There's no evidence Hawkeye does not have his own ANTI-Nuclear Bomb Arrow.





Although Queen could have an ANTI-ANTI-Nuclear Bomb Arrow. Hmmm....

Very much so. Atom and Green Arrow killed Darkseid so, so it must do. Shot an arrow at him, Atom went, well, atom-sized and got into his head and blasted his brain directly.

This was a dark alternate future. I think the book's called 'Rock of Ages'?

What do you guys think of Firestorm so far? I think he's pretty bad but idk. They said he's a zoner but he has no way of applying full screen ship pressure (Fate and Deadshot both do), and even though his damage output is good, his strings and normals are mostly bad. I don't get what he's supposed to do.

I made a series of bad investments. Tarantula farm. The bottom fell out of the market.

Can anyone recommend some basic tutorial-type videos on MK/Injustice games specifically? I have watched the eternally-recommended vids for fighting games in general, but I want to improve and this kind of game is totally alien to me.

e: Like I don't even know when to make the basic rear end decision of "what punch should I use next"

Every character has a tailored tutorial you can access under the practice menu that teaches you their moves and some basic combos. You even get a loot box reward for completing it.

I thought the same thing. Firestorm gets regen/powerup from his trait and his burst move is cool, but Doctor Fate seems to do basically everything Firestorm can do and more. Deadshot is straight up zoning and has trick shots to apply pressure from angles, lows, and anti-air but Firestorm is kind of lame. I can't think of any reasons to use him over Fate, Cold, and Deadshot if you want to do traps and projectile gameplay.

Mark it zero!
Do I need to get a new stick for this game? Or will my old TE still work? It wasn't supposed to work on PS4 but through some wizardry still worked with Skullgirls and the last MK.

If new stick: suggestions on which one? The FG thread still recommends Mad Catz which seems rather out of date now.

I honestly think this game plays worse on a stick than on a pad, but ymmv. It has legacy support so any PS3 stick should work.

Its a little early for injustice2 tutorials to start coming out but how I usually solve the 'what punch should i use next' problem is by going into practice mode and trying out all of a character's basic combos. You can press triangle to tag them so they show up on the screen while you're playing.

I then pick 1 combo from each of these categories to really commit to memory and learn:
Starts fast
Mixes in low/overhead attacks
Has good range

Then start fighting! You'll really only ever learn what works and what doesn't by trying things out.

How about good streamers instead of tutorial videos? The less racist/sexist/homophobic the better. "Most viewed" on twitch seems to attract that

I heard this does not follow the continuity to tie in comics establish and Green Arrow/Black Canary and a few vs dialog are the only connections, is that true?

To extend this a little bit if you wanna have a little more depth:
- Try to have a normal or combo string that starts with a mid at the ready at all times. Lows and overheads are good to have but can be blocked/jumped by smarter players and are often punishable! Consider it your move to keep the opponent in check. Mix it up!
- When looking at a combo, pay attention to the number under 'Block Adv'. That is your 'block advantage.' the higher the better. Super negative is real bad. In MKX if that number was worse than -5 (i think??) you could be punished if the combo didn't push the opponent far enough away. It's probably around the same here. This rule doesn't factor in cancelling the combo into a special move, so experiment with what pushes people away or leaves you close and in positive 'Block Adv'.

So far it appears to be following beyond starfire being noted as dead by cyborg when in the comics she was clearly alive with him at the funeral. Also the timing of damien's betrayal. But I'm near the end of the game, so I can't say that conclusively.

It only fleetingly comes up. The whole Arkham thing was significantly retconned.

Edit: Is there a lobby/exhibition system in this game? I haven't really done the online yet so I'm not knowledgeable.

I still do not get the entire point of that scene, other than characterizing Damian as That Teenager Who Thinks Batman is Lame Because "He Should Just Kill The Bad Guys, Man".

Which I guess works in a Superboy Prime way, but they don't do anything with him.

I wonder if the Arkham thing was some kind of miscommunication, it seems strange that they'd go out of their way to pick Zsasz to be the one Damien kills when he has such a notable, if small role in the comic. And thy clearly went out of their way to conform to the comic otherwise, there's non-contradictory references to those events throughout the story/fight intros/etc.

They probably didn't want to confuse/alienate people who never read the comics with a whole bunch of referenced events the first game never covered.

I feel like having Green Arow From A Third Alternate Dimension show up and never really explain anything but vague references to being from a third alternate dimension is probably more confusing than that would be.
