Luthor is a hybrid I think.

He seems to rely on zoning half the time, then pop his trait, get armour, and follow up close with insane traps and damage.

Telling you, Black Adam is going to end up as a pressure character. Between that hilarious full screen lightning, those orbs and all the electrotraps... dat divekick it's just going to be really hard to get away from him. I predict a lot of people just sitting there eating chip damage and formulating angry patch demands.

HOLY SHIT I'M CONFUSED, DAFUQ KINDA TYPE IS RAVEN?!
My guess is to think Izayoi from BlazBlue. Just use her standard mode to fill the screen with a shiny purple obstacle course, then find your moment, hit the Demon button and go in LOL OVERDRIVEN hilarity until your meter bleeds out entirely.

He is referring to the Raven vs. Black Adam thread where you said she wasn't a zoner, therefore she must be rushdown lol.
Black and white aren't the only colors in the Crayola box.

She could be based on footsies... But I think my prediction that she transitions between being spacing and mix-up oriented is correct.

Its not a tier list though, its a gameplay description. And I don't see her gameplay as zoning in any capacity. She uses hammers and pistols to extend combos, not really to zone.
He's saying something along the lines of it's just as useless as a pre-release tier list.

It amazes me how seriously people take concepts that can only just barely be proven even when all variables are known.

To be fair, if we know quite a lot about the game. If I called Green Arrow a grappler, you'd look at me funny. I just don't see anything that makes her any kind of zoner.

It's just for fun atm for me, I love to speculate and predict things of this nature. You don't have to take it serious to participate. :)

I'm not gonna rob you of speculation, but this is all shenanigans, like a tier list before anyone's even played the game. If you wanna call GA a grappler, go ahead, I can't refute you.

Edit: Just keep in mind, its this kind of "fun" that gets characters branded top tier or broken with no actual proof, and then you just have scrubs bouncing around forums saying the sky is falling the sky if falling.

When I got to play him I was far more succesful zoning with him(though I haven't found a good antiair yet, but his backdash is godlike, so he might be not intended for midscreen zoning), but he does feel like that once you've got someone to come to you he then starts rushdown pressure. I had trouble getting in on a green arrow, but he did much better just fighting arrow with the zone specials. Can't wait to experiment more with him ont he 19th though :D
