Which Character's move seems most unlike them?

HoneyBee

HoneyBee

Flash God Lord
From Injustice:

Batman's slide. Why would Batman EVER slide to hit an opponent and then take longer to get back up than the opponent does? That's really stupid and Batman is smarter than that. The move itself also looks sloppy. Not something that a master of however many martial arts would ever do.

Flash's lightning kick is also something kinda odd. Obviously it has grown on me from playing him so much but I remember looking at his moves for the very first time and when I saw that I was very confused. I would never imagine Flash kicking a villain like that in a TV show or the like.

His ancestors have superpowers which he has. How is it weird?

Didn't know that, never been a fan of Johnny so never really looked it up xD

I was under the assumption that it was special effects or something, either way, even with that explanation, the move still seems weird to me :p

There's a couple moves I don't really understand, like Kung Lao's spin. What is it that makes the opponent pop up when he spins? Some kind of energy? Why does he have control over it? Why can he teleport? Isn't he just a monk or whatever? What is the green energy Johnny has? It's never really explained and making me quite crazy lol. Sorry if this is off-topic.

How about Rain? His name has to do with water and all but one of his abilities involve water. Why does he have a lightning bolt move?? That seems more like a move raiden would have.

Rain is a trait of a storm, and so are lightning and storm clouds.


As for Kano, i'm just glad they changed the animation on his ball, it's more like a rolling flip of sorts now.

Kitanas air lift, she is a female ninja with blade fans and then BAM! She's suddenly lifting people in the air with magic. Why doesn't she use this magic more!?

Also Kung Laos teleport, kabal's gas blast, rains round the world roundhouse, etc

That's true... but look at all of rain's moves besides roundhouse kick...

He turns into water, he shoots water, traps ppl in a water bubble, squirts ppl with water, uses jet streams of water, etc. Lightning bolt is out of place.

He's basically the squirtle of MK. He's a water type, not an electric type.

Slides in general feel off to me, especially SZ's. His shoulder charge seems more fitting and I hope it returns.

I don't think anyone got a more raw or bizarre deal moveset-wise than Cyber Sub.

All of a sudden he's aerodynamically designed with the Divekicks when he's NEVER been a footwork kind of fighter outside of his Slide, but everything else he's armed with besides the Parry is terrible in the context of how badass and destructive someone like him should be if you turn him cybernetic.
Terrible Teleport, terrible Ice Ball, even worse Kamehameha Ice Beam than when he was human, and Bombs that you damn near have to be STANDING ON for them to be even remotely scary. It's like him and Cyrax are the MK equivalent of Stewie Griffin and Bitch Stewie.

(And for the record, there still isn't one good reason you couldn't map his Bombs to 4 instead of 3. 332 and 34 are two of the only good things he has going for him, he shouldn't have to worry about accidently throwing a dud when he's trying to dash in. But that's another story...)

Styker throwing bombs in older MK's. He's supposed to be a police officer, why is he going around throwing bombs like a deranged terrorist?

I never understood ermacs telekinetic slam in mk 9. I always thought it should do some kind of proximity blast around him seeing as hes more defensive based or something but smashing into the ground causing shockwaves and being stuck there for like 100 years always seemed pretty dumb to me personally

Kitanas fan lift projectile. Wtf? Okay I get she can like use her fans to summon wind or some shit but to throw it across the screen?

I'm guessing this was the conversation NRS had while designing it

"Wow that's really cool! It kind of seems like it would be perfect for a different character.. Who am I thinking of? Eh, he probably isn't important anyway. Go ahead and give it to Kitana :D"

:(
