Help Me Find My True IGAU Main!

[ELC]

Forward: So . . . the more I think about it, Bats and Scorpion aren't really for me at all. But I have a tournament I plan on going to in October, so I don't have time to sift through the character select screen for that one character that fits like a PowerGlove. So, please help ^_^.

GGXXAC+: Order Sol
MvC3: C.Viper (only character I've used on all teams)
MK9: Scorpion

Self-Evaluation of FG Main History
Order Sol and Scorpion lend to believe I favor a fear-based rushdown: basically, bait an attack, block or whiff it, then punish accordingly. But Scorpion's EX Spear and Viper's EX ThunderPunch lend me to believe I favor characters that can punish for a decent amount from a good portion of the screen, even when under zoning pressure.

Why don't you hit the lab for an hour with every character and see for yourself which one suits you best?

 

[Rampage254]

Black Adam

MMH sounds like he suits you.

You can punish alot of zoning on reaction with instant air teleport, His trait 22 can punish alot of things from distance and wiff punish, he has a solid 50/50 game, and he has zoning to check your opponent or lock them into a mix-up

Nightwing or Hawkgirl. Nightwing has that rushdown you crave and his staff form allows him to get in from pretty sizable distances...damage though will be rough, but his setups are great so you will easily get a lot of chances...if you dont get zoned out.

Hawkgirl is also a terrific rushdown style that gets in on most of the cast just not folks with fast projectiles that have a completely vertical orientation as they create a wall that shuts down her mace charge and wing evade 3 approaches. Sinestro/MMH can be problems though Zatanna has startup issues vs her speed. All suffer once she is in because they cant shake her though. However her damage is easy, her combos are small and easy to learn and yield good damage and her cornering skills are the best (everything can be meter burned into a followup dash attack to get in and corner push) and wakeup stuffing options are really great. Plus she is a counterpick to Superman which will help you a lot. Great D2 range and her zoning is actually good as any jumping mace toss can be cancelled into flight and other moves or meter burned into diving shoulder attacks to get in. Her strings also high low really well.


Also...I cant agree wtih MMH. He has terrible mids out of trait mode. Force push is great for GTFO but he has to generally try to put up balls on folks to block their ground approach and then send the overhead projectiles to keep them at bay for a good portion of the match in order to stall for trait to cover his midrange game. He's not a rushdown guy and yolo porting can get you horribly punished because folks will bait it and dash out so that it whiffs and leaves you negative a million or something. The overhead teleport is relatively safe on block so expect folks to bait and dash out if they see you try to get in with him. They will mainly only respect the character at a longrange unless you trait up on them. Otherwise they will rush down and then try to avoid your wakeup force palms. He's not bad but you wont get to rush down with him so much...he's a very patient man's character built on space control and not rushdown pressure.

MMH=opponents abusing dash back to whiff punish tactics on you

IMO use who u like man. To many people ride the top tier dick superman has. Serious fuck that play who u like. Shit i still use subzero in MK9 as my main. Why because I want to have fun. If u want to follow the tier whoring BS then use superman. If u want to be original and enjoy the game use who u want!!!
