Now is the time for us to gather together and celebrate those things that we like and think are fun.
I only got the game recently and have been enjoying it. I have a quick question that I didn't see in the thread:

Is Dr. Fate only in this game to be poo poo on in the story? Does he play a bigger role in the injustice comics? Or did nether realm want him in and therefore needed to throw him in somehow?

As someone who isn't familiar with the character, he did seem to get dunked on a bunch.

Got this thing a bit ago. Not super worth it, working on Supergirl's slowly but surely.

Dr. Fate is there as a nod to the comics.

In the comics, Green Arrow died and Fate transported Canary to an alternate universe where he was alive and her alternate had died.

In IJ1 the Green Arrow is from the visiting universe.

In IJ2, Fate brings Green Arrow and Canary back from the alternate universe.

He's also a giant tool that gets dunked on a bunch.

I thought I remembered the in universe Green Arrow being dead from the first game. But I must have missed the rest and assumed it was a bit of a recon much like Damien Wayne existing in the events that lead up to the regime.

Damien did exist pre-regime, but it happened way differently in the comics.

Dr. Fate is technically one of the most powerful guys around, but he's not very popular. So he's the one who usually gets dropped to show poo poo's going down.

Yeah. And story line wise, you can argue that he gets dunked on so easily because the man is in conflict with the lords of order, or whatever group of assholes give him his powers.

...man. That's pretty dull. Like, where's the Zinco jetpack, where's the cosmic horror or assists from bprd members? Seemed an awful lot of "hit them with the right hand of doom" and "shoot the Samaritan" and not a lot else? Hopefully I'm wrong. I'm gonna play the Crap outta him regardless.

I know why it happens to asymmetrical characters but the Right Hand of Doom constantly switching to his left hand is funny. I guess it's better than Freddy having two gloves in MK9.

yeah they could have done more with like, dozens of other DC characters. As a character in IJ2 Hellboy doesn't really fill any niche that we don't already have, especially with Atrocitus being a punching demon and Red Hood/Deadshot having pistols. He's neat to have but they didn't go crazy with what he could do.

Of the 6 characters revealed half are guest characters which is kind of poo poo when you think about all the other DC stuff left on the table.

I'd have traded both Raiden and Sub-Zero for Johnny Cage in a heartbeat.

Hellboy's a neat idea, but I'm not feeling anything creative in how he looks or plays. And they're still using rearranged canned lines for most fight banters.

MKX feels like it had a lot more polish and effort spent on it.

Isn't the canned lines thing because of the Voice Actor strike and has nothing to do with the studio?

Wait, his arm switches?! I should've watched more closely. Anyway Boooooooo

I figured they'd use the gun like a club more than a gun and that'd be his left "hand"

It's a fighting game thing, lots of 3D fighting games deliberately flip the characters like that for the sake of visual clarity

...but NRS games still have the nigh-pointless stance switch, so they didn't have to do it at all.
