Superman General Discussion Thread

[B. Shazzy]

Personally it just seems like NRS felt like they "had" to touch him. As if no changes would have made him stupid. The nerfs they gave him were just dumb as they are changes that are there for the sake of being there. The character wasn't doing stupid damage,

I don't think Superman will be top tier with a nerf to dash punch and his damage.

I know people will disagree but I have to question how much they really play the character. If you come in with a Doctor Fate or Bane profile pic I have to assume you want Superman to be ass.

Lol this is true but tbh I think everyone wants their bad mu to be ass after a patch. Can't say I didn't do 8 back flips when is read the changes to catwoman, but even then the only thing I wanted was her not to be able to derp with B3 the other nerfs we're plus but slightly OD didn't want her to explode just wanted her to get punished when she whiffed.

You said you only used it to chip. No good Superman just uses it to chip.

Your response is basically "lol I used him in justice 1 bro", then in the next paragraph you corrected yourself. lol

Imo you're just a Fate player with an agenda to upplay Superman.

Well I would think you'd catch on to me saying one of its primary uses but if you want me to list The fact it can used to punish back dashes, be gimmicky crossups, getting in on zoning, catching forward dashes, low crushing, checking moves with pushback, using it as a main combo Ender, using it as a combo starter and converting off it from max range in the corner, and reversing wake-ups, I can do that too.

Also in my agenda you're just someone who plays the character because of his viability not because he's your favorite DC hero, like most top players.

And before you say "You're playing Fate though" Superman will always he my favorite character, that doesn't mean I don't play him (I always will) , it means I wanted to try a character who was new to the roster. I think Superman was honestly fine before the patch was revealed and I still think he will be fine if not great.

Yes

You guys are delusional if u think he won't be top tier after the patch.

You're delusional if you think he will be.

There we covered both options with no explanation on both ends. Great fun.

Dude, before the patch notes you said that dashpunch was not a good wakeup.
His damage will still be really good probably.
The fact that dashpunch won't be mid doesn't make it useless in any way.
I don't mean to be a dick, just totaly don't understand your thinking process here.

And you guys kept telling me that dash punch was a good wake up and that i'm downplaying.

Just because it fits your narrative now, doesn't mean that you can turn around and say i'm right all of a sudden. You guys say his wake up was god, so he lost his god wake up. Big nerf boyos.

I never said you were right, lol. It was a good wakeup and if it didn't loose inv frames (not sure if it did) then it will still be decent. You just won't be able to just throw it out like a fucking madman. Its not Posessed 2.0

It will not still be decent if it's a high lol.

 

[Undergroundepict]

Making it a high and taking away the armor it received when meterburned (presuming this is what they meant and they didn't accidentally confuse invulnerability frames for armor) is definitely overkill.

Personally, I thought the move was balanced. At 21 startup frames, it's already slow, while at -19, it's highly punishable on block. It received invulnerability frames on wakeup, but not that many. Tossing it out on wakeup is a crapshoot, but one that could save your life if they were shutting down/baiting db2.

IMO, the only change it should have received is increased blockstun, as it is nearly impossible to punish on reaction despite being -19. Problem solved.

If they make it a high, they should also make it faster and safer on block. A 21 frame high that is full combo punishable on block doesn't offer much utility, IMO.

Also, that damage nerf sounds ominous.

I use bizzarro skin, and this happen with a combo ... nrs please fix

 

[Asodimazze]

Bizarro is wonderful, best skin in the game for sure

 

[B. Shazzy]

I use bizzarro skin, and this happen with a combo ... nrs please fix

just wait half a second longer after the mb db2 then do laser its fine

in fact with the bizarro skin he can even link laser where his normal skin cant against tiny hurtboxes

not tht any of this is even the optimal combo in the first place lul

 

[Arzumis]

not tht any of this is even the optimal combo in the first place lul
