His zoning is probably not that good but he keeps people in check with MB Pillar.. The orbs also kontrol space. Zoner will zone him out but he does have an air dash and long range trait normals to kombat zoning.
I think his back dash is very good. Not Black Adam but good. I'm koming from Green Arrow who's back dash I think is pretty decent and distinctive..
His air dash is good and just as good as Supermans.. MB Air Dash is situational or match up specific like against Deathstroke to go over MB guns.
His rushdown is my favorite because he has soo much range that other people kan't touch him if you play it right. He bullies from mid range which is where the rushdown game is played in this game.
You shouldn't just throw in random teleports any way. You use it to kounter ranged jumps, interactables, or projectiles.
I kould see him being up there if they don't nerf him. He has so many ways to open people up. I truly enjoy his rushdown game...
If what you're trying to say is that he's not as easy and strong as Superman then I agree. Otherwise.. Not really.
Why are you replying to this here may i ask? but to answer your points and keep in mind i like the character and im actually 2ndng him
A good character needs to keep ppl in check without spending meter thats what makes it a usefull Special move, orb is a fantastic tool but has little use outside setups,
His Backdash has a pretty big recovery, but maybe im just keeping bad habits since i have NW and his Dashes are amazing
MB air dash i nice yes but i stil feel a good zonner will wait for you to jump before doing anything
his Rush down is indeed good just not amazing since without trait his options are limited and predictable
ofc you dont throw random teleports away even tho you can cause its safe on block, but over head teleport that should beat most arial moves ( yes i know you should use the low one if someone is jumping but still ) does not, it gets beaten by jumping normals... it even whiffs on supermans jumping eye lazer, i mean it complitly whiffs and u get hit by the lazer....
Yes he is a tricky character not easy to play, no where as easy as superman, still he is an amazing character, just not as amazing as i think everyone makes him out to be, sorry.
