Guide Black Adam info on meter building

All tested in training mode.

Strings build very little meter on hit and on block:
-13x 2,2,b1 on hit = 1 bar.
-64x b2,3 on block = 1 bar.

Special Moves build much more:
-6x Lightning Strike on hit/block = 1 bar.
-6x Lightning Cage on hit/block = 1 bar.

Some moves build more meter on block than on hit:
-7x Lightning Storm on hit = 1 bar. 6x on block = 1 bar.
-7x Lightning Bomb on hit = 1 bar. 6x on block = 1 bar.
-7x Dive Kick on hit = 1 bar. 6x on block = 1 bar.
-9x Black Magic on hit = 1 bar. 7x on block = 1 bar.

EX/Meter Burn Moves:
-4x Lightning Strike MB on hit = 0.85 meter gain.
-4x Lightning Strike MB on block = 1.10 meter gain.

Combos:
-j2, b2,3, 1,1 xx Black Magic, dash, b2,3, u, 1+3 = 0.34 meter gain.
-j2, 1,1 xx Trait, b2,3, 1,1 xx Black Magic, dash, b2,3, u, 1+3 = 0.45 meter gain.

Black Adam's character trait builds meter upon activation:
-13x Trait = 1 bar. (8 sec cooldown before you can activate Trait again)

First I thought this was a universal thing but apparently it isn't. Not every character's trait builds meter. Not sure if it's only Black Adam's, but one thing I know for sure: I will be activating my trait as soon as it becomes available now. :) Every second you have your trait ready and don't activate it, it's potential meter you lose. How many times do you activate trait per match? Count it next time!

Note that only activating the Trait builds meter. The individual orbs do not build meter on contact with the opponent.
