Try any string that cancels into his gas kick special and land a b3 off of that. Rest is up to you.


I've made a huge mistake.

We were trying to work that gas can in.

Best we got was 32 xx bbMB,323

Joker's parry blocks overhead attacks including the armored version of b3 or f3.

I would, but I don't have PMs. If a mod reads this would you mind fixing my typo in the title. "Amung" should be "Among."


Yeah, I try to MB all of those gas cans because they are all great on MB. Try 32xx Kick-gasMB j2 32xxflower. Should be a pretty decent damage and you might be able to MB that flower. If that doesn't work end it with a MBCrowbar or pistol.


And a bit of Ares knowledge to throw out, his j1 catches most air based moves. If you find yourself in the air at the same time, just press 1 and get ready to catch them before they hit the ground. An intercepting j1 112xxb4 is a great combo to go invisible, MB God Smack, or Teleport from. Similarly, j1 112xxb4,d can be combo'd out of if your fast enough with a dashing 112xx4, putting you at roughly mid-screen. Pretty much another perfect set-up for going invisible, God Smacking, or teleporting.

Something we noticed when I was practicing Ares was that his God Smack can get intercepted really easily. Fibby's Joker was knocking me out of the air left and right.

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.

Air teleport.

EDIT: I think most Raven players don't bother using her trait because it takes so long to activate. It wasn't until last night that I learned you can activate her trait in the air. That made it a lot more feasible or me to use.

Picked this game up the other day, just beat story mode, going through the battles now. I don't play much of fighting games online as I suck at them (except MK, I was ok at it...not great, but ok) but the single player is still pretty fun. I do hate Harley Quinn's redesign with a burning passion though. I spent $4 on a skin pack just to make her not look like a clown themed prostitute.

I suck too and hate fighting game people because they are no fun and send you mean messages about being a friend of the family human being jew when you win/lose. The 360 goon population is great. They will help you not suck so much and you will have fun.

Why has the FGC suddenly a symbol of everything that's bad in this thread? We like to be competitive and play the game on a high level, that's not the same as calling you a jew when we lose. Guess what, people who bought the game just because the Joker is on the cover will also call you bad names when they get mad. It has nothing to do with whether they're a "fighting game player" or not.

The giant stick up your rear end over a tongue in cheek post is pretty much the reason. Believe it or not, people play game for different reasons. I'm not a competitive gamer, I like co-op or single player games. I don't know if Joker is the same, but from his post and recognizing him from BSS, I thought I would let him know that the goons playing this game are not assholes, will actually take the time to help people who suck get better at the game and make the multiplayer component fun.

Except you. You are the stereotype.

Hey, did anyone more casual with the game on XBL wanna play around later? I won't be off work until 3pm MST, but if you want, you can add my tag. It's HonorableThief.

I love playing with the hardcore people here, but sometimes it feels like I watch for 10 minutes to get annihilated in 10 seconds.

<----GT Add me. If I'm dicking around in Skyrim I'll take a break to play. If it's late night/early morning and I'm in Netflix, I'm probably sleeping.

Didn't mean to insult anyone here last night, nor did I mean to put anyone down for being competitive. I have not played against a single goon who has been anything less than helpful. This is a great community for getting casual people who usually just want to spam special moves or throws (me in every previous fighting game) to actually learn how to play. You guys rock, seriously.

My one-worders are 'embarrassing' or 'shameful', and if I have my keyboard control plugged in I send them a 'go home and be a family man'. I get lots of swear rants in return.

Does anybody have Raven experience? I played a few matches with her earlier and came out even. I find her db2 is hard to hit with, but I suppose that's because it's way better than the df2.

I figure her strategy is something along the lines of defensive zoning play, and then a shift into offense when your trait is up? She's basically just like P4A's Aegis. I should play her more often.

Currently maining Raven. I suck though. f222 xxdb2 is her go to combo. If you meter burn it, they are going to bounvce high enough that you can do a j1 or 2, can't remember which, into f222 again. What I usually do is MB the grab then follow up with a df2 to catch them before they hit. db2 should be your reflex whenever someone jumps or you upper cut them.

Her real danger is in using her trait, something I neglected because activating it gets your rear end kicked. A kind good then informed me that you can activate it in the air!

I'm pretty casual and don't do fighting games much. I just bought the game for Wonder Woman. So I'm not that good but I don't get why people get upset over it. It just boggles my mind.

I think I'm getting a little better every day with her though. And yes grabs get me all the time! But they tend to also get my opponents so it works out.


Okay. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't doing anything wrong that's considered bad showmanship in a fighting game.

Thanks!

I'm super casual too, just play with goons more often. I still suck, but I am much better than when I started. I've also taken a step back to make sure I get the basics down like blocking and punishing instead of focusing on combos that I don't have the skills to pull off. The goon community is very accepting to casual players like us and, since winning by blow out gets boring, they will help you get better. :)

Won a bunch of ranked matches as Joker this afternoon. I lost many more, but still. IMPROVING!

The best thing is that, now when I lose, I can see why and usually figure out what I need to do to correct it. I'm still having trouble getting in on Deathstrokes, which is weird because I had no issues when using Raven.
