Okay apparently that 1.5 hours of being completely wrecked by Firestorm has turned me into a Catwoman badass and everything else I'm fighting is melting to my power. I have a headache though, so I don't know if it was worth it.

I got her move where she calls a cat to help and I kinda can't help but keep playing now :3

for some reason AI Firestorm is a tremendous rear end in a top hat and he always shows up in challenges like "BOMBS EVERYWHERE" or "JUMP ATTACKS DO 5x DAMAGE FOR FIRESTORM"

maybe it's because the AI can pull off inputs blazing fast, too

I read somewhere you should just go ham on bronzes, because they're so much cheaper and you can sell the garbage while still having chances for epics.

I forgot about that! I mostly only buy the silver ones. But christ I just sold about 6 epics for Cyborg who I never play - and I already sold other epics for him - still only 1 for Wonder Woman.

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.

It has been an established trait of the character for more than 25 years that John Constantine could not fight his way out of a wet paper bag. He routinely loses fistfights with completely ordinary people.

He'd be a great protagonist for a series of horror games with a heavy investigation element, but he's totally out of place in a fighting game.

quote:

Hand-to-Hand Combat: Constantine's skills in unarmed combat varies depending on the writer. Some portrays him as a poor physical fighter, while others as a capable hand-to-hand combatant. However, he has occasionally won fights, either by using magical weapons (Hellblazer issue 217 and Chas: The Knowledge ), by fighting dirty (Hellblazer issues 42 and 57, and the graphic novel All His Engines), or by quick-thinking (Hellblazer issue 250). During his fight against the god-demon Nergal, John ripped the spine off of the demon's back with ease. Aside from conventional close-quarters combat, Constantine also uses stealth to take down foes, like using illusions and sigils to sneak on opponents.

http://hellblazer.wikia.com/wiki/John_Constantine

Boom, in-universe explanation, plus he's taking Batman's Kryptonian Pill thing. All of the things I had him using are magical in nature save for his revolver, so he's super enhanced. Hell, he can throw pocket sand to stay in character for all I care. Put him in game.

Constantine's super should be him buying your opponent a beer and then a demon shows up and takes their soul, because John can't have any god drat friends he doesn't get murdered.

I actually like the meta challenges, because that's something skill-based I can control and I feel like that probably helps me get better. But yeah stuff like that or security drones or getting poisoned just feels really bad

What I can get with zero bar is comparable to what superman can get for 1 bar(without trait) and superman is already one of the harder hitters in the game.

You're also forgetting the established fact that he sucks poo poo at fighting straight up but wins by being a conniving little poo poo and his "bag o' tricks" so to speak.

He'd be a perfect zoning character honestly.

If Aquaman has just one clash where he bellows "OUTRAGEOUS!" I'll main him forever

And he needs like a 1/100 chance of this being his fight intro and it's completely unskippable and you lose ten levels if you DC from it

The fact that this didn't become the default Aquaman is a travesty and I would totally be cool with his bullshit meter burn trident loving if he said "THE ADVENTURE WHERE AQUAMAN SHOVED HIS TRIDENT UP DARKSEID'S rear end" when he did it.

It would be way cooler if Aquaman talked to fish. I don't get why that's a running gag where characters make fun of him for stuff, having a bunch of magical realism ocean friends is a cool superpower.
