Real talk, I suck at this game.

The only character I can play somewhat competently is Green Lantern. He's a zoner, he's straight forward, and his combos are short but give out 30%+ damage and require no actual timing whatsoever (dial-a-combo for everything).

I want to get better but I feel now that I have the basics of a zoning character down I should try my hand at a rushdown character who is good at beating zoners.

Well, lately I've been trying my hand at Batgirl because people on this forum said she was easy to pickup with lots of tools and easy combos. Fair enough, she sure does have a lot of tools and the combos look simple on paper for someone who has been playing fighting games a while and can easily adapt to timing button presses on combos.

However, I do not find her easy to pick up. I still am not sure on the concept of a "vortex", probably because I cannot execute ANY of her recommended combos because none of them are fully "dial-a-combo" and require timing, which I don't have.

Ok, so should I still keep ramming my head against the wall, suck it up, and keep trying to get better with her? Or should I utilize my time more effectively and pick up someone else?

Out of these characters which have the most easily executed combos (online) which mostly do not require timing and are primarily rushdown characters?

Batman
Batgirl
Catwoman
Harley
Joker
Nightwing (kinda hesitant on this one, hear he's basically like learning 2 different characters what with his stance changes)

I have not even played IGAU, so you have more skill than me. Don't put yourself down. It's like Tom Brady's started a trend.

Aquaman is very straight forward too. a tracking grounded projectile with a pretty huge upward hit box, a long trident projectile that's tough to jump. His mix up revolve around 2 strings for the most part.. b12 and f1. No tough hit confirms either, and all his combos should be ended in f2,1+3 which grants a free ground trident. Hes easy to use, tough to tom brady. try him out.

I still feel like I suck at this game, the forum members here consider me a pretty good Lobo and I may be. But I still lose to my 17 & 13 year old brother and their GLs. You can blame them and people online for my burning hatred of Superman and Green Lantern, you'll get better trust me just practice. When I first picked up Lobo I could barely do a 113xxCzar Toss now I get it every time, I also thought the B12, D1xxCzar Toss was simply impossible to do and after much practice I can do that too. It'll all come in time keep practicing comrade :D

"The smart stuff"
Bane combos are easiest, trust me. Not many hits, huge windows to hit his stuff, and big damage.

The one thing that might give you trouble is his command grab though, but it just takes practice.

I think you mean Aquaman is very boring.

OP don't pick AM, go with Bats, fun character and easy to pick up.

If that's what I meant I would have said so. I think he's pretty fun to play. Shazam however, might be my favorite character to play as. The op may want to try him out too. If he can get the half circle motion down, he can play shazam. Might not win as much though :-(

Batman and Black Adam are easy to use and easy to pick up. If you feel like putting time Harley and Wonder Woman are awesome.
