I've been playing the game since launch, but have only recently realized how I like to play fighting games. I enjoy the meta-game of footsies. I like jockeying for position with my opponent and punishing whiffed attacks or any misteps. I know Injustice isn't exactly known for footsies, but those characters that can play that meta-game are in there somewhere. I know everyone will just say Aquaman or MMH, but I'm not interested in playing a top tier character for the sake of them being top tier. I have spent some time with Aquaman several months ago, but to be honest, the character is kind of tainted for me now. I don't want to play a character where I never know if I earned that win, or the character got me that win.
I've been thinking about Wonder Woman (b2, 3 with Lasso has great range), but I've also heard Nightwing has some pretty good normals and range with his staff. If it helps, I play Fei Long in USF4 because of his great normals, ability to punish opponents and all around space control. Any characters similar to that in Injustice?
