Funny I was interested in Hawkgirl and Harley as well. Still trying to find a character really. I mained Mileena in MK though I never got beyond average with her.


I maimed Mileena in MK too. Try Catwoman. She's pretty formidable and a mix between Mileena and Freddy



Thanks man I'll look into Catwoman. I've been playing through her star labs stuff and she seems interesting. I guess no one is really grabbing me as fun yet. Kind of frustrating.

Raven's been working for me. I really like her. Haven't tried Nightwing yet, but I intend to.

I need to do some reading on Raven, because she has some flaws for me. She's really vulnerable up close and has a really poor wake-up game. I also find it's tough when I get out-zoned by characters like Deathstroke and Sinestro.

Every character has strengths and weakness. Pick a character based on your likes for him/her and performance. Not trend.


I would,but when i use said character(guess who... :} ) i can't get his combo's to work,i do the inputs and they just don't work online,so said charac...NIGHTWING! is useless online,i can get the first two attacks for a few of my combos(save 1 that actually works 85% of the time online),but my main(read:Only) startup juggle combo never works(square,square,x) it makes it impossible to use him,also,his special moves are damn near useless,the wing ding needs you centered at the right position just to hit your damn opponent!but supes air laser cover almost the entire screen,his ground shock attack needs to execute faster,his escrima fury one is actually good,but is tough to get off on a airborne juggled opponent(not really a complaint,just mentioning),and his staff stance is almost useless,he jumps at a shorter height?he moves slower?,are his attacks stronget at least?,does he have longer range?,yes but not enough to compensate for all the disadvantages the staff stance carries,he has no way to close in on zone spammers(at least bats,supes,joker,harley,and green lantern/arrow can range attack on foot),so instead of Nightwing vs deathstoke being a cool fan favorite fight,it ends up just being a sidescrolling shooter featuring deathstroke and nightwing as the target,.

Also another thing about the staff stnace,i think Nightwing's ability should have been able to let him move faster(not like flash) and jump higher and further for a period of time,at least the escrima sticks(what nightwing actually uses!) would have been more fleshed out,also i think nighwing's super should have been something that showcased his acrobat abilities(anyone in this game can ride a motorcycle),but just a personal opinion,his super isn't too bad actually.

And after having been online i know i might be the only one with these complaints,because i might be the only one using him,so they might never make nightwing as balanced as the few balanced characters ,GL,Bats(surprising,right?)and even shazam.They also neutured him in story mode,which would have been half alright if his battle mode ending was decent,which it wasn't(get it,you'll know why) there is a sort of consolation thing with nightwing,but of course,they didn't get this exactly right either,well they did,it's just outdated,but it's alright i guess.I can only imagine how aquaman fans feel,how can he beat a spam zoner? "NRS:To the patchmobile,let's go!" :{

I know i'm really coming off as bitchy,but i hate that i can't use NW online because he somehow doesn't work right,and i don't know if anyone else is having the same issue,but i hope NRS can fix these things and make this a fair game,because it's not fun trying to just get your characters moves to work while playing after(and during) a bad day(i have a lot of those here).
Sorry for the long rant.Have a nice day.

Way too early man, really effective setups are just coming out. Combos are the last thing you need to worry about, some people just rush in for the combo without taking the time to analyze the opponent and get destroyed. Setups, mix ups, resets, that's the good stuff.

I understand your frustration against Deathstroke, the guy is really braindead effective, and gives a lot of the cast a hard time. But that doesn't mean Nightwing is a bad character, perhaps he is just complex. Time will tell.

Also, online will make you screw your combos up sometimes because of lag.

Oh and Aquaman is the best counter zoner lol.

I wanted to main Deathstroke but he's too damn cheap, unless it's against anti-zoners like Sinestro. So I picked up Hawkgirl and I liked her fighting style so she's my main for now till Slade gets nerfed a little bit (the cooldown on his trait is wicked fast).

Lol Hawkgirl is pretty good, right? I picked up Bane and he's a lot better than I thought he would be. I like his character power and I think Deathstroke should have a similar cooldown time to his.

The iOS game, of all things, peaked my interest in Bane. I just really liked his character model, animations, etc. And now I'm finding that I love the way he plays (nothing more hardcore than his all-or-nothing character trait and not having a ranged attack).

For me, finding a second character will pose a serious challenge (which I won't have to worry about for a while, as I am a fighting game noob-zord). Unlike MK9, I'm having a tough time finding other characters that suit my taste.

I thought I might main Harley, as NRS did such an amazing job with her character's "flavor", but her fighting style hasn't clicked with me yet. I also considered Hal, as any character whose weakness is yellow is sufficiently goofy to be one of my mains (plus my Green Lantern hat is one of my favorite hats; this feels somehow relevant). I haven't given him much of a chance yet, but I'm immediately skeptical of all that zoning nonsense in his arsenal.

Also...Deathstroke? ...but then I quickly learned that he is the biggest punk-ass character ever created in a fighting game. Practicing with Bane against Deathstroke on very hard brings me back to the days when I would play Link in the original Super Smash Bros and my friends would play as Mario and Pikachu on Kirby's stage. -_-

It is... but it's not a bad assumption. Him and Sinestro with those instant low snare/stuns definitely seem like they can do some work on zoners. I know Sinestro gives me hell.

I wasn't really thinking about maining a character but, holy fuck, Grundy is sooo fun to play as. I love his combos. I wasn't expecting to like him as much as I am.

Shazam has an old-school Sub-Zero vibe to him that I took to, so I managed to get what I wanted. But really what surprised me was Hawkgirl! I'm loving her! Although the first time I flew I had no idea what the hell was happening.

I still haven't had enough time to decide who to main. The leads are Knightwing, and Shazam followed by Bane, Doomsday and Black Adam.

Turns out Nightwing is usable online,and can win,as long as it's not against the following characters spamming,Deathstroke,Superman,Raven,Grundy(swamp hands) and,Doomsday.

Also,sorry for the angry rant post,guess i was having a bad day.

Wanted to main Arrow, but not really feeling him. Played my first online games with Green Lantern and did well. Find Grundy a lot of fun (but online I feel there are too many zoners in use to do well consistently with him).

Now I have played the story and the two guys I immediately enjoyed and felt comfy with were Aquaman and Joker. Going to try them out in some practice and see how it goes.

I'm still far from finding a main.

So in a twist of irony, I actually like Superman in this game. And while I loathe his character I find his playstyle a lot of fun.

Oh the horrid memories...

Anyway. Wonder Woman's unexpectedly my best character in the game. I also like Supes as well. I'm still trying to learn Cyborg though without having to resort to a zone zealot with him. Big ups to Lex as well. I like that even though his suit makes him as large as Grundy, Bane, & Doomsday, he's not an annoying, stereotypical, mighty glacier, big guy grappler trope.
