I hope her teleport is good for catching zoners like smoke's was (along with his parry) but from the trailer it looks like you have to pick where it goes (far/mid/close) so it'd be kind of hosed up if there was a deadzone for it.

I wouldn't mind that, since it would be kind of unique. It's not like we don't have any teleporting zoner-punishing characters currently. As long as it didn't end up like Shazam's teleport. That is so bad.

Jmcrofts posted:It's got this system called throws, pretty good for punishing turtling. When I say turtling, I really mean horrible run-away and zone tactics. I earlier fought a shazam who only ran away from me, and then used his bf 2 to fly through me and run away again. It sure was a fun match! E: I'mma be on ps3 in the next 20 or so minutes, if anybody wants to play!

Shazam bf2 is punishable on block. I imagine Catwoman can either b12d3 into full combo or Cat Dash into full combo after blocking it. You should test it in Practice, though.

That trait is strong, and he doesn't seem to really have any awful matches, at least in the more popularly used characters at this time.

gannyGrabber posted:Yeah, he had the range down though where he was ending up outside my sweep range though, it was weird. I went and tested this, and the only time Shazam bf2 will recover outside of Catwoman d3 range is if he does it so close to you that you could: A) interrupt its startup with a fast move of your own, B) already be mixing him up, or C) be more afraid of high/low command grab mixups anyway It seems like any range where d3 works, d1 should work, too, which means you can get full combo off d1: d1 XX bf1 b3 f3(1 hit) f2 XX bf2~MB 1f2 That won't work if the d1 hits out of the air, though, in which case you need to do d1 XX bf2~MB b3 f3 1f2 or something similar. From a little further out than that, he'll stop close enough for 112 to counter, in which case you can go for 112( hit) XX bf1 into combo if you catch him in grounded recovery or 112(1 hit) XX bf2~MB into combo if you catch him too early and hit him airborne.

What if I told you that before now, I never knew I could combo from a d1? Would you think less of me? Thanks for the advice, at any rate. I'll try those combos out next chance I get.

When you recorded the dummy doing bf2 into block, did you remember to account for the fact it would side switch? Edit: As mentioned below, you're probably talking about Flash's move. I'm a dummy.

I think he's talking about Flash's Lightning Charge, but I don't know the frame data on that. I assume if it doesn't work online then the problem is lag.

The best way to test/practice how to punish punishable special moves, for me anyway, is to set the practice bot to reversal the special in question, set them to always block, and then tap them with a jab, block the special and try to punish from there. Not TOO related to what you were saying, but just a general tip.

So I've recently started running Deathstroke if I'm matched against someone who is likely to play Superman. I main Grundy and he is just not going to win that matchup very often, but sometimes I can manage a win with my sub-par DS. I've definitely noticed how disproportionate the amount of hatemail you get playing DS is to pretty much any other character. People that have been playing DS since the beginning must have some pretty thick skin. It's made me hate playing against a DS a little less too. I'm beginning to realize that there's a pretty complicated meta-game to zoning well against intelligent players. Also, just wanted to comment on how awesome it is that this game is still as relevant as it is. Injustice may or may not be as well-built a fighting game as SF or MvC, but drat have NRS studios come a long way in a short amount of time.

In general I think the MvC3 system mechanics are a lot more solid+fun, but the game has a ton of bad decisions too and more dumb stuff than I care to get into. Injustice has super weird system mechanics but at its core I think the game is a ton of fun and has a lot of potential as a competitive game.

It's tough to compare one to the other like that which is why I didn't really say one way or the other. Personally, I have a lot more fun with Injustice than other fighting games just because I feel like it's easier to understand, and that's gotta be worth something.

Although, it's just over 2 days to Batgirl day, so maybe all our dreams will come true and she'll lead me to the promised land.

Mr.Unique-Name posted:I've gotten plenty of rage quits but never any hatemail, except in response to taunts when they ragequit. I'm just theorizing here but it's probably the combination of Sinestros mustache, accent, inherent play style and victory pose that makes him so overwhelmingly infuriating to lose to in any way, shape or form. On the other hand, it sounds like because Grundy is such a lovable brainless lug that pubbies just want to help you be the best zombie you can be and even when they rage quit they just can't muster enough anger to send you insulting messages unless you go out of your way to troll them first.

Ok. At this point the only players I can't see getting hate mail has got to be people who play The Flash. Seriously, what could people possibly bitch about? He has no projectile, has flashy combos and does everything in your face. NICE COMBOS FAG LEARN TO PLAY.

I know you're joking but back in MK9 I actually did have a guy starting yelling about me midmatch because I was doing actual combos and also called me, "One of those fags who watches videos on YouTube." People will find just about anything to complain about when they're losing but complaining over simply comboing you is the most absurd thing.

People sent me SO much loving hate mail when I first started playing as Flash and consistently won using nothing but super moves. I'd sweep the leg four times until they'd finally low block and then do his flying overhead. Combine this with blocking and punishing projectiles and people would constantly send me "learn to play human being", etc. That was before I started trying to do combos, now people mostly say "Sick flash"
