"Must I Remind You Of My Superiority" -- Lex Luthor General Discussion Thread

[CrimsonShadow]

Malec Pig Of The Hut Just went into practice mode and tested again.. I'm estimating that by the time you land on the ground, you're about +10 after a max height j2. This is based on setting Batman to do his 1-frame parry as a reversal attack. He will parry j2 -> 2 but not j2 -> 1.

you can try d2, its 10frames

I think it takes maybe a frame to duck -- but max height he will parry d2, just under max height he has to block it. So I'm assuming ~10 frames is correct.

 

[Malec]

thx man, thats good to know. but kinda sucks, so b2 (18frame to slow) isnt a safe overhead option after ji2.

 

[CrimsonShadow]

At min height you can get a 2 off after j2 before the parry, but it has to be around the absolute lowest point you're allowed to do it. And it still feels tight, so the max advantage after landing on the ground for lex after min-height j2 is probably 14-ish frames.

What? Wiki says J2 is +11 on hit and..... +31 on block¿? Please someone explain this to me....
So finally Ji2 is not a good option to combo afterwards? Perhaps is better to do trait-dash-ground string-...

 

[CrimsonShadow]

What? I just explained the whole thing.

 

[BDMao88]

Why the hell does Lex get stunned when he throws someone in to a mine?!

CrimsonShadow

Exactly!!!!! I kept getting poked and punished after ji2 into b2 and I swear it happened w b13 from ji2 also

I've been meaning to ask but what other characters do all the Lex players have as their sub? Whether it's cause they like the character or because they are good for dealing with Lex's bad MU's.

I play Grundy and Shazam outside of Lex but I'm interested in Raven as my main "anti zoner" (least till Batgirl is released :3)

Yeah Batgirl is basically gonna be my middle finger to Deathstroke and Sinestro who bully big ol Lex :V

 

[CrimsonShadow]

Sorry I'm late, but I picked up Green Lantern specifically for that purpose, and he ended up becoming my main -- so now I need to level up my Lex again, haha.

 

[_CHINOCUDEIRO_]

So Ji3 is a beast and Ji2 is a bad joke , well Lex is balanced xD

 

[Wemfs]

Did they change how high the opponent gets popped up in the corner off a MB air strike? Seems like they don't pop up as high as before.

 

[Redfield]

So I was farting around with Lex today and noticed that if you dash cancel his trait and keep holding the trait button, his shield keeps charging even while attacking, moving, or really anything at all.

Just wondering if this is known or perhaps enhancing to his game.

 

[John smith]

Can anyone tell me how to do Lex's anti-air punch where he punches twice upward?

In his defence, I don't remember that one appearing on the list. I know I only learned it by accident trying for a j.3 as close to the ground as possible.

It's in his list of normals, easily overlooked because of the irregular input next to mundane crouching attacks.

Even with this trick, is it worth the time to activate? At a glance, I'd guess that you'd still be better off moving around or laying traps if given the opportunity to stand still and do nothing for a measly single hit of armor.

It's definitely worth it, but it depends on who you're fighting against.

i never use regular trait, if i have the time to trait, i always trait dash cancel to lvl3

 

[miloPKL]

trait dash cancel is essential. a stoned turtle could react to the startup on the standard trait
