Before it got nerfed, you could stunlock bleed out a LOT of enemies. And true, I do wish we had more wrestling stuff! There was a planned feature that passed the Survey polls too, for Enemy vs Enemy combat, but it never got added... would've loved to see some straight up powerscaling fights. And, I know she's the cutscene power, hype moments, aura farmer and all but, I wish we had Dark Knight fighting us at full power w/o her apparent teleportation super speed BS. If it's always gonna be "I WAS HOLDING BACK" then I feel she's gonna feel a weak pay off when we actually win story mode >_>
I dunno, I can understand Jess not using her magic in fights and Cait seemingly being way stronger than she lets on, but Dark Knight is the closest this game has to a rival in Story Mode (plus Adventure Mode too after Trudy gets whooped by her) and I worry she's gonna turn into a unresolved thread that's never humbled or given a proper fight. Because based on the current writing, Dark Knight is seemingly stronger than the False Demon King. I really hope this isn't gonna be a cliffhanger of the true partners behind all of this talking about how Hiro sure didn't actually stop them, while the credits roll ._.
This is me bitching about Dark Knight because I'm still upset the Slide tactic got removed with the Leg Sweep rework too, her fight felt, if you knew her counter, a turning of the tables that still needs a payoff. I don't want her being just the ultimate life form, teleports behind you, since unless the writing can achieve this upcoming plot hook it's teasing about her reasons she was given this role truly, it's gonna drive me nuts. I mean, of all the DK's forces, she seems the most excluded and even distanced from the others. She has new stuff now, of her interacting with the other members of the army, but that all still reinforces she's the fringe element. The weapon, given only a purpose to fight and fuck.
Okay I waffled a lot, I really just hope this game delivers on all the hooks and plot leads. Let us fight the Dark Knight one time where we do know her BS teleport/Barry Allen super-speed is coming and we Green Arrow her tf out. Trudy almost had that moment, fucking Trudy.
