Wonder Woman General Discussion Thread

I'm enjoying playing her, and don't think she's trash but I still don't understand WHY she's a completely new character? She wasn't OP or broken in Inj1? I don't think she even made any top 8's?
She's one of, if not the top 3 most popular DC characters, alongside maybe Flash, Bat, Supes, who are all legacy characters in this game.....so why the change?
Heck besides Blue Beetle, there's no other 'stance switch characters' so she'd be unique.
Also, out of all the strings from both stances in IGAU, she got one whip string, and not a single string which uses her shield, so really the shield/whip buffs aren't even that useful.

She's still really fun and I like her because I'm a really patient/defensive player, but I just don't understand why she had to change?

What's up my people? Would someone mind sharing a current Discord invitation for the Wonder Woman channel please?

Don't think there is one.

To answer those questions she was ridiculously good in Injustice 1, not top 5 good but just outside. As for top 8s, Foxy Grampa placed in an early EU tournament. EliteGoomba at KIT and FilipinoMan in....a tournament I can't remember lol.

Hopefully somebody finds this reset of use midscreen!

Damn the set up master is at it again, love your work will definitely implement this

Nice work. Technically that shouldn't be called a " reset ". It is just an ambiguous jump setup but thanks for finding that. I reckon they can probably tech roll to escape that but it would be a good test to check em with.

• Sacrifice damage for positioning and setups

They can tech roll out.

Just curious, are any Wonder Woman players planning on going to Evo, either as spectators or competitors?

I'll be there.

I'm hoping next year to plan a vacation to make it out for a day or two, I've never gone before. Hopefully a solid WW makes it on stream.

 

[Yoaks]

I was planning on it but then real life is like "noooooooooooooope."

This character is so much fun. I think I finally found my secondary

...how do you think shes fun?

 

[Gooberking]

...how do you think shes fun?

And here I thought the question was "WTF, secondary?"

Going to have to start revoking some WoWo cards around these parts.

 

[SadoDragon]

Yea WoWo is a lot fun once you get use to the match ups and her parry is godlike finding so many dirty punish with it lol

 

[Akromaniac27]

...how do you think shes fun?

At least for me, shes fun because she's entirely methodical and fundamental based. She has an answer for just about every situation but isn't OP in any sense, so you know when you win, you definitely earned it. You didn't get the win with her by some stroke of the luck mixing that costs you nothing, or some half screen advancing string that gives you more options afterwards, making opening an opponent up inevitable. She's fun because she straight out outplays everyone no matter if its a winning, losing or even MU and I honestly don't know what could feel more rewarding.

 

[JujuMania]

parry is godlike

Are there any good posts, literature, video, etc. for some help with her parry? I literally never use it because I still don't know how to incorporate it into my game plan.

I assume you need to use it on the final hit of a string and that you cannot use it unless there is a 5f gap in the string. I am also unsure on what kind of frame adv I have after a parry.

EDIT - Better yet...should I just be parrying everything in the "Gaps" video that is posted on the front Injustice 2 page? https://testyourmight.com/threads/every-combo-gap-special-move-gap-in-injustice-2.64283/

She was fun last game because of her mobility, meterless damage, mixups, and rushdown style. This game shes just... no.

 

[TheGabStandard]

There are plenty of people who have fun using the character, it is just whatever floats people's boats.

 

[Kiko]

Wonder Woman's D2 is actually amazing now. J2 Batman's should be worried.

Um how....they nerfed it -___- it doesn't hit behind her

I never had issues hitting behind WW, it was the issue of hitting people above WW. Not sure if it's ever happened to you but the D2 gets wonky if someone's jumping over you.


Edit: Haven't tried it in game was going only off the patch notes, have you tried it?

I must be doing something wrong then because I'm digging her.

I didn't touch her in IJ1. She was a stance switcher in IJ1 right? I'm 90% auto-out on stance switchers.

Its better to not know how fun and great she was in IJ1 so you aren't totally disappointed in this game.

Yeah her character power was stance switch, and it was bad, but not really as useless lolzbad as her RNG trait in this game.

in IJ1 she had air dash, forward advancing string, quick safe low starter, special full screen air dash attack, quick large b2 whip attack, good d2, incredible meterless damage.

They took all that away from IJ1 and replaced it with.... nothing.
