Who is the hardest and/or most technical character to use?

[BehindTheLight]

You know how you always hear that Superman is braindead and OP, what about the other side of that coin? Who do you think takes the most skill/hardest character to use?

IMO (I could be 100% wrong, just how I feel) ZOD and Sinestro are definitely up there because it to me (unlike other chars) it seems like you have to work so hard to win.

With ZOD you have to always try and get your trait out and do ground laser mix-ups in order to get your grab to land. Plus I feel like Zod's combos and strings are very strange. Then with Sinestro you are constantly trying to build your trait.

What about Lex or Joker?

Just looking for some input from others on this.

Zatanna's up there.

 

[xInfra Deadx]

Martian Manhunter, Zod, Cyborg, Green Arrow, Zatanna are all non user-friendly characters.

i dont think Zod's that hard he does have some difficult combos but some easy 1 bar 40% ones too, his trait is hard to get out and use effectively though

 

[G4S Killin Natzees]

Lobo

 

[CHAINSAW305]

Flash

 

[AK Stormthegates]

Lobo, Zatanna, MMH Zod and Grundy are probably the hardest characters to play at a technical level.

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

Zod, MMH and Zatanna.

Joker is tough to play, that character gives me a headache

 

[EMPRESS_SunFire]

Well! Zatanna is being the most difficult for me....
* Plenty of bad/even match ups
* she has no easy match up, literally no easy match up (Maybe Lobo)
* Her options are so much
* Her set ups need a brain to be performed
* You must be SO strategical with her
* Your meter management must be pretty, pretty solid

Execution wise there is nothing hard about this game at all. A couple hours in practice maybe a day or two and you will be good to go.

Characters who require setups are more difficult to play simply because you have to be ready for any situation.

Additionally, characters that have more lopsided matches than not are probably going to be more difficult than characters who have no bad MUs.

In terms of difficulty to use in the neutral game (spacing, footsies, pokes, mobility etc), then I would say Zatanna is number one by a mile because she doesn't have one tool that dominates her design (aka f23), but rather one must learn/use many of her tools to win at a top level. This is why I main Zatanna

DAMN YOUR KOOOOOOLLLL!!!!!

 

[NoxiousDonny]

I don't think Joker is too hard to play.

Probably Cyborg, Zatanna, Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow.

 

[Zoidberg747]

DAMN YOUR KOOOOOOLLLL!!!!!

Sorry. If you want to see what real execution barriers are try playing anime games or even Capcom games.

NRS games have always had low levels of execution compared to other fighters. I personally like this as it forces players to focus more on developing MUs and fundamentals then spending weeks in practice mode trying to master one frame links.

I like all fighting games man.

 

[Zoidberg747]

So do I.

Saying NRS games have a low execution barrier doesnt take anything away from the players, it just means that they have a lot of game specific knowledge along with fundamentals.

That being said, even the easiest of combos can be harder to do under pressure. So there is that.

I agree with this because in Capcom games (street fighter 4 series), the one-frame links are so difficult that it almost forces players to get a stick because there are easier methods for hitting them. In NRS games none of this exists. This is why at Injustice/MK9 tournaments, many more people play on pad vs joystick.

Idk about that... I feel both games can be difficult to execute at times. Imo it's easier to play a Capcom game or any other. Idk why this is but with me NRS games are harder to execute.

 

[Linkuei82]

1. Zatanna
2. MMH
3. Zod

 

[CHAINSAW305]

I don't get it. For me MMH and Zod are NOT!... the most difficult players to use or play against people.
