Source crystals seem completely and utterly fair as a microtransaction. Good on 'em.

It's too bad that it looks like the gear transformation system is pay only. I really liked the idea of switching the stats to a piece of gear that you liked the look of but I certainly wouldn't pay real money for it

Well is fine by me since I am only using gear for looks and not bothering with modes where stats matters.

If the gear numbers really entice you, well its long standing tradition of either you go with what you like looks wise, or sacrifice fashion for stats. Tossing a few bones for transmog isn't the biggest deal.

You can already have two player mode with both players playing Scorpion in the first one so frankly I don't even see the point.

Sonic fox early picks for decent characters. Says he is looking forward to Captain cold the most initially. Also that with his time with Canary she is like mk9 Cyrax, which immediately makes more scared of her than any other character in the game.

He seems to have a pretty high opinion of everyone except Cheetah. Like people have brought up, I think Darkseid's biggest weakness will be his speed. He also seems very floaty in his jumps and I worry he'll be overly reliant on his teleport to maintain a zone strategy.

interesting how he said Cheetah is a downer; if anything, the streams convinced me Cheetah would be a high-octane pick. Some of those combos and ways she gets in are scary as gently caress.

Doctor Fate, Darkseid, and Black Canary I can def see being popular picks for tourneys

What I took away from it is that this is a game with some very strong long distance zoners and Cheetah has little to easily contend with that; and when she does get close she doesn't have anything to reliably keep an opponent locked down.

Edit: I'm really eager to hear DS's mirror match intros. The competing megalomania is bound to be hilarious.

Less that as cheetah with her serial numbers filed off demon flip is a great answer to zoning, but she just has fuckall to do until she's upclose, and then it sounds like her base strings are kinda balls and her damage output doesn't make up for it.

However early impressions and all, Sonic has been (very)wrong about things in the past as he kinda laser focuses on people he likes and that's about it.

Personally cheetah is one of the characters I am looking forward the most, because her and swamp thing are completely breaking the mold of what a grappler looks like in fighting games. She's super fast and has demon flip, and swampers piledrives you from full screen. Very different than the usual plodding zangiefs/hugos/banes/etc that grappling usually gets associated with.

*ed*

At very least I think cheetah is tied with Superman for best supermove in the game. Usually supers in NRS games are mostly kinda bad competitively with a few standing out, but Cheetah along with Superman both have the "I have 4 bars and you are now my hostage, you can't do any move or jump" styled supers. Swamp Thing and Bane also have fairly good supers since they hit where the opponent is standing currently, so that shuts down most options but jumping.

I'm sure perceptions will change after people get a significant amount of time with the game. I'm excited to play Darkseid, but I also see features of him that make me think people might be overestimating him due to hype. Not that this will stop me from enjoying working on him, of course. I've always been a sucker for zoner characters whose goal is to control the field.

Hey, at least Darkseid is a complete character this time around. If you remember what he was like in MKvsDC -- or to really go wayback, that Justice League SFII clone for SNES/Genesis -- this is by far the most respect he's gotten in a fighter in decades.

No joke, he was probably the last character I expected to have any interest in. No one is more surprised than me.

I'm not all that good at fighting games, and I have low self-confidence with playing online in general, but Neatherrealm has given me the perfect excuse to actually try to compete and get competent at a fighting game: Unlockable customization options, which I'm a bitch for.

Also got no work the day the game comes out so yay.

Edit - I hope story mode goes through a wider variety of the roster than 1 did. It was so frustrating playing Batman twice, instead of getting to play Raven, Killer Frost, Grundy, Hawkgirl, or Sinestro.

Eh, the other side of it is that when they made more guys playable like in MKvsDC and MK9 they had a whole bunch of meaningless filler chapters.

Also, nobody is good at fighting games and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Just get in there and slam buttons until you figure out better ways to slam the buttons, is my advice!

Was that Robin murdering Lex Luthor near the beginning?

Anyways this game looks dope as hell and there seems to be a tonne of single player content. I'm sure just leveling a bunch of characters to 20 would keep a lot of people busy for a while!

Also I never asked this but does the game have a block button or is it still down or back to block?
