Thanks friend, too bad I seem to be clueless vs Atrocitus. 2 finals lost against him, it's becoming frustrating
Did you see the random anti atrocitus tech stuff going around? If you pushblock a cat shot he loses half of his trait meter. You can also punish a blocked puddle when he uses trait by meterburning b3. There's some other punish that I can't remember but @CrazyFingers posted the tech I think

Thanks SwagMountains, I'll do some research and see what I can do better. That damn Red Lantern will go down

Supergirl is a awkward one ngl, but not too tough. You cant laser at all just play very patient but you hit way harder than her, thus if youre on a less deficit, do not panic. She has to hit you two-three times to make up for our bnb, let alone if we have her cornered.

Black adam, you laser you die. If youre in I think it is very good for supes as f23xxbreath adam can not challenge you after. The fastest thing adam can do after a breath on block is f12, which supes can just d1 underneath and full combo punish (d2 if you dont like the timing). Bait shit from fullscreen and its easy to laser. Be respectful but dont let adam be a dominatrix

My main problem againsy Supergirl is the incredible number of unwanted specials I get.

Against her I have to duck block almost all the time, and I fail to punish her strings and specials afterwards with f2 or b2 because I keep getting air throw or ice breath :/. If I slow down the inputs, I don't get any punish at all...so it's always a fail.

This stuff is way too stupid

What should I be doing on knock down mid-screen? I've been opting for a meaty F23, but I don't even know if this is ideal or correct. In the corner, I've been doing the dive.

I'm a Street Fighter guy so I'm not exactly sure which parts of that game transition well. Thanks!

I think it really depends on them as a player.

Most of the time I find a f23 the best option but I sometimes wait for them to press buttons and then whiff punish.

A cheeky f3 can be done and then you're +7

Is anyone else having problems with supermans bnb f23 trait f2 mb breath. I keep getting bounce cancels trying to connect the mb breath this is fucking driving me crazy i used to be able to do this combo in my sleep before they made that stupid patch fixing the input bugs. Dont know what else to do, if its not one thing its the next with NRS JESUS !!!!!

Turn input shortcuts on. Before having them off didn't do anything, they made it to where they're actually off now. If you turn them on, the game is the way it was before.

Playing with them off is probably better in the long run, but NRS making us play with them on made us execution noobs.

But i cant play with input shortcuts on because everytime im crouching and i try to go for a f2 i get a air grab this is absolutely retarted it was fine the way it was before the patch. Fucking everyone who was complaining was playing on stupid ps4 pads. It hardly never gave you a input error on the xbox one pad before the patch. now the combos just feel awkward as fuck i cant do that md breath consistently to save my dawm life. im about to go trade this stupid game in ive about had it with NRS.

Ok sorry about the rant i figured something out. If anybody else is having this problem the trick is to delay when you actually meter burn the breath delay it as much as possible then the bounce cancel wont come out. And your back to business as usual you cant just shotgun it like it was preepatch now its just a little strick with its timing atleast for me. I really got triggerd there for a sec apologies to NRS lul

Tweedy do you play with input shortcuts on? if so how it seems imposible to play with input shortcuts on

Keep shortcuts off and treat the movements like you have alt controls on. Meaning that you can still roll the thumb, but you have to firmly press the left/right direction, almost towards up. Complete the sweep. A lot of times we rush the input and get the down, but barely press left/right. You feel it register on your thumb, but the game doesn't register it as a decisive direction.

I'll notice in practice mode the direction will show down, diagonal left/right, diagonal left/right instead of left/right...even though I swear I did it correctly. Finish the roll towards the top corner of left/right and you'll be fine.

Personally I hate the XB1 dpad. The old Xbox 360 with rotating dpad was awesome (as long as you kept the pad in one place and didn't swap positions too often...cheap POS). The elite/pro XB1 controller looks nice, but I'm not spending half the cost of my system on a freaking controller.

Input shortcuts feels like the game before the patch to me. 100% identical. I try to play with them off but in tournament I go back to on. You just gotta be precise with your inputs when they're off.

Yo after f23 trait another f2 catches backdash right? A friend is tryna tell me he's testing it and said backdash beats out that scenario but i'm like pretty goddamn sure he's wrong. Is this character specific or is my dude just mistiming the second f2?

He's gotta be missing it. I know that there are plenty of times where it looks and feels like I should be out of range after a back dash, but it still catches me.

You can back dash it at the beginning of a match, but definitely not after a blocked f23.
