Do it on reaction especially if he is staggering strings.
Also, D2's will not work against batmans J2. The shin is to great on his crossups.
Bats.
My move stuffs a lot of shit when you are grounded. If the shin was removed I would be 100% fine with it.
1: Not true because like I pointed out if he does it as an AIR TO AIR, he will lose its active frames on the way down, it will not hit a crouching opponent hence why its FREE to all d2s. If you suspect hes going for a cross over or a jump in where he would have to land deeper in order to get a jailing string you will win in the air with a j1. That is the mind game, that is how this game works. I'm sorry its not Mk where "footsies" was literally people just standing still and because pokes and standing normals took priority you could do whatever the fuck on reaction and not make an actual read in anticipation.
2: What strings can batman stagger? None. And don't tell me b1, b11 bullshit because you can easily d1 that on reaction without fear hes going to do it because his d1 won't reach you. And there are quite a few characters he can't even b11 because the the b1(1) will whiff on crouch block and he can be full comboed. b1 (1) already whiffs on hit from max distance.
There is only 1 string he has that he is plus and can go for a jump over on and its 12.
3: If hes using bats with a combination of a jump its most likely going to be for a cross up jump. Block, let him finish his string then reverse pressure. Batman has NO pressure without bats.
4: If you take away the shins hitbox due to his jump arc he would have NO cross up game literally at all. He wouldn't even be able to ex grapple into a cross over j2 combo.
