I like that Dictator Superman has a unique intro and outro. Very cool.

It all looks great! But Aquaman got robbed.

Does anyone think its out of character though for Superman to turn into Zod? Even Red Son doesn't do that.

WW versus Bats.....really now¿ That really was a popularity contest for the people.
Here's to hoping that Flash becomes the Ultimate Champion.
Won't that be a spanner in the works¿

WW gets hit by the Batmobile at the end of the round -> falls down about 3 times -> gets back up -> then falls back down again -> Round over.

C'mon NR....really? TAKE OUT THAT PREFATALITY ANIMATION!!

These are all alt costumes. Looking pretty good. Also the matches look better than they did initially. I'm glad NRS listen's to the fans :D

@5 it can't be out of character if this is a different universe. Why is it so hard for people to be more open minded when it comes to alternate universes?

Kind of angry that Arthur lost to Half, but seen it coming. Really enjoyed the Flash fight.

Green Arrow with both the voice and the costume from the Arrow series was just fantastic!
I've never thought they would go so far as that!

@2 Yea, big surprise there buddy. Popularity contest battle continues on to the end. Spoiler Alert- Batman and Superman in the Final match. In all honesty though, the matchups this week were somewhat straightforward (for the first time), with an obvious popularity edge being given to Batman over Wonderwoman.... who realistically could make a stump out of Batman.

Also some of these alts have different intros and outros than the primary costume. And that's the CW Arrow Skin with the new voice as well.

#15
NyuBomber's avatar
NyuBomber said on March 15, 2013 at 10:26 a.m.

@10: It's an alternate. Besides looking different, we've seen full Superman gameplay before where his intro is Clark Kent-suit-rip-to-Superman, and his outro is going on patrol in Earth's orbit; in other words, the good ol' Big Blue Boyscout we're expecting.

This one is obviously Superman after going full mad and taking over the world, hence the goon squad at the beginning and his Zod-esque outro.

I believe every other outfit used in these fights are also alternates, though I'm not sure on Green Lantern and Joker.

Green Arrow's alt on display here is actually using the actor from the "Arrow" TV show for his voice, which is neat-o and I hope they expand that to more alts.

This game is looking hilarious with the kinds of things you can do in a stage, also some of the stage transitions.

Also it's nice to see new alts from WW and GA.

Themiskyra looks gorgeous! Also really liking the alts especially Joker's (suprisingly). Really cool how they brought in the Arrow guy to do voice overs for that specific costume, but with A. the original voice actors battle noises still in, it sounds wierd, and B. the VA doesnt seem to be getting into the roll. Very monotone, very bland.

3 new stages revealed - some alternate costumes?!?!?! Really looking forward to this game. That superman fight was over way to quick compared to the other fights. Although I can see that maybe they thought we'd seen enough of GA.

Aquaman really impresses me.

Pleasantly Surprised that Flash won the votes. I though Joker was going to win.

Wow from the gameplay so far it looks like this is how things are going to turn out.

S Catwoman, shazam, nightwing, hawkgirl, sinestro
A deathstroke, green arrow, aqauman, Flash, raven, bane,
B batman, doomsday, superman, Joker, cyborg, solem grundy
C Lex Luthor, Harley quin, green lantern, wonder woman

Waiting to see how the other characters are

How could you possibly be judging Hawkgirl and Sinestro? We've seen like two minutes of footage of both of them combined. Same with Deathstroke for that matter.

#23

Tallgeese07 said on March 15, 2013 at 11:13 a.m.

Ya but I think hawkgirl's flight mechanic is unparalleled in the cast so far. I also believe sinestro's gadgets are the most useful out of the ones we've seen. Deathstroke looks really good because he has keep with guns and rushdown with his sword.

Voting for Supes/Arrow must have been waaaaay lopsided. That wasn;t even a fight. Either Superman is strong as hell or Arrow has little health.
And can anyone tell me what's that other dimension in the Fortress of Solitude? Seems like I remember Superman trapping someone in that mirror/dimension place, but can't recall.

Razberry, Isn't it reffered to 'the Phantom Zone'? It was depicted several times in Smallville.

I think it's way too early to judge/rank based on what we've seen. Although from what I've seen the faster characters have potential even the gadget ranged characters too.

That said my favs are
Sinestro/Green Lantern
Green Arrow
The Flash
Nightwing/Catwoman

I don't like the alternate costumes at all except WW and Superman. I'm liking the new stages. I also thought that changing intros/outros are really cool.

Aquaman looks like such a crappy character. I'm sure you can just throw him out of that water shield nonsense.

Can't wait to play the story mode though!

Only Super and WW, the others have a very simple alternate costumes, Aquaman with the little beard, Flash and Green Lantern with protruding armors.
I vote in Aquaman, but knew in Green Lantern victory

@25, 28: That is indeed the Phantom Zone, a dimension of seemingly infinite space where Kryptonians put monsters and criminals as a prison, encasing them in those "mirrors."

However, I'm not sure on the monster that gets unleashed during that transition. I'm currently assuming it's a generic monster of some sort, maybe Apokolyptian.

Nice to see some new costumes but who was really surprised with the outcomes? I mean Supes, Bats, WW are the "big 3" of the JLA and GL is no doubt the most popular member behind those 3.

I knew Green Arrow would never be as popular as blue-suited Marty Stu, but I voted for Oliver just in case something miraculous happened. Unsurprisingly, it didn't.

BTW there's a good marketing strategy the people at NR are implementing here. Be one of the first 5000 to cast your vote and they will -supposedly- send you an e-mail with a code to claim, either an avatar and theme of the character, or an alternate costume when the game comes out. That's a brilliant way to make people get involved with this.

I hope we don't have to watch all these long transitions between parts of stages over and over and over and over every match. I really don't like all the stage interactivity and camera angle changes (not sure if that's just for the videos or not).

@22 idk whether I should just laugh at your "tier list" or not. Personally, I dislike people who make up tier lists month(s) before it comes out. I know its your speculation, but still, these are pros playing these characters. Plus your speculation is kinda off. But whatever, its your opinion anyway....

@48

Camera changes are just for the Battle Arena/gameplay trailers.

The Themyscira felt long but with the whole "over and over every match" we see the round 1/2 and breaks between them every match, just picture the transitions as those.

this game looks refreshingly unique. it may not have the smooth depth of a capcom fighter, but having so many alts, intros/outros for them, different VAs, and the level damage actually looking badass and building the stage attacks into combos is pretty sick.

i agree with whoever pointed out the long stage transitions being ok--there is almost no down time between matches, so a long transition is fine.

i'm just wondering--if anyone has demoed this game, what initiates a stage transition? any attack near a wall? a hard attack near a wall? ???

Also, Aquaman vs. Lantern was sick. Aquaman's water barrier is an awesome move.

O M G ! Flash will be such a combo maker with those slow time meters, that fight was just amazing O_O!

I was expecting more from Aquaman seriously, i think his moveset is kinda meh, for exemple, an ability like Rikuo/Aulbath "Sonic Wave" would perfectly fit on him, since his a Water Type char.

This Batman Alt its 100%MUCH BETTER than the default one, same goes for Flash and Joker.

Stages are perfectly well done 10/10

I'm a little worried about Bane, cuz he seems to be a slower Doomsday version, when Doomsday is awaaaaaaaay much better than him. I'm not really sure... i need more Bane videos for see what is real capable of.
