#Superman
1 messages · Page 3 of 1
I faced a superman who literally just canceled the armor attack at will anytime i went for the whiff punish
And do a wave dash reset and come back to try and bait me
yeah man he's a hooper thats just how it is
you can put 100000 hours into any character and look like a monster against anyone else who isnt as good as you
learning the matchup is your choice though and its not easy but atleast you can develop a gameplan and see yourself get better at executing it every time you play a supes
until you know just how to beat superman players at your level and even slightly above (since they might not know the matchup as well as you)
Its whatever
Feels like my 1k wins or whatever is for nothing when i get cheesed out of a game, this mid season patch better address the core issues or the game dies AGAIN
cheesing is just part of platform fighters
and has been since forever
ever since the first SSB
and the convo we are having is one they probably had to have back then too
besides supes has the glaring weakness of a terrible neutral
you can take advantage of that
Guess that answers my next question if platform fighters are even competitive, at least this one
And true, his neutral is ass
this isnt even exclusive to platform fighters
this is all fighters
"noob stompers" is a term because of that
characters that do really well against newer players but struggle otherwise
I lost like my first 300 games on smash before I started winning
That's crazy

can any superman players respond to this
maybe could have upaired but honestlya s far as i can tell that's about the best u can do
aw dang. im not good with Superman I just like that he has super armor on his moves. only played him for a few hours while in free rotation
u seem pretty good to me. Superman is all about false combos and high lethality imo
Superman needs buffs
thank u! i'll try to remember that. Superman seems great for off-stage shenanigans
for someone that's not good with him you did pretty decent in that clip, most new superman's spam sniper punch
Iron Giant is the character I play the most. i've come across many Superman players, it's easy to replicate their playstyle. I just am not good in the sense that I know every Superman combo at every percentage and what ko's at what specific percentage
Honestly for Superman he can kill at almost any %
I didn't get to finish off this banana but still was a crazy assist #clips message
Was at 0%
i see, i see. yeah, he's probably better in 2v2s. there's so many things going on to focus a lot on one person
sniper punching past ur current "opponent" on the other dude is just so nasty, they enver see it coming
Is Joker just a 0-10 match up?
What tool am I not using to beat this broken character
No matchup is ever 0-10 outside of a very select few instances across all fighting games
That being said, yeah Joker is pretty rough for Superman
The only thing I can say is to punish Joker for overextending his combos (usually he’s trying to chase you with balloon which has a decent amount of lag)
If you get hit by his air side b, you’re basically screwed
@tall edge You are literally a clown lol
2nd game on LOL
DAMN the beef is crazy
I had a joker full on passive only bait and punish gameplay the entire match
Like please bro I’m trying to have fun 😭
Feel like joker has to be rough for everyone
Most of your ability to beat jokers is gonna come from the fact that they’re being carried by joker and probably are actually much worse than you tbh
Yeah, he’s a bad matchup for a lot of characters. Joker is the second best character imo
I keep watching him spam up attack and I think to myself "What gimmicky spammy move does Superman have?"
O wait none
Superman can’t spam the same way, but he can kill off a single read
he'll get nerfed soon enough friend
ice breath helps with his pressure though since you can freeze the balloon
and the cards
flying side special is the definition of gimmicky spammy move
And it has the worse hit box ever with low kill power
its still super gimmicky and spammy since its inconsistent
miss that up throw.
Nothing like punishing some greedy shaggy charging at the top lmao
Its crazy that characters can kill with up attacks at 90 but up throw is gone
you still can
you just flip who is edgeguarding
Why do we need the throws again? do we just want to be iron giant 2 again?
Superman ledge campers in beta just waiting to grab you and cheese a stock by throwing you directly down we’re really annoying
the occaisional down throw was so juicy though
Still crazy we don't have a Daily Planet stage with the classic Superman theme similar to the Batcave.
They could also do The Fortress of Solitude
True
This character is so nerfed its insane
Fighting actually good players instead of noobs dodging into full charge smash attacks tell you alot
Until you IAD sair someone from the edge of the stage and kill them off the side 👌
did it twice in a row on a Finn today
And then Finn TODs you at 50 off the top
Finn's TOD isn't even true if you DI out so I'm generally not worried about it
The only thing they can really get you with is a dodge read using side special
I just want my moves to kill at high %. That's all lol
I grabbed a guy at the ceiling at 90% and he lived
If a bugs up airs you at that kinda height your dead at 60
I think the problem with superman is that
He's kinda balanced
Vs
The meta who are unbalanced
I think we complain because we don't have the broken aspect like other characters have yknow
Yeah also we mad cause beta had broken cheese Superman and we lost the broken cheese for some plain normal cheese
Any superman changes?
none spoken of in the stage
but they are saying the blog post with the full notes will go over practically everyone
so gotta wait until notes are released to know
I don't own Superman but got him to level 5.
Did goat get buffed?
All nerfs
He got his grounded up special sig perk back tho
Uptilt stuns less
Air Up special is more punishable
We got cooked
What does the frost breath nerf do exactly?
I think it's just so friendly projectiles affected by ice breath can't deal more than six stacks of freeze
Wow there is no love for this character
Im just gonna play Velma in 2v2 this is cringe
After all the bullcrap since launch Superman got NERFED
and Tom and Jerry still has his up attack loops
Dude superman is getting nerfs when his down special barely works
His lazer beams? They work fine for me
People literally run around over the down special and don't get hit, it's so bad
Also his grounded up special doesn't even lead into itself and barely has any combos into it, why would you run it as a signature perk???
Its so bad it literally NEVER works
It does lead into itself? I've done it to many players and they got it by hit the entire time both in 1's and 2's.
Works for me. They still get launched in the air when they don't move outta the way on the ground and still get caught on fire.
It doesnt work depending on % most of the time
They must be dropping their controller then cuz you literally just have to hold away
I guess I didn't word that correctly
Ah yeah that's true. It's cause they get knocked backed farther on higher damage percent. Like at 80
I’m ngl I understand why
Superman probably has a good win rate
They do combo with a cancel down air
since despite his weaknesses his matchups are usually always easier than who he is facing
Also grounded up special it's True with up air
Nope. 48% win rate in 1v1 and 47% win rate in 2v2
He was unjustifiably nerfed
I mean that's great but that means you still don't want the new signature perk, which is what I was talking about
I dont know why you would run something else than sniper punch (besides specific matchup)
Honestly 5% may be the best
5% is better than sniper punch imo
Sure sniper punch can kill at like 40, but it’s so easily reactable
It's like Greninja shadow sneak from Smash Ultimate, but with a very clear visual indicator where it will be. It's very easy to interrupt and won't work against good players
Since armor only applies when he starts the actual punch
Yeah you can literally just throw a lingering hitbox on reaction and Superman gets hit
Or just dodge
💩 devs Superman was literally one of the few who needed nerfs
Superman wasn’t anywhere near broken like WW or bugs
Just listening to children who suck at the game
And cancellable
the only time it works for me is aiming it where they aren't in hopes they'll dodge to that spot
nah...
sniper punch is too good at killing to ever not run that perk
and in tougher matchups your only lifeline may be being able to punish poor neutral with a random sniper punch
the 5% is easier to execute since its a flat buff but if you want to improve you need to get better at hitting your sniper punches anyway
and if you are good at hitting your sniper punches you are gonna already be using the perk
Iv landed it at 90-100 at the ceiling and they lived
It sucks at killling
must be a bug or a glitch or smth because sniper punch kills
Why was Superman nerfed c
Winrate
?
Superman wasn’t broken at all
PFG deadass just looked at the winrate?
He was a balanced character ppl were good with wth
I have no clue blue
Up smash got nerfed to have less hitstun
and the down special hit box isnt getting fixed
He legit got nerfed in the crossfire because of winrate
Wait if the hitstun of the move is lower doesnt that reduce kill power?
Dumbest 💩
I’ve never seen a more incompetent dev team
Superman was nowhere near broken
Ye
Maybe the 1% of god tier superman players were doing too well
Superman wasn’t even winning a bunch a tournaments
Superman cheese only works
If you don't di
Or dodge
Jab into uptilt and ground slam are really
The only confirmed kills
And that move sometimes let people stray away
It's fine tho my ass going back to fortnite
Jab into down tilt isnt true btw, just DI up and you dont hit the ground
But getting hit by Jerry, Bug's forward air, and black Adam's air lightning automatically make you hit the floor
same for Garnet and Steven's neutral air
im not tripping over superman nerfs
because ill still play my boy 🤷♂️
besides black adam is right there if you want someone strong and combo heavy
Is the new Superman perk good?
Its the fact they didnt fix the broken stuff
The one they re added
Its for 2v2s
Lights teamates projectiles on fire
Outside of that it does nothing
Nah I feel this. I noticed that I can see laser on recordings but not during actual gameplay… and when the character is doing literally anything they’re just immune to the laser. Sliding? Immune. Finn charging? Immune. Performing a jab? Immune. Idk what is up with it
Their feet to have to be firmly planted on the ground for it to hit
It’s lowkey ridiculous. Why would sliding on the exploding ground not make you privy to getting hit by it
I just did my jab into up title and the guy survived pasted 120
This is so stupid
Hit him with sniper punch at 130 he lived
A dev must of got THRASHED by Superman bruh
This character keeps getting obliterated in patches and it's kinda silly
Superman was never s tier IMO. But they manage to keep gutting him 😭
Less hitstun on grounded up attack isn't very impactful but still stings that the devs even thought it needed to be nerfed
His side special kills at 50 just land that
Nah
Maybe superman in 2v2 was overperforming
Because in 1v1s its exactly the same but slightly worse
Whoever keeps nerfing him must not play the game In a semi comp level
But don't worry yall shaggy will at 80 instead of 60 now amen
It’s nakat
And all of the other useless Cans
Bro I dont care if they nerf him more just fix the stuff that doesnt work
Lazers are buggy and just bad in general
His side grab legit drops people
💀💀
I miss beta mvs
So bad
its hard to hit, its good if your opponent isnt approaching
since you can atleast attempt some sort of mixup and they have to respect it or else it can combo into his upair
which is a kill threat
They added this garbage Court 2 map as well its literally just Mojo jojo
is jason's own with the grab he has?
where he stabs you repeatedly
Winrate too high so he got a free nerf
Supes needs lasers fixed. Up throw off air grab back.(they can keep his downthrow spike.) And perks that innovate more of his kit
honestly lasers are so glitchy
you cant even use them on some maps at all
like scooby mansion
His up smash needs another nerf honestly
It should only kill past 140
grounded or air?
bellyflop sucks ass tbh
Both just to be safe
Cant have him KOing people off the top below 80 O SHT HALF THE ROSTER DOES THAT
give superman beta up smash
bro the air one literally cannot throw people upwards anymore
sniper punch nerfed. boooo
Not even 50% win rate and he was still nerfed for no reason
Literally a bug fix not a nerf lol
can someone tell superman consistent true combos and kill confirms
That's the funny thing
Uhm...combos? Superman doesn't have combos.
Which is why he's still not all that great.
With jab unstale, you can do jab 1,2,3 (wait for the 4th hit of rapid jab) -> dtilt -> dodge jab 1,2,3 (same thing) -> d tilt -> nair -> sair
Nair -> sair itself will often just outright kill off stage
Near a wall, you can also chain nair into itself several times
Dair will also combo into nair at low to mid percents if you get the stage spike
Laser can combo into any aerial provided the move actually hits (it won’t 90% of the time because laser kinda sucks)
To all my superman players this is how you improve with superman
Take your combo and set ups
Unlock black adam
And just main black adam
No they just did this stupid thing to where they significantly decrease his throw range if he grabs someone from right on the ledge. Its a new mechanic that makes zero sense.
So if thats the case. Why not bring back the ability to throw people in up and down direction?
Because they don't know bruh
Isn't this true?
but black adam doesnt have his survivability or his ice breath or sniper punch or his grabs
so HELL NAH
It isnt a true combo if they DI up. Trust me I know
Literally a knowledge check
or maybe im doing it wrong
It should be true, but you have to cancel the 4th rapid jab and your jab has to be fresh
Unless if this is a specific confirm where you need 5%, snowball, and pugilist
I grabed a guy with up special at 90 at the edge and he actually died
Lords above answerd my prayers
What are superman's best perks
Snowball, last stand, pugilist
Either use 5% or sniper punch
I prefer 5% because I don’t use sniper punch much since it’s reactable
Sniper Punch's kill power is borked
I have landed that on 90% enemies at double jump height and they have lived
Wack
No I mean its kill power is terrible on high % targets
Its working off of beta superman stats or something
but people at disgustingly high % survive it often
tbh it was kinda broken, i would up special in the ledge then just dash nair and 90% of the time they'll get ko'ed in 2 moves
More over if I was over 100 damage and had last stand perk
But it was fun i enjoyed it, it shouldnt have been nerfed this hard
Now after you up special in the ledge you cannot follow up any combo unless the person is at 90+ damage
Maybe its for the best that they've lowered the kill potential of straight up 0 to death from just a ledge grab to nair combo
Also I noticed if you do groundair attack then follow up with air up attack, you can hear the sound of the up attack hit, but they actually dont get hit
So they nerfed the ground air attack + jump to up air attack ko move
Kinda lame
Superman really was screwed over
When a company has one collective brain cell
They just looked at his win rate and nerfed him
Superman was one of the few character in this game that wasn’t broken
I mean in Beta he was absolutely insane, but that doesn't mean they had to take literally everything away
Lazer needs to be fixed
This character still having bugs
After 2 patches is insane
Play better, his tools aren't particularly overtuned
Dont dodge into full charge up smash
if he lasers you from the top of the screen micro jump
yea ngl i keep making that mistake
And that is why he got nerfed
the input buffer is so damn slow so by the time i notice what i didd its too late
lol
Might as well drop superman for morty at this point
Feels easier to get kills with him
Superman is literally top 3 what are y'all yapping about
Nice bait
MVScord regulars on their way to spawn in and ruin my fun
Superman was prolly the most balanced character they ain’t have to do him like dis
play neutral
superman is great at killing and is hard to kill himself
but its not hard to abuse his weak neutral especially if you keep applying pressure / whiff punishing
Great at killing?!
sniper punch, side air, air side special
along with his combos
yeah he doesnt have a hard time killing
🧢
i just gave you tools of his that are good at killing either through damage or just carrying them offstage 😭
Only inhuman homunculi get hit by side special. Sniper Punch's kill power is so terrible its beyond comprehension. And Side air only kills if their literally inside the blast zone already
By playing a faster character
does thats flammable work on ice breath xd?
Someone has never landed air side at a high percent, I guess.
Leap also kills well.
any supes wanna mirror
This game sucks
This character literally loses to every single top tier character
Gets erfed anyway
Skill issue
Half of my kit doesnt work
The half that does is pretty good though
Superman is a mid tier fighter, sadly that means you can’t play on autopilot like with Joker and WW
Im so glad I didnt spend bread on this game
They got me with the first battle pass I admit
But 10 bones is a good spot to quit while behind lol
They will get my money if they make a red son skin
maybe a tad more difficult considering the communism stuff, but it'd be sick
skill issue
if you can beat the worst player of a top tier character then its not the character
if you really want the edge that bad just play a top tier character yourself
I think im beyond caring about whether its skill or not
This game's balance is just awful
Im playing better sht
The literal play is to just use Joker actually. Until that dude gets nerfed just transfer the solid neutral you got from playing Superman onto him
I'm sorry but skill issue or not
This character has obvious bugs
Grab doesn't work sometimes
Lazer is broken
Bad neutral state
Stubby hit boxes
Good killer power and weight (if you can get a hit first)
Meanwhile joker has been nerfed and yet still is the best character in the game?
i just enjoy playing supes 😭
and i put in the work to get good enough to figure out how to win with him
fun game, W
🙏
i honestly just enjoy killing ppl int eh dumbestw ays
yeah same
Where do you think Superman is on the tier list?
Somewhere in the high middle.
Bottom A
Not anymore! Ladies and gentlemen they nerfed him! Again!
Woohoo!!!
The play is to use Joker literally
REAL
What character
Because if you dont have a solid armor break like WWs nair or Batmans dtilt, just run the 2fast2block perk
Neutralizes armor
His nair is pretty strong but dodge down or up rather than left and right because its multi hit so you cant actually dodge it on dodge in
With his sniper punch, definitely either dodge or jab when he uses it
Dodge is safer
You dont wanna get hit by it it kills everyone at 2% unless they changed that idk I dont read patch notes I just avoid getting hit by it
Superman is very good but people don't know how to press dodge while playing him, fr
Dodge an up air into another up air because his frame data is dog
play neutral
unless they are really good you should be able to comfortably win off just that
wassup fellas
gb
having fun playing Superman?
game bad
real
6 weeks in with broken lasers still and then with the last update air up special also broke... and they say they fixed his air side special, but it still gets stuck on walls and platforms.. W game really
W fighter with 4 broken moves 🔥
Play Joker or Morty
Skill issue
This guy is a plague in these chats
Quick question whats the way out of supermans sair into sair into sair?
Dodge in or DI down/away and pray
Sair shouldnt true combo into sair
It's not Bugs nair
I thought di down got me away but i think if he guesses it catches right?
Its sair instant air dodge into sair
Depends on the spacing a lot of the time tbh
Cuz if they're below you when hitting it, DI down just puts you right into the next sair, but DI up would put you out of range
Golly you want me to fight?
Superman's underrated as hell fr
Superman is so far from underrated
If anything, he's overrated
99% of players call him broken
Nah, people put him before agent smith or steven
He's clearly is way better
Infinite ice makes him basically have free neutral on advantage
Better than smith?
Smith can loop half the cast and deal a billion damage and with hand cannon he can kill at like 60%
He's despicable
He's way worse than superman against top characters IMO
Superman just shuts down any slow characters
So it's a little polarizing
Even then there's enough counterplay
Yeah playing Jason against Supes felt unwinnable
Like superman is even against morty as an example
Especially when he just started abusing loops
Ok bub
The best superman said that so, don't believe me but try to talk with uzi about that
Link me whatever alternate dimension MVS you're playing
Nvm, I was a little bit wrong
But anthos (probably second best player of the game rn) says that morty is even
''Ice in neutral. Morty is light. He can hold Morty in disadvantage decently. Dirt up air isn’t really a problem bc Superman is very aerial n if he isn’t getting hit by that lives a long time. Lasers forces air game''
-Anthos
I don't know man, if someone likes him with 11k wins on superman say it maybe it's true lol
It still is the wall that is Morty
At most Superman just gets an early kill, which means he's not suffering him as long
Anthos is actually unreliable and really bad, actually
Don't be rude
With an early kill you basically become a wall too, the only thing morty can use to approach superman ice breath is sair and they nerfed the hitbox of that thing
It's a snowball matchup tbh, the first getting a kill probably wins
No
People don't realize how broken is infinite ice breath, there's a reason why they nerfed that on beta
You ice breath and you eat Dirt
Yes, it negates Morty just spamming out neutral attack and Nade zoning
But that's a quarter of his kit
Nade is probably the second most unfair thing of morty so, imagine you get rid of that, you basically only have one thing to worry about and it's dirt
Nade's only really unfair mid-combo
Or in very quick edgeguard situations
Morty doesn't really want to just throw raw nades, because nades from neutral special suck so bad
without cause might I add
I mean he's definitely strong
Oh yeah I didn't mean that I just meant that there's not much I'd say is really broken about him
He does have a loop, those are always evil
That's true
I can definitely see why people say he's broken now
All he has to do is land up b off stage and he gets a free kill
up b doesnt even work as intended rn
it doesn't throw people anywhere sometimes
I've never seen it not work 🤷♂️
well you must have gotten very lucky
it's a pretty well documented issue
unlucky*
I don't play Superman
I hate cheesy characters
oh well that makes sense
well of course you've never seen it not work because you don't play him 💀
I've played against a lot in 2s
Wow they didn't fix the bug in a week when they have a million other things to fix because this game is still in beta
Terrible devs
Worse still the original bug report went unanswered and it had more votes
The devs hate us😭
The devs actually hate dealing with bugs
I posted a bug report about Joker which just vanished 2 days later
Maybe Jokers spade card is meant to just throw one so you can predict the Joker card coming out with 2 additional smaller cards
They want the game dead
Sad too because I see so much potential
Nah bro anthos is playing superman again and is having good results
I knew sups was underrated all along but people call me crazy and says that he is bad cuz he's big (Like iron giant is bad bcuz of that lol)
I think I'm going to start playing it, it seems fun to make the others approach while giving them ice debuff for free
He's still overrated
People call him busted but that's just not it, he's overtuned for sure but not busted
Also Anthos is just a really good player lmao
If a player as good as Anthos has good results, it probably has something to do with him just idk... being really good at the game?
Nah, I don't think he is overrated, as I said before he has good matchups against some of the top tiers, still wonder woman and joker are a problem but sooner or later they are getting nerfed
I actually agree with this but isn't weird that he said that superman wasn't good on release so he switched to ww
And then he's back to superman?
Like wonder woman isn't that bad to switch
I think he knows something
He was being a baby about Superman not teleporting across the map I think
Need a bizarro Superman skin asap
that's so real
like honestly Bizarro is more deserving of a skin than Black Lantern Supes
Morty dirt so annoying
Play Joker
That's some real advice 💀💀💀
Im not kidding
Play Joker if you want to not deal with zoners
or characters with spammy moves with low recovery
You know you can stay in the air with infinite ice breath and they can't hit you? while you give them the ice debuff and approach
It is
Joker has several free win buttons
Bruh Jack might have a better command grab than Superman
maybe
Yeah you guys should not be asking for buffs with an infinite lmao
Character carried 🥱
This character is mid
Are you playing against someone who is destroying you with Superman?
Who is giving you the opinion that hes good lol
He is a good character lmao
Up b is bugged which means half his kit is broken fr
I'm rage baiting because his up b is bugged and the rest of his kit works fine?
Okay bud
Clown
You guys are just like Batman mains lmao
Someone just lost to a good player using Superman
Superman needs buffs
Infinite is unbalanced and beating a Garnet with an infinite shouldn't be a challenge
What infinite
Jab > jab > dtilt
DI out doesn't even save Garnet
Garnet needs buffs
What infinite? It’s the same as other loops , it does about 30 dmg 🤣
60+ lmao
Yeah but idk how they can fix it tbh
A lot of this game is just crappy and bad now
Unfixable
Superman nerfs again smh
HE GOT NERFED AGAIN LOL
Bro
Why are they touching Superman again
PFG don’t know how to balance a thing
Im pretty sure the devs hate superman.
It's like all the toons (plus joker) have a bunch of range and multiple attacks. Crazy hitboxes, and they can use their range stuff with no cooldown. But superman gets destroy on his moves again
For sure
I switched to Black adam
Time to buy samurai Jack

Even if the nerfs don't matter that much they could at least fix his lasers and other bug idk
Joker can throw his cards a bunch of times per minutes. But superman, the only range thing he has, has a massive cooldown.
And it didn't even work properly
Krill Issue
if you say so
Superman is best character in the game
Clearly
If you don't think so its Skrill issue
Am I tweakin or did this nerf to Superman's neutral air kinda cook him
This is a bit crazy brah 😭
The devs hate us
I'm convinced
Bro Superman was honest asf he doesn't even have anything crazy really, I really think he was fine where he was. This nerf to neutral air sucked a lot of fun out of the character for me
I'm still putting in work but damn
He has some disgusting conversions that lead into kills off the side with neutral air into side air
That's about it
Everything else he does is either nerfed or doesn't work
Yeah that was literally his only real "Gimmick" which you had to work for if your opponent understood the character in the slightest
I liked feeling fast with the neutral air too, it was really fun to use. Imma keep playing the character since I just love Superman, but I feel like this nerf was a bit unfair to my man
Some goofy nerfed his up tilt because they thought up tilt into up air was a true combo
It’s yapping Nakat
You see how fast they buffed WW
He needs to be fired
It was a DI read to set it up so it shouldn't even lead to more than one, maybe two ringouts per game
Trying out Supes here, any advice for a former Garnet/Stripe?
Play Joker instead
Play someone else
why not? i've been looking for a new main to find my playstyle and i like combo-grapplers and set-up fighters so
(And I've been doing absolutely everything to avoid becoming a Black Adam main bc I feel cursed to inevitably learn him)
if i had to explain superman in like a few words:
great advantage state, awful neutral and relies on armor, reads, and nair/sair off stage 😭 (those got nerfed in 2.0 patches)
superman feels fast
agreed
might be different after his nair/sair nerfs though
as they dont carry as much momentum iirc
The armor superman has can be easily counterplayed
Especially if you have a character with a dash attack as a kill move like Batman or Finn
Hes not a slow moving armored tank like in the beta
You die at 100 to everything, he has low kill power, and relies on hard reads and gimmicks to win
But the few gimmicks he can get away with and his up tilt stop him from being bottom tier
His kill power is easily the worst part of him now
Didn't even give him a trade with the neutral air nerf
If it helps with finding direction (and if there's any platform fighter players) I used to play Incin in Smash and currently use Orcane in Rivals of Aether. Used Donnie in the few times I got my hands on NASB2. I like his advantage state but neutral can be rly hard for me on him, esp since he relies on armor that can easily be circumvented if both just charge in in 2s
I'm glad I can ask players like you so I can figure out where I wanna go with this game and experiment
Honestly the only advice I can really give you is do his jab jab into down tilt combo as much as you can since it's like his best thing now, and also do up B off stage/as an edge guard because it's really funny @ebon shadow
Freeze breath works as an edge guard sometimes too, depends on how scared your opponent is
👍 i always knew the funny grab worked
ohhh
up-b still funny either way
while i don't see supes might be my type he does still seem fun
Im crying
As soon nakat was put on the dev team balancing got way worsw
Ngl I think this is a dum char.
Why can't I punish any of his dodges cus his ground attacks instantly start up after?
wait for the attack to whiff and hit him then
Superman can dodge like 2 times before his dodge meter is cooked bro literally just wait for him to miss or make him dodge
If he misses his armoured attacks you get a free combo and they cant kill you anyway unless youre past 120
You can also put on break armour on dash attack perk and his ground game is cooked 100% depending on the character youre playing
Bashing your head against his armoured attacks is exactly what NOT to do
but what the devs think EVERYONE does
and it makes Superman OP from their POV
Yeah this nerf to his neutral air is pretty bad
Like wtf Im just not allowed to pressure people with this move anymore?
Who did this
Meanwhile I can still knowledge check people by looping them with 4 down tilts in a row?
Who ACTUALLY balanced this character? Can I get a name lol
YO THIS IS AWFU LOL
THEY NEED TO ROLL BACK THIS NERF ASAP
DID ANYONE PLAY THIS CHARACTER BEFORE PUSHING THIS LOL
Neutral air into side air is BARELY a true combo anymore
Youre just using move and none of them combo into each other lol
Superman neutral air nerf forces all Superman mains to start reading 800 page novels with the way you have to just rely on reads now
His beams and up special are still BUGGED
his neutral smash has horrible kill power
His laser still being bugged is actually INSANE LOLLLL that's like the ONE pressure move he has at this point 😭
I need to know what im missing that makes this character god tier broken enough to get 3-4 straight nerfs
Morty's dirt still doesnt have a cooldown
and they just REMOVED WW's lasso cooldown
Who is balancing this game
Original Superman was really good at stomping newer players since they didn't really know the character well, and I think the devs assumed the new players would stay bad forever, so they decided to nerf him into the ground
I think original Superman was fine, I really don't understand these nerfs
Im assuming theres a lone Superman player terrorizing high elo players and thats how the nerfs are justified
This is wild man
LOL
Stupid ass Nakat
That was probably me
I'm sad now
Supes feels bad to play
I woulda preferred if they nerfed the jab jab down tilt combo
not the aerial attacks
wtf
why did wonderwoman's cooldown get removed again
I already told u
Nakat
He’s brain dead
what?
what does this mean?
Nakat was the original EVO champion
He mained WW
He was a made a community manager
whats that gotta do with supes
You litertally asked why ww's got her cd removed
Why are you insulting him tho
Brah getting cooked for not instantly pulling into the conspiracy theory 😭
Of course I can but theres nothing around to indicate bro intentionally got wonder's cooldown back
Unless you can show me
Otherwise keep your headcanon my good sir
He said "You either with us, or against us 😈" When he insulted you 😭
I'm a batman main too myself, sad to see both supes and bats get the hammer with this patch
Damn lasers are still bugged

Grab at ledge is still bugged too

Landed my up special on a guy at 50 and it didnt combo into the second hit
if it doesnt combo into second hit it can usually combo into up air or down air
i'd say side air or neutral air but we know what happened to them 
I have to burn half my dodge meter to land a single hit that doesnt kill because my kill move doesnt work properly?
No wonder they gave him a regeneration suit, bro got killed in the new patch
mans need to get his powers back
@hollow grove Wait bro I'm literally playing against you I think LOL I was the Samurai Jack
I have no idea what kills with this dude so I was throwing out anything 😭
Superman is complete trash
and we have to wait another 30 days to see if they will fix it
This isnt worth my time
I kinda got used to the new way he plays at this point, but it's still horrible
Why is his laser so bad? Inconsistent. Sometimes is doesn’t pop up and people can walk through, it doing only 1 damage in that case and not inducing ignite.
Because back in the beta it had no cooldown and was used to stall games
and they refuse to change it
Aaaaaaannnnnddd Superman is nerfed to hell again.
Sucks so much ass, he's supposed to be a tank
A tank that dies at 100 to most of the roster
Fun right?
Yeah, super fun
His aerial game is so neutered I hate it
The one good thing about this character
And they botch it
Like I know people will say "lol armor" but honestly that's only noobs
Marvel rivals save me
Superman already gets smacked by most of the quicker characters
and then they do this bs.
Oh well, guess I better focus on Wonder Woman and Bugs for now
Probably so yeah
superman dies at 150 ?
strong character
really strong
What are you smoking
There are endless moves that will smoke you the second youre past 110
He is not a heavy character
Take his jab infinite away bring back is directional up throw
Ikr? Still weaker than shaggy 💀
Sooooo who's everyones new mains :)
I’m bouncing around characters till PPG
I think I might up and become a Bugs main
I realize the path my playstyle has taken me onto got me into setplay characters and I'm actively trying to avoid becoming a Black Adam main
not because I hate him as a fighter, nah his moveset gels for me quite a bit
he's just a weird time capsule to me and I don't wanna be lumped in with tryhards on him
I'm sticking with Smith because he still has a lot of unexplored combo potential imo
And I like gun
Yh my ranked has been half finns half mortys
Horrid
Haven’t seen a single Morty yet. Lots of Jacks and Finn’s.
I saw nothing but morty for like, an hour or 2 before hopping off
Idk which matchup id rather suffer through 😭
Yeah tbf id prolly just prefer wiping with 100 grit sandpaper
I think the very sentiment of morty being able to weasel around superman forever gives too many shades of sonic and my blood probably boils hotter against one
I just want that regeneration suit Superman so I can flex 😭
Superman’s laser is so useless. Why isn’t this addressed?
Why can people just walk through it sometimes and not get popped up? What’s the condition for it?
(as in "i'd main him but he feels too dated for me to enjoy as a character and i'd gladly learn him if i got gleamium to change to his comic skin")
(he'll do until Static drops)
(or Beetlejuice. if he's any fun tbh i'd just drop Adam for B.J.)
He was broken in the beta and they are afraid to change anything on him
Yeah that move doesn’t make sense to me
They should've made a variant of that move that can actually laser people.
How can we tell the devs that Superman’s kit doesn’t work?
It NEVER did. Especially his laser. His only consistent special is his side air special. His air up special is so slow on start up and low in range, you have to make a hard read to land it most times. His ice breath is virtually useless in 1v1. His laser doesn’t so what it say it should 60% of the time. His ground up special doesn’t connect the 2nd hit at high percentage. Honestly, who’s in the room when balancing Superman?
And they nerfed his air momentum on his best normals. I used to be able to at least apply pressure at the cost of meter, but now I can’t do that. I’ll take that if they fix his specials.
What do we think of the Jack matchup?
I personally think it's a matchup that's slightly favorable for Superman.
Moreso due to how much armor counters Jack. (without Focus)
fixing his specials wont fix his issues with faster opponents just camping him :/
Youre absolutely right thought ice breath is so underwhelming, and his lasers are absolutely broken
I think supermans normals are too stubby and disjoints too strong against him for us to have a good matchup against jack
His normals are fine because of the armor. I think the only way to fix him is to fix his specials.
Neutral smash has no kill power
I dont think armor is enough compensation if you can be whiff punished as easily as superman can
promoting a play style of relying on armour is just going to make him a noob stomper with no way to actually chase down and fight the slipperier/floatier characters
I dont have any faith in the devs to actually recognise and fix whats wrong with superman tbh, given that they nerfed in the first place
They need to buff it
the fact that Im supposed to get through so many characters neutral tools with 2 fast dashes maximum is just absolutely braindead
What im thinking is they are using data against low skill players. People dodge into up tilt so they nerfed it. People dont dodge his up tilt into up air and die so they nerf that too
Up tilt into up air was NEVER a true combo btw
yep, balance by numbers, no thought given to the actual gameplay loops and interactions theyre promoting
Special shoutouts to air up b sometimes just not launching properly and making me minus, right next to the other guy 💀
His damage output is lacking too. Superman is feeling like he’s low tier
His damage is good on anyone that doesnt exist solely on an atomic scale
Anyone that isnt a mindless homunculi
Cus at some point you get jab 1 dair
Otherwise youre playing raw RPS for damage
And your rock is frail and will turn to dust on contact with scissors
If you grab someone off stage and youre at the ledge, there are like 3 different bugs that can happen
and with the new patch everyone dies faster so hes not tanky
Im not a tank if harley and bugs up air kills me at 110
Yeah ive died at like 90 to morty
Morty's up air kills at 110
And its like it doesnt apply to superman as well
His up tilt kills at 120 so thats something
Outside of a good situation on a ledge wall i am not doing owt
but iv seen people survive his specials at disgusting damages
I’ve died at 88 before pre hit
Tbf up b up air always killed at like silly percent
Dirt weaken just makes uair kill so early
But ion wanna have to work everyone with up b more than i already did
Have one of the devs actually play the damn game instead of reading twitter comments
The gutted Superman and now he feels like crap to play
Atp I’m just taking a break till powerpuff girls join the game
I just feel like they're going to buff something stupid if they do buff him.
They'll make the up b shockwave kill earlier or something stupid like that
really REALLY hate that they reduced his neutral air mommentum. Its a good option for going up close for an opening. Its like with each and every patch update they just make him suck more and more.
I wouldn't say necessarily his breath is useless it certainly has its uses against projectiles it's just a little cumbersome because of how slow it feels it comes out
You gotta charge it for 1000 years💀
True. It’s good for that and effective for edge guarded those beneath you.
No it has kill power, the problem is the knockback. its all over the place
And this is exactly what the devs see! The noobs who refuse to get better at the game and so complain about this noob stomper character
They need to be looking at these character threads
Do they?
He just feels very unfun now
Literally boils down to "you hit my armor now I'll punish"
Man used to have aerial sauce
Weird he's been gutted since beta. Even though he's never been SUPER good.
Like every patch there's a new nerf for em
You could gimmick people and kill them on the sides with the neutral and side air
So they gutted them both
they should've just made counterplay for it by buffing other characters
rather than gut it
you gotta rely on armor more now with supes but any player with a brain will use the armor breaking perks
Perks dont exist
wdym
They probably balance the game based off vibes and don't actually check any of this
well you can still do it
Off stage superman is not as good pre patch obviously , but I’ve had no struggle getting constant off stage kills with neutral and sair
Yeah thats cap
Superman is still good , just not as good as arya , Finn or joker
His worst matchups
Off topic but who else has the July 4th Superman skin?
Not me
Superman did not get gutted, slight aerial nerf and you guys act like you can’t kill people with it anymore🤣
Tbh all I want is for laser to laser people
His combos do not flow together like they used to
It's a pretty huge nerf
Bro is him bro
Feels like they took some momentum away from nair
I don’t main this character, but he was fun to mess around with
You drop like a brick after using it
And you do
It's so unsatisfying
I've killed off stage with Nair before after the update
A couple times
But not nearly as much just because it's a bit harder to even get them to that point
Because he doesn't have that flow anymore
I'd rather them nerf his armor or something like that then what they did
Dumb question, but does laser only have hitboxes on his eyes and the ground?
Both
So up close to him it does hit
The beam only applies burny damage
Gotchu
And on the floor it traces the ground to hit them
(results may vary on that last one)
Ground hitbox does seem inconsistent
they did
Yeah it doesn’t work at all on that map lmao
If it gets picked just know you can't use your heat vision to poke
And it's one of Supes' best poking tools
You do, that’s why you dash attack? And then you can off stage. Them from there, literally been doing it since the update, they should fix lasers and supes is decent
You mean air dodge?
Yh
Alright I'll try to explain what the fella means
Basically the fact they nerfed the aerial momentum on his attacks
Means to get the same results as before you'd have to wait a bit longer before you can actually throw out that Nair or that sair
Because the second you press that button you're plummeting
But it's also a catch 22 because if you take longer to press it
You can get punished
Hard
Should've just kept it as before.
Yeh it’s harder to pull off, but you shouldn’t have trouble off staging people
The hell made them remove the mommentum anyway?
Especially with constant air dodges
The thing that really makes me angry is the fact that every Superman main I know complained about his aerial up special not working
Several times it was reported on the bug site
Fix lasers aswell smh
One of the big ones actually expired without getting noticed
And they didn't absolutely nothing
Goes through these players smh
But they bug fix BLACK ADAM
🤣🤣
AND MAKE HIS COMBOS FLOW BETTER
I was gonna buy the battle pass but I don't wanna support the devs financially if this is how they operate
It's just sad
What about it doesnt work by the way? I've seen a lot complained about it but I wonder if its the same problem I have
sometimes it doesnt launch them
and they get launched right next to you
is that it?
or is there something else?
That's correct
And I just got my ass kicked by a very cocky, teabagging ass Black Adam before the patch.
now I gotta force to adapt to changes
They are the most toxic players
Every single time
But the thing is I want to know which game these devs are playing
I don't know ONE person who thinks Superman is better than Adam
I assume they’re catering to the low level players
Not one
Bc Superman’s armor makes him kind of a noob stomper
I've said this before I'd rather them nerf that
Then what they did
Reduce the armor frames or something idk
But to do this to his aerial game is just pathetic
I'd have preferred losing the jab jab to down tilt
loop
then the aerial shmooviness
since his whole thing is being the character with aerial superiority
its usually 50/50 for me when I go against finns
what are you having trouble with
Being off-stage.
Up tilt, dash attack, jab, everything seems to catch me.
Even when i try to side special something always just seems to hit me.
Finn is just very annoying in general ngl
Nah, I’m going to need a dev to explain Superman to me. The math ain’t mathing.
#115, 3,805 wins, 11,535 ring outs and none of this makes sense to me.
I committed my life to Superman. I want an explanation.
No, I’m talking about his broken kit. My point is that I play a lot of Superman and that ain’t helping me. lol
I think they just hate competitive players. or at least competitive superman players, every character has faster moves with better hitboxes its cooked
the devs have their faves and superman is not one of them
yep, i gathered that much
The only Superman nerf i agree with was the sniper punch. Man the unpatched perk could kill you under 50%
Try go for lasers a lot, also WW usually are offensive so try and punish their whiffs
With dash attacks etc
Isn't laser like, notoriously broken and unusable 80% of the time?
Dash attack though, yes i need to use it more often.
Doesn’t work sometimes yeh correct , but it’s still useful and works well most of the time tbh
If ur using superman without laser, u are nerfing urself
I mostly use laser as a tool to deter people from up-tilting when i'm falling.
I sometimes hit laser into up air at higher percents.
Yeh I find grab easier but yh
Watch g3 twitch when he streams, he’s a very good supe
I learnt from him
He's #1 on the 1v1 leaderboards rn, yeah?
#108 last time I checked. Go to your character page.
Laser still forces a reaction that you can punish. Even though it doesn’t work 100% of the time, no one is just going to sit there.
I'm sure they most anti-armor much as joker and bugs
Are people plugging in rank? Twice in a row I lost because they get the connection symbol and I walked off the map to my death multiple times. They were fine and I lost.
Air laser
I havent had anything like that but ive defo had a few pluggers
Hes had them since launch lol
Does it only work if you catch people airborne with jab 1?
on average/tall characters yeah
Smaller fellas are sometimes a bit awkward depending on how high you catch them
Damn, today I learned, I'd been sneaking a jab1 -> dair into jab jab dtilt loops but I'm gonna give the dair loops a whirl
I think its definitely more valuable now that you cant just princess carry people to a blastzone anymore
What the hell happened to the net code?
A lot more game freezes today
Got a ranked penalty smh can’t play
Catching stray matchmaking penalties off nothing is genuinely tragic
So you've experienced them more this update too?
It's so aggravating
Like we're being punished for this game's bad online
Only since this update lol
Was not helping my superman climb in the slightest
Oh see you're better than me
I refused to touch Ranked in this condition
Walking off ledges and game freezing will do that to a mf
I havent had that affect me too bad
That's good
And honestly like if yer gonna climb with superman good luck, i couldnt do it as he is
Or like even if he didnt get shot this patch, its all his worst matchups
That's absolutely dreadful
This game got me going through all the other Superman games because this ain't it😭
This musta been what them DK players felt all those years back 😭
I think it is😭
Stinkerman
overall I think that's probably the worst part of all this
rarely do I lose over the new nerfs
he just feels significantly less fun
Superman can still compete , just when you go against Arya or Finn you will see he is not on there level🤣
U can still get high rank with supes if u play him right
I've been getting better at fighting Jacks. Most of them are very predictable.
Although there are 2 matchups i am TERRIBLE at.
Joker and WW. Jesus.
Yeah and you can make hot sauce with plastic gloves literally why would anyone reasonably deal with this 😭
Just I just made it to Gold 4, but it’s grindy as hell
I legit had to change the way I play.
I mean I’m #5 superman (well I was before I logged off) and diamond 2, only struggle against Arya , finn, joker and sometimes Batman
So basically the top tier 1v1 charas
