Batman patch notes

[omooba]

don't know why there's no thread on this yet but how is TYM feeling about the batman changes?
Are they good? bad? too much? too little? too late?too early? is he dead? is he perfect? is he still too good?
what do you guys think?


in case you missed them:

• Batman - Greatly reduced meter build when executing Batarang Toss & Up Batarang Toss
• Batman - Release Bat, Bat Spin, and Bat Spawn Gear Ability no longer build meter on use
• Batman - Fixed lingering visual effect on 122 if practice mode reset is performed at a specific time
• Batman - Straight Kick (Jump + Medium) has it’s hit region slightly adjusted and has 5 less hit advantage
• Batman - The hit advantage on Straight Grapple on an airborne opponent now more closely matches the hit advantage of hitting a grounded opponent
• Batman - The cooldown on Mechanical Bats has been increased to 12 secs (up from 9 secs)

I just don't understand the j2 nerf. Have to see it in action

feel like we were all ready for it considering the fact that he's probably the most crucified character on here. like bruh we made a thread to unite against the crucifiction and he just got crucified more

And up goes another half of the scrubs to playing SG and getting away with random shit just because it’s SG.

I love these nerfs

Reduced hit advantage of j2 means he no longer has the ambiguous j2 50/50 after mb grapple?

I sold my copy of the game. That is what I think of the recent patches.

Someone was an online warrior Batman.

Let's be real, he's probably still going to be top 10 even after all of this.Though a 'slight adjustment' of J2's hitbox has me suspicious...

I believe it's no longer ambiguous. It will only cross up. Check this out around 1:15.

Probably because no Batman player wants to start a thread that turns into everyone hating and shit posting about Batman and the people that play him

He has lost all of the inital charm of oppressive plus frame pressure for me.Dropping him when the patch hits ps4, unless they decide to buff him later on.

What is wrong with that again? I never was good anyway, so batman was compensating for my lack of skill.

 

[Skedar70]

He is probably fair now. Nobody will be carried by him anymore.

It's common on TYM to overreact to character nerfs so when you said you sold your game over it I assumed you were a typical 500/100 Batman who relied on cross-up J2s all game. Seems I was somewhat-right if you say he was compensating.

 

[Dankster Morgan]

I don’t see how Batman is bad now. He isn’t top tier but the top tier characters aren’t really that much better than him, he’s still top 10 for sure

If you think that a safe vortex is fair, you got some serious problems.

 

[Cerbero]

Batman is one of my mains and I say he's fine now, he was a bit brain dead before, now he is just solid.

 

[Cerbero]

No you didn't and even if you did no one cares.

i thought by now everyone would've learned not to make blanket statements like this

 

[JontyHar23]

He's undoubtedly still a very strong character. He just had some of his more ridiculous shenanigans and qualities toned down, such as J2. He won't dominate his winning match-ups to quite the same extent as before, because he can no longer build crazy meter while zoning out Cheetah or Bane, for example. Some of his bad match-ups, such as Red Hood and Deadshot also received nerfs. This means that those match-ups likely won't become any worse. Green Arrow will probably be a more annoying match-up than before. All in all, Batman will be fine. He'll rely on more honest gameplay and better trait/meter management than before. No more yolo-who-knows-which-side-J2, from what I've noticed. Still, we'll have to wait and see just how much of an effect the meter-building nerf will have.
