Will you hate reading everyone talk about DLC characters for a few days to a week after release? Will you grimace knowing your character select is missing a few slots? Yeah, I'll probably end up biting the bullet and hoping that Scorpion's name was just a placeholder kinda thing. Can't wait to try out Babs, definitely want to main her.

Any tips on landing B3 in combos during online play? I play Sinestro and it seems like landing his B3 after a shackles is basically a 50/50 to actually come out on time.

Is the season pass a limited time thing? I love this game enough to buy it but I'm curious about the last two characters. Can anyone say anything about Lobo being fun to play? I don't care about early tier lists, I'm just interested in how fun it is to play as him. Videos don't always translate the "feel" well.

If every other season pass is to go by, you can buy it whenever. They won't take down the pass bundle even when it's all released. Lobo feels a little slow? I am by no means a player that is developing their own combos and such, but I just found I got poked out of everything with Lobo.

Ok, now that I've played every stage a bunch I can finally just vote Atlantis every single time. Hands down the best stage for Flash, I catch zoners (especially Black Adam) offguard all the time by sliding on the tubes.

I have very rarely seen them get used where the person using them wasn't immediately punished for it. And Atlantis is really bad for gadget characters, the globe/plaque and the aquariums on the side both favor power characters really heavily. As a gadget you should be voting for Gotham City's Alley or Watchtower, to take advantage of the transitions/interactables.

When some characters get a reprieve from getting rushed down they'll almost certainly try to poke with their ranged attacks, and if I time it right I can fly right over it and attack them from behind before they can recover. As Flash I want people in the corner as much as possible so no transitions is a benefit, and I have ways of punishing people if they're making their way to the water. That or I can usually get out of the way in time. If they MB it for armor so be it, it's a sacrifice I'll gladly take for such a small map with no transitions. Also Flash should never get hit by an intractable thrown by a heavy, ever. I'm at the point where I phase and punish ~75% of the time.

Flash basically gets free transitions with his trait, and the fact you move so fast allows you to very quickly take advantage of any other interactables that pop up. To each his own, I guess, but personally I feel like all my worst matches happen in Atlantis. Symmetry is boring! E: Are you guys sure about the whole gadget/acrobat/power thing?

A good Flash will get 40-50% damage every time they activate their trait anyway, I prefer being able to consistently keep people in the corner rather than having the option of doing some unclashable damage. I'm still improving so that could change, though! For me, "taking advantage of the interactables" has become waiting for other people to use them so I can phase -> lightning charge before they hit the ground. Obviously if it works out that I'm able to throw them inbetween attacks that's great but you should never really actively try to get to something, most characters have ways of punishing such.

I've found that pipe to be the best part about Atlantis on many occasions. Nothing nicer than a way to quickly close the gap. gannyGrabber posted:But you're squandering your potential!

To each his own, I guess, but personally I feel like all my worst matches happen in Atlantis. Symmetry is boring! I like the symmetry of the level, because no other levels have any. The corners are great for any character type to both get in and out of, the globe/slab are also very useful tools. When I play a power character I throw them pretty early, but If I'm playing an acrobat, I use them later to throw off my opponent from my movements. The pipe is a great thing to have on your side if the enemy doesn't expect it, and the throne itself is a pretty good way to tack a little more damage on.

And that's just the stuff that made it to print, mind you. This was the best part of Infinite Crisis, and neatly echoed Superman punching a hole in time eight years prior in DC 1,000,000. It was everything else that sucked about Infinite Crisis.

I thought acrobats leapt off the stone slab and snow globe with jump kicks but I see now how they just use it for spacing. Same deal with gadget characters. Neither classes blow up anything there and both go for the valve instead of punching the glass.

Same deal with gadget characters. Neither classes blow up anything there and both go for the valve instead of punching the glass. Hold down when interacting with the stone slab and probably the globe too with bomb equipped characters. Most of them hold red dynamite that you can see them holding during their jump animation, though Nightwing and probably others have different colored bombs. If you don't hold down you won't plant a bomb and blow up the jumpable object. I know for a fact that the slab can be bombed. When using objects that have no bomb interaction like the laser in Watchtower, all gadget characters will behave identically. It's only when a bomb is involved that they branch off, and for jump-off objects like the Atlantis slab bomb-carrying gadget characters can opt not to plant bombs. sentrygun fucked around with this message at 03:27 on May 16, 2013 |
