So I started playing Lobo for shits and giggles, and man he is awesome. Don't know why everybody's hating.

He actually is pretty terrible, but I find that he forces me to play properly, so I think it's a good thing. Won 5 of 5 matches with him aww yeah!

My best combo so far is j2, b2u1 112 xx db2 mb, which comes out to like 35% or something and it's easy as heck to do.

Here's the tier chart if you're playing against me.

Unless you play Grundy or Sinestro, then things get weird.

If you're not gonna meter burn then db3 is a better ender, leaves them close instead of across the screen, because across the screen is TERRIBLE for Lobo. Also being able to do is command grab reliably is really important cause he doesn't really have a mixup with his slow-rear end overheads and lows, unless you count 2,1 xx df1,d which only works with his trait loaded. Standing 3 is also really good, reaches far and fast, great for getting first hit meter. But yeah, Lobo is pretty much rear end.

On another note, what do the Batgirl players here do against a Aquaman that's traited up while in your bolas? Right now I just throw them, but theres got to be something better, right?

Am I wrong for thinking that Aquaman's trait only affects that 1 hit? So, could you just do crouching jab (which would be blocked) and then start the mix-up with b2u3, or b12 immediately after?

Pretty sure you could just sweep him. It should run the trait out and you're still point blank for a mixup.

Aquaman's trait is weight that helps him fall out of combos for a set amount of time. I assume you meant someone else?

I've got the exact same problem. What's really driving me nuts is that I've never had a character crisis this bad before either, especially with a new game. After a while I'll start loving around with new characters, but I've always had one to fall back on. So far, the only two characters I've liked a little bit are Hawkgirl and Bane, who are fun when I can get going but miserable otherwise.

Just don't go from a character that you're a little good at to another one during a string of fights. I went to Hawkgirl after a couple of matches and ended up flying around and spazzing out the whole time.

This is basically me. My thought process is something like this:

Man I love throwing people around but Grundy has problems getting in on decent people. Maybe I should go into practice and try out someone.
Oh hey, Lobo is rather fun. Let's give him a shotOH GOD WHERE'S MY ARMOR?! gently caress that, I'm going back to Grundy.
Huh, Joker is pretty fast. I might be able to work out something with him. Aaaaand I just sorta flailed around. Grundy it is then.
Maybe this guy......

Everybody I like is so bad. :smith:

Mr.Unique-Name

After playing more and watching a bunch of poo poo about Grundy, this is the one change I want for him.

Let him MB db1 immdiately, like when you do the input. The armor from MBing the move is the most important part, but as it is stands you can't hit the MB until the end of the wind up, so you'll be mashing db1 MB and get hit no matter what.

Also, I really want him to be able to MB df1 to spike the enemy and bounce them like f3 does, but I'm sure that's too much to ask for.

Edit: Oh yeah, I just got reminded of this. On stream somebody (I think TastySteve?) said that you can only clash Grundy's trait chain at the first hit or during the transitions.

Yeah, bullshit. You can clash at any hit in the chain. Literally any hit. You can clash out of the very last hit in any of the chains, or the one that is 1-2 before it (where the transition happened).

With Grundy there's a few things you have to watch out for. Corpse walk, or whatever the walk forward into grab is called, is one. It has like three hits of armor and the ex leaves you right next to him. You have to jump over this or get back really far, I don't think any of your dudes have anything that'll knock him out of it. MB Swamp hands will lead into a combo and hits low? so be careful during combos. His d2 is really, really good. It covers a wide area, and afterwards they can go into a full combo on hit, so be careful trying to jump in or do crossovers. If you are trying to grab him on wakeup he can MB trait throw, so if you think they're gonna do that you have to bait it and jump or something. I don't think he can punish Green Lantern's lift move at range, so that might be safe, but I'm not sure. Jump projectile should be a good move against him with GL. With Bane you can try to abuse venom armor moves? And Lobo is asssssss

ninja edit: Try GL gatling gun against him, that should beat his armor moves

Not sure if it changed, but GL's Gatling Gun can stop Grundy's Super dead, if spammed. Also be careful using GL's Ring Slam, if Grundy can predict it, a Working Corpse is just bound to eat it with armor.

Does GL have any attacks that'll slip under Grundy's corpse walk? I know with Catwoman I can time a b3 right and during her crouch she'll actually be under the grab, which I assume hits mid. I suppose not a lot of characters have this option, though?

In my opinion the best way to beat Grundy is to get the first hit and run away. Yup, I'm that guy. So as GL, you can get yourself to far range, and if he tries to swamp hands just jump and smack him with a rocket. If you hit the corner, either jump over him or wait for him to try and jump-in and force lift him out of it.

Pretty sure you still get the win, although I'm not sure about the XP points. Before the patch that was released a couple weeks ago it would count as a disconnect and a loss for you. I currently have about 60 disconnects even though I've never quit a match.

Well he wasn't totally wrong. The most recent patch made his trait grabs clashable later on in the chain rather than just the first. He doesn't really play the game, I think, so give him a break I say :shobon:
