Fortress of Solitude Laboratory seems to be the only stage I've found where we can summon trait and grab/slash mid combo. Yields some pretty good damage.

Meterless interactable combo in Fortress of Solitude Laboratory:
Spaceship Interactable, Trait Summon, 12 xx Doomsday Bounce Interactable, Wraith Grab, Full Charge Close Ground Blast, B3, J3, 123 xx Zod Charge: 48%

Or for an easier/more consistent combo off the interactable for decent damage is:

Spaceship Interactable, Trait Summon, 12 xx Doomsday Bounce Interactable, B3, Wraith Grab, Full Charge Ground Blast, 3 xx Zod Charge: 43%

 

[insignis]

for maximum damage meterless you can do f21u2~slow rifle,j2~rifle,dash 12~bounce,j2~fast rifle,j3~charge for 44%

Fortress of Solitude Laboratory meterless from starship:
starship,j2~rifle,j2~fast rifle,dash 12~bounce,j2~slow rifle,j3~charge - 52%
starship,j2~rifle,j2~fast rifle,dash 12~bounce,j2~slow rifle, dash under opponent 123 - 49% + opponent is almost back to the corner + HK for trait summon etc
or an eithier one:
starship,j2~rifle,j2~fast rifle,dash 12~bounce,123 - 47% + HK for trait summon etc

also 22 has enough + on hit to let you actually combo starship in it, so you can cross up opponent, do 22~starship and it will be a combo.

Always jump over them to control the missiles on batcave. Check out this example

Okay I'll update this thread in a few minutes.

I also found a corner interactable setup that works really well:

I'm sure Grundy's wakeup Walking Corpse will beat it, but I don't know if any others will. Maybe Shazam teleport?

I will abuse this. I promise.

^you must remember that they cleverly fixed the stage to prevent this from being too stupid. The first time someone is in the right corner and the opponent jumps over, the rock falls on the car and you can't use it for a few moments. So awesome

Lagoon

Break the pathway on the right corner using MB palm. You can use the canisters to set up an unblockable launcher.

For example, activate trait, mash 4, and toss a canister. The combo would then be...

Canister -> 4 -> Bite -> b+3 -> jump 3 -> 1,2,3 -> MB palm

47%

 

[NY_Jailhouse]

^in that same corner you can do the exact same kinda thing as you can on the upstairs part. You can't get a full combo.though the best Ive got is iazc after the canister hits. However you can probably mb low laser too

aah sick!

Instead of b3 after the kick interactable, can you do ji2, slow ball, ji2 normal ball, dash, 123 xx combo ender ?

Not sure, i'll give it a shot, thanks.

Experimenting on Atlantis, (I personally hate it for Zod, but Supes and Doomsday are common matches for me) and I found out that D1 xx interactable bounce works on hit. Now we have MUCH scarier punish options from a 7f mid, depending on the stage.

Anyone know how + or - we are on block from background bounces?

So Fortress of Solitude Laboratory is becoming one of my favourite stages.

As most of you know, the teleport interactable on the right hand side will extend your combo but only if your opponent is in a juggle state. When your opponent hits the top half of Phantom Strike's hitbox (mid combo or raw), it sets a high enough juggle state that you can mash interactable, and the teleport will grab them, letting you continue the combo and summon trait for free. Considering most of us end our combos with PS, I figured it could prove pretty useful. Will record vids of this later today.

Wait, Side arm doesn't even juggle them when they are grounded? Do you mean after a mb laser/while they jump, then side arm? PS seems like a 1 or 2 frame to me

Forget about interactable combos guys! Background bounces as enders is where it is at:
As I showed in my resent video, ending a combo in bacground bounce, trait activation, dash, neutral jump, is a perfect way to start you trait pressure completely on to of them in a safe and advantageous way.

I explored the BGB's further, and they seem to be great enders for combos even with out having trait ready:
By doing bgb (wait 0.1 sec), forward dash, forward dash back to where the opponent landed you can either do neutral jump 1,2 or 3.

j2 and 3 will cross up on the neutral jump every time and neutral jump 1 will not cross up.

Also, on stages where you start with a back ground bounce in the middle of the screen (Or in neutral game ofc), you can option select with: f2[interactable]13.

Edit: It seems that if you dash twice and hold up as fast as possible all jumps will cross up, but j1 will land on the same side even when it crosses. What you can do is to just press back 0.1 sec after dashing the 2nd time, you will not cross up with any of the jumps. In other words; you can control if you cross up or not.

Is the dash timing cross up the same as off a grounded B1,2,3? I'll try to add this to my game, thank you sir!
