Injustice 2 Roster Discussion & Speculation Thread

I think there are a few possibilities where you can avoid the hitbox issues. Batwoman could still POSSIBLY stand in for Batman. Jessica Cruz could still possibly stand in for Hal Jordan.

But yeah, a lot of them just won't work.

Also it seems some of the funny mirror match dialogue is back :D

Superman 1: "Tell me something only I would know."

Superman 2: "
Two words. Beef bourguignon. "

Superman 1:
"..... That's impossible."

Gonna have to go with US version despite being EU.

I know the game isn't region locked but I hope the matchmaking isn't either and filters who is closer to you and doesn't look for your game's region.

Do you know how it works on the region free versions of NRS games ? (pc / xbox )

The matchmaking is region free this time. Previously NRS games were region locked in online game modes.

Yes yes, but I'm asking how it finds opponents.

Does it target people close to you based off your connection, or does it put you in a pool through the game's region ?

Region free means you can invite friends from any version, but that doesn't tell me what ranked is gonna default too.

Many games that are "region free" lock the matchmaking through "game region" which is dumb, instead of connection based.

And can you search for people "4 bars, 3 bars" etc... or it's "same region" in the options ?

Once again, many games have the terrible idea to use the "same region" feature instead of bars which means if you don't have the game version where you live, you're basically screwed.
 
From my time with MKX, I believe it's connection based. I live in Pakistan and got matched up with people from a variety of places but the shorter the wait-queue, the better the connection.

The most recent game that uses region filtering was KoF XIV and as a result, finding a match was always next to impossible even when you take into account the smaller playerbase.

Region filtering is becoming an outdated concept, it's rare to find games that do that now. Some still do granted, but most have moved past it.
 
Gonna main

And maybe Robin if I like his gameplay.

Hoping for Constantine DLC :) . (And I want a black hair shader :p )

Still secretly praying for Buffy DLC tbh. Especially for the 20 years of the show, it's fitting. (god I'm getting old)

Black Canary is pretty cool too, I'd like to learn her.
 
So who are we all planning to main?

Joker for me.
Scarecrow's a lock.

I'm gonna try my best to keep either Poison Ivy or Black Canary as a secondary.

Will also play Vixen if she shows up.

EDIT: Might play Green Lantern exclusively in unranked mode. I would LOVE to play as Blue Lantern Hal.
 
Green Lantern and maybe Dr. Fate if he plays similarly to
Sinestro. Of course, I'm not going to hop online until I've finished all paths of the story mode and arcade endings for every character.

Joker for me.

Not sure yet. While I dig the roster and think it's really strong, and way better than the first one, there're no characters I'm a major fan of that I'm head over heels for. I'll give Swamp Thing, Scarecrow, Grodd, Doctor Fate, Blue Beetle, Captain Cold, Atrocitus, Poison Ivy and Brainiac a try, and try and figure out which one I like the most.
 
Brainiac is my projected #1, but I'm also digging all of these:

Swamp Thing
Scarecrow
Black Canary
Dr. Fate
Catwoman
Captain Cold
Green Lantern
Flash
Darkseid
Aquaman

That's just first guess too. Safe to say I'm loving the new roster. There aren't many I have zero interest in unlike the last game. Even some characters I never touched in I1 I'm interested to try this time because they look so much better visually.
 
Same for me with the exception of maybe Deadshot. He's just too much of a keep away character by the looks of it.

Yeah, Deadshot just seems kind of bland to me... Same goes for Cheetah and Cyborg. However, Cyborg's new trait is interesting to me as it opens up for more combo potential. I'm curious to try him out. Robin and CC are definitely day one characters for me.

I totally forgot about Cyborg. That's how much I care about Cyborg.

And I need to see Starfire and her gear options for research purposes.

I dunno, I haven't seen a Starfire costume that's not total shit.

Haha yeah. And I should add that if I do play as Cyborg then I will be exclusively playing with the Grid skin only lol. I want full on robot madness. I just don't understand why they didn't totally revamp him, he definitely needed an overhaul. I think his grapple should have been a standard command rather than super jump motions, and cause a hit on contact like Spencer from MVC lol.
 
Hey, capten marvel (shazam) got to be in this now when black adam is? Or what do you think? I don't know if he is a popular character in this context?
 
I feel like this fits Reverse-Flash more than Flash, but it's so awesome regardless: http://i.imgur.com/c8lxjTJ.gifv

Shazam and Black Adam were both in Injustice 1.

For whatever reason, they brought back Black Adam but not Shazam. It's possible Shazam might be a premium skin for Black Adam but don't expect anything more than that.
 
Characters I will main: Superman, Captain Cold, Gorilla Grodd, Black Canary.

Characters I will dabble with: Supergirl, Brainiac, Swamp Thing, Blue Beetle.
 
Now that Killer Frost is out...NRS can reuse her moves.

Poison Ivy has killer frost's slide as gear move. She hits the opponent low and pops up for extra combo potential.
 
Black Adam came back because he was a lot more popular then Shazam in Injustice 1.

It probably didn't help that Shazam sucked and his main strat was throwing TV's.

Bahahaha. I wish there was an achievement for killing your opponent with a TV while using the Shazam premiere skin.
