Injustice 2 Roster Discussion & Speculation Thread

I fucking hate Spawn, but whatever. People will eat that shit up.

I'd prefer more obscure DC characters. Spawn would be better suited for MK in my opinion.

Even though we got Dr. Fate could we potentially see a character like Ammon-Ra?

They need to call Capcom and ask how to make a less exciting roster. I'm dying to play almost every character this shit is gonna kill me!
 
No, Spawn not incoming. Boon is a fucking troll.

This is from an interview with Todd McFarlane about Spawn being in Injustice or MK.

"They have the access to be able to use the character in a couple of their games if they want to. It's up to their discretion," McFarlane says. "I gave them a window of time and I'll just leave it to them to do what it is that they want. I don't know if they're ever going to use it."

Someone on Reddit pointed this out which I think is amusing...

Ed Boon asked if Keanu didn't want to be neo who could play him. Keanu played Constantine. Constantine bait?

I loled, when someone likened Aquaman's armor to a BDSM harness. XD It looks more like something a Roman gladiator would wear, including the trident.

I think that was their inspiration. A net would also have been cool...

The idea that a ruler of an ocean nation would use a net is hilarious to me.

At least Spawn is a comic book character. Hoping we skip the MK or Horror movie characters. (Though Xenomorph and Predator are kinda-sorta canon to the DC universe).

What I'm most excited about is having playable online right out the gate. MKX was such a dumpster fire for trying to play online until the XL upgrade. Beta for this felt great, can't wait to play this!

The inspiration is spot on. I think that comment just speaks of the poster's lack of historical knowledge.
 
While I did agree with that animation thread it does looks like the NRS hate train is full steam a head.

Every thread relating to FGs I'm pretty confident to see NRS games get trashed in it.

Every thread about FGs devolves into shit-flinging and trashing.

The only exception to that are anime fighters but that's mainly because no even bothers to go there.
 
Seems like everyone must hate at least one fighting game.

I'm prob reading too much into it, but animations wise I can't argue.

But in terms of Faces and Gameplay I can

Yeah, being a competitive player myself I came to realise Competitive players are very picky, self included :D

The roster is huge and I really love KOF, so I keep thinking how cool it would be to have a 3v3 mode.

Someone in that Reddit thread mentioned that they're hoping for a 2v2 mode as DLC. I'd be content with that.

It then occurred to me that MK9 had 2v2 so I'm thinking this could likely happen. I mean, they gotta compete with MvC∞ after all, right?

2v2 is a very difficult thing to tack onto a 1v1 game and they didn't carry it forward from MK9 because nobody played it, so the chances of a comeback are pretty slim.
 
Injustice players getting exposed to the real plights of DCEU fans on the OT side! Hot Take City -- is this really my opinion, did this thing I read really put into words how I feel, or am I just using it as a crutch to hide my other biases.

I know it's incredibly unlikely, but if it was a character from Grant Morrison's Batman run that would be great. Michael Lane (The Third Ghost of Batman/ the "Bat-Devil") or Simon Hurt please.

Edit: I have no idea why the image comes out so small.

Edit: ah you got it. Wiki images are the worst.

Simon Hurt would be a great character, but his obscurity rules him out of making an appearance.

People complained about faces, the faces get improved.

People complained about gameplay, the gameplay improved.

Hell, even the animations have improved but honestly nothing is going to change those people's minds so I don't even bother anymore lol. I have more fun playing pretty much every fighter other than SFV (until they fix FANG) but even then I don't feel the need to create videos in an attempt to make people feel guilty for enjoying an "illegimate fighter". It's so transparent, it's silly. That said, I'm avoiding that thread like the plague.

Edit: If the FGC were a hat rack, then the Capcom community would be the Fedora.
 
Is the fighting community bigger on Xbox or PS4 these days? Don't have any preference so I'd rather just get it on the most popular one

Yeah true

PS4 by a huge margin

I can't even open that thread. I know just what kinds of posts are waiting for me. It's frustrating that so many members of the FGC look down on NRS fighters and don't consider them legitimate titles. The complaints are so superficial. Injustice 2 looks incredible, gorgeous even.

I have to say, there's so much stigmata against "filthy casuals" in fighting games, yet without them, there's no growth within the community. NRS cop so much flak but their focus on single player content makes their titles more accessible and creates an entry point for gamers to join the FGC.

What bothers me the most is that they're implying Injustice 2 suffers from the exact problems as MKX while it fixed a huge amount of issues.

I guess the SFV stans are jealous because this is gonna sell millions again while their game bombed.

Personally I'm gonna play Guilty Gear Injustice 2 and Tekken 7. I've let SFV to die since it was probably the worst SF I've played.
