Injustice 2

[XZero264]

Someone at WB was a little too eager. Trailer hasn't been shown at Combo Breaker yet for reference.

Red Hood got his own DLC trailer:

Character looks fun but his default look is imo so unremarkable and boring... :/ I really hope there is also something cool among his gear closer to his Arkham Knight stuff:

Edit:
Wow, ninja'd. O:

 

[Awesmic]

Aw shit son! Erron Black's the Red Hood!!!11!!

 

[Tyaren]

Wonder Woman Event is live in multiverse!

The gear looks so good!

I haven't been keeping on entirely on the game but I'm excited to see that Starfire is a playable character in it! She's dlc right? I'm guessing she hasn't been released yet. I've seen images of her and I really hope she gets her outfit from Teen Titans.

Also just based off the way the dlc worked in MKX I'm guessing that they will bring the characters out in sets of 4.

Here's the announcement trailer with Starfire in it:

Each character will cost 5.99$/€ and they will be released one at a time. Probably one each month. Red Hood is the first.
Regarding her costume: Since there is the gear system in Injustice 2 you will be able to create the costume for her that you like best.

Too bad you can't use any sort of visual customization at all in tournament mode, not even premium shaders, so no Power Girl, Reverse Flash, etc. when you'replaying competitively.

On a related note. The combo system flows the opposite of DOA in that the grounded strings are guaranteed, but the inevitable juggles through ground or wall bounce can be escaped through MB air teching.

Wait a sec, isn't tournament mode there to keep your customized character's look but disabling all the gear's stat boosts and abilities to make it a fair match?

Just missing the tiara and shield for a full movie set for WW. I like that they made this type of event, it even made me have to learn a new character. Been only using Black Canary so far.

To a degree. There is an outfit randomizer you can turn on.

Well I mean that's what Red Hood normally LOOKS like.

So I'm giving props for NRS actually having a character look right, which is a rarity for injustice.

On the other hand, I did like how AK gave him an actual HOOD so the name still made sense lol.

No, tournament mode defaults to the regular, non customized look.

If you want to use a customized look but without the stats, you'll have to go play regular versus, and then set it to "competitive mode".

It's made me learn that she's kinda ass. No low strings, her only overhead doesn't lead to any sort of damage. Her zoning gets beat out by characters with longer range. The only thing she has is somewhat decent normals and good damage.

Wow, Injustice is overall the (by far) best rated fighter this generation. O:

1. Injustice 2: 88 on Metacritic
2. Guilty Gear Xrd: 86 on Metacritic
3. Skull Girls: 82 on Metacritic
4. Blazblue Chrono Phantasma: 80 on Metacritic
5. Tekken 7: 81 on Metacritic
6. King of Fighters XIV: 79 on Metacric
7. Street Fighter V: 77 on Metacritic
8. Killer Instinct: 73 on Metacritic

And Killer Instinct the worst. Heard it has quite the devoted fan base though. And Microsoft is still supporting it.
Tekken 7 is kinda disappointing too...

Not surprised KI is in last place. Wasn't it like it had single digit characters at launch then they released season passes for the rest? I like it's artstyle though but I don't like doing that with characters from the get go. Good that it has it's fans though.

After the fan backlash of a helmetless Mr. Freeze the new Inhustice 2 update adds a helmet to his character model:

Before:

Also bad news regarding motherboxes. Bronze boxes now cost 5000 credits instead of just 1000. That will make collecting gear way more difficult and tedious. Sucks for people just jumping into the game now. :/

 

[Kodachi]

This game is hella successful, It sucks that games like DOA have to whore out mediocre DLC every month just to support production fees I really hope that DOA6 is one of the top fighters of the year </3

 

[XZero264]

Coming in July.

 

[ShinobiGuy]

I really hate the design of the MK characters in Injustice. Also Scorpion in the first one was horrible.

Injustice 2:

Real:

 

[LarsMasters]

I hope there's a gear variation on including his iconic scar-face & unmasked, not to mentioned beard too

Leaked Sub-Zero armor designs and shaders:

Sub-Zero normally does look very different, doesn't he? I'm no MK expert though. @Jadeinchains
