Superman General Discussion Thread

[FOREVER EL1TE]

He seems very similar to inj1.
S3 got a recovery Nerf, some of those combos feel harder or impossible
His b2 got buffed because now it launches with a bar

His b2 got buffed because now it launches with a bar

Wait I didn't play the beta - do you mean his B2 has a string that can be MB'd for a full combo or B2 now cancels into MB Breath for a full combo?

Anyway Superman will be one of - if not my main now that I can play him in a good netcode. Depends on who's better b/w him and Robin.

It can be mbd for a full combo, not with ice breath though

Man it seems Sup's corner lazer loops are gone... heat zap no longer combos I don't think...

Its fine. He still gets major damage anywhere.

 

[SuppaSapien3]

Yeah I see what you mean upon testing. Is it me or does he take MORE damage now?

 

[OD_Starwin]

Wow the damage scaling on dive mixups is insane now. Seems like if you hit them during their recovery frames dive will get scaled really bad. Not really worth now.

 

[ILuvFightGames]

Can his trait be used mid combo?

 

[HeroesNZ]

Can his trait be used mid combo?

Yeah that's still there

 

[DarksydeDash]

He hits so damn hard into corner still! Using heat zap after a freeze into s3 breath basically ignores scaling.

 

[gibster13]

Im hype for supes

 

[Arzumis]

My best combo in the corner is
f23 trait 3, 3 ice breath, eye laser, 3 breath.

Who else loves his new B2 grab

 

[SwagMountains]

Who else loves his new B2 grab

It looks sick but is it ever more optimal than a mb toss or breath?

 

[Trauma_and_Pain]

Just wanted to peek in and say his standing 1 profiles some low projectiles. It levitates him right over Joker's bf3 Rolling Gas. Possibly some other normals do it too with Superman and other characters who hover off the ground when standing

 

[PunkMafia83]

Can't wait till Friday to use him. I am in the UK got to wait.
How's his D2?

 

[SwagMountains]

Oh is the gear at the very end of the superman ending obtainable? Anyone know?

You just ruined my whole day by mentioning his d2.
IT
IS
BAD.

What's the go to anti air now? D2 on a read?

I have the same question, if a move launches meterburned then what's the optimal thing to do? Meterburn a string with db+meterburn? Do a meterburn breath?

 

[Trauma_and_Pain]

How's his D2?

It's just okay. Basically like any other d2. Listed as 9 frame startup, fairly small hitbox/range. Can work against crossups if your timing is right. df2 Rising Grab is his main anti-air, listed as 11 frame startup - you can punish jump-ins on reaction with it.

 

[SuppaSapien3]

Gimmicky, but if you have full resources, and you know for a fact your opponent is trying to wager, in trait if you get a stray heat zap, you can combo into super for a good 600 unclashable damage lol. The window for the super is small though, and doesn't work full screen.

 

[Parasurama]

Is there a Superman discord?

 

[Tweedy]

His best anti air is instant jump 1 imo. It's 5 frames and his grounded anti airs are pretty garbage.

Every trait cancel is 0 or minus. S3 and F2 might be +1 but i'm pretty sure they're 0. Still good since his buttons are so good.

His jump 3 can combo into f23 midscreen. It's really good for blowing up wake ups like Cold's wall and Fate's push.

I have more tips but i'm sure you guys already know most of what I know. Superman is bae.

 

[PunkMafia83]

That's awesome I will be playing the same character as tweedy. So nothing new other than B2? I hear that 223 is a garage string now?
