Most characters in this game need a secondary to cover their bad matchups, harley is definitely no exception.
That is true but then again Biohazard seems to be doing pretty well with her and bane,and both them arent considered high tier characters. Also saltface used to be pretty good with harley back in Injustice 1 and almost won some tournaments just with her.
Biohazard plays a few characters, saltface dropped harley in inj 2 in favor of a stronger character. But it's up to u man, see how it goes playing harley only. She's the most fun character in the game, so i see why you wanna play her exclusively.
I think she was better back in inj1. Id rather have her past pluses,silly slide,and the trait had a gimmicky reset bomb which was very useful. The hyenas are great,but i liked her more in inj1 regardless.
The only character sans bad match-ups is SG.But that’s why I(and most people) hate Supergirl.
As an overall character she was probably stronger in IGAU, but her MU chart was way worse and a lot of the cast stomped her pretty hard. As for maining her only, unless you want to get counter picked by Aquaman, Firestorm, and Supergirl a lot, I'd probably pick up Catwoman/Ivy/Supergirl/RH/WoWo, etc. to cover bad MUs.
Would you say that Aquaman is still 7-3 in his favor? In injustice 1 he was,only Sinestro was 8-2 against harley IMO
She still loses 7-3 to aqman. And stuggles hard vs quite a few others, but in general this is good advice. As long as ur not the type to get hella salty over loses due to restrictions of your character (like me)
I wouldnt really know how to rate myself yet since i have been waiting for the arrival of the PC version,im still fresh in injustice 2 and most of my harley knowledge is from IGAU 1. I always liked her playstyle and simple cant bring myself to learn other chars when i can improve harley. Though you have a point. She isnt a tournament winning character. Still,it may happen. There were harley players back in IGAU 1 that almost won some tournaments.
Didn't realize Aqua was such a hard counter. Yeah 7/3s are different imo. It also comes down to enjoyment factor. For instance I play Swamp Thing and he's one of my favorite character in the game now that I've sat down and put his absolute basics together.. but playing him in to some matchups, even even ones sometimes, isn't any FUN. Its miserable and tedious and frustrating. So he's an tertiary character for me.. I just have no interest in playing him in to MUs I find miserable.
Same, for me, like flash and cyborg are both 5-5 for harley, but they annoy the shit out of me to the point where it's no fun. I happily counterpick with supergirl for them.
I'd like to toss my 2 cents in on this.
I like this, hence the like
I think its something people don't really think about. A lot of people who never play anything but casuals or online get far too concerned with playing the absolute strongest character in the game even if they aren't having fun or don't like the character. It's dumb.
Some people do that, problem is they play their fave character realize they suck in some matchups and play top tier exclusively instead. When rather the best option is to play your fave and then play a secondary in their bad matchups. Most people, including me can't stand losing to BS. I love Harley, i'd play her exclusively if I could, but on the other hand I love winning and get mad salty when I lose to BS I can't punish when I already knew they were gonna do it. I'd rather avoid the bs by picking a character better suited for the matchup, so I can punish the bs they throw out.
Yeah thats understandable. I personally prefer character loyalty through all the bad stuff, but that's just a personal preference. Everyone has their own way to enjoy playing the game and that is what is important.
What is your opinion on harley now? Do you think she was better in IGAU 1?
