Basically a reminder that Birdy existed and Capcom thought enough of her to immortalize her in sprite form.

I don't recall the splits in the first game, but I think that it was basically the Universe A people who did all the work. So after everyone goes home, Injustice Batman's a little shorthanded.

If Brainiac/Supergirl/Atrocitus/whover all show up he might get desperate for manpower.

It really made the heroes of the Injustice-verse look super incompetent that the Regular-Verse guys could clean up their mess so easily.

The Universe A guys had a complete united Justice League. The Universe B guys didn't. It's (relatively) easy to beat Superman, Yellow Lantern Cyborg and Wonder Woman when you have Batman, Batman 2, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Shazam, and Cyborg all on your team.

Very good write-up! Fighting games were always something I wanted to be good at, especially once all the Marvel stuff came out, but something about the mechanics has never clicked with me. To this day I still cannot reliably pull off a Dragon Punch.

But I did absorb a lot of Capcom's Marvel stuff from when we would play MvsC at my friend's house on his Dreamcast, and from watching my friend play all the various games in the arcades over the years. It didn't feel like a real visit to the arcade if I didn't hear "berserkerbarrageberserkerbarrageberserkerbarrage" at least a few times.

I still have a PS1 copy of Marvel Superheroes vs Street Fighter. It's scratched beyond oblivion, only occasionally works, and all the music is muted, but it's still a really fun game.

Except Cyber Akuma. Cyber Akuma is bullshit.

Things like Birdys cameo in the MvC games is why i absolutely love that series.

The amount of research and attention to nail the little detail of these characters must be staggering

The only comic book hero who doesn't have the same body as everyone else is Squirrel Girl, because she's chubby.

Yeah, I almost said something about that in the Games thread. She's technically wearing more than she does in her "classic" look, where she's just covered in fur, but they gave her a Shanna the She-Devil bikini and it somehow looks even more salacious. It's downright goofy.

I'm hoping for a Poison Ivy skin that's just the Batman:TAS look, too.

Scarecrow apparently leaked for Injustice 2? Do they have enough Batman characters?

Also Green Lantern and Cyborg, but that's not all that surprising.

Honestly Injustice 1 felt like it wanted to be a Batman fighting game that was grudgingly including all these DC universe characters but muting down their colour palettes and personalities to the grim and gritty Arkham City tone, so more Batman characters makes sense. Like, the designs that felt most at home with the palettes of the stages and the look of the game in general were Joker, Harley, Catwoman and the Batfamily.

I want more characters like Swamp Thing or Grodd, so if they add anymore Batman characters it needs to be Clayface.

A bunch of still unannounced characters have been hinted in previous trailers. Scarecrow was one of them.

Captain Cold is another I remember. And Dr. Fate.

You know, people justly complain about Mortal Kombat vs DC, but the "heroic brutality" where Green Lantern puts someone inside a bubble and then instantly compresses it is pretty :stonk: and :black101:
