Haters will say hes a noob saibot copy/paste
Granted, he has a move that screams NS, but that grab w/ the extended Swap assist at :35 was very sweet.

IMO nothing is more disappointing than seeing a NEW DC character who has (essentially) some recycled move from MK or INJ: GAU.

Zatanna's mirrors move and her trait are still the best moves to enter Injustice (IMO).

I'm VERY happy with Swamp Thing. I take it the extended Swamp hands, etc will be his trait...? Oddly enough, I'm very excited to play Robin though.

EDIT: Also, for the Noob-like moves... if they would just use parts of the Swamp, like a tree or vines to hold and hit the opponent it would be better IMO. Having two Swamp Things does scream Noob Saibot.

The IGN comments read something like, "ya boi omg so kewl hype must purchase Capcom hatin' preorder story mode complete edition" in a nutshell.

That's exactly what people on Gamefaqs were doing. The only thing they both have is clones and even they use them differently.

It seems every single time a character has similarities to another character you got people yelling "COPY!" What's next? People calling Captain Cold a copy/paste of Sub-Zero? Or calling Firestorm a copy/paste of Scorpion just because they both have fire powers?

See now I want some more Justice League Dark characters! Swamp Thing looks so awesome, Constantine and Zatanna are needed now!

I remain cold about Swamp Thing because I don't like is design and gameplay.
But it's ok...

Still waiting for Darkseid, Brainiac and Flash gameplay.

Looks zonable. I'm cool with that.

Cool looking character. I can't wait to lock him down full screen.
That's the exact opposite impression I got. He looks like a counter-zoner with long range footsies.

Fullscreen or at least 3/4 screen vine for zoning wars, maybe even punsihing some whiffed zoning tools.

You still think you're going to zone that? What if that clone hits from behind?

Low-hitting log.

Do you see the range on that Jump-In 3? Most zoners probably can't throw anything at Swampy within about halfscreen unless you want to deal with that.

Well... not what I expected but I'm happy lol

Turns out he's more of a delicate flower than I thought, I didn't think one could do something as savage as sharing his own nuts and make it look that romantic.
yeah, he is going to be super popular among people who have no idea what they're doing online. Hopefully his gear options are not too obnoxious so we don't have to deal with an army of neon purple swamp monsters every night.

Holy shit I forgot there even WAS a reveal today, what a great fucking surprise to wake up to

My true loyalty is still with BC for now but i'm glad Swampy is just as lit as I knew he would be

Moveset looks goddamn amazing, I'm inclined to say they represented him better than just about any character so far in either game
