Logically, I don't see how he would fit in a Brainiac story.
Yeah Im not sure how he would fit into a Brainiac story either I was just talking gameplay.
But he IS a potato? Listen I don't have much experience with Injustice at a higher level, when I played Injustice, I didn't even really fully grasp frame data. However looking back on it, Doomsday almost looks like what on release Bojutsu was like. Good tools and very easy to grasp what youre supposed to do. While doomsday only has a couple of these good tools, these good tools are REALLY good. Not broken mind you considering we need to change our perception of what being broken is considering the game we're talking about, but still very strong. You seemed to have needed solid spacing and fundamentals. You could also compare him to current Possessed kenshi. Possessed isn't a hard character to grasp but as you get to higher levels you realize some things that caught lower level people/offline just isn't going to work and you need to add some stuff along with it. I'd be fine if Doomsday came back, he seemed like a fun character and is personally my favorite Superman villain. That's my two cents.
You didn't need spacing at all with Doomsday. All you needed was meter (MB Venom), a prayer (not really) and possibly even his trait (depends who you're fighting). If you have the meter, your spacing is pretty much auto-completed by using MB Venom.
EXCELLENT POINT. What I'm trying to get at is he's a potato up to a point.You didn't need spacing at all with Doomsday. All you needed was meter (MB Venom), a prayer (not really) and possibly even his trait (depends who you're fighting). If you have the meter, your spacing is pretty much auto-completed by using MB Venom.
MB Venom is one of peoples' biggest issue with him outside of Earth Shake. It's like "auto-footsies". Kinda like how Kotal's b1 (used to be, anyway) and d4 were "auto-footsie" tools.
I feel like Possessed is only called potato, because I win with him, and then people go into practice mode and do his combos, which aren't very hard.
Leave Bane alone. FAIR AND BALANCED
Hence the phrase 'to a point' you can't tell me you playing against someone who doesn't know the matchup isn't a potato time for you. However, like I said, you get higher up and you have a strong but not really potato character. Doomsday, probably a little more on the spud side but I think the comparison still stands strong.
now THAT'S a funny joke.
Idk I feel like that's with any character. Possessed is just a bit more obscure than most variations I think. It also takes a bit of lab time to fully understand. A lot of people who complain about my Possessed in stream chats do not actually play the game, so that's all that really needs to be said about that. Low demon being a true 50/50 is like saying that Scorpion's F4 is unreactable. I'd say that low demon is easier to react to though tbh.
I don't consider his trait a special. His trait was great versus most of the cast for sure. But some characters made it useless. =(
Yeah but matchup knowledge isn't something you can judge/balance a character on. If the opponent doesn't know the matchup everything gets easier for every single character. That's on them being a potato not you.
I didn't say we should base the balance on that, I don't even think Possessed is THAT good and I also don't equate a potato character with an unbalanaced character. Hell I don't even think playing a potato of a character is a BAD thing. So what if your character plays like a potato? At the end of the day we're all just playing the game. Some characters are harder than others, that's just what happens.
I suppose by the traditional definition, trait is not technically a special move. But considering that it was unique to just Doomsday, I still think it's safe to say it was a good part of his arsenal.
Agreed.
not complaining but he kinda was I enjoy playing against a skilled Doomsday honestly
I'm aware the ambiguous shit was widespread but his body splash covered like 1/4 of the screen and any part could hit you...some Ambiguous stuff you kinda can get a hunch but with Doomsday, it's just praying you block correctly.
