Beta Black Canary Breakdown Video by REO

[REO]

For anyone who doesn't have access to the beta or is curious what some of Black Canary's moves are I did a small breakdown video going through some of her attacks and moves:

 

[Raiderhorn]

Thank you very much for this. Now I can do some decent combos and have basic knowledge.
Scream cancels could be something to look further into, could be nasty.

 

[DarksydeDash]

I'm loving this character even more than I thought I would.

Hey REO, who do you plan to main so far in I2?

What's the startup on the kick that leads to 50/50, delay or launch? It looks like the ultimate "goto punisher without labbing" as if the attacker was safe and blocks, he's in for 50/50 or delay guess anyway so it's cool if you didn't know you couldn't punish. Being blocked by her is going to be a nightmare.

Btw, I hope they change the "level colors" to something like white-yellow-red rather than yellow-orange-red, as a daltonic I'm having trouble with level 2 and level 3 colors without comparing and I'm not sure there is enough time during a match to check the wave amplitude (I guess you can still check if the bar below is full or filling to know if it's max or level 2, but I'd appreciate if the final release has different colors).

It's S2 which is 11f -9 on block. But you can do 2U3 which is safe at -3 and is a launcher . But it's Mid Mid

She looks like a work of art

Also @REO does she has any plus trait cancel from her strings?

If she doesn't it will probably frame trap with the trait on its own, risking to press buttons will be a nightmare considering all her mobility options and the trait launch threat start from level 2.

Mannnnnn level 2 trait my be my favorite. So much hit stun lol you can go make a sandwich come back and still b3 for full combo

remember this is a beta.

 

[Sunny_D]

She looks perfect! Not broken cause negative on mixups so no nerf pls

 

[REO]

Added a new video to demonstrate her restand potential and continuous combo loops for one bar each if you want to keep the opponent grounded and not deal with wake ups:

DoomsDay if he's in.

I didn't test if she had any trait scream cancels that are plus.

 

[Vithar]

So , the game is not even out but there we go - 50/50 and restands!
People should be vocal against this while there is still time.

 

[TamedLizard]

DoomsDay if he's in.

Sadist!

Great video. Lots of good info. Please update when and if you test trait cancels off of strings. And I may have missed it in the vid, but are all levels of screech safe on block?

I don't have the beta but I'm just asking out of curiosity after watching your video.

Couldn't you backdash after her knee on block (was it standing 2 you said?) and avoid the high low mixup every time? Just thinking about the OS against Batgirls batwheel in Injustice 1

Interesting tid bit! I tested if you could poke out but you could not. Hmm

remember this is a beta.

True but hopefully it stays. It's fine she needs it ! Lol

I was too busy falling in love yesterday to post this and explain it but reo has done it for me . This is a concept me and @Superman Rz came up with yesterday when she first dropped. Literally took us 20 min to find. Basically it's what @REO was explaining in the second video but showing an example of a combo into the ender. I have way better setups than that one but you can see that the restand game is really good in the corner with her and what I most likely will be doing with her 100% as of right now

 

[Raiderhorn]

Edited: I've found that Canary's cartwheel in fact can go through projectiles. Strict timing but she can low profile. Watch how Blue Beetle's projectile goes over top of Canary. I do think there is invincibility frames on startup so you could use it to go through if timed correctly but sometimes I happen to slip through like this.

@REO @x TeeJay o @Eddy Wang @others

 

[Raiderhorn]

Okay, a slight update to my previous video. There is no invincibility on startup, it's all a matter of low profiling. I'd get hit by Supergirl's low angled lasers on startup but happen to go through some straight ones.

 

[Hateside]

Would someone mind putting in some of the inputs in the comments (having a hard time keeping up lol) for some of her bnbs/basic combos

 

[WATCHD0G]

I'm just laughing at all those people that we re saying NRS didnt put any thought into her character

A good easy bnb for punishing would be


112 xx MB Bf2,JI2,U3,112 xx Bf2

Fighting games have 50/50s and restands, you know. Even the big famcy famous ones that get the most entrants at evo -- and the little artsy anime ones.

Yeah , but they are not considered a joke like IGAU or MKX and their core pro community doesn't quit a year after the game's release bashing it on Twitch while they stream or making Youtube Videos how bad the situation is right?

Yes you can backdash but you will get hit by 21 no delay string
