General/Other Aquaman 1.06 Changes

Name v.5.0

The thing of it is, is that Aquaman ISNT that broken. He doesnt have half the shit some people do with mix ups and ambiguous cross ups. He's also fairly unsafe when without trait. People just hated his "free combo breaker" when they theorycrafted.

Here are the characters I can think of off the top of my head who can combo AM unless it's used preemptively or if youre a Jedi:

Superman, Green Arrow, Raven, Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl, Shazam, Grundy, Lex, Catwoman, Nightwing, MMH, Bane...

I wish people would realize there are ways to nullify the trait. Just gotta think past your own BnBs. Even if I'm ok with it, I honestly dont think Aquaman needed a nerf.

Hey, Tom Brady

Now you have to wait 12 seconds before trying to combo Superman or Green Lantern. WHAT FUN RIGHT!?!?

Prepare to get counter picked every time you fight.

That's what I'm tryin' to say for like 10 minutes on the other thread...whatever. Injustice is fun for me either way

So, basically the same still, right? Just gotta wait three more seconds for trait to recharge. Since he is a defensive beast it shouldn't be hard.

Fairly unsafe? You only ever need 2 moves for his offense
B12 and F13, hardly unsafe lol.
Especially considering F1 is +

Superman will not be a counter to Aquaman, and Green Lantern never was and still will not be.

You're THE Aquaman guy and I definitely respect what you're saying, but are there seriously any worse matchups for Aquaman right now than Superman, Green Lantern, Black Adam, and maybe Hawkgirl? I'm not saying they are anything other than 5-5. I just feel those characters give me the most trouble as an Aquaman player.

I'd rather play a BA than a Superman or GL any day...
 
Neithr GL nor HG beat Aquaman. He for sure beats HG, I think he beats GL but that MU is 5-5 at worst.

BA was by far is worst and possibly only losing MU

WATER!!!
Am I hallucinating, or did Aquaman's B12 string get a range nerf just like Superman's F23?
I swear that I could hit opponents at match start with B1 before the v1.06 patch...
