I'm in favor of having to hold back to block, but it makes it a little tricky dealing with characters that have teleports that put them on the other side of the screen. Scorp in the first one and it looks like Supergirl has a similar teleport in this one. Can't wait to find out.
I just thought Supe's and Aqua's hair looked a little silly. But I'm sure it will look amazing a year from now.

I see that point as a plus. The wagers generally just offered a break and ended more often than not a draw or irrelevant once the person in the lead used their's as well. They more or less extended leads more than necessitated comebacks. For Zod it guaranteed screen advantage no matter what he spent. Imagine that Lex vs Zod matchup and then getting put back to fullscreen. Happened in every match vs Zod and even if you weren't suffering an 8-2 matchup it still put you immediately on the defensive once clash ended no matter who you were vs zoners.Some observations:
interactables and stage transitions are obviously back,
intro dialogue is unique to who you're facing just like in MKX,
no sign of clashes that I could see
Supers are like in Injustice 1 with the zoom and the aura on start-up,
Gorilla Grodd makes atrocitus hit himself at 48 secs in lol
I mean I played wonder woman, so I basically didn't know what it was to lose a clash lol. Main reason I want them back is the hype dialogue.
Fortunately they've move the dialogue to the beginning of the match just like MKX so you get to kick off rounds with that instead of wait for it.
But people skip those...
And? If thats how they have fun it doesn't bother me. I'll play my way and they can play their own. Not like I wont have a nice RPG mode that I'll be hearing these in and arcade ladders to hear them in often if folks skip them on me. Folks would've skipped clashes too if they could've. Believe me a loss of momentum was not popular with folks in fights most times. Stage transitions often came under the same scrutiny with folks wanting a "hold to skip" option.
Go back and watch the 2014 E3 trailer for MKX. Certain screen shots don't look as polished as they do now. It's going to look better people just need to relax.
They ARE showing more at E3, during Sony's E3 press conference.
You could argue that the denfensive resource of a 5 second break is what won people matches sure, but I think that's a positive not a negative. Tell me this wasn't hype af (12:35)
Hype sure but how often do you get a clash at 1 second? It was a rare thing and it made it chaos over who would have the life lead at the end and be declared the winner. I wont downplay that match. It was great, but I just feel that with all the moment breakers created in MK9 and MKX that Injustice's Clash system had fewer moments than those systems. I feel NRS is capable of making a more exciting system and I'm hoping for one personally.
GGA MAX.....Where has that guy been, his bane was the truth
