Does Raiden really need like 5 level 1 hit confirms??

DOES HE!!!!???


Kratos, Raiden, Sly, Sackboy>>>>>rest of the cast.

So far at least. This is based off FFA and 2v2, not 1v1..

Whatever SuperBot has in store for DLC in the future, I hope they don't pluck anymore characters from the hack 'n slash genre. Enough with that shit. Kratos, Dante, Nariko and Raiden are more than enough for one game.

So no easy characters to translate into the fighting game? Gotcha.

He said no more hack, and slash not shit from a hack.

Well they already have Kratos covering that one so no need for Hayabusa.

I got my **** wrecked by a level 999 fat princess and sackboy. They were definitely in cahoots but I felt that they used every cheap trick in the book.

I haven't really been playing online so I have been getting some quick footing. I know there are no cheap tricks. Its just the playstyle of each character I guess.

In that case, I find that sackboy is a terrible playstyle. Spamming projectiles from a distance is annoying, and he gains AP way too quickly.

Whats worse is despite me saving up all my lives in this stock match and being good at running away from supers, when he got to a level 3 I had no defense because the fat princess kept blocking my way from getting out both times losing both of my remaining lives in a three stock match.

Left a bitter aftertaste in my mouth, and I still can't get over it despite winning the following 5 random matches and calling it a night.

No amount of wins is ever going to help me get over that loss. I didn't get a single kill and my teamate (evil cole) was even more useless than me and lost all 3 of his lives near the start.



After that, I seriously think that he should be nerfed, because in the right hands and amazing player, the playstyle just feels dirty. Reduce his AP gain, idk. Or atleast prevent players from acting like that, because you are so vulnerable against his level 3. Even by slowing it down as ratchet in the suck cannon a few times its impossible to stop someone like that.

All the characters I like have crappy supers, except for Sackboy, who everyone loathes.

I'm at that point where I want to main someone else (right now I'm good with Toro, Spike, Dan and Sackboy) but I don't know who. I guess I'll just save my heart for Kat.

Sackboy doesn't piss me off nearly as much as Raiden, Sly, and Kratos, but he could definitely use a bit of a nerfing.

The AI doesn't but after being completely demolished in a match where even when I fell down I was stuck underneath a electric mat and stuck in a endless loop, it did.

I was wondering why so many people were complaining about him. The team I faced knew how to use every exploit in the book.

At the very least, they should make the sticker thing random like Raiden's level 3 where you cannot see the face. It would give the person a fighting chance at hiding, or atleast not respawn as stickers.

So, I've played two online games, and both times while the match was loading, it showed 4 players. When the match starts, only 3 players are present, and other than a little lag nothing out of the ordinary happens. Then the match ends and the 4th guy was there all along and has some kills and deaths (even though I didn't notice anyone die randomly or get kills where no one was standing). Is this just my crappy internet or is the online really glitchy? This also happened to me during the Beta.

I got stuck in a 2v2 match where my partner died right away and a Ratchet would suck me up into his gun, carry me into the corner, spit me into the corner, and level 1. Because it was in the Hades level I couldn't roll out of it, and if I stood up to jump I'd get hit. Was horrible.

Did you try holding down the block button while you were on the ground to stay down longer? Or does Ratchet's level 1 last too long?

This is my plan. Same with Radec's 2. Depending on when Ratchet activates it, you could get out of it.

I find it rather misbalanced that Ratchet's 1 is more reliable than his 2. I'm hoping more people catch on to little tricks like lying on the ground. I still desire to see high level gameplay, Superbot should upload some 2v2 stock gameplay

His 3 is pretty monstrous if I'm not mistaken, much better than Sly's or Radec's.

Sackboy easily drops shockpads and can instantly escape to a spawn point placed somewhere on the level.

I'd much rather that the shock pad require more time to pull out. That can stop the annoying spam I see when it's used up close. I find that Sackboy has too many easy way outs when he gets caught in CQC. He's not different from Radec in this sense, but unlike Radec, Sackboy has more of them, and they can be tricky to avoid-- grabs with knockback, shockpad that inevitably gets in the way, instant teleport, fan. It's a very easy playstyle in that sense because its versatility allows Sackboy to keep enemies afar, and get out of his weakness with ease.

Imagine if Radec had instant teleport, shock, and a grab that knocked you back. It's all a bit too much and too easy, IMO, and that's what makes Sackboy so effective...that and his AP/Super 3

Try to throw Sackboy at all costs when he gets above 1 or 2. He drops a lot of meter and it can really hinder him.

I play Sackboy but he's getting really boring to me. His playstyle isn't very satisfying.
