No! It needs to be b23, b3 ji3 f223 HM - No Bar combo. Or a second option of b23 xtraitx 22 HMmb b3 ji2 F223 Hm. These, if possible would be perfect! As long as b23 is safe, that gives Shazam a chance against top tiers.

I don't think we'll get b23, b3 sadly but I guess we'll know for sure when the patch hits.

If I can't do a b3 after it, what is the point. I thought the whole idea was for us to get good meterless damage?
Maybe we can trait after it and go into HM, which is why they decided to nerf the trait a bit. I just hope when the patch comes out, they will have fixed the hopping aspect and made it safer on block, heck imagine if it was +3 on block, it'd become like BA's b23 lol.

- Like how i did that?
Also, message in general, if you've got tech, share it. Although for some reason I'm thinking the string MagicMan is referring to is the 1,2,f3 string by process of elimination.

12F3 and 12B3 if they don't tech roll you have so many mind games to setup and they have good wall carry too. (if they do you can still bait the roll)

I don't really see how you can do anything special off of those strings if they don't tech roll that you couldn't do off of 112 if they don't.

I thought the trait change was that it properly scales damage since it doubles it currently.

Also, quick question, does Shazam actually have meterless midscreen damage?

he benefits hella from the mb b3/f3 buff. imagine you have trait on and you read a catwoman mb cat dash. you mb b3 then f3 for like 45% unclashable damage
She's getting 2 hits of armour in her buff so this is pointless against a MB dash.

None whatsoever until the patch hits. Then it's up in the air. (IIRC we can get 27% and that's if we successfully land a f223 string naked).
 

Gesture Required Ahead

Get on that hook
Fuck accidently deleted my comment. I'll repost it: Not a Shazam player but just saying the universal B3/F3 buff and the Throw Immunity nerf is something you should all look at.

Those are interesting, no doubt, but Shazam's b3 is absurdly bad. The hitbox doesn't extend very much in front of him (as opposed to other notable b3s) and while it is affected by the trait by virtue of it being a punch, you're not gonna get MB B3 anytime soon.

F3 is not my area of expertise so I really couldn't tell you much beyond comboing after it is kind of blah for Shazam.

Why turn on the trait when the only maximum damage you'll get is off of the b3? Wouldn't it be better to just b23 xtraitx 22 HMmb b3 ji3 112 torpedo, then teleport for more pressure? That 112 with trait will probably do more damage.

I use mb f3 a lot, but never b3

What if you can just b23 twice then meter burn grab b3 j2 grab for like 45 percent or something tht would be sick
