Atrocitus General Discussion

[FuzzyDunlop]

Hello everyone! I posted this in the combo thread as well but figured I'd post here. I hope this helps anyone, I'm pretty bad at fighting games (MKX was my first) so I typically copy what good players do, I also learn better by seeing it written down. So I've gone through a lot of TekkenMaster's games from Combo Breaker and tried to write down strings. Most are full strings but some are written down because of the sick block pressure I saw him doing, those are listed in the "Misc" section. I have linked most of the strings as well, you can click the timestamp, and shoutout to TheHackingFreak for the youtube compilation. I wasn't able to remember all the timestamps unfortunately but the strings should still work. Let me know if I didn't get some correct, and in a couple of days there are some questions I have about some strings, hope this helps!

I think its the 'touching' part he has problems with. B.A. Shazamacus has a good footsie game vs atrocitus

Not really? Low lift is a good check to keep Adam from getting too carried away, and once the cat is out you're guaranteed to get in.

 

[EntropicByDesign]

Atrocitus is a BEAST. Holy crap.

I have nothing else to add, thank you.

Doing just F2 into bloodnado is my favorite Atrocitus gimmick. It catches so many many lol.

 

[FuzzyDunlop]

Guys I can not for the life of me connect F123 after B233 midscreen, how in the world are yall doing that?

 

[ATL Jones Bro3]

Do some of his combos scale based on how high your opponent is in the air when shield hits? When I do quad vomit combos in the corner, I get more damage the lower my shield hits...

Pay attention to supermans health at the end of the ticks and how high my shield hits for each combo. Am i crazy or does the lower the shield give you more damage? Or am I somehow differing my combo without even noticing?

After playing BA, Flash, Bats, and Deadshot, Atrocitus is my favorite so far. He just feels fun to play. The B23 restand is awesome to play around with (I love denying wakeups on certain characters).

@ATL Jones Bro3

I tried that with two d2 and just blood ball without blood shield. But your version seems also interesting, to skip one d2 and go for the up breath directly.

At least people do not use the 3-4 blood shield version anymore it seems, thats good

But sometimes my damage is different too. And i do not use blood shield at all. So it might ahve to do with something else. I guess it has to do how the last up breath hits maybe.

Howdy y'all, cheetah player here. I was wondering if any of you would be willing to run sets with me so I can help figure out the match up! I'm on PS4, and live in CT, so if anyone not too far wants to run sets, I'm totally down. Feel free to send me a PM, and I'll respond when I can. Discord is what I mainly use to talk tyvm ilyall

Okay I seem to be having a problem doing combos when facing the left side
I do F223,db1 but I end up with bf1 if I don't put it in with complete deliberation. Anyone else having this problem

Newp, sounds like you need to tighten up your execution. You really want your inputs as clean as possible.

Hey can anyone explain to me why when DJT push blocked Dexx Star didn't go away? https://clips.twitch.tv/SwissCuteClintDogFace

Because he doesn't go away completely on push block, it just drains about half of the bar. Maybe a little less.

Just curious on what the exact properties of Atrocitus's shield is from dex. I was playing against a darkseid and his projectile went right through it and hit me. I thought it absorbed all high and mid projectiles?

Did it happen to be meterburned? Think Darkseid can direct the beam so it hits above the shield. I'd lab around but I'm not at home today.

I thought this was hilarious. All hail Dex-Starr!

DUDE! WHY IS THIS NOT ITS OWN THREAD! YOU CAN COMBO INTO THIS WITH B2!

Seriously, its almost the same as superman hit confirming into 1000 meterless damage combo off of the 2 in f23. If they block, your positive, and they have to keep blocking after you finish b233 with cat. And if you hit, that's 1000 hit-conformable meter less damage (I can only get it to 800 with my execution, but w/e)

Hi guys, my first ever post on this entire forum, I read this forum every day and have learned so much so thanks to everyone for that. I'm an atrocitus main, and I just have a few questions and stuff for you guys.
Let's start with, do I need a back up or secondary? Yeah atrocitus is good, but I think some matchups are really unfavourable such as supergirl/man, doctor fate, I think maybe I need a good back up for these, if so what do you guys suggest or do to combat these characters? I was thinking about picking up scarecrow for those matchups but I wanted your guys opinions.

Another thing is, why do so many people feel that atrocitus trait needs a nerf, or his mixup needs a nerf? I think this character is one of the most balanced in the game, yeah he's probably top tier and very good, but if you know the matchup then atrocitus is just even playing field. I think NRS should focus more on other characters such as the safeness of dr fates ank wake up, and maybe either the hitbox or active frames of batmans ji2. Dex-starr needs to stay active on hit I don't feel that this needs to change, what's your guys opinions on this? Not looking to start a debate, just wanna see some different opinions. Thanks in advance

I cant tell if this is an elaborate troll given the above broken video being discussed right involving the cat. But, i agree, other than this above bug, i think atrocitus is solid, with very obvious flaws
Ppl need to quit complaining and learn to deal. As for me, ive thuroighly enjoyed bb. Hes got better range game/jump game than atrocitus. And hes got good MUs with top tier chars like supes and blk adam

No it's not a troll lol, the above video is obviously a glitch or bug that I probably won't be using lol. Yeah I agree, I think his mixup is very fair, his zoning game is just right, yeah his trait makes him super super strong, but I think people should learn to respect that and know how to block the strings. Know when they can attack between the frame advantages and just deal with it. There's so many more priority nerfs that should be looked into, atrocitus really doesn't need it in my opinion. And I never really thought about blue beetle, I suppose it makes sense to have him as a secondary as he makes up in the areas where atrocitus loses out.
