I'm still having a good time. been mostly going to TYM forums to work on combos for my characters.
At work I still play IJ1 since there is no PC ver for IJ2
edit: Link testyourmight.com (TYM) - good place to go to look up combos for your favorite superhero/villian. Been going here for the longest. Like since IJ1 I think. definitely for MKX

That awkward moment where you sneeze but still execute a super move thinking/assuming the opponents health bar was at a state where the move will finish them off. While move animation is playing through you disappear to the kitchen to grab a tissue. Only to return to the game to see the opponent on critical health pummeling your character to near death.
I only just won when I grabbed the controller haha.

The input issues I totally agree with Brady on.
Also like someone mentioned why is stance switch a thing? I literally in multiverse cannot use the assist for a forward plus L2 on an arcade stick because I will start dancing like a jack off instead. Nope. I'll solo it thanks.
I get that stupid lunging cat attack from Dex Star so much when I am just trying to do a crouching fireball input instead. Also the amount of times a combo requires a 1 2 and I am near an interactable and instead fuck with it is frustrating as well.
This game suffers in its core gameplay in so many ways it's hard to take it seriously as a competitive fighter at all. That's just me of course.
But having been playing T7 now since release that game is a breath of fresh air in the core gameplay being so damn crisp. Too bad its online is total cheeks and the story was laughable. NRS x Bandai Namco joint meeting is needed.

How many B buttons does your controller have?!
I hope NR overhauls their input systems. They really need a overhaul. One of the things that disappointed me so much about the first one was that they pretty much changed the block method and called it a day. The B-F input types and whatever engine logic they use doesn't feel right for a back to block game. It's fine in MK, because you can hold block and are free to move the directions around, but that doesn't work here. Part of why other games feel better to play is the motions can be pulled off going from blocking so much more smoothly with the quarter circle motions that have stood the test of time. Their games could feel so much better instead of the herky-jerky controlling you have to do to pull off moves.
The game is good, but this fundamental issue they don't seem to get is really holding it back (no pun intended).
btw that Art looks incredible will have to use that

Love the AI option. Leveling Supergirl while watching NBA finals on my iPad. 😀
^ yeah AI option is a godsend.
man was practicing combos from Green Lantern. felt rdy for online. Hop into a match and still choose Wonder Woman. so hard to leave my crutch. she just puts in so much good work for me tho
probably will need another hour or so I guess before I'm fully confident in GL

Yep, been doing the WW multiverse today and those three fuck me up every time. I suck at the game still but those three are the ones that made me retry over and over.
I've only got the last stage of this multiverse to do before the deadline but I'm only level 13 with WW. Not sure if I can get up to 20 in time.
Agreed. There's other things I don't like about IJ2, but the big things universally I think people want to see from NRS' next big game:
Way better animation and flow to combat so it isn't so stiff looking.
Fix this input nonsense.
IJ2 is a great game, but for me other issues I have from going the limit with it, instead of Tekken 7, is:
I hate the chip damage amount
I hate the first hit gives you a bar of meter
I don't like how clash works
I don't like how stage interactions work(some characters throw shit, others move quickly across a stage)
I don't like IJ2's heavy focus on zoners
I don't like that roll isn't a proper means to deal with effective zoning. (can roll behind, or just easily get punished as you roll)
I hate how getting my ass beat gets me WAY too much meter. It should be 50% less especially in a game where 1 bar nets you over 50% health with a lot of the cast.
Those things are what just aren't my jam. Still a fun game I would recommend to a lot of people.

You can beat it at level 13, I beat the last WW event at level 12. Use B2 at max range, AA with D2, spend your meter on BF3 MB, and use trait whenever you have the space to do so. Avoid air shield toss, Cheetah will run under it. Use 231 (I think?) as your main string, its +12 on block.

You should've subbed in an AI to finish that Portal when it got too tough for you.
Yes, the Guild events are annoyingly hard. I wish they'd fix that so less skilled players could still contribute.
So I have just finished the SP campaign and levelled my first character to 20.
I also finished the tower story mode for this character and HOLY SHIT...
Side Note: I've heard that you can run AI characters in Multiverse, especially the endless challenge tower. No idea how to do this though...

Wonder Woman is a bad guy? Like a total dictator/tyrant. Seems strange with all the buzz around the film.

Why not check out my Achievement Guide for a step-by-step walkthrough of setting up and using AI characters?
Short version: equip gear on a character's AI profile under Customize Characters. Then, when selecting the character in Multiverse, choose the AI profile instead of the default profile.
To be fair its been established since the first game.
That's great, but I'd love a 1920x1080 version, even though it sounds impossible since that's a long image on purpose.

Yeah, I don't understand why it's so stiff and ridged. It can't be intentional.

Stacked ability in one Superman load out to the point where if I can get a super move.... it wipes 50% health from my opponent. The downside is my defense and health stats are low meaning a few hits and I'm screwed lol. But I also love 500hp laser beams

I refused to play Robin because I resent Damian Wayne for replacing Tim Drake. But I gave him a shot and I really took to how he handles. I have to pretend he's Tim but he will be my 2nd level 20 character.

I have ten more characters to level to twenty, but they are all already at level 10, so the grinding is almost done.

Goddamn Darkseid is impossible to beat even with my lvl20 Wonder Woman.
How long is it up for?
I'll type this in guild chat at some point too. But at least in the case of gaf guild 3 I'd estimate only bout 10 of us are still actively doing guild universes. The rest are probably dead weight that have moved on to other games, etc.
Do we plan to merge all the active gafs into a guild at some point where everyone puts in work? each person should probably be required to at least do one activity in the guild verse.
You guys aware successful guilds are earning like 1,000 source crystals for completing guildverses right?

Sweet Jesus.
I just assume everyone is opening endless loot boxes to get that Catwoman trophy/achievement
The Elite
BOSS
I was rushing through the pop-ups for Guild Boxes yesterday and accidentally quit out of the House of L's 4 Guild. Fuck.
If a new guild is being made or I can figure out how to get into one of the other ones I am definitely in.
I guess I will hold out for a purge/consolidation at this point.
Oooh how long for?!
It's over now :/
4 new are up tho, one even rewards Platinboxes
Edit: It also has a Killer Frost assist

I don't see it. I see poison ivy
Wow before I could type a message to Guild 3 I see this Poison Ivy Multiverse popup. Good thing already leveled her to 20. The AI should breeze through this
yeah we will probably have to do that
yeah we will probably have to do that
Do you play Catwoman? because i play WonderWoman and got Catcall, the classic Cheetah headgear, and the staff of grayson but can't get the WW ability that i want.
It's a conspiracy i swear. LOL
if you play the character you'll get every other ability than yours.
