I suck with anyone but Wonder Woman so it's not surprising. Do you Main Bain as it look like your card thing shows? If so I'd like to play against him more with my WW. I have problems with him a lot.

Yep, Bane's my favorite dude and he's pretty much my main guy for beating up pubbies, dunno how well I'd do against WW though. Would probably just get thrown around and get annoyed at my venom timing out at bad moments. :v:

Off to bed myself, but the quick tips I can give you for fighting me is to always block high, I can't do my low combos for poo poo and so I never use them. I also use my cat dash the same way bane players use their charge, which is to say in the dumbest way possible. Just block and punish that poo poo because I will throw it out for no reason.

I will always punish a wonder woman who tries to zone me out with that overhead whip thing by using my b3, so don't do that unless it's actually connecting with me.

Final word of advice is catwoman has a poo poo load of attacks that hit high, so your db1 in sword and shield that does the parry and counter is pretty useful.

Thanks for the tips. For tips against me, I do use b2 alot (love the reach). I try* to either b23 or b2 dash 33, b2 dash B113 or into dash into another b23. I mostly punish with B113 after blocks (sometimes 33 but I always gently caress up and accidentally do B3.)

*Just because I try doesn't mean I'm successful in doing it.

Good games PSN goons! I was the mediocre Nightwing that popped in. This was the first time I was able to make to an Injustice goon room, and I was glad I did.

I really need to work on my Nightwing combos. I was dropping inputs all night.

Jim Lee designed Scorpion? Boooo. There could have been much more interesting things done with that. Like Black Lantern Scorpion.

At least he looks fun enough in the injustice engine.

Looks like that leak guy was right about his trait being him lighting himself on fire, basically. I wonder what benefits that will confer (besides the assumed damage increase).

Also Martian Manhunter zoom at the end.

I agree. And this actually what I thought of Batgirl too, I didn't think it was a good choice until I saw how she played. Scorpion though, I don't know. Didn't NRS make some sort of big deal when asked if Scorpion was in the game before Injustice released about how it was it's own thing and putting and MK character in it would cheapen it?

What a horrible thread to have a post.
I like Scorpion's intro, super, and clash. I do not like his design and I don't like having a MK character in my Comic Book Mans fighting game (yes, I am a child). So this probably just saved me buying the season pass. I don't care about Lobo and I don't care about Scorpion.

I have to say I'm disappointed in how Scorpion ended up. He looks to just be a tweaked MK9 Scorpion with a quick-and-easy trait. I was hoping they'd add things like new specials/movement and a really unique trait to really set him apart.

I know Scorpion is (mostly) in cause he'll sell very well, but I expected an overhaul on the character.

At least he got a neat new look!

As a long, long time Scorpion player, I'm actually pretty glad he's mostly the same specials. I like Scorp because of his playstyle, and while I still think he's an odd choice for Injustice, I'm still gonna play him.

How great would it have been if his trait was just a block button and that he couldn't normally block by holding back? :v:

Back in the old Injustice thread I tried to predict most of this...

AndyElusive posted:


I'm trying to think of what they'll come up with for Scorpions super move. All I have to do is think like Ed Boon...Ok, here goes.

Scorpion yells "GET THE HELL OVER HERE!" and throws out two spears and pierces his foe, momentarily stunning them. Scorpion then opens a fiery portal to HELL and jumps down into it pulling his dazed opponent with him! Once there, in HELL, Scorpion pulls off his mask to reveal his trademark ANGRY SKULL and proceeds to burn his enemy with mouth FIRE! Then while the smoldering hero/villan is shouting in agony Scorpion punches them with a patented Mortal Kombat UPPERCUT sending the other fighter flying up off screen and back into the stage through another fiery portal like a bat out of HELL landing back in with a crash of ember particle effects!

At that instant Dan Forden pops out of the corner of the screen and says, "HUH HEE HEE!!"

See if I'm not right in a couple of months.

I wasn't 100% spot on but goddamn if most of the pieces aren't there in both his Super and win pose. Pretty disappointed I was totally wrong about Dan Forden, though.

I'll admit I would be pretty hype for Scorpion if his trait was the MK run with armor.

Holy poo poo, that's pretty close if you combine his super and win pose.

I think he looks pretty cool. Way back when the game was announced, I always had a thought that someone like Scorpion or Sub Zero would be included as a hidden character or something. I'm not really bothered by his inclusion. His intro, clash, and win pose are all awesome.

I would have preferred Johnny Cage, though. :saddowns:

Having a Sub-Zero model in the intro does lend credence to the second set of DLC leak that had him in it.

That will make Scorpion vs. Sub Zero fights weird. Scorpion takes time out of his busy schedule of executing Sub Zero to...execute Sub Zero somewhere else.

I don't understand that conclusion at all. Without the movie, the audience for Zod as a DLC character would basically be just the people who already have the game and the subset of folks who just happen to be huge Zod fans for whatever reason. With the movie, the character will be more well-known than ever. It's not like people are gonna go see the movie and then be like "well, I would've bought the character before I saw the movie but now I won't".

Exactly this and because his character design will most likely resemble his newer movie incarnation. So it just makes sense to make Zod available closer to the movie release.

Yeah, I agree with this. It looks entirely like his MK9 moveset, I think maybe a jump attack might have been different? It will be interesting to see how he ranks in Injustice I guess.

This trait would be kinda OP, if you wanna go that far how about an MK3 run button? :getin:
