Only characters with "man" in their name are allowed to be top tier in this game.

Woo! Grundy is top tier!

Actually, since apparently his trait makes people drop out of the game that is probably accurate.

Edit: poo poo, Solomon not Soloman. I am dumb.

I honestly do not have any idea how the hell the game can have not much lag in game, but voice chat goes choppy as gently caress constantly and rooms routinely split if you have more than 4 people in one.

GGs tonight all. I see I've completely forgotten how to get in with Grundy.

I can play in an hour. :suicide:

Also, I was thinking I drop poo poo online so often because I get over excited or whatever, I'm starting to think lag may have something to do with it. Because when I gently caress up a combo 4 times in a row online then go into practice and nail it over and over I think it may be more than just nerves.

Well poo. I get tired of these ranked matches because its really easy to lose a round to random stuff.

Does anyone know exactly how fast throws are in this game?

I am almost positive normal throws are faster than command throws are, although that could just be me not recognizing the timing.

Don't they have frame data for throws in the move list? I thought they were between light and medium standing attacks for most characters.

So I had a tough time beating Raven players for a long time but now if I see someone pick her I just immediately counterpick with Deathstroke. There's just nothing she can do to stop him and I love it.

I'm curious, how is Deathstroke beating Raven consistently? Does the Raven player just not even try to approach? She isn't terrible at zoning, and if she's in mid range it means that DS can't jump anymore, which makes his zoning a lot more predictable. Deathstroke also can't just shut down Raven's trait teleport like Sinestro can.

Wow. Pig of the Hut says Sinestro vs Flash is 6-4 and Supes is 5-5.

I can see Sinestro being 5-5 vs. Supes. But not Flash.

This was Ranked Mode. I guess it draws a different kind of beast.

This dude was something like 4 levels higher than me, not that levels mean jack poo poo in this game, but he clearly knew his stuff when it came to Arrow. He squeezed me into the left corner of high Watchtower, caught me with a f2d13 into low ice arrow and then instead of transitioning me, he corner combos my rear end like he's Desk and drops it. He went for another f2d13 right after which I pushblock and win thanks to the jet and a lucky robot who came over head just as he was burning and a fear blast.

He should have won, so I sent him some ggs and compliment his skill and tell him if he should have sent me through the console into lower Watchtower.

Next thing I know I'm spending 15 minutes getting railed over XBL for it. :rant:

Was that the dude that flipped his poo poo about you picking Sinestro?

People get very upset when you call them out on quitting because you kicked their rear end.

Also, can you use qcb to cancel any of Sinestro's projectiles?

I assume they scale like everything else.

I think they might scale kind of extremely.

Earlier in Arturo's stream somebody comboed into a transition and ended up with 18 hits for 21%. That seems like less damage than a stage transition with no lead up combo does.

WarEternal posted:

Eh, depends on what you're doing, some moves eg: frost pipe in Arkham stage will scale the rest of the combo deeply. I can do a sta8ndard Raven combo in the corner and end a bit early into stage transition and get 45% out of it instead of the 30ish it would normally do. Unless you meant 21% ontop of whatever they were already doing.

No, it was 21% period. I was thinking it was crazy.

I'm pretty sure it did use the frost pipe pretty early on, so that might be it.

I dunno man. It's getting a lot of praise and I could see it being on par with SF4 or Marvel, with TTT2 at the very least.

Maybe Tekken or KoF (in the US). Almost certainly above P4A or other anime fighters, but I don't think it will come close to SF4 or Marvel. We'll see I guess. I just remember when people were saying the same things about Skullgirls (although that was before the game even came out).

Edit: The most annoying thing about watching Aris play Deathstroke in tournaments is the fact he plays him exactly like people online do. He doesn't even try to combo. I guess do it if it works, but it's boring to watch.

Wolfkrone has been playing Deathstroke on Arturo's stream, and it is a lot more fun to watch because he'll go in and knows combos. Some of DS's combos look like a huge hassle to pull off.

Okay, I'm starting to look for another character again so I decided to try GA in training.

Is the timing on GA's combos super tight, or are Grundy's combos overly easy? Because I can't get the timing for GA at all. I guess it's one of the things where just keep trying over and over and it will click, but it just feels so much harder than Grundy.

If people don't want to block, want to keep jumping, and can't adapt, they are going to get zoned the gently caress out. Aris is just playing to the strengths of his character. To say he doesn't try to combo is ridiculous. He'll use a combo whenever he gets the chance up close. Thing is, he usually doesn't need to combo because he's so good with his spacing and projectiles that people hardly get near him.

He almost never does any combos over 6 hits that I've seen. I'm not judging him for playing by zoning almost entirely, and I'm pretty sure I was clear in saying I didn't hold that against him. I was just saying it's boring to watch. The statement about him being like random XBL people was because he only zones, he doesn't even attempt to fight in close, perhaps I haven't seen him play enough.

And I don't think you've seen Wolfkrone play too much if all you've seen him do is spam j3. He does need to lay off the wake up df3 though.

I'd actually be okay with Static Shock. I'd actually be okay with anybody on that list except for Power Girl and Red Hood, the pair that will almost certainly contain the winner.

It's not like they'll actually make the DLC anyways, I guess. v:shobon:v

Where ds is Deathstroke, ags is air gunshot, lgs is low gunshot, and ss is sword spin (I think the db3 not the df3).

Sword Spin is db3, right, not df3?

If so, that needed some sort of buff, it was pretty much entirely useless.

I hope her teleport is good for catching zoners like smoke's was (along with his parry) but from the trailer it looks like you have to pick where it goes (far/mid/close) so it'd be kind of hosed up if there was a deadzone for it.

I wouldn't mind that, since it would be kind of unique. It's not like we don't have any teleporting zoner-punishing characters currently.

As long as it didn't end up like Shazam's teleport. That is so bad.
