if you could anti-air with D2 prior to v1.05 I commend you. normal people had to guess the jump in, one couldn't react. it was average for a grounded move. no question its gdlk now.
The only chars I had trouble was Batman and Black Adam,but most time it would trade.

I'm normal just like everyone else

good reactions there, but how is trading most of the time gdlk? if you could react like that, then it was average at best. no question about it now though, its amazing. can't cross joker up, and the horizontal reach against grounded opponents is ridiculous.

So jokers is better now? Maaaayybe mid tier character?


Won't get patch til the morn..
well joker can cancel d2 into teeth, so once joker players figure out a way to convert his teeth loop better, it's possible we can get big damage off AAs. that would move him up the list a bit for sure, low mid tier at best if the damage is substantial. add in his parry/HA buff improvements and yeah he's all around better, just a bit though. If he gets what most Joker players want, which is a F2 overhead and some type of tweaks to air laughing gas and crowbar specials, he'll be good to go. those two specials are utterly useless now, not even for combos.

As Arturo Sanchez said this will change to some degree (in my opinion, it will highly affect some matchups) the neutral game, and only for good. Good AAs encourages footsies and good behaviors as players, and this D2 buff is definetly going to be the push I needed to get back to the game for testing. Although I am playing SSFIV:AE for attending tthe Dreamhack Summer Edition in a decent shape, I certainly can't wait to test Lex's new D2 AA.

Also, next WNF will be specially interesting to watch for getting a look how players early apply this new universal AAs.

- EDIT - Universal AAs my ass. Characters who needed it, as Lex or HQ, their D2 is still useless as AA, but Green Lantern or Batman now have awesome D2 AAs. Also right now best D2 AA of the game is Flash one, and he needed it, but it's a fucking coincidence because how the animation looks, not intentional. NRS just don't know what they do regarding updates, it's pure lazyness.
