I think it means the character is in a spot where you can do a stage transition hit.

It shows you're in range to hit the other guy into a stage transition!

It's pretty rude, but you can win it just by doing an advancing normal that hits fast. I just slap the AI using my forward medium attack, for example, and they either just take chip damage forever or get punched in the face repeatedly.

Apparently there is no other way to get source crystals other than leveling up (100-150 per level up). Or to buy them - it's like a free to play game that encourages you to buy things but it's a paid for game. If I had known this I wouldn't have spent all the ones I had just changing outfits for a character. Very dickish of NetherRealm and WB.

You get ~4000 from finishing story mode as well

Stayed up until 3AM this morning playing through story mode. I really need to jump into training so I can figure out move sets and combo strings.

Was super excited for Black Adam but when I got to play as him (like the two times in story that you can) I was underwhelmed, probably because I suck poo poo at these types of fighting games and didn't bother to look up poo poo at all.

I really like the flash though, and once I figured out Green Lantern he was less lovely than I anticipated. However, it seems to me that most of the characters that hover/fly are really clunky.

Supergirl is really fun to play though. Later tonight I'm gonna delve into the training sim and figure out which one of these clowns I like and git gud then take them into the Multiverse to punish AI or whatever. Gonna give Black Adam another go after I learn his move set and strings a bit more.

Anyone else have a favorite yet?

I. Am. The. New. God. All is one in Darkseid. This mighty body is my church. When I command your surrender, I speak with three billion voices. When I make a fist to crush your resistance. It is with three billion hands. When I stare into your eyes and shatter your dreams. And break your heart. It is with six billion eyes! Nothing like Darkseid has ever come among you: Nothing will again. I will take you to a hell without exit or end. And there I will murder your souls! And make you crawl and beg! And die! Die! Die for Darkseid!

Black Adam just absolutely shits out damage so hard it's almost unfair.

Is the Nightwing staff an obtainable item for Robin? If so has anyone gotten it?

It's an ability literally called Nightwing's Staff. Replaces your robin-rangs with the ability to use that button to switch between sword and staff, uses both ability slots. The staff mode is good, better reach, more focused on flippy poo poo, smooth like butter to go from sword to staff to sword again.

I really like Le Joker, Atrocitus, and Bane. All dudes who have yelling charging moves. I also really like Green Lantern now, he's way less awkward than the previous game and has much better moves. The battering ram/airplanes were so stiff and clunky holy poo poo I'm glad they are gone.

Sidenote I just got into the AI Battle thing and now I love it, even if it seems like just putting a zillion points into "Combo" might be the correct choice. Has anyone else been playing with that?

I found a smoke arrow thing for green arrow. If you meter burn it it hits low from most of a screen away and stuns them long enough that you can dash forward and start a free combo.

When I fought him in story, none of the poo poo he did made sense or didn't seem to impact me at all and I have no idea what his move set is supposed to accomplish. However, he is on my list of characters to gently caress around with.

Unfortunately, I went to pick up my pre-order of Injustice 2 and they didn't have any jerseys left so I got pissed and canceled my pre-order and left. Then I went back the next day and bought it anyway but now I don't have Dark Seid.

I really wanted that jersey and those fuckers didn't say anything about limited supply but I should have known better. Game is still fun though.

Is Brainiac balanced and his Story Mode just does more damage cause he's a boss or are his combos still bullshitty high damage.

Do you have to do two complete play-throughs to get both endings or can I jump ahead to the fight where I choose sides? I picked Batman's ending first.

The Chapters menu for story mode lets you just choose the other character for each fight that had a choice.

Kinda yes and no. you go to story mode and then select "chapters" and then you play the other character you didn't when there was a choice, (The one you played is checked off with a green check mark). so you kinda have to go back and do all those again and just keep going from there. I memorized who I should play at what point and then picked the other when it got to far where there wasn't a choice, I quit and went to a different chapter.

Darkseid Is a stone cold rear end in a top hat. I've played him like 3 times and every time it's just lasers and bitch slaps.

Got a cool headpiece for Scarecrow that looks like weird metal chunks literally nailed to my face, digging it's Silent Hill aesthetics. Any word if he gets a shredded labcoat as a chestpiece?

Reminder that you can use your AI in multiverse mode to level up. Just set up one of the easier ones, find an AI setting that best fits the character you're playing (it's under AI loadout), and select AI loadout.

Easy source of crystals too to help circumvent the f2p style bullshittery. Just make sure you click the A or X button a few times after every victory. My AI didn't lose during standard multiverse missions, but died like 30 fights into the endless fight one.
