His best AA's d2, standing 2, mbb3 (probably the best option), and black magic. I reccomend doing Black magic from a bit of a distance though. Standing 1, d1 and d2 are going to be your best interrupts for getting out of pressure and trying to gain back advantage. His wake up lightning cage is good but use it with caution, because there are characters with safe jump options to stuff it, and if it whiffs it's really punishable.
It's a pretty good AA actually, and you can get 40%+ easily off of it raw. F3 works too but not quite as well. Lightning Cage does have a good bit of invincibility on startup, so it's a good wake up option that people will have to respect. It's safe on block and if you ex it you can get a combo on hit, and it's positive on block too.
You are right on just about all of that except that it's not so much that Black Adam is lacking up close as it is that he just needs to use frame traps/counter hit setups to open people up. B1 is good since it's +4 on block and has very little pushback. B1 into trait is also very good, on hit you can't combo or anything, but you have trait so it's not necessarily a bad thing lol. f2 and f23 are also pretty good, but you can't really do much after them on hit. However they are both positive on block. You should also most definitely be mixing in throws and lows to keep people in check who are just high blocking all day.
I don't think it has invincibility. I got it to trade on the first few active frames with Catwoman's J2.
I've been saying this for weeks! Lol finally a response!
Maybe everyone just thought you were joking
.
Back dash. Its one of his best things.
He's great at punishing mistakes due to black magic, b2,3 and MB bootstomp, his combos are really damaging, and he has an extremely scary vortex due to his powerful cross-ups from d2 and MB bootstomp, as well as post-combo bomb setups. Thanks to his trait he's got some really good frame traps, and on top of that his zoning is decent.
Go into training mode and work on it. When you see the words wake up appear on the screen is when you got it. You have to time it to start as he is getting up.
I keep mashing the bloody think but Batman keeps throwing me, he keeps J2ing me. Its so annoying.
That is something I like about this game tbh. You can't just mash and get full invincibility on a move. It's just a matter of practice really. Also, expect to get thrown out of wake ups a lot because for some reason they are hella meaty in this game lol.
Its not like every wake up has invincibility. Its not like pulling off ANY wake up is automatic win, its some which are better than others.
I know that, but you also shouldn't just be able to roll your face on the buttons and get a wake up either. Dude you make it sound like it's impossible to do a wake up. Just spend like 2 minutes in training mode with it and it's a breeze.
