Thing is, I can AA fine but I have to do it on read. Since Shazam's jump arc is low I can D2 at the peak of his jump and win. But once the J2 is active there's no beating it. At least for me.
yeah it could just be online being online. i dont play online anymore. pig's online tournament was the first time i played inustice online in like 2 months and i instantly remembered why i stopped doing it lol
Here's a pretty good analysis from slips
i think this matchup is best played very turtly. i gnerally dont shoot at batgirl, i just kinda sit there and wait for her to do shit i start shooting when i notice that she gets impatient. i also like to bait teleports with stand jabs and low jabs
Shazam?? Weird, I think Deathstroke runs train on Shazam. I do play him though so that helps me a lot in the matchup. Funny thing is, I used to play batgirl so I know how stupid she is and the games she plays but it feels like Deathstroke struggles to keep up lol.
Not that I'm going to be of much help, but I'll go ahead and throw out my thoughts. I think you used mbF3 too often. Instead, what you could have done is either ran up and started with B1 or B2, or even d1xxswordspin. Up close to mix people up lately I've even been doing B2xx mb swordspin low to get the knock down because most people don't respect it or expect it to begin with. Also, to keep good spacing and get Zod to do things he shouldn't be doing, I jump ALOT in this matchup. Sure that can be your downfall as well, but you have to be smart about it. I don't think you jumped enough. Cross up j3, then start hitting him with f23 if he blocks it. Even cancel that into low gunshots for chip if he's quick to get out of your pressure. Adding to jumping alot, one thing you should do is add VERY low air gunshots to your repertoire. Frequently in this matchup I would jump either forward or backward depending on the range and right before hitting the ground do air gunshots. 7/10 times I catch somebody trying to dash, jump, or at the least get chip out of it but it takes sometime to consistently hit them that low. And then you will be able to jump and do nothing to either close the gap between you and Zod, or jump back and do nothing and mb gunshots if he tries to do something in the small fraction of time it takes for him to realize you're not doing air gunshots. This makes a big difference in the matchup in my opinion and always helps for me. Also, use interacts led as much as possible man. It really evens the playing field out between you and Zod.
Do you play on PSN? I run the nightwing-Deathstroke matchup a lot with my buddy, I'm sure he would be happy to help you with the matchup.
i dont play online. also when i was jumping in against nightwing, the nightwing player would jump back and hit me with j2 or some jump normal. he didnt use any grounded normals to anti air me
Very true. It's also pretty effective if you're anticipating nightwings air projectiles to dash under and d2 into a combo. In the corner alot against nightwing whenever I get a knock down I dash into the corner to reverse wakeups and neutral jump into a combo or another hkd setup. The neutral jump in can be ambiguous as well, and I find it pretty effective. Also I frequently stuff his wake up flip with a well timed nj2 into 323, 12 mb gunshots to get some good damage and then start zoning for about as long as it takes to have to resort to rushing in.I really wish there were more people here that played, I want more offline matchesand usually the only time I get beat out in an air to air by nightwing is if he's in staff and uses neutral j2. Also deathstroke's zoning is pretty effective against nightwing when timed correctly
Yes!! Nightwing is really susceptible in the corner to deathstrokes setups. Just beware the staff spin wakeup and flying Grayson.
Hell yeah dude, those are annoying. Also if it isn't already common knowledge you can buffer a dash between his ground sparks in escrima to quickly close the distance without getting hit out of the air by wingdings. Also, can we d2 flying Grayson?
Yes we can. Actually I think pretty much any character can. It's hard to react to though
I suck at doing it so I usually just duck so it goes over or block it and eat 5 d1's to my shins
Lmaoooo I know all about that. Neutral jump 2 dat bitchhhhh right after he goes over youYes we can. Actually I think pretty much any character can. It's hard to react to though
Not sure if I understand. Is this an option select? Like
Usually what tommy does if he thinks we're going to backdash i believe is b1 ... b1 lift. But this still obviously adds to the concept that his close up turns into a guessing game that is unsafe for him. (which isn't that good in this game)
