Re: Games Discussion Thread
I've been playing it on Xbox for the better part of a day, and here's what I've got:
Good zoning is a bitch. Deathstroke and Black Adam can be tough as shit, and Superman is a motherfucker in Battle Mode, though it may be because he's the 'boss' and boosted accordingly. Juggling doesn't seem to be a problem, but it may be the case that I haven't met anyone good enough at it to make it a problem yet. There is a default launch attack that every character has though, and it's easy to get it off by accident. This may be what you've seen.
The story is actually relatively decent for a comic book, and really good for a fighting game. The big thing holding it back is that it MUST go from fight to fight with very few breaks, which can lead to stupid bullshit. But it's not awful. It's also pretty short.
This may be the first fighting game I've ever played where you can change the command inputs: If you'd like you can switch the controls so it plays closer to Street Fighter than MK. It's made it much easier for me to get into, as I can't into MKs controls.
I favor Green Arrow and Deathstroke right now. I'm going to go through the STAR Labs (Challenge tower) in the next few days and see if there's anyone I like better, but not yet.
