Those difficult combo challenges are only a problem because of the clunky controls or that it doesn't show you the timing or if you can use the wall. Most of them are not even that good, you can do more damage with simpler juggles.

I noticed it, but didn't know wtf it meant first. This explains it and makes the combo challenge much better.
As for the combos. Possibly. I think the game scales damage like guilty gear, so that is probably why.
Darkseid is very strong. He has a great jab string, launcher and projectile. The good players are thinking he may be better than Flash....
I think he's trash, but I haven't put much time into him. That being said, I'm suprised at how many characters have so many decent moves...especially Batman. He's good against everyone, it seems. Supes and Flash seem to be at the top, atm though.

Holy shit! There are some fucking losers online. I just played one guy who spammed the flash's moves over and over and over. I couldn't tell you how many times I spun in one match. What a fucking cheezer.
I know the netcode is messed up atm, but, midway is working on it. All I can say is block some, jump over the runs, and learn to punish the dash that goes mid mid high. Flash has a bit of lag after some of his attacks, so block and destroy.

I just rented this using a BB game pass and it SUCKS. Every move looks stiff and ugly. The timing for combos is never consistent. Sometimes a move will hit an opponent back over you head, sometimes away from you, makes it too hard to land a decent juggle. The close combat and freefall gimmicks are totally random and destroy any balance the game may have had. Yeah and then there are characters like Flash with their cheap, way too safe moves. Overall it just feels wrong. I hate that you can't get to a spot where you just rush an opponent down and dominate a fight because most of the moves knock your enemy down instead of just doing standing damage. It's just a flaccid and unsatisfying game.
lol. You can rush down and dominate in the game...quite easily. You might have to actually put in some work to do it, because of the knockdown, but...you sure as hell can. I've done it with scorpion and sub-zero many times.
Flash has safe moves but can be dealt with. He and Supes are probably numero uno at the moment, but they aren't auto-victories. I've yet to see a Sean in this game.
The timing for combos is consistent. Go to the combat training and see the video I posted.
I agree on the animation. It needs hella work.
Edit: reptile and lobo won the midway poll, so I'd probably bank on seeing them as dlc first. I'd rather Jade/Nightwolf and Lobo.
