You can do Multiverse with AI? How did I not see this (and why didn't the mandatory multiverse tutorial mention it)?

When you select your loadout on the character select screen, just pick one of the AI ones. That's all you gotta do

They’ve got events for movie Aquaman, Superman, and Batman up along with the pre-existing Wonder Woman, Flash, and Cyborg ones now. Next 70 hours. Get that Momoa armor, but not that beard or hair :smith:

Are there pics of the Supes/Bats/Aquaman sets up somewhere? The Cyborg set being the gun and nothing else was pretty lame

Ahh, Supes is a weird janky S, it's not that great. The set is the regime set, I'm not sure if any of these sets weren't already in the game.

Good as new.
Why do my AI characters wreck face in the multiverse, but act completely stupid in AI Battle? It's like the game just removes all of their AI and gives them stupid pills. Like, they're losing fights against enemies 10 levels lower than them, and whiff their attacks all the time and jump around like idiots when they behave perfectly fine in multiverse. I even made sure to adjust their AI manually, so I know it's not because of the default settings.

I said come in!

as far as "GaaS" goes this is probably one of the better ones since you get good DLC and a rotating roster of multiverse stuff to do all the time and pretty much all of it is however much you want it to be. Letting you Tamagotchi your own AI pets as well is a cool thing, too.

It took me two weeks after launch to realize it was there. Best feature in the game by far.

This is on sale for $20 on PSN right now, the story mode and Multiverse alone are worth that much so I grabbed it finally.

Man, it takes a lot of getting used to coming off MKXL. I keep holding R2 to block and pressing back-4 to do sweeps.

Am I crazy or is it a lot more finicky to do meter burns in this vs mkx

I don't really know about mkx, didn't play it, but I found I was messing up meter burn / combos because it was actually 'easier' than I thought. Like you don't need to time it, just mash it out.

sorry for the double post but I'm struggling to find a good comprehensive guide on youtube or otherwise for the mechanics that aren't explained very well in tutorials - basically everything involving Meter Burn, like i theoretically know HOW to do air dodge and whatnot but the tutorial doesn't do a good job of showing you how thing like that work when you're getting mercilessly owned by 25 hit combos, especially since the system is extremely different to MKXL

the game also doesn't do a good job of telling you what the special attacks actually do, some of them seem to do literally nothing :confused:

I hated the tentacle MB nerf since that killed all my Aquaman combos to the point where I cant use him in competitive mode. :( Also no Momoa hair and beard to go with the Justice League Armor. Also the coloring of the armor sucks and you cant get a chainmail shirt as gear.

Aquaman is a lot of wasted potential.

The ones that do nothing are probably counters or command grabs.

You might want to check out the character-specific tutorials to find out more about those. Usually if a move doesn't appear to do anything it's a stance/setup for a set of mix-up moves (Harley's Tantrum Stance) or it's a parry of some sort, the character tutorials usually show those off.

"Play Doctor" is so loving finicky to actually land that it may as well not exist.

It's used for that, reskinning gear, and upgrading your dudes to level 20 once you've gotten that far with one. That's all the uses I've found for it, there might be more.

You can get all the common skins from mother boxes, btw. Not sure about the other ones. I'll probably spend the ones I've got saved on the John Stewart reskin that makes GL into an actually interesting character.

are you having problems landing it or getting the motion down? You can combo into it via juggles like a wallbounce launcher (back+3) jump 2, then press 1 and cancel into play doctor for an annoying Damage Over Time combo finish.

Meter Burn doesn't have to be as precise as the game makes it out to be, even if certain moves say things like "press MB just before this" or "Press it just as XYZ occurs" because for the most part, if you just press it once or twice during the move, it'll happen. Air dodging falls into this category because I kind of hammer the button as I'm falling from a juggle while pressing Away, and that works. That almost costs meter. What does need precision is how the dodgeroll goes; you need to time the MB button press with the end of your dash in a way that you need to practice at.

You only get a limited number of source crystals from playing, to get more you have to pay real money. Source crystals are the only way to unlock the premium skins without paying for them. Using them on something that would happen if you play the game regardless is suboptimal.

To use an AI in the multiverse, you need to go to the costume select for the character you want to fight with, and select an AI loadout. You can equip specific gear on them and even alter their AI tendencies in the customization screen from the main menu.

The hardest looking ones aren't so bad, ending matches in combos or special moves. Just play a lot. What takes the longest on all of them is doing the 3 million damage, and that's just a matter of doing endless multiverse whenever you can.

Wonder Woman insulting the opponent with lasso MB never gets old in IJ1 or 2. Best combo ender in the game. Also crouching boxing glove arrow to the balls is great. Also Superman having a literal "superman punch".
