Good to be able to play you again Yardbomb. Your Wonder Woman sucks worse than mine! :smugbert: But who am I to say. I have no clue what to do with any of the other characters. I spend half the matches just trying to figure out their specials. It was fun though.

My entire Wonder Woman basically consists of trying to abuse that crazy jumping 3 and her weird shield stance so I'd like to hope so haha.

Yeah though, I've been enjoying the both random matches with anyone I can get to do it. Even though I occasionally get people I have zero idea about (Cyborg, Catwoman, Killer Frost, Green Arrow etc.) it's good fun when the other guy's equally stumped with the character they got dealt. See: Foodahn and I both getting Catwoman and spamming whips and hops at each other just out of range the whole time, that was just a saga of miserably bad gameplay. :v:

Sadly nope, it was pretty much the best/worst thing ever though. The whole first part of the fight was just us throwing whips at nothing, then we figured out her leap and slide moves which was another whole segment of us under and overshooting moves, then it pretty much just turned into us jamming out piddly combos. It was terrible but incredible seeing two people be so bad at playing the same character at the same time. :allears:

Though unrelated to that, the title is pretty dumb. It feels like it was chosen based on an earlier story draft too.

The subtitle doesn't really fit the story on the game.

The story is how Superman and other metas are pretty much gods that can do whatever they want if they feel like it.

I guess it's more clear in the comics than the game itself.

I think the subtitle's really fitting, seeing as how they have the powers of gods, yet the basis of the story is of Superman letting his 'mortal' emotions get the best of him and cloud his judgement.

"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

I just got this as a gift, and I'm having a blast with it even though I'm terrible at the timings. I ended up skipping most of the tutorial because I just could not get the timing down on combos into supers, I spent fifteen minutes on the batarang combo alone before giving up and jumping into story mode. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Does anyone have any advice for someone whose main experience is ASW fighters? I know I can't mash an extra input in there or anything, I just cannot figure out the timing to save my life.

Rico loving hates Scorpion. He's been blowing up Perfect Legend non-stop on twitter for not being able to beat him with a "DC character". Scorpion is hella scrubby especially in a ft2 so I can understand why he's pissed.

Ruling was simply to update the stream console and let all the previous results ride.

I understand why Jebailey won't let the bracket re-run, but for all the fun people were making of Rico being salty as gently caress about scorpion, he ended up right. It really is pretty bullshit.

All the people crying so hard about it are the kinds of people that just want to press all the buttons and get really frustrated when they can't press a button for a few seconds.

I think it's more that people don't want the game to degenerate to having to hold down all day whenever a Scorpion shows up. That's what I end up doing when I run into a Scorpion, and it works but it's boring as gently caress and isn't 100% successful if the Scorp actually knows how to use the character beyond mashing on the teleport all day.

Meter burning a B3 or something might work if he has no bar, but if he has a bar then his teleport will probably beat that too. In any case, I think we'll have to wait til CEO's Injustice finals to see if he's really as good as he's made out to be.

:siren:DRAMA:siren: at CEO:

Someone apparently had a wireless pad plugged in to one of the Xboxes during a match between JRosa and Circus, and paused or sat on their controller or something right in the middle of the last match in a set with a pretty clear advantage to one of the players. They ended up having to run it back from the top despite literally being within the magic-pixel holy poo poo Daigo parry range of impossible comeback - lots of salt all over the place.

The reason that people aren't "holding down" against Scorpion, as you suggest, is that good Scorpion players never use the teleport non-metered unless they're in a situation where you're not going to be ducking it.
