Release day. Hmm let's see according to my Amazon tracking information my copy is somewhere called "Pasiphaë, Fifty-Third Moon Of Jupiter" but I'm sure it will be fine when I get home from work.

If you have prime it'll be there today. I've never ever had a prime game preorder not show up on release day

I preordered in January and mine doesn't get here until Thursday. You'd think living right at Atlanta would maybe make this easy but nope. I've never gotten a game on release day.

Do you have Prime though, or just Amazon.

I'm loving Darkseid. He zones like a loving champ, but he has the tools to deal if they do get close.

Supergirl is a very good, all-rounder character, but you should play a character you like the look of. Play the tutorial, then play the character specific tutorial for Scarecrow and then play some matches with him.

By the way, I just want to point out those character specific tutorials are awesome. I hope they do that in all their future games.

No, as with Jackie and Deathstroke before, scrubs don't understand how to get around projectile characters in NRS games. Mainly the fact that you have to duck and not block, wait and dash.

Hahaha like that time Deathstroke won an entire tournament spamming guns early in Injustice 1's release. It's lucky the whole field at a fighting game tournament was scrubs

Double Bill posted:

Deadshot just recovers way too quickly. IIRC in Inj1 you could dash between Deathstroke's shots, making him a lot less cancerous (and he was still nerfed). Against Deadshot you just have to block and move forward an inch at a time, which sucks. And he can immediately put you at fullscreen again with MB shotgun.

You had to have a perfect connection to be able to get in on a spamming Deathstroke. The window was way too tight.

Edit: Again, I remind the thread that Deathstroke won an actual big tournament early in IJ1's life by a Deathstroke gun spamming guy. With the entire leadup being the thread "pros" constantly telling everyone they were big babies for not being able to effortlessly own Deathstrokes.

It's fun and easy to make fun of people whining about Spam but there's a nugget of truth in peoples complaints specifically with NRS games.

It's not fun or interesting to get around zoning in the game at all. Fireball wars aren't a thing, so even in matchups between two zoners you end up with one of them doing nothing but The Get In On NRS Fireballs game, because the character who gets even the slightest favorable trade out of a projectile exchange completely invalidates the other characters projectiles and they're left doing the block and scoot for 10 seconds before they get close enough to threaten with anything meaningful.

What's weird is they basically "fixed" this in MKX with the run and I don't really see a good reason why they wouldn't put it in this game other than to have an arbitrary thing differentiating them.

I think you'd have to use the stamina meter if you used the run, and they definitely want you to be throwing things and throwing people INTO things a lot more in this game.

I'm actually kind of surprised the roll costs 2 bars. 1 seems sufficient.

Also on a positive note I just want to say my Batman looks baller in the Noir shader and dressed up like Batman Beyond. Was definitely pleasantly surprised to find those gear pieces. On a less positive note, I just realized all the gear dress-up is useless with Premier skins who are locked into a single appearance. :smith:

I've seen some sicknasty Scarecrow outfits in videos, one was a hood with a voodoo-style skull plate and stitched leather chestpiece and the other was a fedora, raggedy long coat and plague doctor's mask that was creepy as gently caress. His sets are incredible.

The Demon Shader looks loving great on all his stuff too.

So if the boss mission is 30/30 I'm just out of luck for it? I just got 20 on my first character last night

It would be way cooler if Aquaman talked to fish. I don't get why that's a running gag where characters make fun of him for stuff, having a bunch of magical realism ocean friends is a cool superpower.

Outside of the ocean he has super strength which is like the bare minimum baseline requirement for the Justice League (Batman gets a pass without it because he has sick blackmail info on all of them)

It also doesn't help that Aquaman's orange mesh and green pants design looked real stupid.

At least Darkseid looks badass even if a cartoon is ruining him

Gaz-L posted:

It's also weird because you don't get the same amount of jokes about Namor over at Marvel. And the literal only difference between them is the fish talking thing. And Namor compensates for that by being able to fly because he has itty bitty wings on his feet.

They also don't constantly try to cram Namor down readers' throats like Aquaman which is a big difference.

That's only because they made him a mutant and don't have movie rights to him.

Namor is Marvel's first superhero. They'd be pushing the hell out of him if they had movie rights.

Nah even in the past before comic movies were a thing, he's show up and sometimes be on an Avengers squad but he wasn't in places he didn't belong, and he was generally in squads where super strength actually filled a niche the team needed.
