Don't watch Arrow lol. Don't watch any of the CW shows. Actually just don't watch any CW shows at all tbh

If you're looking for good Green Arrow comics Jeff Lemire's run was very good, and the Long Bow Hunters mini series is great too. The current Green Arrow book by Benjamin Percy is alright and has fantastic art, and its probably tonally closer to the Green Arrow in the game than the other stuff I suggested.

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?

Bane is good.

I think swamp thing and captain cold are bad. Scarecrow seems bad but looks like people have been finding some strong tech with his trait in the last few days.


Swamp Thing gets hosed over with his trait imo. It's an alright idea (Prevent the enemy from jumping or dashing) but you summon it wherever you are already standing. You'd have to be really lucky with throws to get that work out for you.

I got an ability for him that changes it to be a teleport that goes underground, and I don't think I'll ever unequip it.

Other than that, he seems pretty decent. His combos are a lot of 2s and 3s rather than 1s and 2s, which is jarring coming from Batman. I've yet to figure out a great way to combo into his Supermove, either, which is unfortunate.

Legends owns, but only season 2.

The current Green Arrow comic is good, and "The Archer's Quest" is a good trade paperback to pick up and arguably the only good thing Brad Meltzer has ever written.

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?

I feel like the new characters have more potential to show over time but if i had to list a top 5(keeping in mind game obviously early, this is more for yucks than hardcore analysis).

1. batman
2. superman
3. black adam
4. atrocitus
5. a fight between deadshot and aquaman. Aquaman would take it if they didn't change up his trait to take full damage from blocking now.

specifically in that order. Batman with the change to his batarangs is now a competent hard zoner. He always could get full combos from full screen with trait usage and now he has more to do from full screen. His pressure is still insane and j2 is still one of the best jumping attacks of all fighting game history. Superman while himself not as strong as inj1, is stronger in comparison to a lot of people having their own stuffed changed and f23 is just as belligerent and deadly as it was before.

adam is fairly obvious. Atrocitus becomes a rushdown monster with trait as everythings safe, the shield fucks up all kinds of jumping and attempts to get out of pressure(on top of letting him get in for free) and sure easy 50/50 into full combo.

I haven't tested the damage on it, but you're almost certainly better off saving your meter as ST can get some pretty solid damage meterless or for 1 bar.

For fairly easy stuff you can do:
f23bf3MB f23db3 11df1b
b223bf3MB b3 j3 11df1b

If you wanna get really crazy then you can link b223 or f233 into f2, though both are drat hard and the link off f233 is spacing/charachter specific.

Swampers trait is great. There is a bunch of setups where you can combo into it in the corner and then lock the opponent down once they land.

Only thing I don't like about swamp thing is he has too many 1 frame links. I just can't go back to that no more I don't got the patience to grind it out.

I haven't seen many people playing her, I think her combos are weird and so are her moves but her pet plant turret seems good as does her aquaman drill thingy. I think it's too early to tell if characters like Ivy, Cheetah, Cold, or Darkseid/Braniac will be good right now. Personally I can't say because I have not played her much, along with Cyborg (I will never play Cyborg)

She's good. She has amazing whiff punishing with her f+2, great zoning with her trait and the spikes, and probably the best f+3 in the game. Her only real problem is she has a hard time against other zoners.

His super is a fullscreen grab and likely not able to be combo'd into. His trait you use with the low combo ender that puts them behind you, or when you have them in the corner, or to set up an area they can't really mess with you in very well if you have a lifelead.

Ah its always different for everyone. For me every 2nd game is seemingly vs Robin.

Also did up a new vid, Supers are generally a bad way to spend bar but Banes especially is quite good/useful.

That's because the in-game explanation is extremely poor. Basically, you want to just push the buttons in order without thinking about the timing. eg: Batman you can press square, square, down, forward, square and he'll do two punches into grappling hook. You generally don't want to just mash these out in a real game but that would be enough to get you started.
