Overall balance of the game

[Dann]

I remember when mk9 came out everyone was using either kung lao, cyrax, or smoke. Im happy that that problem is almost non-existent in this game. Every character seems viable and I feel as the game progresses we will find that the losing match ups are 6-4 at worst. Even though there are characters like superman that are slightly better then the rest of the cast, they are by no means overpowered. I am very happy with the balance in this game. I do not feel as there is a need for buffs and nerfs as of now.

I feel like overall there are a lot of viable characters, but I also feel that it appears to be very rock, paper, scissors with a lot of match ups.

 

[kronspik]

I need a third option for " *shrug* "

 

[SilverKeyMan]

While the balance seems good at the moment, some characters are definitely easier to pick up than others. It will be interesting to see how the game develops in the next few months, when even the most casual player has found ways around Deathstroke's zoning or Doomsday's tele-stomp.

 

[RYX]

Superman is better than everyone else for right now.

That is all.

 

[Espio]

Too soon to say in my opinion.


It hasn't even been a month yet....so much about match ups needs to be fleshed out and explored.

Yeah, that's been a normal thing for 22 years now...

 

[HaWXx Is Rippin]

happy with the balance although there are some mechanics which i think need fixing though

Well they have to stay true to the comics.

What if people actually learn the game and he turns out not #1?

Then where will your comics be?

 

[aldazo]

Yeah, that's been a normal thing for 22 years now...

and it should not have been so...

 

[GNG Iniquity]

and it should not have been so...

And yet...Grundy has a one button command grab in this game. I'm sure Zangief had a much harder time against Sagat without that. Oh, he also didn't have armor.

Does Gief get buffs on his command grab chains? :16Bit

Then my Doomsday will be happy, I started playing him just to smash Superman's face in and remember the good times when old Sups died.

 

[RunwayMafia]

Well...all I can say is I'm having a lot of success with HawkGirl and I didn't see that coming...

 

[LEGEND]

i'm not happy with the stage balance atm, characters all feel really good though

It's the only Superman comic that I've ever purchased and wanted to read.

 

[DominicanAddy94]

Agree with LEGEND. I like the character balance, still not used to stages.

Patch comes on Tuesday. Ask me then, because imo that's going to be the deciding factor. We will see how NRS enacts game balance and that'll reveal if they are catering more towards the playerbase whom take it competitively or filthy casual scum.
