Zod looks pretty good, but I can't get over him looking down at his own feet and firing a laser there. That is the worst place to fire lasers.

Won a bunch of ranked matches as Joker this afternoon. I lost many more, but still. IMPROVING!

The best thing is that, now when I lose, I can see why and usually figure out what I need to do to correct it. I'm still having trouble getting in on Deathstrokes, which is weird because I had no issues when using Raven.

We may be the same person, I use Grundy though. gently caress Deathstroke. The worst part is there are so many lovely Deathstrokes that artificially raise your confidence level, but then you get someone halfway competent and they just loving wreck me. Green Lantern is also a problem for me personally, which is weird because Grundy vs Lantern seems like it should be somewhat even but I just don't don't have the skill or know how to even scare a GL.

Also God drat if only I could stop dropping Grundy's incredibly easy combos while online. I can't imagine trying to combo with someone requiring precise timing.

You should probably try Doomsday. Body Splash into 3 3 is pretty much the most complicated combo you need to know. Also Supernova gives no fucks about Deathstroke's guns. Good Luthor players wreck me though, Luthor's trait is pretty much Doomsday's #1 weakness.

That's because Aquaman is a noob character that plays himself, obviously.

Your trait beats luthors. His armor disappears after a set number of hits. Luthor can wakeup corpse charge but that's punishable with a 123xxtackle on block from doomsday. Luthor can try and drop traps but only from full screen, if you see him throwing out a satellite or trap, you should tackle on reaction to the animation. Luthor generally can't do a whole lot against doomsday pressure when dooms gets in and his zoning is risky at best. I really think that isn't a horrible match for doomsday.

Grundy vs GL is bad for grundy imo so it isn't just you. GL actually has a projectile that beats corpse walk if used smart (minigun) and GL is perfectly capable of running away and punishing grundys wiffs or careless dashes. Grundy was really good in the first two weeks but now that people are figuring the game out he's kinda hitting a plateau, same with doomsday imo.

I second this. Grundy is still fun to play, but his style is so straight forward that after some experience against him anyone can beat him. Grundy Mirror Matches are still super fun, unless both Grundy's are just doing the hand thing.

I'm glad to see Bane just keeps getting more and more intense as the game matures. I personally can't get him down, but whenever I fight against one it's nothing short of awesome. He just keeps living up to my expectations of a Drug Lord Luchador. I think they should contact the Saints Row guys and get a Killbane outfit for him.

Is it just me or does this game have an inordinate amount of ragequitters? I'm decidedly below average but it feels like every fourth guy needs to pull the plug while waiting for Batman's 15 second super animation to play out and kill them. On PSN.

There's also quite a few people who create new PSN ID's seemingly just to ensure they have a better win loss record Level 9 characters with 10w 0L 45 quits etc.

I have one starred all of Star Labs. It really was not worth it and I shall never ever three star it.

Things I learned:
Any fight vs Lex Luthor has a 95% chance of being annoying and gimmicky. Especially if it involves his shield or cyborg.
Fighting games aren't made for stealth missions.

Nor should they be platformers of any form. I actually refuse to do anymore of the STAR Labs because of how overtly frustrating it is. I was hoping for something closer to Mortal Kombat's Challenge Tower, but nope.

Zod is looking pretty sweet and I can't wait to give him a shot. Or to shoot my feet with his laser, which ever happens first.

Instead of STAR labs we should have gotten a cool Ergheiz style beat-em up, I don't know why but I'm a sucker for those things.

Seems like the nerf of making his teleport a high and -27 (I believe) on block did the trick.

Hey enormous character Bane, avoid getting hit by the aggressive Flash that loves to use his slowdown for like 30 seconds, but be sure to run up and grab him like 5 times for that star. :haw:

I have 3 stars for all his other missions, but that one was seriously giving me a headache after the millionth try, so I settled for 2 stars until I can muster the strength to finish it and get his little "All 3 Star" portrait.

Same on xbox live. People hate being zoned and pull the plug after the first round. then again, they also hate getting rushed down and quit after the first round.

Genuinely never seen as much ragequit as this game, one in four easily.

That depends on what you consider good. By good do you mean people who know their character and use all their tools well or good as in "I know the basic Superman combo that does absurd damage and I'm gonna use it non-stop." Because the latter is what you'll find in ranked most of the time from my (Limited) experience.

(Ranked sucks)

Also in rooms you can direct challenge guys around what you consider your level as well, if waiting in King of the Hill or Survivor isn't your thing.

I personally really enjoy ranked mode. It has its share of quitters, but that's the same in most any mode. I also don't know if it's a longer wait for matches on PSN than on XBL but I can usually get paired up within a minute.

On PSN sometimes you'll get a match within a couple minutes, other times it'll just hang there for ages until you finally get a match. Having seen people playing on 360 and getting matches near instantly, I really have no idea how the PSN ranked matchfinder is so much more gimped.
