"I still got it...but not much of it"
Just increase the scaling on dive kick and f12 combos, leave the trait as it is.
Basically what I suggested to someone before.
I don't get why you think a special that can be block confirmed to make it safe with meterburn is any less dumb than a special you have to commit the meter to make it safe?
So he generally does less damage, his dive kick becomes unusable, and he gets a permanent Bane venom debut???
Cause its a differents to Invest a bar to Keep It SAFE not PLUS or Invest a bar to get a Full Combo on hit OR to be PLUS on block
Bad examples. Comparing Black Adam's strings and normals to run cancels doesn't work because the run cancels required a lot of practice and execution to get right. Black Adam does not have strings/normals that require a lot of practice in either the neutral or combos, meaning that if you nerf them you don't have to relearn the character.
Always said if I could make *one* change to Black Adam it would be to remove the ability of the trait to kill. Not even Trident Rush is as anti hype IMO as INJ 1 and 2 Black adam laming it up until he can trait and dash in. Even with other proposed nerfs he'll still have plenty of tools, so make him earn the damn kill.
But you literally suggested they nerf his damage. With your version of Adam, you can't use dive kick outside of a punish (but what? bane's whiffed charge?) or a hard read. Read wrong, you just spent a bar for what would have been mediocre damage (you nerfed the damage) and are now at -40, so get b3'ed into 60% damage meterless because you nerfed his health.
I love this idea. Sure, black adam's combos still do 600 damage. But your combos hurt him just as much with this solution
Ok, now I know what I'm dealing with. Almost everything you listed here is sooo wrong, not worth discussing balance changes. My favorite:I think that his damage and divekick are not the only problems.
He has one of the best jump arcs in the game (try to zone him while he is jumping and compare it with other characters), his trait takes soooo long, kills the opponent and the cooldown is not bad, his f1,2 string is totally safe and the last hit is an overhead, his d1 is 6 frames, good range, -4 on block (mash mash mash) and he can special cancel it with his trait and df1, he can do cyrax level HTBs with his orb at the corner, he can jump on everyone cause his j2 has a huge hitbox that reaches even the tip of the back of his foot (lmao) and cross-up, but no one can jump on him cause his D2 is thaaaat good (7 frames and phantom hitbox), plus frames with the trait, you can't zone him cause of the divekick + jump arc + his zoning/anti-zoning specials, he is pretty much safe on everything... he has much more things about why he is so busted, but i gotta go to the gym now
No idea we had cyrax level htbs with bombs, yeah those have probably got to go.
This might also serve as a buff, the airborne properties make the mid and even overhead portion of the string whiff occasionally on ducking characters.
Agreed, I actually like the airborne state he's in, leads for a clean D2 punish very often even under the mid.
Yeah he's broken he beats Batman 10-10
