In recent years overexposure to fear toxin has made Scarecrow unable to feel fear at anything non-Batman related

the yellow ring gave him that back

Massive self ownage is a recurring thing with poor scarecrow

Mera's thing these days (i don't know how much of this is a retcon) is that she's from some exiled Atlantean tribe stuck in basically the underwater Phantom Zone and was sent by them to basically assassinate Aquaman by getting close to him but then she fell in love with Aquaman by accident. It's kind of cute, if a little stupid.



Lol is that just a random dude in the last panel? Because that would own even more than it being a real character.

E: Wonder twins would be totally awesome, if they did like a Noob/Smoke thing with them.

Counterpoint: Catwoman looks awesome and aerial Cat Dash is everything I ever wanted, ever. I hope it still has armor on the meter burn!

I am excited that my stupid character is back and seems mostly unchanged! I just hope I can figure out how to fight without accidentally inputting Cat Dodge 10000 times like in the last game. That input was the bane of my existence.

in-depth gameplay we still haven't seen yet:

Grodd
Deadshot
Ivy
Braniac
Catwoman
Cyborg
Green Lantern
Green Arrow
Firestorm
Black Adam
Scarecrow
Aquaman

Curious to see if Cyborg was changed from poo poo-tier with a hilariously awful ability to anything else. We've seen quite a bit of Grodd but haven't gone terrifically deep into his basics.

Cyborg was top tier until they nerfed his fireball, wasn't he?

Out of curiosity who would you say the bottom 5 injustice characters were? If you say Catwoman I will have to melt downchallenge you!

But yeah cyborg is lame as poo poo and only made it in because he's in all tv shows. He's the only lame-rear end character that's returning!

I thought MKX's story was super weak. They did a half decent 'oh poo poo!' moment at the end of D'Vorah's chapter but it after that there were no surprises. You knew who was going to end up beating Shinnok by the end of chapter 2.

They said very early on that you get a random piece of loot for your dude after every match based on your dude's level i.e. play a dude more to get more and better stuff. I sincerely doubt it'll be purchase based beyond the usual 'buy the new skins!' being 'buy the new gear set!'

Yeah i mean I learned how to actually play fighting games off of Injustice and I can do it fairly well, but I'd much rather support costumes opening up stupid poo poo i.e. Captain Cold platforms over dialed-in no customization fighting that they are pushing for ranked.

I feel like ranked fighting is always the feature mode in fighting games, and when you strip out parts of your game to make it work for ranked on it's face it's kinda lame that you're pandering to a minority group.

Anyways as long as goon rooms are items-on then who even gives 1/100th of a poo poo

I think its mostly a lesson learned from Variations from MKX, as for the most part Variations were just a failure. A grand and worthy experiment to try absolutely but with rare exception generally characters only had 1 variation worth a drat and the other two were not worth your time. Its just hard to balance that kinda stuff.

Yeah I suppose you're mostly right about this.

I played ethereal Mileena because I couldn't be assed to figure out how the variations differed from each other and I liked the pale skin visually. I would tech piercing against Kano or Sub zero though for the low knife counterplay.

wow Deadshot looks even more annoying than Deathstroke or Jacqui Briggs with the speed of all these gunshots, jesus. I wonder if he'll have a lower health pool or something to balance that all out.

From what we've seen of the game I think a lot more characters have aerial mobility and teleports and dodges and such so it should balance out (I hope!)

End bosses in fighting games should always be overpowered cheating bastards that require 20 tries to beat, IMO. The first time I beat shao kahn in MK9 just ran away and dodged his poo poo until he'd taunt and then I'd uppercut him because ???kombos??? lmbo
