What's with the eh... bretonnian dance, sir?

So far I've mostly been catching streams of this game whenever I can, probably gonna give in and pick it up some time soon since it looks really fun as well. Though I'm surprised nobody uses the Joker, like is he not very good, too difficult, reliant on certain stages or something?

Thanks, Lee/Didio!

Jeez, If Zatanna does end up getting in, I really do hope they take the hint that most people probably wanted the magician-Zatanna thing and not the generic bad lady getup there.

I'm still just a bit surprised nobody's said a peep about Beast Boy when it comes to who they'd like to see make it in. :(

No sign of the Red Son skin pack that was supposed to come out as well yet though.

This is only from some early stream watching, but god Bane actually looks pretty nice right now. The extra bit of quickness on his charge and his venom cooldowns getting reduced by big chunks is looking pretty good.

I never see anybody playing Grundy in any streams and it makes me not want to play him since I'm guessing the reason you never see him is because he sucks.

I just had a game where pretty much me and the other guy were blown away by the end.

I was Shazam and he was Black Adam, first time so I was just figuring out all my moves and mostly just doing damage with the Atlantis interactables. Well at the end after his super hit me, he had me down to the whole 1% blinking splinter health and he had probably like 50% or so of his second bar, so it looked pretty grim. After he blocked some combo of mine, out of total desperation I launch my super and it looked like he got out of it, right until one tiny way off frame connected, sending him up into the animation and dropping him at close enough to the same health I had, which had both of us cracking up that the wonky super had even landed. Then the second my feet touched the ground all I could do was spam out that lightning bolt command, which by some miracle and to his disbelief, nailed him before he could zap me and netted a win.

That's probably every other game for some dudes but man, that was awesome. :buddy:

I know there was a bug that when your opponent disconnected on you it in some way counted against you. Maybe that was it?

Before the Batgirl patch I think, basically if someone ragequit you both got losses for whatever dumb reason. Doesn't seem to do that anymore though, I've had more people ragequit than I have losses at the moment. :v:

And it's not because he's a particularly good character either. This sums it up well enough.

Pretty much, if you've ever read or even watched Under the Red Hood, it's really easy to hate Jason because he does the most scummy poo poo and then tries to justify his lovely actions, but the fanbase makes him out to be this troubled character and it's huge because he's basically the Sasuke of Robin's.

Great games, but man did I feel like I lucked out any time I won against that Wonder Woman, that huge skillset's got so many tricks around. Also I should probably never play Nightwing against competent people for now. Felt like such a spaz trying to even get off the most simple combos.

I don't know why people still have Bane dumped on the bottom of lists now. Since the charge and venom CD buffs he's a lot better off. Like he still loses some matchups bad, but he's nowhere near being the worst thing in the game, especially not worse than someone like Lobo. (This is from watching a lot streams, bigger players and junk, not just my games against bad pubbies)

Since we doing the tier discussion thing here is my personal opinion on the tier list after the patch.

http://www.mmcafe.com/tiermaker/inj...g7o00gr00il-bk5

Not really using the board to its fullest there, but consider that S, A, B, C and D as far as the groupings go.

That's a pretty reasonable list. As for not using the whole thing, I wouldn't even think something like a D really exists in this game. Like some characters are obviously worse off than others yeah, but I wouldn't consider anyone dumpster-tier, loses against everyone level.

Nightwing rules when someone's any good with them. (Not me)

Scorpion's design and gameplay look fine but ultimately I think he's a bit of an uninspired choice for a guest character.

That's pretty much how I feel. Like I'm sure he'll be fun (If not maybe a little imbalanced at first) but I really would've preferred to get MMH, Zatanna, Static, Swamp Thing, really any number of actual DC characters instead.

KungFu Grip posted:

Well what if the movie flops and Zod is a boring and lovely character in the movie? No one would want to play as the lovely boring dude from a bad movie.

I don't really have a whole lot of faith in the new movie, so that was my thought as well. Release Zod, play up a little bit of extra publicity for the movie, hopefully get some sales off him early in case the movie sucks.

That was a Black Lantern Superman, Black Lantern is basically undead monster versions of heroes that can't die or something similar. Either way, a Black Lantern pack would be kinda cool if that's not just the free patch skin.

I'd like to hope this means seven outside of the euuugh Ame-Comi outfits. Just wondering what the new Green Lantern will be, maybe another Black Lantern or if not that then possibly the USAF Green Lantern from Red Son? Plus if it does turn out to be that, then Red Son Batman (As if he doesn't have enough getups) will probably be right behind it, which would admittedly be kind of cool.
