Injustice @ PAX East - Review of Saturday's Display w/ in-game options, ladder modes and more

[STORMS]

In the segment today with Hector and Derik from NetherRealm Stuidos at PAX East, they gave some insight on a few things about the game. They noted that they will be going over a few S.T.A.R. Labs missions tomorrow, which is similar to MK9's Challenge Tower, except much different. Nothing new was revealed today. however a few details about modes and other aspects of the game were highlighted.


UPDATE:
Thanks to the On Blast Show, they've uploaded the Injustice part of PAX to YouTube

• 15 stages, 24 characters is what the game will have on April 16th. Hector noted that some of those 15 stages are more like multiple stages in one. At least four DLC are planned for now*

• tomorrow is STAR Labs (MK9 challenge tower)

Battles will be multiple "ladders" i.e. "Heroes, Villains, Poison (bleeding out while fighting) and more and they are basically arcade ladders.

Display of "Button configuration" when pausing

Display of AI options

Display of "Practice Options"

Display of combos and FRAME DATA

Tune in tomorrow at 2PM EST for the S.T.A.R. Labs missions preview!

There are 22 confirmed characters (21 show on the IGAU site and we know Black Adam is #22)

Soooo we will get 2 more "core" characters and then for sure another 4 for DLC (at least)


So its for sure at least 28 chars

It's Friday, sir.

This is looking awesome. I'm really happy about how the pause menu options are looking and what they've done with button configs. Can't wait to see some more gameplay

 

[hellbly]

the frame data is fantastic

 

[Treadmill]

So I guess no frame data on normals and pokes? Not that I am ungrateful it just dawned on me...

 

[MagicMan357]

Looks great

So there is a throw button. I heard it was going to be L+H. If I am using an arcade stick the default setup would be:

(L) (M) (H) (Throw)
(P) (I) (Meter) (Stance)

I -believe- it's been said that L+H is one of a few shortcuts in the game designed to ensure that stick players can perform every function in the game with just stick buttons.

you can use either, like mk

Okay great! that makes it so much easier! I dont really use the 4p and 4k buttons on my stick, so that would have thrown me off considerably.

i noticed they dont have the cancel advantage in the frame data.
i know we'll be able to find out gaps in strings by going through them one by one in the new sick sounding pratice mode but be nice to have the data there

 

[Phoenix90]

Super stoked that they have Art and Josh to help with this game

MMmm I hear you but i think the little frame data we saw today is "real"... It looked real at least... The old stuff we got were almost all 15 frames for everything (since it was placeholders)


But lets see

 

[IceNine]

We also don't know where 6 frames stands compared to the rest of the cast on average. There just might be faster jabbing all around.

What I mean is it still could be old, they have been tweaking the game to this day and balancing it. I'm not doubting it or anything let's just not get too excited only to be disappointed coming Apr 16 lol. If it is real though that is boss lol.

also i REALLY like hearing arturo say,

Arturo: "I'm letting you guys know zoning is very strong in injustice. "

 

[MKF30]

Interesting, very good! tons of options wow...

I'm so changing my "meter burn" LB with Throwing "RB" and not sure what "Hard" is, hard punch? Will have to change that too. Zoning very strong? Nice, I'm a zoning and turtler player hehe.
