I think that every character in Injustice 2 are awesome and very well done, but this character...
This is, by far, the worst addition to the roster, for me.
He'll gonna be forgotten in tournament and cancer online.
I feel they put good tools in the game to combat this. The Roll is a great example of that.

I believe he was saying these videos are so good, that ESL should consider paying you guys so that they can use them on their channel
yes, that what i wanna say, sorry for my english

yes, but u must spend meter. If u playing meterdepened character, such thing like meter-burn roll will be too much price for close range

Why? You already need to manage mb b3 for pressure. This will do the same for zoning.
For example, u have 1 meter and u play for dat type of character, which without meter do 15% damage. YES, u can roll for dat meter, but do low damage then. Or wait for a moment and do a full-combo with dat 1 meter

@PND_Ketchup B12D3 string on hit doesn't allow for a followup with b1 midscreen?
It seems that it doesn't pop up so high as it did in the video you posted from Insomnia where you comboed from it.

If it can't be continued with a combo and it's also unsafe on block, I don't see many uses to that b12d3 over b12u3.

B12D3 did not launch anymore. However it seemed safer on block.

Thanks for the video k&m, good work as always.

Imho, regardless of how powerful he really is, he will be nerfed during the first 2-3 months of Inj2. This kind of character is far too annoying for the majority of people.

So? Canary will hit u and put u in a standing. Reset with OH, Low, launching command grab.

I hope he is a top 3 character.
I'm not trying to say it's overpowered or comparing it to other characters, I'm saying that design has me worried. MKX was a 50/50 fest and a lot of players (myself included) hated it. I want all characters to have strong tools, but this 50/50 nonsense really needs to go, whether it's Deadshot, Canary, or anyone else.

If I beat my opponent, I want it to be because I outplayed them, not because they lost a coin toss, and the same for when they beat me.

Awesome breakdown. Can't wait to see 999999 deadshots online!

Off topic - seeing the way his trait works has me rather salty. Why do most of these guys have the option to choose the trait effect that they think will best suit them for the situation, but wowo had to roll the dice? LAME

It is better this way
I like how people are hyped for Flash and Black Canary, but think Deadshot looks too potato. Like Deadshot's keep away HAS to be ridiculous since there are tons of anti-zoning tools. MB roll is universal, most of the cast has an anti-zoning tool at the ready. And of course there is using your brain and working your way in slowly. It's astounding that people feel cheeted when a zoner kills them because they were too impatient to work their way on, but dont have an aneurism when they are killed by a straight guess on a 50/50.

@PND_Ketchup Quick question: His trait only affects his wrist shots, but does that apply to the wrist-shots that are a part of his strings (not his specials)?

[edit] Nevermind, I see you answered this already. Thanks!

As long as the chip isn't insane. Remember when Deathstroke did 3% on block (or 6% with meterburn)? By the time you worked your way in, you were down at least 15%, and then had to guess against his low b1 or overhead b4 or take 30%+ damage and be sent back to full-screen.
