Smarrgasm

What's a Smarrgasm?
no, -7.

it says boot stomp, not ex boot stomp.
My fault i was under the impression that it was -5 at lowest.

It also says regular teleport for scorpion at -8 but it means Ex so i wouldnt make assumptions like that. It could add more recovery to ALL bootstomps.

no, hector specifically said its about ex teleport and said nothing about ex divekick

So many free combos. Its just so hard to hitconfirm a divekick and dashing immediately is the only way to get the combo. I think dashing up will still be safe but i think trying to still trap with it is going to be dangerous.
I was thinking the same thing.

You need to read tech discovered about trait cancels before saying traits a waste.
lbsh besides a read interrupt or grabbing someone to win a round, why would i do trait cancels? It's not like we're gonna mix them up with a low or something. This is my gripe with the damage nerf, he makes up for his lack of mixups with pure damage. Note i don't know how much it will scale but you know...

And if by waste, you mean that i think it's garbage, then you misunderstood me, top 5 best trait.

You are way off base with this. Ill give you a big ole write up on it later. But trust me, string trait cancels are HUGE for this character.

Please do. Right now they're a big part of my game, after b1 T i always catch people with a b23 but people that actually know the MU block it and then they just eat like 4% on chip.

Granted i can continue pressure after b23 but what im trying to say is that at the end of the day all you get is chip without a low and maybe an occasional grab. That's why i wanted F2 to be a low.

You know you can do b2 ex lightning instead and if they block it all they will eat at least 10-15% chip lol. Just saying, it's an option for if they block him well.
 
Even if Black Adam's best combos only do around 40% he will be fine. So I'm not worried about damage nerf.

The nerf to dive kick seems ok. But it will take time for people to adapt to it. If the +4 recovery also applies to MB Dive Kick then it means we can no longer dash up D1 check on block. Which is a common habit since it's hard to confirm in time that the MB Dive Kick hit or not. So we often dash forward just in case we got lucky.

A better D2 is welcomed and will help in some matchups. :)

I know...maybe im a bit biased. Im playing with the same people over and over again and they know my gimmicks they block all my mid string lightnings.

It's a great option right now but it's something that people will accustomed to. a b1 T into b2 MB lightning deals 23 to 25% which is hella good.

But yeah maybe im just kind of salty from the patch im nitpicking.
