Green Lantern doesn't need one because he can air turbine smash and Black Adam doesn't need one because he can divekick. Zod also doesn't need an airdash because he can do his grab special in the air. Only character other than Shazam who is worthy of an air dash would be Sinestro, but that might make him OP with his air axe.

I'd be ok with characters that can traditionally fly, or have some other kind of enhancing ability that would make sense getting them. But as a trade off thier ground mobility must not be as good and non air dash chars should noticably outclass them on the ground. You can't have a top normal dash and a great air dash IMO. Of course there would have to be other tweaks but that's my .02

GREEN LANTERN NEEDS AN AIR DASH.

lol jk. I mean, if shazam had one, that would be pretty good. Otherwise, I think its fine.

lol... air dashes .... when done low to the ground and correctly... destroy d2s. Especially since the attack afterward basically touches the ground

again... if the characters could move better on the ground... this wouldn't be as big of an issue. Baiting Air dash attacks would then become the norm.... and create a new meta in that respect.

Giving one to Shazam, yeah, maybe. Everyone else? God no.

And if you're getting caught by slow-ass airdash crossups, man...
So if the opponent tries to crossover me when I am knocked down, I prepare to punish and they air dash to reverse my controls and blow me up, then it is my fault?

If you do them close enough to the ground it is basically an instant double crossup.

Before I seen your comment I was thinking that in my head. Shazam should have one too. You're right.

Like I said, I would be happy if they just took them out.

Characters that have them sure as hell dont need them lol

well in all fairness green lanterns turbine is alot slower and more punishable then all the rest of those moves, also wonder woman has an air charge move and an air dash. im not saying he needs it though (he's at least top 10)
