Breakthrough Black Adam space control

Lawless Victory!
Below is a diagram showing Black Adam's space control at any one point in time. It does not include jump ins; certain specials (and MBs); traits; strings or supers.

Please note this may not be 100% accurate as I do not have the exact hit box data - this is just stuff I've been able to figure out in training mode.

Legend:

Red: Lightning Charge (minimum distance of 4 character spaces; will hit crouching opponents but whiffs on Catwoman's cat stance)

Purple: Lightning cage
Purple star: Lightning bomb ranges (Short is 2 character spaces; normal is 5; long is 8)

Not shown: Black magic and lightning bolt as these track, but can be avoided. The hit boxes on both of them however are actually quite good. When I tested them, they'd hit opponent's landing from a jump (i.e mid-air).

Blue: Standing 1
Blue dots: Back 1 (might be difficult to see because it overlaps with back 3)
Blue double line: Down 1

Yellow: Standing 2
Yellow dots Back 2
Yellow dash box: Forward 2
Yellow double line: down 2 (overlap with 3 and B+3)

Orange: Standing 3
Orange dots: Back 3 (slightly further range than standing 3)
Orange dash box: Forward 3
Orange double line: down 3

1 square on the temple floor = approx. 1 character space

Notes:
* Some overlap on certain normal's (particularly b+1 and back 3)

* Back 3 range not so hot. Although in fairness his character hit box does move back as he charges.

* Back 2 is his best ranged normal attack followed closely by forward+2 and forward+3

* Down 3 has deceptive range. It hits slightly further than 2 character spaces away

* Not shown are his foot dives due to so many possibilities/angles. So whilst it may look like his reach overall isn't too hot, please remember he has foot dives which help him control space - extremely well might I add!


Enjoy and please feel free to tag anyone who may find this information useful. Thanks!

Nice, thanks for doing this! A couple things:

-Typo, I think you meant B2 has the best range, not B3.
-Lightning Storm's hitbox doesn't go all the way to the ground, it whiffs on Cat Stance Catwoman.
 
Interesting to see approximate hitboxes visually.

Like I thought, 2 can be use as a somewhat legit AA. But now I'm more interested in f3/b3 and b2 as AAs...

Yeah I was using MB B3 as an AA, but maybe I should be using F3 instead. B3 does have the advantage of sometimes moving you back far enough that you don't have to MB it, though.
