So I went to check out the new terrible and butchered into pieces Black Adam.

- His new "useless" regular dive kick still can't be punished by certain characters (Ares, Killer Frost, etc.) but it's useless so don't use it.
- His backdash is still one of the better ones in the game.
- His trait is still retarded. (extra damage for throw breaking / throwing, enough advantage to set up ambiguous cross-up dive kicks on BLOCK, the ultimate "GG" ender, etc.)
- His forward dash got nerfed? Sorry, I don't notice it. I guess that's just a flaw of being human.
- Low lightning is still a non-projectile, tracking, no travel time, 2.25% chip inflicting, knockdown granting, safer (than most projectiles / moves of it's kind) special attack.
- Meter burn lightning is still dumb.
- He can now end combos with b+2,3,u~2 and get ambiguous dive kick cross-up attempt on knockdown (lol he got a buff)
- He gets nearly double the damage off regular black magic up close now that he can b+3 off of it (lol he got another buff)


My heart goes out to you poor Black Adam players. Now all some of you need is a good string launcher that is advantage, mobility, damage, great wake-up, 6f d+1, counter-zoning tools, great jumping 2..... Wait, let me stop because:

R.E.O.: Sometimes I can never tell if you are mocking them or your being serious. Honestly he will likely still be a good character, but those who main him may just have to re-adjust to the changes that were made. Then again I don't main him, tried to learn him just couldn't get into using him.

He is still arguably the best character in the game. This will always be a world of dictators.

It's called making legit points in as sarcastic a tone as possible.

He will undoubtedly still be top 10. Maybe even top 5, but he won't be #1. Not when there are characters like Aquaman and MMH, who barely got touched, and were already arguable to 1 characters.
