I keep reading on the TestYourMight forums that Batman is a "noob character" and unviable in tournaments and stuff. Should I stick with Batman and get better or is he just bad/broken/lame and switch to a new character to learn that I like, like Aquaman/Joker/Nightwing.

Where are you reading any of this? Batman is probably the best or 2nd best character in the game. If you like playing him keep playing him, if you don't then pick someone you like better. Stop worrying about what some random scrubs think.

E: holy crap, looking at your other posts in this thread you're way too neurotic about what character you should play and whether they're too cheap/easy/lovely/imbalanced. Just play characters. It doesn't matter.

Yes, drop Batman right now and switch to and learn The Joker.

This game needs more good Jokers.

I was just getting tired of hatemail (even when I lose and get my rear end kicked..:???:), and I read a lot of this on the general discussion in the Batman section of TestYourMight.

Also if we get Swamp Thing, does that mean more Veritgo characters like Constantine would be playable?

Man I really wanted Swamp Thing. This game needs more big characters, I would pay so much money for a playable Gorilla Grodd.

Assuming that the color mean poo poo, I see two outcomes: the third place is RH, second Zatanna and first SS or third place SS, second RH, and Zatanna first. Obviously I would like for Jason to win but second or third place ain't too shaby.

It depends on who ask, I like him for being a tragic character searching redemption but as far as I know, he got a prett large female fanbas that found him irresistible for being misunderstood and handsome :v:

That's my BnB. You can cancel into the df2MB to clear some shooting room. His 3231df1 is a pretty good bet to. B1 is another good move to cancel from due to its quick-low style.

I have yet to do it online but bounce-canceling, dbMB, into j2 b23f2 is a great way to keep with your zoning.

Fan forums are mostly poo poo. Play what you like and what you're good at. That could even be multiple characters.

Everybody knows the only true noob character is The Flash. :flashfact:

Batman is viable as hell in 'tournaments and stuff'. He's definitely a great character all-around. The hitbox on his J2 IS bullshit though, it extends way past where his foot is actually hitting.

If Red Hood Robin makes it into the game, I will actually never believe in mankind ever again. Unless they pull a fast one on us and it actually turns out to be Shang Tsung/Clayface in disguise. That would be awesome.

Pretty much, if you've ever read or even watched Under the Red Hood, it's really easy to hate Jason because he does the most scummy poo poo and then tries to justify his lovely actions, but the fanbase makes him out to be this troubled character and it's huge because he's basically the Sasuke of Robin's.

Yeah, this is the one thing that makes me really dislike Bats. It makes it really hard to block too, especially online. I can never tell where that drat foot is going to land.

Dude the infinite was due to meterless MB and combo reset via whiffed normal. It needed fixing.

If Doom/Mags/whoever else in Marvel 3 had infinites that were as easy to pull off as Batgirl's, they'd probably be banned too. Probably just the combos, not the characters themselves, but yeah.

Actually they may not have fixed it? I went online and everything. Sometimes they fall out but I'm doing 3 reps of the bola loop without meter as long as you don't start with just the bola.

edit: Was the hotfix for PS3 or xbox? I figured it would have been straight to an ini since I didn't download anything on my PS3.

MB fix apparently needs a full patch. All the hotfix did was make it so it's not an infinte.

For some reason in single player training it was showing as "unblockable" but in online training mode the MB version of bola now hits mid. So yeah, guess it's fixed.

edit: I'll prob join some rooms this week (not tonight). I'm out of practice due to Dragon's Dogma lol.

I'm curious, if you leave Joker to idle for a few seconds does he shave his helmet with his knife like he does to his face when he's in any of his non-Red Hood alts?

Cus that would be pretty stupid but also kind of glitchy and a little funny.
