She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Even if you really suck like me, you can sic your AI loadout on bosses and generally do well with some OP gear. I did that last weekend with only a level 15 Wonder Woman and she won on her first attempt.

guess I have to beat the simulator with Grid now.

Beast Boy was killed in the Injustice comics so the odds are against him.

btw I encourage everyone to do the Atrocitus metaverse before it's gone. I was at level 11 when I started and ended it at 15, was able to beat the lvl 20 Green Lantern after 2 or 3 tries no problem. Atrocitus in general is an easy and powerful character so even being underleveled like I was shouldn't be a hindrance. I've got 3 or 4 new Epics now for Atrocitus.

To be honest I have more trouble against the AI with Atrocitus than I do against actual people. Normally the AI reading inputs is super whatever, you just play around it, but I feel like Atrocitus's good neutral game tools like f2 and b2 are slow enough that it's tough to get around the AI just waiting for you to do something and then pushing a faster button.

...? If I spam light, you can guarantee if it's blocked that you're going to eat a lengthy combo, and as far as my testing goes there is literally no way to stop it? It's actually that black and white, get blocked = eat combo, that's what I'm asking about really? Maybe it's because doctor fate has a target combo that's like 112, so it has a bigger... Frames... More negative on block...? Are these words?

Open up the move list and take a look at that move's block advantage. If, hypothetically, it were -10 then your opponent could punish it with any attack that's 10 frames or faster (unless the attack they blocked pushed them too far away to hit you with those fast attacks). If it's unsafe then you definitely don't want to throw it out randomly without good reason, you could instead cancel to a special that's safer.

I'm not super familiar with Fate and I try to never play the AI, but I'd think that using projectiles would be the way to go. In particular, meterburning the slow orb makes it really difficult for your opponent to get to you. If your opponent does get's close Fate has some kinda magic shoulder-check thing that comes out pretty fast and has good range, if you cancel it to the ahnk special it does decent damage and pushes away if they block, giving you space to throw more projectiles.

majority if not all of those interactions are extremely non-specific. sounds like they just recycled a lot of generic responses that could be deployed at any character. I didn't hear a single character mention Jason's name but that's to be expected from DLC characters post-launch. still, I expected at least a little more effort for their DLC cast.

I find that you can usually open up the AI by just spamming your fastest attack over and over. Eventually something will break in their logic and they'll take a hit trying to do something else besides sit there and block.

The AI deals poorly with characters with rapid attacks or characters with reach in melee. When you have both you can go on a rampage.

It seems like the voice actors' strike really hurt this game in particular. It's not just the DLC characters; there's a lot of recycling going on in the out-of-the-box cast's lines as well, particularly vs. Darkseid.

Looking at it now, it really is disgusting. The flesh is transparent. From the start, I had no idea if it would even make a clapping sound. So I diligently reproduced everything about human hands, the bones, joints, and muscles, and then made them slap each other pretty hard.
It's a little surprising they don't have many (if any?) lines directly responding to Red Hood. Most of the DLC plans were probably set while they were working on the game. Guess they didn't have his line done while they still had the rest of the cast in the studio.

I wasn't aware of the strike, that's interesting. As a primarily Darkseid player, I think Wonder Woman is the sole character with original dialogue for him.

I feel like they kind of missed an opportunity to really get weird with Joker's anachronistic status. I'm not sure whether it would be amusing or annoying for him to have a heavier presence in the story with a deliberate lack of explanation. Him being a mystery with no solution may have been interesting.

No, just that you get the shaders and 3 premieres right away instead of as the packs come out.
