lol MK9 has no real footsies. Play SF for real ones lol.

GGs Gurimmjaw last night and i4ni_Reaver although we didn't play in the KoTH.
so any war squad members wanna go tonight and let me tryout?I got 1 win and lookin to get 2 more.
Yeah ggs man. I finally understand the bad thing I was doing with Scorpion. I was so impatient and teleporting like a maniac lol. After some games I played a more patient Scorpion and did much better.

I could play you if you want to play another war squad member to play.

thanks man I will. I just looked, on page 57 of our convo 2.0 ghost said for that coming Friday it was ft3 for war squad. that's why I was mistaken. but good thing we play more games. lol. I was messing with Babs. she is fun to play. between Scorp and babs, its hard to figure out which one I will be better with. I wish I could cut the bullshit and just be good with shazam. lol.

It depends but imo the best secondaries for a Superman main are the following:

Scorpion- He takes care of the zoning characters so he perfect for a Superman main

Black Adam- There match ups are pretty much the same.

Green Arrow- He takes care of Hawkgirl

Ares- Just like Scorpion he takes care of zoners.

well lets put it this way. at my locals my biggest challenge will be Blindman's Raven, a good zoning Cyborg and flash. based on that who would you suggest?

Well to deal with zoning characters Scorpion is the one to get the job done. vs Flash you can use Superman still.

Black Adam would also be a great choice but Scorpion deals with the zoners better so Scorpion or Black Adam will be your best options.

GGS to Everlast_724. Was fun playing you. Sorry we didn't talk on mic. I disconnected it and was having a few problems with it.

I would just like to give you some suggestions for your Superman game and well general gameplay to help you on your way but don't take this the wrong way, you are a good player.

1. Don't abuse the low scoop wake up. Im telling you this will hurt you... A LOT!!! You will get punished for it. Imo it best to use rising grab on wake up wake up. You never see me using low scoop on wake up. It way too risky to use.

2. Don't just rely on F23xxtrait grab tech use others too for grab type techs. I caught onto it after your 2nd attempt. A lot of Superman players will use this but I don't use it as people know this tech by now.

3. Jumping. Now a lot can jump so im not saying don't jump but when you jumped in front of me I made a lot of reads when you would jump and beat you with a jumping attack. So keep that in mind.

4. Put more into your gameplan. Combos are not the only improtant thing man. But blockstrings are also important. This is why I kept going on about that stuff I was talking about in our PM convo.

5. Backdashes. Now you can backdash but keep in mind backdashes can be punished. Flying punch easily punishes that.

6. Be more patient. Play smart not hard. Do not get greedy because it can cost you the match.

7. Make use of Superman's B1. What I like to do is use a jumping attack and then go into B1 which is very useful. B1 is a very underrated tool of Superamans. It is also good when opponent knocked down.

I would say you mainly need to work on patience. I had you coming to me in a lot of our matches. I am willing to help you out if you want me to help you. And that includes with the match vs Scorpion too. You know im a Superman main all you have to do ask me and you know i'll help you out or any of my NRF brothers lol.

Many might not tell you this, but while MU experience is also important there is also something else. Player knowledge. This is what I use. You can win against anyone even if you lack MU experience and got knowledge on the player. What im saying is if you can adapt to that players playstyle and read there moves you can do really good. I adapt to each and all players I play. I think that the most important thing is getting inside the head of your opponent and knowing how to beat them.


I hope you do follow my advise as it will help you and also study matches and watch videos of other Superman players. And you don't really need a secondary as Superman and still a beast lol. Though if you want a character who makes dealing with zoner type characters better then use Scorpion. I can teach you scorpion if you want.

Don't take this the wrong way like im being harsh or anything just trying to help and give you feedback on your gameplay. I know you want to improve and im showing you what your mistakes are.

Yeah i caught it on youtube last night. It's cool stuff and fun to see big numbers. But in reality a lot of these combos arent exactly practical or part of her game. I mean if you can do 72% dmg anytime you do it, but CW has like 7 HKDs and her game is all about 50/50 mix ups. She needs her meter for pressure and getting in. Occasionally for adding dmg on combos.

Some of those double f3 combos are pretty slick. If not impossible online, I'd say very very difficult. I mean I've looked for as much high level CW vids as I can find and have yet to see a double f3 whiff combo outside of combo vids.

Tylerlantern has always been excellent with his combo videos and it was definitely fun to watch. I hope you pick her up she's a blast to play. I'd love to have a fellow CW to play with. Let me know buddah
