I've only just now got to a point where I've got full inventories and I'm looking at an hour plus of tedious selloffs and am not looking forward to the process in the slightest.

e: and of course because of the limited overflow thing I've got to do it on a timeline or any of the actual gameplaying potentially forfeits gear, making playing the game riskier before I manage my dumb inventory and sell for cash for the single slot machine that exists.

meta-encumbrance in a fighting game. Brilliant. Finally I can dress up Joker exactly like I want to, unless all my slots are filled with samey swamp thing arms.

You know you can just highlight all the things you want to sell and do it all at once, right? It definitely doesn't take an hour unless you're somehow full up on every single character or something. Even then I don't think it'd be that long. Opening boxes is way more time consuming.

The most time consuming is definitely spending credits. You can only buy one box at a time, and then you have to open it too before you can buy another one. Very dumb.

I'm just auto-junking any non-epic gear I find for characters that I don't plan on leveling anytime soon. By the time I get around to them I'll probably be swimming in regen tokens to keep around the good stuff.

So as doctor fate in single player, black adam backs me into the corner. If I hold away, he tries to attack me, but there is literally nothing I can do that punished him? Anything I do, he will block and get a combo off on me, even though to me it looks like I should be able to punish him as he's just whiffed something? Even throws, he techs and then immediately combos me, even though I'm holding away? Is doctor fate just that slow that even my 1 is beaten by any special move or button that black adam has? Even if the computer is reading my inputs, how is it retrospectively giving itself armor?

usually the Ankh Blast is enough to give you breathing room, or the combo that puts Fate from the top of the screen down to stomp his head

Sorry, my question isn't how do I win, it's do I really have zero neutral footsies game here?

As in, it seems I have literally nothing that gets a hit in first against black adam just doing a combo at the first opportunity? Is that just the multiverse cheating, or is it really that bad?

Also, what's the deal with the doctor fate combo where instead of stomping from above he puts some harmless blue sigils around?

Endless on the Battle Trainer multiverse. Single Fight and setting it up for just 1 round per fight is probably the fastest though, but Endless is a good mix of also picking up credits, boxes, and gear along the way. Plus you can use AI for that mode when you are feeling lazy or don't like the fighter you are leveling.

Sure, but I want to, like, look at it all first before I dump it. Check what augmentations they have, how they look, whether they'd look good with each other, etc.

The dress-up portion of this game is fast becoming one of my favorite parts, which is why cleaning stuff out feels bad.

My bad, you can only do that for Single Fight.

I need to learn how to adjust the stats for AI fighters. As it is the stats are balanced across the board, but if you set it up for the strengths of each fighter you can do much better with the AI in multiverse.

Is there any reason why ranked matches aren't best 2 of 3, or even best 3 of 5? I like to run sets with people, but trying to find an opponent in Player Match is a slog. Lots of guys who instantly decline when the win odds are in my favor, lots of guys with sets of level 20 epic gear that refuse to turn on competitive mode, and lots of guys that play one and slam next opponent.

If anybody wants to play some sets, even if you're bad and learning, add me on PSN: Fenn_the_Fool

You do that in the gear customization screen, though I forget exactly when to push what to get to it.

On the movelist, how do you determine what each character's invincible wake-up/reversal (if applicable to that character) move is? Or do you have to lose via trial and error until you figure it out?

Also, gently caress supergirl's teleport punch. Putting someone in the corner only to have them pull that poo poo is loving retarded.

That was different due to the block button, and you can get used to blocking supergirl's teleport punch, but the fact that it allows for quick and easy escape from corner pressure is loving retarded when I'm Bane and have to put her there while dealing with laserbalsts(which is not a problem). Also the fact that she can combo regular breath to EX breath is loving stupid as well. Still like her overall, but those were not great decisions.

If SG has no meter then her teleport can only hit high, which means any crouch will block it. If she MBs though then it hits overhead and bounces into her combo, which is pretty dirty not gonna lie. In either case it's extremely punishable if blocked. If you're playing a rushdown hero like Bane just keep running into SG and her teleport will whiff.

The teleport is very unsafe. If she does it you get a free combo and can put her right back in the corner.
