Question 50 Shades of Grey Roleplay Thread

[TRY_HARD]

Aquaman needs a new move: From the Above (FTA):

-Targets the opponent's location.
-Is overhead of course.
-Can be directed front or back, creating a 50/50.
-4% chip damage on block.
-+8f advantage on block.
-MB version is multihit (6 hits).
-MB version gives +16f advantage.
-MB version pops up for a combo.
-Each use of MB FTA reduces trait cooldown by 1/3 of a second.

Maybe he could be mid tier if they gave him this #BuffAM

So more or less... Zod MB lazers?

That's even funnier. You saying to people taking this game seriously "it's just a video game" but you do give your own money for seeing players in action in a video game instead of yourself.
Such irony T_T

Anyway, I know your opinion, you know mine.

you clearly don't know the meaning of the word irony,what's me helping players get to tournaments got to do with the fact that it's just a game?

 

[AZ MotherBrain]

Dare I say he could be considered a "Sonya" character?

 

[Redk9]

Why are there at least 7 comparisons to MK in every Injustice thread?

 

[Juggs]

Dat false dichotomy. Kudos to those who knows what that is.

 

[Tom Brady]

There are a lot of good Aquaman players. Riyo, Flawed, Mike, Insayyne, etc.. We arent even close to deep into the games life span. Let everyone develop and the end results will tell the story.

whenever I make a return to TYM after a hiatus, I quickly realize why I dont post ant strats or info, and gladly return to my silence.

Good idea, reenforce the notion you know nothing by not sharing. because you arent winning, you arent sharing. next time you decide to take a hiatus between blessed appearances on TYM we will be sure to prepare the red carpet and welcome aquaman of the world with a celebration. you can attend as well, would you like to commentate?

 

[FrozenG3oX]

Aquaman is the best character in the game at this current moment. He has 0 losing matchups and maybe five or six 5-5 matchups.

But after this patch comes out alot of characters are getting nerfed hard, and Aquaman isn't one of them. So Aquaman is going to continue to be the best character in the game, continue to have 0 losing matchups, and only have maybe three or four 5-5 matchups after the patch. I guess Aquaman players just aren't delivering if they can't win with a character like that, especially post patch. That's almost like playing MK9 and none of the Kabals placing top 8. LOL. Don't make me pick up this character

You, sir...are wrong

I like how the entire community is like "If you don't share you're a bad bad person". Yeah well I had to find my techs on my own and even when I share them you guys miss it and then after a few months find it on your own and say "ERMEHGAWD NEW TECHZ JKBKJAKJF".

Teach a man to fish and whatnot. Some things are wasted on the community, hence why we made a character council. Not sharing your secrets with the world, however, isn't a crime. Its a matter of who you share it with, and if Tom says you don't deserve this or that, then you don't deserve this or that. Find it on your own, you shouldn't need someone else to tell you how to play your character.

I could either say "what's making those players pissed off or not has something to do with the fact that it's just a game ?".


Yeah because to me it's more chocking to see people giving their own money for other playing instead of themselves than seeing someone pissed off for losing (or losing the money some other guys have given to for example).

Explain how. Explain what matchups Aquaman loses and why. The only reasonable matchup I could possibly see him lose in is Black Adam. But honestly I believe it's 5-5. Than Aquaman has 5-5 matchups vs Killer Frost, Raven, Superman...... But after the patch, he won't have 5-5 matchups vs Superman and Black Adam, he will win vs them. So that leaves him with 0 losin matchups and only 3-4 even matchups.

Explain to me otherwise

Im glad to know I am not the only one who thinks Raven v. Aqua is 5-5

6-4 Bane, bruh.

We can standing jab and beat all of his wake-ups... Also his zoning is really not great and is single hit. He doesn't have a good enough backdash to dissuade us from keeping pressure, the Mb b.3 while far reaching is slow enough to where most everything we do will eat through it... He lacks a reliable way to break armour and his main tool for avoiding pressure, being the trait, is nullified by the fact that everything that isn't an instant launch usually ticks into command throw for free. The only thing he has in this fight is his d.2 making our useless air game even more useless, and the fact that he does have some kind of projectile. Outside of that, its not even a challenge.

I disagree. One of the best Banes in the US lives in my house. And when I play him with Aquaman I usually win. Trident scoop his two hits and breaks armor, so that stops alot of Bane's game. Trident Rush? lol. Most of Aquaman's normals have much farther reach than Bane so I can space him out. 6-4 Aquamang

Yeah -- you train a lot, which is great; but as far as playing in locals, you went to what; 2 NLBCs, one Break. Compare that to Rico, who's been to an incalculable number of NLBCs, KDZ and Riyo who have been at nearly every edition of the Break, and the 3 SoCal players from EVO Top 8 who have made maybe 60-90% of WNFs since Injustice was released.

Meanwhile, a lot of great MK players like you, Jr., Reo, Maxter have mostly been training behind the scenes.

It wasn't a dig at you or any of those players; it's just an observation of how people's constant participation in smaller tournaments seems to prepare them well for competing at the larger events.

Clearly, we should learn from Crimson Shadow's AM and his many, many tournament placings.

Those are simple facts about results; and they're true no matter who you hear them from.

It's not like I'm expounding upon some grand deep mystery of the tournament universe.. lol

 

[haketh]

I don't see how anyone can't see this chaarcter Top 5.

 

[Chaosphere]

What weaknesses does this character have?

Tourney results kinda matter but for real... Even if I won every tourney with lobo... It wouldn't make lobo a top tier character.

Aquaman shines when he can turtle and dictate the pace of the match.

In the MUs where he's forced to play more aggressively and can't check with FTD is where his shortcomings appear.

And that's the thing about his MUs, he either dominates completely or struggles to establish a life lead.

 

[ColdBoreMK23]

I broke my back... It's spinal.

 

[STB Shujinkydink]

He's a good character, nobody in injustice is fundamentally strong enough to bring out his potential. Especially with the plethora of random shit in this game

 

[LEGEND]

Any actual Aquaman mains disagree with this list of even MUs for Aquaman:

Flash
NW
Grundy
Superman
Doomsday
Hawkgirl
Green Lantern
Black Adam
Killer Frost
Shazam*
Raven*

* = only have heard about how mu is, never played it or seen it

if he loses one of these MUs thats just as well. I honestly think Aquaman is fine if he has this many MU where he actually has to put in work to win

i don't even know who to tag. . .

I think the larger issue is that you're being WAY to hard on a guy who has done some pretty solid things for the community.

I know you're an "Engineer" and all, but I have to wonder how you can blow Tom up for tourney placings when you don't place or attend at all. I don't either, but I don't go ham and take shots at a guy who does just because he isn't doing it as much as others.

Man, it must suck to be a top player in this community with stuff like that.
