Mbb3, ji3, 223, lift/boulder boulder:43% Lift:42%
B3 J3 F2 223 Lift
Just ji3, it beats all his wakeups except wake up d2 and it should keep you safe from shield
This has been really helpful. Thank you sir!!
Can't you gain a bit more damage with 123 instead of 223?
Yeah probably, I didn't get to check it
You don't get anything out of it though, right? Water shield will absorb the j3, and if he MBs yes you can block but now you've given up your turn.
Well I mean it's better than just sitting there and respecting
Yeah agreed, but it sucks that Aquaman doesn't need to take our mixups after we knock him down. This is matchup changing in my opinion. Aquaman that does wake up water shield a lot changes this from 5-5 to a matchup where Aquaman wins.
By the way, I don't think Aquaman can d2 you if you time the j3 meaty enough. This is why I used to think Aqua was free on wakeup (prior to discovering wake up water shield).
Supermang
I'm salty about that too. I loved Oa rocketPretty much everyone lol
Alright guys im salty af. I just got Oa's Rocket and created a loadout with no gear on, just abilities (Oa and Air Oa). Not only did I feel right at home with this character, but his damage output and pressure increases greatly! MB Rocket is +10 on block and jails after 223 despite being a high. Why you limit this to gear NRS??
Do you know if he still takes damage while in shield? And no one really has to take our mixups if they delay wake up unless you're reading he's gonna delay wake up
I agree delayed wake up makes GL mixups worse - they're not true 50/50s. However GL still has decent options against delayed wake up for most characters: (1) delay your setup to hit them as they get up after the delayed wake up (2) doing a j3 into a slightly delayed string will cause j3 to hit vs regular wake up and the string to hit vs the delay.
he's always lost to Superman, he gets outneutraled and outzoned plus the damage difference. and superman doesnt have to deal with any f3 setups he can just wake up.
he probably loses to all of them tbh. cant zone aquaman and cant outfootsie him either not to mention the damage. in the last game GL had air rocket so he could zone aquaman or make him rush in, in this game aquaman controls the pace and you have to go in and all his normals have no hurtbox and have the same range as b1 or mroe plus he has the best d2 in the game so no jumping in shenanigans and j1 is useless. its just uphill. im not saying aquaman destroys GL but it definitely feels like he wins.
Yeah but batman and catwoman are probably worse. Quit downplaying
GL can outdone aquaman you just have be patient make sure you block every from the deep and then counter with exploding lantern. You do more chip and they have to respect it. You can also punish with mbbf1 not really advisable. Its still a hard matchup but playing keepaway is a viable strategy when he gets in is the issue.
you sound like you dont even know what downplaying is lol
he cant outzone aquaman,. and aquaman can block every exploding lantern after a ftd. and the chip seems about equal. plus if you ever whiff an exploding lantern you eat around 23% from fullscreen and all he has to do is dash forward to make you whiff
You're 100% correct. It's very different than injustice 1, but patient GL zoning does not lose to Aquaman zoning. It's up close where Aqua has an advantage due to chip and damage, but it's not worse than 6-4 imo.
Why are you randomly whiffing exploding lantern? The full screen game for GL vs Aquaman is not about throwing out projectiles preemptively. You wait for him to do stuff then check or punish. Exploding lantern does do more chip and should only be used after you block a projectile. You also get guaranteed punishes with mb battery blast.
Just to clarify GL can not "punish" FTD with Exloding Lantern, correct? It's more of a counter?
Pretty sure you can't. Don't have the game in front of me as I'm at work, but I'm pretty sure it's just your turn to chip him from afar. Or maybe catch them asleep and not blocking/jumping, etc.
As far as I know the only way GL can punish a blocked FTD is to use MB Battery Blast
