Him putting out an Orb Animation has Throw immunity. Thanks NRS.
Wait really?! That's dumb...
Can my throwing teeth give me throw immunity then, since teeth is the poor man's orb anyway?
Needs nerfs!
I say nerf the active frames of his HM too so I don't have to take a 50/50 when he touches me with standing 2. Or just make it more punishable...
Are you serious? I thought you were trolling but this is like the 15th post calling for Shazam nerfs...
Also all of everything Shazam has is punishable. It's not always easy, but considering EVERYTHING is punishable, it shouldn't be easy.
And hold up, your complaint is that you're bad at punishing due to negative edge, so nerf Shazam? Not even, IDK, turning off negative edge or practice punishing him? No, just nerf Shazam?
Yeah... that sounds reasonable.
And yeah... while it's clear MMH is the best character (or incredibly close to it) in the game, people are mad overreacting to him. Go into training room and practice shutting him down. These are all things I don't see anyone do:
-A lot of characters can deal with start of the round trait 3 by backdashing.
-A lot of characters can bully him on knockdown.
-Everyone has multiple universal ways to punish teleports; not reacting to them fast enough mid match is a player problem and not a character problem as his teleports are very much reactable.
-I believe every character can punish blockstrings ending in white orbs.
-Every character can punish Martian Grab on block.
-Every character has options to pressure MMH after a teleport. Depending on the character, those options can be straight punishes, putting him in blockstrings, or putting him in a guessing game (These are usually not in his favor).
Yeah... until we stop letting this character get away with murder, it is way too early to be calling him "The next Kabal", especially when you consider he's nowhere near as bad as some of the pre-patch characters this game has had.
