I noticed none of the hard knockdown combos have been posted. The ones I use in particular are:

2,2 xx HM MB, b3, j3, f1 xx AC
b2 xx HM MB, b3, j3, f1 xx AC

2,2 xx HM MB, b3, j3, d2
b2 xx HM MB, b3, j3, d2

May be some others that I'm missing but they're the main ones. I'm not at home so can't get the damage on these, but I'll update when I get home tonight.

Hey does your combo guide include all the combos in the other thread?

 

[MashPotatoTower]

Hey does your combo guide include all the combos in the other thread?

No, but the combos from it where not uptodate or spent to much meter. That thread still exists right? Is there any particular combos notable that you would like to see here?
I noticed that hard knockdown combos are in high demand

You should add a better confirm off of d2, did you know you could confirm HM off of it and then do b3, j3, f223, HM. Way better than the one you have. I also wish you had one for confirm an air to air. I believe you can confirm HM off of ji2, when the opponent gets hit in the air. Also plz plz plz plz give us some hard knockdown combos. Plzzzzzzzzzz (you would increase the popularity of your thread so much. All I can think of is ji2, f22, HM (MB), b3, ji3, d3.

I got my SHAZAM work cut on for me

Our worst matchups are all the popular characters..jump ship?!?!

Those are your worst MU

Nah dude, you just need to know how to handle some of their pressure. For instance, I originally thought green lantern destroyed shazam because he can do the lift, but all you have to do is just cross him up and green lantern is free. I do kinda think that doomsday stuffs Shazam because of his insanely good wakeups which kinda messes shazam's pressure up alot

At the moment this thread is pretty good, but I believe you could make it amaziiiing. the other thread is pretty good but the dude never updates it like you said. I really want someone to come up with a combo that confirms of every single one of shazam's moves (for example, is it even possible to confirm of of d1?). Possibly set up a vortex thing like some of the other characters because he is technically vortexing with his high and low grabs right?

PS- Shazam main for life, but I think I'm gonna pick up killer frost because of his bad MU. Also who are some pro players I can watch to analyze tactics with? All I know of is Heroic legend and EGP board player.

 

[JoeX0rX]

D1 can cancel into AT. That's all i can think of

Whoa! Pboard plays as SHAZAM!? That's awesome!
Fun fact: he was the first person I have ever fought in tourney and he bodied my Kano free because I was beyond nervous :s
I was so emo salty. Good times

stealthychainsawninja these are the sex! I'll start with all of these for sure!
When I get home I'll do them and add them to the list.
Your contribution is greatly appreciated umong the SHAZAM!!

 

[JoeX0rX]

dont forget to use empty jump ins. works pretty good when the other guy is conditioned to block after a d3. and use of just a regular grab is also important.
