Yeah, this is what sticks out for me. People have bitched every time they've added in a guest character, but they keep doing it because they always turn out extremely popular. I don't see what would change this time. None of the other characters look out of place though.

I mean, that didn't stop NRS with Scarecrow.

I was thinking about getting the standard edition and then upgrade it to the Ultimate via PSN but I'll wait for a bit in the off-chance that leak is real. I don't really care for any of those characters.

I guess I'm the only one that would be happy if that leak is real for Terra and Beast Boy. I dunno, I think those two are way better characters than Lobo has ever been.

Probably, but if they do him well in the game then it's not my problem.

Edit - I mean, I doubt it's real because the only one it goes in-depth about is Red Hood who had his stuff shown off today.

I'm good with that list if it's real.

There's a part of me that is conflicted because I would love a mystery Character Pack 4 that consisted of 3 characters from the first game. Just to bring them back. There were some cool chars I'd love to play in the new game.

Then again, a 4th pack with 3 new chars and no guests would be sweet too.

I was a huge Grundy and Zatanna fan from the first.

It doesn't make sense because they showed the silhouettes not too long ago, and they'd have to redo an entire gear system for Black Lighting. No way.

Theoretically, if they made it so he only shapeshifted briefly as part of special moves, the way Ivy or Hal will whip plants or constructs out of nowhere for a second before they disappear, that wouldn't be too terrible. It's still enough that I doubt they'd do it, but it's within the realm of possibility.

Spawn seems like somebody's dream rumor. If there's anybody on that list I do believe, though, it's Black Lightning. He's got a show coming out in the fall and I want to say he was in the comic briefly?

The appearance copy thing is so insanely expensive, it doesn't really matter if they're not epics anyway.

Yeah, except a lot of people play modes where the stats don't matter whatsoever so that's not really much of a problem. The real money stuff basically only exists to nickle and dime people with more money than sense.

I hope that list isn't real cause I don't even know who terra, black lightning, or enchantress even are.

Black manta I also barely know anything about but he looks like a rad 1950's alien so that's cool.

All you need to know about Black Manta is that he hates Aquaman to the point that he went straight for a while, but when he found out Aquaman was alive, he immediately killed everybody in his fishery out of rage and went back to being a supervillain.

I told you that story so I could tell you this one...
That leak is pretty sketchy, considering the the weird phrasing and spelling mistakes. Also, they wouldn't design Static Shock and then go, oh no, it's actually Raiden - wait, I mean Black Lightning. I can believe Raiden is a fake-out premier skin, but I highly doubt it's Black Lightning. Terra would be cool, but she's not really that relevant. Also, it should definitely be Atlee. I think Spawn will probably be in the game, but anyone could've guessed that. Not to mention that all the Starfire and Red Hood info was available from public trailers and interviews.

Black Lightning has a new show coming out, so he might be in to get some cross-promotion going. That list is mad sketchy though.

Thanks to those diamond events, my main guy Atrocitus just went from merely awesome to rage quit inducing.

Why? Level 20 Epic gloves that make Rage Charge (The flying face punches) trigger stage transitions, even without meter burn. Now, truly, he is an avatar of salt and rage online.

My god I'm finally getting the hang of it. I was losing story mode matches until I just did single fights and learned a few of one character's moves. I was having buyer's remorse, but now it's a keeper.

The original candidate for DC Comics' first headlining black superhero was a character called the Black Bomber, a white racist who would turn into a black superhero under stress,[4] and be later described by comics historian Don Markstein as "an insult to practically everybody with any point of view at all."[5]]

Raiden owns gently caress whoever this rando guy is.



On a different note I have been reading up on some of the characters and I have always been obsessed with power levels growing up a dbz fan. Ol' Swamp thing, he is effectively untouchable isn't he? His power set just effectively is "I am the planet" and everything that comes with it, and simultaneously having mastery of all plant life throughout the universe.

Towards the end of Moore's Swamp Thing he gets hit with a device that scrambles his "signal" and very nearly actually kills him so he's not unbeatable.

He's an elemental, a literal force of nature. Batman took him on once, and got chumped. This guy is the personification of the planet, which makes him a real heavy hitter. He's resiliant, but dependant on "nature", and I think if you take out the plantlife of a planet he goes down as well, so I'd put him below planetbusters like Supes, WW and GL, and def. way lower than galactic threats like Darkseid and Braniac.
