Injustice-verse Green Arrow is dead, and black canary has been emigrated.

Since canary is in the game, that does imply some sort of alt-verse shenanigans.

It's already confirmed in her bio.

Batman is desperate so he reaches out to her, and she comes back to help finish the job. Green Arrow is presumably the Oliver she ends up with coming along too.

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.

That's not too hard to hand wave. If he wants to do it with his own people, Canary might be in another universe but she's still a local.

The original comic was the 5 years before Injustice. This one is the time between the games.

Evil Canadian posted:

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:

Black Siren would also be from the TV show.

Grodd is Kotal Khan, Superman is Mileena, Brainiac is Shinnok, Batman is uuuuuh Johnny Cage? Supergirl is Cassie Cage

edit Batman is Raiden, definitely raiden

edit2 and I wonder where Atrocitus come into play, maybe he could be Brainiac's Quan Chi

Supergirl's a bad guy isn't she?

Does anyone know how you upgrade a gear level in the mobile game? It's the only daily I have left.


Edit: you need to destroy a duplicate gear item for shards to upgrade others.

You get a silver loot box for every character tutorial you do, by the way.

They're all like 6 to 9 little steps that teach you some basic combos or ability use.

And a platinum one just for linking the mobile game, so you should probably do that even if you don't plan on playing it. It also unlocks a premium skin for Cyborg but who cares about Cyborg.

So what are all the mobile/console unlocks you get from linking the games (other than Grid)?

I got a platinum loot box. The linking page then said keep playing both for more unlocks, but didn't specify.

Edit: Or Diamond? I forget what the top level box is called.

Netherrealm's combo system has always been nice and forgiving for non-experts.

More tutorial questions! I'm practicing with Black Canary and her Front Handspring follow-ups (df3). The one where you just have to hold 3 is easy. But then the other two it says to hold d+3 or u+3, how does that work, I was able to mash through it after repeating 100 times but I don't actually understand the timing or presses

Edit: Welp, as soon as I posted that I managed to figure it out. My reflexes feel shot

Yeah, the thing it doesn't make clear is that they're not so much follow-ups as interrupts. So not knowing that totally throws off your timing.

So I decided to front the money to level up black canary, cheetah, and poison ivy along with getting the skins - now their levels went back down. it saved the the source crystals I had (after using them). WB's answer was to power down the system, uninstall and reinstall the game - so now I'm waiting to download 11ish gbs of game now. loving hell. I am going to be furious if this doesn't work.

I haven't had the issue myself but a few game site shave reported on it. You don't have to reinstall. Power down (not rest mode) for at least 5 minutes. That clears the cache, then you should be good.

Others have said just going into the character tutorial for the one that lost levels restores them too.

Do you have to do two complete play-throughs to get both endings or can I jump ahead to the fight where I choose sides? I picked Batman's ending first.

The Chapters menu for story mode lets you just choose the other character for each fight that had a choice.

Hey ordered this game but they didn't send it out until just now so can't play it yet, was just curious how long it takes roughly to get a character to level 20? Seeing in a lot of streams and pre release stuff that people were getting level 20 gear from the story mode and complaining that the game was transparently trying to tempt them into buying stuff to circumvent that or something, I don't really care about that but I am wondering how long it'll take me to get a character up.

I'm not there yet and haven't focused on a character hard so I don't know the answer to the question, but each character gets a level 20 piece at the end of their chapter. It's part of the chapter rewards.

Presumably it's given at 20 so it's useful. What good is a level 3 item when you're 5+? Other than those specific level 20 rewards, gear you get playing the story is within a range of your current level.

Does anyone know what the rewards are for linking to the mobile app? It looks like it unlocks the Grid skin and a diamond box initially, and I read something about a daily chest after that. Haven't been able to find any more information though. I was kind of hoping gear transferred.

I've been getting a bronze chest each day. That's all.

On the mobile side though you get 30 gems or so a day from having them linked and playing the console version.
