What are his problems? If you are at liberty of speaking.
I thought he was a grappler, what with his two command grabs and all. Plus he doesn't really have armor. Or does he? I thought his main thing was his smoke away/smoke towards and his psycho crusher thing that passes through people.
I hear he isn't that great. What's good about him? What are his strengths?Been playing Shazam for a couple hours now. Having loads of fun. Character seems to have some serious juice. Feel free to ask away.
Ok I'll get you that pic today I wasn't looking at the forums yesterday to often.
I like his knockdown game. You have plenty of ways to end combos in a hard knockdown with cool mixup options after.
His down 2 gets beat by most jump-ins and teleport is punishable on its super slow start up.
Have you tried using alternate controls?
if you ex the standing command grab at the end of the combo you can b+3 and get the stage transition for free damage at the end of the comboCorner BnB that ends with you still facing the corner and them sucking their thumbs in it.
(Excuse my notations if they look kinda weird, had no clue how to exactly write them out for ppl to understand)
f223, 112, f12 xx Crouch Grab EX (sorry on move names), Standing Grab
The combo is just 36-38% but its more position based.
Then you follow this with a dash up D1 into his glomp mixups.
After the EX Crouch Grab you'll be facing away from the corner so just learn to do your Standing Grab input correctly, but yeah this puts them right back into the corner and gives great space for 1 dash and time to get things going. Its my BnB right now. Right now my whole mixup after that corner combo is dash up 1 into the usual grabs but also dash up D1 delay till the D1 frames are just ending into B2 (which is amazing btw guys get on dat) which then perfectly puts me in the corner for the B2 started combo and actually I've just rinse repeated the Cr.Grab EX into Standing Grab again into a different mixups over and over. Had a nice comeback on a dude just putting him into this vortex lol
Well enjoy, tell me if you guys find something else cool out of it, but for now I think this is the ideal corner BnB for the big guy. You'll see
Ah betty nice! Gonna throw that in when I just need the damage to end it already! Ty good sir
Can you back dash out of it?
idk if people have different backdash properties, but when I tested it GL couldn't backdash out. it's hella cheap.
I just tested this in training mode and you are correct. It looks like even if they hold down back on wake-up it still grabs them as they are standing up. It almost seems like you can command grab the get up animation if you time it right.
yeah that's how grundy works too. it was definitely a playstyle plan by the devs. spacing on the knockdown is perfect. I have so much juice for this now. it's too nice.
Yeah, I've been using Alt. Ughhhhhhh I need to work on my inputs.
Nice dude gonna land that combo into interact able. Wanna make a video showing that corner vortex off that BnB for everyone, and Ty for the shout out as well on the combo
Arturo mentioned this on stream the other day. On get up you are forced to stand for the first frame, which makes it possible to catch people with a well timed standing command grab. They can still get out of it with a wakeup attack, but they can't jump, duck, or even back dash. Shazam's command grab is I think the fastest in the game (10f?), and impossible to react to, so once you've conditioned them to this they essentially have to guess.
