So what am I getting into this time?
Glad you asked. Simply put this is a fighting game that has been created by the same guys that brought you Mortal Kombat bone breaker edition. It even has a companion comic series that serves as the game’s prequel.

Is this going to be anything like the other DC fighting game with Superman and Batman?
Oh. You mean Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. No, this game is better than that. Nether Realm studios is pretty good at making fighting games.

So what’s your plan then?
Easy enough. I plan to at least play through story mode. This is probably one of the few fighting games that I have played where I can make it all the way through. The story mode is one of the game’s strongest points. I don’t plan to 100% this because that isn’t possible for me but I do plan to show off what DLC this game has. Which just happens to be extra characters. The idea with them is to show off their various moves and then their super moves if possible. The DLC characters are not in the main game.

From there I plan to have at least a little fun with Online Multiplayer. If there is interest, I plan to schedule a time where a bunch of goons can get together and fight it out in game. Usually this will fall on a Saturday but I’ll post when beforehand the times. Mostly because I have to be able to make sure that Work won’t get in the way.

What’s going to happen if you have to go away for a while like last time?
Good Question. This time out I have a plan. Instead of just shutting the thread down like before I’m going to setup an AutoPilot LP. Basically I’ll already have another game ready to go that will release updates automatically and I’m going to have one of my friends post the video link in the thread in my stead. It won’t be of the main game but a different game which I hope will be short enough to be finished by the time I get back. I just don’t know what it is yet.

Spoiler Policy
Story wise if it hasn’t happened yet don’t talk about it.

Like the last game I would like to encourage Comic chat and show chat.

With that said. Let’s Start this thing.

As someone who is the worst at fighting games, I really enjoyed this campaign for not being too mean to me. Also I like the super moves that take 10+ seconds.

In honor of this thread, have a tangentially related image because it's the best thing I've seen all day.

Have you considered post-commentary? You seem to be having some issue balancing paying attention to the game and actually saying what you want to say about it.

Going to second the need for post-commentary. Also this might seem petty, but if you're going to look at the move list mid-fight could you edit that part out?

I mean, Hawkgirl!

I just discovered that this was on PS Plus a while ago so I actually have this game. And, uh, I couldn't clear the tutorial.

Because the tutorial keeps on asking you to pull off moves and I have no clue what the hell the timing is and it sure doesn't feel like sharing.

Didn't know the PS version had forced tutorials. Wow. Don't worry though. I most likely wouldn't be able to clear the tutorial either.

Wasn't that also Yahtzee's argument too? They added in a segment on "Bounce Canceling" that he couldn't figure out so he just button mashed until it got off and never used it again.

You can skip the tutorial. And, yes, bounce canceling is exactly where I gave up. I never could get it to trigger. I still don't know what the hell it is.

The tutorial basically shows you a sequence of buttons and tells you to do it. It doesn't show you the timing or explain anything about the requirements for doing it, so it took me a bit to realize that in order for "perform a high attack with Triangle" to count for the tutorial it actually had to hit. (I was expecting it would just want us to do the moves and not demand they all land successfully. I mean, it's a basic controls tutorial. We can move on to "being effective" after the basics.)

Queue "press Square, Square, Triangle to perform a String Attack." I still don't know the timing for that or what that means or how it's different from a combo. But I did manage to get all the way to Bounce Cancels before giving up.

...Okay, you asked why there are guards in the Wayne Manor even though Superman didn't know they were going there, but... The answer was in the cinematic that played at the start of the Green Arrow chapter: Superman's paranoid that Batman's still got something planned, so he's keeping guards in there to alert him when someone actually comes in.

Practically speaking, they weren't intended to be an actual opponent, but rather to buy time until his more trusted allies could investigate... You know, the turrets suddenly getting disabled, which probably set off an alert.

Yeah, Killer Frost and Solomon Grundy are the kind of C-list nobodies who might get stuck with guard duty.

Also thanks for standing around in the background while that whole fight was going on in the Watchtower, Martian Manhunter.

Also, god the VA for Joker's just plain bad.

I really didn't mind the jokers va in this game. But I can get where you are coming from. At least he isn't the joker from the red hood movie. That one always seemed a little off to me. But that may because I'm so used to Mark Hamill that anything that isn't him just sounds weird.

Alternate dimension Lex Luthor is a pretty cool guy.

Doseku
Nov 9, 2009
Hell yeah he is. One of the few things I found interesting about this alternate dimension is that outside of Luthor noone is really different than their prime counterparts. He's the only one that seems to follow what alternate dimension characters are usually like by being the good version of Lex. The other superheroes only became evil because they are forced to toe the line, otherwise they would have been the same as their "duplicates".

I would have liked a Red Son-esque characterization that he wants to work for the betterment of all mankind... but he also loving hates Superman.

So for those keeping score: Yes, Superman did just up and murdered a sixteen year old kid by eye-lasering his brain, just for saying that maybe leveling two major inhabited cities is going a bit far after subjugating the entire planet.

... And Barry is the only one who has any kind of problem with it.


I also like how Lex managed a victory out of defeat, in a quintessential Lex Luthor way:

"I'll destroy you even if it costs me my life. I'll expose you as the threat to all of humanity you are."

Mission accomplished, Lex.

Just to give a heads up. Real life commitments have finally caught back up with me and I'm going to have to step out for who knows how long. So from here on I'll be switching the LP over to auto pilot. Basically what that will mean is that one of my buddies will be posting the video links in my stead until I get back. The plan is to finish out story mode then when I get back I'll show off various game characters along with the dlc characters.

The new update schedule will now be once a week or once every couple weeks depending on how much of the story remains.
However that all depends on if my work schedule holds to what I'm told it was. It has already changed at least twice in the past couple days and the first change was for the worse.

I thank you guys for your patience and hope you are enjoying what's been put out so far.

Also, going by the tie-in comics: He critically wounded Superboy (who felt he was overstepping things, back when he'd only recently killed Joker and went to try and find the Phantom Zone Projector, so that there'd be no way for him to get help in time and then essentially blackmailed the other Titans who went with him-not Cyborg, Raven or Nightwing, who were elsewhere-into going into exile with Superboy into the Phantom Zone, as that was the only way to save him. And nobody else knew about it.

I feel the need to point out that not-quite-evil Lex like that also turned up in the DCU Online game where he came back in time to prevent Braniac from taking control, and "Marshalled the forces of man" by leveling a few cities to imbue people with superpowers.
