They gotta get Conan to voice a Flaming C alt costume for Superman, they have a second chance to make this right now.

They actually made one for the original when the game was featured on one of Conan's Clueless gamer segments. Never publicly released it as far as I know.

Do you still have links to those profiles? They were interesting, and a decent chunk of the cast is returning.

My money's on Poison Ivy.

Technically already revealed, but it probably is her gameplay vid.

Star Sapphire would be the most appropriate, not that she will be in.

it seems to be "alt universe only" right now which is why Shazam, Lex Luthor, Doomsday, etc are being left out due to death. In that case I would be glad if Joker is left out, he was really loving weird in terms of animations in the first game and it was off-putting, not to mention how loving bad his face/voice actor were. Harley Quinn's moveset encapsulates a lot of Joker stuff already i.e. big mallet, poison syringe, hyenas.

Having it be "alternative universe" also kind of explains why Supergirl is new in this storyline.

But isn't Green Arrow dead in this universe? Not that death has ever meant much for comic media, but it would be weird if they use it as a basis to drop characters inconsistently.

Boon teasing a "deep interesting" roster reveal tomorrow. Someone asked if it was Flash and he responded "not exactly deep into the roster" so I'm guessing we get a guaranteed new character.

"Deep cut" certainly fits Captain Cold so I'm going to predict it's him.

Snowflame, at last.

Green Arrow and Black Canary both exist in a place outside of time per Injustice canon so he could be an alt-dimension Green Arrow just not the mainline one.

Ah, I haven't read the comic. They say he is dead in story mode of the first game, and I was going by that.

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!)

Also the universal roll, so everyone has at least one (expensive) option to get in.

Probably so, but I'll still be disappointed if it is. The game has way too many "summon a buddy" traits.

Only if he's the incredibly deep and dark Fred from the comics





The Flintstones is legit the best comic DC is currently publishing.

Fred could summon a bunch of helper animals/appliances, and he'd fit right in.

Going by bio on official site, Joker is still dead as a doorknob. So I guess playable but not featured in story mode(thank god).

As others have speculated, I would bet dollars to donuts that he shows up for a couple story mode fights as a scarecrow gas hallucination. Batman, Superman, and Harley are all prime candidates.

I would assume other than possibly Scarecrow, since it is ambiguous what exactly is really occurring during his fights.

oh undeniably, that's how I started KOF and Guilty Gear and poo poo but since the NRS stuff is the only game that usually has a worthwhile story mode I always thought it was fun to go in blind for a while and then do training mode later on.

Same, the fact that the story is typically amusing enough, it switches your character every few fights, and typically by the end you have seen a bit of every character, lets me use it as a really basic character survey to decide who I want to spend time actually learning.

I had to unblock comments on this after seeing the rating and yep, it was like cracking open a halite geode. Even a middling player can put up a decent fight with a few MB rolls/bounces but of course everyone's QQing about zone spamming and why all fighting games are terrible (except SFV, which is terrible because it apparently has no zoning). I really wish I had a PS4 right now.

It's expected, but on the other hand if you block comments on this one you would miss

The bar fills as you deal damage with the DoT from the first activation, and when the bar fills up it turns green and starts to drain. While it's green you can press the character power button to do a quick knockdown move with a pretty generous area of effect.

Also while active any attack that uses fear gas (aka any attack with a green effect) will also add to the bar. The move you unlock, Traumatize, is a full screen low that puts characters in the same kind of unbreakable stun as a full Canary Cry.

Yeah I was screwing with Brainiac early today and he has a ton of variety in where his attacks hit, but he's just loving ponderously slow and his trait is rear end.

If they get to Injustice 3, I really hope a primary design goal is making every trait impactful, because so many are total duds.

The sad thing is they made big improvements compared to Injustice 1, where a huge number of traits were never used.

DLC Inc posted:

I really like Green Lantern's alt trait, the forcefield. I actually think they did a decent job this time around with making each trait unique, really only Superman, Cheetah, and Lantern have generic ones (I guess Bane too though he can stagger his charges)

Swamp Thing really got the short end of the stick, I didn't even remember what the gently caress his was til I looked it up. It's loving bad.

From videos I've seen, Swamp Things trait really blooms if he puts the opponent into the corner. The opponent will land in it at the end of his juggles and then can't jump, which makes getting out of the corner that much more difficult. Kind of niche, but not completely and utterly worthless the way, for example, Injustice 1 Cyborg trait was.

Probably. They had Jim Lee do the injustice designs for both Subzero and Scorpion.

ImpAtom posted:

Black Adam is basically The Original Captain Marvel and is pretty similar to Sinestro. He got superpowers to be a hero and ended up abusing them to become a tyrant instead. He was sealed away/shot into space/etc and ended up coming back. In some versions he's the person who killed Billy Batson's parents. He has basically the same set of powers more-or-less but is evil-sometimes-antihero. A lot of writers basically just make him DC's Namor.

Adding to this, in at least one version he was sent to the other side of the universe for abusing his powers, rather than accept this and making a new life he instead spent a few thousand years slowly flying back to earth. He's kind of in a weird place in that his brutal/complicated antihero stick is more popular than Captain Marvel, but he is so closely associated with that character.
