We'll probably know what Shazam's about, he is in a heavy lead in the poll on Facebook
They could have some kind of bonus match, either they pit the two leaders of the poll against each other, either they put Shazam vs. Black Adam, that way we clearly see the differences between the two.

Since we have to deal with Shazam regardless, I really hope he fights Bane. He deserves it more than literally anybody next to Deathstroke, but he wasn't in the Battle Arena.

I updated the neogaf copypasta with that Harley Quinn info about the flower. Thanks for this guys. Also thanks for the combo montage thread. It made some people happy over there.

Circus Deathstroke's recovery doesn't seem too horrible on his weapons, it seems more like his AR just lasts a while. Definitely more than Cyborg, but it doesn't look bad enough to hinder him like it likely will with say, Wonder Woman's tiara throw. More than fair considering all his options though.

I thought grundy's was like an invincibility type thing? Watch his fight vs Green Lantern in the Battle Arena and didn't he just walk through Green Lantern's gatling gun?

What has me curious is that perfect aim ability that guarantees an unblockable gunshot for awhile followed by and equal time period of gun misses. If you can guarantee a hit that can equal a win. Good players will abuse something like that if it can combo into anything worth looking at (like any decent length combo ending in his super if possible).

Does he not have to aim the shot or can people jump over it or dodge it like normal just not block it? How good is he without this tool (does he need it to offset something)? Are his combos smaller if they start with a gun shot rather than use them later?

Lots to check out with Deathstroke and his gimmick. It seems scarier than the Catwoman unblockable which seems to require a combo into it...unless of course she can do hers from a block string. I guess in general any gimmick that is unblockable is something that raises my curiosity as I want to know how abusable it can be in the right hands. I know my arrow hyper is gonna be pretty douchey :)

He can't aim but he has a standing, crouching, and air shot with his pistols and two grenade launchers for grounded and AA opponents so far so it's not like he's easy to avoid. I'm not too sure about how much hitstun he has either but he obviously has some vicious mind-games, hitting you with a low unblockable only to shoot you out of the air from half a screen away. I hope his debuff isn't as long, it'd really mess up his game if he doesn't have a fast way in/good CQC.

It doesn't look like he has long combos to begin with to be honest(all the footage sucks), but I bet instant air pistols on an air opponent gives him a free stand/crouching pistol shot. ;) The biggest problem right now is that Deathstroke has probably been shown the least next to Bane. Even Catwoman's gotten people to play her in demos.

Setup losers bracket for the Battle Arena lol.

Im really eager to pit arrow vs pistol with GA vs DS in this game honestly. Both are two different styles of space control and both look fun. It really looked like the epitome of in and out with him because his character reveal didn't show anything long. Im just curious how harsh his zoning would end up though if his meter burn on things was a cancel to link moves. Projectiles canceling into other projectiles is really scary to imagine.

Hawkgirl's trait might allow for her air combos to be extended even further...

Her air to air combos look awesome

Are you guys sure about Deathstrokes trait? With his gunshots becoming unblockable, when he activates it?
I could swear that in one interview Hector Sanchez said that his trait gives him the ability to work more with his rifle or something like that, which deals a ton of damage, so you want to stay up close, when it comes to him, because if not, he will **** fuck you up from the distance.

Well, if his rifle also becomes unblockable, that description would kind of fit with the current description of the trait we have, because you'll want to stay up close, you don't want to mess with Deathstroke's unblockable sniper rifle at full range. We still have no idea of what specials Deathstroke has beside his pistol shots and his AA sniper burst.

It's a sniper? I thought it was an assault rifle lol

Uh yeah sorry I meant assault rifle, I keep writing sniper though, might be because of the huge scope of something.
A sniper attack like Radec's in All-Stars would be baller though. Imagine that shit being unblockable LOL

That'd be something, maybe his rifle is settable between full-auto and semi-automatic. I can imagine a move with some start-up where he crouches and shoots, but it's unblockable, that'd be nice, good idea. He'll probably have something related to grenades or smoke bombs like in MKvDC too.

Throw a grenade (that needs some time to explode like Cyrax's bomb) when the opponent jumps hit them with air pistol shot, they fall back into the nade and then you follow with huge ass sniper shot. BOOM.

I can't wait to work on them stance cancels with Nightwing. The possibilities are limitless... going from Escrima into a staff knockdown and OTG with Ground Spark in the corner and keeping them in check with long range pokes.
