My signature iz about da flash and he looks great and i agree wit dis whole topic!!!

I luv da flash but he shud be respected! he is known for landin a bunch of hits dat don't hurt as much as one batman punch! he shud be faster as in movement and dashin towards and away from opponents. his punches shud also come off a little faster but be less damaging! it wud be cool if they cud add a little blur to his regular punches for emphasis on his speed!

I still don't think it's a good idea to increase his speed, because from my experience it's more easier for speed characters to take control of a match, especially when they're in the hands of a pro.

And I understand that the damage that Flash deals won't be very high, but at the same time you gotta remember, all that damage does add up. The increased speed would play a huge factor in that, which could potentially make him even more unfair.

Ed Boon already explained this, that the DC characters have had a decline in there power levels, so they still have there special moves but not to there normal ability.

And on top of that Flash only uses his super speed for short periods of time, think back to JL and other stuff he isn't constantly using his super speed then he couldn't talk to people ect...

His special moves obviously are all based around his speed, but outside of that fact he seems pretty much even with all the other characters. IMO, Flash should be obviously faster than every other character in the game, especially when it comes to basic movement.

I hope they scale up his speed and scale down his power before the game releases. Anyone agree?


My little bro thinks something like that too. But if they had him superspeeding all the time it wouldn't be very balanced.

He doesn't super speed the whole time, but why would he stop in the middle of a fight?

The heroes needed to be toned down, from Superman's strength to the Flash's speed

I don't actually want him running around at hyper-speed the whole time. For obvious reasons, he can't utilize his super-human speed at all times, but that doesn't mean that he still can't be faster than the other characters when behaving normally.

Once again, I return to the Vega analogy. If you don't like Vega, think of Lin Xiaou from Tekken or Pai from Virtua Fighter. All of these characters are fast, but none of them are broken. Flash could easily be balanced similarly.

I do want to take this opportunity to say that I think the Flash is one of the coolest looking characters in the game. Regardless of whether or not his speed is cranked up, he will still be one of the first characters I try. I sincerely doubt my experience with the game will be deeply affected if Flash's speed is not cranked up, but I still think it would be a nice addition for the purposes of flavor.

Spell checking the Tekken name.

I think for balance, it should remain the same, even though it is inaccurate, maybe he could have a standard fast ounch combo? Just XXX in PS3 and AAA in 360?

Oddly enough, I actually know how to spell it correctly, I just typed it in incorrectly (accidentally). I'll leave it the way it is, though, in hopes of getting flamed. whistling

I'm not actually arguing that the heroes didn't need to be toned down. We can't have Flash zipping around at the speed of light and performing 80 hit juggles. He should just be faster--but not obscenely faster--than the other characters, IMO.
