DC is hot property right now and they are doing everything right in term of marketing.
I don't agree that DC is hot property but injustice is going to sell tons.
There's a huge army of Street Fighter defenders, many of them also quite condescending. I would know, because I, as a newcomer to the series, was burned by Street Fighter Vs shitty release state and when I and others went online and voiced our complaints we were always blasted by that fanboy army. What they basically said: Deal with it. Street Fighter needs no content for it is the absolute best fighter ever created and it's not meant to be played by filthy casuals anyway.

Trust me, that army has decreased significantly in number after a year of Capcom's BS.
As a Mortal Kombat fan and 10 years in here, yeah I know the feeling. XD
So is not surprising seeing that thread, with a bunch of "blocked users".
Valid criticism I am always 100% behind, but dense people and blatant trolling, people that only visit that kind of threads, but has never not even once posted in threads like this one or any reveal thread to discuss anything? Quickly complain about animations, faces with a lol...and that's it?
Whatever. I moved on from them. So the result of that thread, is not surprising. Kinda deja vu actually, close to the release of Injustice 2. Something needs to counter the positivity around it.
EDIT:
Is why I also always laugh when I see the threads and posts around "why noone told me Shaolin Monks was good?! Where's the sequel?"....gee, I wonder why? If you cover your eyes and ears, screaming "Mortal Kombat sucks lalalala", why noone told you about a MK game?

Each fan will get their own custom DLC pack with the characters they want the most?
I remember your MK threads from back in the day when like 85% of the posts were drive by shot posting and trolling.

Give me that Buffy: The Vampire Slayer.

I second this. As much I enjoyed the trailers for those newcomers but it's really refreshing to not know who is coming as DLC so hopefully it would stay that way for long time.
I remember people giving passes to SFxT on disc dlc, it was honestly shocking to see people excuse and even defend it.

No, she would be a guest.

She would be a guest. Teased last year but I think she barely got any votes in Boon's pool. Would be a great tribute for the 20th anniversary.
No, but she's a WB character so it isn't difficult to get access to her.

That was shitty move by Capcom, imo. Also Capcom isn't that great with their communication skills with the fans. I bought Street Fighter x Tekken for X360 so my friends and I could play online game together but they decided to mention that it's not coming to X360 like one week after release date. I took it back and got my refund despite it's opened.
That's what I thought. It's not that easy to get a guest character on bord though. Are there good chances that whoever owns Buffy is willing to licence her for Injustice 2?
She seems to be owned by 20th Century Fox...
Doesn't look like it. I also wouldn't be surprised if the next one talks about the mobile game, since that one releases next week.

Capcom sucks at communicating they always wait until the last week of the month to show the DLC or say anything and that's if they don't delay it for another month.
On Reddit Tyler Lansdown hinted at a stream later this week:
https://www.reddit.com/r/INJUSTICE/comments/68vp82/no_watchtower_this_week/
She's owned by Warner Bros. Fox has the rights to the show.
Oh nice!

Tyler said on Twitter there won't be a stream today but he should have info soon today hopefully.

Huh, it seems that one of her plants leaves some sort of hormone when she strikes her opponent, which is definitely better.

Sweet, ty.
she needed it- before it looked weird to me.
Speaking of Ivy, I would have designed her totally different. Her trait is good and some of her abilities are nice but something's off for me.
Yes. After that poll, I NEEEED Buffy.

Buffy would be the main character of the NRS horror movie fighting game. That Ash Williams team up

Yay we can watch more people scream over the intros not show off gear and button mash! WOOHOO!
seriously...i thought kitana prime and Michelangelo were doing a demonstration exhibition of the game. Did i miss that?
its also strange that no Competent player got invited to demo the game over the past weekend. Just random youtuber it seems...

Of the footage I've seen from that press stream last week, JaeRoar has the best footage he's the only one I've seen that doesn't talk over all the intros and actually seems good at the game. Here's a link to one of his videos that shows off Black Adam and Green Arrow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAQJJBBpHBY

You could always contact DC All Access and offer to do a small 101 or tutorial mini-series. Maybe do a small showcase with some other players?
Worst comes to worst, you can always do reactions to trailers.

I'm sure there's tons out there that could do that, though I should tell Vman he has a huge presence and does combo videos so that might actually fly.

You know, I'm hoping NRS does what Guerrilla did with Horizon and tweets out some fun fact after the launch like how many times Brainiac has been defeated in the story or how much gear has been gotten in the first week.
What did she do before?
By the way, I thought they claimed, that Ivy isn't actually hitting the Opponent, but the plants are. Here it is clearly her, also her hand seems to discharge the violet pollen(?), which is weird.
one of my biggest pet peeves is seeing a reaction video from someone that doesn't even follow that "scene" and to over compensate they give some dramatic fake reaction.You could always contact DC All Access and offer to do a small 101 or tutorial mini-series.

To me its nice to see an actual fan of the viewed subject react to it. The reaction is more authentic and genuine.
