Well yeah, considering Black Adam's non-existent wake up/reversal options. But I'd say okizeme is more important than rushdown vs BA. Because Black Adam still blows up a lot of rushdown oriented characters with poor oki / air control / mobility.
Aquaman is a pain if you are in close, but he feels the pain from full screen. There are like three or four Aquamans here in Charleston so I feel you on this MU. Anyways back on topic, he seems to have to work his way in on Adam because he eats a lot of damage trying to zone in this MU. He does seem to win the air to air, however I use jump 2 way too much on air to air and I'm starting to recognize jump 1 beats a lot more stuff. Idk how much good it would do against Aquaman though. Up close is kind of back and forth from what I've felt, but if you are outside of sweep range Aquaman seems to have the advantage because of his amazing normals. He also has that amazing uppercut which can really make whiff punishing a pain in the ass, and can stuff dive kick if he reads it as well as any jump ins. As of now it feels pretty even, but only time will tell.
How well does Aquaman's d2 aa, which is amazing, handle adam's iA db3? Seems like you could mix up the timing with nj 2. I don't have a lot of xp with this matchup and was wondering how the 2 do against each other. I know I saw reo as batman mixing up iA db2 with neutral jumps and crossovrs against brady's aquaman trying to AA.
I feel like Batman would have a really hard time getting in on Black Adam, at least from my experience online.
zone, zone, zone. i also play doomsday and know his holes. i don't see this being a problem matchup honestly. ba is good at taking momentum away which doomsday needs.
I never said DD is easy, just that he's not a problem morseo than other characters and that there's nothing specific about this matchup that gives him an edge. Doomsday on the inside is scary against everyone, there's no way around that. ba can get out of there and zone effectively while dd has to chase him down and burn meter sometimes to get there. I'm sure horny smurfer is good, but there's nothing i see that gives dd an extreme advantage. You can try to enlighten me if you'd like. I'm open to it.
Yeah the thing is Aquaman player really don't have a reason to end their combos with it midscreen because it doesn't add that much damage due to scaling at the end of the combo. Most will just use f2 1+3 at the end of midscreen combos. They have corner combos that use it effectively, but it still does around the same. He just gets to keep you in the corner.
I think he means as grounded pressure lol.
Oh gotcha.
My brother has been using all Hawkgirl and I have been using all Black Adam for the little time the game has been out. So this is coming from offline experience. It's too early to say shit but BA has his work cut out for him in this matchup. She negates his zoning completely, don't even bother to zone honestly. I sit back and react and try to capitalize on mistakes every time he may make one. But that dosen't work to often because once she gets the life lead BA has to chase. Idk much more to say lol I hate this MU it is my least favorite by far lol.
