How in god's name am i supposed to fight superman. I cant zone with him and f2 stops me from dashing or trying to torpedo in. I'm just being kept out and bodied hard on punishes here, what's the meta?
The hardest part is teleport through his lasers. Its doable but takes good reactions. After his F2 it becomes a guessing game. You can step back and get out of it or back dash. If he does this then he can punish with Superman punch. If he does F23 Breathe and does nothing You can HM him. But if he does another F23 after it you get punished. When he gets you in the corner if he goes for a F23 after F23 Breathe you can punish him with D1. But you only have 2 frames to punish it. You command Grab is your Footsie tool in this game. Punish his wiffed F23 with it. I noticed some superman like to backdash after certain moves punish it with Torpedo although this is risky. Never do yolo torpedo ever or else you will lose. His WU game is okay. They can all be stuffed. But this requires effort to learn how to do it. You can punish Rising Grab with D2, You can also punish a Blocked OTG Superman Dive with D2. D2 is also pretty good foostie tool in this MU. Just watch out because he can wiff punish you with F2. Its a tough MU but doable.

I have to adjust to using HM more in footsies I think. I was trying to get him with all of my normals instead, which of course doesn't work hardly ever... The corner felt like prison for me lol

Being in the corner is the worst. If your playing the MU Online then life fucking sucks. Your going to have block lasers and be more patient. If you learn how to teleport them online the your the best. If you hit him with a D1 you have the option to get him with an AC or HM its a guess. Or you can go for the actual Combo with is D1 Torpedo. Which connects. This can get you out of the corner. Your D2 has good range. So it can be used as well in footies. Just remember his F2 is faster and has amazing range also. Shazams D2 is safe don't forget that. Its like -3 i think. OH if Superman does F23 Trait you can punish it with D2. If you see him doing F23 trait F23 you can punish him after the trait. So make sure to do that. Your J2 is also a great Air normal.
