The Aquaman Nerf

[God Confirm]

I wonder what his BNB will be now and if he can even fit a B3 in there...

B12, scoop, D2, B3, J3, F21+3?

His combos were super bland and easy before...this shit is worse.

looks like a lot of characters BnBs right there

I like the change to from the deep (I will never call it tentacle strike damnit)....but I feel weird they did that in *addition* to nerfing trident rush again. I know the move is stupid as hell, but his character design is still kind of built around it. Really curious to see where this places him now.

Honestly, the FTD launcher nerf was dumb, regardless of how much people hated him. Knew he was going to get toned down, but this wasn't something that should have been looked at. Sucks that players who will use him will have to learn new Bnbs, but I still think he will be fine. Has to work a little bit harder now though.

Edit: Would be actually funny if he were to get his trident projectile on wake up after that tentacle knockdown or trident rush set up though lmao.

lost too much damage, time to pick a better character.

b12 ex scoop d2 b3 j3 22 trident toss does well above 300 for 1 bar. not so sure why people are crying, because he still gets good damage for 1 bar.

Although I think it was a bit much, this is how I feel inside...

If you think he's awful with just these changes I legitimately do not think you know how to play fighting games

Deff not awful , but 100% not gonna be as good as he was and I hope I'm wrong but I think we're all going to feel the change to some extent especially the massive drop they gave him in damage

This is the problem right here... char was stupid before. Being worse than the char that chipped his way into becoming EVO champion by spamming one move is not a bad thing.

What will aquaman do in the corner?

Its a bad thing if they nerfed him too hard....which again I don't think is the case, but people need to realize that no matter how stupid trident rush might seem: *that's the design of the character*. His turtle style is largely as strong as it is because he makes up for his lack of mixups by getting all that guaranteed chip damage.

This will really just show who is committed to being good and who wants a character's tools to cover their weaknesses as a Player.

Thank god we got rid of the braindead combos from half screen oh look at me i'm clueless i spammed a db2 and it hit better mb it and b3 for 50% fkofff AHAHAHAHAHHA

 

[PoweredbyProtein]

I don't really care too much about the damage, losing b123 is the real blow.

 

[Shaka]

how can you say that Adam had no weaknesses, but then in the next sentence say Batman isn't a character like him because Batman has poor wake ups? You realise Adam's wake up is a LOT weaker than Batman's which is actually useable?

it's biased, people want to act as if Adam has zero weaknesses; they know he does but ignore it cause it won't help push their agendas.

 

[EMPRESS_SunFire]

I mean, I don't mind watching him in that bottom 10 if that's the case.

 

[T-box88]

Nah, they compensated it for making scoop launch higher.

Besides, your bnb is d1 trident rush.

So true

 

[T-box88]

not like he has 50/50s to open you up... He has a poor wake up game, his damage didn't exceed his weaknesses.

Character litterally has to touch you twice to take a life bar........... i like to call what he currently has the "cyrax syndrom" from mk9. Where litterally overwhelming amounts of dmg made up entirely for his other flaws. It was litterally the only reason he was top 3 after the game ended. My point its happened in the past where a characters mu number's can be skewed because of dmg scailing problems.
