Black Adam anti air

How do you deal with jump in cross ups with black Adam?

I've been dashing under batmans who only jump in as I've found lightning cage to work 50% of the time. D2 is better than i thought but still struggles against a few characters, still reccomend it though.

Yea I've noticed lightning cage to be a bit gimicky. D2 works very rarely as well currently for me. Can try forward dashing thanks for advice!

d2 works well with jump ins, crossups not so much

 

[jaythatruth]

What about his D1? It would appear that it would cover crossups, not to mention, it appears you get full combo punish if it lands.

D2 is not so bad, I initially thought it was bad but it actually works, not against Batma ofc lol.

F1 might work too.

D2 if you can get it out fast enough. Usually I forward dash when cornered and backdash f3 when midscreen.

Not sure how good it is, but in Inj1 I used J1 a TON, that shit stays active for so long. While messing with this, I just found out that j1 can cross up now? lol

Edit: ok, this is weird. It's not crossing up, but im landing on the other side. Could be some good shit here? it all matters how early/late I'm doing the j1. If you have your practice settings all default, you can mess with it from this distance. I have flash as the dummy, so maybe that is what's giving me this weird situation, I imagine he's a small hitbox. I'll try it with someone bigger.

edit2: It's working against grodd

Oh, wow, you're right, lol. Trying it now vs Adam dummy's crossup j2 and it's pretty damn consistent.

EDIT: Trades sometimes but it's still more consistent than I thought.

I think both his and Darkseid are both anti airs

What's the theory behind this working? Ducking and poking beating out a jump in? For whiffs or what? I'll try it tomorrow

This is probably the best option as d2 will often hit in the wrong direction and db3 gets stuffed effortlessly.

Black Adam's AA is really strong from standard ranges

- D2 any normal jump ins
- if you are too close and think a jump is coming, air-to-air with your fastest button and convert into combo, like any other character would (j.1 typically)

It's a good idea to nj.1 or jump forward 1 instead of back, that way you can get a confirm if it connects.

Watch your spacing. The moment they get too close for D2 to be effective, remove it from your mind and focus on landing your air-to-airs. A2As will have higher damage yield as they don't scale as much as a D2 starter does. They are really good if you have the read on a close range jump.
