I'm not a Spanish expert but I think his shirt says Hard Penis.

It means hard rock or cliff.

EDIT: I'm Spanish didn't think it was a contextualized definition, my bad.

Ack Krad/Gasti you gave me a good thrashing. I'm giving up on Raven, I just can't put up with her poo poo!

For everyone else: How do you have the patience to play characters with slow lead-ups? I'm trying desperately to shift away from Catwoman but I just get really frustrated when my attacks have crap priority and I get put in the corner and smashed to pieces that I just go crawling on back. I think I have battered wife syndrome.

Sounds like you should give Doomsday a try. Still a brawler, can push back like no one else.

I guess it's a bit unfair to say Art hasn't embraced the game, he actually does a lot to hype it up. I was just surprised to see his Sinestro combos but I suppose you can't really blame him because sometimes the latency in this game is pretty bad.

I switched over from Sinestro to Superman (thanks EC for the video) and took him online getting a 12 game streak in ranked. Fun character, if he struggles against anybody it's (for me anyway) catwoman and other pure rushdown types and his wakeup isn't great but overall he's really solid. F23 xx breath so good.

Does anybody know if Alex Valle's GT is calipower? because I bodied a Harley with that name and he was from the US. Probably not him but fun to imagine my scrub rear end beating an OG like him.

He is calipower on Xbox but I've only ever seen him playing Flash or Joker, so I would guess that maybe someone else was playing with his login at Super Arcade or something.

Doomsday really doesn't play much like a heavy, in the sense that he can get in fairly easily between trait and his amazing forward dash, as well as MB Supernova if you're careful. Also, unlike most heavy characters, one of his biggest problems is that he doesn't have the best damage output, but he makes up for it by being able to bully people all over the map.

I was watching his stream the other day and he was training Flash in ranked when he accidentally picked Harley one game and got blown up for it, so that might have been him. I don't think he'd ever played the character before.

So I picked up a really hilarious way to gently caress with people who hide their character select cursor on reddit. Once you get to the stage select screen back out real quick and start moving from character to character. They'll move from their character thinking they were picking a stage and wont be able to hear the clicks as they move from one character to another. Kind of a dick move but I had a guy quit on me as a result so I'm calling it a success.

Yep, and yep I probably am. It's mostly harmless though since they can just show their cursor again and get their bearings.

I hate this "metagame" type poo poo. Players who immediately jerk the cursor to Deathstroke, then click click click along all the characters in the same row for thirty or forty seconds, then LOL RANDOM go all the way over to Shazam and sit on him for ten seconds, only to roll back to Deathstroke with two seconds left on the timer... OOOOHHHH MIND GAMES!

I can understand in a tourney situation when players know each other's styles and matchups really closely and personally, and often have pocket characters that they can pull out and do crazy things with, but online? Give me a break. I'll probably never play the same Ranked user twice...

What a horrible thread to have a post.
I used to do hidden character select. I main'd Bane and a lot of people simply did not know how to deal with him. If the person didn't quit after the first match, for the second match I would pick my second character - Black Adam - and destroy their gimmick Deathstroke (it was ALWAYS Deathstroke). After that, if they stayed, we tended to have decent matches. Unless their TrueSkill was above 25 - this was the magic number that meant I was going to be destroyed.

I'm also guilty of using hidden select on occasion. Playing a lame rear end zoning Superman is fun, but hidden select into lame rear end zoning Superman just feels better!

I've seen this happen in other fighting games, and it never makes much sense to me. It's like, I picked my character almost immediately, who are you trying to fool with making it look like you're going to pick someone else?

All of you guys are posting reasons I almost never get into ranked games. The main reason is that I would say half the time their connection is absolute dogshit and makes the game unplayable, the other reason is that playing some dude once teaches me absolutely nothing and most of the people playing ranked I can beat because half of them don't even block, which is supremely boring. Playing with goons is 5000x better, the other time is spent noodling around in practice or doing arcade mode or something.

I did do a player match KotH and get 8 wins in a row as Raven, though, it's really funny to see people start to drop out when you have 2 wins in a row, then basically everyone disappeared once I was at 4 wins, only one guy remained to play a few games.

Player match, ranked, survivor, and koth rankings are all separate.

That's stupid. I prefer Capcom's way of doing things in this regard. Whenever I fight someone, I have no idea if they're actually good players or not, not to mention that I have zero sense of progression by fighting in ranked if there are no tiers to speak of. :eng99:

If you go to the Leaderboards and sort by Friends or categories you can see how each mode has it's own Ranking system. This would be so hosed up and stupid if they were all merged.

I think you can tell who is defensive, offensive, etc purely by the character they play. Marvel is a bit different with the 3 man team thing but in this as soon as you hit the character select you know what you're up against.

Why would it be stupid? It's simple: ranked games count toward ranks, player games don't. There, simple.
