I really should do a pressure flowchart , it's simple f3 is +10 just go for throw / b2 / b1 / d1 mixups , if they start backdashing there are plethora of options depending on the matchup ( backdash specific of course ) but generally he can punish on a read with another j3 , dash in 323 / b1u2 or just delay 323 /b1u2.

J3 is similar to f3 , if you hit it too high just go for f23 to keep frame advantage if you hit it low same thing as above.

Personally i barely use b222 other than if i feel mixing them up at the end of a round with b222 / b22xxlow gunshot , i mostly go for b22xxSS easy and safe hit confirmable string with MB for some more damage , with no meter i use b23f2.

Alright, been having trouble landing J2 consistently after 1 3 2, any timing tips?

I really can't give you any tips, but against small characters you will have to do the j2 early. I always have a hard time landing it on Zatanna 100% of the time, especially online.

Depends on the character hitbox , on small characters try doing 132 dash forward 1 323 12xxSF / f23xxSF , any other character is easy to hit consistently.

Ok, I use Scorpion as my training dummy, think that may be the problem, I'll try this.

Thanks guys

Red what do you think about 1,2,3 on block into F2,3. Since 123 is 0 on block and f23 7 frames of start up. It should be good against people with slow pokes.

idk do u mean 132? i thought f23 gave too much pushback to land a standing 1.

Yea I meant 132. And I mean do the 132 first, and if it's blocked do a f23 since it comes out fast and it should be good against people with slow d1s.

Try it next time you play someone. I thought about it last night and kinda tested it. 132 doesnt push you back that far so F2 will hit

Who does Deathstroke definitively lose to?

 

[ryublaze]

After blocked f3 i just go straight into low/overhead mix-up and if i read a backdash then i do another f3.

Lamesauce.

Definately Flash, though.

 

[ryublaze]

no i think he loses to some other characters but idk for sure cuz I'm not good at this game and no one posted a complete DS match-up chart yet.

 

[Rampage254]

He has more I'm sure, but I'm not the type of person who talks about MU numbers. But for sure he loses to Flash. I would say AM, BG, DD and some others.

 

[Rampage254]

He loses to WW for sure too, especially when she's in shield stance.

 

[Rude]

So more like six bad match-ups. All right.

Free I'm trying it right now in training mode and 132 has too much pushback and f2 whiffs.

I dont know his other bad MUs cause I'm free at the game.

It should work. I was doing it on Flash. I'm guessing it depends on how their hitbox is when they're standing. What character are you doing it on?
