Tried to avoid the hype, but for honor s2 was real underwhelming so here I am. The OP is hella barebones, is there a main site most people use to look up strings and juggles for dudes? This is the first NRE title I've played since like UMK3.

Honestly the best way to learn a combo would be to just stick the AI on hardest setting and watch them go. They pull off some really wild poo poo!

My problem with Catwoman is her inputs are really lousy. Constantly requires up or down presses mid-string and her cat dash has the same stupid back>forward input as last time. She does crazy good damage, though, and her B3 is still by far the best one in the game.

Yeah she's definitely fun to mess around with. Here's a quick combo I just bullshitted after a half hour of practice

I really hated playing as Swamp-Thing and doing boss Braniac with him was a thoroughly miserable experience.

Lmao that combo. You can get more or less the same damage off of 1 meter and trait but it WAS pretty dang rad!

I think my biggest gripe with catwoman is a lot of her strings won't happen unless the first attack hits. I've been playing a lot of Robin and Green Arrow where the first hit whiffing is no big deal and often part of controlling space, so it's very jarring!

It is absolutely insane to me that NRS thought giving Deadshot and Fate 200 more HP than Superman made sense from a balance perspective.

the idea was probably that zoners were frail and needed extra life to deal with the beefcakes but it didn't work out like that, did it

I don't know what it is about this game, but I'm just terrible at it. Maybe it's because I'm switching between it and SF and Guilty Gear regularly, but I can't seem to get the hang of anyone in this game. Granted I haven't gone on ranked yet. Maybe everyone's terrible.

Well sure but I'm more interested in the BBs people have found already. I picked supergirl to start with and I feel totally stumped. Probably a poo poo choice but I can't even figure out what to link out of her universal launcher. Also the second I'm out of meter I get scared cause all my offense relies on a freeze or mixup db medium

Pretty much every character in the game relies on meter to get combo damage going, so I wouldn't feel too bad about that. I guess if you're looking for combos you can try youtube, it seems normal guide have kind of died off in favor of short 1-combo videos.

Harley seems real good.

She's my current favourite for sure, but that's mainly because I love both the books she's in.

Two opinion based questions: firstly, does Catwoman look like she's based on somebody? I feel like she is but I can't place her, same with Wonder Woman, though I think WW might be Lynda Carter.

Secondly is anyone else hoping that the future DLCs includes Young Animal and Wild Storm characters?

Yeah, I think I'm just not used to the flow yet. I actually like that you have a lot of opportunities to break combos, even juggles, but at the cost of your guaranteed dmg output. It's that kind of back and forth that makes me enjoy the game a lot more than SFV so far. I think i might just move to a different character after I commit a lil more supergirl to memory.

Supergirl is awesome. Here's an easy combo to do after launching: jump in 2,3 then immediately do a fully powered laser eyes. A good combo including this is meter burned teleport, launch, jump in 2,3, laser eyes. Useable from mid screen and very high damage.

I suspect that the facial animations were done by putting an actual actor in a motion-capture suit, which means you might recognize whoever played her. I'm having a hard time finding out who if anyone was the model, though.

Hell, the faces are a huge improvement over mkx too.

Finished the story and played some multiverse.

I'm going to get a ton of mileage out of multiverse mode. Mkx living towers on steroids doesn't even do it justice.

Same. I haven't really bothered to dive into ranked yet. I've played about six matches and every single one of them was a terrible lag fest.

It takes a lot to make me dislike a character more than Superman, but somehow WW managed it.

I'm finally venturing into Online play, and I don't know what the connection issue is, but I haven't been able to finish a full game. They're counting as "wins" for me, but my record also lists 2 disconnects, so I'm not sure if I'm the one with the issue or my opponents. I've only played a couple matches so far but I'll be in the middle of comboing somebody and then the game just freezes and I'm asked if I want to search for a new opponent.
