He didnt scream about vengeance at all. I'm sad.

Really though this is the best news ever and I am crazy excited. Everything about him looks good. Love how they used my favourite move from mk9 as his overhead.

I can see him and Batman both just screaming "vengeance!!" at each other. I can dream.

I've also noticed nobody has mentioned that he can throw people in mid air, which is amazing. Seems like you have to MB the chain to make it leave them standing though, which is kinda sucky but oh well.

Groudn throw animation is cool as hell.

Disappointed as anybody by a Scorpion announcement, but his costume actually looks pretty amazing for a Jim Lee design and holy poo poo that win pose. The MMH tease will tide me over.

I'll admit I would be pretty hype for Scorpion if his trait was the MK run with armor.

From the video it looks like Scorpions trait is something similar to Supermans. You can see him activate it a couple seconds after the clash when he gets surrounded by that flame aura. Though I'm unsure if his air throw is only accessible after the trait activation or if he has it all the time. Also it would be nice to see what his spear does when it's not meter burned, but I guess we'll see when he's available.

Everybody already knows that Zod is the last character so the MMH tease has to be for a second batch of characters or just them being really mean. Scorpion's design and gameplay look fine but ultimately I think he's a bit of an uninspired choice for a guest character.

That's pretty much how I feel. Like I'm sure he'll be fun (If not maybe a little imbalanced at first) but I really would've preferred to get MMH, Zatanna, Static, Swamp Thing, really any number of actual DC characters instead.

KungFu Grip posted:

Well what if the movie flops and Zod is a boring and lovely character in the movie? No one would want to play as the lovely boring dude from a bad movie.

I don't really have a whole lot of faith in the new movie, so that was my thought as well. Release Zod, play up a little bit of extra publicity for the movie, hopefully get some sales off him early in case the movie sucks.

I don't understand that conclusion at all. Without the movie, the audience for Zod as a DLC character would basically be just the people who already have the game and the subset of folks who just happen to be huge Zod fans for whatever reason. With the movie, the character will be more well-known than ever. It's not like people are gonna go see the movie and then be like "well, I would've bought the character before I saw the movie but now I won't".

Even if Man of Steel does end up sucking no one is going to care as long as Zod in Injustice is a worthwhile character. If he plays well, has a fun super and/or has a decent character trait then I'm certain people without season passes will want to pay and play him. Especially if he comes in totally broken. Whatever happens though, the movie will increase his exposure.

Oh man, Scorpion? They made him look pretty sweet in the character design, and I for one really like how he turned out artistically. His move pool seemed pretty much the same, differences I noticed were a j3 (the sword jump attack), his throw, and his Spear. The Spear looked like it would act like Batman Grapple, some sort of attack, but stuns if MBed. That j3 looked like it could have similar crossover mechanics of Black Adam due to it swinging behind his model. I wish his super was cooler, really felt lacking there. At the same time, I'm glad they didn't just use his MK9 X-ray attack. It also really needed Dan Forden's 'Toasty' in it somewhere. Hopefully, it'll randomly happen on his d2, which looked to be the MK Uppercut. I noticed he looked like he damaged Superman when activating his Trait, but that might have been something else. A Damage Buff seems most likely, though if it were like Raven and he got an altered move pool, that'd be cool too.

If anything, I'd expect it to be like Batman's grapple, where he just kicks you away, since the meter burn version looks like Batman's, where you get to follow up after it.

Ya that seems likely since it does meter burned what it normally does in MK. Strange they would have him go for spear so many times and not even show a cold one connecting at all for comparison.

Good eye. I didn't see it hit Superman at first but now that I do I'm thinking it acts less like a buff and maybe more like a combination of Aquaman and Black Adams trait or maybe a lesser mix of all three to an extent.

Another interesting thing to note about Scorp is that his super doesn't appear to be a counter like it was suggested earlier but it has at least one hit of armor.

My thought here would be that it is actually the same, but MBing it decreases the damage drop off for using it in a combo by a good margin.

I wonder then if it's a circular AoE around Scropion, or something like Flash's Wall thing in terms of hitbox. If it's the earlier then I will have found my main for this game.

I was totally expecting the worst with Scorpion but he doesn't look that bad all around to be honest. His super is kinda lamedick but that was pretty much guaranteed. ALSO MARTIAN MANHUNTER TEASE! Not that i'll be getting to play any of these till the "summer" I got this on WiiU. :smith:

That was a Black Lantern Superman, Black Lantern is basically undead monster versions of heroes that can't die or something similar. Either way, a Black Lantern pack would be kinda cool if that's not just the free patch skin.

I'll admit I was sad that during the phantom zone transition that you don't see a tiny screaming shao-kahn head float by, to tie it in with MK9vsDC.
Scorpion looks cool, I hope he's balanced well and doesn't come with day one infinites, I'm pulling for a season pass2 because I've been dissapointed over-all with what we got.
I wish there was a way to get rid of the life bars and stuff like in these demo videos.

Don't read much in terms of Comics, but I did read the Darkest Night and I'm all for black lantern versions of some people. Scorpion is really the universal fighting game character. There's no part to where you couldn't find him fitting into a fighting game.

I'd like to hope this means seven outside of the euuugh Ame-Comi outfits. Just wondering what the new Green Lantern will be, maybe another Black Lantern or if not that then possibly the USAF Green Lantern from Red Son? Plus if it does turn out to be that, then Red Son Batman (As if he doesn't have enough getups) will probably be right behind it, which would admittedly be kind of cool.
