Deathstroke Spammers

Yes and no; it depends what he does and at what range. Mid/close range he has a lot of stupid disjoints which are also safe, and full screen only a few characters can punish his projectiles. Yes, full screen psycho crusher can punish whiffed rock (Rock is actually not punishable full screen on block. Not even sure it’s punishable at close range on block, but it does have a punishable startup) and blocked shackles, but it will NOT punish bullet, which is what you use in that matchup unless you see Shazam pick up a bolt.

Oddly enough, he seems to successfully zone a lot of the characters other zoners have trouble with (Like Doomsday and hawkgirl), as well as a whole lot of the game’s other zoners, yet has a lot of trouble against certain matchups like Killer Frost and Batman. Actually slides in general give him a lot of trouble.

His wakeup options do suck though.

DSP and Ghost think Deathstroke are bad then a competent Cyborg will make them break the game disc.

Even a bad Cyborg is harder to get around than a decent deathstroke.

That just makes it effective cheese.

Deathstroke isn’t cheesy. For some characters, zoners seem like they’d be hell (Grundy, Bane), but as others have said, Ares should be up in there like a hemmerhoid. Certainly others can do the same. Just calm down and work on your play, that’s all you’ve gotta do. If you play on PSN, I’ll give you a go if I’m on.
