Aww shit <REDACTED DUE TO FEELINGS> its Shapzam
Thats really hard to do on reaction.
How much meter do you assume they have? Mind you we only need to get in once.
Machine gun also has incredibad start-up and ending lag without meter burn. Also, level 3 venom.
Never seems to stop me. Are you sure?
The GLs I play are fine, but I've plowed through EX machine gun plenty of times. Are you sure you are being accurate?
I don't know if I should take you seriously still... But if you say so. I'll take your word for it, even if it doesn't really correlate to my own experience in the situation.
I seemed to double punch through it just fine, and even using the long start-up of charge I got through. But I do see what you mean, it ticks as an armor count.
To be fair, if he is throwing it out that far away they aren't making much for reads. On top of its somewhat lengthly start-up and all, unless you are just doing reckless charges in then the gun shouldn't pose too much of a threat. Up close it doesn't push us out of f.2d range, and from a distance it doesn't push back much at all. One dash covers the distance enough to make us a threat.
Just like with meter, theres only so much distance that'll work with. He would be putting himself in the corner and only amounting about... 10% in chip for half a stage's worth of movement. That and with our floaty jump we can actually just jump over his minigun... and his missles.
No you can't. You can't jump over missile or minigun on reaction. Missile is too fast and minigun can be MB on reaction to AA. And if you get into the habit of trying to jump pre-emptively to catch those moves, you're gonna be eating Lantern Might combos for free. Jared's interpretation of the MU is more in line with what I deal with when I fight GL.
Missile isn't all that fast to me, and as I said you only have so much meter. The lift though yeah provides some problems but if you honestly see them tossing out minigun every time you approach you can snag a free jump off of the read.
If GL takes you with: B1, Lantern Might, Grounded Oa rocket... Then you eat 30-50% damage easily, more it the venom gets off mid combo. All this MU it's about to trade, hit him with an armored move, so he can't get a combo. As you say, GL it's nothing about guessing, if you fail, you die. This match it's all about punish, react in time one unsafe move of GL with something that gives you advantage, and repeat
This is the smartest thing you've ever said
It's not fast at full screen, but that's not where you need to be. At midscreen, it's not feasible or worth it to try and jump over missile on reaction. Block and dash is all you can do, and MB minigun makes that a pain. Even when you finally dash into a comfortable range, b1 has ridiculous reach and he gets some nice stuff off of that, on hit and block. The MU is ass.
I like crossing up w/body splash and LM is so annoying. I try to poke him and he wakes up w/LM. B1 has insane range as a low, it's fantastic. I'm convinced this is by and far his worst matchup. At least w/Batman/Superman, I feel I can get in and stay in. GL, it's so hard to bait out the LM. The green bastard totally throws me off my game
