Not surprised to see NRS sticking to their guns in making Superman the best character in the game twice in a row.

It's too bad cool new interesting characters like Swampthang and Black Canary are going to probably just end up being *ok* but chances are you'll still just end up fighting Superman online every second or third match.

The best NRS player in the universe thinks Canary is the best character in the beta and Superman was only the best character in IJ1 a for like one patch I thought?

I honestly don't remember you might be totally right. I just recall Supes still being considered top tier after his nerfs even if he wasn't winning premier tournaments.

If NRS doesn't include the Joker in the opening roster, they'll probably wind up throwing him in as a DLC.

Get ready for a slew of "Joker? I thought you died!" "News of my demise is greatly exaggerated! HahaHA!" type opening dialogs.

Bane looks kind of awful, same with Cold. You can tell the design team had to make their base appearance pretty bland thanks to the "every battle defines you" schtick.

Maaaan. Firestorm looks so uninspired, even with all the fake hype generated by the rasslers..

Best part of Injustice comics was Plastic Man showing up and talking poo poo about Supes to his face and everyone in the room was well aware that they couldn't do anything about it because Plastic Man is terrifyingly unstoppable.

She couldn't think of a symbol to wear on her chest, so she just used a big hole?

I'm surprised NRS didn't opt for Power Girl first and make Super Girl her DLC in that case. She seems right up their ally.

Totally digging Captain Cold. He's exceeding my expectations which were pretty low after seeing him briefly in an earlier trailer for the story. Even his voice is perfect for a smarmy dude with a freeze gun and his fighting style looks fun.

Somehow Bane still looks boring.

I like how Swamp Thang is hanging out in the Yukon or whatever and how Batman is a walking rave.



Why's Scarecrow so scared for, isn't he literally a Fear Lantern in that image? Or is he just being sarcastic or something? Either way this should be his alt skin.

I'm imagining him as literally rain from MK9 just falling from the sky all match while Grodd or Aquaman or whatever fights his sister the grizzly bear.

Lurdiak posted:

The most amazing thing about all of Johns' Green Lantern epic is that brief period where Hal didn't have a Green Lantern ring and was basically a sadsack unemployed loser, and then Sinestro showed up to make fun of him.

There's a spectacular moment where Hal manages to gently caress up so badly during a date with his long-standing love interest Carol Ferris that she angrily peels out of the restaurant's parking lot, prompting Hal to yell "Carol, wait! YOU DROVE ME HERE!"

That sounds awesome because of how closely it mimics my actual life at the moment.

Holy poo poo, apparently someone in NRS agreed with me that Flash's super in the first game was terrible (You take the most memorable part of JLU and make it BORING!?), because the new one makes up for it and then some.

You thought that The Flash going "Rrrrrrrrrrrrahhh!" Then running around the world and across water to land a speedster uppercut was terrible? It was mediocre at worst.

While I'm at it, can I just mention how every hero going "Haaaaa!" or "Rrrrraawwwwrrr!" before their super is kind of dumb?

When did that poo poo start happening in NRS games? MK vs DCU? At least Catwoman goes "Meeeeowwrrr!"

How is making a no-gear mode where the characters are designed in a somewhat balanced manner pandering to a minority group/niche audience?

Gear is meant to allow for broken poo poo and casual play without NRS needing to worry about patching the game because of it months down the road.

For all its faults the story for MKvsDCU was fun in a Saturday morning stupid way, the story for MK9 blew that out of the water. The story for Injustice was great and the story for MK10 was a step up from that.

If my calculations are correct, the story for Injustice 2 will... destroy the entire planet.
