Some stuff added to the SRK article.

What is being done to prevent infinites?

The hot fix patching system is much improved, allowing us to tweak many parameters that were not possible before.

Are there limits on combo ability – juggle or string limits?

The only limits in place are that most specials have a unique ID. If the same special is done again in the same combo, it will have different properties. For example, some cannot be meter burned again if already done once in a combo. Others might have a different reaction or have no hit box. Inside of juggles, characters get heavier and heavier with each hit, which also naturally limits combos.

Will there be button shortcuts?

For those playing on an 5-6 button arcade stick there are shortcuts you can take advantage of. For example 1+2 = interact with background objects, 2+4+6 = supermove, and 1+3 = throw. So if someone wants to, they can play using a PDP Injustice: Gods Among Us Battle Edition stick, Mortal Kombat Tournament stick, or any custom made traditional 6 button layout and won’t have problems.

What are the different properties for hit states?

There are some, like throws, that are inescapable when you throw someone out of a disabled state (like in active recovery frames after a missed attack). Several characters power abilities will affect hit states as well. For example Superman ignores armor when his power is active. Bane adds armor (and projectile invulnerability) to some of his attacks depending on his current venom level. Wonder Woman takes less chip damage when she is in sword and shield stance.

So, MK9 came out April 19, 2011, and Injustice comes out April 16, 2013.

The demo for MK came out on March 8, 2011 (PS+).

I doubt they will do a demo at this point. People are hyped as it is so the only thing the demo could lead to is turning some sure-purchases into non-purchases. Plus I am sure they want to avoid leaks via data mining.

We already know the full roster. Cant protect leaks from stuff thats already leaked tbh. Bring on the demo.
 
They might also want to avoid releasing a super busted version of the game, the MK9 demo was hilariously broken, might as well have been a different game then what we got.

Still fun to go back to that demo and do some of those combos.

Do we? Because I really don't think we do. The only for certain character we now about now is Ares. There are at least 5 others who may or may not be there as well.

Oh yeah~!

After the way the MK9 demo was data-mined such that not only characters, but the entire STORY SCRIPT was leaked? I highly doubt that NRS will ever put out a demo for one of their fighters ever again.

That would be the smart thing to do.

You want Batman? Pay up.

Lol,
though at the same time maybe a random person thats just messing around on the demo tries someone like Batman and suddenly goes 'WOW this is awesome I need it now!"
With the B team characters i'd be more tempted to rent it to try Batman, Nightwing,etc.
Luckily I'm a huge DC fan so I already have it preordered.

The Injustice tie-in comic has probably the worst Wonder Woman I've ever seen. She's just an all around awful person.
Click to expand...

I expect her to amount to nothing more then Supermans dragon, and be a dick all through out the story, until someone finally beats the crap out of her.

Superman will probably be redeemed, and they will just ignore WW, so she will just come off as an asshole.

I assume all this because its Wonder Woman, and I doubt they have any idea what to do with her.

Not as bad as Flashpoint Diana.

There's worse?!

This actually makes me want to read Flashpoint.

She either ends up dead or, like you said, just ignored.

They knew what they wanted to do with Wondy. Every time Lois dies and/or Supes goes crazy, Diana is right there to hop on his dick in these stories. lol

5? Based on the leaked character select screen theres 24 characters and the only one we dont know for certain is killer frost
 
TDLink said:
Provided it isn't an error, these impressions confirm there will be 20 stages, which is up from the previously known number of 15...and it means there are quite a few more we haven't seen.

Also, Black Adam's win pose sounds awesome.

"Vingtaine" apparently means "around twenty," which could very well just be fifteen. These are offhand impressions and I doubt he remembers the exact number.

We know there are at least 24 characters. We know 22 are officially confirmed. Ares is likely also playable, so we basically know 23. We know for a fact there is a mystery woman...who could be Killer Frost or Circe or someone else, that would be 24. Beyond that we have also gotten varying levels of hints/teases/evidence of Captain Cold, Martian Manhunter, and Damian Wayne (Robin). So my "5 who may or may not be there" are:

Killer Frost
Circe
Martian Manhunter
Damian Wayne
Captain Cold

Now, I don't expect all 5 of those to be in the game but I wouldn't be surprised at all to see at least 2 or maybe 3 of them. I also wouldn't be surprised to see others beyond those 5 who we have really gotten 0 hints towards at all. I am still pretty confident in my guess that the base game will have more than 24 characters though. We know for a fact that screen is from the demo build all these articles today were based on, which means it was still non-final.

I see a big difference between 15 and 20, but perhaps you are right. All the stages are incredibly well done though and I welcome any more that are added to the game. I honestly would pay for stage DLC for this game. Either way there are still some stages left to see for us.
 
Some more evidence pointing towards a 24 character roster.

There will be a total of 240 missions for the base game. 10 missions per character corresponding to an arc of a story.

:(

EDIT: That same article identifies all fifteen stages: Batcave, Gotham City, Themyscira, Arkham Asylum, Joker Asylum, Insurgency, Metropolis, Stryker's Island, Hall of Justice, Atlantis, Fortress of Solitude, Ferris Aircraft, Watchtower, Wayne Manor, and Wayne Manor (night).

So how many roster spots are there left with ACTUAL confirmed characters.
 
Ryce said:
A ton of character impressions. It'd be great if someone who actually speaks French could provide a better translation.

I had a few minutes, so here's what that article had to say about the Joker:


-Joker does a lot of damage, but hard to get used to. His combos seem to rely on bombs as starters, which he shoots with his magnum.
-The gag teeth can be thrown at different distances, and launch on hit.
-Joker can reset combos with his acid (author says it can be avoided midscreen, which is puzzling, since it's a reset. it's bound to be blocked if your opponent sees it coming. maybe he meant the acid whiffs midscreen if you try to reset combos with it).
-The author also says he couldnt' find big combos with Joker, due to lack of time with the game.
-His main weakness would be the slow startup of his bomb setups, but he also says the gun attacks are fast.
-He has an interesting anti air (d2) that can be followed up by b3 for a wall hit and a combo.
-Joker has no double jump.


EDIT: Black Adam

-He has hair and his traditional outfit.
-very badass character. His win pose is cool, he steps on his opponent while taunting him, raises his hand and a lightning strikes comes down.
-He can summon black clouds during the match to send lightning bolts towards the opponent. He has very quick air dashes and a double jump.
-The author says he clearly is an aerial combatant. He compares his air game to Captain Marvel in MKDC. He has a lightning move like MKDC Captain Marvel that enables follow-ups if the opponent is airborne, a bit like Rain's lightning.
-He has a fast dive kick
-He has an electric ''wave'' move that resembles the psycho crusher.


EDIT 2: I just checked the google translation, and it's not that bad. Except that Black Adam doesn't actually fuck the guy's mouth in his win pose.
