Dat mb dualshock 4 richochet.
Lol! People still aren't learning that overhead, low starter?
Damn son! I wanna play to make people salty but I'll probably main Green Lantern.
I just wonder what happens if that controller hits someone in the face

Didn't know this was possible, if only it auto continued on after matches (without having to press the button to continue post match) I could be even more lazy and do other stuff while the characters gradually level up.
Wonder Woman is pretty easy to grasp. Scarecrow too

Superman.
Deadshot.
I disagree. Wonder Woman has a lot of tools and knowing when to use which is critical. Scarecrow is a character where knowing the ranges where you can play is essential.
Neither of these qualities are something a person who's not well-versed in fighting games will want to deal with.

He's lucky he didn't hit someone.

I've heard that Superman, Batman and Atrocitus are great for beginners. I can definitely vouch for Batman being a good starting character, because he was the first character I picked up in this game.
Edit: Also Deadshot.
I was coming in here after my first match against a Deadshot online to say "fuck Deadshot" and this is the first thing I see.
Yep.
I got put on the other side of the screen and basically just went "I live here now" and died defiantly t-bagging.
If its possible then sure!

Oh yes, yes indeed.
It's tasty, my omega beams blind me as does the win pose and super lol

Yeah, he's broken. Hopefully NRS can fix it so that the 2 people who want to play dead shot aren't totally screwed.

Black Adam feels like he can do everything. He's like the Necalli of this game.
Got him up to level 17 yesterday.
I'm really liking scarecrow right now but I'm not too sure if he has any real wakeup options. Darkseid seems like a lot of fun but don't know how effective he will be in a few weeks.
This is amazing. Shit like this is one of the many reasons why I love fighting games lmao
What gear changes laser color?

Yeah, they're just straight up stockings.
Sadly, her leotards are like Wonder Woman's, so she has shorts on underneath, which looks a bit goofy. If they wanted to cover up a bit more, they should've just made the leotard itself do so.

The stream of loot is making it hard to settle on a single character. I keep changing characters to level them up and equip new gear.

How does the timing work to cancel a normal into special? Can't do it for the life of me. I don't know if I'm going to fast or too slow.

For sure! I'll PM you when I arrive home from work and open the Guild to requests again.

Do it fast, as soon as you have finished the attack input the next.

I'm not feeling how Catwoman has no way to get in on zoners and half of them seem to have better mix-ups than her.
Yeah, the timing is much more lenient than SF. I sometimes even do them accidentally.
Yes, please! I want Dick in this game.
If it can't be as Nightwing, then please as one of his other versions. I'm still so salty they put Nightwing in the last game and kinda in this one, but not the original so many would have loved to see. Dick is so much more popular than Damian. Imo a really strange decision by them.What did he mean by this?

Really dont know what NRS expected with DEADSHOT especially with his multiuse trait.

I picked this game up and I think the story and production values are cool. It's a fun, cinematic game to play.
But I think the core gameplay is trash. It's neither accessible enough to be fun for new players, or in-depth enough in the long term to be interesting to spectate or learn to play for veterans of fighting games (in my opinion).
For new players coming to the game it's incredibly inaccessible, new players want to be able to do things just by pressing buttons, and the game ties everything interesting to relatively complex inputs. Neither of the two options, (alternative or standard) are 'accessible', the regular inputs say that they are 'wrong' if the user inputs the buttons in between the motion (e.g. if the motion is down, forward, and the player presses down, down +forward, forward, the move doesn't come out).
There's this intentional, surface level inaccessibility that acts as a barrier to new players, However at the same time, underneath this the game isn't that complex. Combos are unsophistiated, rote memorsation with very little technique or timing, just requiring the inputs are performed and then accepting the sequence. The neutral game is brain dead, a back and forth between special attacks, with none of the subtly or strategy that comes from the myriad of options that are prominent in other games (i.e. all of the regular attacks that compose the neutral game in SFV, or all of the assist options and specials that feature in Marvel).
This is just my experience from playing it with 15-20 people this week, many of them inexperienced Netherrealms games. It was very apparent that they just didn't 'get it' they frequently describe disliking how it doesn't feel like their moves flow. Many of them reference games like Soul Calibur, Tekken and Marvel and seem to like how the moves flow in those games. Even in Street Fighter though, a new player can get to grips with the game a lot faster... in SFV you can teach a player to play a character like Rashid, using only cr.HP and cr.mp (anti air and poke). These games, (Tekken, SC, Marvel, SF, DoA, Virtual Fighter, are accessible, easy to play.
Essentially what I'm saying is that the game has a steep learning curve, but that curve plateaus pretty quickly, and many other fighting games, have a more gradual learning curve, but one that ends up up much higher. In that respect, I think Injustice is a bad game. It fails to address two big issues in fighting games right now which are onboarding and general accessibility (the tutorials are pretty bad and the game is not easy to pick up and play) and at the same time it features less depth, and less interesting mechanics for veterans of the genre.
Feel free to disagree. Everything here is just my personal opinion. I don't regret buying the game, it's been fun over the last few days, but with Tekken 7 coming out in two weeks, I'm not going to be sticking with this one.

Ahah...
Is he a famous player? I'm new in the Injustice universe so I know no players.
And there isn't any rule against those kind of attitude?

Meter burn bf+2 will get you fullscreen.
Wow, didn't realise blue beetle could turn completely invisible as well as just kinda transparent with an outline
I'm kinda feeling like doing that too but for now I'm trying to stick with one character and get some decent stuff for them before moving on to someone else

You can't activate the burn until the end of the dash so if anybody throws a projectile chances are the it will hit before you have armour.

To be fair most players are above this type of behavior. I can think of three controller throwing instances in most of my FGC viewing over the last 7 or 8 years and they're from notoriously salty players.
Like that time Sanford Kelly hucked a stick after getting read like a book

Depends on the TO, when I was TOing small tournaments I would happily throw someone out if they
a) Posed any significant threat of harm to anyone else
b) Broke or damaged anything (unjustifiably) that wasn't their own
Apologising, offering to pay for the damage, etc. is not good enough. You shouldn't break shit, you shouldn't risk hurting someone by throwing a controller randomly across the room, etc.
I only ever had that issue with one person at my events and we basically spoke to them about it and told them that they weren't welcome at future events etc. I wouldn't welcome people like F.Champ, who is known to belittle and threaten people, as well as break equipment that he does not own. Good job 99.9% of the FGC isn't like that, but the ones that are really stand out in these online videos and whatnot that people bring to everyone's attention.
Sad to see you're not enjoying yourself, but I can't agree with any of it. DF moves do come out if there's a diagonal in there, and your description of the combo system and neutral game is as shallow as your reproach. :/

I came close to throwing my controller a few times playing this game and I wasn't even fighting Deadshot.
The last time a game made me this frustrated was the final boss fight in MGR: Revengence.
