Just who the hell do you think we are?

I've never really had this kind of lag with any other game I've played online. All the matches I was playing today were with full or nearly full bars so I dunno.

Online you gotta remember that the game remembers a lot of your inputs ahead of what your actually doing, so put in your button presses ahead of time

Unless you mean other fighting games, those games aren't nearly as finicky as fighting games and have plenty of ways to get around lag and bad connections while keeping a fairly good baseline for online play. Short of GGPO games that explicitly work to eliminate the effects of lag, fighting game netcodes aren't all that great in general.

Yeah the best one I've seen lat wise was Blazblue: Continuum Shift. It's way of dealing with lag was that if one person slowed down, both players slowed down. Otherwise the inputs felt crisp and responsive.

Anyways really fun matches tonight with Soonmot. Learned a couple things about Shazam and you learned a couple things about Joker! I call that a win-win.

Scorions got some impressive looking combos 112 xx bf1, b3, j3, d2, bf1 only does 27% but it looks really cool and its fairly easy to land.

MB spear into a stage transition is hilarious too but it drops the damage down significantly. Only 26% after the spear.

I don't know if you're 360 or PS but try adding some goons as friends and requesting for some 1v1's. I know there's a metalist and a spreadsheet somewhere with all of us on it. This way it's a lot more fun for you than playing against randoms and you'll learn a lot. You can discuss strategy post game and hash out problems you're encountering as you play. One of the best ways to learn the game and your character.

Is there a reason my stick won't work at all when a march starts and my non dlc costumes have disappeared? Controls work fine until a match starts then stop, even training mode won't work

Edit: lol now it tells me to log into a profile to see the archives (I'm logged in) and when I push the button to turn off the xbox it automatically turns itself back on

Deleting all of the game save data is apparently the only way to fix the control thing. Also it downloades up to the last compat pack, but scorpion and the last red son dlc don't even show up in the dlc list. I bought the red son gl costume and don't have it now. Someone help me :(

Go to your download history and select it there.


Also, Scorpion is the most fun I have had with any character so far. This is great.

Where is my download history? I don't mess with dlc much. I looked through the marketplace and I don't see either the red son 2 pack or the black lantern pack. I guess they got taken down for some reason?

Considering PSN hasn't leaked images of DLC characters or put out incorrect or unfinished DLC files at all for Injustice, I would say yes, it most likely is Microsoft's fault.

I just bought this, and for some reason the Season Pass.

I don't know why. I'm awful at fighting games and I have little to no interest in superheroes. Should be awesome. Is there a character that is generally regarded as terrible but is still fun to play?

There are no terrible characters, but one of the weaker ones with a fun playstyle is Bane, if you like getting in and pressuring your opponent.

There are lots of better characters for that, though. Does someone have that handy chart of characters that lists their playstyles? I can't find it.

It's obviously missing the DLC characters, and balance patches may have shifted some characters' roles some.

They're all pretty fun to play in their own way, but tier lists aside I would say The Joker? Shazam? Also according to tier lists created by tournament players - Bane.

That reminds me that a few days ago in the Beginners room a Joker was kicking so much rear end in KOTH. It was magical to saw him utterly destroy a GL, a Superman and a Doomsday :allears:

I like Scorpion a lot, even managed to win a ranked match with him just now. It's all a matter of trying them all and picking the ones you really feel a thing for.
