Strategy THE WIZARDS WARRIORS: Shazam Mains Unite/Strat discussion

[Donovan]

Shazam will definately be my main add me to the list too. I might not be that much help to anyone since Injustice will be my first fighting game but i'm here to learn.

 

[Santaclaus]

Even though I'm a huge Netherrealm newbie and don't understand the game well enough yet I have been 100% sure that Shazam will be my main from the moment I saw him. So please add me to the list and i'll try to be of some help when I get things down

 

[Hellbringer]

I wanna main him only because his shazam! string lol

 

[Donovan]

Thinking about making Shazam an alt to my Nightwing that DBF1 is a major pain in the ass.

I thought this was a thread to post if you were maining him, didn't know it was the strategy thread! Confusing name!

Good video, covers a lot of bases.

Here I'll post some of the videos that I have made, I posted them in general discussion already though:

Crossup Atlas Torpedo Setup 2:

Combo off of AA B2:

How are you guys dealing with the Batman matchup? Playing against competent players and top players who play Batman is absolutely horrible. Batman can pressure you for free and blow you up even you attempt to punish anything. I think he counters Shazam due to how safe he is and how much faster his normals come out. Not to mention the zoning and rushdown Batman possesses.

 

[GGA Fill Pops]

Ya its sad to say but I played SOT Semi Evil Ryu in casuals. Wd must have played 25 games and I won 1 it was bad I definatly need to play him more his batman is dope

 

[CCVengeance]

Thoughts on Shazam vs Deathstroke?

Thoughts on Shazam vs Deathstroke?

Just wait. And dash even though its hard to get in you can. I still need match up experiance. But dont under estimate him cuz hes really good up close and his low combo starter beats out torpedo on wake up often. Hit tht damage. Blockstring 50/50 try to keep him close byending combos with AC or a sweep and block wake ups idk if his flip wake up is punishable. Also i play a long set vs Vagrant yesterday and he let me know tht if he hits u with a sword flip he gets a free low gun shot so block tht.

STORMS This is a great video that should be frontpaged!

I agree
SHAZAM!!!

 

[Vagrant]

Yeah sword flip leads to untechable knockdown so the low gun shot is free. From the exp I've had playing this matchup early on its surprisingly close between them. Shaz can hold his own versus deathstroke more so than I thought he would be able to.

 

[CCVengeance]

I agree
SHAZAM!!!

Submit it to him or SRK or Eventhubs.Billy needs the exposure.

The fact that Batman has TWO types of projectiles that travel horizontally and he has so much freedom on when to use them makes him tough for any character that cannot rely on pure zoning. I haven't played against Shazam much at all, but I believe that he fits this bill.

Is this where we are discussing match-up strategies? Because the match-up discussion thread is quite empty.

This is for gamplay strats like setups and new findings.

 

[Sneak]

Can't remember if I mentioned it or not yet but a good midscreen mixup that has been working for me alot is conditioning people to crouch under shazam's projectile and then landing an overhead torpedo and ex'ing it to start up the vortex.

Also here is a match from the tournament I attended in VA. Unfortunately my match vs mr aquaman wasn't recorded but here is some footage starting at 1:35:00
