Aren't there multiverses where like orange lanterns shoot cash at you and you can call in characters as assists? I only played it a few times but it seemed pretty wacky.

Yeah, I've had multiverses that included Captain Cold and Robin team up assists as their gimmick, so there are positive modifiers as well out there.

It's not the same as the silly minigames they used to have though.

star labs had a lot of wasteful minigame-level poo poo and only like half of them were interesting, so I'd rather have the long tail of constantly changing worlds than that. I came here to punchrush poo poo with Satan Lantern not dodge flashlight beams with Selina's cat

I made a series of bad investments. Tarantula farm. The bottom fell out of the market.

So does competitive mode include no abilities? Like Robin's staff? I wanted to watch Robin's AI for a bit before I played him and it looks really cool and flashy. I will be very sad if I never get to see someone win a tournament with a staff Robin.

Shocked I tell you
Should also note that Captain Cold's gun is non lethal unless he wants it to be. When he originally made the gun it's purpose was to slow the flash and hold people in temporary suspended animation. The ice was an unintended side effect. As a result it is actually harmless freezing.

Cold also interestingly enough is probably the most powerful Ice villain as his gun can manipulate absolute zero. The temperature were molecules stop moving. He can also create invisible wide beams with his gun that auto freeze anything that touches them. And normally has a field of it around himself when he gets into a fight. The cold field and wide beam does not have quite the same effect on Flash but it does slow him down. Which Cold gives as the reason why he can tag him reliably.

Shucks. Though it's obviously better for the game this way. Maybe some YouTuber will like goofing off with him enough that they'll get good at stancedancing with him in other game modes.

I didn't like the minigames in STAR Labs but I did like the challenges like finding an XX% combo or doing successful parries, that stuff helped me practice

Why don't they, you know, take away his gun?

Does he just keep making new ones?

Why doesn't anyone use his gun against him and put him in a harmless icecube and lock it in isolated cold storage?

No real news beyond the surprise RH screenshot the game's FB slipped on Saturday. And they said the character would have a staggered release.

I think staff is just all the stuff Nightwing had in Injustice 1. You can look up vids of that if you'd like.

I lost quite a few matches in ranked against Deadshot when I was trying to use WW's shield walking thing - it didn't work. So no gear or abilites don't apply . (at least to Ranked).

No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.

Ugh I am having a major character crisis. I love Grodd but he has awful, awful 8-2 matchups against deadshot and aquaman. Normally I would just fall back on supes but due to a few of his changes the old joke in injustice 1 of "f23man" has become more of reality and its effectively the only thing he uses unless he has you cornered and its not the most stimulating playstyle.

Black adam is good, strong, and easy but ehhhhhh. I'd play swamp thing if he didn't have annoying 1 frame links, Supergirl is fun but she has the lowest damage output in the game. Man when's Sub-zero already.

Swamp thing doesn't really have 1-frame links, if you're thinking of the db3 into 11 vine grab link? You can start the 11 a lot sooner than you think you can.

DLC Inc posted:

the mechanics are "netherrealm studious fighting game" but it has a lot of differences, mainly this being 3-button instead of 4 button (with the 4th being used only for character abilities) air and roll evasion poo poo that's new, super move over x-ray/fatality, and the whole gear system. You have the stock single player arcade and versus modes but also have the story mode, the Multiverse which is like Towers but with more progression and levels to each "world" along with much more prerequisites/anomalies/factors, and the dress-up dollmaker bullshit.

Every character gets stats for HP/attack/ability/defense and has 5 gear slots / 2 ability variants to their loadouts, you get loot boxes constantly full of items and can do stuff like regenerate the items you like so they match your character level, make them look different for coins, or apply shaders to characters. Most stat stuff comes into on Multiverse events but also come into play in the AI Battle wherein you tinker with logic for characters and put one CPU team against another in small battles. Of course, if you want strict non-gear poo poo mucking up your play then you can opt to fight battles and modes without the stats and only apply your sexy costume aesthetically.

so yeah there's a lot different and it offers a lot more RPG battling poo poo in general but also is probably more feature-rich and fully realized than MKX.

Yeah it all seems like an evolution of the progression systems from MKX. I'm not sure about getting it because I've never been that into comics and there are only a couple characters that are interesting, but the sheer amount of stuff to do for a fighting game looks neat and it seems to run really well on a PS4.

Also on a positive note I just want to say my Batman looks baller in the Noir shader and dressed up like Batman Beyond. Was definitely pleasantly surprised to find those gear pieces. On a less positive note, I just realized all the gear dress-up is useless with Premier skins who are locked into a single appearance. :smith:

it quickly becomes Cosplay Fighter anyway so even the standard characters can quickly look like someone else, knowledge about the comics really isn't required.

Only just remembered about Regen Tokens in this game so I got to regen all my level 3 Epic Joker gear, now I'm a hyperpowered garbage man. I didn't even know he had his classic haircut in this game, it feels like I constantly see new equipment. NOT ENOUGH SLOTS RIGHT NOW UGH

I'm constantly running into inventory limits on characters, I wish it was a little higher. Thankfully regen tokens are plentiful enough that I can usually just sell anything not epic quality and reroll those until I'm happy with the stats.
