"GOOD THING WE'RE PROFESSIONALS."
"Floyd Lawton is “the” human arsenal, his aim lethal from any range. Having escaped imprisonment during the Regime, he now enters the fray as an expert assassin for hire, forced to contend with the fact that Grodd has come into possession of the detonator to the Personal Explosive Device implanted in his head."

Good 'ol Floyd Lawton (A.K.A Will Smith) Joins the roster of Injustice 2 as the infamous "Deadshot."

Will this character be the replacement to everyone's favorite master assassin Deathstroke? Or will he go down his own path and bring zoning back to the golden ages. Whatever the case, discuss all things about Deadshot here!

.... they mostly come at night. Mostly.
Deadshot is more cool than Deathstroke, but, no problem if either 1) Deadshot replaces Deathstroke in Injustice 2; or if 2) both come out in the same game (in this scenario, we count on NRS being competent to differ them from each other).

I'm so hyped for this character you have no idea!! This is the character I've been wanting since injustice 1. I'm going to work hard to break this character down when he comes out and represent him in tourneys. I can't wait till April 2017!

That's awesome to hear! I've always liked Deadshot more than Deathstroke because I have a thing for snipers which Deadshot is definitely known for. With that said I wish you luck Tournament when IJ2 launches!

Ok guys so I'm labbing HQT Predator (4th/5th main next to DV), and I noticed Deadshot also has a red laser eyesight.

What are the chances that Deadshot will have cancel pressure/mind games similar to Predator?

It is better this way
I think Deadshot will be badass. He looks completely new and original as far as playstyle, but if I had to guess how he would play, I think it will be an Erron Black / Deathstroke / Predator type of archetype.

The world's least hype player
If he is anything like deathstroke he will have a good zoning and mix up game but lack good long range footsie normals. I have a feeling full auto players will gravitate to the character.

MK1 is the best MK period.
He's in finally. Now complete my rotation with static cyborg and poison ivy I'll buy. He's going to be nasty corner character I can see it.

They love my Grayson
Me too and how someone told me red hood is similar to slade smh. He even said redhood bodies slade lmao. Reminiscent of ppl saying cyborg is being replaced by blue beetle. KYS to those fools. Deathstroke will be in most likely a dlc with JL movie up ahead.
Definitely.....Deathstroke is such a hit in comics and in the DC world....theres no way he'll be excluded from this game. The demand will be too high.

From Takeda to Robin
If this character plays similar to Erron Black, I will be sure to give Deadshot a try. My biggest problem right now however is that I never played IGAU 1 and I have no idea who to start out with. It also hurts that there seems to be quite a lack of characters with metal whips :DOGE


Regardless, I can't wait to see what this character has in store for us.

We know his trait is a form of enhanced bullets like Ancestral. One does more damage with fire, one knocks the opponent full screen and one steals meter.

Yea i just saw that there is new footage. Dont have time to watch it what does his trait do?
Basically his trait seems to be he can switch between 3 different kinds of shots on his wrist gun (he activates the trait then can switch his bullet type for a short amount of time before it goes on cool down) the bullets seem to be higher damage, meter drain and the last one being what seems to be more hit advantage.

His chip damage looks insane, and it looks like he's got some good normals. He's a Jacqui/Erron/Deathstroke hybrid, it seems. So far I'm very happy with what I see, though I'm already dreading the inevitable bitching a kneejerk nerfs...
