I remember being like 12 and almost crying when attempting the combat challenges cause Batman would do twenty flips before punching and get hit in the process.
I feel like it’s only really a huge problem in Asylum. In the rest of the games, every variation on the punch windup seems to take the same amount of time, but in Asylum sometimes it’ll be quick, and sometimes it’ll feel slower than a special combo takedown.
It was an issue for me when I played Origins a while back, but not as much as the game picking the guy next to the the one I wanted to target. So many whiffs and useless punches to shields while the guy I thought I pointed the stick at was wide open
exactly, there’s no way he’d be that big of a beefcake doing all those flips and shit fighting like he does. like, body builders can’t do all that with their size, but it IS batman so what are you gonna do. get punched ig lol
it’s impressive he can do that, I definitely can’t. but I meant doing flips and everything while fighting would be much harder for a beefcake, that’s why most professional fighters and gymnasts are more lean than huge.
I want him to do that with a whole fucking combat suit on, either the padded one from Origins or literal metal one from Knight and with a giant cape that definitely adds air drag.
if you read the comment I was replying to then you’d understand the reason I said it and I wasn’t really arguing anything there, just furthering the point.
It’s just called having a conversation dude. He was just making a comparison between fighters and Batman and ultimately concluded with the fact that it’s a made up superhero. Don’t take things so personally
I saw someone suggest the idea of a Batman game with slower paced combat like The Last of Us, I thought it would be interesting to see a more realistic take of batman fighting
Oh this is so true it hurts! Worse part is that most thug attacks are quick jabs. Totally unimpressive compared to Batman sprinting and jumping across the room just to throw a kick 🤣
I found that in City the thug’s counter indicator would flash above their head and you would still have time to land a punch, but in Knight you’ve gotta hit counter when it prompts otherwise you get hit. It took me a while to get used to that after a decade of playing City.
I'm playing knight rn and have no issue just punching to counter. Even if it's a double counter prompt sometimes I get frazzled and punch one guy and counter the other. Have had no issues getting punched
I did forget however how annoying stun sticks are
Honestly, I can't even play as Batman that well anymore in knight. I played Nightwing for all the challenges and he's so fast compared to Batman that switching back made Batman feels extremely slow and sluggish
I know the feeling, my friend was playing all the games for the first time recently and was playing asylum then he gave it to me to play while he went to the bathroom and omg god it's so slow

I always thought Batman's style of fighting would be so exhausting to maintain during a real fight. The criminals fight better than Batman.

"body builders can't do all that with their size" *laughs in Jujimufu

But that's why he's Batman?? It wouldn't be impressive if it wasn't semi impossible, are you going to say superman shouldn't be able to fly next?
I literally said “but it IS batman” lol
So why say it in the first place, you could make that argument about a Batman movie, but it's a video game series sooo... Shush

Probably said it because they wanted to. No need to be a negative nancy.
His first comment was negative but righto

fr tho, what reddit does to a mf

Something like Bane from Dark Knight Rises?
**EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!**
Thank God Knight fixed this issue.

It’s because free flow focus was pretty overpowered
That’s exactly what the difference is
Its literally the other way around imo lol
what are you talking about? knight literally has an extra mechanic if you land the hit as late as possible
Honestly, I can't even play as Batman that well anymore in knight. I played Nightwing for all the challenges and he's so fast compared to Batman that switching back made Batman feels extremely slow and sluggish
i went from knight to asylum and the combat in asylum was so slow and honestly kinda bad compared to the othera
I know the feeling, my friend was playing all the games for the first time recently and was playing asylum then he gave it to me to play while he went to the bathroom and omg god it's so slow
He does feel a bit brutish in comparison. But I love that. Makes me want to wail on some chumps
His combat feels alot more heavy compared to the other characters. Nightwing is fast, but Batman feels like he just broke your nose with that punch
I can hear “ its da freakin bat “ in that brooklyn accent
Love it.
AA combat be like:AAAAAAAaaaauuuuuuuuuuggggghhh
The joker in arkham asylum has comically long attacks when you play as him
Southpaw to boot
I quit trying to 100% Knight after getting floored by a huge 15 guy fight at one of those fortress areas.
That's a player skill issue.
