BUFF LOW GUNSHOTS IN THE NEXT PATCH!
I am kidding, fools.
Everybody in the community knows that I complain about low gunshots a lot, but Deathstroke is still one of my main characters. In this thread, I would like to share my match up numbers. I may leave question marks for several match ups due to lack of experience and/or match up knowledge.
Deathstroke vs.
Aquaman 4-6
Notes: Aquaman has great footsies which lead to lots of damage. He can punish high and low gunshots at certain distances with the trident. He can out-turtle Deathstroke with a life lead using the trident and trait. If you try to punish the trident when the trait is activated, he blocks the second bullet and either gets a punish or guaranteed check.
Ares ?-?
Notes: None.
Bane 6-4
Notes: None.
Batgirl ?-?
Notes: I have yet to play somebody who is competent with the character.
Batman 4-6
Notes: Batman cannot punish low gunshots, but it does not matter because he gets in easily with proper bat management. His combos carry to the wall, where he has some ridiculous set ups and pressure with bats, batarangs and MB batarangs.
Black Adam 5-5
Notes: Deathstroke can somewhat limit Black Adam unlike the vast majority of characters.
Catwoman ?-?
Notes: 16 Bit insists that Deathstroke wins, but I cannot trust this man's infamous downplaying until I experience the match up myself.
Cyborg 6-4
Notes: Cyborg can do nothing but zone, yet Deathstroke's anti-zoning tools are one of the best in the game.
Deathstroke 5-5
Notes: Annoying mirror match but not as painful to watch and play as pre-patch.
Doomsday ?-?
Notes: I am not sure. Deathstroke should technically do well. Doomsday relies a lot on knockdowns and pressure, but Deathstroke's wake up attacks are one of the best in the game.
Flash 3-7
Notes: This match up is bad. Be sure to watch the Kryptonian Academy Podcast when AK Harold and Zyphox are guests. We will analyze this match up.
Green Arrow ?-?
Notes: Has anybody ever played or even seen this match up?
Green Lantern 5-5
Notes: Green Lantern gets dominated anywhere on the screen but close and mid range, where he has a tremendous advantage due to b+1 and lift.
Harley Quinn ?-?
Notes: I have no clue, but I would assume that on paper Deathstroke wins 6:4.
Hawkgirl 7-3
Notes: Hawkgirl sucks. Extremely one dimensional character.
Joker ?-?
Notes: I have no clue, but I would assume that on paper Deathstroke wins 6:4.
Killer Frost 4-6
Notes: Iceberg punishes blocked low gunshots anywhere on the screen, but the MB version is safe.
Lex Luthor 6-4
Notes: I think Deathstroke wins, but I am concerned about smart Lex players who know how to get in and use the Corp Charge properly.
Lobo 6-4
Notes: Lobo relies on knockdowns and pressure, but Deathstroke's wake up attacks are one of the best in the game.
Martian Manhunter 5-5
Notes: MMH is an even match up based on my early impressions fighting REO.
Nightwing ?-?
Notes: Nightwing could be trouble.
Raven 4-6
Notes: She punishes any one of Deathstroke's projectiles as long as she is in range for the squeeze. I say 4-6 now but could perhaps be even in the future.
Scorpion ?-?
Notes: Does anybody even use this fool any more?
Shazam ?-?
Notes: A character based on gimmicks. I need more experience.
Sinestro 5-5
Notes: None.
Solomon Grundy 5-5
Notes: If you get thrown and the Grundy player activates the shield, you will have a very difficult time fighting this character.
Superman 4-6
Notes: f+2 is too much for Deathstroke. At least he wins the distance battle.
Wonder Woman ?-?
Notes: Few players use Wonder Woman. Not sure why, but I am concerned about this match up after seeing what F0xy does.
Zod ?-?
Note: I was wrong when I said Zod is mediocre. His ability to manipulate interactables is one of the best in the game.
Comment, question, criticize.

. I play both, and have a little experience in this matchup.
