Superfriends is to blame, but then again Superfriends made Darkseid look lame so really its a wonder the reputation stuck with Fishman.

Darkseid is incredibly lame.



He named himself Darkseid, and he's a math nerd.

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.

RE: what boxes to buy, apparently you can go infinite if you have enough level 20 characters. Sell value increases with level requirement and a guy posted about opening thousands of bronze boxes and having more credits than he started with. Not sure what all he was selling though.

Yeah ever since they started doing chapter style story modes in MKvsDC they've always had a few dudes who didn't get a chapter.

Only about 3 characters classified as villains get chapters.

if/when DC and WB decides to take another crack at a Green Lantern film, I hope they find a way to get Atrocitus in there because this dude owns and I didn't know who he was until the game. dude is just a really hamfisted rep for an angry club of guys and gals who like to punch poo poo and vomit acidblood.

Atrocitus is actually the guy who is responsible for Hal Jordan getting his ring (he kills the previous Green Lantern of Earth's sector), so working him in wouldn't be too difficult.

holy poo poo he killed Abin Sur? Never knew that, that's wild.

It's a recent retcon, but yeah.

Atrocitus and his imprisoned buddies are the ones who put all the ideas about Blackest Night and death prophecies in Abin Sur's head that lead to his paranoia about using his ring and eventually his death when he tries to bring Atrocitus to show him where Earth is.

They adjusted the way they design female characters with MKX and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive, so that probably played as big a part as anything else.

There's a .85x AI Score Modifier if you use it, but otherwise nothing for using an AI fighter as far as I saw.

The AI also won't attempt to do any of the in-fight objectives which with the .85 multiplier usually means they won't get you to Gold.

Press the loadout button (Square on PS4, presumably X on Xbox) and choose one of your AI loadouts.

If you follow the level recommendations of the tower they should reliably win as long as a modifier isn't too crippling.

All of Black Canary's gear looks the same but she's my fave so far. I'm awful at fighting games but I've managed to figure out a few combos on my own (not just following the listed ones) with her - all of her attacks seem to flow together so well. I'm also levelling Supergirl because I like her but she seems a lot harder to combo with as a complete scrub.

There seems to be a ton of variations on the body suit but the jacket mostly covers it up.

The arrows have different commands. DF4, DB4, and DD4.

You block throws by pressing throw yourself just as they grab you. But some characters have what are called command throws which are done by regular special move inputs (hence "command") and can be blocked normally, but not broken out of like a regular throw if they grab you.

Nearly all specials have a meter burn. Most likely you're not doing it at the right point in the move. Some need to be on impact, some can only be before impact, etc. for example GA's arrow shot is burned while holding the arrow still to turn it into a boxing glove arrow. His slide is burned on contact for an extra hit, a knock back I think? Most of the time meter burns add a knock or early escape from the animation for combo opportunity. Some simply add damage though.
