Guild boss this week is a horrible design. Locked out once he dies, and it only took 4 rounds to kill him, that's some bullshit.

adding a punchwalking rage-drunk blood-mage with a demonic cat hellbent on righteous revenge is worth the "remove solomon grundy/sinestro/lex luthor" price of admission

Sinestro is also boring as gently caress. Plus they removed Luthor when Superman hosed him up.

At the end of the story mode I was left thinking: wait, they're really gonna leave all the alien cities in suspended animation? Why don't they put them down on earth? Then I saw joker's arcade ending where he does exactly that and watches with glee as all the different cultures murder one-another. I'm not sure if I should be more concerned about my thought process lining up with a maniac's or with the subtle xenophobia coming out of NRS's writing team.

Green Lantern: Mosaic plays with a similar concept really well, as Green Lantern John Stewart keeps the peace in a patched-together world of disparate alien cultures the Guardians task him with policing.

Can we like get a list of people down to play actual Vs. matches in the OP or something? Having a hard time finding people to play with and this thread is hoppin' so that shouldn't really be the case.

Only about 3 characters classified as villains get chapters.

(The right side of the character select screen.)

Actually, when it comes to the Multiverse it gets weird about who counts as heroes and villains. It's like it uses the non-Injustice versions to determine this.

For example, Harley did not count for a Multiverse objective that said "beat this event with a hero" even though she's on the left side of the select screen.

I was thinking more on the "ring randomly flies in from the sky deus ex machina style" end of things because, as you said, the cat side doesn't need to be elaborate. I suspect it's because I don't read Lantern Corps comics that that particular part seems dumb to me.

That's how lantern rings work, they fly around the cosmos seeking out individuals who embody their corps' paragon attributes, sometimes after the previous ring user dies.

Gotcha. I only ever knew that a previous Green Lantern died in front of Hal Sparks.. er, Hal Jordan and that's how he got his.

"My brain is amazing! It's full of wrinkles, and... Uh... Wait... What am I trying to say?"
I'm curious which designer looked up medium in the dictionary and translated that into relentless countering of every attack with a 30%+ punish, not to mention the things Braniac gets as a boss.

On a less salty note, I made fun on the inclusion of Captain Cold but I've ended up actually really liking him. I'm not really sure what the best use of his character ability is yet though.

The level 2 charge attack (the giant snowglobe) is ridiculously good. It's hard to build up charge for it but very worth it if you can pull it off.

I definitely liked Captain Cold a lot despite never hearing of him before, the only thing that disappointed me was the lack of a snowglobes reference when he fights Power Girl. It helps that he's pretty easy to get used to playing.

Looking at it now, it really is disgusting. The flesh is transparent. From the start, I had no idea if it would even make a clapping sound. So I diligently reproduced everything about human hands, the bones, joints, and muscles, and then made them slap each other pretty hard.

I would say maybe watch the IJ1 cutscene movie that must exist on YouTube and then just play this one. I guess if you're not sure if you like fighting games or NRS fighting games you can mess around with the first one

If you're also waiting for 2 on Steam like I am, might as well, right? It's the direct predecessor so I figure it's a good setup and most of the returning characters apparently play pretty similarly.
