What's new

General/Other I don't understand shazam at all!

you knockdown your opponent and they cant tech roll so you can use hercules throw which hit high, or the low grab on their wakeup, so its a 50/50 guess as to which one you are going to do.
what do you mean by CAN'T tech roll? i thought if you get knocked down flat on your back you can always roll or do a wakeup attack?

Plus on block.
My ass, whenever I try to rush with him I get my shit beat, as if everyone is faster than me, he's no good against mashing, or my lag compensation skills aren't as good as I though.

i meant to say use a move that puts your opponent in an untechable situation, a sweep, after both command throws ect that way you can either bait there wakeup attack, or do one of the command throws again, they can block it, its up to them to guess which one you are going to do next, so lets say you did a combo in hercules slam thing, go right next to them on knockdown, if you think they are gonna be blocking low use Achilles throw( low grab) and either combo or let them drop for another 50/50. if you think they will block high use the dbf1 and combo or do the same thing, its dirty as fuck lol

A big problem I have is continuing my combo chains. A lot of the time I attack and I don't expect to hit my opponent but somehow I tag them and then I am not ready to do my combo. It happens all the time when I jump in on someone with an attack. Also when I jump in and somehow land on the other side of them after i hit them with the jump attack screws with me also. I am just not ready to have my moves reversed.

this = practice my friend, i'm making video of a setup i found with shazam in 20 minutes of playing him lol
 
wow this thread is disheartening...I feel the same was as the topic starter and I now see that shazam sucks lol. I will still want to main him and learn the game with him though. Shazam is by far the most awesome character in the game so I'll just commit and get beat up a lot

Stevezam!!! :P
I found Shazam/Capt. Marvel really enjoyable to use. You just need to spend a long time in Practice Mode, and looking up the Combo Thread here to get a better idea of what works best for him. With full Meter I'm able to get a 40 plus % combo. Really fun! haha
 
I never said he was shit. I've read it if you're referring to the one that Phase 3 wrote?
im not saying that you said he was shit. you were talking to people saying he was shit and told them maybe hes got some good stuff up his sleeve, and im saying we dont even have to speculate cause its all in the guide :coffee:
