Who is Deadshot's Worst Match-up?

[Paul the Octopus]

His worst matchup = wired internet connection

 

[Redk9]

You guys should really be asking foxy what his opinion on this is. He's obviously playing deadshot at a level most can't comprehend

 

[Skedar70]

Also, do you recommend Grodd to anyone?If you do, would you mind citing some reasons why?I was kind of scared of him having a high execution requirement, how bad is it?

His execution is high if you can't do the stampede cancels its too hard to open the opponent up and that is not it, his combos are also a little hard. I'm not sure he has favorable MU, but he does have some extra options against some characters. For example Subzero, projectiles and clone are covered by his projectile immunity, he shuts down Atrocitus cat with the immunity also. Other than that I think he is a fair fight with many characters and has many unfavorable MU.

Wait a sec...
Grodd had a favorable match-up against pre-patch atro?
OmegaK was our saviour all along since launch!

Ps.Do you mind sampling a combo?

 

[PLAYING TO WIN]

Except SG is a 5-5

I said hard mu's. Where did I say losing?

Foxy is a top 5 NRS player of all time and used to main catwoman. That's why he beat semijj...barely. The most important thing he did was stay out of j2 range and when he was in it he went in. He also read backdashes after block b3, did slight step forward, b1 to punish. Pretty sure semij didn't know about that.

Hard MU often mean losing MU but whatever

 

[ABACABB]

supes is bad too

 

[protools27]

I think catwoman has all the tools needed to contend with deadshot. It's not as much in her favor as pre-patch, but as others have mentioned, her j2, low whip, and evade all help in the match.

For what it's worth, I think deadshot would be easier to deal with if his wake up wasn't as invincible.

 

[Fred Marvel]

deadshot is still broken lol i thought this was common knowledge

 

[PunkMafia83]

How is everyone feeling about darkseid? I know it might just be struggling but any advice is appreciated in that match up.

Characters I struggle with
Green Arrow
Supergirl
Catwoman
Cheetah
Darkseid.

I know I am playing the sub zero matchup wrong that's something I have to work on

 

[Kotal_Wannabe]

Supes is not bad for deadshot, try playing harley vs supes and you'll know what a bad matchup is. Supes is so much easier for me as deadshot. Only characters i struggle with are cheetah, catwoman, and green arrow as deadshot.

[BlackJackSnack]

Catwoman, cheetah and super girls are his hardest matchups.

I agree with these characters for sure,

Besides the characters stated I personally struggle playing against darkseid, robin and believe it or not scarecrow

But it could be I just dont know the matchup like I should lol

Just spam straight shot and use heavy assult when you have a read on the omega beam.DO NOT MB the rifle unless you are 100% sure he will take the chip, instant jump 1 the teleport; you know the rest.Make sure you abuse his terrible frames, his only adavntageous moves are 112 and mb knee.

Just push-block scarecrow whenever he mb's fear-ferno; get rid of his plus frames.Instant air j1 for a2a'ing his long start-up jump 3.

The only real trick about taking down robin is poking him whenever he throws birdarang and interrupting when he isn't plus.Never checked his cancel frames so ask someone else on this thread.Zone him, zone him hard and make him get frustrated from range.

Tbh why the hell are you having trouble with deadshot's 6-4 mu'sobin and crow

You should watch someone else zone with Deadshot because you seem to have trouble playing to your character's strenghts.

Has ECT changed anyone's thoughts on this? Is Deadshots worst match up the mirror match?

 

[PND OmegaK]

Grodd goes even with him

 

[Zoidberg747]

I'd argue that CW is a definite bad MU for him. I personally don't buy Cheetah beating him because of his j1 but i'm not a DS or Cheetah player so my opinion should be taken with a grain of salt. I could see an argument for Green Arrow as well.

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

Cat woman

 

[RevetLeafing]

Cheetah destroys him

 

[PetulantWaste]

Green Arrow is 5-5-ish but if you lose the life lead and you have to go in you're fucked.

 

[Vigilante24]

I don't think Wowo vs Deadshot is that bad. It feels doable. I think Dragon might not have a ton of experience with that MU though.

 

[Kotal_Wannabe]

Cheetah destroys him

btw, can u update ur cheetah matchup chart? I'm interested to see how it looks now.

 

[Invincible Salads]

If supergirl is favored then Foxy just destroyed Aixy on esl europe, those gap counters were crazy!

what did he counter supergirls gaps with?

Hard MU often mean losing MU but whatever

5-5s are hard if you main Deadshot lul

 

[Ludi]

Cheetah, SG, Brainiac
