Black Canary General Discussion 2.0

[Tiger Wong]

For the D2, jump and do the air Canary Drop around it.

For F12, whiff punish with D2. Make sure to start crouching when you're in BAs F12 range.

 

[thlityoursloat]

so heres a matchup puzzle for you, you got a black adam who keeps backing away from you, d2's you anytime u try to jumpin, and f12's you everytime you try to advance, what do you do?

Sounds really easy to deal with. Air canary drop fucks with jump in punish attempts hard and you can just d3 every f1 attempt.

 

[Tiger Wong]

The thing about the d3 vs f1 is that even though it ducks it easily, Black Adam is one of those bullshit floating characters. When he does f1, the d3 will duck it, but the d3 will whiff.

That's why I suggested D2.

Hi. I have a question. I fought against a bc who from time to time ended his combos with a something like 33 cartwheel. This way He kept on my feet then hit me with a 2. Which most of the time i was unable to block nor avoid. I held up, held down, switched block, tried to mash a 4 frames parry, but most times I ended up caught in a devastating reset. Can anybody shed light on this matter?

Canary is underrated. This isn't a braindead character.
Conditioning must be key with her. Cause playing patient canary is low key intimidating.
One opportunity and she kills you.

Can I have the link to the canary discord (if there is one) please

Something about this game has been bothering me, why is it that Canary can high parry:
-Grodd's stampede run
-Robin's run
-Superman's Dash Punch
- Even a max range F/B3 from Scarecrow...

but not Bane's charging run? It doesn't make any sense.

hehe yeah. Its just not meant to be parried. They took the ability to parry it away from KF early in IGAU as well :-(

How are you guys dealing with Braniac, that instant air foot dive and those tentacle shenanigans give me the blues

 

[SavageJack908]

Does anyone have the link to the discord? Also I haven't played many Braniacs, but the ones I have played I needed to use air canary drop to get in a lot. Braniac's d2 is nice but it's slow and jumping back and then using air canary drop is a good way to bait the dive kick

Canary concept we could've had

 

[SavageJack908]

How useful is it to do Canary's trait cancels? Does it leave you plus? What are some good followups to it if you commit to doing it?

Its definitely another layer of gameplay you can run with, but I'm not entirely sure how plus you would be (I'm pretty sure doing it off of any useful string of hers will still leave you negative).

It is, however, somewhat useful in the meterless vortex loop. Using her J2 21/23 mixup followed by a cry "charge" for a split second, you can confirm the hit and release, or confirm a block and cancel the cry. But there is definitely a window before the cancel that your opponent can poke out, so it takes some conditioning to stop that. I typically let the cry go for the first several attempts (level 2 is only -5 on block so you're pretty safe on block anyway), until they become trained to wait for the scream before taking their turn. After that, you can start using that charge to confirm your hits and cancel if blocked, saving you 1 level of cry to get back to looping her vortex faster.

does canary have a sort of corpse hop setup that reverses inputs on wakeups?

 

[jcbowie]

does canary have a sort of corpse hop setup that reverses inputs on wakeups?

Doesn't her front handspring do that?

 

[Madog32]

does canary have a sort of corpse hop setup that reverses inputs on wakeups?

can't remember if this is an input reversal, or they just do it facing the wrong way, but if you do a BnB in the corner and end with something like 112~DF3 or 33~DF3 then immediately NJ and do a late 2, you will cross them up and they will be waking up in the wrong direction

Midscreen you can cartwheel over their body after 1121+3 and if your timing is right they will wake up in the wrong direction. But again, I don't think this is actually reversing their inputs as much as just switching sides as they wake up to make it whiff

 

[EyeOfThundera822]

Had NO idea that Canary getting pushblocked steals a level off scream from her. Interesting.

I'm coming back soon Birdfam

It's why I stagger s2 to counter act PB. I catch a lot of ppl who get hit cus they end up just walking forward lol

How do I get in with this character? Seems like that's the hardest part for me.

 

[HellblazerHawkman]

Am I high? I thought her handspring specials were supposed to be safe now. Not like, SAFE safe, but safer with enough pushback on block to stop you from getting punished. Am I remembering that incorrectly? Just getting back into this game, it's like everything I thought I knew was a lie

How do I get in with this character? Seems like that's the hardest part for me.

In general, or against specific characters?

What does our canary need in order for her to become better? I believe a better D2 (since it sucks) and better neutral control or somehow pressure.I believe she is a balanced character but gets overshadowed by flash and others.
