Why doesn't Sinestro's trait prevent Batman from doing whatever he wants? Including jumping. Speaking of which, Sinestro's D2 is pretty handy too. Bats punish B12 and it's obviously a big deal. Batman's ability to duck fear blast from about 3/4 of the screen allows him to get in and get his pressure started easier. But A) I don't think he outzones Sinestro. Actually, he definitely doesn't, and B) bats punishing B12 doesn't mean "he can do whatever he wants." I think you're overstating the match-up. You're acting like the moment the Batman player presses 4, you're supposed to stand there and do nothing like Zod just activated his trait.
Batman's trait cancels out Sinestro's. In most instances, Batman can cover his ass with bats and Sinestro MIGHT be able to get the trait shot off but he will not be able to convert it into a combo because of the trade. Batman definitely does outzone Sinestro. Bats win trades with the fear blast and they may be slower but they usually come out in time because of the fear blast's travel distance. To make things worse, if Batman chooses not to shoot back and instead block, he can punish fear blast from really far away because of his bats and the absurd negative frames that Sinestro is at after a fear blast. As for the D2 thing, it is really overrated in this MU. Smart Batman players will only jump when they are in my face because the hitbox on D2 is in front of Sinestro and the move itself is slow, which means that he must blindly throw it out to try and catch Batman jumping; it is fully punishable if it is blocked. You are also downplaying Batman's trait because it is essentially the same as Sinestro's. While Batman is pressuring people he can at any time choose to release the bats and punish them for trying to poke out; it is the exact same as Sinestro, not to mention its effectiveness as a defensive tool. Batman basically can block string you forever because of this fact and nobody can block him forever. You have to react to his low, overhead string and his DUMB jump normals that even Batmen can't tell whether or not they will cross up. The point of bats is not the block advantage, it is the spacing and the fact that it forces you to stop moving. Making them whiff isn't that big of a deal because it still forces you to stop moving or to do something that Batman can punish.

ooops

Also, I acknowledge that Sinestro has the oki game going for him in the matchup which is why it is not a catastrophic MU. But you have to acknowledge that Batman being able to punish all of Sinestro's footsie tools with bats, and the fact that bats and batarangs outzone and outfootsie Sinestro. Sinestro being able to take advantage of him on knockdown is not a good enough reason to instantly make the MU 5-5. The neutral game is more important.
I'll tell you what. Find one Batman that can beat my Sinestro in a long set and I'll call it Batman's favor. Shouldn't be too hard to do it if it's in Batman's favor.

I think that's a fair and easy suggestion. Until then, 5-5 :)

I mean come on, you have to see it from my point of view. If I BODY every Batman I play with Sinestro, not just like going back and forth but literally like 15-0 or something other Batmans with my Sinestro, and my Sinestro isn't even the greatest...... How do you expect me to easily say that Batman wins the matchup? If not a single Batman can touch my Billnestro, what does that say about the matchup? I need more than just words to convince me, I need to experience it, I need to see it with my own eyes through gameplay.

Hate bringing up this topic again, but I gotta keep the truth free from all the slander, lol.
First, the only time you've played my batman was in the mirror at SCR. Other then that, it was your MMH against my AM. Any talk of playing my BM vs your sinestro is you pulling stuff from out of nowhere or dreaming of playing me in the MU (please be dreaming of me in your sleep). I wouldn't mind taking you up on that mm offer though!

Secondly, I'm sure you must be thanking the heavens for the fact that all the past BM mirrors vs Slayer haven't been recorded, because I know he's bested you in mirror for quite some time now. ;) But hey, no proof, so saying you've never lost the mirror is a statement that should rest well on your conscious :rolleyes:

Lastly, I think BM/Sinestro is a 5-5 MU. It's hard having an honest conversation about it though when team sinestro can't even acknowledge that their trait is helpful in the MU and gets a 50/50 opportunity off a majority of oki scenarios against BM.
Didn't we do the Batman vs Sinestro match online? My bad I might have been thinking about another Batman. No worries bro sorry for throwing your name into the mix.
You can try the matchup if you want, I got account to finally start working on XBL again. I don't think Batman wins at all, Sinestro has everything he needs to deal with Batman.
And about the whole me vs Slayer thing, me and Slayer have played the mirror like 10 different sets and yes there was a ft3 that he beat me in once at MLG, but I was drunk/high playing on the hotel TV :) Slayer is awesome though I def think he could beat me in a tournament set

Lol i don't care even a little bit about your sinestro against another batman. It would just prove that most batmen are bad.

You can do that too, you know. :)

And no, I am not talking about with your Aquaman.
AA Sinestro with Batman's D2? The problem is with Sinestro, you never know if he's going to do air axe or cross up J3. The timing of your uppercut has to be different (especially if he's doing air axe relatively low to the ground). You could easily get blown up. It's pretty feasible if you knew for sure which option he was going with, but the guessing game is rough.

Oh, I agree, my comment wasn't matchup-specific. I just had to troll Nubcakes. ;)

I never did demonstrate a solid handling of the Batman vs. Sinestro match-up so I'm in no position to give advice.

So i wonder who's top tier in that new game. DMC: internet edition! I hear Dick Measuring Contest DLC got leaked.

Story ends with the main character being salty about the truth. Followed by saying he's done with the sport and quits. Then months later tries to climb the mountain going back on his word on quitting. At this point pops off saying everyone is beneath them. At the climax, proceed to do nothing and hide behind the "I wasn't taking it seriously" shield.

Then the time loop starts --
