Super newbie question: d-pad or analog stick (or keyboard)? Analog feels smoother and it's easier to do diagonal jumps, but I'm noticing that I accidentally do diagonals when I try to move and fight too.

Edit: According to some cursory googling it seems I am very much a "noob" if I use analog.

Do whatever feels best for you.

Mixing it up makes sense so far.

Also what's the goon PC guild?

Enchantress kinda looks like Quan Chi. That’s cool.

I asked weeks ago and never got a response... I'm guessing there isn't one. I joined a random guild. If there ever is a goon one on PC I'd join

Random it is. Last question for tonight: Some of these character tutorial special move cancels are just loving impossible. Is it about timing or just outright speed?

I didn't like anything I saw of her, which is too bad since I like her character. Ah well, some money saved. Only have to buy TMNT now.

I'm just not into counter characters, and it looked like quite a few of her moves were based around countering. I'm too bad at reading my opponents to play them.

since those trailers usually show off the gear moves too it's possible some of those were variations on the one counter move she has by default

Oh yeah I'm garbage when it comes to parries (see ya, Black Canary, and thank god for Red Hood's akimbo ability), but Enchantress looks like she has enough outside of that to be a hoot

E: I wish local versus would let player 2 use your loadouts. It's dumb as hell that it doesn't
E2: 30/30 counter/zoning black Adam is great for AI battles as long as you have deity bolt

drat, NRS done it again, she looks cool as gently caress. Absolutely love the throw animation where the demon comes out and I like her demonic summons/glass box moves. This is def the best 3-character pack of the lot.

The ice cube move looks like a gear move for sure to me. I hope the minion summon isn't though.

Mattavist

Ice cube move isn't a gear move, it's from meter burning one of her normal strings. The demon summon is her character power.

Couple of questions about mother boxes:
1. When should I buy them in regards to levels and such?
2. Is this true? That bronze boxes will on average be a better deal?

I did the New Zealand trick to get Enchantress early. She's probably too complex for my dumb meat hands, but she's still fun! Her powers change colors depending on the shader, too, which I wish was the case for more characters.

What does Pentagram Hex actually do, apart from adding the circle around the opponents head? I guess I should combo it with something but looking at the move list during fights doesn’t show anything.

I think it has some random effect like they can't use specials or using specials hurts them.

Its speed but the cancel has to occur after the last normal.

so for Batmans X,X,Y+Batarang you need to mash X,X,Y and the batarang as soon as you press Y. Don't wait for the animation to finish like with Capcom/Arc Sys games, just throw it out quickly and it should cancel.

I hope Enchantress gets an insane pointy stereotypical witch hat at some point, but they are not amazing at utilizing comic based costume pieces for this game

edit they did just give me Lynda Carter’s Wonder Woman tiara though whoa

My speed and reflexes have improved considerably after practicing cancels for days, but my hands hurt and Bane still smacks me around like an rear end on medium.

The only one of those that I still can't do is Joker's, when you have to throw the gas canister and combo it into the gunshot after uppercutting them.

That one is all about speed. The gunshot juggle isn't hard, but the gas cannister has like a frame of opportunity and the only thing you can do is practice.
