hey do you get a lot out of swamp hands? does it have any use during wakeup pressure?

fuckin' called it, man
Lol I can't get 113 out with Nightwing. I'm too used to baby timing.
He doesn't really need meter to do decent damage in escrima (35ish%), but does in staff unless you have your opponent cornered.

Escrima damage in the corner is good, but midscreen I always MB kari fury (whatever its called lol)
How is this performed?

Just started watching the archives of this and they really started this with Tom Brady vs Reo? Who setup that bracket lol
For now, yes. You can probably purchase them later if you want them.
A lot of people seem to think Sinestro isn't good. Green Lantern, on the other hand is considered strong. The finals are today at civil war for Injustice so we shall see who ends up where. ChrisG won exhibitions with Green Arrow and Black Adam though.

A good tier list? No tier list this early is good, but there are some standouts a lot are using it seems.
Aquaman, Superman, Bane, Grundy, Green Lantern all get a lot of play and big damage. However folks like Chris G are showing how good things like Green Arrow can be, I'm seeing Batman's that frighten me with their remote bat pressure and setups, and Killer Frost is fast looking to me like she can do just about anything well.
At this point you can essentially make anyone work, but if you want fast to learn damage I'd suggest the ones I mentioned.

I can't even get a ranked match :C
Seriously. Player and Ranked matches NEVER find a match for me. I'm stuck in lobbies.

Are you on 360? Don't be intimidated. I am a total complete scrub. I can't even do a combo. I'm currently on a 5 win streak.

The stage interactions are clearly the worst thing in this game. I just want to fight. One minute ago someone defeated me because he was throwing barrels at me for the last 30 seconds.

If you need an easy ranked win, seriously, just use Doomsday.
People freak the fuck out and don't know what to do. Seriously, it's amazingly easy. Seems like there's no other Doomsdays in this game, too.
DeathStroke seems to be the way for a very easy win, too.
Haha well I'm sure that it won't represent the end game; I'm just curious where Sinestro stands right now. I'm probably still going to use him anyway. I don't have time to play that much due to school so I might as well play who I enjoy.

Its a throw I believe so up close.
Just dive in. Everyone sucks in ranked so you'll be ok.
Or you could go with Green Lantern. His combos are pretty brain dead. Which is fitting for Hal, really.
Here is how you beat stage transitions:
Stop being a puss. They have to take the time to pick up the item they want to throw at you. Hit them and they can't. They can't block or anything in the mean time. If you see them running to the barrels to throw them at you? Get in that ass.
If they are going to throw the barrels at you and they are throwing them over head? If you're in the middle of the screen and can't get there in time? Duck. That's it. really. If you are at the far end of the screen you just need to jump. Time your jump to go above it when it starts to lose altitude. Unless you are Nightwing in staff mode, you should clear it if you timed it right.
Pretty much everyone on the hero side is good/solid. Some of the characters on the villain side are questionable about how solid they are. Sinestro is negative as hell on a ton of his moves and most top players aren't feeling him right now. Joker's HaHa trait is difficult to get to max with not as much obvious pay off. Harley Quinn's trait has random properties with long start up but otherwise is a solid character. Luthor is fairly unexplored but does have some interesting tools. The rest are solid characters though on the villain side. It's also uncertain how the big bodies will fair in the meta game.
Lies. He's got amazing rushdown and that staff stance up close is killer.
He isn't good. He's great.
Go to training mode and see the combos section. Try to cancel into special moves from various points in the combos. Ex the special moves to see which one launches them. Then do more combos while they are floating. That's the general flow of combos in this game.
Swamp hands is one of Grundy's greatest tools. Its unlike anything any grappler's had in any game. Its a low, but if they block it close to you, you are very punishable.
I don't think its good for wakeup pressure. You can try to do double lows or overhead into Ex swamp hands as a risky wakeup mixup. Ex Swamp hands also has 1 hit of armor, so say they wakeup with a crouching jab, you will grab them with ex hands and will get a free combo/chain grab.
Overhead to low strings can be b+1 -> ex Hands, or f+3 -> ex Hands
You can also double low strings like f+2 -> ex Hands
But honestly Grundy has better options for wakeup pressure, like j.3, Meaty f+1,3 (low starter), meaty b+1,3 (overhead into low) and so on.
That was a casual match
Luthor is solid. Bane is suspect. Agree with the rest.

Just noticed they nerfed Nightwings db 3 (staff spin). The MB used to do a ground bounce, now its kinda useless

nerfed? Did they put a patch out?

So, how do I get good at this game?
I'm not a fighting game veteran, and this is really one of the first titles that I'm aiming to properly learn.
Is there a good beginners guide anywhere to teach me the fundamentals? I want to start making up my own combos and destroying people through skill (and not just spamming projectiles
)

Day 1 patch was the final build of the game which was withheld from disc. I guess as a pirate precaution or something to keep online semi tolerable week 1.
BTW I'm loving the archived footage from Civil War 5 last night. I was working on stuff in the evening and I missed it. Folks need to clash more and use meter for bounce cancel extension more IMO though.

Oh, I wouldn't know. I didn't get to play the leaked copy so I had nothing to compare it to.
I bet armor will get past that Raven grab haha. Stuff in this game is hilariously bad.

Seems to take a looonnnnggggg time to get a player match on the ps3. Ranked also takes
quite a but of time. What's the fastest way to get a game going?

Wait so did you just patch your game?
Go to Join Room, join one of the 100-man rooms with the highest number of players. Challenge someone who's idle or join someone's KOTH lobby in there. Or sit there and wait for others to challenge you.
They compensated him by making his EX ground spark ground bounce instead.

I didn't play it either, I was just watching Nightwing combos on youtube before the game came out, then I tried to do them and it didn't work cause the attack was nerfed

watching the first batman chapter on yt...main plot device seems very similar to mk9

The overall plot is mostly similar to various DC story arcs involving multiple realities - but I can say without spoilers that time travel and a "reboot" are not involved in the plot here.
Grundy because he requires the least skill.

I forgot Mike Ross even happened till you mentioned him right now. I am gonna guess Grundy for the grabs or Doomsday since he probably plays most like Hulk with his gamma charge and such.
Probably. Don't forget that he played Honda in SF IV. He likes the big heavy hitters, not the grapplers.

I thought Doomsday for the AA grab and armor, but theres also Bane for that as well. He's got a lot of options right now. Be cool if he played them all.

The input delay (online) is really starting to get on my nerves now. It's often impossible to do a normal combo. Even the easiest (Deathstroke shooting) attacks can go wrong.
Example:
How it should be: Down, Right, triangle = shooting
What happens: down, triangle (low kick)
I hate this. I tried it multiple times (in the same match). Won't work.
Of course this was not the first time. It's unpredictable.
I changed to practice mode and it worked like it should be

If you like Mortal Kombat, then you'll almost certainly like this.
