Scarecrow: We Want Him: Nothing Else To Say:






To begin, I care little for the, "Too many Batman characters" line, take it somewhere else. Personally, I've believed Scarecrow could be a potential Fighting Game character once he debuted in the original Arkham Asylum game. His appearance & design in Arkham Knight cemented that belief. Some may say that Skill-set wise, Scarecrow has never really been depicted as a master of martial arts outside of some renditions such as his Noose-Around-The-Neck appearance in the "New Batman Animated' Series. Or his Scythe wielding version in Batman: The Brave & The Bold.

Generally, outside of his Fear Toxin he's depicted as being relatively harmless when it comes to physical combat. Of course that all goes out the window in Fighting Games where characters that would normally stand no chance are given equal footing (in the idea of the game)

As far as possible play style I've always imagined him having something of an MK9 Freddy set. Long range claw attacks with maybe a DOT effect such as F.A.N.G or Venomous D'Vorah. His trait with the Fear Toxin could have one of multiple effects (reversing inputs, slowing meter gain, slowing character etc) Almost like Valentine in Skullgirls who gets access to multiple effects based on whatever poison she loads into the syringe.

There are infinite possibilities with the character and regardless of Tier he would be my official Day 1 Main. Of course if he's terrible, i'll have a Top Tier backup. But he'd be my central focus.

I mean yea I'll take him for sure. He's a cool character also to the "he's dead in the injustice comic book" we might as well throw that out the window, this is NRS we're talking about. If they want a character in this game, they're going in. End of story.

Breakdown of what i want. Make him Freddy Kreuger with a command grab and possible DoT damage. Done job.

Low damage ender that injects opponent with fear gas to stacking levels, giving Scarecrow access to new specials each time. Like the opponent is having a super bad trip and scarecrow gets some crazy ass projectiles or something like Inferno Scorpion's demons.
SEE?! This character has so much potential. I want Swamp Thing more but if I don't get Swamp Thing but I get Scarecrow i certainly won't be extremely bummed (i will still be bummed tho)

Jeez he was already a forgettable stage transition, and now you want him to be a character? How greedy can some people get!!!

I kinda hope they stay away from the Arkham stuff to be honest, I love his AK design to death but if any character is suited for a so-edgy-it-almost-becomes-actually-cool NRS style redesign it's him.

my first thought was immediately that we'd be getting scythe scarecrow but from there i don't know what to expect, there's seriously just too much potential in fear gas to try and predict much
