TYM's Injustice 2 Discussion Thread (Harley Quinn & Deadshot Official Announced)

[Ryu Hayabusa]

Traits define Injustice, some of them were like that but some were not. For instance Bane being able to pump up venom in the middle of a command grab or after he does super but before he grabs you, Zod smackig you with trait while you are being hit by EX lasers, Sinestro or batman being able to trait shot/bat you out of the air while holding back to block, green lantern being able to cancel into trait activation from a string and then cancel trait activation into lanterns might, flash could also cancel specials into trait activation. Traits are way more unique than just some special move and they define the uniqueness of the game and creativity behind some of the characters designs.

Now, some characters like Joker or Shazam and what not could definitely use a redisgn of their traits since it didnt compliment their design much but thats fine considering it was their first try implementing them

Zod, Sinestro and Batman's trait were not that different to sonya's drone, subzero's ice Klone, predators net and discs, reptiles ex forceball and Takeda's ex-kunai and light-sabre.

Wonder Woman and nightwing had unique traits but WoWo's trait was utter garbage that barely anyone used.

 

[Ryu Hayabusa]

One more suggestion.

In addition to variations giving you access to few special moves they can make the enhanced version of universal special moves different for each variation to further differentiate between variations.
For example.

Batman's batarang is universal move but there is no enhanced universal batarang.

Variation 1
Enhanced batarang is explosive batarang that pops up opponent.

Variation 2
Enhanced batarang is sonic batarang that summons bats to deal damage over time.

Variation 3
Enhanced batarang is shock batarang that stuns opponent setting him/her for free hit.

Her trait was pretty good in the corner and took less chip damage, but lacked any kind of wakeup whatsoever.

 

[Spinky]

Injustice 2 should have a block button!

lol

 

[Sutter Pain]

lol

Why not? They might be able to link like 7 game mechanics to it this time.

 

[Schuyler]

In injustice the charcter types were as defined as they ever were. Bane grundy lobo werer fun grapplers, batgirl batman and the flash were fun rush down and we all know the zoners. Make the grapplers actual grapplers.

 

[Thorfax13]

So I think that Black Canary may be in Injustice 2

No variation pls

 

[Ryu Hayabusa]

If Black canary makes the cut, this is how she should be.

Universal moves.
She is known for her Canary cry so it is fitting that her universals revolve around her canary power.

Canary cry that disorients opponent.
Canary cry that destroys projectiles.
Canary cry that knocks opponent away.
Anti Air canary cry.
Low canary cry.

Variation 1.
Canary uses her martial arts skills, particularly boxing and kick boxing to rushdown her opponent.

Variation 2.
In this variation canary gains command grab moves which enhance her grappling and wrestling game.
suplex
DDT
Ground & pound
Neck breaker
Arm lock
Leg lock

Variation 3.
In this variation canary uses batons for extra range and gains various moves utilizing batons.

This might be their hidden room where they try new sh*t. She was on flash as earth 2 siren and she is going to be in green arrow and birds of prey books.

 

[Ryu Hayabusa]

No variation pls

It would be better if you spend your time learning matchups instead of trying to suck the fun out of game.

...what?

 

[Thorfax13]

All I want is is a command grab for The Flash. He could vibrate his hand through you then you fall to your knees.

 

[Ryu Hayabusa]

...what?

Due to variations there are 100 different characters in MKX which means you have to learn 99 matchups instead of 32.

Who cares, that doesn't make me want variations in injustice. I already was completely over the idea as a failed trial.

Keep each property separate with their own wacky things. If i wanted a variation based NRS fighter I could just play MKX

 

[7L]

Give me that bottom tier arrow please

 

[TheBoyBlunder]

I wish you people wouldn't blow your loads for every game release. We keep showing NRS that we will buy their games over and over, sometimes multiple copies of one game and for what? Ridiculous guessing games and over powered DLC? Let's not forget the constant patching.

Do any of you even remember some of the bullshit from IGAU? Ambiguous cross ups that were nothing more than game bugs (hi Flash players) leading to you losing your whole first health bar. What fun that is! I'm really looking forward to figuring out how to block double 50/50s. "Is he going low or overhead, and should I block forward or backwards?!?!?"

At the very least, can we plz not preorder this shit?

Edit: You know they're going to release some bullshit mobile app too. Can we please not be ok with that?

IGAU was fun. Don't hold salt because you blew.

They use the same engine and mechanics for their both franchises. Difference isn't as big as MVC3 and SFIV. If Mortal kombat is SF then injustice is SFXTekken.
There is no point in making one game inferior for the sake of change.
I love variations and want see them in every NRS game. There are plenty of things they can do to separate both franchises without removing content.

 

[Name v.5.0]

Hahaha. I didnt blow, and I agree that IGAU was a lot of fun. I logged a ton of hours. That doesn't mean that the game should be built to allow ambiguous cross ups (that aren't jump ins). I love these games and I want to keep loving them, but bullshit shouldn't be rewarded.

 

[xQUANTUMx]

back to block game and you don't want ambiguous crossups? ok.

 

[Eldriken]

Due to variations there are 100 different characters in MKX which means you have to learn 99 matchups instead of 32.

That also means NRS has to focus on balancing 100 variations and we all know their track record with that. Major things get ignored, unnecessary changes are made, low-tiers are nerfed for whatever reason, etc.

I'd rather them have a much smaller pool of things to worry about for the sake of balance.

The games were night and day, they shared almost no base mechanics with each other besides strings/specials combo system. The game would not be made "inferior" or have less content because of no variations, variations were nothing more than a marketing gimmick NRS used for MKX only, it will not be in every NRS game from here on out. Variations will be replaced by extra base characters or other forms of content, that is how resource allocation works

 

[Wetdoba]

back to block game and you don't want ambiguous crossups? ok.

Apparently they would rather have a smaller screen, no zoning, running, a block button, and variations. If only there was some game that let you do all those things already... hmmmmm...
