The Atom Revealed for Injustice 2!

and you guys thought we had low profiling issues before.
I am really excited to see how they balance this character. Shrinking seems vaguely OP in this game depending on how it's done.
I doubt any of that will be an issue of any kind... my guess is that he only shinks or grows during gap-less strings... As far as the game is concerned, the shirink or grow is exactly like any 2nd or thrid button hit in a string that can not be interrupted. So while cosmetically it looks awesome it is functionally identical to all the other strings in the game.

why are they releasing gameplay of him now?
Also he looks like he could potentially be the most annoying character to play against but the most fun to play as

I'm really confused by this. Was this mistakenly posted? Are they going to say Atom was in FP2 trailer just on the rocket Manta shoots or something? Why this trailer before hellboy? It also seemed a bit rushed compared to their usual trailers

EDIT: Nvm, Paulo just confirmed it is just a sneak peak at FP3

Technically that's Ray Palmer on the CW. This one seems to be Ryan Choi, which is pretty cool in my view!
For sure, and I'm glad it's Ryan because he's more fun IMO.

You get what I mean, though! The CW has an investment in the Atom as a property, rather than in Hellboy.

It's an FP3 sneak peek I'm sure, it was an exclusive for the CW's chasing the cup deal.

Awesome trailer indeed, I kinda envisioned Atom's playstyle like that, it will be really interesting what he's truly capable.

NRS you did again, huge kudos!

Looks cool but whats the limitation of this guys powers? If he can shrink to the size of an atom, why not stay that size or slightly bigger, jump in his nemesis's body and destroy their brains or organs?
Because super heroes don't murder people from the inside?!

Was kinda hoping he'd be small the entire time. It would be pretty goofy but hilarious trying to fight his tiny hitbox.

Also, this early FP3 sneak peak kinda tells me something. To me, it seems like Inj2 is losing interest....

Hopefully his shrink moves aren't just fancy animations on strings with fake "grabs" that are actually just regular hits that play an animation if it connects.

He's gonna have some weird hitboxes (invincibility?) if not though.

How? IJ2 is at an excellent place right now. So they should a tease of character early and not a full trailer, like it has never done before.

To me it seems like it was definitely planned to generate more hype and conversation on a game that hasn't been doing well viewership wise. Also, I remember seeing a statistic on active players on console compared to release, and it wasn't a good statistic. Obviously that will always happen as a game ages, but I'm just saying, NRS is definitely aware of what is going on and trying to improve the situation.

So the views drop by a bit, that's not a big deal, like I said in the other thread, they just wanted to tease the fans, and they would've probably do it regardless. Plus it's not like other games do any better.

I dont like how he looks and his gameplay looks stupid . Damn dlcs in injustice 2 sucks , only red hood is good one and maybe starfire . I hope hellboy will be cool .
Well someone is really out of touch.

wrong.. it was release now for one reason only... to sync with the CW Networks new seasons of the "arrow" universe... which you might not now with Atom IJ2 represents major characters in all the shows. Supergirl, Arrow, Flash and Legends of Tomorrow. That is why it is only a tease by being so short, as it is to early for KP3. but NOW is the time to sync it with the TV Shows and I'm also pretty sure it was originally released on cw'w/e where the challenge cup is shown.

Damn, the Rorschach hate is so real..I will say it would probably just be better to make him like a deadshot shader or Red Hood something like that.
