I mean he's Cyborg so keeping your expectations low is wise.

He's...decent. His trait is garbage.

Is his trait that bad? I saw there were some cool zip-line crossup setups you could do with it.

Is there another way to trigger meter burn besides R2? Because I seem to use it sometimes and I'm not exactly sure why

Also how do I deal with corner pressure? Is it just trying to MB 3 or MB roll out?

I am doing the same tower I did last night and I guess it stays the same because Wonder Woman is owning me again a dozen times in a row

Edit: Well I guess not exactly the same because now I'm losing to the next fight a dozen times in a row

And great it looks like they stuck that 12-level AI Ivy from the single player multiverse into this guild tower except she has a slide and can shoot projectiles from her hand as a normal attack or something

Goddamn gently caress poo poo gently caress.

I spent literally three hours and lost literally 120 times to the boss of that multiverse guild tower. I was thinking I would make a joke post with a screenshot of my losses after I completed it, but I realized around loss 75 that was probably never going to happen. The boss did 20% more damage than me and took 20% less damage, and was just reading my inputs. I spent this much time on a boss in Nioh but at least that felt like a real accomplishment and was fair. Even if I succeeded here, it would just be another random mundane bullshit fight that meant little, and in this case meant nothing because I didn't even earn any guild points. Why is this in a level 1 guild tower

Edit: Then I went online while still on tilt and got completely wrecked by a Deadshot without even taking half a bar off. I have a pounding headache and my fingers are numb

Check your input timings in Practice mode. Meter Burn will go off if you even slightly depress R2.

Well the big thing about corner pressure is its meant to be hard to deal with, its your penalty for getting cornered. Gotta block a lot, learn some of your quicker moves but if all else fails use your d1 for almost everyone its a good tool to take pressure off. If you can nab in a d1 the hit stun on it is such that its still your "turn" and you can attempt a throw to put them in the corner, jump out, try another move etc etc.

He's an incredibly strong character with tons of options for just about everything, you can't go wrong with him.

Any specific tips for getting combos to land after a J3? I've been playing both Supergirl and Canary and for whatever reason I seem to have the most trouble trying to keep their juggles going past the J3 following their B3 launchers.

Extremely useful: While one guy fights the boss the other two use assist abilities like you see in other multiverse events: You have an attack, a support item, and an instant support that are all on fairly short cooldowns. You can use your attack while buddy is being punched in the face and it`ll gently caress up the bosses`combos, and you can throw health and meter at your buddy to power him up. It makes the boss fight really trivial.

That was a follow-up the post immediately before that where I talked about the rest of the tower. I actually did better trying to solo against the skull boss tower than what I was talking about, which was one of the other towers which has 7 fights and you can only do solo. I just called it a boss because it was the last fight in the tower and also a wrecking ball of a fight.

MrJacobs posted:

because you can do both? Cast field, chill in field while throwing orbs and poo poo. Get very tiny amounts of health and cause damage to/annoy the other guy.

The amount you heal or deal with them is just so small they're not worth using. You can't really fire them off when the enemy is in your face and when the enemy is far away, it's better just to fling stuff to keep them there.

Unrelated, but every time I think a character is useless I see a vid that changes my opinion. I always thought cyborg was useless but seeing him shut down some pretty strong characters changed my mind. Ivy's pretty deadly once you understand how she works (space control and relentless pressure). Even seen some Bane play that was pretty impressive.

This is a good event. Catwoman's free combo trait seemed pretty boring to me, but considering I drop combos all the time it actually seems pretty useful! I need five epics to finish this objective though. I guess I should open the 200 lootboxes I have lying around and hope for the best

Do you have links for good Ivy play, I'm trying to main her (will be sticking mainly to single player since I suck in MP) but I can't really get a feel for her.

Also, is there any way to intentionally choose 0 bars during clashes, or do you have to let the timer run down?
