I could not for the life of me get the f3 to connect, I tried that last night and thought the link was impossible haha. Is this height dependent?

try dashing once and trusting the f3 range, sometimes you have to hold it and release it.
You can always link it(I think) but the height does change the timing yeah , the higher your divekick hits the harder it is iirc
Essentially agree 100%. But where did he get a buff at? Also, why is "mb black magic is hella awesome now"? Isn't it the same as before, only now that you have to use meter?
Mb black magic prepatch didnt scale for dmg anywhere near as well as it does now. And since non metered black magic pre patch had so much hit stun there was no reason for him to spend bar. So they made so you cant launch with it meterlessly anymore (not a big deal cuz trait cancels into 22b1 for meterless combos) but they compinsated by making mb black magic this patch scale WAY better for dmg so its worth spending bar on. Legit you can full screen mb black magic dash up and b3 for a full combo doing between 380 to 400 dmg depending on the match up. Its awesome sauce. They also made b2 (his overhead move) faster at 15 frames down from 19 frames.
In fact mb black magic scales for dmg so well now that it replaced mb lightning cage in all his bnb's
theres some exceptions though because LC is safer on block if you do anything unhitconfirmable (like b2 LC to avoid aquaman trait)
Damn! I got so use to Lightning Cage. Now I haveta learn all over again.....
Good news, its easier to combo with mb black magic than mb lightning cage. And the combo is the same as well. Just where you normally us mb lightning cage, use mb black magic instead. Simple.
lol what are you talking about? b2 wasn't changed, it was never 19 frames.
Then im mistaken. I thought i remembered reading it at 19 for whatever reason. I must be thinking of a diff. Characters move. Oopsie el oh el
1. We have a lot of ways to score hits despite not really having 50/50s. The main way for us to get a hit and start a combo is through establishing a neutral and punishing them for doing different things. You can catch people pressing buttons when they are negative with our 6f d1 (we can get a combo with trait), you can whiff punish people with our 8f f1, you can catch people jumping with j1. All of these are reactionary or are in anticipation (a read) of the opponent doing something, so you need to establish your neutral game depending on the matchup.Hey guys, super noob here looking for some general inj2 + Black Adam tips. Thanks in advance!
1. I notice when i play online that everything I try with Black Adam get's blocked. A friend of mine told me it was cause he's a super popular character. However, high level Black Adam players (like Dragon for example) have somehow figured out a way to keep people guessing. What can I do in training to get more tricky? I feel like Adam only has a few options...
2. Last week's Inj tourney mentioned a lot about "reactions" and why they are so important. I scored really well on a online reaction test, but i feel like my reactions in game are weak as hell. Any tips on getting better at reactions?
3. (ok last question lol) I tend to "freak out" when I'm in the middle of a match, and find myself mashing buttons and just doing anything. Then when I notice I'm doing this, I start thinking about the fact that I'm doing it and that throws me off even more. Eventually I get super mopppped lol. Any advice on that?
Plus frame throws, use trait for plus frames and chip.If you're not doing it, you aren't truely playing Black Adam.Also memorize the divekick conversion by heart, it is one his most important tools as a hard to react un-whiff punishable instant-airable overhead launcher.Use back2 at optimal range in order to prevent your opponent from blocking(it hits overhead and is hard to react, also tends to outrange most down pokes)Hey guys, super noob here looking for some general inj2 + Black Adam tips.

Thanks bro. Man that IA dive kick is killing me. Been in practice for exactly 23 minutes now and still can't hit it consistently.
Make sure you lean your thumb in the correct motion for better ia divekicks.
Whoa that was super solid advice man thanks. Especially that last piece about slowing down a bit. Haven't played many matches online today, but that single addition to my gameplay has already shown results. I normally freak out when I'm being pressured by a character (in the corner or frame traps -- they always make me panic). But using your tactic, just slowing down a bit and thinking instead of freaking out, I came back from 2 very very bad life deficits. Thanks man!
I find the hardest part is the d1 df1 sometimes not launching, but I've found it's due to you not getting the bomb out early enough, since you have to do the d1 it seems at the max height.
For the scenarios thing, I think it comes down again to matchup knowledge and understanding your options vs. your opponent's options in a given situation. I think a good way to learn this stuff would be to simply play, and whenever you recognize a character or tool that gives you trouble, take it to the lab and figure out what you can do about it.
Yeah you have to delay it, if I did it too fast he'd just do df1, once you learn how long to delay it you'll never drop it, just depends on the bomb sometimes not launching them after the df1
