Characters who can punish divekick

Sinestro
Black Adam
Green Lantern
Aquaman
Doomsday
Catwoman ( if it hits over the shoulder)
Hawkgirl
Superman
Ares ( if it hits below chest)
Lex
Green arrow
Bane
Shazam ( D1 if chest and up, sweep if it hits the torso)

Will test more later.

This is fucking tragic.

He can also body splash it for full combo on reaction to your jump. Doomsday might be Adams only bad MU in my eyes right now. And its a bitch to deal with this early.
no he cant, only if you actually let the jump float, if you instantly do a divekick he cant body splash, itl be a read.

Divekick being punishable on block is fine, you shouldnt just be able to throw them out to get in for free. EX Divekick being + on block is legit, you cant really ask for much more than that.

Isn't it kind of hard to get the punish out though? I've notice that people d1 it, but it still seems rough and you have to cancel it to get the full punish.

Reminds me kind of like smoke doing whiffed telepunches above their heads. It works once at most. After that expect to be punished so you might as well remove that option all together.

MOAR NEW TECH

3/4 screen instant divekick can only be punished by superman
How are you testing this?

put lex as the dummy on always block, reversal ON, reversal with Corp Charge , which is 6 frames.

Surely if anything can punish it, that can!

yeah

considering yall dont use so much divekick to check ppl im surprised im the only dude here whos psycho about space control

must be a subzero thing
In alot of matches, laming out a life lead with bolts and backing off seems the way to win. Divekicking over them when you get backed into a corner is good.

Space control is one thing, but divekicking and putting yourself at - is taking unnecessary risks to do something you didnt even have to do. Back up, throw bolts, and get that bar for EX divekick approaches.

Yeah that's his end round quote, and it's the fucking best haha. Oh yeah btw, who else wants a new 52 Black Adam costume as badly as I do? Shazam got his, where is ours?! ;__; I'm not worried I know it's coming.

I already called this. This is the post-flashpoint costume i was referring to before!

It's not so much I don't use it. I just most of the time use ex. There really isn't any reason not to use it. If it's blocked you get pressure, if not you get 40%. That's what we in the business call a win/win.
