If this is helpful for those that have problems fighting Deathstroke I posted this a lil earlier today, its mainly dealing with using a Hawgirl and Deathstroke Matchup:
Well I did a lil practice going up against these two char. last night, unfortunately the one time I needed an online opponent to pick one of these characters no one did (odd that no one would pick these so-called cheeseballs). So I ran a few single matches againts the AI and used the rec/playback function on the practice mode.
I faced DStroke a bit and I found that, right when you here the word Begin you have to instantly take control of the match and quickly get in there and not let up, if you do for even a second Dstroke will have the advantage (even the AI spams those damn gunz) I am almost on the side of those that want Dstroke nerfed a lil, but he still nowhere near on the side of unbeatable. I main Hawkgirl and during the practice sessions I rec/playbacked Dstroke spamming each variation of his guns in a random order, and there is a huge flaw in zoning Hawkgirl. There is a whole portion of the screen at full distance that he cannot even touch anything and will allow one to use an Air Mace Throw(AMT), the down side to this attack is Dstroke can jum and fire his pistols in the air. His pistols mid and low can be blocked and rushed easily, but you have to watch the timing, which is quite tricky and almost no room for error, ounce you get close enough low pokes and even uppercuts annoy him ( that was even with the AI ). His machine gun cannot be ducked, but can be blocked. Granted his power will make these attacks unblockable. This is just a match one has to be mindful of what Dstroke is going to do, if he jumps use a mid projectile, and otherwise use an attack like the ATM attack. Also Shazam has a hella fast teleport, which I assess can travel through the damn gunz(could be wrong though). Its tricky, but it can be done.
KF is chump when she gets close just be ready to low block that damn slide, the iceberg can be blocked as well, so I just don't see exactly see how anyone is able to say she is OPed. If the slide was to be nerfed KF really would have no edge over her oonent at all.
Now I understand I am still a bit on the scrubby side in the game currentlly and I still have a lot to learn, but these two characters aren't unbeatable, I do agree that Dstroke is a bit unbalanced, or it may be he has so much balance that its unbalanced. His zoning though still has flaws that can be exploited and sure Dstroke can dish exactly up close as what he can do at a distance, but if you play smartly and watch closely he can be beaten.
This is just my analysis sorry for legnthy post. Instead of us all arguing over who is OPed and needs nerfing, we should all be working together in figuring out how to beat these cahracters, if they use cheese then you use cheese as well... I remember when everyone yelled the day MK9 came out abou Lao, Mileena, and Raiden and as time went by they became chumps and not just through nerfs alone. so with this said lets all share our ways to deal with these characters.
-I forgot to mention that if one can and they use Hawkgirl use the MB with her mace trows to close the gap when facing Dstroke-
Hope some of find it helpful
