Right, it's easy to get gold yourself. The AI will miss it more often than not.

Do you actually want to play against the lovely input-reading AI? I sure as hell don't. Having the AI play the singleplayer content for you is one of the most painless ways to get boxes of pretty princess dressup stuff and make your numbers get bigger; that gives goodfeels to my dumb lizard brain.

Honestly if they developed this into a full-fledged league/Football Manager-style mode, I would play the hell out of it. Just throw in a strategic map/scheduler and resource management

I'm bad at fighting games, but watching the AI and seeing the stuff it does has let me learn a couple more combos that weren't in the tutorial so I look like less of a shitheel when I lose in PvP.

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?

Fenn the Fool! posted:

Yes.

One of the fastest ways I improve is when I'm forced to adapt. I've learned what buttons to press when I want to get a supermove to land consistently (Square Square Triangle works pretty well with Batman and Doctor Fate). I have begun to notice when I fall into the same old poo poo, and have spent the time in training mode memorizing alternative combos that I can use when I need to start mixing things up. If the AI is ever able to shut me down, I have a response that gets me back in there.

his mixup combos that center around his kick are all pretty good but aside from that, Always Be Teleporting in the air. You can transition to eyebeams or the glorious stomp so easy from that.

So, the game has been out for just over a week now. What's everyone's top 5?

In no particular order I think the best characters in the game are:

Supergirl
Black Adam
Deadshot
Batman

And IDK who my fifth is. Superman maybe?

those 4 are def easy to play with and have strong tools. you could probably put Superman/Aaquaman/maybe Green Lantern, Atrocitus, Fate in that echelon. PigOfTheHut had a little tourney that had guys like Scarecrow, Blue Beetle, I think maybe Joker in there? A lot of characters are very viable in high level poo poo.

Yeah, I've mostly been playing ranked. The single player stuff is perfectly fine to play yourself right up until the AI starts beating you, it doesn't play anything like a real person and reads your inputs like crazy, making it incredibly frustrating and random to fight against. You just end up looking for gimmicks that the AI has trouble dealing with, and those'll be nothing but bad habits when you go to play against real people.

Admittedly, making fighting game AI that plays anything like a real person is extremely difficult, but given the emphasis on vs AI fights I really would have liked NRS to put some thought into making the AI fun to fight against. Something that telegraphed when the AI was going to jump or do an unsafe attack would be easy and teach you useful skills for actually playing the game. Hell, even just making the AI play like someone mashing buttons would be better.

I like Batman and Black Adam for sure, got them both to 20 first. Superman seems good but I'm not sure I like playing him. Lots of f23. Lots. Harley seems good. Joker's got some good mixups but his main combos all require meter burn.
