You can combo after lightning storm? Maybe I named the wrong move, I'm talking about the one where he aims his arms at you and electrocutes the opponent knocking them down.

Ok, I thought thats the one you were talking about. Lets call that Zap from now on lol
IF IT'S NEGATIVE THEN CANCEL IT SON! You have so many things that you can do to keep people in check, not only do you have two or three specials to keep them from getting out of line, but you can all just meter burn cancel any string you want for two bars and get super advantage for a free block string. Black Adam doesn't need continuous pressure, and it really doesn't seem to be what he was designed to do. Like most characters in this game, you have tools to help you if the situation arises, but it isn't you main focus as this character. You don't need to pressure all the time anyways. If you are a little negative or can't keep the pressure up, then just back dash out and throw your LOW projectiles lol. I'm not seeing where he is having issues man. Just because he can't keep pressure up forever doesn't mean it's a problem.
No, I am saying he doesn't have a solution to pokes. You never want to lightning from midscreen. It's a free jump in punish and you can do it on reaction. I don't know. I like to play it safe. Black adams special cancels are safe but still negative so your pressure ends. Then you have to worry about getting poked or jumped on lol.IF IT'S NEGATIVE THEN CANCEL IT SON!

That's exactly what I'm saying! Thank you sir. Keep them in check and make them respect options, then you can contiue pressure if necessary. However I don't think that is the character's primary focus tbh.
Let me ask you this. How are you starting your pressure as black adam?No, I am saying he doesn't have a solution to pokes. You never want to lightning from midscreen. It's a free jump in punish and you can do it on reaction. I don't know. I like to play it safe. Black adams special cancels are safe but still negative so your pressure ends. Then you have to worry about getting poked or jumped on lol.
If I solved the jumping issue I would be more content with the poking one. If I solved the poking issue I would be more content with the jumping one
I mean you can always spend a bar and go for the overhead blowup.
I'm not saying just one back dash and lightning. Adam's back dash is sooo good just back the fuck up to full screen and throw stuff. If they try to hard to chase you down and make a bad dash you can punish. Also, the point of cancelling into specials isn't to keep advantage, but to keep pokes in check. So that way next time you do the exact same string they will have to think about whether you are going to cancel the string or not and take a guess at trying to poke. Dude this isn't Flash I'm sorry, but he isn't going to pressure all day lol. He is only going to be in with advantage for so long before he is just going to have to calm down and play footsies, which he seems to do well.No, I am saying he doesn't have a solution to pokes.

But he doesn't. He has no good long range move other than b2. That's his footsies. In their entirety. That and divekick. Both are overheads. One is heavily punishable, the other is heavily whiff punishable/poke punishable.
I agree lol, he stole my heart from Green Lantern.
I feel like you don't really understand the tools this character has? Half of them are there to control space.
Lightning = jumpable
batman is way too top tier atm, you cant compare matchups with him.
controlling space when your opponent falls in your traps. hes like a shang tsung without an in front upskull.
So then stop doing them at awful/predictable times and ranges. I've already mentioned his AA's are ass, that seems to be his only real flaw though. The rest to me just seems like stuff you wish were there but aren't.Lightning = jumpable
Black magic = jumpable
Zap = good, but still jumpable
One solution to all three of his space tools.
A problem. lol
havent played vs a good harley or arrow but his dash is one of the best, he can close the gap with deathstroke fast and even punish with divekick if they used rifle and you read theres another one coming
So if you aren't USING his tools...he in fact then has no tools. You can only reliably use lightning from 3 quarter to full screen. Zoners will never let you get it out reliably. Same with black magic it's startup is slow. Even if they can't zone they can jump safely from full screen to midscreen. You can try to trade a dive kick, but thats about it.
Dashes are punishable. You can't block during them like mk. If they do ground rifle then yes dive kick works. IA gs are a different story...
It's not just the traps, he has the lightning bolt, lightning storm, two different dive kicks and normals with pretty good range. All of which can be cancelled into safe specials that will end the pressure but cause the opponent to respect options. His pressure game is a lot like Reptile's where it's just not going to be there forever, but if he gets you with something you are going to pay for not blocking.
have you seen deathstrokes frame data? anything besides iags you get a free dash.
No that wasn't your original problem. Your original problem was jumpers, which I agree with, and oh I can't rush down all day what do I do? I agree with you again, that he doesn't have a move that just gets people off when they are in...oh wait how bout a 6 frame jab? OOOOH.So if you aren't USING his tools...he in fact then has no tools.

What do you do to reverse pressure?
His two problems : Jumpers, and no GTFO. Thus back to my original problem
I am just highlighting them. We will solve them I am sure.
Jumpers, and how to stop people from poking him to oblivion. Those were the two issues.No that wasn't your original problem.

I don't know, I've managed to land d2 AAs quite a few times, I just never know what to follow up with since it pushes the opponent a little far. Also, dashing is good to avoid jump ins.
No poking is completely different from gtfo me, when you say gtfo me I think getting out of pressure lol. I will say again though that you are just letting your opponent disrespect you. Make them want to block after a string out of fear of a special cancel or some type of follow up and they will stop, unless they are just scrubs.
