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.

Outside of the ocean he has super strength which is like the bare minimum baseline requirement for the Justice League (Batman gets a pass without it because he has sick blackmail info on all of them)

Batman created the Justice League and since it's not publicly held nobody can vote him out.

It is and he does-telepathy means he can 'ask' as well as 'tell' and he prefers to ask. But then you look at who he's being compared to in the Justice League. DC have been legit pissed ever since the mockery started. And people have gone over why he's legit strong and tough and dangerous and why it's a cool power also.

For years and years.

The jokes haven't stopped.

So those at DC have never stopped being pissed right off.

Probably some fans too. Or they just sigh.

The jokes will seemingly never stop.

Superfriends is to blame, but then again Superfriends made Darkseid look lame so really its a wonder the reputation stuck with Fishman.

It's also weird because you don't get the same amount of jokes about Namor over at Marvel. And the literal only difference between them is the fish talking thing. And Namor compensates for that by being able to fly because he has itty bitty wings on his feet.

Aquaman doesn't hype himself up as much as 'Imperius Rex' Namor. Like 'Imperius Rex' is the meme of Namor. It's all he ever goes on about. He's this constant smug rear end in a top hat who goes on and on about how great he is.

Even the JLU version struggled to make him cool and JLU made everyone better

It also doesn't help that Aquaman's orange mesh and green pants design looked real stupid.

At least Darkseid looks badass even if a cartoon is ruining him

They also don't constantly try to cram Namor down readers' throats like Aquaman which is a big difference.

Whats your basic combo route for Harley?

For me, I try to do her air launch combo (forget the name, the one that ends with a double hip-fire), jumpkick into that 2 hit combo that has her bending over backward (should really learn the combo names), then dropping to a tantrum and putting them back in the air.

If it all hits, their boned. If not, they're still on heavy defense now cause you just threw a bunch of poo poo at them.

The guild multiverses are really good for being so hard they FORCE you to get good at a character. I just walked through the battle simulator with Harleen and barely got touched.

Also, we still have 10 spots in the PS4 Goon Patrol. The rando issue seems to be corrected, or at least someone kicked a bunch of people the hell out. Maybe add it to the OP as well?

That's only because they made him a mutant and don't have movie rights to him.

Namor is Marvel's first superhero. They'd be pushing the hell out of him if they had movie rights.

Nah even in the past before comic movies were a thing, he's show up and sometimes be on an Avengers squad but he wasn't in places he didn't belong, and he was generally in squads where super strength actually filled a niche the team needed.

RE: what boxes to buy, apparently you can go infinite if you have enough level 20 characters. Sell value increases with level requirement and a guy posted about opening thousands of bronze boxes and having more credits than he started with. Not sure what all he was selling though.

harley gets meterless b3 in combos which only batman and black adam can still do as far as I know, generally everyone gotta spend bar for damage now.

so any starter like 11, or b22 or whatever, tantrum stance, 1, b3, step forward, jump3, step forward, 11, and then you can either end in her command throw, throw out trait that they have to wake up into, or some other gimmicks.

That combo can be a bit difficult but you can substitute jump 3 for jump 2 to make it much easier.

Catwoman can do meterless with a f2,d3,db1. The problem is landing that first f2

Well, apparently my connection was briefly interrupted when reporting that I finished the Guild event. It gave me the completion and performance awards.....and then proceeded to not actually count me as having completed the Guild Multiverse event.

I put up with well over an hour of bullshit homing missiles and no combos and buzz saw floors for no credit.

Okay, maybe Guild Multiverse isn't for me after all.

I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you that it does. They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?
I've done most of the guild multiverse missions multiple times and never encountered any of the bullshit you guys are mentioning. Which probably means that when I do encounter it, it'll be an unending onslaught of bullshit.
