Excuse me sir but do i... know you?:p


BMs jump 2 50-50s are as ambiguous as Sinestro's. BM's zoning is tonnes better than BGs.

All of BGs wakeups are punishable.
Maybe after a MB Grapple reset. Maybe. But I think blocking crossups depends more on the player than the strength of a character.

Batgirl still has better options.

The struggle is real.
since wake ups are so dumb in injustice and batman doesn't have any makes him not even top 5 imo. And he has more than one 6-4 its possible flash and grundy could also be.

Batman doesn't have a b13 string. Standing 1 is high and is d1'd by any player with any kind of competency. J2 doesn't jail into anything. F2 is only +1 and doesn't lead to anything unless you spend trait or meter. It's good, but you notice that a lot of Batman mains don't use it. B2 is good. 113 is good, but has two opportunities for poking and has pushback on the last hit which makes foll0w-ups without trait difficult, but not impossible. Follow-ups after b3(+12) are limited unless it is blocked by a crouching opponent. Also, even when B3 is active, Batman can be d1'd out of it. Another way to explain this is this: You do a B3. Batman can be hit out of the move while it is happening by any d1/d2 with range. also, due to the block stun really can't be followed up on outside of trait, which is fine. The second hit of 22 is high, so you will rarely be using the advantage off of that. same for 1. 12 is +6 and is used often. As good as Batman's pressure is, even Forever King agrees that most of his pressure can be dealt with by crouch blocking and patience. I'm not saying it's bad, but it's not this godlike, unstoppable beast people make it out to be.

His strings are good if used properly, but there are holes that an intelligent player that is familiar with how the character works can exploit. He does require trait and meter to keep his pressure going, because many of his + strings can be poked out of any any patient, crouching opponent.

To review:

1(high, duckable)
1(high)1(gap)3.
2,2(high)
1(high)1,2(whiffs on crouching, low hitbox characters such as Zod, Catwoman, Wonder Woman, among others.)
B1(conditional gap dependent upon hitboxes and spacing)1, 3. If you attempt to use b113 from max range, the second hit can be d1'd by any crouching opponent.
Aha... aha...

Yes after MB grapple; you wanna tell me you can fuzzy guard that?

BG actually struggles in the BM MU believe it or not. She doesn't have trait to cover everything he does. BMs MU chart is better than BGs too just in general.

Oh, speaking of 1,2 and its +6 advantage.

Those two hits actually move Batman slightly further back when he started, meaning that unless you're using f2, b2, or b1, any other follow-up will whiff.

Where would you rather be. In the corner stuck in Babs Bola or being reset by Batman's MB grapple?

So if your point in posting this gif was showing that this doomsday has great blocks, patient, and punished batman when he messes up (all batman players are human, we are gonna mess up one combo eventually)...then you proved it lol also after the first b3 and when he went into b2 trait then jumped, doomsday could've used his AA grab or just pushblocked at one point just to create some space....just sayin lol

B2 by itself is also -9 I wanna say. He could have thrown out a d1, too.

In the corner stuck in MB grapple vs in the corner stuck in babs bola is a more fair comparison. In that case, if you guess BGs correctly, you're out. No more pressure. If you guess wrong against BM he still gets to apply pressure against you.

I was gonna respond to your original reply, but then I saw this, which makes me think that you're not really up for discussing this rationally as you ignore Rude's entire analysis. If you are though, let me know, and I'll explain to you in depth as to why Batman's zoning is mediocre and how his pressure fails to make him #1.

Ironically, this gif proves our point regarding Batman's pressure. King spent 4 bars on MB Batarang cancels, and how much damage did he get out of it? 10%.

And how many combo opportunities did he get? I've been using Batman lately and I have to say, you guys should really play other characters just to realize how good he really is. Also, I eat Rude for breakfast.

BUt compare the two outcomes if you don't block correctly. I would take Batman any day.

Long time ago, and you did.

Like to try again sometime?

Just because you've beaten me, and you did, doesn't mean I'm not right about my character. I've done my research. Since, according to you, Batman has a b13 string, you haven't.

I already said he's the best in the game
