Doesn't matter.
The character STILL can't get in on smart zoners.
The character STILL has no wake-up tools. He's free to jump ins.
The character still has shitty combo options. They hurt like crazy, but they're shitty. Slow b+2 that is HIGHLY reactable. 1 frame link into a dbf+2 that is hard to do and HAS to be meter burned to do some damage.
It pissed me off how Paulo said yesterday on ECT stream that Lobo doesn't need buffs because he has an infinite with his face dive.
His trait is still the worst trait in the game. It should be as fast as green arrow's and like green arrow's it should be allowed to immediatly prepare it after any move. That for it to be useful in a match against players that don't go "durr".
These are the types of dlc characters we're getting?
They get their 5 min fame and then get dropped by everyone. Why play Lobo when you can play Batman? Or Aquaman? Or any other character in the roster?
I think you're over reacting a little bit. His combos are easy when you actually practice them. Having bad wakeups isn't the end of the world, if you're good at blocking you'll still be ok, it just means you can't mash your way out of pressure.
The character isn't amazing, but it kinda feels like you're making him out to be worse than he actually is. His trait isn't worse than the jokers trait, as I said before, it's a damaging low at any point, you can at least get standing 3 into low chain for aabout 25%, which isn't awful considering its from block and is safe and requires no meter.
