The grand finals match that just happened today at Civil War between Tom Brady (Aquaman) and REO (Batman) is a good example of how to handle it. Relentless pressure. Use your bats to keep the pressure on Aquaman between your strings and don't let him get the breathing room his trait allows him to have.
Quoting from 6 pages deep because this is the pinnacle of truth. Never mind the current state of Deathstroke, that his firearms start slower than most standing normal attacks, that they deal minimal damage on chip and fair damage on hit, that they can be blocked or evaded on reaction and do not push back, and that they are not viable within sweep range because they are unsafe on block.
Sinestro and Black Adam out-zone him.
Killer Frost's ground tracking projectile completely nullifies Deathstroke's projectiles.
Aquaman and Green Lantern go toe-to-toe with him.
Superman and Hawkgirl have aerial movement, aerial projectiles, and advancing attacks to approach him.
Raven does not fear him.
Acrobats like The Flash and Nightwing tap dance on him.
NRS should not even consider altering a single character in this game until months after the final DLC character is released. The community needs time to digest the roster in full. Every night I find something that challenges me, and the next morning I wake with possible solutions. For every character that troubles me, I construct ways to fight them or better approach them and the match becomes more nuanced. Settle yourselves and stop worrying about what's tough to fight online, of all things.
I don't think Sinestro out zones Deathstrokes at all.
That Injustice top 8 had all 8 different characters. Probably the most balanced fighter to come out at day 1 in recent memory. Of course that will change over time but it's nice to see there's no obvious broke character right now.

Superman is an awesome character who is underrated beyond belief.
I personally really, really enjoyed his role in the story mode. He was basically
Goku. Everyone is just struggling trying to save time until he arrives, and once he does, he gets shit fixed.

I have no clue either. lol
Is there some sort of "Fighting Game Lingo for Dummies" guide? I'd really like to get better at this game but even the "beginner" tutorials are damn near greek to me. I don't know a cancel from a ~~xxfdb214wtf.
Am I just too old for this shit?

Didn't pay too much attention to it before, cause I thought it was just me messing up the timing, but I do believe there may be a bit of input delay. I tested a thoroughly. Harley's 1,2,U+3. A lot of times only U+3 registers. I've tried it during different frames of animations too.

There's a slight hitch at the start of some matches and the DLC situation is still unclear. I heard something about xp resetting or something but I have yet to have that happen.
Fixed that for you.
Both Nerd Josh and Arturo were in fights that they could've won handily.

It's easy to fight against if you pick the right character to counter stupid Deathstroke spams.

I feel the exact same. As I said earlier I really want to jump on this as an entry point to fighting games proper, but the tutorial (as in all fighting games) glosses over things too much to give a new player a chance to be competitive online, and all of the other guides out there are aimed at people who have fundamentals nailed.
I'm enjoying Green Lantern though, lots of nice ranged attacks and quite fast/responsive.
Too old? Just how old are you?
that lingo has been around for a long time.I would suggest checking out FAQs on various fighting games. Most should have a section on acronyms.

37 but the last fighter I actually put any time into at all (or bought for that matter) was Tekken 3. lol
Edit:
Thanks.
Does anyone know if the strategy guide explains the basics very well? I'd really like to be able to sit down with it next to me while I play, but not if I have to keep going to the computer to translate it into noob.

The opponent rage quits, I get a loss. Sweet. I'm 12-1 now for no reason.
It happened a second time. This stupid game.

I feel you. I was on-track to get the 25 Ranked win streak achievement in MKvsDC (was at 17) when the next opponent disconnected and it ended my streak. Sucks that NRS still hasn't fixed it.

Loving this game, especially after seeing tournament play. I'll be getting the Wii U version once it gets patched.

So is the story mode in this as good as MK7? I'm terrible at fighters and hardly ever get good enough to play online so MK7 having a good single player was very refreshing.

The fact that you can cancel out of stance change early could lead to some sick stuff. But I guess canceling into trait means you can't cancel out of it as quickly I guess? I tried to go from harassing with the staff into stance change into overhead cross up.
You talking about doing a Staff chain trait cancel into the flip kick? You can do that. Do to pushback on staff normals though I don't think the flip kick will cross up unless they are in the corner though. And if you have them there I would just keep using staff.

I was able to do it but the flip kick seemed to come out slower than if I just raw stance change into flip kick. What I'm trying to do is harass with staff, stance change, flippy do.
It's better to go from escrima to staff instead of the other way around. Nothing really causes hitstun long enough for you to switch from staff to escrima and still link a special.
D12 in escrima into trait has a lot of frame advantage and allows you to link into staff specials though which is awesome. You can also hit trait while doing db 3 in staff to switch into escrima from staff, it also makes it safe.

In the 100 or so online games I've played, I think I've only lost to a Deathstroke once. I have more trouble with Green Lanterns/Ravens. Just not used to having to respect random force grabs yet.
