NRS games kind of play like a MOBA in terms of balance. There is always some character that rises to tippy top. Everyone picks them up because it's by far the easiest wins. NRS drops a balance patch and new easy win character pops up.

Shoutouts to B1 being a bit harder to stagger is all deadshot needed. Not the fact that he has the best horizontal high projectile. Then on top of that he has 4 other projectiles and specials in NRS fetish for fullscreen kickback and pushback.

I dont understand what your argument is here at all. These players obviously used deadshot to get into top 8, maybe not all the time but almost all of them used deadshot. Just because sonic is a better player it doesnt suddenly nullify deadshot being good. Bio wasnt able to beat sonic but that has happened plenty of times before. Nothing is an easy win but thats besides the point, the point is deadshot clearly was the most dominant character in the tourney because of how much he was used and how he does so well in a lot of MUs.
If deadshot does so well in a lot of MUs and everyone is using him to get to top 8, then players pick him up for easy wins. Simple as that. Never said Sonic winning meant deadshot wasn't too good. Just that out of all the deadshot mirrors, sonic straight up dominated every single one.

The deadshot mirror is literally a Rock Paper Scissors match, don't come here with that 'domination' bs lol, whoever gets the lifelead wins.

That's why I switched to CW, she's a hard counter, I haven't played her in a long time either.

Dude arguing w Buyacushun is about as productive as slapping your own face w a hot iron

When's GGA!?
im going to give BDON credit. Even though the matchup is ass, his Fate vs DS display was simply amazing. he made that mu look winnable with trait Ankh usage.
 
I actually bought a ps4 just to play this game only to sell it 2 months ago because I bought a fighting game and ended up instead with a shooter. On average I played the last 3 nrs games (mk9,injustice,mkx) 500 hrs each. I don't even watch tourneys anymore, just checking this website from time to time instead for updates.

Also couple of side notes: Capt Cold v CW seems super jacked up MU. I can't decide which is worse fate v ds or capt cold v CW
I would say that that could be generalized to Captain Cold vs. characters w/out projectiles he has to respect is kind of rough.

True. "Dominated " wasn't a good term but he seemed the most comfortable in the mirror. Exaggeration is an easy habit of mine. You played great and probably have the most success with the character. I haven't followed the competition much but it seems your the first deadshot to be of note.

When have we ever argued anything? Don't worry keep blocking people so you can continue talking out of your ass.

I love watching these tournaments, regardless. Good shit to BDon and of course Sonic Fox. A lot of people may be sick of seeing Fox win, but I am enjoying his reign. He is the guy to beat and the tournament community consistently fails to find a way, it's hilariously entertaining. It is like watching new seasons of Wile E Coyote and the Road Runner.

So the community is the problem and not the chars?...gotcha
you guys got all top tiers nerfed and still not satisfied, before it was Aquasalt cuz Dragon won a major with it, now back to Deadsalt again.

Once he gets nerfed you scrubs will find other chars to bitch about.

deadshot barely got nerfed at all to be fair. it doesnt matter what the community thinks, having deadshot be this good is obviously a problem for viewership. Dont get me wrong he can be good, just needs counters and not barely quasi-bad MUs.

This just isn't a very creatively designed game and it's kinda boring to watch. I'm not bashing the players or community by any means. Play to win, as always. This game is just a giant snooze-fest. Pew pew pew pew...Zzzzzz. I think watching that Deadshot mirror killed a lot of my brain cells.

this, exactly... the question is, do you nerf a character for viewership? deadshot is obviously not a crowd favorite

This isn't a creatively designed game? Have you seen characters like Fate/Cold/Darkseid/Cheetah/Brainiac? They're super creative considering the types of designs we've seen before. Bdon is the only one we've really seen push Fate in a way we haven't seen before, and characters like Brainiac and Cheetah are super unorthodox for NRS games. It's a big step up from the last game where most variations were pretty similar in playstyle tbh. Deadshot is just one character, not the whole game.

Unfortunately this is why NRS games die so quickly. People can't really play the characters that they want to because there just seems to always be characters that straight up dominate and if you want to win then you just gotta pick up the top tiers. They gotta work on their balancing which basically dictates whether these games can have a longer life cycle. Occasionally the obscure characters do pop up and make some noise but generally it's the usual suspects.

Every tournament feels dominated by its then-current best character(s).

or maybe nrs sucks at competitive design the first go around evidenced by literally every single game they've made so far. the community wants a good game before 2 year expiration date is up and you just want to scrub it up with prepatch aquaman forever.

hmm care about snaka feeling just so gdlk man using prepatch aquascrub with his sick scuba gear or have a real fg nobody laughs at for once hmm tough choice my man. your character was part of the problem let it go already
