Injustice 2 Roster Discussion & Speculation Thread

This beta thing is lame , with its white list factor and giving out like 50 codes to single people that either stream or have some fgc presence. There should have been disclaimer on site to say that people that we favor will be the majority and people who signed up would be a very low percentage like 1% and don't get your hopes up..

Well its not like I wanted to play it or anything.
 
I honestly hope that they're wiling to do a gender change premium skin because then the floodgates just open and they'll have so many possibilities to choose from.

Wouldn't some characters look silly , unless they change the stances and how they walk somehow?

If they tried to have male character off of poison ivy or like harley quinn , don't think it would work out.

Batwoman, Bleez, Jesse Quick and Superwoman come to mind. I guess it depends on how much work NRS are prepared to put into Premier skins. Atrocitus would need to be completely reworked to translate Bleez effectively.
 
I'm assuming some characters will have a change of gender. If Poison Ivy is her own character, I can't believe they'd use another space for Swampy.

I don't buy Poison Ivy and Swamp Thing sharing a spot on the roster. If translated well, their move lists and play styles should be considerably different.

Yeah I'm happy about it too. Slaythe, Ryce and 2n2 appear to all be in. I was actually offering to buy a bundle of codes from that dude that sold me mine on Reddit so I could do another giveaway haha.

Yeah, I got lucky. I would be bummed to have missed out, but not enough to pay for one. I'd rather save it to buy the Ultimate. I don't really want to encourage scalpers.

I'm waiting for Sony to run their usual February spend 100/get15 to preorder on PS4 as I want it digital. I'm hoping to put much more time learning it this time since the netcode is seemingly much better. I mostly just dabbled in single player with the first and never really got the mechanics down.

I didn't get much time to try the beta yet, but I already love being able to customize your costumes. That alone is gonna get me hooked.

Hey 2n2, what's your PSN ID? I want to add you.

I want the digital version as well, but it's $149 AUD on the PSN store, whereas the physical version is $139. $10 isn't a big difference for convenience, but it adds up. Thinking about it now, the GAF community is likely going to be predominantly US based, so maybe I'm better off buying the US version if multiplayer is region locked again.
 
Oh man I can already tell unlocking those shaders is going to kill my ass. Good thing they didn't do it like Capcom and gate the colors behind a shitty mode.
 
You can buy the colours with FM now. Any premium costumes/characters purchased with real money also have all colours unlocked.

Yeah I got all the Alex colors that way but only his cause I need my fight money for free DLC. I got a refund on season 2 when it ended up looking like the leak was true.

Oh my god I figured out what was so bad.

Release Check is on by default.

D:

I can finally combo again !

bonus Superman screenshot that I really love. Perfect frame.

Netherrealm sure came a long way with faces.

They just need to fix the lightning during winposes and super attacks trigger.

The beta is an older build, right? So maybe the lighting has already been fixed. Great screen cap. I played a few rounds of the first Injustice this evening and it's amazing how different the game feels and looks.

It's not about a willingness or not.
A Swamp Thing skin for Ivy would have jump kick's passing right through Swampie's giant head because he's 4 feet taller than her, and if you change the hitboxes then it's a different character

I'm developing a hatred for Black Canary.

This chick is EVERYWHERE, 80% of the players I'm coming across are using her. And some people are insanely good with her already, no idea how you get to that level without a practice mode.

I'm more annoyed at Batmen.

they don't know what to do with him so they keep doing shitty grapple into stage transition.

Gets old fast.

Also regarding Black C.

I thought she was gonna be lame and bland as fuck.

But they made her acrobatics and "plane" powers super super fun and it looks great. Better than in the trailer.

That trailer was really bad.
It made her look like garbage compared to what she can actually do.
And two of the specials they highlighted in it are gear abilities she doesn't even have.
 
The Black Canary reveal trailer definitely undersold her potential. It's no wonder so many are playing her. Though there are only six characters available to choose from.

Yeah, I wish that wasn't locked to an ability, though maybe it's overpowered or something. There are a bunch of gear-specific moves that should be part of the default move sets.

Haha someone used that on me and I almost threw my controller through the wall. As for the black canary thing, people were doing the same with Beetle because he was new. Soon as Grodd or someone else gets put in, everyone will flock there, too. I had time to practice with canary last night and for whatever reason, her ass gets owned by Atrocitus easy. Life steal and the good keep away with Dex.

I swear it's been forever and a day since I've unlocked a shader for ANYONE. Same goes for new abilities, too. I think they need to up the drop rate. I'm getting Destiny Forever 29 flashbacks lol.

I kinda wish Meteor Drop (Superman's Super Move setup ability) was its own special. He could use a new move that showcases his strength and speed.
