#Black Adam
1 messages · Page 2 of 1
flight mode gives adam literally INSANE neutral presence
Nah, I'll have to disagree with you on this one, his neutral is only decent at max, he's constantly getting combo'ed
nobody controls airspace like he does
Harley does
harly bugs and t&j would like to laugh at you
stop getting hit by yolo slides and auto combos
t&j are actually a tougher mu for bladam yeah
bugs ive found hasnt been too bad
not good
but not bad either
probably like 6-4 bugs favor
I dont use flight mode , is that a bad thing?
Very bad
I don't use it much either
But not using it at all is bad
I dont want to bother yall too hard but is there atleast a combo thats true and deals like 40-50 damage?
I'd say your best bet is up tilt into down air, neutral air, side special and side tilt
Some ppl will still dodge it but you can just adapt to that by up tilting again, using neutral air earlier, using side special, ETC
All your combos depend on your opponent's level of skill and/or playstyle
also why does side special launch you off the platform
taking you nearly to map edge
Black Adam flight and side special are super super great movement tools
Not even in just his kits context
can any1 teach me how to play black adam? thanks
Nair, dair, down air special, up tilt, down tilt sometimes, flight to recover or combo
Side B to cover alot of distance or cross up
Flight also let's you space aerials better
Fair and jab kill (fair off the top for combos, jab off of...anywhere. neutral grounded attack is stupid strong)
Play the midrange threatening with aerial down B's and flight spaced normals, punish hasty approaches
You're not fishing for combos, you're fishing for counterhits that lead into tech chases
Bubble if they're projectile heavy, but don't just bubble on the opposite side of the stage and camp. Put it close to them, make them scared of bubbles utility
Gonna be trying out the Adam
Because His Fly ability interests me. How do we approach the neutral game with him?
Read the Above Comment, Very Helpful, I think it answers my question so nvm lol
Sure she's faster but she's light, lotta of wonder woman's moves literally cancel yours, she is heavy and can activate super armor whenever she wants
Bro doesn't know how to do basic spacing and blames it on the character
Just neutral attack bruh
His neutral is pretty bad
You can play around it and it has a ton of endlag
Maybe I’m struggling because of Xbox performance issues idk
His air neutral is fire
Harley has that dang slide tho, it makes it almost impossible to do some stuff
I never had any problems with that, just space it correctly and most punishes will not be more than 2 hits
Also, aerial down B into side aerial
Or just neutral aerial
Anyways, killpower is one of the things adam has THE MOST
I play on xbox and I'm perfectly fine lol
I can’t say the same
It’s not that I have bad WiFi aswell it’s just performance issues
His ground neutral yea ts stinks
Kills pretty early tho, if you do manage to hit it
I’ve hit someone at 157 2 games ago and it didn’t kill
I wish the actual dash from his side special did damage
IDK what everyone has against ground neutral, it's way better than in beta and it's my go-to kill move
Idk how that's possible, I've killed ppl at like 60% with neutral attack
Gets outranged and is pretty slow, you’re better off using nair instead
His neutral special is a whole different story though
It comes out slow and it has a lot of end lag, I prefer to use his air neutral
It works wonders against dashing opponents tho
Especially since it also breaks armor
Though you kinda need to see the future to get it in this matchup
I don't like how long you're stuck after that move either
At least you can dodge out
Compared to neutral special it's safe AF lol
Lot of banana guards seemed to pick up the shaggy method of just spamming side B
Also, it's great for ledge trapping
And it recovers fast enough for you to at least start an up tilt
Yeah, and it sadly works
They should nerf the speed of that crap
And ppl say black adam is a toxic character when banana guard exists lol
Since when was black Adam a toxic character😭
Actually crazy
He feels like the most balanced character in the game imo
Since never, but ppl always say he is for some god dang reason
Dumb people fr🙏
can any black adam 1v1 me and tell me what to improve?
The fact that Black Adam's lightning strike has no cooldown is insane
his nspecial having no cd and can be done in the air is a crazy change for me
His flight is easy mode recovery and he gets his damage from bigger individual moves instead of combos, because of that he was perceived as easy to play and therefore broken if he was actually competitively viable.
That's how he ended up eating big nerfs in beta despite being a pretty crappy character at the time
Okay, has anyone hit a clip with neutral special chaining off projectiles yet?
I managed to land that one time so far and it felt amazing
yea; found out you can chain off the rocket of rick’s jab string
definitely feels like Adam destroys Bugs in a 2v2 setting especially with the chain bouncing off safe AND destroy the safe
streets saying there’s a black adam infinite…
jab jab dodge jab jab dair dair dair dair dair
that sounds not true at all
bugzvii mentioned it in a twitter reply and liked the combo post i have no idea if it’s true or not https://x.com/ferlintokezeir/status/1796979856120435094?s=46
combos on bots dont really mean much, cus the bots dont di
i’m gonna lab it and try to see if i can hit it online
Man I'm trying to play other characters to get points but I am way too accustomed to adam
The way of black adam is too strong
im actually accustomed to black adam
in 2s hes a demon but 1s i have now been able to have a good time if i try to use his kit startegically
u gotta work for ur kills with black adam but it feels mad satisfying
for 1s
I wouldn't say he was bad, especially with certain perks. Neutral special was insanely oppressive and easily brought both opponents to 80% or higher. They definitely overnerfed him after a while, but a lot of the first nerfs were justified
day 1 he was busted cause you could combo up tilt into neutral attack pretty reliably, they corrected that pretty quickly
after that he was pretty mediocre except shock damage from neutral special doing obscene damage in some cases
but instead of just fixing that bugged interaction, they listened to all the whiners and nerfed or broke practically all of his kit except nair
Yeah they ended up making him the only character with actual endlag in the whole game
I'm pretty surprised air down special works in this version considering how long they let it be broken and unreliable
and that was him from day 1 too lol
Yeah it's actually quite good
the only endlag they added was to up attack which already was punishable on whiff
air down special used to no reg if it hit anywhere near an opponents hands
People were so mad at the armor mainly
So they hit everything about the move
Meanwhile in the last patch they mega buff Superman LMAO
they even nerfed the already tiny hitbox on the air version
They definitely overreacted with a lot of feedback on him
Which is just crazy to me
Considering Finn/Jake/Harley were more widely complained about and had 10x the playerbase but hardly got anything done
the thing is the feedback they acted on was high level players on the procord, so it wasn't even the scrubs on twitter that forced their hand
devs should never take player feedback as gospel, no matter whose take it is
yeah for sure
they're hella gonna nerf neutral special though
the counterplay isn't obvious/easy enough for casual play
If they do I hope they end up compensating with buffs elsewhere because his entire game plan relies on it
Somebody can say me some tips with black Adam?
Best perks for Adam?
How do you combo with neutral special?
down air special and dair setup for it pretty well
you can hold down after neutral special to toss em down for potential followups
signature perks are kinda bad on BA so prob wanna stick with the 5% one
thats flammable doc is great in slot one
other two slots are whatever
Knock back>flammable
Noted, thank you
Knockback?
You talking about the one that apply weakened?
Cause snowball doesn't give extra knockback
im da best black adam ngl
All melee hits
Niiice
Basically everything except special attacks for BA
Wouldn't be surprised if some attacks are bugged and not receive the bonus though
A lot of moves aren't flagged correctly for missions and whatnot so I'd be surprised if perks are all working correctly
Like up tilt combo into another uptilt into neutral
Air platform is good for doing side special off of
It’s wild how after a year the game is actually in a worse technical state
Noted, but also Wdym
Ya it's pretty funny
If you go off the edge of a platform as you side special, you'll get a massive speed boost
Woah
So the platform on demand lets you cover the stage pretty quick
Don’t I need to manage my shock orbs though?
You still get the boost without it
has anyone been doing anything with air platform?
^^^^ @tardy rapids
oooo
Noted
Yes mb
I got my ass handed by joker when playing as jason bc I didn't know how to counter his counter 💀
Jokergot a counter???
Bro I hate this bum ahh bannana guard
This side charge is ridiculous
So hard to simple avoid
I'm about to start staying on platforms to avoid his annoying ahh
Let him come to me fr
Did you guys know Adam has loops?
Jab, Jab, Neutral special aimed down (both inputs) repeat
It goes from 0 to 90
(With the shock main perk and burn perk)
(+melee)
Yea I knew this
That's honestly the first loop u can figure out in the lab
Effective to
U can end it with ur neutral if they are decently hifh
Hogh
Wait how are u doing this twice
It’s timing I think, but you have to always aim the neutral special down fully
Both in direction and in launch direction
Huh
What is the neutral special
Thunderbolt right? Cause how does aiming down help
u aim it down when u first shoot it
and then u might not know this but black Adam can choose whether to throw people up or down after getting hit by neutral special
Yeah, you aim it down, and then aim it down again when it hits them
get what we mean? it's kinda like super man up b, where the first hit grabs them and then u can hold which direction U want, except wit black Adam, instead of a grab, it's a projectile that u can also aim up or down and then choose up or down to throw em
Man, I got into a match against a steven and I was getting combo'd to like 50% so I thought "dang, steven is broken"
Then I killed him at like 30/40% and was like "oh"
Nvm I just got into another 2 matches against him and lost badly 💀
Nah
Any black adam glitches?
what perks for black adam?
or infinite combos
Can you send links to several videos of a professional fight for Black Adam?
anyone wanna blackadam 2v2
The one I been using is jab jab lightning strike into drop kick
If u space a bit u can go for the thunder clap to kill after lightning strike
to the black adam mains that dont spam i respect the combos you guys pull off with your lighting 
The projectile spammers rn like bugs and gizmo make it obvious when the projectile is about to come out
So that's when I place my bubble
alr
Ngl why does black Adam's little side lightning bolt cause him to freeze In place for a whole second
Must be a 2v2 balance thing or something
the move is hella cracked now that's why
you mean the big lighting
Yesh
Feels Inconsistent in one's like how do u release it earlier
Cause sometimes I mean to release earlier but it doesn't happen
So I look goofy
dont use it in neutral unless it's a hard read
Hm
I try to use it for hard read but I guess atp it wasn't a hard read to begin with lol
Playing BA feels like you have 3 mid air jumps
The amount of height this character gets in his advantage state is insane
I'm trying so hard to figure out how to extend jab jab thunderstike
The drop kick is innaccuraye
I'm not always hitting it for some reason
Also holy crap shocked perk may actually be good
Provided u can actually land the shocking move
Might try over the well rounded for now
shocked perk sucks pretty bad
shock status doesn't last nearly long enough to take advantage of
Yea you are right eh
might be approach viability with a garnet partner maybe
I barely even notice when I shock my opponent lol
its like neutral special and neutral attack only
https://streamable.com/1jdvjn I don't get it how is this kick inaccurate here
U guys think there's a way to extend this into a true combo after thunderstrike
Or does it just end there
Woah wrong clip
Nevermind
uptilt followups are pretty are pretty unreliable
Adams jab is also really weird
It feels way harder to cancel into stuff on the second hit than it should
https://streamable.com/3o58o7 this one
after that it mostly just becomes a mix up
It's most likely character dependent
di dependant
That aswell
Ahh you are right
try using side special instead of up tilt
or you can go straight into the kick from the second jab
Yea this works to
But I feel like lightning strike is just better atp
its better against huge characters or people that won't di at all
Oooo
Yea nah this is too easy to dodge unfort, but it does land idt it matters much altho it would be so cool of it lined up with thunder strike
I didn't know there was a gap there since side special comes out pretty fast
I figured out how to implement the clap
It's hit box is massive
Nvm..
Works on higher percentages it seems
YES!
Works after 60%
Kills at 111% on shaggy
Yooo
Notice how the moment 60% is it, the clap starts to actually land
This kills at 110%+ on shaggy I noticed
you can definitely do in there and avoid the clap
Best build for black Adam pls
plus up tilt is even easier to di out of at high percents
Hmmm right right
don't bother with his other signature perks, they aren't better than 5%
hats flammable doc is great in slot 1, other two are preference
just switch out the second slot with "thats flammable, doc"
leave the others as default
yep
And the 5%?
yep
Alr thanks!
np
Isnt circuit breaker better
I run circuit breaker, Thats flammable, doc, speed force assist and armour killer
nah circuit breaker is pretty bad
shocked status doesn't last very long
only neutral special and neutral attack give shocked now and it's not as easy to combo off neutral special now
im trying out black Adam for 1s, i think he's my new favorite 1s character
i don't know if he's really good but i just like him
oh he's REALLY good
insane killpower, good survivabilitiy, puts you in a 50/50 in basically every juggle scenario and amazing movement
only slightly hard part is neutral but even then he's great at shutting down other characters neutrals with his gigantic aireals or removing projectiles from the game projectiles down B
The Shazam family as a Black Adam variant would be cool
it's an amzing soul read
it makes more sense to have only the og Shazam as a variant or you'd have like 5 of them
Given the appearance of Ben-10, it would be interesting to see Shazam as a separate character. A child turning into Shazam. (Just like Ben-10 would turn into his monsters for a while)
I don't really see how they'd fight in their child forms or if they even would
Ben has a better case since the Omnitrix can defend itself
But Shazam does basically nothing as Billy other than turn back into Shazam since y'know
He's 13
Have you ever played mugen?
Ben-10 is very beautifully made there with its bunch of shapes.
I mentioned how Ben has a stronger case for that before
Also this is the Black Adam channel let's go back to the topic lol
Shaggy doesn't have a particularly strong argument for protecting himself either. He's just a man.
there is no instance anyone should lose against BA
those that do are bad or don't know what he does
Ben 10 is better off as his OV self, rather than 10 year-old Ben anyways
Can you please upload a video about BA players? I've seen combo guides, but I can't imagine how to do them in an online game, because people can easily dodge.
All of them would be cool
I would like to see Albedo as a skin (and Ultimatrix skins for monsters)
And Kevin Levin in the form of the Omnitrix absorber as a character.
BA doesn't have combos outside of dummy training
nothing connect consistently and like you said, all his moves are too slow
people just say he's strong because they're better players than who they're playing against. but put it in equal skill leve and he is worse off than IG or Jason
then could you please upload some videos about the players so that I can see how good players play?
no you can look online
The downplay is wild
Comparing Adam to IG is like comparing Wolf to Little Mac
lmao this is insane downplay 😂😂 black adam s tier
deadass 😭😭😭 im weak man
Though I will say
Adam has alot more unfavorable matchups than you'd like a top tier like him to have
But then again, that's because those bad match ups are top tiers
Jake and Harley are horrible for him for example
Every other matchup is even or favorable
Harley horrible for everyone lol
no matchup is even
you're either better at reading your opponent or you lose
there is nothing you can
that mostly applies to a huge majority of the cast
People just be saying whatever, without any knowledge of the game
not alot of characters have cheat neutral buttons that aren't on cooldowns (unless if you're a yellow dog)
this game is about moving around your opponent and knowing when to go in or stay out, and Adam is really good at moving around his opponent
Adam projectile game also crazy
would love to be proven wrong when ranked comes out.
but when it does and he's bottom tier you all gonna be looking at me with surprise pikachu face
and his neutral special makes his side special a good projectile
why does ranked need to come out to determine his tier? In smash Little Mac has high win rate but is still one of the worst characters
alot of prominent players have very high opinions of him, and the community at large seems to think so as well
you can disagree of course but your argument is just a guess
and yet no tourny play with him
not a bad one per say, but a really unlikely one considering how he's looking
there has been very few tournaments since the game launched, and in the previous beta he was a completely different (and way worse) character
Ive seen like 4 BA players in the rise of multiversus tourney going on right now lmao
and did they do well?
So results are a bit too early to throw out as an argument
yet you're all throwing out that he's top tier because these same players say so
Im not watching a BA player so idk, Bugzvii fought a very good one and he admitted BA is a good character after the set
can't be too early if everyone else is saying at same time
potential is also a huge factor in terms of character viability
not saying BA can't be strong just saying he does not win a single matchup in an equal skill fight
Melee for example has alot of top tiers that haven't won many majors, but are still considered to be very strong
You are saying he's not strong in that case
I can confidently say he beats Taz, Velma, and IG (with no infinite) in equal footing fight
The entire Black Adam downplay is completely invalid because of air down special alone bruh
that move alongside flight hold such an oppressive angle
it's impossible to edgeguard BA
He is without a doubt in my mind S Tier
BA is what happens when you give ganondorf an actual float
What I enjoy though is this game has a lot of depth when it comes to tiers, people have been saying a wide range of characters are S Tier with exception of select few very low tiers
and about a 1/4 of his kill moves
BA is frl what Ive always wanted ganon to be
finally, the great king of evil ganondorf is canon
You need like 3 kill moves in this game to function, look at Batman lol
Uppercut, Uppercut in the air, Rang offstage
Competitive MVS is so nice, this tourney has been great so far
what are some variants of black Adam you would like to see? I would like to see the Shazam family being variants
Would love to see shazam himself
Would you mind telling me whenever something like that rolls around? I really want to join a tournament soon
Separate character?
Or is there a server maybe
Same here
I can try, I learned about the tourney just an hour before it started lol
Just follow a prominent player in the MvS scene u wont miss many tourneys
Bugzvii plays in almost every tourney so theres that
That would be cool, but I wouldn’t want the whole roster to be Dc characters
Facts, we need some more variety
But SPOILERS.
Powerpuff girls and Samurai Jack have been leaked, so im glad they are finally doing something different
That’s why I’m suggesting skin variants of other DC characters
unavoidable really, DC and Looney Tunes will always be disproportionately represented no matter what
Man I just want woody woodpecker
I get that, but there is a workaround built into the game for that to not happen
He was bottom tier lol
always will be.
everyones on copium so that they can continue playing their projectile spamming cahrxzs
dawg
find better bait to regurgitate
you bring nothing of value to the chat by trying to rage-bait
at least you could go and do this in the wonder woman chat
it'd be marginally funnier
found one
It's crazy how I have never played projectile spam characters and this mf is still busted
BA mains on their way to downplay harder than HQ mains
As much as I downplay black adam a bit when someone says he's busted, some people downplay him way too much
He's still a monster in raw killpower and damage output, it's just his neutral that is crap and the fact that he needs to ACTUALLY WORK for his wins that make him kinda underwhelming compared to the rest of the cast
"underwhelming" and it's just a character where you can't mash 2 attacks like BG or WW
that's the entire point.
people keep saying he's s tier because he hits hard.
good luck getting those hits off vs any competant player
Yeah, exactly, he's just honest
The hell u talkn bout
With this logic shoot maybe ww or something isn't s tier neither
I can agree that unranked isn't the best way to see how good a character is in general
U needa peep ranked or tourneys
Yea this chat is cooked
Top5 black adam in beta, w bait
He was top 5 y'all are just downplaying
What was your top 5 in beta then
I needa know how BA fit into that list
Cause bro was mid->ass
I'm in bracket and I'm bouta fight a Black Adam, y'all got any tips for me? I main Iron Giant btw
Nvm the Black Adam lost
Boutta start maining this loser
As my second main
In the right hands this man S tier bruh
in any hands he IS S tier
i picked him up like yesterday and haven't lost a single game yet
I hope they buff blackadam
Did you guys try his tech with airwalk (perk) its really good and it saved me so many times. When you guys spawn a platform and use side special you get a CRAZY boost of momentum you guys should try it
i dont understand are you saying that he doesn not need it ?
its not that he needs it or not but i think it is better having it for disadvantage in the sides its really great for getting back in the middle
I mean you could say the same for every other character
its just because he suits your game style and you are prob not bad at the game but the char is not that easy
you need setups for kills
maybe 🤷♂️
ah yeah well neutral special whiff has gotten me in a combo multiple times
yeah i was agreeing with you?
Black Adam tips I found online
U got any gameplay on yt
What would be ur advice on engaging in general with him
/starting off the battle
Figures, it had alot of endlag
I like starting off with that, usually draws them into me
Oh that's cool, I fly alot to but usually not for engaging and stuff
Just for spacing and making them whiff
That's true
After 3-0'ing like 3 harleys in a row I'm starting to think harley isn't as bad of a matchup as I thought
Nah flight against good players they can contest it if you are in the below right (or left) corner of the screen but with this tech you can fly away and do it to zoom in to the middle that is why its great and its good for closing huge distances to interrupt set ups or power ups
Should I use it can you give a video
Also when do I need to use up special (flying)
Sure ill record a quick lil video just give me like 5 minutes
When are yall using the neutral special
When the opponent is dumb enough to fall for it lol
Jokes aside, I generally use it when the character mostly approaches on the ground
It's too hard to read jumps at the correct angle
thanks
NP
against zoners sometimes its useful
I love playing with him he is so broken lol
i dont play black adam but damn
last game i had a black atom that was just comboing me
for some flipping reason his combos can just suck you in
even if you move away
i played BA in the beta can he land the neutral special after the lightning strike still
honestly thinking about playing BA in tournies since morty is so bugged out rn
i was going to ask about both @cobalt mason
the attack and the special
i’d lab it out myself but i’m workin atm
they neutral special can’t combo into anything since the doing the attack locks you in place
also it can’t combo itself because of how slow the projectile is
okay i see in the beta it worked different so im working with old knowledge lmao
what’s the bnb rn?
yeah you can’t just throw it out anymore
yea that’s what i figured
i’ll lab this guy out later today see if i like him in ones
is jab dair also a solid option for combo starters?
just curious because i’ve been seeing people opt for that route aswell
if others are doing and it’s working it might work
i never tried it
i usually stick the the jab upsmash
and from that upsmash you have options based on the di
if it’s di down you can just down sir again
and in some cases you can jump side special and hit them with the lightning strike
but also is uptilt is mad good
it will drag em to the middle if you hit the outer edge
plus super armor
is black adam very hard to play?
he look fancy n all but i dont wanna have to play countless hours to know how to play him decently
btw is june 7th when ranked coming
or whenever that challange is
the hard part is being creative
there's been times where I forget I have air down special lool
I forget I have neutral special lol
Every single time I've ever done backwards side special into down special for a quick reflect, it has hit so far
People just don't see it coming for some reason
I just think adam needs to stay right where he is honestly
If I had to buff any move it would probably be aerial down special to make it easier to confirm into air kills
He is really solid
Yeah, he is really strong in some aspects and weak AF in others, I like that
I said aerial down SPECIAL, the small 1-2 lightning bolts that shoot downwards diagonally
At least it remains active, unlike Jason sleeping bag
It was better in the beta, now you can't even hit some characters out of a short hop
You just tap down slightly longer against those
Adam IS kind of a tank tho
Or use flight for a mini hop instead of jumping
Guys what are the perks for ones
I would honestly give side special i-frames on the dash when it's off-Cooldown, make it a counter move with the peojectile combo starter
Flammable, last stand, pugilist
But yeah, hardly anything I'd outright buff on Black Adam, he's very strong as is
I'd do that to his side special, but just because it'd make the move more fun
I use snowball effect, last chance and pugilist
Press advantage is not really that useful too, I'm damage focused
He's not saying to run press the advantage either
He's saying to run the ignite projectiles perk
The passive fire dmg stacks more than an overall 7%
There's like 2 projectiles
Also, 15% extra dmg on shocked enemies + 5% extra dmg from pugilist is enough
wth i cant change perks it says must own fighter, i bought this guy on release and i literally just changed his perks 5 seconds ago...
Not to mention you can easily and frequently combo into projectiles like side special or neutral special
ai ill just restart
So in the end, you ignite enemies often
i need someone to run ones against me so i can learn against them
i need to become more creative with this guy
Bannana guard is real nasty though
just got black adam, any good perks and tips on how to play him??
use your flight
it gives you great advantage
remember you’re neutral air breaks through armor as well
i run circuit breaker
snowball
last stand
pugilist
and when i play against WW and iron giant i use armor killer
Run flammable instead of snowball.
Over-time ignite ends up stacking up more than the 7% increase
Think that if you deal 100 dmg, snowball is only adding 7 extra dmg
But if you ignite like, twice during those 100 dmg, you're already doing more
Any bread and butter simple combos I should be doing with Black Adam?
I want to pick him up
Gotcha
holy crap black adam is so nasty if u use flight then keep juggling
I prefer a single side air, it catches dodging enemies and kills earlier
So his up air, lightning effect has 2 charges?
I'm just trying to figure out all his kill moves
His clap move seems to be the best
And his neutral attack
They hit very hard
I use clap to usually engage a fight
What moves do you engage with?
Black Adam has a nice kill combo with up attack (if the lighting strikes em back down) into neutral air
yeah I have to so much time lol
Labbed this kill loop, what do you guys think?
Still have to test in an actual match and against later
Ight i had some decent games with black adam. You have to read ahead of your opponent a lot and I like that about this game.
Wonder Woman is my primary character
So Black Adam is my 2nd pick lately
i feel like everyone can play ww
you def can be bad with her but if you're good at the game, you're good at ww
yeah for sure, but to say she's not one of the easier characters to co-main would be a bit of a lie
Yeah I don't think I can loop into a kill in game but the beginning is nice for some quick damage
Thanks he's really fun and strong
That's true
I turn around when I do lightning most of the time to pull them it feels consistent, unless my opponents don't know how to di
ww is cancer
just came here to asy you're all dog and carried by an unbalanced bull character
thats true tho
Play him then, let's see if you hit anything without getting punished
Bro name says "the Martian goat"
I did
45-0
btw
martian is the mechanically hardest character in the game
🤣
bro dont know iron giant
Let me guess, doubles?
1s obviously
still adam mains get
some respect since
you're not playing harley buggs or banana guard
BG mains are genuine freaks of nature
That's exactly my point tho, compared to like almost any other character black adam needs actual skill, yeah his combos do mad damage and he kills early but he can't just win neutral by clicking side special
harley too
fair fair
still hes annoying when u main marvin cause
he cancels out 9 of ur moves
I might be crazy but some harleys are fun to play against once you know what you're doing against them
no
Fair, I tried to play joker and black adam DESTROYED me like 2 times
shes playing on old speed and pre nerf combos
Same thing for Finn actually
I was testing him and MF had almost no endlag, I felt like he was even faster than in the beta
Yea
finn is insane rn
but at least he takes some sort of exection

Man I was so mad at banana guard I made AM's hate speech from "I have no mouth and I must scream" but for banana guard and his players lol
Post video in combos and direct ppl there or use stramables
Streamablez
I been messing up my black adam gameplay rn trying to implement any new advice I see
Think I'm spamming fly too much and it's too predictable but I heard that's the main strat
Also, bad players are pretty easy to read, in Harley's case she's sometimes pretty punishable for her mistakes and doesn't have a lot of comeback power
BG on the other hand is impossible to punish even if you read the future and can just take your stocks right back with some stupidly strong moves
Banana guard
That just happened to me BTW, I'm just venting lol
Respect, IDK how to use those guys even in a million years
Yea maybe I'm overthinking
I don't think I've seen a decent rick player yet lol
Hes not
a high tier
in any universe
lol
hes a mid tier
morty is a giga low tier
I just feel like when I'm trying to land on their whiff punish I'm too predictable
The #1 rick so far placed 128th in mirrormans tourney
Do you use aerial down special to space ?
Or so he was in the beta
says something no?
hes
low B
but wtv
Also aerial neutral attack?
dawg not mirrmorman
a guy that ranked as the #1 rick
played in the tourney
and didnt even get top 100
on rick
that analogy says nothing
The triple bolts? No I'm not a tually
Actually
to be honest it proves my point
Not nearly enough as I should
he played his main in a troll pick tourney
Man I'm thinking of entering a tournament but every time I lose to a predictable MF who I can't punish makes me feel bad
and still got cucked since that main
is bad
no?
was the #1 ww player in the tourney?
I'm not
you're just debating that rick is anything above a mid tier
Well eh let's see more rick tourneys b4 we properly rate him
which he's not
hes B
comfortably
B = balanced
hes ok
morty is the one that actually NEEDS help
if my opinion is irrelevant yours
is in the dirt
I don't get how ppl are rating characters when there is no ranked and small tourney footage like
Well, use it, Don't spam it but use it mostly when the enemy is zoning, on the air, edgeguarding or something like that, if he keeps coming on the ground try to get far enough to use neutral B (yeah I know it's punishable but it's one of his best responses on the ground) and neutral attack, depending on their ground attacks you can use aerial down B too
how do I even compete?
I was top 100 on morty
ww
and finn
in the beta
I just didn't bother
you think you're talking to someone that doesn't know how the game works
you're not
how do I even compete
then
beta
since you didn't play it
there were lbs
anand rankings
and*
you competing in a tournament
and probably getting sht on
doesn't mean anything
you didn't get top 100
in a few hours
but ok
Ah got it got it
It's also not helping that my small brain is still mashing a bit too frequently but I'm slowly stopping that issue
Espically since we got alot of endlag on moves so u really don't wanna be mashing
IK how it is man, take your time
Also, one last tip, when you're losing HARD start to think "which move I have that helps me against the thing that person is doing to mess me up ?"
Oo that's a good mentality to began heading towards
Would appreciate alot!
is adam worth learning?
i play buggs and garnet but looking to try black adam since he looks cool af saw him in a tournament last night and made me wanna try it out
Alr
Alr
What's the word?
Ngl on xbox 2s is too buggy
Keep dcing
Aii, I wanna try out 1s first tho
My worst mu rn is like bugs and joker
Best is Jason
Sweet
Feels hard cause I always want flight I feel like
I'm struggling way to hard jsus
Jesus
I was trying start up the air combo but i usually don't force it so early
Really bad At it early
Aii
But won't that burn my dodge and make it easier to keep me from recoverng
Hm yea you right
Thid last one nd we can hop to 2s
But As u can see I'm spamming too much idk why
Ur gameplay is so calm and calculated lol
Idet u were really trying
That's true that's true
Wym like I gotta pay
Yea I noticed this a problem I struggle to follow up on the air combos
I thought I always was canceling the auto combo
Ah, nah I get it
Alot of Times I was missclicking aswell lol
Oh yea fs
Lag spike
Ok
Hold on lemme reload
Shii if I can't handle 1s wonder how I'm holding up in 2s
I don't understand on what u mean I dint attack enough tho, like surely u see me just mashing there lmao
Yes I did
^
How good is black adam rn? been playing superman ever since i started a couple days ago
I see him always on a/s tier in videos on yt
Wanted to see other opinions
Don't be a smartass nobody likes that
Yeah go delete your post. shame on you
Good
Easily triggered like a lil girl
🤣
Not worth my time
did black adam have any changes from the beta? if not, then I really slept on him omg
I played him during the beta for a little but I never used him like I do now
Adam is basically another character now
He's faster, stronger, has almost no cooldowns, he got buffed AF
meh i tried running air walker on him but what grounded option is better than just chasing with sair and hair?
uair ***
not talking about approaching.
i’m talking about utilizing the air walker platform
Guys, I might be going to the enemy team....
Harley is kinda fun to play
I still won't main her but she'll probably be a secondary/tertiary
Yeah but she's kinda similar to adam in some aspects, air controlling, side special is both an approach move and a panic button that hits behind you, kinda read focused (bc some kill confirms need setup) and is mostly a damage dealer
Also I just noticed almost all the characters I play are villains/antiheroes from DC lol
Harley is basically bugs
Basically if bugs had a child with adam
Joker came after so it's more fair to say "joker plays like harley" than "harley plays like joker"
nothing wrong with that unless you downplay the character
I used steven all throughout the beta when he was considered a C to D tier character but now he's S tier on every tier list
I never doubted that he could be an S tier character from the start
Hey guys
He's busted alright, he can do insane amounts of damage and shut down everything with that neutral air
I trusted adam ever since the beta too
Yep
black adam is kinda valid ig
harley
is
jesus christ
the hate I have for that character
She kinda grew up on me ngl
pity
At first I hated her but then I noticed most of her players where predictable and I started to enjoy playing against her
I destroyed like 3 harleys in a row yesterday
Some put up a fight
perks?
I hate fighting Harley it’s not fun but that’s cause I’m bad
i have not won against a single black adam since launch
he's too powerpul and fast and spastic
My brother in christ just dodge
ITS IMPOSSIBLE
Skill issue
You’ll get better with time big bro keep the grind up dw
how do you read dodges
im tryna perfect my juggle
is that a way to read dodges so i can punish with up air
and the side air
Just comes with practice
The more you go the better you’ll get at reading people
Just give yourself time and keep running it I believe in you king
Most of this game comes down to practice, not everything can be taught. The more you play things will become second nature.
based
So... how does BA kill?
I mean Sair seems to be the only good kill button, everything else has a gorillion frames of startup or just doesn't kill.
who counters black adam
How to deal with bugs
this guy just keeps spamming the spinning thing and then hamer down
im pretty sure its an infinite or the dodge window is very tight
You're joking right ? His main selling point is damage and killpower, just space neutral attack right, same for aerial neutral attack, and for Sair, just set it up with aerial down special
Also backwards down air kills.....sometimes
I mean yeah I recognize his nair and neutral attack hit hard but they're also slow as hell (though nair does have a really strong hitbox too)
So no I'm not kidding
But the S Dair combo isn't something I knew of so thanks
I also know you can up air ladder with your jump and up special at early percents and sometimes kill like that
80% of my BA knockouts are early ladders other 20% are high percent nairs lol
I think ba is cool cause you can pk thunder into pk thunder and pk thunder
There's nair, dair, sair, and U Air. It's a term coined from smash but instead of a Sair the characters in that have a fair and bair.
if you get them weak enough and if you start punching it may grab and throw them off the map
Just picked this character up, any advice to playing him?
Um you can bounce ur lightning ball off of thiershield and hit people in the back then charge them with ur side attack into a punch spam
Spacing.
Me too, but you need the right spacing to do kill confirms
Nah I just bullied a batman by uplight sidelight uplight sidelight
He didn’t have prep time
holy crap learning how to read dodges actually pays off alot with black adam
i am getting so many early outs because of it
Neutral Special is crazy
Guys can I have some tips with Adam?
yo whats the deal with harley
i keep noticing my attacks go through her like literally my punch would connect through her first but she still is able to get attack on me and hitstun then
shes a tough matchup for me
If you dont know already his neutral special can be directed to any direction so you can push enemies in any direction when hitting them
Bro just discovered you need to read people with a read-based character
Spacing.
harley is bad. All my homies hate harley
Harley is my secondary lol
stinky
She's really fun to play, she feels like an easier bugs bunny
Her hitbox is pretty small I think, plus she's fast AF
Honestly IDK what part of adam's kit works against her, I'd say it depends on the Harley player themselves
nah ill be honest when i was juggling i was just randomly doing up air and hoping to knock out. Today i started actually looking at what the other guys dodging patterns are and trying to predict then follow up
I generally just do up tilt, down air and Nair, that does a nice like 60% and sets it up so you can get that juicy neutral attack if the opponent gets caught lacking
She also profile shifts which a lot of people don't understand
do you use the neutral special and normal ground attack (the electric blast) in ones?
i barely use it idk if its worth using it
well i use netural special if its an easy shot but other than that its mad risky
IDK what this is lol
I use the neutral ground attack, it's not as risky if you predict and time it well
Neutral special is almost useless tho, it's more useful against ppl that approach on the ground or launch projectiles to approach like joker, but it's still very situational even in those cases
I... see.
Profile shifting is the act of a character's hurtbox shifting around during an animation.
Which makes them harder or easier to hit depending on the circumstances.
what is best perks for black adam in 2v2
awesome thanks!!
It's the same in 1s btw
You just don't get a teammate with snowball
what about the first perk?
The 15% dmg to shocked enemies one
ima main adam until samarui jack comes
but godamn adam is too fun hope he stays this way'
and once you learn how to parry people attacking you back you've basically become the juggling equivalent to a grappler
ik how to parry but idk when to parry. Like its very useful but idk when to properly utlize it
also yk how when you parry ur enemy is like stunned for a bit, does the type of attack dictate how long that stun is. I just parried a batman but he instantly attacked could be a he threw batarang very close right before he got stunned but usually when i parry they are stunned for a good bit
Whats BA's worst matchup?
yes
Adam can kill anybody around 50 with lightning ladders, doesn't make it an easy matchup
I actually agree with TnJ, but not Harley or Bugs.
####ing finally bro he was the worst character in the beta
i genuinely hate harley quinn
can godamn just be inside me and assaulting me with 10000 moves at mach speed
how do i space when she is literally glued to me
I normally get bullied by them and dislike fighting them but like I said I’m probably just bad with black Adam
How do you even see where you place with a character
Ah right
Could be old beta but some tournaments HAVE been attended. Not enough to have a "top 25" of a single character's players, and nothing offline but..
I'm curious about your thoughts on how to perform with the character then. The only thing he seems good for in 1s is lightning ladders, and while I do get it's a 2s game I haven't ran into a character who played well in 2s that was garbage in 1s, in any platform fighter.
So if there's tech I'm missing I'd love to find out, he seems super fun
Ong if they don't fix these damn xbox servers
The "servers suck" issues sound so few and far between that I'm honestly wondering if it's not just a connection issue
Cause it doesn't matter what console when I hear it
But I've also literally never had connection problems beyond Day 1
This is definetly on the client side
Seems worse on xbox
Baffling to release the game when console servers are piss poor rn
Majority of the demographic right there
Yk after a while
Really starting to notice this input buffer issue ppl talking about
Game is not keeping up with the movements I want
It becomes really apparent when I use my neutrals lol, reaction time feels so slow
Hope so, feel like I need to press the dpad hard in order to make the game realize which movement input I want
I mean all they said was performance issues
There are alot of them rn
Not the input buffers specifically
There was a tweet about that or am i tripping
i really hope they bring back all the beta controller setting options
i always used Rtrigger for jabs but now I ruin my game by doing our laggy ahh side attack everytime
also jabs aren't super fluid with dash attacks being added
THIS 200%
Who TF thought it was a great idea to bind jabs with dash
🤦♂️
if you dodge into jab or just quickly press back after dashing jab becomes fluid
what does moving back after jab do?
also is it just me or do jabs have crazy input delay
it cancels the dash so jab comes out instead of dash attack
how quickly do you have to input it then?
because for me just holding in a direction for like half a second puts me into dash attack
He has a lot of endlag for his moves, making for easy punishes
Imma main him until woody woodpecker comes out (if that's even possible)
Tho samurai jack will probably be fun AF to play ngl
yeh his whole moveset is leaked, honestly all of his moves are flashy and i think he has a counter move as well
his kit is complex but it looks fun to play. I prefer high skill ceiling characters cuz they are so satisfying when they are mastered
