Injustice: Gods Among Us |OT| With Super Friends Like These, Who Needs Enemies?

Got to play this yesterday at a friends house was putting a lot of time into Harley Quinn really like her playstyle but I don't really see the point to her trait. It comes out really slow and the benefits you gain are random so it isn't really reliable. That may change with more playtime but at the time it felt useless.

I like Nightwing on this.
He's easy to play as.

He doesn't seem to be a really heavy hitter :/
I'm with ya. I'm totally in the dark minus the prequel comics.

No, he is not.
Like, at all.
Still, he moves fast, has a range of attacks, and is an alright character to start with.

If DLC is important to you, WB has not officially announced DLC for the Wii U version according to some Twiier posts. I'm still getting it for the Wii U though.
Hahaha, holy shit these guys suck balls.

Because the game has been out for so long.
These guys have been playing since Friday (or yesterday...whatever), they just didn't bother training or anything. They just hopped online and go nuts.

The story gets much better.
I mean, it's still a comic book story.
But a better one.
The art is the same damn thing.
Quite a bit of costumes are available, though.

They explain it.
Well, it's still complete balls and makes no sense.
Still. It's something. lol
God I hate the character portraits.

In spoiler tags, purely out of curiosity, what's the reason everybody can go toe-to-toe with Superman?
"I have no idea what the story is, who these characters are or their capabilities, and ultimately am totally ignorant of all things DC past the Nolan films. I am ignorant as hell and don't you dare try to correct that".
Many of these characters actually are capable of putting a dent in superman.
If you could deal with persona 4's ridiculous story, you'll be fine here

I think suspension of disbelief is pretty much a requirement when dealing with comic book stories. I agree Superman>all in a fight, but I wont let that get the way of enjoying this game.
MK was my favorite game this gen, I am beyond ready for this game.
Yeah I'd like to know this too

Doomsday killed Superman for reference in the comics. Anyone with kryptonite turns him into a bitch as well.
People tend to forget that he has zero defenses against anything magic related as well. In the playable roster, that is both Shazam and Black Adam.
If we are counting the New 52, Aquaman punched him hard enough for him to feel it too. Wonder Woman is a half goddess. She can hurt him for sure. You can't forget Lex who is smart enough to be a threat to Superman.

And magic, it's not widely known that Superman is weak to magic.
For those curious of how they justify the power difference between the characters (story spoilers):
it's a pill engineered by the story's main villain laced with Kryptonian stuff to give to his troops. The rebels also managed to get it.
Iron Man vs Magneto kinda makes sense, they fought in AvX and Iron Man had some specially made non metal suit, actually beat Magneto iirc.
Look that really pushed the limits of suspension of disbelief, especially in an event comic that had normally sane characters doing stupid things.
Any fictional story. Not just comic books. That being said, I actually do think the story in this is rather well put together. If not for the plot, than the dialogue for sure. I honestly wish the story was longer because I want more of it.

Tell me about it. I've hated the past decade of hero vs hero "who would win?!" stuff where best friends are now at each other's throats and characters throw away years of development just to give the audience a fight. But that stuff sells (see: Civil War, AvX, this game) so whatever gets more people into comic books I guess.

What is it about DC that causes this conversation to come up more than it ever has with Marvel?

Because for the most popular/known heroes in Marvel (guys like Spidey, Hulk, Wolverine, Iron Man, Thor, Cap, etc.) people generally know where each stands. With DC there's ALWAYS the eternal "Superman is invincible!" vs "Batman always has a plan!"
It's always been kind of dumb to me and I don't care about power level disparity at all. Have Stilt-Man beat-up Wolverine for all I care. Because guess what really determines the winner: the writer. Get big enough in the industry/company and you can write that "Toad beats Hulk" story you've always imagined. And it'll be 100% valid canon. But hey, it's fun for people to argue that stuff so let them have their fun.
A mash-up game with characters from different "universes" is very different IMO. Also, those games don't even pretend to have a real story lol
Started 5th chapter of campaign on ps3. This game is pretty sweet, but i have couple of complaints. 1st - all cutscenes are video, and the jump between 60 sweet fps to lower is jarring. Fps also drops in signature moves. Also, most "super-duper" moves are kinda lame looking. Aquaman's is coolest so far. Playing on thumbstick is much easier for a noob like me.

O_O How the ...?
Because theyve generaly had stories. The capcom games, paricularly the mvc series has just been `bad guy shows up, people fight!` when you have a narrative, people try to make sense of it.

This seemed so silly I had to see it, found this on Youtube:

I don't think you can call that a convincing win for Tony.

idk, the dir pad is just too uncomfortable to use. I play in all fightings with thumbstick, makes it more fun.
I think not.
The majority of the non-Batman characters are already on Superman's level though.
Batman is still undefeated vs Superman in all recorded encounters. Green Lantern is also undefeated since he constructed kryptonite from his ring.
Then good news, it doesn't matter what is being said on Twitter by WB Games when you have a confirmation from Nintendo that it will from the February Nintendo Direct:

The only thing I could see happening is Wii U doesn't get a season pass or the pre-order DLC from Gamestop for some reason or another, but the DLC will be there.
Everyone talking about Superman when it's the Flash that should be unbeatable.
Living embodiment of kinetic energy who draws power from the forces of space and time > all your heroes.
Also, it's hilarious this never comes up with Marvel. Because Spidey really is a serious threat to Phoenix in universe.

Yeah, a Flash that doesn't care about killing would be the most destructive force on the planet. He could just phase through his enemies causing them to explode.

Pretty much this. Flash is far more powerful, and I never knew why people ignored him.
And the fact that he can vibrate through objects makes him incredibly difficult to deal with.
kinda like how Aquaman was pegged as "guy who can only talk to fish", Flash was pegged as "guy who can only run fast". They don't even consider the possibilities this power offers them or how it functions.
To be fair, Aquaman is probably one of the least extravagant, for lack of a better term, members of the Big 7 of the JLA. He's only the fourth strongest in terms of physical power (perhaps third in the new 52, since I'm fairly certain he's stronger than Cyborg), and his powers are pretty situational.
They should make his trident's water summoning powers from Injustice canon. Give him a little more spice.
