Best Strings in the Game?

[CrazyFingers]

Isn't supermans f23 the obvious choice? 8 frame mid, combo starter, covers alot of space, can aa, and is super safe on block and made plus with trait. What else do you need?

Supergirl's B1 string is better tbh

Supergirl's B1 string is better tbh

Idk about all that.


Still a damn good string but f23 is like...derp

 

[Peckapowa]

doctor fate f2

RIP pre-patch Aquaman B123

 

[honeybooboo]

Mantas f213 is bae

 

[Dankster Morgan]

Okay Superman’s F23 is better than Supergirl’s B123 imo. I think SG is the best character in the game but just comparing the two strings, I’d take F23.

Add Red Hood’s b2 because it’s a safe 14 frame low that reaches very far not to mention has only 20 recovery frames. Both b2 and b2,3 are safe on block at -5. The only downside is red hood can’t hit confirm into mine, he has to commit to b2 x mine.

Red Hood has great buttons in general but outside of lunge, b2 is easily his best one.

That low is very deceptive too

I forgot to mention while it leads to nothing unless you commit midscreen. In the corner he gets chunky damage off it. You know, since it launches.

My only thing is F23 is terrible on whiff. B1, B12, AND B123 all have like no recovery. It's hitconfirmable, fast, advancing, mid, safe. The thing does everything lol.

Not to mention there is an input advantage as well. It takes a person a few frames from blocking to a forward animation. A back animation is better in the sense that you don’t have to do that.

I'd add Black Manta's f213.

For sure. It leaves u at superman breath range. Huge mind games after

 

[Kooron Nation]

1. Superman F23
2. Supergirl B1
3. Red Hood B23 (that string has fucking AA'd me on multiple occasions)
4. Green Arrow F2D13
5. Attrocitus F22

Top 5 strings
1- Supergirl's b123: fast, huge hitbox, almost impossible to trade with a normal, hit confirmable, barely whiff punishable, auto footsies at it's finest.
2- Superman's f23: Fast, easily hit confirmable, leads into big dmg, the big potato string of the game.
3- Manta's f213: huge footsie tool, hit confirmable, leads to good chip dmg and good dmg, catches backdashes, breaks armor, and is staggerable.
4- Batman's 223: lol just do it.
5- Aquaman's b123: it is still really good, even tho most people dropped him now that he is honest.

Honorable mentions:
Red Hood's b23
Batman's b23 and b11
Sub's f22
Atro's b23 and f22

tbh i find manta's f213 string difficult to hitconfirm, sometimes i can get it, sometimes i can't, that second hit happens pretty fast, you mean being able to hitconfirm f21 into teleport right?

also, batmans 223 is not that standout of a string, its a mid starter that launches, its not that special, batman doesnt really come to mind when i think of best strings in the game....

it is a safe on block, launching mid. IN INJUSTICE 2. WHERE EVERYONE NEEDS METER FOR THAT SHIT. It's pretty good

dunno, but most situations where you'd use it seems like b11 would be the better string, with it being faster and what not. and after a jump in, 12 seems the best choice, your +4, why wouldnt u wanna be plus 4. To me seems like the ideal situation to use this string is like, after blocking a poke from an opponent. its good....but its not THAT good.

 

[Invincible Salads]

no one mentioned lanterns b1 strings? those are pretty damn good too.

B1 is super punishable, b12 has a huge gap, b13 is negative on block and all options can be MB b3'd or backdashed....

still has pretty good reach tho.

did anyone mention catwomans b2, or whatever that move is where she shoves her claws in ur face? lol, not really a block string, but still really damn good.

 

[IrishMantis]

I actually think Atros B21 is better than his F2

 

[Wigy]

I think supergirls b1 string looks better than it is cause her stupid safe launcher.

If you’re talking about a string without the other tools a character has it has to be f23.

You can’t mash b12 ice breath forever, so f23 is dumber on block.

 

[EntropicByDesign]

Kinda depends on if we're talking within the context of the character that has it, or taken and evaluated without supporting tools.

Either way though f23 is, imo, the best string in the entire game and I don't think it has a real competitor no matter how you look at it.

I've been fiddling with Joey in training mode on occasion when I have a second, and I never realized how good his f23 was, especially paired with b232

 

[Wolverine32]

I think catwoman’s f1123 string should be on the list. Great range, f1 is 0 on block. Every other hit is -6 or -5 so it’s safe stagger pressure. It has a gap. But no one exploits it that often or at all. Her b12u3/d3 string is great too, advancing low safe hit confirmable meterless launcher. F1 is better imo but b1 is still a great button too
