Injustice 2 Roster Discussion & Speculation Thread

Hahaha. That's okay, man. I don't think there has been a new post about abilities and/or gear since mine.

I finally got around to updating it with 2 more Superman Armor sets. I got 3 new abilities in a row playing against someone with Superman, but the RNG drought continued afterwards :(.

That's lucky man. I'm worried I might use up my luck playing the beta and then find only trash in the retail version. I still haven't found a shader yet though.
 
A trailer for Swamp Thing's valentine, please.

The shippers would kill Boon. :P

Btw, a few Ground Zero panels people might find funny:

I FINALLY unlocked a shader just now, so don't feel too bad! Not sure if matters but my blue beetle is level 16, finally got the gold armor shader. I was playing against Batman and holy shit that parry reversals everything :(.

The white gold shader? I saw it on YouTube last night; it looks sick. Batman's parry is an incredibly effective reversal, but it's not so fun when you're on the receiving end.

Yeah that's the one. It's called "galactic midnight" I believe. He was parrying my shield bash, my d3 sweeps, etc. I was too tired to effectively analyze the situation and was quickly destroyed haha. I'm hoping we get the trailer through Ed Boon instead of IGN because if in that case we might get it in 3 hours!
 
I'm expecting 3 females for DLC. It makes the roster 1/4 female as per NRS' usual. I'm guessing Starfire will be first to give us four heroes and four villains. And after that we'll get a non-white character, either Katana or Vixen. And the female villain is up in the air to me. Queen Bee? Circe? Terra? Enchantress?
 
It is strange that Ivy has been announced but not revealed. Her femme fatale status lends itself well to a Valentine's Day reveal. Maybe it's time for us to see her in action.

Hardly see what's strange.

They have several characters that have yet to be seen in gameplay and are even on the website roster.

She's a newcomer though. The newcomers have been revealed with gameplay footage in various trailers. Yes there are other characters on the website, including Bane, who haven't been seen, but Bane and the other characters are returning veterans. We already have some idea of their move list, but we know nothing about Ivy's abilities or play style.

Do you know anything about Flash's abilities or playstyle ? :p
 
Supergirl looks mostly fine but there's something off in some instances.

Black Canary looks great all around. Hopefully they give the first characters a slight fix before the game is out.
 
As far as Valentine's Day reveals, I'm gonna guess either...
  • Green Arrow (for Black Canary)
  • Poison Ivy (for either Harley Quinn or Swamp Thing)
  • Catwoman (for Batman)
  • Joker (for Harley Quinn)
 
Well Poison Ivy getting Killer Frost's victory animation with the summoned throne means that Frost is very likely gone for good.

That looked great so how many characters off the leaked list remain unshown? Cheetah looks good I was worried she'd end up looking off.

Mostly veteran characters, honestly. There's not too many newcomers that are left - Captain Cold/Mr. Freeze, Scarecrow, Dr. Fate, Firestorm I think are the only ones left. I guess Brainiac if you count gameplay as well.
 
Catwoman and Cheetah look very vanilla. No surprise there. Hopefully they expand on their moveset more.

I can't wait to have a more thorough look at what Ivy can do though. She looks like she'll have a really neat looking moveset.
 
I wish Cheetah looked more like her DCAU version. Never been a fan, but she had an alright design there, I think.
Cheetah is an interesting case where she has gone from "woman in a cheap cheetah costume out of a shop", "cheetah on two legs", "orange catwoman", "furry bait", "orange woman with a tail and dagger" etc to the current Rebirth version:
 
Cheetah and Ivy looked good, Catwoman looked similar to the first game just with a new super.

-edit- Swampy's bio is up on the website:

SWAMP THING
“I GUARD THE GREEN, THE PLANT LIFE OF EARTH.”

The living elemental, Swamp Thing is the protector of all plant life, what he refers to as “the Green.” As the violent affairs of humanity threaten to impact fauna worldwide, Swamp Thing prepares his return to the fray to defend “the Green” from destruction.
 
Sick trailer.

But why is nobody mentioning how awful Catwoman's face is ?

She looks like a last gen character D: ....

Canary Cheetah and Ivy look phenomenal.

Really feel like they leveled up their modeling skills after the development of the game started and some characters got the short end of the stick...
