OH MA GAWDDDDD

 

[Rampage254]

So that pic of Killer Croc was just a stage interaction.

 

[RiBBz22]

OMFG OMFG BATMAN SAYS "STAY DOWN".

SMOKE SMOKE SMOKE SMOKE

Batman Lin Kuei?

 

[T.roll]

And the pic. of batman looking up at a huge ship that everyone thought was in the story was actually a stage transition as well.

I would really like to see what blocking looks like in this game...

The constant camera changes kind of puts me off a bit. Even though most seemed to be at the end of a combo or something, it still confused me on where they would be positioned at the end etc...

Did anyone else have to restart the batman video over because they were still thinking about the sick stage transition in wonder woman's fight?

Yo these combos look so boss! And dat first Mortal Kombat movie reference in Batman vs Bane... <3 NRS!

 

[xKhaoTik]

"GET DOWN HERE!!!!!!!"

 

[Rampage254]

I'm also glad you can turn off stage interactions because they take way too long. And I wanna see more of Bane, it seemed like most of the stuff he did in the video was off a stage interaction

 

[Fred Marvel]

this was cool hopefully next week we see GL and Joker gameplay

 

[Johnny2d]

I'm having such a hard time deciding who I want to play! I wasn't that interested in Batman but the more I hear and see the more I think he might be an option for me. Looking forward to seeing Shazam now. I was hoping I would like Wonder Woman but from everything I've seen I just can't see it working out with me and her.

 

[RiBBz22]

Weakest victory for WW ever. She just gets done getting super'd then is the winner off of a throw lmao. Harley's combos are so swag, can't wait to play her.

I don't think it will be like that in game. This is more like a cinematic replay of the fight.

 

[Prinz]

If I smiled like a child watching Bane, I imagine his fans' reactions.

 

[REDRUM]

someone please make a .gif of that combo into super that Harley did...

 

[NB Semi Evil Ryu]

I'm thinking that the camera changes were done for theatrical effect. I highly doubt that these will happen in the middle of a match.

Edit: Other than the transitioning between stages, of course.

 

[Buffalo]

Injustice confirmed for Hype as fuck and NRS Manface is in full effect.

 

[trufenix]

hey look at that, Bane blocked for a second. Guess no tournament players like these characters.

 

[Shadowknight1]

Harley did get off to a strong start though. That hammer is a pretty hard hitter. Still. Didn't seem like Croc, Penguin, Riddler, and Two-Face were happy to see her.

1:45 of Batman fight... Bats does a KUNG LAO SPIN with pop up!

 

[Euphoric]

This game looks so GODLIKE, MK engine and combo system is the best that I like in terms of juggles and combos. So much stylin on the stage interactions and transitions, omg, that looks hella neat and creative, the transitions didn't even take that long IMO.

GOTY.

 

[BDMao88]

I don't think it will be like that in game. This is more like a cinematic replay of the fight.

If i was playing the game simply for fun I would enjoy it because it gave it a nice comic book feel to the game.

In the Batman vs Bane, at 00:36 - 00:37 Bane blocks Batman's beat-down (aliteration ftw!) and then gets a full punish on him. Confirmed, Batman's kick combo is unsafe on block.

I'll see if I can do a full analysis for both videos and put them in the respective character forums. Starting with...BATMAN

Gameplay almost seems like an amalgamation of Scorpion and KL with SZ slide.
