I will soon

What do you mean?

 

[SimSim]

U wanna possibly do some tech stuff tonight?

I was gonna show u but ill just tell u. I've added a whole new bag of tricks w my rush down and boy does it work and actually opens up all other options more

SPECIFICALLY awesome vs Aquaman who can not trait out of f3 hit when rushed down by ZOD and connects it

It's why we can't do 12 MB laser anywhere cause it's a free out for him

That makes sense! I might add that slash~f3 combos if you "plink" it. Might be counter prdouctive in the AM matchup, but in frame traps he won't have time to trait up on reaction.

And as for tech stream: Since we live in such different timezones and you seem to stream incredibly late I think I need to know if you are going to stream in advance to join you. I just woke up to make myself ready for a lecture today, and it is what, 00:30 in Atlanta?

f3, j2 xx zod ball, 4, j2 xx slow zod ball, j2 xx fast slow ball, dash, 112 xx MB zod charge = 45%

Edit: Why did you want this specific situation?

this combo is very hard

 

[SimSim]

this combo is very hard

After f3, you jump forward 2 in to normal zod ball, then right after you hit, you press 4, then jump forward and do j2 xx slow ball, then simply jump forward and do j2 xx fast ball, dash, 112 xx ender

You can add another slash in your combo if that helps you, as it doesn't alter the damage.

I got the combo down pretty fast. Should be possible to do consistently

I am 6 hours ahead of you. Spoiler alert: The future doesn't look bright:/

only one i can do consistently is f3 ji3 late before landing then 4 then 34 112 zc 39%

Get yourself a stick good sir I will try to find a more practical combo for you some time soon, but I am sure you could get my combo down if you figured out the timing

 

[Smarrgasm]

Zod wins 6-4 because of jump back zod ball and thats literally almost all you have to do until trait is back. Then you get to just mix me up for free or just chip me a bunch.

Hitting him out of jump back zod ball with Black magic and not trading is extrememely hard. He just outzones and out chips Adam all over the board.

The only way to really take control is to force Zod to the corner and hope he doesnt escape, he does to Black Adam what Black Adam does to 90% of the cast.

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

he does to Black Adam what Black Adam does to 90% of the cast.

Bingo

Here's one for you then, since you seem to be using Trait.

f3 ji3(late) d4 charge heat zap j2 xx Zod Ball 123 PS. Does 42% without meter

Not doing the Zod ball, but doing a MB PS will still do 43%

Forgot you could d4 them and just time a ground blast!

Edit: I found your combo much harder to do than the one I mentioned, because you have to time the blast to hit as the trait throws Aquaman away and it's hard to do the j2 xx ball after this. I can do my combo 9/10 times now with little pratice. I might have described the timing wrong though. Here is a video of it:

You actually need to do the first slash, after the j2 xx ball, late.

 

[Colonel-Gilgamesh]

It's really quite easy. I get it all the time. Back/forward dashing may help the timing

After f3, j2 xx it's better to do normal ball than slow ball, as it won't miss even if you mess up the timing a little. As for balls not coming out: Try to go neutral as you jump before you hit 2, then do the fireball motion. The important part is starting the motion after you hit the j2. 41% is still good though, so don't fret

I may be flapping my gums here, im at work so I can't check, but can you link F3 with 123 and build something from that? Maybe dash in after 123?
