Superman General Discussion Thread

[jcbowie]

How are people dealing with Hellboy? I swear, unless I play against an overly timid Hellboy who respects too much fake pressure, I get mopped. I'm pretty sure he can reaction gunshot against every form of zoning Superman can throw at him, and his footsie tools are faster and longer than Superman's too it seems. Plus that d2 makes me cry. I really don't have a neutral game plan against him beyond be patient and wait for him to slip up in a major way, any advice?

I think we can all agree that we would like to see no changes made to this character tomorrow, correct?

Every balance patch I am concerned that the legion of scrubs who complain about this character constantly will get their way.

I mostly just want cat woman nerfs tbh, only character I feel really needs them.

Wouldn't mind buffs to some of the lesser character i.e Raiden

Raiden definitely needs buffs. I'm not sure he even wins a single MU.

Catwoman and Supergirl need to be toned down a bit as well.

Jesus Christ Catwoman nerfs.

EDIT - dudes these patch notes are lit af

Did Supes move up since other character like CW, SG move down? I imagine the Catwoman matchup is still really shite since her backdash is still super good and B3 still low profiles F2, B2 etc.

Absolutely. This character was always top 8. To well rounded not to be. Ive said it back then and ill say it now, if the top tiers got nerfed at all (which they did) , hed slide into top 5 easy if he didnt get touched (and he didnt)

Well, it makes sense that the Man of Steel is at his strongest on Metropolis stage)))
interactable death reset ( 100% inescapable)

2 bars = 955.65 on max defense characters

3 bar version, the actual death combo, 1086.85 and you can do more if you end in 3xxRising grabs X air lasers, but if it kills them regardless makes more sense to end it in the corner

The first time I pull this off online I just know I am going to be hard for an hour.

I do this all the time to people in Metro. Combo is fucking crazy good.

Only problem is people don't usually have enough health left for you to go full swag mode by the time you get them there.

A bit late but I decided to have a look at this and you can actually backdash out, but you can't jump out. I'm pretty sure I'm doing right since I'm holding up and it gets caught but mashing backdash gets me out.

I don't remember for sure, because it was long time ago, but I think it can be done so that you can't backdash. Can't remember if I tested that. I will check it out sometime.

 

[legion666]

What was that

I was referring to these

Ok the f23, 3xxtrait, 3, d2, 3xxEx Breath seems to be the maximum, it does 377,22 on maximum defense characters, I recorded it for the j3 hitting in front. It is 377.22 before the reset and 641.45 after = 1018.67 damage, yooooo

Here is the cross up version

377.22 + 606.73 = 983.95 damage for guessing right once

Checked it out again, and no. You can't backdash the set up if it is done properly. Mashing backdash like crazy here:

Same as with everyone I think, you either have to hold the followup, typically just another f2,3 breath but sometimes a slow mixup, or d1 out if you wanna disrespect the frames.
