Be patient, and MB roll. When you get in on deadshot he's kind of ass lol. (I know you didn't mention deadshot but he's everyone's Achilles ATM). Just remember deadshot players love that low, overhead string.
A controller with Turbo. But no, not in game.

Is there 'seasons' to the ranked ladder where they reset your standings? I guess my win/loss ratio will always be saved eh?
been doing ranked matches so gear only counts as vanity (no stats)
Would do KOTH but no idea where that mode is in the menu. I enjoyed that mode so much in MKX
[edit] found KOTH

Yeah, but it's not same than actually throw a controller that can hit someone in the face! xD
Damn... I understand that you can get frustrated but I've never thrown a controller or a stick! :O And you're right, pro players are usually very very calm person (at least it's what they show) because they need to concentrate, and before becoming pro they lost thousands of times, so they're used to it.
Yeah, the problem is not he broke his controller, even if it's dumb, but he could seriously hit someone in the face, even if it's not his purpose of course.
People, don't hurt someone for losing at a videogame.

Holy shit, what the hell is that Power of Zoom modifier? Just encountered that for the first time.
Online you can play ranked or agree with your opponent to turn gear off. Believe you can just turn off the stats local too. Triangle at character select screen.

I think it's ironic that you would call my reproach shallow but not support your own argument. At least my argument had content, no? I don't take issue with your disagreement, it's good to have discussion and debate, but if you're going to disagree, actually express why you disagree. Your post essentially reads as 'your opinion is shallow because I don't agree with it'. It's really arbitrary, and as I say, ironic considering the issue you take with my own post.
I don't think the game is absolutely without depth or anything like that, just that it has comparably less than other fighting games (and I think there's plenty of evidence from Injustice 1 tournaments to support that), while at the same time, it has a needless, surface level inaccessibility that makes it difficult to pick up and play for new players. For what it's worth, this is not an uncommon opinion, Injustice's neutral game is frequently criticised, even on Testyouright. Heck, it's not uncommon that people complain about SFVs neutral game and reference the fact that without footsies it's 'close to' playing like Injustice, which they see as a bad thing.
this is why I've only been doing ranked to turn off stats. Now once I'm L20 with maxed items it wont matter as much
Awesome, thanks.
It's great that's what it is.

Daddy Superman needs to have a long talk to Damian about watching too much anime.
It's a shame Batman won, if Superman was still president anime would be illegal.

I'd argue that high level combo execution is harder in this game that in SFV and the way air to air and anti-air attacks lead to juggle states along with how the animations flow mean that you need to improvise on how to juggle more so than other 2D fighters then on top of that you need to be extremely cognisant of how your resources are building at all times. Sure, there are some combos that are dial-in (like in all fighters) but other characters need some really tricky timing to execute max damage and confirms.
As for the neutral game, I think you can say that for any fighter played at a low level. Maybe wait a month or two before making your mind up on how things play out at the highest level. I'm maining Catwoman right now and all my damage comes from my use of normals.
Injustice's neutral game is a lot better then the first one, but depending on the characters/matchups/players, it can easily devolve into both players sitting across the screen trying out ground pound each other.
I feel like unlike Injustice 1, when people get more comfortable with their characters, they will be less reliant on specials. The walk speed and normals across the board seem better then the first.

What game modes unlocks items?
All of them aside from Practice.
As hard as I try, I can't see this "layer of inaccessibility" you keep talking about. Moves are easy to pull off, strings too. Supers have no execution barrier and interactibles are simple. New players to fighting games can mash strings without risk of failure, and none of what I just listed would be foreign to someone that's a bit more familiar with fighters like SF and Tekken.
Depth is another matter entirely, and IJ1 was not a lesser game than its peers, imo. You mention its tournament scene like it's damning evidence, but I'm not sure you're trying to say if it was short-lived, or that it had no meta.
A short shelf life means nothing (see Soul Calibur 5), and as far as metagame goes, it was fine from what I remember.
Anyhoo, depth and longevity and accessibility are two very separate beasts. It's way too early to talk about depth, and as far as accessibility goes, if this thread is any indication, people are pleased.

Well I'm playing local. We want the gear on but not the stats lol. There doesn't seem to be an option for that. Triangle doesn't seem to give us the options.
It's in the general gameplay settings in the options menu

So it seems like Robin is going to be very difficult to use against what the top tiers are shaping up to be.
Anyway, I have been putzing around with supergirl, Robin, poison ivy, and captain cold.
What's the best thing to focus on to start out with a new character? It seems like individual normals aren't very useful in this game and you should mostly be using strings to do footsies. So learning all the strings and their advantages or disadvantages might be best to learn first.

The MB comes out fast enough. I've used it in game when facing predicable spam.
The armor also does absorb a shot if you get hit.
This is practice mode, and while tricky to get in game I've done it in a match.

Yeah meter burning her dash is one of the best parts of her kit
See what strings cancel into moves, which strings are overhead/low, see if any lead to a bounce or pop up of some kind and work out a general bread and butter. That's what I go for anyway.
A problem I used to have is spending way too much time doing combo grinding and nothing else which left my neutral and defense to be weak, so seeing what strings are good to use not just in combos but in general play is good too. Like which ones lunge forward to punish a move.
