You can usually tell if a character isn't or wasn't really that bad if the player base doesn't upplay them. Most of the bad characters get up played while the actual good ones get downplayed, atleast that's how it is with the majority of the community unfortunately.
It's just kinda boils down to state of mind if the players

She's easy to learn, easy to use, doesn't have very many bad MU's (if any), and she's not hard to win with. All the ingredients needed for the "this character is BRAINDEAD" people to shout from the rooftops that, well, you know.

As a Supergirl player, I can't say a thing though. If anything other than "yeah, she's the most braindead broken pos character in NRS history" is said, you're a filthy downplayer.

So yeah, people hate her and hate players who use her. Too bad they don't realize their salty tears is what fuels SG players.

Juggs is prolly the only supergirl player that doesnt massively downplay her on here. Prolly feels bad for all the campaigning he did for her to get buffs when she didnt need it. Either way I still respect it
 

bishbash

Magic as easy as 1 2 standing3
She’s cheap as fuck is why, especially online where she benefits massively from latency

This reminds of the time the deathstroke player who only played on fenris aircraft stage posted asking why nobody gave him games lulz

For me I just can’t stand to watch her, she has the ugliest animations and is definitely the scrubs choice in this game

I think she is fine. I usually beat the scrubby teleport happy ones online and I usually recognize a good one when I see it. I don't feel cheated when I lose to a good one. I don't get what all the complaining about her is.

The simplest explanation is that a high percentage of Injustice 2 online user base is on Fisher-Price wi-fi and Supergirl is a popular character who's irritant factor goes up exponentially the less ideal the connection. Ta-da!
Well that is not an issue with the character that is an issue with peoples connection.

The issue happens when you play against high level supergirl that you should still be beating on a consistent basis but don't. This happens because usually the character doesn't make the player have to learn how to handle other characters. So instead of me beating the player 10/10 times I beat them maybe 6/10 times and of course this scales up with however good the player is. The supergirl player doesn't have to learn how to get past my zoning. She doesn't have to learn how to deal with my spacing and footsies, she doesn't have to learn how to deal with my pressure/mix like other characters do and so they have a distinct advantage.
I challenged a friend of mine to play me as a different character and as supergirl and I said he would never beat me if he didn't use supergirl. Of course as the supergirl player that he was, he thought I was wrong. And so the first set if games I won about 10 to 5. He then switched to characters multiple times including his main and I beat him every single time until about 35 straight.

No one is saying she isn't top here -- I'm not sure you where you guys get this talking point from, but pretty much the entire community has said that she's a Top 5 char since the patch.

But no matter how many times you say it, someone will come in and say "Bro, the SGirl community thinks she's bottom 15"

It's like everyone locked their talking points in during the Beta.

If you're losing someone who didn't learn your MU then you need to level up.

MU numbers only apply when both players know what's going on; and most of hers are 5-5 to 6-4. Unless you're playing Swamp Thing, you at least need to play well enough to make someone respect your frame data and options.

Sure, most of the supergirl community believes she's top tier but almost none believe she needs nerfs and even fewer believe she's the best character in the game. Sure they'll agree that she's top but they still will not hesitate to tell you all of her 'problems' and why she doesn't deserve to be nerfed

That's not how it works. Believe it or not some characters shut down options so the players don't have to worry about them. Take darkseids 'zoning' for example. It's mostly gimmicks. However supergirls don't have to worry about it nearly as much as the majority of the cast and they don't have to learn like normal characters in that category because of their options. Then there happens to be other options that she counters as well and so she doesn't have to worry about them and bam you've got yourself a good supergirl but a mediocre player.

Winning MUs aren't all bad tho because usually all characters have losing ones. Unfortunately, supergirl doesn't have any and so the counterpick is off the table. It's ridiculous to say that the characters don't matter and that you shouldn't let players get away with things they don't know in a game so counterpick heavy as this one. Perhaps you believe your point to be the case because your character allows you to counter all options.

All you have to do is go into practice mode and look at her frame data. Just let those numbers sink in.

Too many cooks in her versatility kitchen.
Plus, she's easily up there with Cold among others for THE most cringeworthy generic dialogue.

"MY WHOLE LIFE DEFIES THE ODDS"
"GO AHEAD, UNDERESTIMATE ME"
We get it. And if you were a wrestler you'd come out to the song "Venus" in a Girls Rule, Boys Drool t-shirt, and you'd form a tag team with Bayley, and be the most agonizingly girl power shark jumping duo in all of lucha libre.

Just...ugh. I know a comic book game is supposed to be cheesy, but I would seriously be okay if she kept everything she had if she just didn't sound like every generic female heroine underdog in the history of ever. At least when you had to refrain from punching your TV every time Batgirl said "I'm a real pain in the ass, huh?" you had to remind yourself that the poor girl was also paralyzed from the waist down and thus, to a certain degree, allowed in my eyes to be a pain in the ass. Supergirl doesn't get to punch that ticket until she drops the nice girl act.

She basically has everything you need to have to win.
Kinda like Kung Lao but after you give him a super fast traveling and recovering projectile.
Buffing her damage wasn't necessary, but making b123 safe (probably should have been -6 or something) was.

She's a dumb character. That's the most simple explanation possible.
Funny comming from an ex Doomsday player :DOGE
 
She's too versatile.
THIS! She can do everything and do it well.
It's obnoxious.

She runs circles around some characters.
And she dictates the pace of the match, you are always playing her game.
I fucking hate characters like this, you are barely even playing the game.

She is a big reason I've practically stopped playing.
Every ghetto-wifi-fuckbag plays her and thinks they are top shit.
B R A I N D E A D
She is designed for casuals to feel good.
