I look forward to hitting f23 with Superman and winning a lot again because f23 is one of the most oppressive attack strings in fighting game history.

No Solomon Grundy? Like the best part of watching competitive Injustice was listening to the crowd shout the rhyme while he command grabbed you to death.

Slaughter Swamp is one of the stages, so its either Grundy or Swamp thing's stage(or both?)

Vid meant to show off Canary but first actual gameplay of Deadshot. If you thought he was gonna be toned down Deathstroke well initial look says thats way off base. He's a bastard child of Deathstroke and full auto jacqui, with a pinch of gunslinger erron tossed in. Only thing he's missing(which may be in just not shown in video) is instant air guns.

I know he's Superman but jeez, those 2 or 3 basic combos along with the lasers. Think maybe he should get toned down a bit but how the gently caress do you tone down Superman.

You don't. Superman was consecutively nerfed over and over in the first game and he was never worse than high tier. The way his moveset works he just can't be bad.

That said him being strong isn't a bad thing, hes incredibly fun to play as he can do everything.

So do you guys find him annoying or is it just because he's not as good as the top tier players? I'll admit I used to find him more entertaining than I do now, but I don't outright hate the man like everybody else seems to.

Personally I don't like how he's the "voice of the community" when hes nothing more than a shill. He will play NRS games as long as it keeps making him ad money on youtube and will drop it the second he can. I wish someone more respectable had his audience.

And yes, max is bad at games.

I love everything about Wonder woman I have seen, except one thing.

HOPEFULLY A PLACEHOLDER, but her j2 is that same weird jank animation that I loving hate. But combining the stances, her options, she gets in true NRS fashion a low or overhead combo starter into full combo that can be made safe on block with ex shoulder charge.

I wonder how they are going to explain him not just pulling the justice league from the last game back over again to bail his rear end out if this is the case.


He's got kind of a Black Adam vibe to him, what with the pose and all the floaty balls.

He screams to me Sinestro meets Raven. The triple shot is Sinestro's signature move even.

I just hope animation wise he got his super redone. It screamed placeholder to me and I hope I was right about that.

Aquaman also been in the can for the same amount of time, when he was last shown off he was copy/paste injustice 1 unlike say supes and batman, who have the "same" movesets but tons of new animations. So I hope he gets the same treatment they did.

It'll be different voice lines/intro & win pose, and maybe different particle effects/a move or two might animate differently.

Like the leak has all the CW characters having their TV look as a premium skin, I imagine those will be voiced by the TV actors.

How far does this go, like are we getting CW Firestorm and Captain Cold? I didn't know I needed Victor Garber and Wentworth Miller in a fighting game until now BUT I DO

As far as it went it was for Flash/Supergirl/Green Arrow.

The rest of the list for completions sake however naturally take with huge grain of salt.

Premium skin / Original Character

reverse flash / flash
power girl / supergirl
john stewart / lantern
black siren / canary
batwoman / batman
nightwing(damian wayne) / robin
red arrow / green arrow
bizzaro / superman
wildcat / cheetah
mr freeze / captain cold
shazam / black adam
deathstorm / firestorm
blackfire / starfire
arkham knight / red hood

Biggest maybe is Red hood and Starfire don't show up on the original leak list, however Hood has been showing up in other sources(magazines) stating he is in the game so I guess time will tell :shrug:

Supes wasn't doing too hot for a while there faced with Shazam's mighty package.

Superman totally won that fight though. He literally just went "enough" and then manhandled him like a child. Then he went on to(somewhat) save the day cause he is a drat hero.

Like even in the new 52 run of swamp thing, multiple times in the comic its obvious who he really wants to be.

The only time Superman's been interesting in a long while was Red Son.

Superman legit has a lot of the best stories in all of comics, however they aren't the kind where he punches/kicks people but rather where it just exploring what it means to be human(despite being an alien) and other all around inspirational stuff.

No other comic character has stories like Superman: Peace on Earth(which is a fantastic read) because well, they aren't Superman.

If Joker's in the game, I hope they never explain it. Have people wonder about it, throw out some theories and some hints, but never give a concrete idea of how he's there.

If Joker is in the game he should just be in versus and not appear in the story. The "proper" universe isn't here to bail out the injustiverse so unless something retarded like Batman felt bad for joker and put the 2 halfs of him that supes ripped apart in the lazarus pit he just shouldn't be around.

I mean NRS sorta already pulled this in MKX. The default looks for Liu Kang/Kung lao/Kitana do not exist in the storymode and were fakeouts as they were dead/revenants the whole time.

Grodd excites me because I really like extrememly stylistic move sets. i've always thought the spider-man video games lived and died by whether or not Spidey got sweet luchadore wrestling moves or just regular punches and kicks, it's important to give characters attacks he would use. Capt. Cold basically being a Melee Mei (from overwatch) looks fun as hell.

Grodd excites me cause he's a freakin gorilla and there needs to be more playable apes in fighting games.

That and who knows how he plays like really? The old footage from 6 months ago doesn't really show much. Maybe a grappler til he traits up, then more like a raven/kenshi style zoner?

I vaguely seem to recall him traiting up made him invulnerable to projectiles(passes through) but who knows if that still the case.

IIRC each of the various lantern corps has kinda like a spirit animal that is the primordial incarnation of that emotional spectrum (green/willpower, yellow/fear, red/rage, etc). It is called the Butcher and is the incarnation of rage. Parallax the yellow one is easily the most important/famous of them and has had many stories over the years.

I guess lets see whether or not Catwoman is in the new coat of paint camp like batman/superman or completely reinvented like wonder woman.

Gameplay wise she was perfectly fine in terms of what she had, but by NRS standards and how varied the characters can get, she was awfully by the numbers rushdown. Compared to say how Cheetah seems to be now, a rushdown pixie grappler with divekicks and demon flips, straight rushdown seems a bit vanilla.

Cyborg could instant air fireball like Kabal in mk9(think marvel 3 morrigan level of fireball output) so for the bulk of the cast they had a hell of a time getting in on him.

But yeah once that was taken away he was poo poo because he had nothing and was a poorly thought out character.
