What's new

Super Girl Patch buffs

B123 is safe on block
Damage is increased scaling is lowered and mb breath does damage previously did none
st2 is a little slower but now is a mid.

These are the watch tower changes that were just announced in the stream. i think they are great, what do you think?

Im so glad they didnt nerf her teleport. Scrubs think its broken yet its the same speed as a f3 but has to be meterburned.

In addition to the damage, one of my favorite changes is having 212 as a safe mid option; but I'm curious to see how much slower the startup on standing 2 is.

I enjoyed SGs playstyle more than Aquamans, but Im so used to Aquaman for many years, and he WAS so good. So I am happy its switching, making SG more usable.

Great news.

Why does b123 being safe mean much? It doest do much or combo? say compared to aquamans b123 which was safe and could lead to 450 dmg. You cant really hitconfirm to just the b12 into breath on reaction instead of going to 3.

Because it allows her to play better mind games with b12 &/or b21+3. Now that it's safe, people will have to respect the string as a whole, which will condition them to block b12 into a special like MB Ice breath. b12 itself is unsafe. Before b123 was also unsafe, but we used it anyway to force them to look for the follow up that causes a knockback. B12 in general was blown up by characters with 6 frame normals or traded with certain characters. It's still the same while b123 is safe.

So now, they'll have to respect her strings completely, which opens up for more mind games now that she has something that she can safely confirm into against blocking opponents & tone down the amount of risks that she has to take while forcing them to guess. The damage buff also does wonders now because now people will have to fear getting hit depending on how much she does. I doubt it will be a lot, but it's decent enough for them to be more aware of health bars depleting.

It's probably best to not kompare characters to Aquaman.. A lot of characters have to hit or block konfirm after the first two hits to be optimal, so Aquaman is kind of the exception. I haven't tried it but you should be able to hit konfirm it (you konfirm on, or sometimes before, the first hit konnects). She also gets a mix up option with this too, like JDE pointed out. With this, she doesn't have to be risky to keep people in check.

its not all that. just a check, safe string option where she didnt have one before theres no conditioning factor or extra mind game.

the jump ship trend from Aquaman to Supergirl will be real :D:D
and to add to the point of B.Shazzy and JDE. It gives her a gapless safe option off of her main footsie tool. Before if you want to stay safe with b12 you need to have full trait. so this will also helps with her counter zoning game as well since you don't have to keep the full trait to stay safe.

B12 trait wasn't actually safe

I'm a fatboy with fatboy reactions and I can hit confirm b12 breath.

I can also hit confirm just f2 breath with Superman so maybe I don't have fatboy reactions.
