Got the Nightwing DLC. I like it alot. As Grammaton stated, he feels very distinct -- not as fast as Catwoman, but definitely faster than Batman, and I think he's actually pretty close to Catwoman speedwise once you get the freeflows going. My only complaint, albeit a minor one? I wish he had the pre-fight speech that Batman and Catwoman do. Especially Batman, who's legendary lines before the Challenge Maps always get me fired up, and literally feel %100 perfect to the spirit of the character.
Something not alot of people have touched on regarding the combat -- the motion capture of all the moves. These are NOT clunky animations here, they're buttery smooth motion-captures of real martial artists performing REAL MOVES, and it shows.
As someone who's been involved in Combat Sports for a good chunk of my life, it's hard not to cheer when I see a character do a REAL move that would work in THAT particular situation the character is in. Just another testament to the painstaking care put into every aspect of this game. Most of the fighting is legit martial arts, in other words.
IF anyone has any Nightwing tips they'd like to share, post 'em. As most of you know, he's got some of Batman's gear (Grapple and Batarang, most notably) but also has Wrist Darts which can be quick fired pressing RT twice, just like Batman's freeze blasts. As far as I can tell, he can't do Batman's DISARM grapple manuever (X +Y, but neither can Catwoman, insofar as I can tell), but he can use the Grapple against gun-toting enemies effectively (LT + Y).
He's got a pretty badass stun move that can be used when your Combo multiplyer is x5 or above, just hit (A + B), and it'll shock every single enemy on the screen, opening alot of opportunities forcombo free-flow, and is great for Crowd Control.
Also has a move that stuns large groups of enemies but requires no combo in LT + X.
All in all an awesome addition to an already feature-packed masterpiece. If you guys have anymore Nightwing tips, please share.
Oh and Grammaton, I agree with Dvader regarding the other Batman topic. Funny how no one could argue your points, so they just started slinging personal insults towards you. :roll: Glad you stood your ground, "mate".. :P
