I think when a guy exclusively mains female characters there may be three reasons for that condition:
1) No father figure growing up.
2) Raised by two mothers.
3) A subconscious deep-rooted desire to be a woman and so exclusively maining a female character in some fantasy-way satisfies that desire to play as a woman.

I think you fall under that category. Maybe even you may have low testosterone levels. See your doctor.
That is really stupid, sexist, and rude.

I infracted you. Cool off or else.

It's a video game. They could be stick figures for all it really matters. There's no deep psychological insight by which stick figure people are playing with. Damn.


I loved on Baraka in MK. But I have no desire to mimic him lol. Well, maybe his U4. But that's just a really awesome way to get on someone's couch.

dont know if anyone knows this but when you lay a bomb on an interactable (down and interact button), you can change your jump direction if you press down right or down left.

i knew you could do this normally but didnt know you could do it with a bomb.

Ok I'm absolutely free to jumping. Cross up or not. I mb f3, back dash, even try d3 but I get hit out of everything. My f3 mb misses behind them half the time and everything else gets beat out. I try to j1 to beat them but it's a coin flip. On top of that, after I get 4 hit combos after a jump by randoms I've got jack squat for a wake up, so here comes another jump. And since half the jump attacks are effing ambiguous as to which side the hit box decides to register on I'm screwed. Hell even full trait is getting beat on wake up most the time.

I really think catwoman is a solid character, don't get me wrong. I'm just completely lost on what to do against dudes on pogo sticks.

If they're doing their jump attacks early you can usually let it whiff and punish the land with d+1~cat claws. This works even on cross ups. If they're doing late jump ins that's when you can preemptive air to air them with jump 1. If all else fails you can try to scout it and jump back 2 then MB Cat Dash if it hits.

yeah jump back 2 really works the most consistent. I just get so mad when I keep getting jumped on and comboed when I know they are going to do it anyway lol.

Also why d1 and not 1? Is it because of lowering my hit box to insure the early jump attack whiffs?

1 works too. Whatever you wish. I just like d+1 because of it's reach.

Im not sure if this has been discussed yet. I don't know if I just suck at this or if the timing is strict as hell. What is the trick to landing a b3 after cat claws? I just can't do this consistently for the life of me.

Regular cat claws is a little tight. I was practicing last night and a lot of the times I would just step back a bit or miss the B3 altogether.
A little after the opponent has begun their descent is when you should input B3 and it should catch them right before they hit the ground.

Hello, I'm new to TYM, but I'm no stranger to the FGC. I've played MK9 since Day 1 and I can honestly say that I was above the average player.

I recently picked up Injustice about a week ago and I decided to main Selina, but I'm have a hard time establishing pressure with her. I hate having to jump in 24/7 and hope my jump in connects so I can confirm in Cat Claws. Do you all know of any pressure strings I can resort too?

When her arm comes back around is when I input the B3...just watch catwoman closely and you can see the window of frames you have to execute ;)

Hey guys im mostly a capcom player wanting to get into injustice, but I don't understand how to hit confirm into combo starters. I'd like to do b1,b2,d3, cat slaws, b3, ect.... but you have to input cat claws so early before you can tell if the oppoenent is blocking, and its so unsafe. cat dash is unsafe too. Do you just have to get yolo?
