There's also db2~MB in the corner (which sets up an almost inescapable command grab on their wakeup) and dbMB bounce cancel off either b11 or 113 which you can follow with j2 123 XX db1 or j2 22 XX dbf3.

I can't get the bounce-cancel working online, so I forgot about it. Thank you for these additions.

I had the chance to play a good number of Batgirl matches online last night against NotAntagonist and tayhova. She's quite a lot of fun and I think she's really good even without that infinite she had for a day. Any combo that lets her go into d2 XX Bola, j2, 111 leads into a free 50/50 (they were able to backdash out a couple times but I think that was my bad timing or online messing with my timing to blame). Harassing from range with db1 (which is high) and Bola (which is mid but slow) until they make a mistake and either eat a Bola or let you hit a dd3~MB seems to be viable in a lot of matchups, too.

Because of this, I've started deliberately saving meter and using his super more - working it into combos and with the L3 Venom and it's pretty gross.

Landing Bane's Super at level 3 is the most glorious feeling in the world. It helps that he looks way scary when doing it. It's not THAT powerful but holy crap can it make a difference.

Well this is cool. Bane's new dash lets him follow up 113 with dash into another string (although maybe only on large characters): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Tr6YE9irtQ

I'm gonna play with this and see if I find any other combos that are now possible with his new and improved dash.

Try it on different characters, since I know they have different juggle properties and larger characters tend to stay up in the air longer.

Another Batgirl thing, I'm starting to wonder if being in Electrified Knuckles most of the time would be overall worthwhile compared to Punch Blades. You lose anywhere between 1%-3% on your combos, but all her punches gain a flat 0.60 or so increase to chip damage (e.g. 111 goes from .07, .07, .16 to .67, .67, .77). It doesn't do anything to any of her specials, though.

The main problem I see with this, though, is that while most of her strings are safe on block, most of them are still minus, so keeping sustained pressure and scoring a bunch of chip off normals might not work unless they're just too scared of b1/b2 mixup or random df2/dd3 to try and poke out.

Here's the punch normals/strings that the game says Batgirl is at advantage or even after, for reference:

1 (+0)
b3 (+8)
f3 (+5)
d1 (+0)
11u23 (+1, last hit is a high kick though)
113 (+5, but the last hit is a kick and there's a gap that's probably punishable)
12b2 (+1)
21 (+2)
b21 (+3, first hit is actually an elbow so unaffected by Electrified Knuckles)

I also noticed that MB Batarang does pretty solid chip (1.75 for the first Batarang and 1.5 for each of the three followups), so something like 111 XX db1~MB does .67 + .67 + .77 + 1.75 + (1.5 x 2 because one of the followup Batarangs misses) = 6.86% in chip for one bar, which might be useful for closing out a match.

Edit: Tested on Lex, his Corp Charge cannot interrupt the Batarang (he actually eats it if he tries), and also he eats the third MB Batarang, so that'd be 8.36% chip. His Corp Charge also doesn't punish the Batarang~MB due to the pushback.

Edit 2: I forgot that Batarang is a high projectile, but amusingly enough if Lex tries to Corps Charge from crouch he still eats it. Characters can crouch jab to interrupt after the string and before the MB Batarangs are thrown.

I wanted to take a moment to talk to y'all about clashes, because every time we play we all do dumb poo poo with it.

Here are the basics for what you get (both healing and damage) for each bar more that you wager than your opponent does.

1: 15% (15%/bar)
2: 25% (12.5%/bar)
3: 30% (10%/bar)
4: 33% (8.25%/bar)

So obviously we have diminishing returns for every extra bar you win by, but that's only if your opponent doesn't wager himself.

Let's look at if our opponent wagers 1 bar...

1: 0% (clash tied)
2: 15% (7.5%/bar)
3: 25% (8.33%/bar)
4: 30% (7.5%/bar)

And for 2 bars?

1 or 2: -15% to 0% (clash tied)
3: 15% (5%/bar)
4: 25% (6.25%/bar)

And if they wager 3?

1,2,3: -25% to 0% (clash tied)
4: 15% (3.75%/bar)

So what this quick breakdown tells us is that you usually want to try to win the clash by 2 bars (for a 25% win) as this is the most cost-efficient result. On the same hand, you never want to lose by 2 bars: You'd be giving your opponent the most bang for his buck!

Now, when a clash happens you don't have a huge amount of time to take in all the information on the screen (your/their health remaining, meter count, time, etc), so usually our knee-jerk reaction is to just wager everything. It's safe, but it can cost you coming out of it, so don't do that!

For me, my main rule of thumb is to always try to have a bar of meter remaining when you come out of a clash, especially if you're going to lose the clash: your opponent comes out with a slight frame advantage, and being able to MB a reversal is very important for most characters. Also, when low on health and about to lose out on the clash, consider just taking all the damage against characters who don't have a strong ranged attack. You'll come out of the clash with a single hit left, but you'll have a bunch of meter to burn on them.

Sinestro has more to fear than usual from Clashes, because for whatever reason his trait disappears during Clash if it was charged up. It also disappears from throw techs and supers. Of course, now it actually charges up fast enough that a Sinestro will reasonably be getting it at least 2-3 times a match, but it still sucks to see that happen.

I don't know about throw techs but it most certainly goes away after supers, clashes and stage transitions initiated by yourself or the opponent.

Edit:
Sinestros trait will lose all three bars
- After a stage transition
- After you or your opponent connect a super move
- After you or your opponent use a wager

I know I've played against you before (Flash player in goon room) and I found this strange every time I saw you, but... man, you really need to start using your meter, even if it's just to squeeze out some extra damage out of your charges/command grabs. I thought you were saving it for some level 3's but it doesn't look like it judging from this video. :psyduck:

Just played a bunch of sets against my buddy who uses Nightwing.

Nightwing is a ridiculously good character. Getting out of his pressure game is stupid hard unless your blow meter on pushblock. Our matches had tangible lag (gently caress PLAYING FLASH IN LAG) and its probably a lot easier offline but I can still see it being annoying.

He also has great wake up moves which can make it hard to apply pressure.

Does anyone know what the space for cancelling strings into Cyborg's grapple is? There's a couple strings that it feels like it'd be fun to throw at the end of to catch people by surprise and jetting myself back in the middle of a string or after a quick 2 or 3 seems like it'd be fun, but some stuff like 113 seems to be pretty hard to get it to work on.

It actually seems to come out more if I do down, back, upback instead of just down, upback. Still can't roll from down to upback to get it to come out, but it's odd that it's more reliable if I input it the wrong way.


A far less useful thing I found goofing around in practice is that if you hit Batgirl with a crossup into a high, her cape clips straight through her stomach. :v:
