I just finished the single player, and woo boy was that an awesome fun story. Surprisingly good for a fighting game, but then NetherRealm Studios showed they could make an interesting fight game story with MK9.

Still don't know who I'm going to try to main, since I only got the game today and marathoned through the story mode. Who else got this? If you're on the PS3, hit me up, my ps id is Ravenpoe121

I also liked that the story mode addressed the fact that one punch from Superman should shatter Green Arrow. Even if it's ultimately a hand wave, at least it's given an in-game reason to make sense.

Batman has also taken the big Injustice online tournament.

Since that was an online vote, of course he did. Everyone knew from the beginning that Batman was the most popular.

Not that I watched them all anyway

Man, tried the demo. Dug it, it's still too stiff in my opinion but it seems like you could have some fun. But even from the demo, I was already done with the 2 trigger super move. They're going to be like Final Fantasy summons. Cool at first, but after the 50th time you wish they were over faster.

It could have used some alternative animations for those, the same goes with the intros and outros. I actually like the stiff, weighty style of MK that they've used, but that might be just because I'm terrible at the hyper frenetic style fighting games. And honestly, as your skill levels go up, the overall speed of the game does too, because you learn how to use your dashes and movement abilities.

I love the environmental moves. Even though I feel like some of them need some damage tweaks. People are already finding 91% combos stringing all of the environmentals together with certain characters and certain levels. But I'm also sure those will be patched and tweaked, just like NRS did for MK9.

When the fuck did Aquaman become such a badass?

It's been stated a few times that the demo's controls do not reflect the end result. A failure on the demos part but not to be reflected on the game.

They're pretty close. If he doesn't like that style of movement, the tightening up of the controls vs the demo (which was a much earlier build) isn't going to change that.

And I can understand how he feels. I don't know how anyone can like Tekken, I hate the way it controls. I know it's an in depth game and tons of people love it, but it's not for me.

And as I play it more now, I'm not sure the long super animations are really that big of a problem. Yes, they're long, but I don't think they'll be used all that often. I find myself only using them if I know they'll end the match, because meter control is so important. If you use your super, you drain your meter, and you're leaving yourself open to an easy clash, as well as not having any way to enhance your attacks or do bounce cancels.

Just like in MK9, where doing x-ray moves were rare due to how valuable meter is.

Although hitting people with the batmobile never gets old.[DOUBLEPOST=1366430305][/DOUBLEPOST]I know I'm double posting in this thread a lot, but that's because I just got the game and keep exploring more about it.

Holy hell the practice mode is ROBUST. No longer is it just a punching bag for you to wail against, you can actually record button logs and have the computer execute them to find the best way to counter them. As well as do online practice with a buddy to just wail on each other with infinite health.

So, for anyone that's playing this game, who are your favorite characters?

Deathstroke the Terminator: By now, everyone know that Deathstroke is super strong. Slade has the ability to hurt you at any range. He can shoot at you from across the arena, shoot at you some more... shoot you again (how many fucking guns does this guy have?) or he can run up at you and pull his sword. I actually don't think he's OP, you just have to be very careful in countering him.

Green Lantern: I'm loving Hal Jordan. His kit is really fun, and he's an overall very strong character. Dependent on meter to be able to set up his really devastating combos, but with his long distance grenade blasts, gatling gun, and frequently used lantern lift, he builds meter quickly. Lantern charge isn't the best trait out there, but it does give him a nice damage boost, and you can even combo into it with some combos. Also, Lantern aficionados will probably kill me for this, but I love his Sinestro Corps costume.

Nightwing: I'm really surprised by this, but I really like nightwing. He has a really aggressive playstyle and can really switch things up swapping between escrima style and his staff. At first I was put off by his really weird jump, but I feel like that's to his advantage. In Escrima stance, he has one of the highest standing jumps in the game, and his forward flip makes it difficult to tell when he's going to cross up. In staff, he takes really shallow hops, so shallow you can't even jump over your opponent. But that short hop makes it difficult to anti-air him, and the reach on his staff is insane.

Nightwing and Green Arrow are my fighters of choice at the moment. I'd like to learn the Joker too, because he seems like one of those "hard to master, but once you do their ungodly powerful" types of characters. Same with Wonder Woman. She's like Nightwing where she's got the Sword and Shield mode and Lasso mode. One thing I have noticed is that people don't use their special powers as often as they should. Especially Flash. You should be popping his special as soon as it's recharged.

Well now I'm interested. I've heard some terrible things about this game so I'm really glad to hear people are enjoying it. I don't think I will pay 60 bucks for it but I would pay 20 or 30.

The challenges in this game are ball crushingly hard.

God yes. And they all start with characters I don't care about. I'll probably get around to trying to finish them eventually, but right now I've got more to do.

I shouldn't have gone to 'official fighting game' forums... sweet Jesus. Entire bitchfests over Wonder Woman not being pretty enough? I felt ashamed to even be there.

I actually praised NetherRealm for making her look like an awesome amazon, and putting her in pants.

Powergirl and Donna Troy have the same issues with their origins as they've constantly switched them around and made them a mess. In all their "crisis" crossovers when they've merged and restored alternate earths, they always end up being somehow detached from the multiverse.

I wasn't all that interested, since modern fighting games t end to be way too fast and frenetic for me; reading that it's actually a bit heavier/slower à la MK has heightened my interest greatly. Won't buy at €49.95 but I might pick it up if and when the price drops.

Everyone's waiting for the price point to drop, sadly the online matchmaking will be terrible by that time. All the -newbies- will have either gotten very good at the game or quit. All that will be left will be hardcore players that will decimate whatever crowd joins at the price drop sales. Then those people will be frustrated with the online matchmaking and also stop playing. The community is doomed from the start.

They should have released it for $30 and then just had optional costume dlc sales to make up the difference. That way everyone would get in on the ground floor and enjoy it together, the community would be bigger, stronger and last alot longer.

Eh, since I don't intend to ever, ever, ever play it on line against anyone I don't already know personally, I doubt I'd have made much of an impact
You're right, though.

Just imagine, the base game comes with just the basic costumes, then sell alternate costumes for $2.50 (like Awesomenauts does). Imagine how many people would buy Yellow Lantern Batman, White Lantern Hal Jordan, 1960s Joker, TAS Harley Quinn etc.

Lost most of my love for fighting games over the years, but hearing about the story interested me. Decided to look it up and holy smokes, nearly 2 hours of story cutscenes? Sure have come a long way from having nothing but a row of fights followed by a little story screen talking about how awesome you were for winning. I ended up watching it while recovering from being sick, was a pretty fun little story. Though I do have one question...

Frank - I wasn't talking about single player people, I was talking about the online community for the game. They suffer when games go $50+ then go on sale months down the line. It collapses every time.

As for doing the single play content? I don't think I'd even pay $20 for 4hrs of content.

I dunno, people pay 20 bucks for 4 hour DLC all the time (Mass Effect 3, Skyrim etc.). I'd pay 20 bucks to add more variety to my fighting game library (which are usually what a group of friends and I do when we just decide to sit around). Variety.

I'm sure you would. Like I said. I wouldn't. Much like you won't do the online matchmaking, where as others would. The only difference here is, the online community falling apart due to price point failure.

So, I'm totally in love with Sinestro. Been playing him online, and I can rack up some decent combos with him. His special ability is dumb as hell, though. You have to charge it up and it gives you three low damage laser blasts. But his EX moves more than make up for it.

The iPad tie-in game is actually pretty awesome. I'm waiting for a price drop on the console game, but the iPad one is quite satisfying and (at least at the time I DL'd it) free.

Is the cutscene graphics as terrible as the intro graphics that were posted online the other day? It seriously looked like Wii level graphics, which was... surprising.

I'd likely play this if it wasn't a fighting game. Not going to harp on them because, you know, to each their own, but I've just never been a fan of the genre.

That's some serious hyperbole. I think people forget just what the Wii looked like.

The cutscenes are done in-engine, so up close the secondary characters aren't always going to be super detailed. But I think it looks fine for the comic style they were going for.




Also, this game has an amazing credit sequence.



Maybe I just like Depeche Mode.

Re: Batman, I think their costume decisions worked. Main Earth Batman had very advanced looking, Christopher Nolan style armor, complete with the seperate head from shoulders helmet. Whereas resistnace Batman had the older style, clunkier, and beat up suit, as he was cut off from the majority of his resources.[DOUBLEPOST=1366650979][/DOUBLEPOST]

His power is great. You have to decide if you want to trade damage for the opportunity to charge it, since you're really only going to charge it on knockdown. But two knockdowns (or two fear bindings) will give you plenty of time to charge it, and once you do his meta changes. His power isn't for damage, none of his kit is. He's a zoning character, and those three shots all provide knockdown and can make his unsafe on block moves safe by firing them out at the end. It's completely detached from him, and can be fired any time he isn't being hit, so you can fire it off to lock down your opponent while you escape.

Sinestro is a lot like Noob in MK. He's at his strongest when he's on the other side of the screen from you. He builds meter quickly, and his meter burn specials (specifically fear bolt and boulder drop) are amazing.

For those who don't have the game and aren't into fighters but would like to see how the story plays out:

(Spoiler: It's 3hrs long)

Also it seems Injustice isn't just a good game, it's a solid fighter respected by the fighting game community:

(Evo is the biggest fighting game tournament around where the best of the best play for top spot.)

I have to say that the game is super fun. I love the king of the hill mode. I'm glad they carried that over from MK9. Lobo just came out and he's a fully realized character, not just a palette swap of another character. Batgirl is the next character to come out.

Oh my god. I was dreading Babs, but if she doesn't look super fun to play...

Babs has always had the yellow bat symbol. I agree that if they were going to make the cowl purple, they should have just made the rest of the costume purple.

Grundy don't stop.



Not shown here is that Grundy has a great move called Walking Corpse. It causes him to walk forward and grab his opponent into a throw. The great thing about it is the walk has armor, so he can't be hit out of it, he just keeps coming, AND you can cancel out of the walk at the last minute. This means you can walk through your opponents attacks and projectiles to punch them in the face and start relentlessly comboing them.

I need to look up some good Sinestro Juggles. I've gotten up to an 8 hit combo with him, but it's hard to pull off and you have to use meter burns to get there, and use his special ability, which you have to charge up. He's a ranged beast, though with a ton of ways to get distance. He's probably still my favorite character. I don't know why, but I still hate the back to forward moves, like Shazam's lightning charge (though Shazam is a BEAST). Does anyone know how to counter Raven's telekinetic crush move?

Ed Boon created a new poll asking who we'd want for the next round of DLC characters, mentioned that he excluded Martian Man Hunter because he knew he'd win, so I'm sure we're either going to get him at the end of this season or beginning of the next.

Could you imagine a super where Atrocidus sends Dex-Starr at the person?

Fuck yeah to Booster Gold and Blue Beetle. As much as I love Power Girl, I don't want to see any other kryptonians, simply because I think they'd be too similar to Superman. I keep hearing everyone want Zod included, but if he is, I'd just want him to be a skin and voice pack for Superman and not a real character (evil supes even already tells people to kneel, so why do we need him?).

As overcrowded as the bat family already is, I actually would like Red Hood. We need some more villains, and I have a hard time coming up with some that aren't from Batman. Maybe Larfleeze? Bizarro would make a good 'big' character like Bane or Doomsday. Deadshot... is probably too much like Deathstroke. Darkseid? Eh, doesn't really fit, and he's already a stage transition.

Oh, man... for villains I'd love to see:

• Larfleeze
• Mirror Master
• Captain Cold (I know, keep dreaming. We've got Killer Frost)
• Vandal Savage
• Black Manta
• Ocean Master
• Gorilla Grodd would be interesting I guess...
• Doctor Light?

Ravenpoe - Supergirl or Powergirl would add alot to the game I think, in terms of sex appeal and gameplay.
Zod? As a skin, maybe but he's not quite as beefy as Supes.
Given the choice between Red Hood and Deadshot, I'd take Deadshot. Saying he's too much like Deathstroke would be like saying why bother with Sinestro when he's basically Hal? They can definitely be different.
Bizarro would be interesting, and Darkseid WILL be put in the game, just watch.

Mirror Master would make a good fighting game villain. The moves you could program for him would be great.

Volcana? Might be a nice counterpoint to Killer Frost. Captain Boomerang? Metallo? Parasite?

I felt they were already kinda scraping the bottom of the barrel for villains, because who the fuck is Killer Frost?

Just set a time, and I'll be there. It's summer, and I have basically all of monday through friday off.

Wife and I watched the cutscenes last night. I doubt I'll play the game, but this is probably the best storyline a fighting game has ever had. If I had any complaints, it's that Green Lantern has zero creativity compared to GL on JLU, and if the Joker hadn't been taken along for the ride, it wouldn't have really made any difference. I can see why Mark Hamill wouldn't have come out of retirement for this Joker role (vs Arkham City). That said, he had some good lines. Otherwise, it was great. Lots of awesome Green Arrow moments, the disparity between our Superman and this one was chilling, Batman's role was excellent, and they got pretty brutal here.


We've been watching a lot of JLU lately, so it was cool having what was essentially a CGI movie of that to sit back and enjoy.

Wife and I watched the cutscenes last night. I doubt I'll play the game, but this is probably the best storyline a fighting game has ever had. If I had any complaints, it's that Green Lantern has zero creativity compared to GL on JLU, and if the Joker hadn't been taken along for the ride, it wouldn't have really made any difference. I can see why Mark Hamill wouldn't have come out of retirement for this Joker role (vs Arkham City). That said, he had some good lines. Otherwise, it was great. Lots of awesome Green Arrow moments, the disparity between our Superman and this one was chilling, Batman's role was excellent, and they got pretty brutal here.

Spoiler

Deaths of Lex Luthor and Captain Marvel Shazam.

We've been watching a lot of JLU lately, so it was cool having what was essentially a CGI movie of that to sit back and enjoy.

How funny, I got my wife to watch it as a movie (just cutscenes) last night as well. She's a DC fan much like myself and enjoyed it throughly.

WHY AREN'T YOU LETTING ME BEAT YOU UP!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

So, Zod is the final season pass character. I don't know what their plans are for future DLC. I'm hoping that they keep adding characters.

While I don't like Zod being the last new character due to its obvious attempt to grab at the Man of Steel audience, he is fun as hell to play.

At first I was upset that Zod was the 4th DLC character. I mean, we already have an evil Superman option in the game, and he even already demands that you kneel. But then I saw the gameplay, and the awesome way he stands with his hands behind his back, and his fighting style that's far more militarized than Superman's, involving kryptonian weaponry, and I'm totally ok with it now.

They kinda teased Martian Manhunter at the end of the Scorpion trailer, so I'm hoping that they do at least one more round of DLC characters.

Also, Zod's special ability is almost overpowered. I can pretty easily get off 9-12 hit combos with that phantom zone monster.

Aside from Scorpion being out of place and completely OP, this season of DLC wasn't too bad.

Also, if the rumors are true we're getting Martian Man Hunter, Power Girl, Red Hood and Swamp Thing.

I'd still love Captain Cold or Mirror Master but siiiiigh. Also, logging on Bowliee. Time to kneel.

What the heck BananaHands you lose one match and quit

Bad form, old boy.

You logged off! I thought you wanted to quit on top with that nightwing victory and got so bummed!

I thought you had quit out of the game and it was the only reason I even had my PS3 fired up

I was just about to play a round as Batgirl.

Rematches are in order. Definitely.

It seems like we were pretty evenly matched, seeing as our matches were pretty close. That makes it much more fun.

OK, so I'm gonna go ahead and set this up. Wednesday 07/10/13 6PM CST. Anyone who has this game, log on and let's try to get enough people to do a KOTH match. We can negotiate time, but I'm getting sick of us not having a HF smackdown.

BananaHands Ravenpoe Let's do this!!!!!

I haven't played since the release of lobo, so I'm pretty terrible.

Brush up, play through the arcade mode to get the Batgirl and Zod endings (man, fuck Scorpion). It will be fun on a bun.

I don't have any of the DLC. I'm still unemployed, so dlc for a game I don't play that often seems like a pointless expense.

I can do this too. Who else has this for ps3?

WHERE ARE YOU SUBJECTS.

LAY PRAISE TO KING SUPERMAN.

;_;

Well, at least nanna hands and I were able to beat the snot out of each other for a while.

Bane against Green Arrow was a terrible idea.

lol, yeah, I smacked you down pretty hard that match.

Anyone wanna play? Ravenpoe or Bowielee ?[DOUBLEPOST=1373733178][/DOUBLEPOST]Wait false alarm roommate is watching portlandia >:|

Ummmmm.

There is SO much love going into this game, it's crazy.

Hells yeah. Jon Stewart GL skin with the voice actor from JLU. As long as they keep releasing content, I'm gonna keep buying it.

He beat GL? Martian Manhunter OP.

Also... dat John Stewart skin![DOUBLEPOST=1373846675][/DOUBLEPOST]

Wrong Stewart. But that would be awesome.

I love the fact that they got many of the voice actors from the cartoons to play their characters. Too bad Mark Hamill retired from voicing the Joker before this came out.

;_; no one will play KOTH with me.

I'm ready anytime during the week. I work solid through the weekend with only a few hours every day where I'm not sleeping or working.

Y'know, I'd love to see a less serious character for DLC. Lobo is kinda jokey, but I'm talking Ambush Bug, Mr. Mxyzptlk, or The Creeper.

I'm talking really crazy weird. Think Bat-Mite or ... OH, OH! The Wonder Twins! I want to see them just go nuts for at least one character.

OR

The Trickster- two birds, one stone. A member of the Rogues and a goofy character.

Anyone got an hour to kill?

Bowielee said:

The Creeper.

THIS would be ... interesting.

Martian Manhunter is out for 4.99. I played around with him for awhile. I have a feeling he's going to be one of those characters that are weak unless you really know how to play him. His special ability is super useful because he can do a standard combo from far away.

Zatanna, BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear character designers: she can be sexy without her tits hanging out. Button up the shirt. It looks as ridiculous as when artists draw Catwoman's current costume with the zipper down to her naval.

Just be glad they went with something like her classic outfit and not that horrible new 52 goth getup.

So do you guys have to pay $5 per character?

Yes, there isn't a second season pass so the going rate for additional characters is 4.99.

Kind of lame.

Still, there's something wrong with her character design, and I can't quite put my finger on it. I suppose it's because she looks less like a top hat-wearing Gypsy, and more like Depp's Willy Wonka.

--Patrick

Yeah, I'm bummed about the second season pass not happening, but it really seems like they're keeping fans more in mind with this set of characters so it's kind of worth it.

I really hope we don't get Red Hood next. We're do for a bad guy though. Mirror Master?? Larfleeze?
