Fortunately with him, you do not worry about getting to them you bring them to you.
Log kick and and your in ground sweep keep your opponent on their toes long enough to give then a push in the back or to vine grab them to you.

From a non-competitive player, I'd say his regular projectile is fast and builds meter and shpuld be the cornerstone of your gameplab. His trait projectile is even faster and super hard hiting. That's where you start. Throwing in the orb projectile or the down back 3 every now and again will change the rhythm/what they are watching for. But yeah, most of my resources are built with and spent on projectiles.
Down back 2 can keep folks out/push 'em back. It is great on its own or to end a combo while getting you back in your preferred zone.
Back 1, down 3, up 3 is a great mixup combo from medium range. Forward 2, up 3, forward 2, up 3 isn't a mixup but has good distance and can push opponents back. 2, 1, 1, 3 also ends with a bit of pushback.
Maybe that'll help?

Me too (on the first point). He's a major reason I bought the game. He's the best thing in Final Crisis!
Shocking gear selection though.
Thanks man, I'm no competitive player either. Just looking for some basic advice so that helps. I appreciate it.
Once I get Swampy to 20 tonight Robin is my next project.
He looks kind of fun.
Also I saw an outfit that looks very Azrael -ish
God I love this game. But I have always been trash at fighting games, and nothing frustrates me more.
Why do I have to suck at this beautiful game
Yeah, fighting games make me question myself. I spend a shitload of time playing them and I'm still consistently terrible. Which makes me sad but I keep playing.
No genre of game frustrates me more. And don't get me wrong, it's not the game's fault at all. It's just these combos and the timing you have to execute them infuriates me so much I can't even begin to explain.
Doctor Fate's j+3 is great too (great for crossing up, and buying you time to think). I spam the shit out of orbs. You can mb them as well to get them to freeze on screen and allow you to spam df+1 for a while (by creating a barrier to block them-the orb). Also remember to use your trait. I sometimes neglect it.
Your super has a little armor so learn to time it right. For example if they are starting a move you can figure out that you have x amount of time to catch em in your trap basically. He's so much fun for me. My main obviously.
Also use df+2 (or df+2b to position behind you) to heal as needed.

Same. I actually know the buttons and remember the combos, but I can't pull them off 9 out of 10 times. No matter how hard I try, I am never consistent.
YEP.
I never blame the game, I know I'm fucking up but there's very clearly something I'm not getting, something that isn't registering and I'm not leveling up. I keep trying though. Love it.
I suggest spending time in practice mode or 2p vs (so you can level up too) and pin the moves to the screen and practice until you can hit em consistently. Also try to limit yourself to 2 to 3 characters at most until you are a fucking monster with each. 1 is best, but it's really hard when this game has so many cool characters to choose from.

This is fucking infuriating.
I just did the wonder woman multiverse challenge, level'd her up to 11, beat lvl 20 cheetah which boosted me to lvl 12...got every single piece of epic gear (matching the movie outfit)
and now its all gone. the game has me back at level 4 with old gear.
WHAT THE FUCK

You have to restart your console (apparently). Possibly multiple times.

I beat that Multiverse Scarecrow boss manually using Level 20 Swamp Thing. I mostly used Heavy jumping attacks and Heavy sweeping attacks.

Deadshot AI. Never took my first life bar. He's actually at 100% win ratio...
Destroyed him with my lvl20 batman.

oh my god, that worked. thank you so much lol
Took my AI a few tries, Catwoman and Scarecrow didn't come close. Eventually beat him with Harley. He was tough
I know exactly what you mean. Fighting games intimidate me even though I always play them. It doesn't matter how much I learn a simple to do combo in training mode, but in a real match with either the AI or online, I swear I forget everything I learned in training. That alone infuriates me more than anything.

I asked this earlier, too, but didn't get an explanation. And scouring the web has produced no results.

Hopefully someone responds, I just want to know if there is a way to break armor or if it's permanent for the fight.

I'm still flipping through the roster atm until Red Hood. So far I have only tried Superman, Bane, Atrocitus, Darkseid and Firestorm.
double jump
you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
Has anyone​ found some decent Cheetah gear? Her options are so bad it's like they're pushing you towards the Vixen skin. Which is fine but I would have liked some better base options.
That's fair. If they buffed everyone else's D2 then I wouldn't complain so much. My friend and I were just laughing our asses off at how much reach his D2 has haha. He was at the highest arc of his jump and BA's D2 just bopped him into a juggle state despite not directly hitting the opponent or even coming anywhere close to it. I've never had a higher success rate of connecting anti-airs before until I chose Black Adam lol.

Yeah the motherboxes give you loot leveled to when you earned them, ie never save loot boxes.
Sent my AI lvl.20 Robin with all Epic gear in and he got destroyed 10+ times. Sent my AI lvl.20 Batman with three Epics and the rest Rare and he beat him on the first attempt.
So I should've just waited until I was a higher level? Feels bad.
Trials, my bad.

I remember hearing something about the 3rd of june for Red Hood's release? Seems strange considering it's a saturday.,
Want to main the guy so..

Canary and Harley for me. Harley was my main in the first game but I kind of love how Canary plays. I also try to learn a ton of characters, the process is fun for me.
Under Single Player > Tutorials they have character specific ones. You get a platinum box for each one you do and once you do'm all you get a Diamond box iirc.
Unless NRS said something since the trailer, only thing they said was "June". Hopefully it is sooner rather than later.

Yeah I will try this. However I find it tough to play with the thumbstick. Should I switch over to D pad? Which is considered better option?
No, it means that it doesnt matter if you wait since they dont scale.
Most people play with dpad. Thumbstick is way too sensitive, you get way too many errant inputs.

Personally I recommend the D-pad , it allows for much more accurate inputs and i feel like you travel less distance on inputting certain moves. But yeah practice practice practice, try different methods for remembering combos and inputs. I have a musical background , guitar and piano, so I tend to think of combos like a rhythm and it helps me get timing down
ambar_hitman

Yeah most of my problem is with wrong input using thumbstick. Character will suddenly jump instead of going forward etc. But then using arrow combination real fast on dpad is a pain too. I will switch over to dpad today and practice.
