Question How do you deal with supernova spam?

[Chengler]

I've noticed a lot of doomsday online that do nothing but that. Sometimes meter burned, mostly not. Just spamm that. JUST THAT. Nothing else. Can't jump hit it...

 

[MorbidAltruism]

I just usually back dash. It seems to work.

 

[Pakman]

You can dash forward or back and it will miss you since it doesn't track. Dodge and punish that shit!

Doesn't work on meter burn, and you can pretty much meter burn on reaction to counter a back dash.

 

[prospic]

Just stay away from them and whenever they teleport, dash the opposite direction. As soon they hit the ground you can punish them with a combo.

 

[MashPotatoTower]

forward dash will always work. I was fighting a doomsday last night and it forced me to figure it out. you don't even have to time it that close, forward dash than punish, you usualy get a jump in.
back dash won't dodge the mb easily so make sure that whatever it is you decide to do, make it a forward dash. those are the dashes that go forward opposed to backwards
just tap Forward and than Forward again to dodge it with out harm. hhmmmhmmm them forward dashes. use em on doomsday I always say.

 

[MorbidAltruism]

Common consensus is dash your ass off.

 

[xInfra Deadx]

Dash forward, then punish.

Another thing is when you have meter, you can do a B3, then armor it up and it punishes.

You absolutely can avoid the meter burn version by dashing. I do it here in this video.

Just found out you can anti air grab it on take off. Might be an option.

 

[Komatose]

It's called dash for a full punish GGs.

Nuff said.

if you are playing green arrow the up arrow takes him out, I found that out last night.

 

[RWDY Nori]

Everything is spammable until it gets punched in the mouth when people figure out the gimmick. Gotta love Week 1 tactics

 

[zaf]

Punish regular one.

Watch his meter so that you know when he does the MB version. Dash out the way.
It takes practise, set the cpu to do this in the lab.

DO NOT use online as a test lab. You will fail. The timing online is slight different.

 

[cyke_out]

The normal supernova has a set distance it travels, if you are outside that distance, then you can assume he's using the MB version, they both have different falling speeds, so understand how fast you should be dashing based on how far away DD is.

 

[KillerOfBunnies]

b3 MP is terrifying to me. I've usually used it to get in close (cheese) or in response to distance attacks/item throwin'.

B3 +MB
you'll absorb DD as he comes down and you get a free wall bounce combo...

i've seen a green arrow player hitting him with jumping 3 while he's crashing down. wouldn't recomend that though as it seemed slightly lucky. I usually meter burn B3. safest thing to do.

From full-screen, you can always forward-dash and full-combo punish. If they're close enough for non-MB to hit, MB a b3. You'll eat the 9% damage, but you'll get whatever your max b3-launcher combo damage is.

 

[Datsumsharks]

Some characters can actually knock it out of the air. Aquamans d2 (or is it d3? The uppercut trident) slaps him down no problems.

Hawkgirl can do this too, but even then half the time it isn't worth it because of the timing.

 

[Tyram]

cyborg can do the vertical blast and hit him out of it.

strict timing though.

you can still dash forward at close range. just a bit harder.
