Awesomo i got bad news man. I dont think d1 in to trait is reliable. It only works 100% for me on the biggest characters (doomsday, bane, grundy) cause when i d1 any character smaller (even black adam himself) the d1 crumples their head forward causing the next linking part in standing 1 to whiff and the combo drops out. This sucks. So 11 trait is the most reliable punisher still and d1 hands to get out of pressure and get some damage. D1 trait may still have some frame traps but using it for that 51% combo isnt going to work most of the time.
Ya I know, you cant hit confirm it until the 2nd 1 hits, I dont think theres a way to hit confirm the d1 into trait so you kinda just have to mash it out :\ oh well

Watch tower:
j2, 22,(t)22b1, nj2>db3, 22b1>MB db1, dash behind during bounce and use interact for the standing reset %51.

It's still very good. Sure, they "can" block. But you could always mixup with close Dive Kick MB or double cross-up. And if you go for a regular cross-up and they block it they are still in the corner and under pressure. It's not bad imo.

51% into guaranteed mixup and opponent can't wake up attack.

I'm new to Black Adam and have been learning his combos before I go online with him. I was wondering how practical are the trait combos for this guy? His trait does seem to be usable pretty fast after it's used. And is it really unblockable, that's what it says when it hits in practice mode?

They are very practical, but you shouldn't limit the use of your trait to just combos. :) also yes it's all unblockable but doesn't cause hit stun.

Combo wise, I tried to learn to a meterless traitless combo, meter traitless combo, meter and trait combo, and a super combo. I was just curious if you get the chance to utilize them a lot or not. But thanks for you're help, would you mind telling me his best pressure string and does he have any low starters for combos?

It really depends on your playstyle, some BAs are super agressive and spam the crap out of trait, some are patient and save them for juicy moments or when footdiving.

The traitless combos do around 40ish percent, which is still hefty. I tend to use the traitless ones alot cause the timing is odd for some trait cancels.

For pressure, use his B2,3 string. Its +on block and most people just duck or attack because the delay is weird.

I planned to play a mixed type of BA depending on the match ups/situations, but I typically play more rush down style. How do you combo off of the footdive? Do you have to dash up or use the MB verison?

Check out the video I posted on this page, it shows a MB divekick combo. You cant combo really anything from a footdive, but it does combo into things.

When is it good to use MB divekick? And what're his best AA options? I was having trouble finding any and kept getting ran over by Superman and Aquaman lol

Most of the time a MB divekick is used at midscreen to punish some projectile or missed move by the opponent.

I'll keep that in mind. I watched your video again to learn the MB divekick combo too. You're very helpful, thanks a lot. If you ever wanna learn Batman, GL, Nightwing or Bane, ask me stuff lol I wish I could contribute but I'm still new to BA and the combo thread is already full of great stuff.

Playing Black Adam with a broken controller + online + laggy TV = nightmare
I know exactly how you feel lol. Minus the bad TV.

I've spent so much time in training mode I forgot how bad the netcode is for this game. I can't even do simple shit like 1,1 xx black magic for some reason. My execution is almost 90% offline but once I hop online the timing seems way different. I even have trouble doing trait in the middle of strings and combos. It sucks so much. I have to blindly mash and hope that everything connects like its supposed to. :/

I've recently switched to SF controls with negative edge off to see if this will help but so far it's the pretty much the same. I just have to get used to the online timing I think.

yup, d1XXorbs 1,1xxCage-MB b3 j3 b23 1+3. Im having some trouble hit confirming , so I mash it out. Once I get to the 1,1 thats when I can tell if Ive combod or not, so I go for the rest or for Lightning Hands.
For those of you who are doing this combo ^^^ Are you on XBOX 360? I was trying this briefly on PS3 and the 11 was not linking and it was whiffing half of the time.

If anyone has done this on PS3 let me know because atm this seems console specific :(

It works only all the time on the big ass characters. On others its very unreliable.
