I think in an effort to help players understand and explore a character I would like to start a discussion about Aquaman’s normals and strings. This can act like a living guide where the uses for certain buttons and strings can be discussed and match up specific knowledge can be shared, for example X string stuffs Y wake up against this character.
I plan to keep updating this thread as more knowledge fills it up. This will also grant us a better perspective if something is buffed or nerfed.
As information comes in I will update the guide with this information. I'll also be improving the formatting as add information.
