Injustice 2 - Fighter Pack 2 Reveal Trailer

Shig

Strap on your hooker ...
The fuck is up with Hellboy's giant cigarette?

Have NRS's modelers never seen a cigar before?

The fact they apparently didn't see fit to bring in Ron Pearlman for the voice of Hellboy is a disaster of biblical proportions.

Also, the fuck with all these Mortal Kombat characters?

MK Characters are so crap, why in a game of super heroes would you rather play as a crappy looking raiden
 
Aw yes, Hellboy!

They managed to give Manta his huge helmet without looking excessively silly.

WTF is Raiden wearing on his face. He looks like he's cosplaying as a superhero.



August 27th is a Sunday too, so it's probably a typo.
Jim Lee designs all the hero costumes for MK guest characters since the first Injustice.
 
YOOOOOOOO Hellboy!!

Excited for Black Manta too. Annoyed that Raiden made it in. We really didn't need to MK characters. Should have been Black Lightning.
 
Excited to try out Hellboy. Black Manta looks cool and Raiden is okay but he will probably sell the best out of these 3 or Hellboy.

Shame DC doesn't have any other lightning characters they could have used, so we had to get Raiden....

Happy for the other two though.
 
Happy with how this roster is filling out too. It was already better than the first Injustice, but now it's on a whole other level. Glad I decided to pick up the Ultimate Edition.

This guest character shit has been corny since MK9

I agree. Apparently it makes bank, though. Still, such a waste of character spots for fans. I was burned hard with MKX because of that.

The reason for MK/guest characters is because they sell. Freddy was the number one single dlc for mk9 and scorpion was the number one single dlc for IGAU. That said this pack is uber frustrating since we get one actual DC character.

Also, the cgi stuff at times isn't done by NRS. The MKX reveal trailer was done by an external studio so who knows if it'll be one for one accurate with the game's look in regards to Hellboy's cigar and raidens overall ass look. Might look better in-game.

I'm really wondering if the MK characters will be top DLC sellers this time, with such other highly requested characters like Red Hood and Starfire.

Injustice 1's DLC picks for their DC characters didn't really thrill people all that much, iirc. Maybe that was partly why Scorpion did best in that DLC.

I'm hoping the MK characters sell worst out of this game, because they are completely unnecessary having countless other games. At least the movie characters in MKX had some novelty being characters never to appear in fighter before.
 

Marvel

could never
So an MK guest each pack perhaps? MK is my lifeblood and even I don"t want that.

Hellboy tho, yoooo. Cannot wait to try him. Don't know anything about Manta.

Lobo was highly requested by a small amount of people to the point where I know a guy that said he would buy the game the second Lobo was in it. Zatanna and Manhunter were HIGHLY requested.

I wonder how people calling Guests in MK and Injustice "a waste" feel about Akuma and Geese in Tekken

How many "good" people are tekken 7 missing? Lei is the main one I know. MKX was missing about 8 or so that people wanted and DC has dozens of characters to pull from. It's upsetting.

"Good" is debatable. I would take Zafina over any guest for example. Lei as well obviously.

Akuma and Geese are major bosses from rival fighting game series/publishers, and something like that years ago could only be dreamed of. Getting Heihachi, Akuma, and Geese together in one game is pretty special. I'm OK with that.

Special superhero crossovers have always been a thing in comics, so other comic character guests seem fitting to me.

MK and DC already had a crossover game with both of these characters in it, so it feels redundant/unnecessary.

Just for the record, I thought Yoda and Vader in Soul Calibur were awful, but Link and Ezio fit OK for thematic reasons.

There is no chance in... hell that Raiden outsells Hellboy.

Anymore MK guests in any Injustice game is (even more) completely unnecessary from here on. All the biggest heavy hitters have basically been done. We gonna get Reptile next?

Not really. There's plenty of great DC characters that didn't make the cut.



Acceptable, since they're prototypes for the eventual Tekken x SF.

Well If they didn't shove Sub Zero in that as well, we would've gotten a cool guest character in hellboy, and two more regular DC characters. I'm not salty about Hellboy, I'm salty that we have two wasted spots, and essentially a third considering how nothing of a character Joker is in the game

It's interesting that Hellboy's model doesn't match up to any of the silhouettes. I'm guessing the "Azrael" silhouette is meant to be Hellboy, but it has a hood, shoulder armor, and two big fists (instead of one).

Okay, Lei and Zafina. Anyone else? MK was missing Fujin, Rain, Sindel, Baraka, Nightwolf (all of which in character models in story mode), Shang Tsung, Kabal, Noob Saibot. Not to mention a newcomer like Skarlet that could use some more fleshing out.


DC list is even bigger starting.


Edit: Right, Julia. People liked Jun too so maybe her.

Boo, Raiden, yay Hellboy. If there had to be another guest character, I'm glad it's him and not someone else. He looks awesome. Shame his animations will look wack, though, so it's kind of a waste.

Black Manta is cool, but having just one DC character in this pack is ridiculous.

Tekken has a bigger roster and fewer guest characters, and those guests are less likely to push out veteran characters. We also don't know what Tekken's DLC plan is outside of guest characters. IJ2 meanwhile, as far as we know, there's only nine DLC characters, which might be it (since MKX had eight), so the more guests, the fewer DC newcomers. This DLC pack also just has a single DC character, which looks bad for those wanting DLC characters.
