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.


But from looking at the gameplay vids he already seems a great deal faster than all the characters we've seen so far.

And as for the characters we haven't seen yet I doubt they'd make any of them faster than Flash from a gameplay stand point.

Toning down strength while making him faster is not going to work with the laws of physics. As the Flash runs faster and faster, his mass increases exponentially, making most of his punches potentially more powerful than anything Superman could dish out.

Here, I'll give a quick summary of why the Flash, if accurate to the comics, would be severely overpowered for this game.

In recent years, with the knowledge and mastery of the Speed Force at his disposal, Wally has managed to surpass the speed of light.

# Use of his incredibly fast reflexes in order to withstand powerful blows.
# Gaining infinite force or weight as he approaches light speed, resulting in extremely heavy blows.
# Creating after-images of himself.
# Vibrate so that light does not reflect off him sufficiently, rendering him invisible.
# "Accelerated Healing" the ability to speed up his natural healing process.

There are more powers, such as being able to travel to alternate dimensions or through time, and all of them combined would make him essentially the fighter no one could beat in the game.

wink Stop crying about the flash. I will end the flash myself. MK is better than the flash. If MK and flash where on a shopping list MK would be first, WHY becasue MK is better than flash.

Why would anyone want Flash being too fast like he is truthfully? That's just asking for a broken character who can punish anything you do with a super-fast jab into maybe a launcher or dial that takes off 15-20% health.

man the flash is already toned down if you punch someone at the speed of light that someone is dead, as for being faster during regular movements thats just dumb, wally west isn't the fastest man alive 24-7 do you realize how tired he would be.

Very tired. But you do realize none of these characters in the game go out and eat or sleep in between matches, either, right? Flash could sustain his speed for a fairly decent amount of time, though afterwards he'd have to eat a lot due to his super-fast metabolism.

But Flash doesn't go at the speed of light in the game, and I've never said he should. He shouldn't, he should just be pretty fast. Since he's in a relatively small environment, he doesn't have much room to work up some speed, so I think that the speed depicted in videos is perfect right now, for the game's purposes anyway.

they may not eat and sleep but they should that is not a healthy life style, those 2 things are essential to sustaining life.

'The Flash' is fine as he is he is probably one of the best DC characters in this game next to deathstroke leave him be you cant have him super fast at everything otherwise it would be like fighting reptile in MK1 all over again lol and that would not be cool leave that to the secret characters.

@Casanova Nixon: Not in video game logic.

We aren't playing as the character 24/7, we're playing as the character for a few minutes a fight. The fights are dispersed, giving time for off-screen nourishment.
