Best rushdown / 50-50 char in d game?

Catwoman, Cheetah, Scarecrow, Atrocitus. Firestorm has a really good vortex.


Note that this game isn’t nearly as 50/50’s based as other NRS games, so 50/50’s in general just aren’t as strong/prominent in this game.

It is better this way
Catwoman has really good rushdown and is probably number 1 in the game, 2nd at worst. Flash is the best 50/50 character, Black Canary also has strong 50/50s but struggles way more than Flash.

I'd say Deadshot is alright, but his F2 is way to short. Staggers also are not as strong as they used to be.

give me a character with no 50/50 in this game
Captain Cold has no true 50 / 50s, and even the pseudo 50 / 50s are reactable. And the opponent has no reason to not block low, most of his strings start high.

This is not counting f3s and sweeps.

He can still cross up/hit in front with his j1 - that is a 50/50)
Yes, it is a 50 / 50. But it's nothing like Atrocitus' F223 Nado. Not that it needs to be.

But outside of jump in crossups, sweeps + f3 (which is gimmicky af), he has no real 50 / 50s.

Yeah, but if we are comparing this to MKX, there are no cross ups there, so 50/50 are strong in this game as well, they are just not everything that this game is about unlike MKX )

There aren't everything in MKX either, they were just a lot stronger until the last patch, but even before that it wasn't everything.

As for the question at hand, Flash, Catwoman and Cheetah are the top 3 Rushdown/Mix-Up chars in the the game hands down. And yes, while the 50/50's in this game are not the strongest tool, they are still a very good tool, not to mention that you can cross-up in this game.

For some top tier characters they were, because they could just not play neutral ( demo Sonya, Smoke). And when we had so many vortexes in that game, there is literally nothing but a 50/50 when you are in a vortex.

That's true, but it wasn't the case for every character. As you said, it was for some of them.
