A shout to Combo Master KDZ

SolomonGrundman

Grundy don't stop
If he has full meter and wants to blow it and lose access to everything he has, and if you're getting hit by heatzap and heatzap alone you deserved it.
Yeah, he'll lose everything he has access to. Except for the fact that when you super, it leaves them in f23 range :)

they are some of the hardest in the game lol.
Maybe for you, but anyone who takes a second to practice those combos can do them.

This community is so freaking sad at the moment that I'm embarassed to be a part of it. I can here people now saying "GTFO if that is how you feel," but really, those who would say that just don't get what the core problem of this community is.

The quote above IMO examplifies exactly what is wrong with the community, that "we" believe that just because something seems/is relatively easy to execute, and seems relatively easy to understand, that that means everyone can to, and do it at the highest level, and therefore that isn't skill. Fact is that fighting games are not soley about execution, it's about reads, understanding/getting into your opponents head, understanding your tools, you opponents tools, understanding your skill set, and dealing with theirs.

People crying about Superman and his tool set are doing just that...crying. Yes Supes' zoning can be tough (not impossible) to deal with. Yes he can deal hella damage in the right hands. Yes his overall tools are some of the best in the game. But on the other hand, yes Superman can be beaten. Yes he has been beaten at the highest level. And no, Superman isn't broken because of it.

TL;DR

What KDZ did at EVO, and what he does with Supes on the regular, is nothing short of awesome, and those who try and detract from that need to 1) get a grip, and 2) level up.

You're not the 1st or last person to write this. Be original.
Also, the whole reading and understanding your opponent. Not so hard when you're Superman. Might as well play against a handicapped opponent (handicapped as in less health, less damage , etc.)

This guy looks kind of tuff...
lol when kdz said that everyone agreed, once again I don't see anyone but kdz doing it in tournament, but lemme guess you hit them all day online lol get outta here. Our community will never grow into something great because it's full of mouth breathers. I'll edit this for cat too, once again where were you on stream doing them at evo, oh wait I just watched the insomnia tourney didn't see you do the full kdz combo once lol, and I said they are some of the hardest, which in a relatively easy combo system isn't that hard, hold that homeboy.
I never train wjth superman like kdz does. Yet I was landing them in training after a few tries. Shit is not hard at all.

My superman is bad. Yet went 3-2 vs rico. Not 3-0

I'm willing to bet my nuts that you have waaay more BA MU experience than KDZ. I know how ridiculous that sounds considering KDZs resume in this game but still you can tell he struggles against BA in general.

Everyone who says "oh those combos are easy to do" are fucking stupid. No, I'm sorry to inform you that corner combos with multiple 1 frame links are not what is considered EASY to do. If you think you are so fucking great at this game and that those 70% combos are easy to execute then go ahead and prove it to everyone in the next major or shut the fuck up because you obviously don't know what you are talking about.

Oh you can do them in practise after trying it 500 times? Now do them against Darth Arma, or Rico (or any top player) without getting bodied to oblivion and then maybe you can talk. And what about doing them live on a stage when thousands of people are watching? Yeah that's right, you can't. As far as I'm concerned only 1 Superman proved that he can and it's KDZ.

Everyone take a deep breath. If you want to have a personal argument, just take it to someone's profile or PM.

I'm going to clean the stupid stuff out and then reopen this -- but try to keep it civil.

I think most people agree that a lot of salt comes from the crappy online play. little lag or not it makes a huge difference when your gameplay is not as responsive as offline. I'm Deathstroke and though Superman rapes him up-close I've found my way of dealing with that MU and I give Superman a run for his money, everytime.

I don't think you understand what a 1 frame liink is.

And there is nothing as hard as a 1 frame link in Superman's corner combos.


Also a ton of Superman players do them in tournament. Look up me vs Tyrant at Vindication, he hits me with a corner combo. SatsuiYesHadou was doing them week 1 (he invented these combos.) Hell even I've done them in tournament.

Trust me as someone who has played a lot of fighting games, the Superman corner combos are not that hard.

...and with all that said, I think you would agree that just having the execution to do one of these combos isn't solely what is needed to win.

Calm down or else might end up shooting in your pants.

The problem is not the execution itself, it's the reward for said execution. This isn't Mahvel where any team can come up with some loop, reset or setup to deal ridiculous damage. In this game, only Superman gets to break the 50% mark easily and frequently. Whereas you have characters like Flash who need a 20 second cooldown between high damaging combos, Grundy who has to setup 1 Trait chain and/or 1 MB boost move beforehand, and the vast majority of the cast who barely reach the 50% mark after spending more meter and requiring tighter execution.

to be clear there really isnt anything similar to 'one frame links' in a street fighter sense due to the ridiculous input buffer. no combo in this game is difficult
Is that a bad thing in your interpretation? Or just a matter of fact.

If Superman was the Cyrax of Injustice, with Kabal exectuion, would people be saying the same thing they are now? Would they have a leg to stand on?

lol at chef and all the other crybabies, please show me another tourney where someone other than kdz does these corner combos, they are some of the hardest in the game lol. This is why people hate nrs games and or community in general, all this community does is bitch, instead of level up we cry for nerfs, it's people like this that keep our game and community down.
Shut uuuuup. I could do them combos with my controller upside down.

nope its not good or bad. i was just disputing what a previous poster said regarding KDZ's 'godlike execution of multiple 1 frame links in corner combos' when thats not really the case

if you want to try some hard combos try BB hood infinites, Eddie lil' eddie combos, extended zappa dog combos, cammy sf4 combos (actual one frame links), urien unblockables, etc
