Remove superman from the game
sniper punch gotta get looked at (nerf that thing into the ground)
anyone tryna spar
Bro I been sparing Superman
It’s either I stomp him or get gimped it’s crazy
I don’t know if it’s skill issue tho
Especially when they’re good
Support🙏🏾
his nair and sair can easily carry people offstage
his grab is difficult to deal with especially without batarang
and hes got good armor
annoying mu but its winnable i think
Yeah it is fs
But yeah wasting baterang is very bad
Also baterang takes so long to come out so u shouldn’t mash it in a Superman string because nair and sair will hit u before u can throw it lol
Why does the grappnel feel worse here then in the beta?
Like I swore ive seen the hook attatch to a surface but then the game says "nuh uh, didn't happen."
Yeah that happened to me last night lol
Everything is worse than the beta
Player First Games had this horrendous model of downgrading everything from the beta
Also when I grapple to ledge and dodge cancel off I don’t get my special back even though I ledge touched which is annoying
Ledges arent supposed to refill air options anymore
how does batman kill?
Up special, dash attack, jab, bomb, up air, up tilt, etc.
Batman has some of the highest kill potential in the game, he's just not as easy as other characters
makes sense
That's weird cause i remember during the beta someone said it's difficult for Batman to kill. Which was also lore accurate cause he doesnt do the kill
he doesn't kill, he only severely cripples
That was... not true...
Batman was top 3 in the beta because he was so fast and oppressive and killed you with any move in his kit because he always applied weakened
Fr😭
That's so weird lol.
Batman is so broken for no real reason
hes good
u tend to call everything broken
i think u should jus main joker and have fun at this point lol
I will never main Joker
nah try it out zypten
you still main shaggy right?
No I cant stand playing current Shaggy
I unironically do better with Velma
I was playing beta mvs earlier today
Man shaggy felt so good
Wavestomp canceling and super saiyan canceling
Literally
They killed the character by making him easier for noobs
Bring back hangry hopping and landing combos longer than 3 attacks 🗣️
wdym
shaggy was always supposed to be an easy character
Yes but before he was fun
He had combos
His kit was fluent and worked with itself
Now he's just a character who relies on killing everyone at 60% with jab > jab > up b or just landing sair
Despite him being so busted he's still the one character I can't play without losing to the worst players imaginable
Yeah
The side b spammers eating good
They just have to land it 3 or 4 times before it kills
tbh thats a lot of characters now
a lot of them rely on jab a lot
so in some matches you get people fishing for jab just to start combos
would much rather it that characters had other combo starters
same goes to banana guard
i kinda wish they gave him tippers so that he has atleast smth interesting to work with
Who actually uses bg tbh now
He was "interesting" to try out on release cause new character and all but hes so insanely boring to play
And I haven't come across a bg in forever
Agent smith is where its at 😎
cuz theres nothing interesting in his kit
Ik
Yes but most characters dont REQUIRE jab
The longest possible combo with Shaggy is nair > jab 2 > up b
Nair doesn’t even true combo anymore, so it’s basically just jab 1,2 -> reverse up tilt -> up air
You can sometimes get sair if they don’t DI
No if they mash directional dodge sair will never hit
And uair you need to be EXTREMELY fast to land
Revert is sair to a combo tool, buff his hitstun/lower his endlag on hit for better combos on his normals, and drastically lower damage and knockback on his specials
just give him some more combo routes to work with
shaggy combos do be really dry
What I said above is what he needs
He'll be balanced if they do that fr
I agree with this tbh
I didn’t play the beta, but I’ve seen some clips from it
Beta looked like a whole different game lmao
cuz it was
How does Batman play neutral generally? Like what moves should I be looking to land?
What happened to batman's double air side? (The dark knight returns reference) it's gone from his kit.
It only triggers when u hit the first sair
Unless you're too close to the ground.
u will rarely hit that anyway
Whats everyones favorite perks for batman?
Batarang, flammable, dash attack armor/last stand, pugilist
It's such a shame that Batman is balanced in 2s but top tier in 1s
Um there’s so many other chars to cry about besides Batman
Um nuh uh batman is among the best 1s characters without a doubt
Joker is like the only stronger character
No
And iron giant, gizmo and steven, bro batman its not s tier
His good but not the best at the game
Also arya stark
batman struggles against disjoints and finns are probably the best in the game
Gotcha, ty for the info
Bro said Steven 💀
He got gutted lol
Neutral special
Neutral special? Isnt that the move that bubbles you? Lol
And an insta parry with shield
Its an laser that kill you at 80
And his up air kills at 60
How are you getting hit by it 😭
Nothing true combos into it
Its pretty easy
Batman has true 0tds pretty sure
Anyways, Batman is way better than Steven this is unimaginable cope
Just accept that Batman is a top tier in 1s
If you fight an 5k wins steven yo'll see what im talking about
Hes not
Not even better than superman
Or black adam
The downplay is unreal
Batman is S tier
Hes high a
S
Harley and Steven 💀
Major downplay of Batman
Batman has a true 0td, almost none of the characters you listed do
Batman is the fastest character in the game
Batman has probably the best advantage state in the game
Batmans neutral is so oppressive he might as well just always have advantage
Does anyone have a recommended input buffer setting for new players or is default fine?
anyone wanna 1v1?
It's tricky to answer because it's a bit up to preference. You should test different settings (like 10, 20 and 30 to ballpark where you feel more comfortable).
But if you want some more inputs, in short if you are new and press a lot of buttons while playing (as opposed to have "clean", single tap inputs) then having a large buff will most probably cause a lot of mistakes so you'll maybe want something on the shorter side.
But having a large buffer also make combos way easier, which is particularly good if you play Batman.
i use 27
Eh why not, I should dust myself a bit before S2
Lost the will to play these past couple weeks
thank you so much
how many batman wins you got?
I don't really remember, does it matters ?
WASSUP
All di’able besides like on that takes full dodge meter I think
Full dodge meter doesn't matter when you have it back by the time they respawn tbh
Getting hit by round start slide is skill issue tbh
Especially with a move so punishable
BATMAN NERF NOOO
His loop combo got nerfed bruh
Loop?
the downattack iad thing?
PFG seems to only love spammy characters, otherwise, they wouldn't have nerfed Batman and Jason
I feel like if jab into IAD sair was true people would have found it sooner which is why this throwin me off😭
Also the ground bounce after jab2 has to be bad Di??
Jab2 iAd sair only bounces on dodge towards. But it will hit regardless
Yeah that thing...
But yeah that thing doesn't exist anymore
Trust me. These mfs don’t do any IAD combos otherwise people would loop jab2 iad sair for 60+
actually?
if thats the case i gotta learn how to jab into sideair consistently
Hmm?
No it's true, displayed it in my combo video I did a while back
So we jus never thought about loopin it back then😂
I did lol, but there was a reason I didn't showcased it
😭😭
iirc it quickly become DI escapable
but it's been a while so I don't really remember
but that must be that
I’ve done some funny airwalker stuff that has crazy corner carry
this perk is joever
😭😭😭🙏🏾
Rip Airwalker
They should of just removed it and added a beta perk
Like jump height or jump speed or aerial acceleration
Especially with the momentum change
Batman its ok now?
no its still here
Thought so
I mean you can literally already tell they're patching that
Seems like more knockback sends them more upward
We still have slide into jab I’m happy
slide into jab?
Yes
Yeah you can cancel first hit of slide
how i know how to cancel into batarang and other moves but idk what to do for jab
Imma be honest I can’t do any neutral combos when fighting certain characters so I have to result to spamming slide kicks
They never expect it
And it’s so hard to dodge
Is the hit stun reduction fewer whiff frames if we miss or less stun to target when we hit?
It’s like people always know when the dodge behind me
Just do the input for jab after landing the first hit of slide
So, how do you guys feel about Samurai Jack matchup?
Less hitstun only. They wanted to get rid of slide > batbomb/down air
either i destroy or they go off but i realized u jus gotta be a lil patient not that bad but he can gimp off the side really early
rank 4 batman rn feelin good
That was u lol
My brain is fried
Grinding rank is a chore
Wait what’s ur user?
Biggyblakie
the other bataman
Also taz
But u gotta save ur baterang in this matchup
Or else ur Cooke
yea ik
Whenever I'm on a losing streak, I just switch to Batman because I know it'll boost my WR
Batman mirror match is who spam divekick better
Mirror matches in this game are always about who spams (charcter OP attack) better
They need to just remove IG
@loud sky wanna play together?
Mirror match?
not really
I jus won a mirror match against a top 10 Batman I think I’ve mastered the matchup
i jus peeped the pfp reference lol
promise u he aint that good
hes good gng
i 3-0 a batman with 3000 wins lol
his name was somthing joe star lol
bro this batman got so luck ugh
he had 123 health i was at 12 and he killed me he had 11k batman wins im so mad
mrdarringdapper headass
not mine lol
u cant base any player off of wins
hes rank 1 bat on leaderboard rn
YEA HES BAD LOL
im better than him LMFAO
really number 1 is that bad
i was dominationg the whole match
he was probably suprised to see a better batman than him
cause hes a grinder
Mirror match is not a good meter at all to determine who is better as a player
thats how i feel when i watched goober
wanna 1v1 kuro?
"top batman" jus camp
mirrorman could beat you by only using fair. Being technical =/= being good
with batman?
i dont think so lol
I'm sure of it
i washed mirrorman lol
btw i clipped mr dapper lol wanna see?
but his spaccing and dodge meter conservation is good
Like don't get me wrong, you're good but you overestimate the importance of "doing combos" and underestimating the importance of the neutral game
@zealous finch beat me once in ranked while i was autopiloting
go to clips you will see it hes not good lol
The match where he played Jason ? lmao
ive played him
ok what does that has to do with anything?
im not trash talking u or anything
because mirrorman is stupid good at platform fighters, I have no doubt him playing seriously wash any person that has ever write in this channel
he always play very casual on his stream
unless u play arya, morty or hightier im not really losing
joker
u can gass mirrorman but hes always barely beaten me even in beta when bugs was busted
taken a break
I see
no point arya and joker gonna win
its clear as day
tamunokuro absolutely washed me today smh
jus when i thought shaggy wasnt a problem anymore
its like the momentum buff only made shaggy knee crazier
that move is geniunely too much
actully i used to think that
but ive now beat more arya than i lose
its hard but just try to know when there gonna use the down light
Yea I do feel like he benefited from that a lot. Batman too tbf, in a lesser extent
thats pretty bad
what i do is dodge than instant dash attack
its not a whiff if im just better and read how is that whiffing what?
that means they whiffed dtilt
not to be mean but you get hit by every dtilt?
no
ok so does that mean they whiffed
but sometimes i cant punish because of how they whiff
@zealous finch Shhhh 🤫
u can space dtilt and certain moves to where on whiff u cant be punsihed
its called spacing
ive beat good arya
but consistently no
u might just be good
then dont get hit by it out space them
if they play it safe
then you can play it safe too and back up when they do that
brainrot Mvs
Oh just verfied stats wise, they both benefited evenly from that momentum change, and they look to be among the ones that benefited the most of it among the whole cast (due to their walk speed being that good)
if you can punish the Dtilt then you also can out space it
also just reading it safe or not you can dodge it and hit them lol
?
I'm talking about the momentum change from the last update
Like Shaggy and Batman have the fastest walk speed and the biggest difference between walk speed and air speed
So this change is huge for them
arya objectively has better neutral than bats the only reason batman ever wins is because the limited number of touches we need to kill her since shes light
that being said
she still kills us at 70
Arya has buttons that play neutral for her
if ur cruising the arya matchup 9/10 not tryna be disrespctful ur playing trash aryas
no i understand all of this
but just be better thats all i gotta say i win most my arya matches cause i can kill her in like 6 hits
the matchup isnt impossible at all
bro im fighting aryas with like 3000 wins +
😭😭
to a certin extent yes they do
3k wins means nothing
i have not done a tourney cause i dont know where to look
everything after 1k doesnt mean anything
x amount of wins means nothing*
i have 1000 wins with bats and im am not trash at all
people will have 300 wins on a char and win tourney with them
i know
some people have 10k and suck
yea ik this but wins still do determin skill
Chek your DMs @zealous finch
its like fortnite
Sent you the link to the official pro MVS server
wins stop mattering after creative came out
this is true
wins jus means ur a grinder
people be playing customs all the time grinding
i know a ton of tourney players not even on rank leaderboards
would you guys like to start a gc?
like where the hell is shiro
It doesn't. At all. I assure you, stop considering this.
no its just only a few times ive lost to someone with less wins they me
'AND way more it more wins
so it matters a little bit only in the least
A winrate is closer to meaning something, and even then you should not consider it too seriously especially when it comes to casual
my win rate is usally 70-85%
But a number of win is just... meaningless to the max lol
@green bay @loud sky add me
Just saw it, done
@loud sky
wanna play 2s?
I was so excited to hop back in the game with S2 but Ranked being BO1 for now just drained my fun
nah its for the better
I won't play right now as I'll keep going AFK, I can later eventually
imagine rematching iron giant
idc about losing, I just want to play f*ckin BO3 sets. Since game launched lol
bro add me
also once u hit masters ur gonna play the same amount of people over and over
I did a few rankeds, won almost everything. It's not even about losing, its just not fun for me lol
if u played as soon as it came out it was straight comp
bruh just do it now its not hard 😭
I. Want. BO3.
Bad players, good players
im working on my computer im jus getting distracted plus im console lol😭
I want to play BO3 lol
yeah but not for IG
Like this was on my top 1 wish since launch
i was dissapointed but i already explained why its terrible for this version of the game
lemme copy paste
i used to advocate for bo3 but after playing espcially when u get into higher ranks ur probably gonna catch the same people over and over
and just like u im not tryna rematch iron giant at all
it would also take abnormaly long to rank up, BO3 in beta was fine because the game was 2 stocks and WAYY faster but now with 3 stocks and way slower game i couldnt imagine. My brain would rot
I HATE swiping from BO1 to another BO1 like I'm on f*ckin Tinder
the game too slow for best of 3
I wont mind
nah i wouldnt rank up
Yeah I’ve said the same. Ranked forced BO3 to stop all the one-and-doners from trying to gimmick their way to a better rank than their actual skill
if im getting 7rp off a hard fought win
imagine best of 3
i would lose my mind winning twice for 7rp
You should just get rewarded by game and not by set
It's supposed to be that way, the rematch function was broken so they disabled it for now.
They barely talked about this except on their game studio Twitter account lol
for some reasons
Yeah I know
Like its not a big deal lol
In any game that would have been fixed in the following hours after update
but PFG is... PFG
bro im talking about discord dumbass lol
Yea, honestly they did a good job with this new season. It's the actual game release lol
ohhh😂
But the ONE feature I awaited for so long... doesn't works lol
😭
mb brudda
Yeah this is what the full launch of the game should’ve been
But I’m assuming they were forced to get it out due to WB deadlines
getting early killed by samurai jack is a different level of tilted
And then the game suffered in season 1 from all the missing features
i love the character too much to complain tho
Dude his side special kills at like 70 at ledge it’s nuts
less since i play batman
lol
he can kill 40 on the right stage
his edge guard is crazy
Most probably. And they just bought PFG studio so fortunately they don't become confident forcing "too early" launch for future updates 😬
His dash attack is also stupid strong for no reason
Dude I can’t recover against him
i can only imagine shaggy
batman has grapple, baterang upspecial
and so much offstage mixup
imagine getting 3-0 stupid harley
Like he doesn’t even kill confirm. He just hits you and Shaggy has no button that can beat side special
and still gets edge guarded
I didn't play much of this new season, but I've watch a few streams and while the character doesn't look especially strong, god damn does he kills early near the edge
i hit a crazy edge clip on a samurai jack tho
yeah hes seems hella fun
struggles to kill but
can kill early
ima pick him up cause i shink he prolly beats arya idk
What’re the early thoughts on Jack looking like?
It feels like he pack a lot of base knockback on certain moves
so if you're near a blastzone pray
I feel like he’s high tier minimum
it seems only his tipper kills early
maximum
You think he’s mid?
one of them counter my batereang and teleported to me and slashed me and i died
I had the same thought, from watching the character I was thinking "man he seems good against Arya" 😂
I love his counter, I know I would be dirty with it
GET 2-1 RICK U SUCK
I hate that thing where the use the thing to make them big and the teleport it to you like what???
Yea this projectile is atrocious, you can't even take the risk to try pushing Rick out of range of it
What I do is I just stall on a wall until he goes back to normal
Thanks to his big hurtbox he can't easily approach to spike you or anything
you can just keep him away with upb lol
@green bay here is the thing
IF YOUR FIGHTING A GOOD RICK HE CAN MAKE HIMSELF BIG AND TELEPORT IT TO YOU ANYWHERE U ARE ON THE MAP TO MAKE HIM BIG AND YOU A FU- DOG a good rick will teleport it to you while ur on the wall
I don't go on the wall until he triggered it, I stall while he's transformed
But yea if you do get hit by it, good luck 👍
But normally he shouldn't be able to teleport it easily toward you, you can see it coming
Unless I'm ignoring a setup that is difficult to escape
but I don't think so
no the teleport is instant
super hard to doge especally against a rick thats masters this specific move
@loud sky @green bay YUP HES SOO BAD MR DAPPER LOL CHECK CLIPS
YESS I GOT COOKED BY THAT LIKE 2 DAYS AGO😭
U can place smoke bomb on it and u won’t transform
thx Good tip like god tier
bro why does bagman do so much weakened😭
im kinda scared to post a vid cause yall dont know the batcmbos ik and im gate keeping😭
Yeah I used to be like that
But go on twitter
They prolly already know
But slide into jab I created that week 1
ik knew that combo one of the fist i made too lol
i gues u already saw i knew it in the clip i sent lol
Ngl I’m just spamming slide kick 💀
yeah i know but the problem is he dishes out weakened so much its crazy
Tony Huynh has a bias towards DC that makes him tell the balance team to keep DC characters strong
Bro y’all saying nerf but y’all not saying what to nerf
He’s literally balanced rn
He got nerfed 3 times
Get better
w bait 9/10
👈 👍
🔥
#clips message omg…
Busted character
ngl bro it's crazy how nobody used batman until it was obvious they wouldn't nerf him majorly or even in any decent shape at all
Talk about Finn dash attack before Batman
Also they already added 4billion whiff
U want them to add more?
Baterang used to give 5 in beta the lowered it to 3 also that’s on return do u want 0 stacks?
Also it’s a perk
The lowered max stacks from 5 to 3 that’s why it seems that way
At least it doesn’t low profile jab like Harley and joker??
Who do u play @dusty vector
Who do u play
??
Ur complaining about baterang on Reindog??
That’s insane
So I can see ur perspective
Batman has 1 projectile
One projectile that has counterplay
U can parry it in neutral run projectile perks
Who do u play?
Characters like Marvin have 1k projectiles
So it’s useless
To run projectile perk
Characters that beat or can keep up with Batman if u need counter pick, Finn, WW, joker, gizmo, Reindog, Morty, Rick, lebron(surprisingly)
Been watching Batman gameplay and I realize I barely actually use my glide 
Or my up attack
is down special randomly not canceling for anybody else?
sometimes u double jump so u cant jump cancel
but u can dodge
there are 3 ways to cancel divekick
batbomb cancel,dodge, and jump
Isn’t the batbomb cancel only on hit tho?
i tried everything except batbomb i just couldnt do anything
You gotta dodge up
what is meant with hit your opponent with a sweetspot
Some character moves have a sweetspot, like WW uptilt or Adam downtilt
If you hit that sweetspot, you hear a certain soundeffect and the attack does extra knockback + damage if I remember correctly
Tip of WW lasso is also one, Smith gets one with his gun if you select the perk, TnJ had one (got removed) and Jake has one on his side attack I think
Batman doesnt have one
where can i see if a character has one
Play and see if a character has it
You mean for the rift missions?
Yeah
i dont find any the sound is always the same
The devs are lazy so new sweet spots dont actually work
Use WW up air or Harley nair
The back of Harleys hammer has a sweet spot and the tip of WWs foot has a sweet spot which I think actually spikes
A few I can think of are Jake sair, Harley back hit nair, and I think Finn side special
But you can’t use perks
Anything that make the ping sound effect
It sounds similar to the home run bat in Smash
tip of grounded up special??
It’s gotta be something that makes the ping sound
Havent hit that one yet
oh
yeah then no sweetspot
imo tipper is basically same thing
Jake sair is the easiest one to land
Adam downtilt is easiest for me
Oh yeah her air side special while dagger is on cooldown
is puglist better than static?
Very much so
You get either a passive 10% damage boost or you gain 3 extra damage on your next hit after running on the ground for what 4 seconds straight?
Actually Static deal 7% and is triggered by grapple. I talked about this perk a while ago, saying it was underestimated af
Maybe I'm insane and need to memorize every perk but isn't static gaining electrified after running for what feels like days?
I do think it has its uses but having to move on the ground for 4s make it pretty mid
So yea overall Pugilist stay better but dont sleep on Static, it's usable
I think it's just pointless when one of Batmans abilities is literally to just electrify himself whenever he wants
For comparison, one proc of Static equal the bonus damages of pugilist after 107% damages dealt to the opponent
This doesn't proc from grapple and deal way less damages
Also if you play with the burn on projectile, Static also trigger it lol
So you can do something like 11-12% in one grapple
It's pretty insane
But again, you have to run for 4s so...
It's usable on big maps against campy/slow characters
hey is batman's dash attack cancel into dash attack true?
I legit feel bad for Jason players 😭
#clips message someone explain to me how did he get out of this
your jab1 after batarang didn't connect because he bounced too high
as simple as that
Because of the universal change to ground bounces
It drastically affects IG because he used to have the lowest ground bounce by far
So how did I hit him with the combo the first time?
Now it’s standardized among the entire cast
Luckier with his hurt animation
The way you angle batarang influence the KB angle
You probably angled it downward, making him bounce
dont think so think
Is it normal to lose 14 to a game in masters
You should be losing around 15-20 and gaining around 2-3
The way ranked works is the higher your rank the more you lose and the less you gain
There's no reason for that
That's just how it is
It should be the same win or loss imo
I think your win and loss gain should be based on the rank of your opponent
And I also think ranked should match you with people in your rank
Legit
My wins have all been bronze/silver players and my losses have mostly been diamond/masters players (I'm hardstuck plat V because of this bs)
I keep matching with bronze and silver now
But when I was doing good consistently I started getting only plats
U didnt hit jab1 after batarang
i used batman day one
Any Batman’s above Gold?
nah im bronze why
I like Batman on my team (steven).
Plenty
Are you?
…
is there another option other than wasting ur batarang for dogpile?
No. You can’t challenge dogpile with any non-projectile move Batman has
is it the same with tornado?
You technically can but it’ll most likely trade
I’m pretty sure sair will trade with nado
But it’s usually easier to just batterang
If Taz is using nado above you, you can beat it with aerial up special
But you can also just wait out nado and punish the whiff lag tho it’s harder to do so when Taz nado is off cooldown since he can hold it longer
are there certain bnbs and confirms that i can practice?
idk whats true and not anymore lmao, wanna join a batman server where u can ask there? lotta good bat players in it, if u want I can dm u the invite

yeah sure
you should not be able to cancel dive kick
This guy going into every thread to complain about every character 💀
why should you? it creates a spammable combo move with no punish window, you can only punish dive kick by reading what the batman will do out of it which i dont find okay
only the top tiers 😁
i went to the jack thread to stop people from complaining that hes op because hes just not
mid tier
this bait is more obvious that Tom & Jerry's down special
Lmfao
Agreed
most of jacks moveset has a good amount of whiff frames and are well telegraphed with somewhat laggy startup so if youre missing the punish thats on you
same cannot be said for batmans dive kick
its the main reason why hes as high as he is
that and batarang but batarang is kind of vital
batman would be outright bad if batarang got nerfed too hard or removed
Nah
Divekick being cancellable is not the reason hes A tier
😂
he'd drop a full tier if it got nerfed to not be cancellable
and did you not read anything else i just said?
What is your purpose by sending these messages
I am curious
We are all gonna disagree, this is the Batman thread
i wanted to se what batman players thought but since you have nothing valuable to say relating to the move other than just saying "no its not op i love my character so much please dont nerf him" i'll leave
still havent said a word about dive kick
You can be upset in the Joker thread
Divekick is easily readable, idk what else to say
Its a decent move
Has spike potential
what do you mean by this?
"easily readable" in what sense? the startup? the options he can do out of it?
It takes like 0.5 second for Batman to initiate divekick and for his foot to be out, plenty of time to react, the move itself is also kinda sluggish
Startup
doesnt matter if the upper half of his body is out of frame from jumping (curse this stupid ones camera)
Its probably best to assume a batmain will always divekick when hes above
also taz nado is by definition sluggish but it makes up for it because its uncontestable
similar situation with batman dive kick, it basically gives him free stage control because you'll have to gamble at what he does out of it and its uncontestable
best ive gotten trying to contest dive kick is a trade
in exchange for nerfing dive kick give him a better way to deal with projectiles
that way camping zoners arent so obnoxiously overbearing for him to deal with while batman himself actually becomes a more balanced and healthy character
This may be bias but hes healthy imo
you read nothing of what i just sent
you skipped to the end to read the last sentence
I dont understand the gambling part
Can you delete this
Rendering it non-cancellable at all kill the character. But it has already been discussed to nerf it, this is actually what I anticipated when the 1st balance patch hit
batman mains use more than a quarter of their brains challenge
Mods dont like misinformation
batmans defining move is batarang, not dive kick
They didn't go this way and made not so good choice imo
Tbh its a character which uses brains to play compared to half the roster
as it is dive kick is a fundamentally unhealthy move
Try not to spam side special challenge (shaggy edition)
not really, mash dive kick and get free stage control
Divekick is not healthy, and rendering it non-cancellable would still kill the character
I would rather not have the move
I dont see the issue with divekick
But it need to be nerf, I agree
Can you send me some footage of it
Making it non-cancellable for a few frames would be great
Genuinly
Where its a problem, I mean
it needs to be non-cancellable if used on stage so it cant be used as a tool for free stage control
It still is batarang
if used off stage it should be cancellable but only to make it so the batman doesnt sd using it
If you don't see divekick as a strong move you dont abuse it enough pal
or he does and hes coping
Its a decent move, I just dont use it as much
shaggy mains when you talk about rage specials
Same for grapple
Saw Dapper abuse grapple when he fought Bhands and now im trying out the grapple perk and using it more
Im just trying to educate myself
Yea we can cancel it so early, and the hitbox being so good (still even after nerf)
It's definitely an obnoxious move
im fine with the move having a big uncontestable hitbox if theres actually a punish window on whiff, but as is there is none
similar to taz nado
I don't get why they nerfed slide to the ground rather than "splitting" the nerf between slide and divekick
what if like
the move was still cancellable on hit
so it could still be used as a dangerous combo tool
but it isnt cancellable unless it hits
why would we change that tho lol
i assumed you thought i meant remove the cancellation altogether
nah, just on whiff
of course removing the cancellation on hit wouldn't make sense
just erase the move at that point lol
but being able to dodge cancel (on whiff) so early is the issue
it'd also make batman mains more careful about using it offstage
there is no risk divekicking
as it is, as a garnet player i struggle to recover against batman dive kick because he can just cancel it into down air to catch my dodge
garnets dodges are kinda dookie
ive resorted to rocket gauntlet camping till i can destroy batarang
without a disjointed upward move, its pretty much a coinflip
i cant contest it with up air because, despite its range, it's not disjointed 😄
🤷♂️
I appreciate PFGs effort but balance wise I don't always like how they do things
Like they keep hammering on things (not talking only about Batman) that are not the main issue
So yea, you'll probably still manage to balance characters this way, but the toxic stuff will stay toxic lol
the first thing they nerfed about wonder woman was the WHIP out of all things
yes 😂
genuinely their balancing efforts are the most confusing ive seen in any game, theyre the best at dancing around the problem in the industry
Joker still get to have the most insane jab any close quarter character dream to have
fun fact: theres only one di window for garnet to escape jokers combo that kills at 40, and its a 50/50 :)
so as a garnet player the game plan is just "dont get hit by jab" if you get hit by jab you just die
i'd be fine with his jab if it didnt combo into dair
the most insane disjointed hitbox in the game should not be a combo starter for something that kills at 40
the followup is definitely the main issue, but like even the move itself is godlike
great frame data and huge disjoint
framedata wise, it's exactly the same as Batman (13f startup) but get to:
- Have twice the range
- Half that range is disjointed
- It vacuum anything it touch to combo range
- The hitbox strech behind Joker
- Lead to kill or 50/50 situation mad early
There is no reason for jab2 to have so much hitstun
this should get change so bad
i'd be fine with him keeping the combo if the only way to start it is to land dair in neutral
dair is not an easy move to land in neutral
its all about how you start things
I can be ok with a lot of stuff if you can't start them from Joker jab lol
I'm curious about what they will cook with the next balance patch
The 1st one was... well, the 1st one. I hope this time they understood how to approach thngs
🍿
They’re honest trust
Dw about the fact that they do 30% and stack weakened
He needs it
Fr
Like when they nerfed Shaggy’s combos instead of touching his rage specials
They also nerfed Joker in some insignificant way, but idr what they nerfed specifically
try not to spam raged side special challenge (shaggy edition)
move knocks you way too vertical as well
Yeah it’s broken I agree
What do you think about side b spam?
And nair
neither are broken
side b has long startup and punishable whiff frames
nair is contestable
That attack its super fast
Its safe when you fail it
If you dodge it
And if you dont get in
The distance and hitbox of side b will make jack get you anyway
If you dodge side b you get hit anyway
its really not, its so slow its reactable and the whiff frames mean if he misses it (which he will if youre not being predictable) will give you plenty of time to punish
Insane khockback on the throw lit killing you at low percents
I lit cant punish, i dodge the side b, and then samurai jack can jab or do smth again
Needs another nerf
Even outside of that he has a great neutral with attacks disjointed with great range. They lead to easy combos. I'm surprised the number of interactions he wins even with his feets. And his charged attacks are just ridiculous. His side b covers a good portion of the stage for a long time and I think he's invisible while doing it for the most time
I like when batman dives and then kicks
What are Batman's bread and butter combos?
i think jab jab neutral dodge jab jab jab
Jab > Jab > Batarang > Jab > Jab > Dtilt is a very basic combo which basically always works (might need a dodge for the jab after batarang I don't remember been a while since I played him)
depends on the distance and character
but most of the time u need it
i ve also been running a pretty weird batman build
5%, snowball collateral dmg and pugilist
I just do batarang, fire, the speed one, and pugilist
Idk how big of a difference the speed perk makes but idk
I feel like Batman is already pretty fast
Last stand is the best perk period anyway, only reason to run speed is if you have a soul.
True
i ran collateral dmg cuz he already does weakened
tbh fire is also a pretty good choice considering i use batarang in his combos
i ll check the dmg difference
fire is very good imo
cause batarang is used like every second lmao its integral to his gameplan
yeah
Fair, especially with the lowered max weakened.
yeah and since he does a lot of bouncing, the dmg is great
am also using fire now
I don't even think Batman it's broken but it's so ugly to fight against him, is basically a fight about not reading Batman based on animation, it's just a fight of trying to have luck and use your best defensive option cuz he can cancel a lot of his attacks lol
Someone knows good batman combos
bro i sometimes hate this game, iuts fun and all but that all depends on the character your playing against i just hate it when i play against someone who just spams the same move over and over and then even starts being toxic
thats why i prertty muzch quit
did you get cooked by divekick?
you cant not get cooked by dive kick
you either run away from it or you get hit by it or whatever he throws out afterward
definition of a broken move
non-committal, spammable, unpunishable
oh and dont forget it spikes and combos!
and has high priority!
if youre not spamming it youre just not playing batman correctly
simple as that
yeah weve heard it
you seem to always be able to hear it but are never able to refute it
Does Batman have any weaknesses? I don't understand his counterplay beyond playing a fast character
He's not that heavy, that's literally all
destroy his batarang and and half of his combos are gone, but still he s really strong
i got cooked by jokers crowbar
aryas down attack
been using divekick more, been winning games more
we know the move is good
U just gotta lock in smh
Take a break
People always play like 10 hrs in a row
And then complain when they feel like shi
Fr
He’s pretty light, if you get rid of Batarang armored move are a good counter, also he’s not fast enough to over form disjoints so anyone with a sword, bat, etc will probably hit first.
the problem is i feel shi after one round, one joker that has more range than me and has a op crowbar and im shi
Switched from Wonder Woman to Batman. What perks do you guys use?
5%, snowball, collateral and pugilist but my build is kinda personal so u just might use Boomerang, snowball, speed and pugilist
I use batarang, thats flammable, speed, pugilist
why is up special so broken
I use batarang, flammable, 2fast2block, and pugilist
Its ur average uppercut lol whats broken abt it
Average as in its not something special
Its a punch
What are we crying abt here exactly
Batman has much more broken things
Oh no the fully charged uppercut rung me out at 100 its broken
I think he meant aerial up b
Weakened stacks go brrr.
I played a lot of batman recently, in my personal experience, he doesn't relies a lot in hitstun for pulling some sick combos. Is that right?
And btw the batarang perk is still good or a little bit unnecessary?
tbh i use 5%
for the combos i do
Is playing a passive batman style toxic or sum, ppl been t-bagging just because i don't play stupidly aggressive?
Idk 5% can be better but I still use it just cause yk its a free full weakened most of the time
Ppl are just like that lmao
when you do jab x2 --> batarang if they dodge it, the batarang hits them and it counts as coming back
all yall suck compared to me on batman ion wanna hear it
once u play the character more you'll realize that batman might be one of the few characters that actually need more than 3 perk setups because of the range of his difficult matchups
u can use 5% snowball speed and puglist if u dont care about optimization tho
Why is marvin complaining about batman 💀
Talkin bout infernal gadgets like hes not busting out a gazillion projectiles
This usually works well for me but certain characters are incredibly tough
Been looking for a build against Superman and t+j. I seem to struggle against them the most
Baterang perk snowball armor break dash attack and electricity or pugilist
Use ur slide to break his armor but remember slide has a ton of whiff lag so they try to bait out ur slide with dair punish
So be smart before throwing it out
Alright Batman mains, what do you all think is Batman's best and worst move, and why do you think that specific move is his best or worst?
Yall fighting crime?
Crime never sleeps
best are slide/divekick cuz they start the best combos
and the worst one is prob the punch when batarang is on cooldown
divekick because divekick
and side air
because side air
worst move is
idk
I guess the punch on batarang cooldown
but
its better than having nothing like before
hardly a move tbh
Is divekick his Aerial Down Special?
^
On God it's a debuff to have this move
It has absolutely no utility whatsoever, being grounded or aerial you always have a better option for any situation
All this move does is making you whiff something when you try using batarang but didn't see it was on CD
making you at risk of being whiff punished (eventually)
It's nothing really, I'm nitpicking. But if I could I swear I would disable this move
Are slidekick and divekick the same move? Or is one the dash attack and one the down aerial special?
So Slide Kick and Crashing Justice
You got it !
Alrighty, was just a bit confused lol
MVS terminologies can be a bit confusing at times yea
yes
nah I mean its helped sometimes but its just a nothing burger of a move
doesnt rly put u at a disadvantage but doesnt place u at an advantage either
I tried it out in training mode. That move truly is dogwater. Didn't kill shaggy at 400% across the stage
There is a total of 0 (zero) situation where this move lead to a better outcome than using sair/jab/dtilt/slide (depending on context)
The framedata of craprang is bad, no damage, doesn't combo into anything, doesn't kill, doesn't set you up for an advantageous situation
Nothing
I already voiced that long ago and I stayed open for someone to prove me we could do something with it, cause I sure tried
The move looks good lowkey, so I wanted for it to have at least a niche use
But there is just nothing we can do with it unless we are willing to play suboptimal lol
Im sayin yeah the move sucks
but its better than having nothing
cause sometimes when I tried to use rang and it was on cooldown it just did nothing cus I forgot
now
if I use it out of cooldown
sometimes itll decrease the pressure placed on me
like I use it accidentally lmao
never on purpose
but id rather a hit than nothing and then they carry out a combo on me
its more defense than offense
it does nothing offensively yeah but its just a get away tool
You can dodge cancel any move dude
get out.
- why did you delete your previous message? 2. yes you can. dodge cancelling can be done with anyone and any move.
i do it everyday. it's the only thing that helps jason get up to speed with everyone else
that's not dodge cancelling. dodge cancelling is cancelling your dodge prematurely, keeping the dodge momentum while throwing out a move.
in fighting games, instead of waiting for full animations, some moves can cancel animation to do other things. think like spamming down tilt in smash. some character animations never complete because you interupt it with another down tilt
i forget the exact name for it tho
divekick and yeah batarang on cooldown
