General/Other 1.06 Shazam Patch Notes

[SAREDODEVIL]

B23 make a combo, nice, now you can use the b23 and continue with f22 and HM MB, B3 F223HM, 1 bar combo.

 

[Shawi]

No! It needs to be b23, b3 ji3 f223 HM - No Bar combo. Or a second option of b23 xtraitx 22 HMmb b3 ji2 F223 Hm. These, if possible would be perfect! As long as b23 is safe, that gives Shazam a chance against top tiers.

 

[SAREDODEVIL]

No! It needs to be b23, b3 jib f223 HM - No Bar combo. Or a second option of b23 xtraitx 22 HMmb b3 ji2 F223 Hm. These, if possible would be perfect! As long as b23 is safe, that gives Shazam a chance against top tiers.

totally agree, men

 

[Mortal Komhat]

No! It needs to be b23, b3 ji3 f223 HM - No Bar combo. Or a second option of b23 xtraitx 22 HMmb b3 ji2 F223 Hm. These, if possible would be perfect! As long as b23 is safe, that gives Shazam a chance against top tiers.

I don't think we'll get b23, b3 sadly but I guess we'll know for sure when the patch hits.

knowing nrs and how much they despise shazam, I'm thinking the timing will be super tight for linking moves after it and you will only be able to link like 112 torpedo lol

 

[DarkPage]

i was thinking like b23, j2, 112 torpedo

 

[SaJa]

About the b23 I just see an opportunity to do a wall combo from further.

yeah I highly doubt youll be able to b3 off of it

 

[SaJa]

Why are you talking about b3 ? corner combos = 112 112 112

 

[Mortal Komhat]

Midscreen exists ;.;

 

[zoofs]

by wall combo i was assuming you meant b3 lol, never seen anyone call a corner combo a "wall combo"

 

[Shawi]

If I can't do a b3 after it, what is the point. I thought the whole idea was for us to get good meterless damage?
Maybe we can trait after it and go into HM, which is why they decided to nerf the trait a bit. I just hope when the patch comes out, they will have fixed the hopping aspect and made it safer on block, heck imagine if it was +3 on block, it'd become like BA's b23 lol.

Also, message in general, if you've got tech, share it. Although for some reason I'm thinking the string MagicMan is referring to is the 1,2,f3 string by process of elimination.

12F3 and 12B3 if they don't tech roll you have so many mind games to setup and they have good wall carry too. (if they do you can still bait the roll)

I don't really see how you can do anything special off of those strings if they don't tech roll that you couldn't do off of 112 if they don't.

I thought the trait change was that it properly scales damage since it doubles it currently.

Also, quick question, does Shazam actually have meterless midscreen damage?

 

[ZigZag]

he benefits hella from the mb b3/f3 buff. imagine you have trait on and you read a catwoman mb cat dash. you mb b3 then f3 for like 45% unclashable damage

She's getting 2 hits of armour in her buff so this is pointless against a MB dash.

 

[EGP Wonder_Chef]

Also, quick question, does Shazam actually have meterless midscreen damage?

He does! It's along the lines of 18%! Maximum is 26% off of his slowest string!

So good!

 

[EGP Wonder_Chef]

no because the armor ends after the attack ends, so you would absorb the hit then b3 would hit her

Of course, didn't have my thinking cap on.

 

[Mortal Komhat]

None whatsoever until the patch hits. Then it's up in the air. (IIRC we can get 27% and that's if we successfully land a f223 string naked).

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

Fuck accidently deleted my comment. I'll repost it: Not a Shazam player but just saying the universal B3/F3 buff and the Throw Immunity nerf is something you should all look at.

 

[Mortal Komhat]

Those are interesting, no doubt, but Shazam's b3 is absurdly bad. The hitbox doesn't extend very much in front of him (as opposed to other notable b3s) and while it is affected by the trait by virtue of it being a punch, you're not gonna get MB B3 anytime soon.

F3 is not my area of expertise so I really couldn't tell you much beyond comboing after it is kind of blah for Shazam.

 

[Li1mightymouse]

No! It needs to be b23, b3 ji3 f223 HM - No Bar combo. Or a second option of b23 xtraitx 22 HMmb b3 ji2 F223 Hm. These, if possible would be perfect! As long as b23 is safe, that gives Shazam a chance against top tiers.

Why turn on the trait when the only maximum damage you'll get is off of the b3? Wouldn't it be better to just b23 xtraitx 22 HMmb b3 ji3 112 torpedo, then teleport for more pressure? That 112 with trait will probably do more damage.

I use mb f3 a lot, but never b3

 

[DarkPage]

What if you can just b23 twice then meter burn grab b3 j2 grab for like 45 percent or something tht would be sick
