Injustice 2 |OT| Grodd's Among Us

Any combo videos for different characters? I feel like I've learned all I can with Darkseid and he is trash against faster characters especially like Black Adam. I need a new main.

We do indeed! it's in the top right corner of the Guild page.

A little eady to miss, only just noticed it myself lol.

I need glasses. Thanks for the heads up.

You got any tips for Darkseid. Pimp slaps and lasers are my favourite fighting style.
 
Well yes, that too.

Poor Cheetah, her playstyle really is quite unique. Those who enjoy rushdown character will probably like her style.

Where can I go to find out this secret? I'm trying to play it like SF. Never played MK much except like 25 years ago

Not sure how familiar you are with Ultradavid but made a short series explaining some differences between other fighting games and NRS games. Including how combos work in Injustice 2.

blackflag, this video kind of explains what I was talking about as far as how combos actually work in this game. If you're trying to play it like Street Fighter you might have some trouble. I'd say it's a completely different system, but I'm enjoying it immensely. I knew there was more to it than just normal & special moves. I knew there were combos that were simpler, yet trickier in its own way. The way I am looking at it is that combos are like their own special moves (I guess that's what people refer to as "strings"). So at first I was intimidated by the game a little and I wasn't sure of how to time things, but if you watch Ultra David's videos he explains it in a technical way. Some of the shit about linking I have trouble understanding, but besides that everything else made sense to me.

Like he said in the video, the real creativity in making combos will come from the juggles/bounces, etc. I'm slowly beginning to understand just how much cool shit can be done once you master the combos and incorporate all of these mechanics into your own play syle.

Why the hell do all the level 20 story epics have +xp on them

Am I missing something?

I thought profile, but if the level cap is raised then I guess for that too.
 
I really hope they patch in being able to "mark to sell" on the equip screen. Would make life so much easier. Or maybe favoriting gear would be helpful too.

Can I get a different Robin so I don't have to hear Damian's insufferable dialogue too?

Someone up high at NRS must be a huge Damian fanboy and someone who hates Dick Grayson for some reason, lol. Otherwise it makes no sense to me that they not just kill off most popular former Robin, Dick, in the first game, by Damian himself even, then let Damian take his role as Nightwing and in the second game let Damian play both Robin and Nightwing. It's just too much.
I want Dick Grayson! :( At this point I don't even care if as Robin, Nightwing or Agent 37, as a skin or full character. He is actually a charismatic, likable character without all the Damian cringe.

I can't believe I don't get a real Nightwing in this game. I know the reason why, but it is a stupid reason and I want my favorite (and the most fleshed out) Robin. I'd take any Robin really, just not this edge lord teen angst d-bag.

Also I'm the only one complaining but I don't like this Joker. I think the VA is fine and his character model is fine but his script feels like it lacks any semblance of personality. His humor isn't particularly special and he mostly comes across as a basic psychopath that's just kind of dressed up like a clown because it is kinda spooky or something. He doesn't even seem to find himself funny. Also I really wanted to main him because I have such a deep love for the character but landing a proper chain of combos is simply too difficult imo. It's satisfying when I succeed but based on my practice I seemed a lot better off moving on to other characters. That might just be a testament to my own lack of fighting game skill though, but it's what I found when I tried.

Literally exactly how I feel word for word. I love Dick Grayson. I like him better than I've ever liked Batman and he's only second to my personal obsession with the Joker.

Making teleports safe (or safer) work parademon assists is helpful and fun!
Blue Beetle ain't bad, I made a combo video if you're​ interested but don't wanna toot my own horn and spam the thread with self promotion too much haha. Should be on the last page or page before last. Flying is fun.

Forward 1,2 is a good combo starter and has good range and I think it's safe on block. Back 1,Up 3 is a good combo starter if you meter burn it or a ender if you don't. His jump 2 is infinitely better than his jump 1 and abuse his teleports. Also his down 1 seems like it can't be beat but be aware that up close all of his normals have horrible startup and more than likely you will be beat to the punch literally. Abuse the stomp it's godlike and people aren't ready for it.
 
Vixen is awesome. Haven't used her online yet though.
And what the hell with that sleep modifier? It cancelled out my supermove just as I launched it, lol.
 
I would love a Batman Returns cat woman premier skin

I really like what Rocksteady did with the skins in Arkham Knight, it was so cool seeing different era characters in modern graphics.

Cool I'm going to check it out once I get home. I was messing around with Bane but he seems to complicated for me at the moment.

Sometimes, Netherrealm understands DC more than DC does.
And Wonder Girl looked an awful lot like Carol Danvers, it took me a few seconds before I realized who it was.

Ah, that's amazing, thank you!

I've been practising that Back 1, Up 3 MB straight after Boom Tube, seems good. I've got the instant Air Omega Beams down too.

Thanks again.

Even if the Justice League movie sucks, at least Injustice gave us a fun, interactive story experience this year that really does understand its source material.
 
Got the game yesterday and it definitely lives up to the hype. I've never really played NRS fighting games beyond Injustice 1, so I don't know how the mk series is, but I've missed playing fighting games with meaty single player content.

Also, glad that Green Arrow plays identical to the first game. Meant I had a good starting point for getting into it. Really liking Scarecrow as well, though a little unsure what to do with his fully charged trait / power thing. Is it just damage or does it set something up?

Also, any Scarecrow advice in general would be appreciated.

I think the gear box system is fucked up.

I just opened 10 gold boxes and got one normal box and then got the three same boxes three times in a row. So I have three times the same gear items , with the exact same stats.

Are there any tricks to get more points in Multiverse? Kicking all the asses available, still only get bronze. Need to get Gold to finish this Earth.

No problem. Also on wake up I've found that his knee and palm specials are good to use. You can try the omega beams but if it gets blocked or ducked you're wide open. Also like I said earlier his normals don't work most of the time on wake up because they are so slow. Don't be afraid to abuse the omega beams ESPECIALLY the meter burn versions because you can control the directions. You can also do that with his supermove.

I'm in no way shape or form good at fighting games but Darkseid is simple enough that I can actually put up a fight against people. If you fight a rush down character though good luck lol.

GGs once you start confirming into the big damage you'll be good.

Can I just say fuck Black Adam as well there's no reason he should be doing that kind of damage.

Thanks, yo. Yeah, I'm not sure what's up with my timing. Missing juggles online that I rarely do in practice. Not sure if it's me or online; probably a bit of both.

lol. I want to learn Black Adam because I love him and he feels like he can do everything I want to do with Supergirl, but better, but I'm afraid of NRS patching. Think I'm going to ride it out with Supergirl for awhile while I learn the ropes and then move on to the other characters I'm interested in when the first round of nerfs comes out.

After how you held down the proverbial fort in the Roster Speculation thread?

You deserve it bruh.

Thanks Luce, I appreciate that! I needed the positive vibes after the week I've had so thank you lol.


Cool I'm going to check it out once I get home. I was messing around with Bane but he seems to complicated for me at the moment.

Bane is a ton of fun and I'd definitely give him a chance, too. D2 into DBF3 tick throw is pretty damaging, and D1 is a good low kick poke. You can combo that into is B2 elbow drop as well. Venom gives him armor on attacks which does wonders when people try to wake up or counter you. Use your venom levels to their full ability by spacing their usage out, extending the length by increasing the level as the previous level runs out. I have a bad habit of pressing it 3x for max damage, going HAM and then getting wrecked haha.
