Darkseid and Grodd look right up my alley, I love big bruisers with some ranged options and short combos. I've only been playing Injustice 1 for a few days and haven't gone through the whole roster yet but so far Solomon Grundy is totally my jam.

I have no opinion about the broader FGC, I just wanted Punk to shove his "whine about everything under the sun except his own ability causing his 10-0 loss" schtick up his rear end. That isn't trash talking, it's just being bitchmade about getting wrecked. Being the Andy Dick of gamers is a lovely "brand", don't defend that garbage just because he has skills.

Either you're right or he was lamely trying to play off getting destroyed while the crowd laughed at him, either way that supposedly friendly exhibition match was an unpleasant watch and his gimmick blows.

I'm sure perceptions will change after people get a significant amount of time with the game. I'm excited to play Darkseid, but I also see features of him that make me think people might be overestimating him due to hype. Not that this will stop me from enjoying working on him, of course. I've always been a sucker for zoner characters whose goal is to control the field.

Hey, at least Darkseid is a complete character this time around. If you remember what he was like in MKvsDC -- or to really go wayback, that Justice League SFII clone for SNES/Genesis -- this is by far the most respect he's gotten in a fighter in decades.

All the other bios are establishing why the character is in the position they are in at the start of Injustice's story. These are basically just the intro paragraph you could find on Wikipedia for the character.

Sub-Zero's doesn't even go as far as Scorpion's does from the last one in tossing off a token explanation for his presence in this dimension.

After MK9, NRS moved away from ridiculous beachball breasts. The comparison between MK9 to MKX is starkly notable and is way better.

those are still giant titties though so idk what else to say

True but it's still notable that they're within the human(oid) norm, Wonder Woman in the last game was swinging bowling balls.

I just want premium classic costumes for every character. 1970s and 80s versions of everybody preferably looking like they are wearing a halloween costume due to the realistic graphics. Still pisses me off that only the Teen Titans characters got them in IJ1

I'm not super mad (heh) about it but it's pretty weird that Superman had a dozen skins and the only one with trunks was Cyborg Superman

How ironic is it that the one guy who should absolutely be decked out in heavy armor and headgear is instead wearing a PVC jumpsuit with a bare head and arms?

Extremely, the answer is extremely. And even moreso that he can't benefit from the gear system to change his look.

Man they pretty much messed up everything with making Freeze.

After seeing him using Captain Cold's moveset and animations I would've been okay waiting for a separate DLC character down the road (and already waiting for the PC version hey, maybe...). In my mind Freeze leans more in the direction of Darkseid, slower and heavier with a bait and counter strategy, modeled after his boss fight in Arkham City. Him being a skin of Cold down to the super just feels weird.

I guess the game's close enough to officially released that they don't care about story mode spoilers anymore, you can see all the cutscenes on Youtube now.

Thanks for the heads-up. I was also interested in Guilty Gear and Tekken but will probably put most of my time into this, so we'll see.

Do people use the thumbstick or the D-pad on the controller? These games don't use quarter circle motions right

IJ1 had an alternate control option that enabled diagonals, I imagine 2 does as well.

That is because Cyborg is a mediocre character that DC has tried really hard to push since the Reboot. Despite no one caring or wanting them to.

He is also far more associated with the Teen Titans then the Justice League who he really does not make any real sense being part of, nor does he deserve to be a founding Member.

The coolest thing anyone's done with Cyborg in literal decades is making an evil clone of him that looks like the Terminator hate-hosed the Nvidia logo.

Watched a video of all of Joker's intros. I loved how he seriously commits to multiple possible explanations for his presence just to gently caress with people. I'll be interested to see if there's an actual explanation for it once I get my mitts on story mode tomorrow.

And depending on which one (if any) is true, that green gas cloud that he steps out of in one of his intro animations could be Smilex, Scarecrow's fear toxin, miasma from Nekron's deathscape. Just perfect.

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 only fleetingly comes up. The whole Arkham thing was significantly retconned.

I wonder if the Arkham thing was some kind of miscommunication, it seems strange that they'd go out of their way to pick Zsasz to be the one Damien kills when he has such a notable, if small role in the comic. And thy clearly went out of their way to conform to the comic otherwise, there's non-contradictory references to those events throughout the story/fight intros/etc.

Its mad hosed up that Fate's pain field can still damage you after you hit him into a stage transition, though.

I wonder if you're both at sufficiently low health that you hit Fate into a transition that will kill him during the animation while you also take fatal field damage during the same period, who takes the kill.

At the very least, watch the Superman ending.

Yes, the Batman ending is undoubtedly going to be the "canon" ending going forward for any sequels but the Superman ending is by far the :vince: option.

More broadly, I like the recurring implication throughout the story that this universe is getting increasingly broken by everything turning upside-down and some kind of... what's the word... crisis may be coming.

health is a gear stat

Differential HP is baked into the character and gear HP values just modify it while defense is 100% a gear stat, with gear disabled it completely vanishes from the equation. Like an RPG with separate HP and armor values, and different classes have different base HPs.

I think every character should have a 90s Premier skin that just gives them pouches and that weird headband thing Shaft from Youngblood wore.

Superman has clearly embraced his inner Gambit this time around.
