Question fighting game noob maining catwoman

Where art thou, MKX Skarlet?
Experience and practice. The less strict a combo is on timing, the better suited it is for online.
 
Guess I need her bnb online combos, the ones I destroy on the ai that I learned on my own don't translate online, well,, so I miss by a second then get punished by ez mode bat, supes and lantern, their moves seem so ez
 
m getting better being patient and as a catwoman noob I've given those characters a run for their money but I want to punish their mistakes instead of getting half a string on a whif and paying for it

Catwoman is a very fundamentals-based character. You can mash away with her, but you probably won't get far, and people will zone you out. You want to get familiar with the following:

Frame data (and what "safe" and "unsafe" mean)
Spacing
Whiff Punishing (that's a big one for here)
The concept of High/Low and Mixups
The concept of Oki and Vortexes
Wake ups and baiting/defending against Wakeups

Watching a good Catwoman will help a lot more than trying to figure this out on your own. To start, any videos you can find of Maxter or Krayzie playing Injustice will help. You can check Wednesday Night Fights archives @ http://twitch.tv/leveluplive or find the Toryuken archives at http://twitch.tv/ralstoninstall in the Videos -> Past Broadcasts section of both channels.

Watch and try things, figure out what happened, and see how people deal with various situations. Good luck!

Btw online requires inputting the moves in your strings slightly earlier than usual to compensate for the delay.
 
Thanks, I should have picked an easier character, but when I do get a win with her its much more rewarding, strangely she's the only character I've beat the ai on hard

Questions like this are precisely why I created the combo page in the manner that I did. http://www.testyourmight.com/threads/the-complete-combo-guide-to-catwoman.34372/

Head over there and check out the different formulas for how her combos work. Since it`s online, you should change the Double F3 ender to 1F2. Then you should be set.
