All Intros and Stage Transitions we know so far:
Ed Boon has pretty much said “no,” although he hasn’t explained exactly what that means. Because they are actually changing character stats and even moves they will need to set what the “standard” for each character is. I know SF X Tekken wasn’t a beloved tournament game, but didn’t they deal with essentially the same thing?
I wouldn’t call myself an NRS fanboy, but credit where it is due. They have for a long time been pioneering the idea of a fighting game as more than just a competitive multiplayer and cramming their games full of single player content. I may not enjoy it much but lots of people do. The gear system is really designed for that - to give people a reason to grind the game and keep playing. I’m sure there will be a similar online mode and I’m guessing it won’t be quite as crazy as it sounds.
And hey…if the gear system doesn’t entice casuals into playing the game more, they could always make an Injustice Kart side game… ![]()
Or chess
Wow…I had forgot that was even a thing…
Motor Kombat… it was marvelous!
Ed Boon said they will devise a system to make it even and fair. But currently its not in place.
*** KI will always be my favorite…but NRS is making the best fighting game in the era. MKX and now INjustice 2 are in my opinion the most well rounded, overall best made games. I like to play KI more…but if KI had the quality and content of MKX… oh man… it would be the king.
I love aquamans outfit
Me too. It looks rather basic without any armour, but with the shoulderguard and the chestpiece it looks so good.
So far there’s 6 characters been revealed to us, those being Superman, Batman, Aquaman, Supergirl, Gorilla Grodd and Atrocitus (with Dex-Starr). We’ve seen their appearances and gameplay throughout E3, and though we saw Flash in the reveal trailer, hints of Captain Cold and the confirmation of Wonder Woman, I’d like to focus on those 6 until we’ve seen more of those other three.
Here’s my opinions:
-
Superman: I’ve never been a fan of Superman, neither his looks nor his gameplay, and his new costume looks worse than it did in the first game. His overall model looks better, but that’s the case with all of them.
-
Batman: I really like his new armoured look, especially the one where his entire face is covered. And his new winpose is pretty cool too, where he hurls the batarangs at the camera.
-
Aquaman: He looks ALOT better in this game. His gearless look is rather bare and basic, but as soon he gets that gear on, he looks awesome! I like how NRS have integrated some water-portals where tentacles come up from, as to show his power over control of sea-creatures, instead of his moveset just being his trident. And that new Super is really cool!
-
Supergirl: Like Superman, I’ve never really been a fan. I would’ve rather have had Power Girl. She looks cooler and at least doesn’t have that “female version of a male character” syndrome about her, even if she is indeed Supergirl from another universe (I think). However, Supergirl carries her look really well in Injustice 2 and her gear makes her look quite cool. I also kinda like how her Trait is her eye-laser, kinda reminds me of Fulgore with his massive chest-laser. Also a pretty cool Super.
-
Gorilla Grodd: Another character I’ve never really been interested in, but for a giant gorilla with a thick head and wearing golden armour, he’s pretty cool-looking. I also like how he integrates telekinesis into his gameplay so he isn’t just another typical heavy hitter, like Bane or Grundy were in the first game. For a large and strong character, Grodd is kinda interesting. However, his Super looks really lacking and boring compared to the others’.
-
Atrocitus (and Dex-Starr): I had never really known about Atrocitus, other than hearing his name and knowing he was a Red Lantern. And his companion Dex-Starr is someone I only just learned about at the announcement of this game. At first glance, I wasn’t sure what I thought about Atrocitus, but after seeing his gameplay, I can for certain say that he is indeed my favourite of the first 6 announced characters! I’ve played DCU Online using the Red Ring (Wrath) power, and I LOVE how much it uses blood magic, and Atrocitus has some cool moves showing that in Injustice 2. I love his demonic look, and him having a feline partner that flies about and assists him is incredibly hilarious and awesome! I had hoped Dex-Starr would somehow be included in the Super, but it’s alright as it is now.
Atrocitus is a clear winner so far, imo.
What are your opinions on the current 6 characters we’ve seen so far?
When’s Nightwing and Green Arrow?
No Grayson or Queen, No buy. Lol.
They all seem interesting in their own way. I’m kinda interested in seeing what other characters they can grab from the DC Vault. There are so many!
I personally like Atrocious right now too. His move set seems like a fun one to play, and he’s very serious. I like him! ![]()
Batman’s super had me laughing at how silly it was, but it works. He is Batman after all. ![]()
I like Grodd too. He is a very cool character in the DCU, and he is VERY intelligent. Plus, his Telekinesis seems like a cool thing to have. Very Kenshi like.
You see, I’m really worried about my favorite Master of Fear since Atrocitus seems to have some of his moves.
Don’t let Dex-starr’s cuteness fool you.
There was a scene from a Green Lantern comics where Dex-starr creeped up on someone and vomited on them.They melted into a pile of goo.
I’m waiting for this too.
So, I will say upfront that I am not really a DC super fan. I really enjoyed Injustice 1 though. My characters were Shazam (who will always be Captain Marvel to me, no matter what a bunch of lawyers say), and Grundy. I like the Shazam story and even though I have zero interest in Grundy somehow his multi slam play style just really appealed to me. I hope they both come back.
For this set I’m kind of up in the air. I actually like Superman but in terms of his in game presence I’m inclined to agree with @anon39655210. I’m somewhat interested in Supergirl because her moves look interesting and she’s different. But I’m still waiting for someone I love.
I’m not that much of a DCU fan either. I like Batman and Teen Titans, mostly because of the cartoons. The rest never really interested me. I’m a Marvel guy.
Most of the knowledge I get is by googling and on wikis. ![]()
Nightwing for the win
