I will give you an example: J2,22~dbf1 MB, b2, J3, 22~df3(forward teleport). You get around 32% damage and you are next to him when you opponent wakes up. You can block and bait wake up, you can NJ2 or go strait for 22~dbf1(reset). Even if they block 22, the dbf1 is unblockable . I think the only way out is after you block 22 to crouch and let go of the block. But then you can do the low grab instead(db1) and repeat the same situation. In good hands Shazam is a monster. Specially against some one with unsafe wake up. I started using his teleport as combo ender to keep the pressure. I feel him a bit like Raiden and Smoke from MK. His jump in arcs are very good too.
I do the same with teleport. Use it as combo ender. But shazam has reset? I guess it woul be reset if he goes back into 22 dbf1. Right?
Lol. The assumption is amazing. So Konqrr is new to fighting games? I look forward to a better time when people that aren't serious about playing this character are on to different things.
Did you not just assume im not serious about playing the character? Just because I understand that shazam is not that great of a character doesn't mean I won't play him. I understand you are all hype decked out in your shazam icon, and sig, but lets keep our comments relevant to finding tech for the much needed character forum were in. I was actually wrong 22 into dbf1 is actually not a 50/50. Its a 33.3/33.3/33.3. The character can stand block, crouch, or backdash.
Getting in is going to be hard for Shazam in a lot of matchups. Being patient and just walking forward is going to be important, and knowing the right distance for b2 to hit, and for d3 to hit. This, and know your opponents range of dash and special so you can operate in footsies distance and get them when they try to get in on you. Out of all the things said, I do agree that getting in with Shazam is hard, and teleport and torpedo will be scouted and punished at high level and even low levels of play. Getting in will come down to your understanding of the entire game, as well as your opponent's tendencies, so yeah... tough.
d2 or a preemptive j2
Dude for AA's if its killing you that much just Back or forward dash in all honesty
I like to back dash out of the way then whiff punish with b2 or d3. Try to stay out of jump distance unless you get the knockdown, then you can f3 mb, d3, high or low throw, cross over 2, or jump in 3, but the idea here is that the only time I'm in jump distance is when its to my advantage to be at jump distance. Make them fight you on foot otherwise.
They can't call him captain marvel because of conflict with marvel comics etc. I think he is even referred to as shazam in new 52?
Ahh, that makes sense. Finally a voice of reason!
I don't know, where as I am alting others to make up for what shazam lacks they don't have the sheer pressure he does.
