More tutorial questions! I'm practicing with Black Canary and her Front Handspring follow-ups (df3). The one where you just have to hold 3 is easy. But then the other two it says to hold d+3 or u+3, how does that work, I was able to mash through it after repeating 100 times but I don't actually understand the timing or presses

Edit: Welp, as soon as I posted that I managed to figure it out. My reflexes feel shot

god drat I need that skill. I wish there was a market kinda thing just because I don't even know what I should be 'going for' considering I have no clue what abilities/gear sets there are for the characters I like

Its a Boss Brainiac move so who knows. I thought I blocked it once but I back dashed out from it

See, like for this:



If I hold down, and then press 12f3 as fast as I can, it should trigger, right? I don't know how useful this actually is or if I will be able to ever do this in an actual fight when I can only seem to get it to work 1 in 200 times in training

try taking it slow at first and break down the parts. down 12 is a string so you can input those at a pretty quick pace. but if you press the down forward 3 too quickly it just wont come out, same as if you were too slow. this is a little quirk with how cancels work off strings, once you get the timing down you'll be able to do it with most any special inputs. you'll just need to practice that rhythm until it clicks for you.

the way i handle my input rhythm is by making sure i dont press the actual button for the special ( in your case: 3) until i've heard the hit sound effect of the last strike in the string. sounds a little weird but it helped me, i generally have issues in NRS games with inputting too quickly.

If this were a normal fighting game yes.

But NRS games don't buffer held directions for special move inputs so you have to go to neutral and then do df3

Thanks, I tried a couple hundred more times. Either there was a gap between the strings and the special (too slow) or the special didn't come out (too fast, right), but I couldn't find the middle. Man, is it like only 5 frames or something?

I mean, I don't think I'll ever be good enough to take advantage of that, I lucked into getting it once to finish the tutorial which is all I really wanted I suppose

Pretty sure it's random. I got a Poison Ivy ability in a box at profile level 15 and I haven't even used her yet.

Seems random to me; gotten them from boxes from seemingly early on, all single player at the time.

Even split between characters I use and characters I've never touched, fwiw.

edit: I know the rage messages are bound to appear, but everyone's been so drat nice after wins and losses so far.

You're guaranteed one for a character when you hit level 10 and level 20 with them, but you can get them randomly.

There Diomedes aimed and stabbed, he gouged him down
his glistening flesh and wrenched the spear back out
and the brazen god of war let loose a shriek, roaring,
thundering loud as nine, ten thousand combat soldiers
shriek with Ares' fury when massive armies clash.
I just did a metaverse boss battle against Darkseid, and he should fight in the cartoons the way he did in this fight. OMEGA BEAM OMEGA BEAM EXPLODING MINION OMEGA BEAM OMEGA BEAM. Up high, down low, all over the loving map, behind me, through me, other side of the map. Dude was a goddamn laser gattling gun.

Luckily, the fight forces you to use Supes, so after I realized I'm just not good enough to actually fight this kind of zoning, I went full ham with my lasers. Still just barely won. Good lord.

Has anyone found a good site with advanced combos like juggle and crossup chains in text/icon format? It seems like most of the stuff like that I'm finding is in youtube videos which I hate. I don't want to watch a ten minute video to find a move it would take me 5 seconds to read.

testyourmight.com is the place to go, biggest NRS community site.

Sadly they are in a bit of a phase right now where everyone wants to use discord(which I think is awful for sharing information as its just a glorified chatroom) but there is still plenty to find on the forums, there is character forums for everyone and such.

Apparently there is no other way to get source crystals other than leveling up (100-150 per level up). Or to buy them - it's like a free to play game that encourages you to buy things but it's a paid for game. If I had known this I wouldn't have spent all the ones I had just changing outfits for a character. Very dickish of NetherRealm and WB.

If your opponent isn't immediately mashing the 'find next opponent' option after you beat them, then you didn't really win.

drat, I got the game, but it looks like no one in Asia is interesting in DC super heroes. All of the available matches have super high ping!

How is the game about gear? Do people like to play with gear or is it easy to find a match with people who just want to play a fighting game?

Ranked matches are where you should go if you want to play without gear.

Yeah if I would have known that I would have used them to get Vixen and Guy Garrick, oh well.
------------------

Unfortunatly my PS4 didn't record this, my WW fighting a Supergirl that kept using her go off screen and comes out the other side (is it space port?). I heard the guy say "bullshit" when that's all he was doing and I kept blocking an punishing. Oh well, learn another move. :slick:

Any tips for Poison Ivy or Black Canary? I'm going to start leveling one of them up. I think I want to start with Ivy to try out because then I will try Harley and Catwoman fpr the Gotham sirens.

VVV: HAHA yeah it was BS because this game doesn't have a block button like MK but once people learned how to block it most scorpions stopped using it in Gods Among Us. That's how I treated that Supergirl player, I already knew from fighting tons of Scorpions haha.

Yeah, the thing it doesn't make clear is that they're not so much follow-ups as interrupts. So not knowing that totally throws off your timing.

So I decided to front the money to level up black canary, cheetah, and poison ivy along with getting the skins - now their levels went back down. it saved the the source crystals I had (after using them). WB's answer was to power down the system, uninstall and reinstall the game - so now I'm waiting to download 11ish gbs of game now. loving hell. I am going to be furious if this doesn't work.

I haven't had the issue myself but a few game site shave reported on it. You don't have to reinstall. Power down (not rest mode) for at least 5 minutes. That clears the cache, then you should be good.

Others have said just going into the character tutorial for the one that lost levels restores them too.

I wouldn't have been upset and just dealt with it if it was ingame earned money - but since I paid real cash - it's kinda a big deal to me.
