Which character has the best trait in the game? Vote here!

[M2Dave]

Brief Descriptions:

Aquaman - ability to block combos as long as Aquaman's feet are touching the ground.

Bane - for level 1 and 2, gains one hit of armor and increased damage output on all special moves. Level 3 breaks armor, ignores projectiles, deals more damage than any other damage boost in the game, and reduces damage taken by 30% for a mere cool down of six seconds.

Batman - summons three mechanical bats that can be released at any time unless in block or hit stun.

Black Adam - summons three unblockable orbs that do minor damage.

Doomsday - gains infinite amount of armor for a short period of time. Takes less damage and cannot be knocked down or juggled but can suffer hit stun.

Flash - considerably slows down the opponent and environment for better combo opportunities and frame traps.

Lex Luthor - gains one hit of armor. There are 3 levels of trait charge, with each cutting the amount of damage Lex Luthor takes. Level 3 reduces damage by 100%.

Martian Manhunter - improves range on all normal attacks and provides slight damage increase.

Raven - enters a stance that provides new and improved special moves that increase overall zoning and anti-zoning potential.

Sinestro - creates a construct that can release one shot at a time (for total of three) at any time unless in block or hit stun.

Solomon Grundy - performs a throw that can either increase power or health or decrease chip damage taken.

Superman - enters a state of rage in which he does more damage and breaks armor of any kind.

Zod - summons a monster that follows the opponent. The monster can perform two moves at Zod's command at any time unless in block or hit stun.

Vote and discuss!

I voted for the three most annoying which technically means they are the best since I salt rage over them.

 

[Mr. Mileena]

Zatanna because she's stupid in the corner in trait.

*non biased vote* lol

True. Perhaps I should have included Zatanna. She has a solid trait.

By the way, the following post, if made by whoever, shall be ignored.

Deathstroke.

 

[EGGXI]

Deathstroke, Joker & Cyborg.

You just don't know #Kappa

EDIT: Damn Dave beat me to it, for real though I reckon Aquaman or Zod.
EDIT 2: A strong case could be made for Bane too I think.

 

[Minh Giang]

Zod, cuz with trait he can do full screen low-overhead mixup, control the space, rushdown, zone better, free interactables,... also combo with trait is ~40%.

 

[SonicBoomBrad]

Doomsday actually can be juggled while in trait. He just falls faster.

If the Doomsday player jumps?

 

[Mighty Durpyena]

I'll just stick with my Zatanna feeling. She can get rid of 95% of your health with chip damage when you block her stars. And Lightning Pole.

Brief Descriptions:


Bane - for level 1 and 2, gains one hit of armor and increased damage output on all special moves. Level 3 breaks armor.

For level 1, gains armor on all special attacks except for super and Ring Slam. Also takes reduced damage and deals increased damage for 7 seconds on a 3 second cooldown.
Level 2 deals about as much as Superman's trait does, not including about 20% reduction to all damage taken for 7 seconds on a 4.5 second cooldown.
Level 3 has armor breaking, projectile invulnerability, deals more damage than any other trait or damage boost in the game, allows for armored f.2.d and projectile invulnerable dashes, reduces all damage taken by 30% at the cost of having that damage boost turned against us but still being the 10th fastest character in the game. Lasts for 7 seconds on a 6 second cooldown.

All levels can be forced off through animation, clash, or transition into their respective cooldowns.
All cooldowns can be reset to level 1 debuff through the same means.


A brief decription really doesn't do it justice. You might as well have wrote "Doesn't care about wake-ups for 21 seconds. At level 3, doesn't care about anything ever. Has to care for 6 seconds unless you're 95% of the cast in which case "cooldown is a bill" ala @GGA Max "

 

[HellblazerHawkman]

Wanted to give Hawkgirl props, but it's too easy to shut her trait down. Bane got my vote, that Venom damage is too insane

 

[SonicBoomBrad]

If the Doomsday player jumps?

Yeah you'd have to jump into something but it is possible.

 

[EMPRESS_SunFire]

Hawkgirl would have a top 5 trait if not much characters were able to shut her down.

My vote goes for Zod, it gives him great interactable control, chip damage, mix ups, full-screen 50/50's.

 

[Doombawkz]

Yeah you'd have to jump into something but it is possible.

I know Bane can mess with him by looping b.1 at close range, and when he is in the air if the Bane has the right timing we can shave off like 50% of it by doing b.1 air juggles like we have in the corner.

I understand your point.

But to be fair, I could have written paragraphs for Batman's, Sinestro's, and Zod's traits too. They perform many more functions than their brief definition suggests.

Zod's trait is probably the best overall. Martian Manhunter's trait is the most underrated. Deathstroke's and Cyborg's are the two worst. At least Joker's and Shazam's have some minor applications.

 

[Glass Sword]

Zod he turns the game into Marvel vs Capcom. That assist trait it is two vs one.

 

[ColdBoreMK23]

1. Sinestro- With trait out he becomes top 3 IMO. It completely changes the way you can play the character and can actually.go HAM up close.

2. Aquascum- who doesn't like a free get out of jail free card? Was much better during vanilla but still one of the best.

3. Zod- i'm just going by what I see on stream from Pig and other Zods. Makes Zod even better than he is.

Those are my 3.


Three worst:
1. Joker
2. Deathstroke
3. Scorpion

 

[Doombawkz]

I understand your point.

I understand your point as well, but none of those are as complex as Bane's venom which provides multiple different properties over the slate of three levels. Zods would be the second closest, but Batman and Sinestro don't really have any explicit functionality that changes between shots barring having more of them. One shot is the same as three shots, one bat (for the most part) is the same as three bats.

I'm more bothered that you didn't mention the damage reduction as it actually is a decently big thing, and the projectile invulnerability is probably one of the main assets on level 3 which also went unmentioned as well as armor on f.2.d which is probably the biggest thing. I'm not requesting a full write up (I did that myself) but don't leave out such key features!

Its also a bit unfair to not mention the cooldown. Even though I want Bane's trait to be the best, thats an inevitable detail that must be listed otherwise it looks overpowered compared to some others.

 

[M2Dave]

@Doombawkz, I made some changes.

Batman has 10 votes thus far. @FOREVER KING 's downplaying exposed?

Also, only 4 votes so far for Sinestro? Y'all fools are angering @WoundCowboy.

And no votes for Raven?

 

[NoobHunter420]

zod w/o a doubt.
traited zod is the best rush down and zoning character.
it come out way too fast

Eh... "A mere cooldown" makes it really sound like a bill. I mean it is, but not to that degree.
"In exchange for a debilitating cooldown which increases damage taken and reduces mobility" would be more accurate, but I mean its your list. You could even copy paste that quote if you want, if it'd make it easier.
I appreciate the expansion though. You almost make Bane sound top 10 xD

 

[A F0xy Grampa]

WW's trait basically nullifies clash in the 2nd round in alot of matches, or forces you to clash immediately in which case she'll win the clash anyway.
Not saying its the best, but thats my breakdown of what it is. (After this long)

 

[DevilMaySpy]

Voted Zod for obvious reasons.

 

[M2Dave]

it come out way too fast

It needs to come out faster versus Martian Manhunter.

 

[shinobispectre]

... Realistically Zod or Superman. But personally? Shazam not trying to be annoying with just calling Shazam. Or at least pre patch Shazam/Black Adam traits were no joke.
