Celerity Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Kind of weird that this thread is more dead after release than it was before release. Thoughts? Experiences? I haven't picked it up yet because I was skeptical, but seeing a lot of gameplay has made me think it might actually be worth getting. I love that zoning is heavily emphasized, but most characters have the tools to get around it. I have heard very bad things about the netcode, though.
iw2ma Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Haha i've been on it sense Monday night. It's fun, lots of interesting characters and such. Netcode..... it isn't good enough. It's like everyone seriously needs to adopt Aksys or Namco netcode for their games, and that's it. Suck it up and buy that shit. Lots of character are interesting to play though, i likey. Early on though Flash has crazy pressure and a million safe strings that lead into friggin high damage. And Doomsday is retarded strong, like i can't believe some of the stuff they gave him. a 2 frame high low string? a pressure/combo string that leads to an unblockable grab you can't jump or backdash out of? wtf?
Raptor Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Playing for 2 days now without online experience and I'm still having trouble adapting to the system itself. Cant break 33% yet with my main, GL.
BladeOfJustice7 Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Superman is exactly what I thought he would be, a hybrid between Hakumen and Ky. Although I don't own the game (yet) I love the way he plays from my limited experience with him.
BlazGear Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 I've put up like a gazzlion combo videos since it came out lol
Tsuki Garyuu Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Good to know there's plenty of sweet combos you can make in the game. I'm a little confident in getting this now. Also, dat GG Korean soundtrack love.
YoYoCheese Posted April 24, 2013 Author Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) The first gameplay footage of Lobo is going to be shown this weekend at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo. EDIT: First screenshot of Lobo! EDIT 2: Lobo trailer! Edited April 27, 2013 by YoYoCheese
Primiera Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Just thought everyone should know, it's on sale at Toys R Us for $35 this week, starting today. If anyone cares what I think about it if you're on the fence: - Pretty zone-heavy, something like 21/24 characters have a projectile of sorts, but there are a lot of anti-zoning tactics and specials. The flow of the match is dictated mostly by meter and zoning, jumping, or some dirty character specific ways in on the opponent like full screen dive kick, safe slide into juggle on hit, etc. - Decent/sub-par net-code, there aren't traditional links for most characters so it's not a big deal but sometimes this game's input delay is terrible. Usually quite fine. - Lots of character diversity, and most characters are dirty in their own way. You will probably be able to find a character you like even if you're someone who's in perpetual character crisis mode. - Good community for the game at www.testyourmight.com, it's basically the www.shoryuken.com for MK/IJ. Even though it's zone-heavy and the lag can twist your pride like a knife, it's very fun and should have lots of longevity. Edited April 30, 2013 by Primiera
Celerity Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 There actually are a lot of links, but most of them are easy. I can't play Black Adam online though, 2-3F links are too tight and too necessary for his BnBs.
YoYoCheese Posted April 29, 2013 Author Posted April 29, 2013 Four new DLC outfit previews just went up on the official Facebook page.
SolxBaiken Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Hmm, I see OG Cyborg (like during his Titans years, early Justice League), The Animated Series Harley, and Odyssey Wonder Woman (which would be more hype if Wonder Woman wasn't so awful -looking- in this game) Not 100% sure on bottom left.
SoWL Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 So, Cyborg, classical Harley, and, uhh, Deathstroke and Wonder Woman?
Celerity Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 I see boobs in the 3rd pic, but then again, I see boobs in everything.
Starlight777 Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Can't believe they are releasing the best Harley costume so early. That dlc is definitely on my list.
iw2ma Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 The bottom left IS Deathstroke. It's more like one of his Ninja-esque costumes.
Kyosuke Kagami Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Cool, Deathstroke gets the costume a lot of "DC newbies" know. The one he has as "Slade" in Teen Titans
TekkamanArk Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 For anyone that lives in the US, Toys R Us is selling this game for $35 this week online and in store.

I can't play Black Adam online though, 2-3F links are too tight and too necessary for his BnBs. Is that just with Black Adam's trait? Interesting! It is my understanding that in normal cases you literally cannot link in this game, even if you're +9,001 frames and your move has 1 frame start-up. Something to do with preventing infinites without a hit-stun deterioration system (only gravity scaling) or real push-back on normals. AFAIK everything unrelated to traits is all a juggle in this game, though technically they are links if you go into semantics. The only other ground links I can think of are those related to traits, and those are rare indeed. Killer Frost's trait can force combos due to freezing, and Grundy has an undodgeable trait grab after one of his overheads that's a guaranteed 31% reset, no jumping or reversals allowed - yes, that's as dumb as it sounds, and I'm sure it will get patched eventually. So stupid ... he gets near 60% off of most things due to that reset. Edited April 30, 2013 by Primiera

Yeah, you can't just link any random normals, but juggles are still links. Depending on the juggle proration, you get less and less time to pick the enemy up over the course of the combo, so it can be tight towards the end. Lots of characters have ~3F links somewhere within their BnBs, usually off of prorated B3s and F3s. I found a 1F link that I will definitely never use. Tough links exist, they're just not usually worth the difficulty for an extra 1%.
SoWL Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 How can you link something with Black Adam's trait when it doesn't cause hit stun?
Celerity Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 How can you link something with Black Adam's trait when it doesn't cause hit stun? You use the trait to cancel recovery on his normals, and for some reason, the game is okay with letting you link stuff after this.
AirMaster Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 So...got the game the other day. How do you change the control style to SF?
