    In spite of myself, in spite of no love for superheroes or simplified brawling mechanics, I'm actually looking forward to this, simply because it is (hopefully at least serviceable and casually fun) fighting with a progression hook. Even the splendid Kinetic Damage, with its basic character progression, doesn't have me coming back for the pleasure of the new and undiscovered, or for the gradual empowering of my fighter(s). I come back for the joy of the fight.

    Now, if I could have a fighting game where I'd come back for BOTH... ;)

    I played injustice for about 10min before realizing it was dumb, shallow and pointless. Throw in vs mode where you dont even fight a real opponent? Ridiculous. That game is not good and i have no idea why people like it.

    Saw the video of this game and it looks better but not much. Unless its a fighting game like Street fighter volt, why bother making it?

    The fighting is really responsive and pretty fun. Funny question tho, im playing vs mode, are my opponents real people or AI control? Seems obvious real people but after injustice i feel I have to ask. whomped on 4 people but got handled by a lvl3 colossus.

    AI using (I'm pretty sure) the most powerful hero available.

    As you get higher win streak you face tougher opponents, which is a really interesting way to do the matchmaking. I trashed four bots in a row, then had a tough fight I barely won, then, like you, got stomped by a Colossus (he seems to be very tough at any level).

    Has anyone tried to get a 1-star hero to or past level 10? If so, do they become a 2-star hero? Also, is there any kind of combining / absorbing of duplicate heroes of the same rank? I have a 1-Star and 2-Star Black Panther... I guess that's the overall question. If I rank up the 1-Star, can I combine him with the 2-Star to do something cool?

    I'm not the developer, yo. I'm glad it isn't though. Rage quitting ruins fighting games, and there's no easier way to do it than with a phone. When you've got an energy system giving you five fights before the need to recharge, not being able to finish a fight due to the other player bailing would be awful.

    Ehhhh. I personally would prefer this as it suits my casual side of gaming :)

    But that would be a neat idea, though I doubt it'll make as much money

    OK, here's your warning. There are these crystals. I found one that was green, gave 200 toward upgrading and had a star on it. It said the crystal is used to rank up heroes. Great! So I applied to to my Spider-Man and nothing happened. Turns out you have to level them to 10 and THEN you can rank them up. The game doesn't warn you about this or tell you what's going to happen before. I only found out via a help file on the developer's site.

    So if you see a crystal with a star on it, save it.

    Also, I went to claim my daily hero crystal today (chance at a 3-star hero!) and the game crashed when I tried to open it. Came back and I had nothing new in my inventory, and the crystal was gone. I really hope it doesn't become that kind of game.

    So I currently have four 2 star champs and six 1 star. I've ranked up 1 star champs and no they do not become a 2 star champ. Ranking up your champ just provides additional boosts to their stats (and potentially unlocks another special level).

    The max rank for 1star is 2 and max for 2 star is rank 3. At rank two, a 1star unlocks its level two special. 2 star champ have level two specials to begin with and unlock level 3 specials at rank 3. No you cannot combine duplicates (as far as I can tell). I don't have any 3star or 4star champs yet.

    Hello guy.
    Sorry for my bad english.

    I'm italian but i create an danish account and download the game. This is my first time.
    I love it (i hate crystal but this is another story...)

    I need help.
    I download the game and switch in italian account.
    I play without any issue :)D)... but...

    1) If the game si updated, go to the danish account for update? After download update my progress in the game are saved even if I change continuously account?

    2) On december, when the game is released, not to lose the progress I will continue to play in the Danish version?

    thanks in advance!

    1) you don't need to switch account to update.
    2) when its released keep playing danish version it will be the same, they might update it thats all.

    If I download it now, does anyone know if there's a way to transfer my data when they release it in the usa later, or would I have to stay with the version downloaded from the danish account?

    There's that old x-men one that was at the arcades way back in the day. I'm sure there's an emulator for it. It had Dazzler, Shadowcat(kitty Pryde), and some other fools.
