They Don't Call Me The Main Man For Nothing! - The Lobo General Discussion Thread.

I'm pretty sure most Lobo players at least have a top tier secondary lmao. I mean, I have a pocket GL and an Ares thats currently a WIP. But I mainly use Lobo because, despite him totally not being the playstyle I aim for in fighting games, he's just genuinely fun for me. I'm a dude that cares for DC heroes and villains as much as your next door neighbor that just finished watching TDKR, so I don't have much attachment to anyone in the game. Lobo was just the funnest DLC character they released, for me.

If you play someone long enough whether you get ass kicked 10-20 times in a row, eventually you'll learn how to make holes in their strategy.

Plus on block.
Cuz if winning was the only thing that mattered, we play someone else. We want to win with Lobo. The more we play him, the more you realize those hopeless match ups aren't as hopeless as we originally thought.
I didn't say anything about winning or losing mattering.


It's about being able to actually do things in a match.


Fighting people like KFrost or Sinestro(especially with trait) with Lobo is not even a little fun for me, which sucks because fun is the reason I like videogames so much.

10/10. Laughed for hours, called the Main Man, called the Justice League, called the Yellow Lantern Corps, Called Black Adam, Called Lex Luthor, opened all cells in Arkham, released Doomsday, formatted my hard-drive, nuked Metropolis and launched Injustice.

PFFT! Why does this guy have a soul calibur character as his pic in a injustice forum? What a loser. Right guys?
Guys?

I barely know four things about GL, but can blow up people that would give my Lobo problems with him. I play BG a little too, but not as scrubbily.

If you say this reference to the match-up guide any useful information you may have is welcome. I tagged all the Lobo supporters/mains that are active on the forum.
 
Let's make hook charge an overhead starter, even though he has instant air facedive which leads to the exact same oki situation as charge on hit

Lobo needs more armor like Grundy and Bane, even though MB Hook Charge has armor and is used as the get-in tool for Lobo. Oh and Lobo has the best forward dash in the game. But he needs more mobility, give him a tri-dash.

his trait is useless, even though it increases his already good damage potential, makes you choose between eating a high-low situation or getting scooped. It also has a meaty toss setup. It also activates no matter what, even if you interrupt Lobo during the animation. It's shit.

Lobo is bad guys. My reasoning for this? Oh I don't have one, I'm just following suit.




Geez, if you're going to say a character is bad, follow-up with something that actually makes fucking sense.

Are you talking about the Troll thread? Because I do agree. "I beat a Lobo online the other day, so that guy must suck so bad."

Didn't Reo say somewhere that the Lobo section is just people whining for buffs, but also quit playing the character after two days because he was too low tier? And now hes trying to rub it into peoples faces for saying that two days is too early to tell whether a character is shit or not? That is some expert level trolling or lack of self awareness there (If that is Reo. I don't know the whole story on that user gishatishamaquat or what ever it is)
 
Best part about all of it? That was the last time this section is going to see that much frequent activity. Now its just back to the same 4 people talking about this character, that random "buff suggestion" thread that'll show up every now and then, and a thread on how hard it is to b3 after czar toss

Haha, probably. Just wait until he does get some buffs. The section will explode again. Cage, would you mind playing some with me sometime before next saturday and giving me some advice to help me prepare for the tournament? I'm not that great, I just want to do as well as I can. That goes for anyone else on PSN that wants to help me out.

sure, add me. If you want, I could give you some matchup experience with my second and third characters, GL and Ares. I just can't play right now tho, since I'm way too mindfucked over how idiotic some people could be.
