God, I picked a bad week to get my stupid rear end probated. Anyway, stuff I missed!

Lobo: Tons of fun. Lots of great dial-a-combos. Special moves have great utility. Trait is a bit "meh" but it has a ton of uses. I'm probably not going to main him, but he's a great addition.

Batgirl: Looks great. I see MK style teleports. Hundred hand slap move. A projectile that stuns. A shoryuken. She is going to be a strong character for sure. Would be cool to see her in May, but I think first week June is more likely.

New OP: looks good. Can't wait to start more goon rooms on PS3.

I nearly forgot about this. Injustice was a top 10 seller on the Playstation Store in the month of April in both NA and EU. Plus the season pass was a top 10 seller in DLC in NA for April. I could see them staying high up in sales through the summer as DLC is announced and released.

Good games Liar Lyre. Our connection was... weird. It was fine like 90% of the time, to the point where I felt like it was as close to offline as it gets, but then we'd get lag spikes. I wonder if it has to do with the crumbling poo poo in the background. I've heard that makes the game itself lag on PS3 at times.

Also, in case you're wondering why I was jumping around to a bunch of characters, I was mostly checking to see whose stuff I could or couldn't do in a connection like ours.

I know what the problem was. My brother got on the computer for a little bit to check his email or something. Things you just got to deal with. Oh well, you still dominated me. And I broke your 14 game win streak. :v:

Nah, it's alright. I know the combos and the strategies. I just suck at the execution while playing. BTW, those Harley combos that end in the command grab are brutal. No knockdown = no wake up.

They also claimed that the Killing Joke pack will consist of three skins, I suppose that one would be 'Classic Batman' but no idea on the other one (Failed Comedian Joker perhaps?:haw:) and in the week they'll announce a 'surprise' pack

drat that looks good. I assume one of the costumes is a Batgirl skin. Hopefully the other pack includes something for Lobo.

Yeah, I like that tier list too. Lobo probably should be higher, but he's new so I'll let it slide. Overall the listing is tight. Lots of great characters in the game and I hope patching doesn't throw it completely off.

Why would they even think about patching out Ares unblockable setup? In a game rife with bullshit let the God of War have his.

Besides I read that if anything you'll have the option to tech after the b23 making Ares guess on what mb smack he needs to bust out.

Yeah, that's all they need to do. Making it a 50/50 is much more fair and fun.

Holy Calamity! posted:

Isn't there the potential to cancel knockdowns / juggles into setup moves (mines, drone) that would limit your opponent's movement options and allow Lex to counter whatever they have to do to get around the trap that's about to stun/interrupt them? It would all hinge on knowing exactly what your opponent's going to do to answer a particular trap- If you knock someone back and throw down a mine in one string they're either going to use a projectile or teleport/jump around it, and hopefully a good Lex would be able to predict such and immediately punish it after setting up the trap.

Or does that seem like an impossibility?

Lex seems to require some high level mind games. He's got lots of crap that fills the screen to make the opponent make the wrong move then punish. But the start up time man.

This game makes people so upset that when I actually give props to someone for almost kicking my rear end and pulling off some sick corner combos with Arrow I literally get flamed back.

Maybe it's just Sinestro and how easy people think he is to play that does it to folks.

It's not my fault I push blocked you during your sick mix up. Pressed the jet take off and then smashed a robot into your face. Stage transition me next time you big baby. Sheesh!

I had the opposite reaction. Played a few matches with some kid that found his way into the goon room. I gave him a few tips and we had a few matches. Just some good fun, no hard feelings.

So has this person just never seen preorder DLC ever, because I can't think of a single case where preorder DLC hasn't been offered for purchase later on.

I remember pre-order DLC for Lollipop Chainsaw and Sonic Generations being exclusive. It's not unheard of but it's uncommon. MK9 did non-exclusive DLC so it should have been no surprise to see that in Injustice.

If anyone wants a laugh, head over to testyourmight.com and read the reactions to the patch changes. They're eating each other.

It's hilariously messed up.
"I can't beat Deathstroke. Nerf him to oblivion"
"No don't nerf Deathstroke. Now he's completely useless."
I think the changes are good. They are quite minor and make him a bit less overwhelming at long range. As far as I know his good old normal guns haven't changed at all so he's good to go.
