STRATEGY:
ANTI ZONING:
Captain Marvel's db4 2/4 teleport is basically made for this and this only. you cannot just throw the db4 2/4 because its way to easy to punish with a launcher on reaction, it must be used as an anti-zoning tool and not a way to get close to the opponent. db4 4 is unbreakable so if you need the damage and the opponent has meter you can finish with this, its great for punishing a GL or Kahn zoning attempt while avoiding combo breaker.
POKING:
Captain Marvel has advantage on d1, 113, and 3 on block or and on b4 on hit only. 113 and 3 are all mids so you can mix up with a b4 or throws. because 11 is so slow he cannot follow up his adv on block with 11. after 3, d1, or 113 are blocked Captain Marvel can be beat out of his 1 even though he is at advantage because his jab isnt fast enough. this gives him 2 options after d1, 113, or 3 get blocked.
1. u2 to beat out any strike or a jump attempt.
2. d1 to beat out any strikes.
Captain Marvel's high b1 launcher has a lot of advantage on block. after b1 is blocked he can follow up with another b1 or. because now he is at a greater advantage, 113 or 3. so there are some good trape in close here. 3 and 113 are mids so in respecting those not only can Captain Marvel use is b4 low which will keep them in the same mix up, but he can also use b1 because they wont be ducking it out of respecting the mids and thus having a bigger advantage to follow up on when its blocked. obviously you cant allow Captain Marvel to hunt with a frame adv launcher so at times the opponent will have to crouch which frees up his 11, 113, 3, u2, etc..
USING SPECIALS:
db1 lightning bolt is a great way to bait out an anti zone punisher. by using db1 from far range the opponent may be baited to get into a zoning battle with you which can get them to carelessly anticipate you doing a db1 so they continue to side step and zone. when they do this is when you use db4 2 and punish the opponent for zoning carelessly.
db3 is great on wake up or when you dash in and stop short and vs breaker combo characters. on wake up you can dash in and db3 and if the opponent tries to block or jump forward they will be hit. they key is to place the move on screen as the opponent is rising, if you do this right they will not recover in time to jump forward past the lightning. dashing in then canceling your dash just short of the opponent is another great use. sometimes you can catch opponents reacting to your forward dash and punish them for trying to meet you with an attack by canceling your dash with db3. db3 also works great for punishing a character with breaker combos when then stand there holding f+block trying to land an obvious breaker. if knocked down you can cancel you recovery frames with db3 for a wake up unblockable. after db3 hits vs cornered opponents you can follow up with a guaranteed bf4*2 pro bear hug for a quick juggle.
bf4 is you main ranged punisher and a move that you can take a risk with to "check" the opponent. on wake up you can recover faster by canceling you recovery frames with bf4 and this will connect on an opponent trying use pressure with normals. also, if the opponent is a little closer then mid range and side stepping or trying to back up you can "check" them with bf4 because of how fast it comes out. you can use the treat of this to get in from mid to closer ranges because the opponent will then respect the threat of bf4 but in doing so it allows Captain Marvel to come forward for pressure.
db2 SHOULD only be used as closer ranged punisher vs when a character has a breaker as the attack is unbreakable.
