Injustice 2 Roster Discussion & Speculation Thread

A guy I know got these from an "anon image board", whatever that means.

This should have been their target for the Injustice 2 character model. It's so much more exotic than how she appears in the game.
 
This is great news. It was disappointing to see the DLC characters not receive even a single alternate costume in the first game. This should fix that.

Well gear is part of the gameplay so it would be dumb if they don't have it for the new characters !

On a sidenote, Zod had a costume :p .

“I'M STRONGER, FASTER -- AND THIRSTY FOR AMAZON BLOOD!”

When archaeologist Barbara Ann Minerva betrayed Wonder Woman to claim the powers of a god, she was unaware that she would be cursed to live a life transformed as the Cheetah. She now uses her primal powers to take revenge against Wonder Woman, drawing her out of hiding in hopes of bringing about her doom.

Maybe it'll be gear, she already had a green-ish face at one point in the trailer.

Interested to see what she'll have since I can't see Ivy wearing a bunch of armour BS.
 
The reason the pre-Crisis version was cursed btw:
Her powers are conferred to her by ingesting a combination of human blood and the berries or leaves of Urzkartaga. Unfortunately for Minerva, the host of the Cheetah persona is intended to be a virgin. Minerva is not, so her transformations were part curse and part blessing, as she experiences severe pain and physical disability while in her human form and blood-thirsty euphoria while in her cat form
 
Probably the same reason Atrocitus in name only has lips.

Easier to animate talking?
I don't know, all they have to do is make Cheetah's teeth sharp, not necessarily bigger. It wouldn't affect her animations. Grodd has big fangs without issue.
 
At least Flash's costume is better this time around, I guess. Shame about his super.

I like Green Lantern's though even though it looks more like what Kyle would use.
 
Not liking whatever this is on his face.


These chin-face-guard things look terrible on both GL and Superman, please stop.

Guy says he'll upload any potential Joker/GA/whoever art as soon as it becomes available, so keep yo eyes peeled.
 
Asylum Ivy is one of my favourite looks for her, to be honest.

But that could be an unpopular opinion because I've seen a lot of love for her Knight design. Never really been big on it.
 

What's your PSN? If we get matched up I can help you. Spinky's post is super helpful and very important to note. What fighting games are you familiar with? I good thing to note is figuring how the combo system works. You won't really be doing "links" unless the opponent is in a juggle state, or juggled in the corner. You kind of dial the combos in, pressing them consecutively before the full animations are even out. Look at the moves list and study the combo list and special move lists hard.

In MK and Injustice, buttons are usually referenced in a numerical matter like so:
Square (1) Triangle (2) X(3) Circle(4)

Let's say you're playing with Superman and you see a combo that is 2,2,3. In IJ1 we could follow that combo up but we can't do it in Injustice 2. So rather than finish the 2,2,3 combo out you can dial 2,2 and input a special move to be cancelled into.
2,2,3 = two punches followed by overhead punch
2,2, Back, Forward 3 = two punches followed by his straight dash punch special.

Again, you're not pressing these buttons slowly like links, you're dialing them in.
I know this looks like a big mess but I can help you more online. I'm not pro level by any means but I think I'm decent enough to teach somebody the ropes haha.

EDIT: I WILL ONLY PLAY WITH THAT AQUAMAN
