Dick has moved up after this patch...big time.

Supes is way easier to deal with (not easy, but easier) and BA is much more punishable for doing things he shouldn't do now.

The MB Staff Spin buff was welcome as it made his corner combos insanely easy, and upped it by a few percent. (50% no jump in 2 bars, 52% with jump in, 47% one bar combos).

GL not being able to negate your entire wakeup game and continue his offense is huge as well. Played a local GL this morning who beat me 5-3 during our last outing (First time he has ever taken a ft5 from me) and after the patch (knowing his OTG setups weren't going to work) I mopped him 5-1.

Everyone is adjusting now, but Dick is still as potent as ever.

I don't think he really moved up at all, he's in the exact same spot probably.

His bad matchups got better, but so did a few of his good ones. His corner combos are the same, but are just a bit easier to pull off. I usually don't like spending bar on MB staff spin corner combos unless it's gonna kill/off of 2 in staff anyway. The changes to staff spin help those matchups for sure though.

Yeah, I find that out. It sucks that it's out of raw EF after b2.
Didn't see anything in the thread or on the Youtube vid so I figured I'd post up. *shrug*

I mean yeah it sucks that it's not hitconfirmable but it's good to know that it's there and it works.

Yeah, it's definitely good to know. I was dissapointed stuff like b2, into d2 and then something didn't work.

At least his setups off of b2 are good without the u3 thing.

No we won't, not while Superman is around ;) That matchup didn't change that much. It's definitely easier to keep him honest of course, but not by much.

Hahha, I'm not in your local meta, I just know mine isn't changing. I have Supes, Lantern and Deathstroke all around :)

As a spectator this patch is awesome, as a player, not really.

Yeah, but the Supes players here are top notch, and we have Wonder Chef's GL also.

Besides Superman, I feel comfortable in all matchups. I don't know how how the matchup has changed yet, but I'm curious to try it.

Being able to jump over BAs low lightning in staff stance feels GREAT. Caught a whole bunch of BAs off guard with that online today.
