Arthur Curry as well as Atrocitus are probably also on the chopping block in a few ways. NRS might also cater to people by taking a bat to aspects of Deadshot.

No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.

Adam is fine, only thing if he had to be tweaked is his damage, slightly.

I am happy with where all the strong characters are, just the truly bad characters need to be risen up like Grodd and Swampers.

Adam's damage needs to be tweaked a fuckload if only because he has answers to everything. Also, Riddle of the Mothafuckin' Sphinx.

Swamp Thing, Captain Cold, and Grodd could definitely use some love. Captain Cold needs some kind of overhauls i.e. more combos or inherent specials. I feel like if only his ice platform special was a default move he would be in a much better place.

Im quite the noob, so I could be wrong, but I feel like swamp's vine grabs should be mids and his combo links should be easier.

His corner game is amazing, but he has few ways to force his opponent into it.

Quick reactions to the patch details:
____

Swamp Thing: has armor on vines when on his carpet, carpet now comes out way faster. Gets more health.

Aquaman: no longer gets bounce on tentacle slam, has more negatives on certain combos.

Cyborg: "Nothing" lol

Catwoman: slight damage nerf, no bounceback on block b3, no armor on cat dash

Atrocitus: cat abilities take a little more energy to use, 422 puke combo is more punishable

Flash: lightning punch comes out faster, the running man's power dunk is safer on block, slo-mo damage is a teensy bit lower

Green Lantern: no changes

Harley: No changes

Batman: meter burn batarangs has more recovery frames, less advantageous to use now, damage adjustments on bats/grapple

Red Hood: Dive move is slower on startup now and less ridiculous

Superman: Flying Punch attack now has no armor + hits high, you can duck it now. Rising Grab has more recovery on whiff. Damage adjustments.

Joker: No changes.

Grodd: More defense/health. Damage adjustments. Stampede does more damage. Character power can be cancelled into psychic push quicker. Infinite combo was removed.

Cheetah: 223 combo safe on block. 332 combo better on block.

Deadshot: frames on certain close attacks slower now. no changes to his guns, lol

Poison Ivy: I forgot sorry

Supergirl: some damage adjustments to raise it a bit. Things like meter burn breath does damage.

Green Arrow: nothing

Dr. Fate: a bunch of weird convoluted poo poo about his ability, glyph attack less punishable on block


Blue Beetle: "good the way he is" LOL

Firestorm: nothing

Black Canary: many strings are safe on block now. many carthweel moves have better pushbacks. some more damage from a few combos.

Darkseid: PERFECT AS IS.

Wonder Woman: Quicker shield specials, some safer combo strings, shaved recovery from activating ability.

Black Adam: Damage lower across the board, Cloud special can be blocked late, needs to spend more meter to get better combos/damage.

Captain Cold: "easier combos" or some poo poo. Still won't be a viable pick lol.

Welp RIP Catwoman, just as I was getting comfortable with her... I can live with making blocked b3 more punishable but her wakeup game is still poo poo and removing armor from Cat Dash doesn't help. Stoked for the Canary changes and I think the change to Red Hood dive was absolutely, utterly needed.

Bane, I'm assuming nothing as I didn't even see him listed?

Deadshot/Darkseid/Cpt Cold :lol:

That summary is really bad. Catwoman has less pushback on a blocked B3, and more recovery on a whiffed B3. Bane has a faster s1, more damage on some meter burn specials, and takes slightly less damage like Grodd and Swamp Thing.

only if its blocked, so if you just throw it out now, you are gonna get punished hard.

In terms of answers to oki pressure that are not just blocking, DP is godawful so it's already a low percentage option. Trait used to be good on wakeup too, but they've removed invincibility from it as well as dropping armour from MB Cat Dash. Basically there are now a whole lot more situations in which you have to hold dat mixup etc. on wakeup with her.

I was basically in a subway watching this so it's not like I had PRO CONTROLS. Anything not listed is because I went on the train so blame the MTA.

changes to Swamp Thing and Grodd are nice and I think toning down Supes/Adam is good too but they barely addressed why Blue Beetle and Captain Cold are really bad (low damage/bad combos, specials) so I guess Snart is just destined to be poo poo-tier forever. I wanted a meter nerf or something for Deadshot but they didn't give a gently caress.

Deadshot doesn't even deserve the tiny nerf he got lol.

Glancing over it the nerfs seem mostly bad and the buffs seem mostly good. Wish they did more to Fate.

Superman and Black Adam absolutely deserve nerfs but it's mindboggling how they could skip over characters like Captain Cold and say "he's fine we added like one adjustment that's it fam" it's almost sad how badly Sub-Zero ate his lunch

Thanks! Ivy's anti-air was glacially slow so that first thing is actually a big deal. I don't know how much the D1 will come into play but that's nice.

Maybe I will pick up Black Canary with those changes too

When they showed Black Adam's nerfed damage on stream, he hit for 40% using a suboptimal combo. Unless they added damage scaling to Lightning Cage and didn't show it, Black Adam will be the best character in the game after this patch.

He also needed to burn meter like twice to get to that and can't combo into Cloud without meterburn.

his combos aren't as awkward and he's a swanky French psychopath

also has better gear, a better supermove, teeth are better than mines, moves much faster

Do other premier skins have different moves?

Since bizarro has the flame breath, is that an equipable move separate from the skin?

Are premier skins allowed in tournaments?

I think Flame Breath is functionally identical to Ice Breath, it just plays a canned animation of the person on freaking out while on fire instead of the ice.

It would be very NRS to make it different by accident though lol
