I bet Brainiac summons the zombie dudes from the last trailer for his trait.

He looks cool. I like the looks of those tentacle normals.

Any guesses to his trait?

Looks like a counter move super?

He also summons a parademon dude at the end it looks like.

What's this I'm reading about Black Adam having two traits?

Edit: Oh, lame it's a gear thing. He can get Shazam's trait through gear. Another cool thing that's never going to get played with 😣

I hope we get some New Gods. They're very underrepresented for how cool they are, they're like the opposite of The Inhumans.

I'm also impressed at how not lovely they made Starfire's face.

I hope Red Hood keeps up the trend of NRS DLC characters being strong so he's ubiquitous at tournaments.

So wait, do you get all dlc characters if you buy the deluxe editions or do you just get those three (plus darkseid)?

All 9.

It is very funny to me that this is a fighting game based on a franchise filled with thousands of cool and unique characters that have every type of power you can imagine and we're still getting at least two Mortal Kombat characters on the roster lmao


Kurtofan posted:

actually no, there's the deluxe edition that gets you the first pack and a premier skin and the ultimate edition that gets you everything.

Ah, whoops. I thought Deluxe was the primo 100+ dollar one. My bad.

Please don't put Raiden in this game.

WarEternal posted:

Silhouettes like that for the last two games have never been deliberately misleading, like Black Manta would definitely be Black Manta, at worst they've just not been very distinguishable.


We got Alien instead of the sword arm guy in MKX even though the silhouette showed the latter.

To be fair there's like an infinite number of ways Red Hood could play. Sinestro and Green Lantern played way differently from each other in IJ1 even though they have basically the exact same superpower. I can't imagine Red Hood will be too similar to anyone in play style.

I know there's a meme on SA about Red Hood being lame but I'd rather have a billion more Batman characters than MK guys.

fadam
Apr 23, 2008

Batman rules and the Batfamily features some of the best characters in comics. Mortal Kombat was lame until 2015.

How many of you are going to go with the gear that looks the best instead of using it for gameplay benefits?

Me, but mostly because ranked doesn't use gear stats/abilities and I probably won't play anything other than that and local mp after the first few days.

Is it okay for flying characters like Superman and Starfire to bother me? I don't like how they are always flying but hovering a foot of the ground at all times

Nah, I think it looks pretty dumb. I honestly don't know why they do it, Shazam was grounded in IJ1 and he looked awesome.

https://www.twitch.tv/netherrealm Watchtower stream is live, talking about the Multiverse stuff if you're into that.

fadam
Apr 23, 2008

I normally don't care about SP fighting game stuff, but this Multiverse stuff they're showing off looks rad. There are bosses in the Multiverse that you can equip specific gear to deal with (Kryptonite versus Kryptonians etc.), and each battle can have challenges (like "don't uppercut") that you can do to get an XP bonus.

I don't have a PS+ sub so I'm worried if I can play multiverse or not.

Also green arrow has arsenal's trucker hat as a headpiece lol

Someone's going to be happy about that.

EDIT: lmao there's a modifier where Orange Lanterns show up randomly and make zones that give you dollarydoos if you stand in them.

OTHER EDIT: lmao there's a mode where penguin waddles around and shoots rockets at people

lmao there's an AI Battle Sim where you make geared ghosts and they fight other people for loot.

It's amazing how much SP/casual content is in this game, but the rest of the competitive stuff didn't seem to suffer for it. Capcom needs to take notes.

fadam
Apr 23, 2008

Just a bunch of multiverse stuff and this AI Battle Sim (you gear up ghosts and have them fight other people's teams for gear and cash). No character walkthroughs, but they did mention specifically that they're going to do Darkseid later.

EDIT: This tournament mode sounds really smart.

fadam
Apr 23, 2008

They said they balanced him to the rest of the cast. He seems fairly slow and they mentioned he doesn't have a great high low game, so we'll see I guess.

EDIT: His fireball hits high which is pretty lame :( I hate in NRS games how like 90% of the fireballs are duckable.

Fireballs being duckable are actually really good. If you want a shooter pretending to be a fighting game just play ARMS when it comes out.

the only time a character should have a high fireball is if they also have a low fireball and the rest of Sagat's moves too

god Multiverse sounds fun. Say what you will about some design choices, these MK nerds do wanna have fun at least, and in a field where so many of the games take themselves maybe too seriously that's just welcome.

It's not like they sacrificed anything for it either. There's a very robust, competitive game in the middle of everything, and their netcode is fantastic.

I'm not as down on SF V as other people on this forum (although I barely watch it and I haven't played it in over a year so maybe I am), but I feel like short of completely gutting it and re-releasing it (which they specifically said they're never going to do) there's nothing they can do to fix it.

More and more people at my weekly are picking up Xrd, and I'm hoping that people will start to play Injustce and Tekken when they come out too.
