His zoning game can be very solid actually. That's the thing about Lantern. Good at everything, great at nothing. If you're in a MU where you have to run away and zone, using ORs, AORs, MG as well as using these with trait. AOR recovers faster, MG has farther reach and they all do more damage and chip damage.
I also like to use MB version of RP too since a lot of ppl don't see it coming and it has even more advantage on it. I'll start using trait more when I'm zoning and see how it works out for me.
I dont like to use it too much. it doesnt go full screen, you'll lose the trade if the opponet trys to zone you back, you can jump it dash it and crouch it. it only hits when it explodes not during the travel time so if you use wrong distance then they can start zoning you back. i only use it when they're not trying to counter zone you or anything and really respecting GL's zoning. but theres almost no one that does that so idk
yeah with GL's zoning you want to back them to the corner and use trait zoning to keep them there
Of course you shouldn't use it as his main tool, but I throw it out on occasion to see if I can catch them standing there. I haven't had too many instances where I didn't have the range down, and when I did, the recovery on it is quick enough to block there punish attempt for the most part. Most of the times when I traded it was neutral or in my favor and I got a dash, but this was against Cyborg and Nightwing so it might be character specific. Just an option I thought I would see what ppl think of.
yeah just throwing it out once or twice usually works good. what ive been trying to do lately is end a combo in 223 4 RP. 223 give the hard knockdown and the RP will hit them if they try to wake up and you can follow up with MB minigun for %28. if they dont wakeup you get the +21 on block to start your trait zoning or pressure. ever since that guy found the F3 setup the other day ive been using trait for that though lol
Does RP blow through wakeups?
well its slow enough that it hits after the invincibility frames and 223 puts you far enough to where most WU's wont hit you in time. you will have to switch to close RP or minigun for a few characters wakeups. it works on DS sword spin, on all of DD's wakeups, all of supermans wu's except low scoop which wont hit you at the distance anyway. the only wakeup it doesnt work on is killer frosts slide. ravens soul crush will also trade with RP everytime. everything else i tested was stuffed
A traited RP can. Like ending a combo with 223 then right after hitting Trait then cancel into RP.
thats EXACTLY what i said my last two posts....
That was good just gotta learn more of his BnB's and setups. My favorite Bnb's are b1 MB OR f3 ji2 b13 4 223 LM %41 or b13 4 22 MB OR 223 LM %33. end his combos with setups to. use the F3 crossup that was just found they're pretty much dead if you land it once. or when you were ending your combos in MB LM and dashing over to the other side, the opponet can just wakeup out of that. if you delay your dashup just a little you will appear to be on the other side but at the last second pop back to the same side you started dashing from. that and the ji3 and turbine setup are really useful to.
My GL from a competitive standpoint is only like 3 days old. I'm gonna check out these setups and see if I can apply them.
heres a vid of the dash setup i was talking about just in case
I was using those in most of the games, but not the fake crossup version. Will try this out.
......k?
I got another set-up for the F3 cross up
why would i do 2 bars for %33 into setup when i can do %33 or %36 into setup for 1 bar?
the day1 stuff.
