I played about 6 hours today with some guys who regularly whoop my ass to an embarrassing degree in just about every fighter. Using Lex, I didn't lose a single match.

It was incredibly difficult for WW and BM to get through his traps and zoning, and up close his 6-frame Corp Charge, d3, and throw were enough to punish blocked pressure.

I don't think he'll be able to handle a lot of the cast, but he seems perfectly capable of dealing with BM and WW.

Hmm. I don't think that BM player was doing the right things. I think lex can get zoned out pretty ease by BM using his batarangs and his trait. Also, once batman is in, is over.

The offcast guys just had a stream tonight with a small demo tourny, a Lex won the whole thing vs a Batman in the finals.

This demo really shows the value of training mode. You can't test shit in the demo if you don't have a human opponent next to you. Can't wait until the game comes out, Training Mode 24/7.

i also have come up with a gimicky mixup where you can end your 112 on block with the character trait since its plus nine and have to respect your other options

one things for certain now. each time you get a knockdown alllwaaays go into character trait and cancel it wit hdash forward.. also theres a sorta loop where if he hits you and cancels your armor and you combo him allways end the combo with energy shield and canceling it into a dash.. its amazing.. almost op

I actually REALLY like throwing out a drone instead. One hit of armor seems like it gets blown up too much for me.

Really please tell me theywill fix Lex's trait for release.It looked a hundred times more useful in the Battle Arena.One hit of armor in a game where things mostly hit twice....gg.

another trap is after a knock down instantly throw a mine and then a corpcharge yes gimicky but if they block it itll push em into the mine and ifthe block the mine its plus 42 on block so youre at advantage and if they dont free combo

We were all pretty new to it, so I don't think he knew to abuse the trait like that. However, a Close Mine severely limits Batman's options (it completely negates his grapple gun), and once Lex can get his ranged shenanigans going, it can be difficult for Batman to get things going.

It feels like Lex has a lot of frame gaps. I swear every string I did was getting parried in the middle by Batman and WW on hard.

Heres a sorta reset ive come up with.. its escape able by techrolling and quickly jumping forward but it looks pretty hard to escape..
b23 MB gravity b3 ji3 112 MB orbit strike.. dash in MB gravity pull b3 ji3 11 gravity pull.. it all does 61% in total

It looks like u3 has so much advantage that it might be a legit unblockable mine setup. It's so advantageous that canceling into OS will actually whiff because the OS comes out too soon. However, canceling into far mine leaves you enough time to do a Corp Charge that will connect just as they wake up, pushing them into the mine no matter what. Even on block this leaves you with 42 advantage.

Considering u3 comes out in 6 frames, this will probably be my punisher of choice against blocked rushdown attempts.

No access to PS3 tonight. If blocked mine is +42 (really?!?), would that give you enough time for a quick F3 (charged overhead pop-up)? No idea if the game allows you to stand/crouch while in block-stun or not. If you can still stand while in blockstun then it won't work, although you could try an axe cross-up.

I believe so, though they could just block that as well.

Does anyone know of any good post-mine combos? After the mine hits, I've just been doing b3-j3-d2-Corp Charge. I know I should be able to do more, though. I'd like to work in an ex Gravity Pull, but it won't seem to go off after the d2, and I can't get a 11 to hit reliably after the j3.
