I was also thinking about maybe Flash but I've heard nothing about him and also for whatever weird reason I'm only interested in characters that are bad. So I'll bet he's not very good.

Flash is amazing and he's sort of my main. He's not easy to use and he's all about mixups once he gets in on people. Also, he has the best looking super in the game.

His weaknesses, however, include some zoners (Deathstroke and Supes, the rest are easy to punish), and... people who bunnyhop a lot. His d2 completely sucks, and his anti air move has almost no priority, anything can beat it.

Other than that, it's all about figuring the other player out and using mind games to beat them. :eng101:

Edit: and oh yeah, no interactables will ever hit you thanks to his db1. :D

Flash. I played hundreds of matches before I even started working on cancel combos. Block, punish, repeat. Study your opponent's routine and once you get in on them mix it up with overhead attacks, lows, and grabs in quick succession. As you go against better opponents you'll be forced to learn which moves are safe or not, and start mixing in combos as you can.

Flash is one of the least newbie-friendly chars to use effectively, why would you suggest that? :psyduck:

Green Lantern is a good option, so's Doomsday.

Holy spellchecker, Batman!

I ran into a really good Harley myself the other day, actually lost a match to her! (It was the same one that was stomping Gasti)

Seems the best way to defend against Harley is to block low, a lot of her damage comes from tantrum stance. Or stay in the air, her AA is pretty bad.

Oh god, yes. That b2 into tantrum stance will haunt me forver. :eng99:

Look at it this way. Are you going to still be playing Injustice for at least two more months? Will you hate reading everyone talk about DLC characters for a few days to a week after release? Will you grimace knowing your character select is missing a few slots?

If so, then there's no reason to not foot the MP for the season pass. Even of it means you'll be dicking around with Scorpion soon.

Edit. Sorry. Posting from my iPhone.

Yeah, I'll probably end up biting the bullet and hoping that Scorpion's name was just a placeholder kinda thing.

Can't wait to try out Babs, definitely want to main her. :)

Ack Krad/Gasti you gave me a good thrashing. I'm giving up on Raven, I just can't put up with her poo poo!

For everyone else: How do you have the patience to play characters with slow lead-ups? I'm trying desperately to shift away from Catwoman but I just get really frustrated when my attacks have crap priority and I get put in the corner and smashed to pieces that I just go crawling on back. I think I have battered wife syndrome.

Sounds like you should give Doomsday a try. Still a brawler, can push back like no one else.

Player match, ranked, survivor, and koth rankings are all separate.

That's stupid. I prefer Capcom's way of doing things in this regard. Whenever I fight someone, I have no idea if they're actually good players or not, not to mention that I have zero sense of progression by fighting in ranked if there are no tiers to speak of. :eng99:

If you go to the Leaderboards and sort by Friends or categories you can see how each mode has it's own Ranking system. This would be so hosed up and stupid if they were all merged.

Why would it be stupid? It's simple: ranked games count toward ranks, player games don't. There, simple.

Does anyone know any BnB combos/setups or anything for Joker? Like someone said previously, the TYM thread for him is retarded and it's people that are trying to max his combos in insane ways.

Best thing you could do is watch this guy's past streams. He mains Joker in ranked games and has some pretty good combos and setups that you can figure out just by seeing them.

I know I've played against you before (Flash player in goon room) and I found this strange every time I saw you, but... man, you really need to start using your meter, even if it's just to squeeze out some extra damage out of your charges/command grabs. I thought you were saving it for some level 3's but it doesn't look like it judging from this video. :psyduck:
