Most Useless Strings

[Laos_boy]

Please tell if there are uses for these strings. I obviously don't know everything but I thought it would be fun

I have noticed the most useless string fall under the categories:
- wtf
-random lows that lead to nothing
- those wannabe wall bounces
- have no reason to live because of another string.
- Have so much swag that people don't use them because they're not swaggie enough....

Flash - 113 random low

Batman - 122 Wtf, there is no reason to use this string

Night wing- b122 tthere's no reason to use this over his other moves
- 1d3 ( staff ) no reason to use over 1f1

Cyborg - b231 Wtf...

Superman - b23 or any move that's not f23

Green Arrow - 113 there are just betterstrings in his arsenal

Martian - 11u3 iI guess you could cancel into teleport but on block you could MB b3 on reaction

Raven - f13 this wishes it was as awesome as b23....now that I think about is 11b2 and 11f2 is pretty dumb

Aquaman -f132 not reason not to cancel f13 into trident rush

Wonder woman - 112 there are are just better strings...
- f123 ( sword ) wtf

Zatanna - b1d3 another random low

Hawkgirl - 1f1 there was no need for this string...

Shazam - 12f3 and 12b3 these are basically the same useless string...

Green Lantern - f2d13 wtf

Bat girl - 113 or 11u2d1 fake wall bounce and a wtf...

Lobo - f213 this move has the most swag out of all of them

Joker - f232 like wtf...it has no use at all

Harley Quinn - all her strings are awesome. But 2b3 is pretty useles

Grundy - f223 another swagged out move

Zod - f21u23...K

Lex - 213 fake wall bounce

Catowman - all her strings have class but f2u3 gets a Wtf...

Death stroke - b1d3 zatanna has the exact same string... Low into low best mix up ever!

Scorpion - f22d3 another random ass low

Ares - f1d3 I'm guessing everyone needs a random low...

Killer frost - f21 f2 is already horrible so why did they need to add the Wtf factor to it.

Doomsday - b213 I honestly don't know

Sinestro - 11 u3 has the most swag #kappa

Black Adam - he doesn't really have a useless string

Bane has strings?

Supes B23 is a good call, all his other strings have SOME type of use, for setups or what have you, but B23 is useless AFAIK. It hard knockdowns but so does F2D13 and that has less of a chance to whiff.

 

[Qwark28]

No string of Joker's is useless.

 

[RM NoBrows]

Grundys f22 I use in combos for swag but never do the whole f223. 112 MBSH f3 f22 health trait is all kinds of swag and does decent damage

 

[Chongo]

1d3 has more reach then 1f1 so I use it when I know f1 will whiff. Also leads to a hard knockdown

 

[HP Hatecraft]

I vote for Grundy's slow ass cleaver string.

What do you use f212 for?

What do you use f212 for?

323 into f2 crushes d1s, j3 can be comboed into f232 better than anything else from the right height for about 21% meterless, it's a slightly advancing move that can set up teeth too.

Oh I guess. What about 33¿

 

[xInfra Deadx]

F1,D3 I can get a combo if you're not using a small character...

3,3 though pretty much falls into the crotchless chastity belt tier of usefulness. Actually you can make the Close God Smack hit whether or not you hit or block...but it has heavier damage scaling. (Ares btw)

Have you not seen Catnip's AFK Joker? 3, 3 is broken online!

Sets up teeth from the right ranges and you can use it to bait wakeups depending on what you whiff after it.

 

[ShadowBeatz]

Superman players be like... "post patch F23"

 

[rev0lver]

Lex's 21 has the best cancel advantage of all his strings. It's a free trait on block against most of the cast. For some chars when they look for it you can do 213 instead if they try to press a button.

Everything he has is useful tbh

 

[Laos_boy]

@rev0lver yeah him nightwing wonderwoman and black Adam were hard to pick from. I pick 213 because it was a the pseudo wall bonce and those tend to be useless. I didn't know about 21s cancel adv

 

[RunwayMafia]

Killer Frost- I constantly forget about 1,3, F21, and her B2.

 

[Eldriken]

...there's nothing wrong with Doomsday's b213.

Its startup is slow, sure. But if people are crouch happy, it starts off as an overhead and is special cancellable. It's also safe on block.

It also makes Walking Corpse whiff on wakeup, just like 33. I think it even knocks them out of WCCing into another move. So, it's not 100% useless. You just gotta know what you can do with it.

 

[ando1184]

Arrow's standing 3,3 is used in combo's when you want to push them across the screen and on block can setup a trap for super. IMO he is one of the few characters that has a use for all his strings.

 

[xInfra Deadx]

As a part time Martian player, I can't see a useless string. They all have their uses.

 

[Cossner]

Green Arrow's 33 is not useless at all. He has setups with it midscreen and in the corner.

113 though.... that string is poop.

 

[xInfra Deadx]

Shazam's B1,2,3 is full of derp.

 

[Laos_boy]

Shazam's B1,2,3 is full of derp.

Is that the low string?

 

[EMPEROR PRYCE]

Nw staff 1d3 is great for a hard knockdown into meaty ground pound set up. Beats most wake ups in the game.

I see Noobe do B2 Earthshaker a lot. It's really good for mixing things up.
