I'm pretty sure he means the rock from the sky, and Ares might have to either MB b3 or maybe MB God Smack (that has armor, right?) if his dashes are too lovely.

Oh sorry, now it makes sense. Yeah you just have to dash it - either forward or backward.

Has anyone here gotten consistent with some of the tighter juggles in this game? Stuff like Doomsday's df2 MB, d2, b3 and Scorpion's f22u3, db3, b3 seem impractically difficult to go for in a real match.

I know the doomsday one is really inconsistent. Also the juggle ability of df2mb is affected by both character and what move you cancel out of. Game is weird like that.

Honestly with the the DD df2mb online I just follow with 3>air grab for the setups after. When tourney players are dropping the harder links constantly why take the risk?

MBGod Smack doesn't have armor last I checked. MB b3 works, that or dash forward/backward. If you can time a teleport on it at the right time you can catch him on a MBGod Smack for some combo-y goodness.

If we did a tourney like that it would take way too long. Unless you mean after or something.

Ok, so if we are really going to have one then we should have a time set for it. I could be down for it any time this Friday or Saturday but that's pretty short notice.

So I made this: http://challonge.com/InjusticeGoons

I just set it to 10pm CST because that's when I think I could be free to do a tourney any day. It can be changed to whatever date and time we can agree on.

Post some times and dates and let's blockspam each other online.

Oh man, people try to mirror match my catwoman all the time, like they actually think they know my character better than me. It's really fun when you know the exact distances for all your poo poo and they don't, so you're just barely standing out of range of everything they do, then doing a half step forward and hitting them with exactly what they whiffed with.

He did get a few hits off. He understood that I was using 3 as a low starter and B2 for the over head but he had no idea what to do when they connected. I should have just kept tiaring him, but I gave him a warriors death. :black101:

Kind of off topic, but I started watching Justice League/JLU on Netflix(which just got added recently) because of this show. It's why I brought up the Joker handbuzzer thing in my last post. So many characters that I want to see introduced in this game, and now, not later. Clayface, Killer Croc, Vandal Savage. Hell, even dudes I've never heard of before like Metamorpho. The sudden success of this game has me so excited for Injustice 2. They should basically just add like 30 dudes and smooth out the issues with this one and call it a day. Hell if I pay 60 bucks a year for a Call of Duty I might as well do it for a game with a buncha wicked awesome superheroes.


If they drop anyone except Scorpion I'll be mad, though.

edit: And Lobo I guess. Having seen the episode of Justice League with Lobo in it though, I totally get it now. I get it guys. I'm in on the joke now. I'm not rolling my eyes at the pixelated middle finger any more.

You should watch Batman: The Brave and the Bold too, because it's super good and also showcases a bunch of DC characters like JL does.

A lot of those should be background characters due to over-baturation of Bat characters, or they wouldn't be very unique like Vandal Savage who's power is... not dying. That being said, a gently caress ton more background characters and more iconic DC universe locations is noting but a good thing.

The second best Batman show. It also has the best Captain Marvel ever.

This is also my favourite kind of rage. I've been playing Doomsday a lot, and when people do the "I'LL SHOW YOUUUU" mirror match it almost always ends extremely badly for them, because they'll usually try to do nothing but dive.

The only mirror matches I ever get is with Deathstroke. For him, it's more of a "haha you forgot about this gun" sorta thing.

The few Scorpion Mirrors I've had were actually pretty tight and it came down to who could bait who the most.

I've never had a problem dashing forward, I usually use Grundy or Batgirl and neither of them seem to have much trouble doing that, but you run the risk of dashing into the normal version of the dive if you're not careful or paying attention.


I still haven't been able to cancel Batgirl's d2 into her bola while online. Which basically means I rely on her MB smokebomb thing way too much which quickly gets ugly for me once they actually block.

Against doomsday you're always safest around a full screen of range. Gives you time to react to MB venom, and the right spacing to do a forward dash when he dives and be guaranteed to not be hit, and able to punish. So against a bad doomsday (98% of them), stay at about a fullscreen away.

I bet it can be down blocked. It also looked like it would have trouble hitting you if you keep moving. Really liked the foot laser + trait combo that was going on though.

Swamp thing was like 5th or something, the third was Static if I remember right. Then I never saw who got #1 but yeah it was between Zatanna or Jason Todd RH.
