REO

Undead
Brief breakdown on Lex:

- Lance Projectile is advantage point-blank on block. Gives enough advantage full-screen to safely set-up a Probe on block.

- Probe has many ways to set up into. Probe conditions players to either block or panic to avoid the shot. If they are conditioned to block, Lex can come in with his overhead (f+heavy) or low (b+light, hard) 50/50 that leads into death combos. If they panic and try to get hasty, Gravity Pull (d,b+medium) should catch them.

- Jumping hard is one of the best jumping attacks. It can be hit-confirmed into his tackle (b,f+medium) at any range including max range.

- Charge (b,f+medium) sets up a hard knock-down in which the opponent cannot roll after. Pretty solid whiff punisher, too. This is easy probe or mine set-up on hit. Can also be used in the air to maneuver.

- Mine (d,d+hard) is solid tool that acts as an obstacle. It can cause people to jump over to try and get in, force them to wait it out, or keep them from going near your "X marks the spot". It is very versatile and can make the opponent feel uncomfortable when used right.

- Orbital Strike has great synergy when used with Probe for a guaranteed unblockable hit that jails on block when executed properly. Meter burn version has the ability to set up resets that launch the opponent to further extend on traps.

- Trait is spectacular for his foundation. You can end all combos into trait for armor abuse. Having armor and doing things like jump-ins or Charge to make it harder to punish are just a few of many ways to make use of his armor.

This is just scratching the surface on the character. There is much more.

where would you place lex without his infinite
Under Batman.

REO what would you say is the gap between the 3 chars if 1 was complete useless and 10 was S+ tier?
Lex - 10
Batman - 9
Wonder Woman - 7

Chris G, a guy who was brought in by NRS to test the game for a few weeks says that Batman is absurd, at least in the demo build. In comparison he said Lex was OK but free to rush down. I would take this "tier list" with a grain of salt.

And he's including Lex's infinite? That isn't even on the 360 build and has been confirmed to be out of the final build.

80% of the people who've tested the game haven't talked about it yet. So be careful about making assumptions on these forums :)

Lex is currently broken in the demo so I don't see why he'd be on top of Batman. IMO Batman is number 1 in this demo, love the frame traps and his mobility.

I take everything as far as these early tier lists with a grain of salt. Remember MK9 in 2011? Yeah I do too, the so called "best" was Shang Tsung!!
