Guess this proves that hardly anyone cared about Young Justice, which gave both those characters a lot of love. What a shame.

To be fair, Cyborg does a lot of what Jaime would do (arm cannon/tech-based stuff). Granted, I too would have loved to see Jaime simply for the fact it's Jaime Reyes kicking rear end. Now, if they went for Ted Kord, that'd also be very interesting and have an equally potential moveset. But, if Blue Beetle did win, it'd be Jaime because Ted Kord no longer exists thanks to Flashpoint/Dan Didio.

Haven't read much of Dr. Fate and my exposure is limited to his Justice League appearances, but he too would have been a nice addition. Mainly because we'd have something along the lines of Doctor Strange in MvC3.

Ted Kord lives in Arrow, which is yet another thing that show does right despite being a DC property.

Doctor Fate typically just uses a lot of ankh shaped stuff and glow yellowness, but as a Magic user he can do whatever the hell he wants.

At least Zatanna is still in there. Her outfit probably gives her a decent chance too.

Please tell me Arrow preserved Ted's bromance with Booster Gold. That may or may not convince me to watch the show.

Ted hasn't actually shown up. He was just name dropped. He seems like a very likely candidate to show up in the future though, since he's mostly grounded in reality.

Arrow is full of fun little namedrops and visual references. Stuff like apartments being #52, to a Ferris Air jet being the target of a villain, or the super cheesy line "I'm taking the redeye to Central City. I'll be home in a flash".


vvvv And when the idea of crowdfunding a new season came up, they gave some ridiculous number like $10 million. vvv

Well, technically Warner Brothers mis-managed YJ since they own Cartoon Network. Coupled with the massive rewrite between season 1 and 2 (that was probably due to reboot shenanigans), Young Justice had the entire deck stacked against it. Which is a real shame, because I liked it. Even if some designs/casting were...horrendous.

Why would it be stupid? It's simple: ranked games count toward ranks, player games don't. There, simple.

Well merging all the Leaderboard stats into one stat line would be stupid as poo poo since it includes KotH and Survivor stats as well as Player and Rank. The solution you're proposing wouldn't actually be bad, though.

Just goes to show that NRS makes some of the design decisions they make just to be slightly different from their peers.

I'd actually be okay with Static Shock. I'd actually be okay with anybody on that list except for Power Girl and Red Hood, the pair that will almost certainly contain the winner.

It's not like they'll actually make the DLC anyways, I guess. v:shobon:v

I've got high hopes for this game. It was my introduction to the FGC so I might be biased but in checking out streams one of the things Injustice has going for it is that it's cinematic as hell, and also less...busy? Than the other fighting games that get a lot of play, so it might get by on sheer mass appeal.

I mean I get that players won't gravitate towards it just because it looks good, and it's about the mechanics, but I know some casuals at work who would never otherwise watch videogames who have started checking out tournament streams.

Don't be swayed man. Static Shock is more Shazam/Black Adam than anything else. We need Dr. Fate. We can't falter now!

So far I've mostly been catching streams of this game whenever I can, probably gonna give in and pick it up some time soon since it looks really fun as well. Though I'm surprised nobody uses the Joker, like is he not very good, too difficult, reliant on certain stages or something?

As far as I can tell he doesn't really have much going for him aside from his counter ability. Doesn't have too high of combo potential and all his specials seems to be situational.

Note that I'm not good at this game and better players will most likely have a better answer.

I spent a week of effort trying to get decent with Joker. I ended up a lovely zoning character that could gimmick parry. :(

Teeth are his big sticking point, and if you can get someone into a corner they can be hilarious. It's getting there that can be an issue. I found of all the characters on TYM, Joker had the worst of the combo lists/videos to learn from as well. Also a lot of the combo's people posted were complete bullshit and weren't actually straight strings.

Joker has some tricky setups with teeth, a really good air attack with crowbar, and a pretty good projectile with gun. He's not bad, just his trait isn't that good and he cant get damage like Superman or Black Adam
