Oh yes there will be!
I'm pretty excited about it.
I found that out the hard way against Ares last night. I guess from here on out I'll have to use J2 selectively against the rest of the cast.
Right now, I'm using 12 MB batarangs, F3 to try and see if I can open them up. I'm still working on what to do after F3, in the event that they block it.
Thanks for the info Ryu. We're all constantly updating our strategies with all of these patches. I may have to incorporate more 12 MB batarangs into my strategy. If given the opportunity could you follow up a blocked F3 with B112, B112, Trait bats release, or perhaps a slide if you could get the inputs out fast enough.
The B112 or B113 follow-up was the first thing that I tried. The problem is that the F3 pushes them too far back on-block for the B1 to even connect right away. You have to burn some of the frame advantage of the F3 with just walking closer to get into range for the B1. That makes the timing extra tricky.
Understood. I'm away from the game until this evening. I'll have to experiment later today.
Yeah, and I didn't mess with it too much last night, so I could probably stand to do some more digging myself. The string that I mentioned above will benefit greatly if you do it while having bats out. Especially if you need to follow up after they've blocked your F3.
You're right. Bats only viable wakeup option is the slide. It's best to use it in moderation.
this happens midscreen as well
A good rule of thumb is to cycle the bats, i.e. have one bat up at all time and use it while another is recharging. This is a great way to keep pressure and get in constantly. Using the bats mid combo give you some extra damage, but the ability to use them to get in and cover his zoning with cycling one bat is a better option.I used to exclusively use bats midcombo...but I've kinda stuck to using bats to get in. On block, it gives you perfect cross-up because they either block bats and get crossed...or get hit with bats and get crossed anyways. I feel the bats are more effective as a counter-zoning/zoning tech used to do as I said or get free MB Batarang if you need more seperation (IE - if Green Lantern gets too close). I may also use bats if I'm throwing Batarangs and they jump and I don't want to burn meter, you release bats and stops them dead in their tracks. I love Batman and his bats
Not really. You're better off dashing or blocking.
