Injustice Gods Among Us - Catwoman Reveal

Not liking the design, she looks like the Wicked Witch of the West in Injustice.

yea, not liking the new face
 
I hope they throw in a ton of extra costumes. I would really like to have the regular armor-less current comic costumes and older costumes, like 90s DC costumes.
 
Gaahh more Bat characters. Jokers undoubtedly going to be in and plus the possibility of Bane as well? I think Solomon Grundy and Harley Quin slots shouldve been given to someone else. Still pretty hype for this game though.
 
Catwoman's fine and there are already so many goddamn Batman characters in here. Expand into other parts of the DC Universe, please.
 
Makes sense she's here. She's a big character, a female, and Dark Knight Rises had her in the spotlight right now.

So her, Batman and... who else has been shown from Batman? Grundy? Maybe Joker? I'm not even a huge Batman guy and I'm fine with that as long as we see a superman baddie other than Luthor.

@_Aqualad_ There are a TON of characters outside of the Batman family coming to INJUSTICE. Just WAIT till you see how far out we venture!

I guess there just getting them out of the way? They should hold off on announcing the joker, or save him as DLC, he would be a perfect DLC character, would sell a shit ton too.
 
I hate the open cleavage and cat collar in Arkham City. Looks like it was designed by a horny teenager.

Have you played the last Mortal Kombat game? It's that for all the female characters.

I don't really like the Injustice designs because of all the armor, but it's nice to see they're relatively reserved this time.

maybe I'm too desperate because of all DC bullshit, but I'd be a-ok if Cassandra is a DLC character and I don't support DLC usually,but I just want my Blackbat.
 
Would of preferred Cassandra, but I think I will survive.
Lying to myself

Bane would be an interesting character if he had a technical fighting style, and then a bruiser fighting style in a venom mode.
 
I'm kinda shocked at how relatively small her boobs are. After MK9 and Harley's design, I'm kinda surprised that NetherRealm is able to model a female character who isn't spilling out of her top.
 
Isn't animation one of the things fans have always complained about with the MK series?

It does look stiff but I will most likely grow to like it.
 
I'd like to see them pick some deep cuts for the villains but I don't think it will happen. Lex, Sinestro, Darkseid, and more Bat rogues.

Though I imagine if they wanted to they could recycle a bunch of Catwoman's animations for Cheetah :D

They should, it should be her alt, cyrax style, outside of the whip, she is a perfect cheetah, she even fucking has a tail! I would play the shit out of cheetah.
 
This is fine by me. Catwoman looks pretty fun, and I want them to hurry and get this expected Batman stuff out the way (should just be Joker left) so we can get to the cool shit.
 
yeah, i know. but they've done a very poor job with the reveals so far. some variety would be nice.

It's also possible the other characters just aren't ready to be shown yet, the game is pretty early in development is it not?
 
I'm not sure what some of you are taking about, that's the most fluid I've seen a netherrealm character look, in terms of animation.

Still miles behind almost every other fighter out there, but there is defo improvement.

she actually looks fun to use, which is more than I can say for most of the characters shown so far.
 
well, Grundy's also pretty closely associated with Batman.

You can make an argument that hes associated with Superman as well. But hes not part of Batmans Rouges so hes not a "batman family" character.


So Batman/Catwoman/Nightwing/Harley/Joker/Bane. I dunno it's basically a Batman fighter but I'm okay with that.


Its to be expected. Bat is uber popular/movies ect


its like Xmen in MVC12 and Avengers in MVC3
 
I can't wait until this game gets its first teleporter in it. So far we got...

  • Batman-counter heavy, good at all ranges, zip lines, good normals, something for everyone
  • Superman-good damage, AA tools, looks to be a character with good throws from anywhere, OTG eye laser, well rounded dude with some nice damage
  • Wonder Woman-combos can start at full screen, good AA tiara, nice damage combos in sword stance up close. Overall, well rounded but I want to see more sword combos...she may have potential for some great resets for mad damage off that lasso trick from launchers
  • The Flash-dash character, fast combos, looks to have good priority and his gimmick should lead to big combos
  • Solomon Grundy-chain grappler, good AA, good damage, can buff self, armor?, poor options on getting in even though he has a long range low
  • Harley Quinn- I'm at a loss because no one plays her much. Seems to have various tools and can fire from a position on the ground, looks like her gimmick is one of 3 buffs and one I think heals her, im thinking she may be an all rounder with heavy mixup potential though with her tools. Cant' tell yet
  • Nightwing-huuuuuuuge combos, insane poke range, great AA fast projectile, gonna be great on jump in and on punishing jump ins, quick normals
  • Cyborg-power hitting zoner with the ability to create mixups, zipline mobility tools, looks like he may have some punishable normals on block so patient play but he will be a pain to get in on, can self heal but its too slow to use, likely the best zoner in the game and with his damage on combos you had better hope he scales or that gravity scaling is heavy to drop them out of stuff he starts...a long Cyborg combo would be terrifying
  • Cat Woman-fast normals, dash character, long combos, spacing tools with bazooka/whip, likely going to be great for cornering folks


What we got so far looks pretty good, but I can't wait to see the first teleporter's options in this game. God help us all if they get a slow projectile like Reptile's to setup teleport mixups. Strong rumor of Raven making it in right now so we may see some teleporters soon.

As is I'm pumped. Grundy looks so cool I want to play him even though he looks to be the roughest ride in the game to use with all these people having such good distance tools on him.
Here is how I see things so far

Best starting characters:
Cyborg-easy to overwhelm folks with that zoning and if you can start a combo with him its even scarier. Power zoning screams easiest damage to figure out for new players here
Nightwing- this guy is fast, generally has a tool to mess with any kind of approach on the ground or air that makes him hard to catch, and his combos go forever. His normals are great in both poke range on jumping staff/standing staff as well as speed with the sticks. I'm betting he will be the easiest guy for folks to start making longer combos with which is always a rewarding expereince that draws in players.

Most Irritating to fight:
Batman- Dude has counters, zoning, shields and ziplines on top of good normals and good well rounded combos. No where is safe against him and his ability to snuff projectiles with that shield move will frustrate people into either an AA move, zipline, counter, or raw punish so much that people will likely get frustrated trying to get a handle on the players using him that mixup their tactics.
Cyborg- that zoning runaway game of his with the ziplines, bombs, and projectiles is just screaming frustration.

Worst so far:
Solomon Grundy- guy looks great on damage and AA grabs into chain grabs that buff is something that makes me sooooo want to use him. However, this guy is gonna get zoned out hard. You're going to have to wade through a ton to corner them and then your normals suck. He's only got the throws...guy needs an armored dash up IMO or a full screen stun move to help him get in to be scary. We'll see if he gets a stun off of an EX swamp move or something later though...full screen low hitting stun would be nice.
 
Grundy is not a Batman villian. In fact he was originally a Green Lantern villain (Grundy was formed in a swamp and the original Green Lantern was week to wood).

Yeah, Grundy debuted as villain to the Alan Scott Golden Age Green Lantern.

Since Grundy was primarily a Batman and a Superman villain.

With the New 52 he's back to a Green Lantern villain.

However, in the game he's more like his Batman/Superman incarnation.
 
For a NRS game, there certainly is a disturbing lack of teleports.

I know...its hard to name very many cast in MK9 that DIDN'T have a teleport. It was there main mixup or way in for most dudes. There's also no one who can teleport someone else yet either like Smoke could do...I guess Batman/Wonder Woman's full screen grabs sort of cover that aspect though since its a tool thats long range that can change your screen position and all that though.

Still...no teleporters yet? Thats just plain odd. I get that the source material is extremely limiting on its options for well known teleporters, but you could always resort to dash through moves that put you behind people like rolls, or straight up Zero/Wolverine style stuff ala MVC3.

Only big name teleporters that come to mind are Zatanna, Raven, Cyborg new 52(who doesn't use one in this game), Mirror Master, Cerce, and maybe a couple of others. Lex might "tech" one up once he shows up
Has to be in it...they screwed up and left him in the first trailer vs Superman
.

This is definitely going to have a different meta structure than MK9 on that account alone. You want in on someone in I:GAU you got to earn it. Zoning is looking to be especially good in this game due to this fact. Projectiles had better not induce much blockstun otherwise dashups can't even get past them if they put the zoner at a frame advantage against a potential dashup after block. Too few startup frames on good blockstun inducing projectiles means infuriatingly harsh zoning that you won't get through easily.
 
So Batman/Catwoman/Nightwing/Harley/Joker/Bane. I dunno it's basically a Batman fighter but I'm okay with that.

Where is Bane?
Joker is pretty much a given cuz one of the stages shows off his redesign for this Universe.

Can we get Black Canary

also Power Girl

Wouldnt powergirl play exactly like Superman?
Atleast New 52 SuperGirl is "crazy" so she would be interesting.
