Using pushblock can get rid of some character's traits.
Is Poison Ivy pressuring you with her trait+blockstrings? If she has her trait out, and you pushblock her, her trait deactivates and goes on cooldown.
It's mainly for forcing someone out from close range. Some characters can apply deadly, very hard to escape pressure in the corner if they can stay at point blank and continuously use positive strings with high/low guesses where you are scared to push a button. So using that can not just interrupt a string but push them out farther where they are forced to close that small gap again, giving you a better chance to react.
Interesting, thanks. Guess I need to understand the potential use against pressure bit more.

Just posting to confirm both GAFs House of Ls and GAFs House of Ls 2 are full. Salty Rice is managing GAFs House of Ls 3. I'm still receiving many PMs regarding the guilds, but I can't approve you.
The details are as follows:
Once I'm home from work I'll change the status of the first two guilds to closed, so that no more requests can be submitted.

Sweet requested membership into the guild. PSN name is the same as here.

Anyone else getting really loud fight music playing during cutscenes randomly? I can hear the other music underneath and it's definitely during quieter moments where music like that shouldn't be playing. Really lame if this is a bug. Has happened twice in the past hour
Deadshot realistically is very overtuned for 99% of this games audience.
You can crouch walk to get past his zoning.
But all the casual who bought this game did not buy it to spend most of their time crouch walking past bullets.
And even if you get past his gun shot, he has decent normals to send you back full screen, and he has the MB low rifle that has insane chip and pushback.
He gains way to much meter from his high gunshot that lets him unload on people.
Just look at Aris's stream, dude is a great fighting game player, but he barely even practiced Deadshot, doesn't know how to do half of the games mechanics, and is destroying low level players with ease.
It only takes about 10 minutes to figure out how to play Deadshot at a decent enough level to frustrate low level players.
I'm not saying Deadshot should be nerfed, I'm just saying don't expect this game to have a thriving online community past the next few months.

Are you referring to the chapter
wherein you play as either Blue Beetle or Firestorm?

I actually didn't bring up Daigo or ChrisG - I hate that sorta lame style of play in their respective games as well. You didn't see me come in here & defend them. At least in other games, zoning seems well thought out and manageable though. It is far too effective here.
On the plus side, i'm sure they will change it eventually. I'll give it another shot when they do.

Deadshot plays like Deathstroke, who Aris used a lot in Injustice

What we need is for someone to make a video breaking down Deadshot's abilities, and the various ways around it. Like a person with decent exposure lol. Would love to be the intrepid person to do it and what most characters can do against it but between the no real recording equipment and little free time this week I can't.
But I agree with Khezu, Deadshot is too much for the casual player who blasted through the tutorial if at all, and probably is more content with just doing whatever.
It is the same in any fighting game though, there is always that one character that rolls causal players, even more so in a game that has a large pool of people who do not play fighters regularly. Once the usual first few week people move on it will settle out. Actually now that I think about it... is the whole duck without blocking to evade projectiles thing in this one like in Mortal Kombat X?

No it was twice during
Supergirls chapter
Aris was just an example.
Deadshots zoning takes about 10 minutes learn.
It might take longer to master him as whole, but his very basic zoning game is simple enough and powerful enough to deal with low level players with very little effort.
Yeah. Thought it was a bug too. Seemingly was confirmed when I heard loud stage/fight music with Superman's theme played on top of it during a moment.
In this just holding down is also blocking.

Thanks, decided to pick it up
Looking forward to the campaign. I tend to view fighting game campaigns not as just fights against the AI, but like a 1v1 character action. The kind of combo depth you'd see in a DMC and Darksiders, against a single enemy with a moveset as varied as your's
People that don't want to learn how to play are going to lose to any low level, effective strat, in any game.

It's so hard to readjust to playing Injustice after a year of Street Fighter
Then you should really dig the game. The Multiverse stuff is a lot of fun and the collectable gear stuff is a lot of fun.

Obviously nobody else read Alan Moore's ST run or they'd be hype to pick him

I'm glad you decided to buy it. Based on this statement, you'll definitely enjoy Multiverse mode. The gear rewards are just the icing on the cake. I stuck with Multiverse mode after completing the tutorials for a ridiculous amount of time; It's that enjoyable.
Absolutely, but usually those low level players will whine and complain and then just search for a new match and hope find someone as low level as them so they can try and win a match.
NRS zoning though seems to be a special kind of frustration for casuals.
When they are new or low level and they fight someone who they perceive is "spamming" one single move over and over again from across the screen and they don't know how to deal with it, they don't rematch, they return the game to gamespot.

I love Swamp Thing. I honestly haven't read Alan Moore's run; my love stems from what Snyder and especially Soule did with the character. Swamp Thing was one of New 52's greatest treasures. I'll read Moore's acclaimed run at some point; it's definitely on my radar.
Did you turn off negative edge and input shortcuts? That might help ya.

Those are under controller settings, right? I've been playing with both turned on, but I remember MKX and IJ being easier to execute specials with them off.

Just do quarter circle back, forward
I guess, but I think it's silly to try and balance the game around what people who don't want to learn find fun. Especially after so many people have repeated that competitive play and online is insignificant and the most important thing for casuals is tons of single player content.

Outside of the drops/Mother Boxes, you also receive an ability when a character reaches Level 10 and Level 20.
These are from the Beta (it's possible there have been changes):
I would agree if this was Mortal Kombat.
But Injustice was made simpler because it's target audience is DC fans who want to play as their favorite characters against friends and online.
It is a simpler game then MK, with simpler characters and easier execution.
Deadshot would fit in and be ok in an MK game, but for this, it just seems to go against the games very nature.
Right.

Salty Rice message sent.I only played a few matches online, I think both Darkseid. I got destroyed.
So... how are they going to explain where
Dick Grayson is? I was hoping we'd get Deadman playable but with him instead of Boston.
I'm only a couple hours in, so not sure if it even is explained.
That's not the narrative that NRS fans have created.
And I'll never agree that game balance should be dictated by people who don't even care about learning how to play.
But maybe NRS will patch lol.

I haven't encountered a single Deadshot either, ranked or player match.
The thing that makes NRS games the hardest, IMO, is how nothing is visually clear.
What's a reversal? What's a wake-up attack? What has armor? There's a reason Street Fighter has distinctive DPs, armor animations, EX animations, etc. Even the Meterburn effect comes in so late it's basically not reactable.
The only way to know is to experience it a lot. Other games it's pretty clear from first sight.

Don't listen to NRS fans were notoriously crazy, whiny, and have a victim complex.
For the record I'm not arguing to nerf him, It's like day 2, I don't have a very solid opinion on him myself.
I'm just saying this because I'm confused why they would put a character like this after what happened with Deathstroke in I1.
We know he is going to get nerfed, it's as clear as day with NRS, so why go through with this whole song and dance if all it's going to do is lead to pissed of people.
The people against early patching, the Deadshot mains, the casuals who have to fight Deadshot.
I don't get it is all I'm saying.
They deserve it. They put in the work every week.
