General/Other Batman Nerf?

Rude

You will serve me in The Netherrealm
Batman is not even CLOSE to being the Kabal of this game.
For one thing, the execution barrier isn't the same.
He has holes in his best pressure strings.
Most of his specials are unsafe, making them terrible wake-up attacks.
He can't counterpoke effectively due to the extremely short range on d1
He really does need his bats. They are how he counter-zones, fills gaps in his mediocre strings,and counter-pokes.
Without them, he really can't do those things.

I like doing D2 with aquaman in the middle of a 223 string :D
 
Dont hate, WW is definitely not a Kabal lol.
I'd say she's a Sonya/JC type of character.
Oh no don't get me wrong I'm not hating on characters in particular. I think WW, SM, FLash ect are cool characters with amazing and fun looking moves to play as. I'm just pissed at NRS the way they nerf characters who need no nerfing but do just because the character in question is the Mr. Popularity of the moment and buff those who need to be nerfed.

Where's TJ Combo?
REO are you going to main DS now? cause I can see a lot of holes on his gameplay already!
He seems kinda weak to me tbh and I dont even like or use him.

Deathstroke is another one who needs to be buffed up. His in close offensive game is weak. But just because sobbing newbs haven't figured out how to get around his pistol zoning yet NRS will downgrade him to a garbage level character.
 
mark my words: Batman and Deathstroke will become the Scorpion and Sub-Zero of IGAU. Great iconic characters reduced to garbage level tier status.

Yea I get you, loads of popular characters got pointless nerfs near the beginning of MK9, SZ, JC (F32 nutpunch, still one of my favourite things in MK9), Jade and KL to an extent among others.

I wouldn't say WW is quite on par with batman, trait nerfed or not.

Well I've been experimenting with numerous characters and WW is one character I found to be a low-key secret weapon in this game. Her both style movesets, specials, dynamics, parry, meter building, offense, defense and air game is soooo dynamically amazing she borderlines IMO as an OP character that will possibly slip under the nerf radar due to her not living in the spotlight like Bruce Wayne.

No it's not.
 
Play footsies like every other character when your bats are down to get in. Batman is great even without the bats. Batman has insane stagger string potential and start threatening a parry every once in a while or a random MBDC. Stop relying so much on bats.

DS is not weak just other chars have so much better tools to get in and once they are in he is screwed! up close game is semi-decent.
His up close game is more than decent. He's not screwed when anybody gets in.

He needs his bats. go play batman and try to win without using his bats. they are super important
