I wonder if that means Golden Age heroes since

Spoiler

Jay Garrick

is in as a premier skin.

 

[roflwaffles]

Does Deadshot need a nerf? Seems everyone hates him.

Game is still only a week old, too early to call. He's really strong right now but that may change as people learn the match up.


Early game nerfs really rub me the wrong way, I miss my 1.3 million health Sentinel.

Nothing really to learn, his zoning abilities warrant an immidiete nerf. Lower chip damage and more cool down frames. I'd leave the rest of his kit alone.

That was a great nerf btw.

That's what I was thinking. Alan Scott would be a great addition.

Done. I play a lot so I'm useful

Yes please! Would love that on anyone

 

[JAXXX]

would these be considered retro costumes?

if so, i would buy them...
the old style with shorts... i dont know LOL

 

[FusedAtoms]

I'm not the biggest DC fan I'm more of a marvel guy but my God is this game grabbing me so hard. This game has contantly been on my mind since I first played it, the fiend is real. I like it so much more than MKX and that's a great game .

Are you me?

That one was planned before the game came out, even though people thought it was knee-jerk after release.

The 70's Linda Carter Wonder Woman tiara is already in the game, so I don't think we'll see a Premier Skin for her. Likely more pieces of gear to recreate that iconic costume.

 

[blackflag]

Have my vita at work. connected to my ps4 at home. AI all day.

 

[LordOfLore]

A list of good AI builds.

Currently found abilities.

 

[pock3tmonster]

I haven't used my Vita in a long time, but since finding out about the AI Loadouts and their use in Multiverse, I have it on whenever I'm not using the PS4. It makes levelling/grinding a breeze.

 

[Slaythe]

I'm sorry but I'm not excited at all by this.

I want the retro costumes to be gear pieces so that I can make my own costume. :/

I don't want to be stuck with the same looking character forever. ( retro gotta be better than the over designed armors , at least for my characters )

I don't really want anything to be gear pieces because the grind to get anything specific is insane.

Bring on costume DLC packs.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

How do I join the gaf guild? Xbox One version

is this stuff in the OP? lol

 

[Seijuro]

Sorry for this awkward question, but I mainly spent my time so far in training, arcade ladder and ranked matches: The Multiverse missions that suggest a character has to be level 10, 15 or 20 - does that mean the difficulty/player skill is supposed to be at an intermediate/good level or do they suggest using gear pieces at these levels?

 

[Lukemon]

Nice, thanks for sharing. Instantly swapped out Swamp Thing's trait for the teleport when I unlocked it, but the larger/MB-able version of Garden seems like it could be worth it. So hard to set up otherwise.

If it is 1-20 then the enemies will scale to whatever level you are. If it requires a certain level then the enemy will be that level. There is a separate meter for AI difficulty.

I don't think you have to worry Slaythe. I still firmly believe that the Premier Skins are going to be reserved for new characters. Alan Scott is a new character and thus would be a Premier Skin, complete with a new voice actor and dialogue. Whereas "Parallax" is still Hal Jordan and could be realised through content updates to the gear system. I'm happy to be proven wrong though. I guess we're just going to have to wait it out.

To ease your worries, let me inform you that Cheetah already has a "retro" Priscilla inspired head piece:

 

[CocaMantis]

Given that ALL 9 DLC characters will drop in 2017 (Boon said that) and we have 6 months till new year...when are you guys expecting we'll get the first pack? I think that they'll release the first pack all togheter at E3 and they'll show at least one character from the second pack

Spoiler

Constantine pls

and some new premium skins.

 

[Hasney]

Yeah, I'm not buying dull full costumes. I need my Soviet Bizzaro Superman with some tweaks, not some dull retro costume.

 

[J-Tier]

I want Batman '66 and Batman Beyond.

I also want the whole roster of DC Bombshells.

Edit: The reason premier skins are the way they are is to preserve accuracy. If you can mix and match with gear, different parts may not mesh properly and will have clipping, etc. All of the current gear were designed to fit with each other. Other costumes weren't designed specifically to be segmented into different pieces.

Spoiler

I kinda want Nomura Batman too.

 

[Strider]

A list of good AI builds.

Can someone fill me in on what this is for and all about? Just got the game today. Helps with leveling in some way...?

Thanks! Will give it a try tomorrow then!

Oh god yes. I bought the Beyond shader first chance I could.

 

[jrush64]

Is there a way to unlock stuff for a particular character? I keep getting shit for Scarecrow and other characters i don't use.

If they're following MK rollout, we'll get one character every couple of weeks. Seeing as how Boon posted that Red Hood screen, we'll probably receive him first.

 

[pock3tmonster]

The Batman Beyond cowl and chest armour/emblem are in the game already. With the Beyond shader, it looks spot on.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Nope. Such is the draw of Lootboxes.

Although I have gotten a lot of Green Arrow stuff through multiverse as I play him a lot.

 

[blackflag]

Yeah, I'm not buying dull full costumes. I need my Soviet Bizzaro Superman with some tweaks, not some dull retro costume.

I have the Red Son Chest shield so I think you can build it or similar.

 

[Chamber]

Thanks, I like trying out different AI builds. I currently have a 30 combos/30 counters Supergirl that's destroying all the multiverse bosses no problem.

 

[Hellshingu]

Sucks that none of these abilities will ever see competitive play. There are some pretty cool ones and would help with character variety a little.

I hope NRS heed the feedback and we see a tournament mode that allows for the use of custom abilities while still disabling stats.

 

[Q8D3vil]

You can equit ai characters with gear and distribute point depending on the fighting style you want them to play, then you can use that ai loadout in clearing multiverse or challenging other people ai.
Its an easy way to level up your characters and gain lootboxes, just need to press X after every match.

 

[Hasney]

I have the Red Son Chest shield so I think you can build it or similar.

Yeah, that's what I mean. I have that build now, but I wouldn't mind retro legs or cape to cap off the build.

 

[J-Tier]

It's close. Means chances it'll be a premier skin is nil though.

 

[pock3tmonster]

Likey. It'd be redundant to have a Premier Skin and custom gear pieces for the same costume.

 

[Probity]

How do I stop the Atrocitus combo? I'm having a lot of trouble with my current playstyle against his basic moveset. As soon as I get caught I'm stuck and can't get out.

Also I'm all for some skins, but what I really want is a new Joker. He has very little personality in this game, but I don't think it is down to VA as much as it is to script. There are so many easy skins they could implement though. Why do I have to play as d-bag damian when I could have literally anyone else? If they hadn't

Spoiler

killed Dick in the most unceremonious possible way

then it would be fine.

 

[7DollarHagane]

I legit can't believe how much I like the footies in this game.

This game has footsies?

Whiffing anything seems like a recipe for disaster.

Or are footsies in nrs games where you do strings and the other player blocks them and looks for an opening?

 

[Drewfonse]

Definitely. I'm fucking awful at fighting games and I'm having a blast with this. Story is dope, there are tons of gear to unlock and the Multiverse offers varied, endless SP content. Technical aspects of the game and production values are superb as well

If you have a minimum interest in DC comics, you should be in for a treat

You give me hope. My copy is on the way, and it's been a looong time since I've been functional at a Fighter. Fingers crossed.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Cheetah beginning to edge out Scarecrow as my current go to character.

Bugs me when say Scarecrow has a teleport and I finally come up against one of those infamous deadshot players yet the move is still pretty damn useless with the slow speed of both disappearing and reappearing leading to getting clipped by bullets when I'm basically in the ground and then not always being able to capitalise upon completing the move.

To ease your worries, let me inform you that Cheetah already has a "retro" Priscilla inspired head piece:

Some characters have an insane amount of gear variety.

Cheetah, Batman, Catwoman, Flash, Green Lantern etc...

Then look at Aquaman, Superman, and Black Canary. . . It doesn't make a lot of sense. It's like they lacked inspiration and called it a day by only making a few variations of the same 3 stuff. =(

 

[Xeteh]

Cheetah has gear variety? Everything I've seen is different leather straps and animal teeth.

 

[Crankshaft]

So I'm noticing the guild I am in is losing people (10 members since last night)

Is there anything preventing you from joining a guild, getting a ton of loot boxes and then jumping ship to another guild over and over?

 

[BakedTanooki]

Finally started with the game and trying to get a feel for it. Never really played the modern mortal kombat games or Injustice.
I play Street Fighter on an above average level (A+ Ranking in Street Fighter 5), but this feels so different, damn Especially the timing for all the movements and combos.

Edit:

Also guilds. I would like to join one of them Gaf guilds.
What to do if I want to join?
