Cyborg. Why you ask? Because all he has is Kabal Zoning. Which is fine. But why doesn't he have any good rushdown tools. I mean he was an athlete and now he is part-man, part-machine that is connected to everything that is digital! He can even teleport!!! But why doesnt he have a teleport in this game? Batgirl does!! Really?! Batgirl has a teleport but not Cyborg?! The fuck NRS!!!

deathstroke is one of the better character designs, it would be better if they fixed his trait and made it more useful, if they fixed that he might be the best designed character in the game. @General M2Dave dont you agree?

scorpion is the worst design imo, no favourable risk reward game at all, horrible neutral game as well. The teleport is basically what people feared and it could create mixups. But now against a lot of the cast it is not a mixup because they nerfed both the teleport and jump attacks. It doesnt grant you a favorable risk/reward and it is not safe either. If they ever patch scorpion, they should just give him a better neutral game and the teleport shenanigans can stay because they are risky and low damage anyway.

Voted for cyborg for reasons others have already stated.

But a personal issue I have with the design of Deathstroke is they didn't give him his most iconic weapon.. his staff. They made him a jack of all trades which I really like but all of his moves, while useful, are extremely boring and generic. Nightwing is no longer Robin but still uses a staff while Deathstroke almost always uses a staff in his comics but turned out to be much less than what he could have been IMO. /rant

That's cool, but IMO they didn't do him justice. Doesn't the story revolve around him making Superman turn over to the Dark side? He's the reason this shit happens, and yet... He's still... the way he is lol.

Well his mind is the greatest powerhouse, but his body is just human, his toys and gadgets are part of his personality cause he makes them. It would be cool if he could play with quotes in MBs you think? Like pissing you off so you couldn't hold back for 2 secs, or break your confidence and reduce your dmg... Oh shit I'd love this

I write too much.
Cyborg hands down. He has a moveset that doesn't work with itself, was balanced around amazing frame data which gave him multiple infinites but then got nothing in return when those were understandably nerfed.
His only real move at this point is IA fireballs, but the execution requirement is high for something which ultimately isn't even all that great.

Not only is he the shittiest character in the game, his design is complete garbage too.

I feel like they did Joker all wrong. He's is arguably the most popular villain in comic history yet in the one games he's in they made him all wrong. I feel like he should have been OP! He's The Joker! I also would have liked a Heath Ledger skin too, but that's neither here nor there.

I disagree. Regardless of how good or bad he is as a character, his design fits him pretty well (Except for the trait).
Joker is, as a villain, a rather ruthless but gimmicky character, always using themed traps and convoluted plans to achieve his goals (Which often enough aren't even winning, just breaking Batman's resolve) and is not above kicking/beating/killing a man when he's down.

In this game, he's a setup and trap based character who uses a variety of themed tools to set up nasty "unblockable" situations. His MB crowbar also allows him to set up OTGs, "unblockables", ambiguous crossup setups and sometimes a combination of these qualities, allowing him to bully you on knockdown.
He also tries to push you to the corner, which is where he is straight up unfair.

All of this sounds exactly like how Joker should play in a fighting game. The only thing that doesn't fit is his trait, which seems extremely generic.

I have a two way tie with cyborg and the joker for one main reason, they're trait. The one thing that's supposed to really help you out in this game in certain situations and that is also what the character is built around. they're traits aren't good. It makes no sense that joker can't wait up on trait but every other character that has a parry can wakeup with that. But when he gets a couple of ha's he moves incredibly fast but then that can easily throw off timing for combos, unless if you go into training mode and practice his BNBs with the ha's, but I doubt joker players do that. Cyborgs trait is just garbage. I've never seen it put to good use and probably never will. And cyborg has no midscreen game other than IANB and NB. And jokers zoning tools are horrid, you can see them coming from a mile away.

im confused as to why people are saying Scorpion, pretty much all his moves are from MK9 lol unless you mean from a balance standpoint but he deserves to suck he shouldnt be in the game at all

worst designed are Shazam and Cyborg, Cyborg is just shit tier and has nothing, Shazam as made into a stupid command grab character, he can fly and has the goddamn speed of mercury but has shitty mobility, walks and no air dash lol also his MB lightning bolt has more startup and no armor.......wut?
MMH from a moveset standpoint is impressive they showcased all his powers nicely but they purposely designed him to be the best in the game by far and thats some bullshit lol why would you nerf prepatch supes and adam just to make him as bad as them if not worse? nrs pls

Also I think about this not even entirely from a fighting game standpoint, but a character background standpoint. For example, shazam is a twelve year old boy in a powerful superhumans body, an I think he plays like it, a rushdown character that if he makes mistakes or gets sloppy he loses his momentum, which is something a clumsy boy might do. Even if it makes him low tier.
What I Don't understand is how batgirl can be crippled for years and missing out on all the years of training / superpowers the rest of the cast has, can just take some magic superman pills and suddenly is top tier, going toe to toe with kryptonians, power ring wielders, Martians, the fastest man alive, undead, and humans already in peak physical condition on performance enhancing g drugs. This character is stupid

He used to be the best designed character before NRS normalized and turned him into another boring 50/50 rush down character.

I voted for Cyborg, whose character design can be summed up in one sentence. "Hey, let's give this character a poor man's version of Kabal's instant aerial gas blast and make everything else shit".

Joker for sure. I would say he's one of the more popular characters in the game and was really looking forward to playing him in this game. At the same time though, given his goofy personality, I'm not sure what they could have done to make him more appealing.

Nut Breaker
I have to say Lobo. They made his trait and a lot of his gameplay revolve around his shot gun. Even though guns are apart of his arsenal, Lobo's big trick is that he heals. He has come back from one drop of blood. Even in books where he didn't have his superman levels of durability and strength, he at least had his healing.

Instead where left with nuclear shells and Cyborg gets the healing. I've never seen Cyborg heal in a match.

NRS is full of scrubs, why would they nerf f32?
THE STRING NAME IS UNSTOPPABLE, YOU SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
Joker and shazam have pretty wack game designs.
DLC has great character design, except the bat bitch.

Best Doomsday in the world
Doomsday. Designing a character around a gimmick (earth shaker). And giving him an armored trait on top of having armored venom is kind of counter productive to me. I would've much rather had a damage trait or something. But that's just me. Other than that he has a really solid defense game so I can't complain much.

Also like Frost and WW's triat. Why design characters with useless traits? The fact that they're still really good without them is kinda silly to me. I don't necessarily think Cyborg is a bad design. Just one that's really hard to balance properly. Same thing with Ares.

WAR SEASON "THE WEAK EXPOSED!"
heres my opinion

from a moveset point of view: MMH, not because he has a teleport, thats canon and fits well, but when i see MMH hes normally all about shape shifting and phasing through stuff, which you dont really see in his move set. I thought it'd be awesome if his trait had something to with phasing, like he'd become projectile invincible for a certain amount of time, or something like that. I feel like he should have some sort of special or normal where he goes into a different shape or something. they had plenty of potential and i feel they didnt abuse it enough.

from a overall character point of view: nightwing, i know hes my main but trust me im not being biased, im sure everyone will agree with me on this if they know anything about the character. hes an ACROBAT, even more acrobatic than batman and dare i say catwoman, he should have a double jump, or a grapple similar to cyborgs, a faster walk speed or SOMETHING. Seriously, i wouldn't be surprised if nightwing in staff stance has the slowest walk speed in the game. to be good with nightwing, u have to be patient and choose your openings, i feel as if he should be a fast paced rushdown mixup heavy character (similar to spiderman in umvc3, u play as him and he actually feels like spiderman) i just dont get that same vibe from nightwing.

as far as looks: raven.... i mean WTF!? i know NRS is famous for not having the prettiest females, nor do i believe raven should be good looking at all, but if u ask me she looks NOTHING like any of her previous interations. the closest they came was with the teen titans skin and that barely looks like the raven i remember, all they really gave her was the same color cloak and skin. i mean shes hideous, absolutely ugly lol

other characters..

cyborg, could've had more tools, hes a cyborg for christ sake, he has like 2 moves.. he should have like 20.

ares... the god of war.. he could've had more things to utilize, i mean for the god of war you would think he would have more than just a sword and an axe right?

green arrow.. this is probably just a personal thing but i totally thought he was going to be a complete zoning character. that wasnt the case :(
