General/Other Shazam got some buffs in the patch

[shaowebb]

Shazam

• Increased viability of Shazam’s Teleport when used as a wake up attack.
• Shazam’s Herculean Might (Down, Back, Forward + 1) on miss is now -17 (down from -27)
• Shazam’s Achilles’ Clutch (Down, Back + 1) on miss is now -21 (down from -35)
• Shazam’s Solomon’s Judgment Character Power now activates faster
• Normalized reaction time for Shazam after escaping an opponent’s throw attempt.

Enjoy!
What do you all think of these update changes?

 

[SZSR]

It's good

 

[shaowebb]

BTW every teleport in the game had its viability increased as a wake up option. THAT is gonna change a few things for folks hovering on the character select screen now. I wonder if it was to allow for hard countering of vortexes?

Universal Teleport buff sounds great at first, but they might get stuffed by certain attacks/vortexes ( I know Catwoman has a lot of tools that stuff wakeups with ease). Definitely going to test them the second the patch hits, along with Batgirl shenanigans. Shazam's wakeup game sounds smexy tho. Oh you trying to do some kinda meaty jump in at me? Nah, teleport forward, 22 punish into vortex, GGS. I'm also hoping the trait speed buff means we'll be able to do it off stuff like 12Back 3 in a juggle and have time to pressure without a jump in. I want to be able to use this damn thing lol.

Shazam just got scary.

 

[Tanc32]

So anyone think Shazam's trait may end up being fast enough to use in combos similar to the way Supes Trait works?

 

[Xenofriend]

So, we can't punish throw attempts anymore after tech with b2xxHM?

No.

Shazam will be ridiculous and I can't wait to play him tomorrow!

 

[Ermaculate_Slim]

Shazam is my secondary and he finally got some much needed buffs...almost dropped him lol.

Hope so. That would be sick.

I wonder how many actual Shazam mains realize that these buffs do absolutely nothing but make the character a slight bit more stable, not actually helping out with his gameplan. Sure, trait might be usable now, but it was already usable, just play on fortress of solitude and you got trait no matter which side of the stage you used for free mid combo already.

tl;dr give me back my throw bug and you can have the rest of the 'buffs' back.

No.The throw bug was just that,a bug.

I can confirm that teleport is good on wake-up.Trait's off hardknockdown.Might actually start taking him seriously now.

Shazam is my 2nd main and if you can trait cancel like superman or use it after a hard knockdown then I guess I wont be dealing with superman's bad MU anymore .

It is not fast enough for combos but again garanteed knockdown gives it some utility especially in corner.
LBSH Shazam still bottom 5 BUT at least he has a fighting chance now.

A man or in this case a boy can only hope.

 

[MagicMan357]

Are yo guys serious? This trait buff is a HUGE buff. Especially off a hard kockdown? Do you realise how fast shazam can literally end the match now?

Im really bout to kick ass with him now lmao some of you guys have no clue what they have done.

For now you can just record it with your phone lol. Otherwise I think you need a capture card.

 

[THTB]

I don't think you guys realized how big the throw whiff buffs are. Shazam is no longer punished for backspacing his 22 xx command throw stuff. He's actually at frame advantage vs most characters.

Backspacing? Can you explain? I thought he was at -17 and -20something for HM and AC, respectively.

 

[ZigZag]

There's already a thread about his buffs c,mon.

 

[Sh@zAM]

Can't wait to mess around.

I have no idea what backspacing is supposed to mean.

22 xx command throw is NOT plus though. Still very very punishable.
