Yeah, I know. That's why I mentioned in the beginning that these are my predictions if everyone stays pretty much the same. What if the game never really changed much, though?Haha -- 1 year predictions are hard to make, man. Mostly because a lot of these things were changed by patches and hotfixes, rather than just the metagame.
Batman isn't good anymore. Nerf coming on trait. Cross him off your list.
and GLThe only one that's completely off base right now is Nightwing
I said Catwoman was better then Killer Frost to begin with and everyone denied it. Being fairly serious I'm probably within the Top 5 people in terms of knowledge of Injustice outside of people who actually worked on the game or has anything I've said on here ever been wrong...
Can we talk about prepatch B23?Prepatch batman and aqua were both a little ridiculous too, when you think about the lack of anti-airs but aqua having it and all of his mixups and a better trait, and batmans trait always being out...
- Cyborg
He will become some players most hated match-up. I can see the anger already. Cyborg will get better as time passes while players take time to get their execution and set-ups down.
Yeah, prepatch flash and bane were huge threats...These were pretty good actually. A few of them were dead on(Hawkgirl, Flash, Bane) and a some that are off are mostly because of patches(Superman, Cyborg)
The only one that's completely off base right now is Nightwing
Check the date.I'm curious why he still thinks Superman is #1. Sure he is still the "corner king" but his midscreen game is lacking..
Those are both characters that got significantly better outside of the buffs they received. It's hard to know how they good they would have been exactly, but they got patched in the direction he predicted so he ends up looking good. Either way, he had the right idea. At the time this thread was made people were saying those characters were terrible, but by our current understanding of the meta probably weren't actually that badYeah, prepatch flash and bane were huge threats...
You have to admit though that both Flash and Bane are being played very differently today than they were a year ago. I don't know much about Flash, but I do know that Bane's Venom use has changed drastically. In the beginning people were too afraid of the cooldown to risk spamming it like they do now. Now that Bane players are less afraid of trait cooldown due to the player's ability to keep momentum going during cooldown or knowledge of the damage they can do to make up for whatever happens during cooldown, now we are really seeing what the character was always capable of.Yeah, prepatch flash and bane were huge threats...
Bane and Flash would get in a LOT harder if Flash in particular has trouble getting in, even with his current dash. The "meta" at the time was about interactibles and would have continued, had they not been nerfed. Flash had no way to stop you from holding back to walk away from him, Bane had no dash, original and failed venom design as well as less venom duration, more debuff, no MBable DP and punishable by some DP (IIRC).Those are both characters that got significantly better even outside of the buffs they recieved.

Flash in particular didn't get that much from patches. He actually got nerfed in 1.06 and in the version of the game that existed when Reo posted this half the reason people thought he was wrong was because they were going off incorrect frame data
That's because he gets in easier, is actually able to use it and the duration was buffed.You have to admit though that both Flash and Bane are being played very differently today than they were a year ago.

The only Bane buff I'm on the fence about is the removal of the ability to Evade his Dash. I mean, it fits his character but from a gameplay perspective man is that shit annoying
NW isn't a bill...lolLet's see what happened in the last year...
Nightwing: Overhyped. A bill.
Oh my. What a mouth I had a year ago BUT I WAS DAMN RIGHTWhat about DS? Even without getting Kanofied I feel like he'd at least be Noob Saibot. He's a good all-around character. No nerfs, could buff but nah. Although I can smell new tech months from now since his meta game so far is pretty scrubby. So who knows?
See? I can write a semi wall of text from my phone too. Bitch...
