I just played a really good Superman today and i find it hard to believe Flash is top 3. Can someone give me any reasoning why Flash is better than MMH, Superman, Aquaman, Black Adam, Batman? or even Batgirl, Green Lantern, Nightwing, Killer Frost, Wonder Woman? He is a solid rushdown and overall has everything a rushdown character should have. Despite all his tools, I feel like he is still outside of top 5 with all the tools other characters have. Flash finds a 1 meter reset and he is all of a sudden top 3? KF must be the best in the game then. I'd have to disagree on this one guys.. Flash is not top 3. (imo)
Well I'll try and go into much detail for my reasoning as I can so here go's.
Its not the standing reset that's just there to mix up once in a while. But the ability to have free pressure and 50/50 on any starter with a bar through OTG sonic pounds now. Just the fact that he is a walking hard to react mix up with quite possible one of the best whiff punishing moves in the game was spectacular enough. Add in to account all his trait tech, corner mix ups, vortexes, great frame traps, stupid hitbox, and his advantage at the start of the round, Flash has a lot going for him to be number 3.
Character specific reasons, don't take them to heart. Just me playing sets and watching tournament videos and how Flash would compete at that level.
MMH: I don't have much experience versus him and just lab time, but I think he is the best in the game with all the tools hes got. Rushdown wise, you should only feel threatened when he's got trait and MB Orbs. possible 5-5 MMH
Wonder Woman: I believe she's the runner up in the game, great normals, amazing stances, air dash and some real good mix ups to boot. Goes even with Flash 5-5
Killer Frost: Slide, F3, vortex, and zoning that's Frosts game. Rushdown wise, I am certain she doesn't have more than 3 notable normals for pressure. Those being b1, d1, d2? her zoning's not really threatening either. Flash scores one good hit, goes to town on ol Frosty. 6-4
Batman: I would have said he was better at keeping us out and that's it, but with the nerf to b23 and trait, go in and he's done. 6-4 our favor.
Superman: I don't really see the struggle with Clark, if you block a Straight Laser you get a free dash in even if he meter burns it. The good poke got nerfed leaving Flash with more room to work with, now only gotta look out for Standing 3 into trait for his real mix ups on block. Again only played a couple of Supes who used every tool he had. 5-5
Black Adam: I can't even tell you, PSN lobbies have some of the worst examples of good Adam play. I believe its a 5-5 tho, always has been since the dash buff.
Green Lantern: When he's got you in the deadzone, get one good MB Lighting Charge, if you screw up he gets back to zoning. Just a typical match with the Lantern. 5-5 possible 6-4 GL's favor.
As for the other characters, don't wanna go into much detail, but fall on the same category as above. Everything that gives Flash trouble is minimal with the cast, besides Wonder Woman (to an extent) MMH and Batgirl.
