Injustice 2 Roster Discussion & Speculation Thread

The biggest problem about Tyler posting codes like that publicly is that bots will pick those up immediately. Chances of getting one are slim to none. I think I might go with my idea of contacting Tyler and seeing if he'd be willing to do a drop or giveaway for GAF. He's dropped codes on the Reddit forums, WB forums and given out some to TYM for a giveaway. He's yet to do it on GAF which has an insanely large user base, so more promotion for them lol.

Yeah, but only in this thread :)

Hahaha, that would be ideal :). That's a good idea, Newman. I don't have Twitter but I might need one now lol. I thought about DMing him through his Reddit or WB forums but I'm sure he's spammed so much with requests that he doesn't check it. Twitter might actually be best.
 
I don't mind Injustice 2's more realistic art direction, but I wish the costumes themselves were a little more basic and closer to the comics. Atrocitus is definitely the worst offender -- he barely resembles the character. He's not supposed to look like a walking volcano.

Likewise. I'm hoping there are some more classic options hiding in the game somewhere.
 
I saw in one thread they got a bunch of people to Tweet Ebay and Ebay actually responded and helped the guy. So if someone could make the template we could all tweet him on Monday.
 
I just hope the full screen zoning isn't as powerful as it was in injustice. INSTANTANEOUS full screen zoning too!

Wonder why they make dodging projectiles so hard? Same with MK


Question for those who played the beta. Is the walk speed improved and it useless anymore?

I think that's a good idea. It's absolutely worth a shot I say. Now just trying to think of how to word it haha.

Well, there is a new dodge mechanic. I believe it's dash dash meter burn but not positive. Basically it's a roll kind of like KOF at the cost of meter. So if someone is trying to spam you there's a moment to roll through and counter. There are some MK players that love zoning but would never admit it's spamming lol.

Oh that's pretty cool.

I also hope they g the route of SF and prevent killing an opponent with chip damage
 
So my fiancee felt bad for me and bought me a beta code off Reddit for my birthday for 15 bucks. There is shame in my heart :(. We were wary of the guy because his name is codeview and said he had multiples but Lo and behold he was legit and it's installing now! Regardless, I want to still contact Tyler for a GAF drop. If I happen to get codes in my 3 emails within the next few days they are going straight to you guys in this thread :).
 
It's all good we all get to play eventually you on PS4? If I don't get a code next wave I'm considering buying one only reason I haven't is my girlfriend is up my ass about buying the 100 dollar version.

Patience man, it's just a beta lol. No need to spend money on something like this.
 
That's a good point just bored I've been playing Street Fighter 5 to pass time. Since this is a roster thread what characters are you guys most excited for? I'm dying to see Captain Cold.

Damn, I would've given you mine for your bday.

Captain cold should've been revealed in a gameplay trailer 5 months ago and flash still hasn't been shown. They had a perfect opportunity Tuesday with flash premiering the same day as their stream but nooooooope, Robin gameplay. Ugh.

I'm really excited to see Poison Ivy. She'll most likely be a zoner and that's right up my alley. Mainly excited to see who the rest of the cast are but she's the only one that's really looking good to me personally.
 
Been playing alot of the beta. Supergirl is insane! I just wish there were other more interesting characters in right now, I really wanna try Robin.
 
I dunno what they are saving these premiers for maybe to line up with the Flash and Legends of Tomorrow season finales. If poison Ivy does dots I'll die inside FANG is so frustrating to fight in SF5.

My avatar should give you an indication how I feel about that ;)

Though I don't think she will, she'll probably have vines that come out from the ground and nothing in her design kinda gives off a poison vibe so I doubt they'll go for that.
 
Can I take this time to reiterate how salty I am that bane made it in again?

I just hope he has some sick gear and they improved his gameplay.

Yeah, I was a never a fan of NRS armoring up DC characters in their games so I really hope there are gear of the normal costumes people recognize the characters for.

I was talking with Honeybee about it earlier, he feels it's gonna be a big change since there seems to be less 50/50s with low/overhead starters and less armor. I think it's gonna be mostly the same, Flash is gonna change big tho.
 
This is merely an observation, but if the leak is legitimate then every single villain (including premier skins) appears in that DC super-villains poster from a few years ago. It's essentially a gathering of the company's 30 most mainstream bad guys.

The villains side of the roster is always going to feel incomplete to me until Lex Luthor, Sinestro, Deathstroke, and Black Manta are playable.
 
If Red Hood doesn't make it as a character or a Robin skin then I feel like DCs wants to premier him first in the DCU last year they were courting the John Wick guys for a Red Hood movie. That's a two year old rumor but they set up for him in Batman VS Superman.
 
Damn, I would've given you mine for your bday.

Ah shit man :( Well thank you anyway though, that means a lot. I had absolutely no intention of buying it because I mean, it's a beta and hopefully eventually we will all get one but she insisted so it only took about 2 minutes to convince me to agree lol.

It's all good we all get to play eventually you on PS4? If I don't get a code next wave I'm considering buying one only reason I haven't is my girlfriend is up my ass about buying the 100 dollar version.

Like Luce said, I'd wait before spending any money because it is just a beta but then again I'm not one to talk lol. If you don't get one in the next wave and I do, I'll send mine to you ASAP.

EDIT: speaking of DOT and FANG, Atrocitus does dot with some vomit moves and it's ridiculous lol.

Thanks I appreciate that I used all my beta good luck getting into the first wave for Wrath of the Lich King back in the day lol.
 
Supergirl looks really fun to play going from the beta.

I am doing terrible with her lol. I only played with her for a few matches though. Superman's scoop juggle changing to a MB special is throwing me off.

Also, if you all get in the beta maybe we should exchange PSN names just in case we cross each other. Mine is SinkFla.

This is the first I'm hearing of this, and I'm chubbing up pretty hard.

If they're going for a Legion of Doom thing it's weird that Black Manta might not be playable.
 
Those are some pretty heavy margins, but with a proper matchmaking algorithm, things wouldn't typically be this unfair. I'd imagine most people playing with gear turned on will have equipped defensive gear, and not be taking 50%+ damage from every combo.

Being able to choose not to use any gear at all means that we will see a lot of "challenges" on YouTube showcasing players attempting to beat other players with maxed out gear while using no gear themselves. Think David vs. Goliath.
That sounds fun to watch. I'll be on the look out for some Twitch streamers that do this.
 
Is the beta build an old build ?

I remember they had fixed Supergirl and Superman's faces.

Yet they look like shit in this beta. I'm hoping they didn't revert them back instead :/ .
 
25, a friend of mine did 50. Combined we did 75 and only I got a code.

Also, don't like beta Supes.

Yikes. Hopefully you'll share the love if you start to get these in.

I hate the gets idea changing the characters stats. You know because gems worked so well for SFxT

I don't like it at all for multiplayer, especially equipping different move sets.

I think it's fun for single player modes if they're robust enough to be able to make use of them, but otherwise it's awkward going into a fight having no idea what kind of a setup someone has and what it's capable of.
 
It would be nice for The Flash, Green Lantern, and Supergirl to have custom abilities that go well with their premier skin personas, like how you can give Batman air batarangs or his old parry. For instance, Reverse-Flash could have a move where he vibrates his hand through the opponent.
