Supergirl jumps back online, what do you do

Beware my power.
Actually, @CrimsonShadow is one of the few SG players saying it's too early and we should focus on learning more about her and studying matchups. But when ignorant people start saying shit like her teleport is too good, he steps in and regulates.
That's not what I see. Also I'm one of the people advocating that supergirls teleport stay the same, I said earlier in the thread she is one of the most fair and balanced characters rn.

My fault for attempting to be constructive about the game

Unintentional Tier Whore Follow me @TruthRM
I've trained myself to look for teleport so much, I'm worried that when I run into a SG that knows what she's doing, I'll get bodied by a bunch of other stuff. ;____;

As a deadshot main this MU is nightmare .... worst thing is that she doesnt have much to be afraid of cuz DS midscreen dmg sucks .

If by most fair and balanced you mean if you know the MU it's incredibly hard for her to win... then yes, I agree.

The fact that there's even a question about Supergirl's teleport of all things shows just how scrubby TYM has gotten.

Its just this salty santa guy. He posts a thread every day about some very scrub shtuff.
 
I think it is something you need to learn to block. To noobs it is ridiculously strong because she comes from the opposite side of the screen and it is kinda fast for the casual player to react to.

Most of them are just as bad on PS4.
I mean, it depends on your rank. Definitely not above 500 or so. He said he was Top 10 on XBL, and I guarantee that if he was top 10 on PS4 he'd be playing much better Supergirls.

Most good players dropped her within two weeks. Like Scar, Sonic, F0xy, etc. I wonder why.

Only reason i haven't is because she's still fun to use and I'm currently not competiting in tournaments. When I want a sure win I use Aquaman.

I lose to sg more than I'd care to admit as Superman, but that teleport hasn't been the reason why since like day 2 or 3 lol.

Top player on Xbox is a supergirl player and I frequently get matched with him online. Surely that must mean something
 
The problem isn't that you can't block the teleport, it's not that hard. The problem is that you can't be looking for the teleport the entire time and the fact that it will come at any random time means you won't always be prepared for it.

The teleport is fine, the reason why you get hit by it is because you're looking to scout out multiple options at once (jump eye laser, air dash forward, teleport)..that's supergirl for you and I think she's actually like the best balanced character rn. Yes the eye lasers are stupid good? But I would actually buff her b123 string to not be fully punishable
you have to make a read on the auto footsie string to punish it anyways i dont think this is a problem tbh.
 
This is not true at all. Maybe on your crappy wifi connection vs another crappy wifi connection. I haven't played any good players who can't react to SG's teleport ONLINE. And my connection isn't even very good. It's extremely easy to react to even ONLINE. In extremely laggy connections almost everything is unreactable. But you only get extremely laggy connections if you yourself have a horrible connection, and/or your opponent does.

I've played against many SG's as well, who try "random" teleports. I blow them up for free and they eventually learn not to do them. Her TP's are only good on reads. So either you have the worst connection ever, or you're being too predictable. Either way, it's not her TP that is the issue.
If you watched forever kings stream from i think a day ago you can clearly see him not reacting to a rando super girl he played in ranked, several times. He even later complains about it/online after losing. Im not saying its not reactable, but in lag itll catch the best of us and it is simply naive to think it doesnt. Also, it is naive to believe that supergirl isnt just a scrubby online character.

Her teleport makes this loud ass recognizable sound. Even if she does hit she's more or less a peashooter compared to the rest of the cast. Feels that way for me, is it agreed upon her damage being low? Idk.

What do you think the MU is for your character? Maybe that's the issue you're having?

not really, she can get pretty good damage off of her teleport.

Like I said, in lag anything can be unreactable. That is not the argument. In a good, solid connection, it is reactable. Even if it wasn't, debating the effectiveness of a move based on laggy online play is what scrubs do.

Off of her MB TP, yes. In fact I believe she gets more damage off of it than her BnB's. But your read has to be super solid, or you're getting full combo punished. So for instance if you do 5 MB TP's a match (good luck having meter for anything else), and only 1 or 2 land, it's still not worth it. There are some specific situations where it can be used as a punish, but your reactions/predictions need to be absolutely on point since it has 31f of start up.
