Most humble shit talker ever!!!
Dont ask me for a source im just going by what i read off here

but didn't Hector say there be no unlockables??? if so 24 it is

and hopefully those DLC figures are just generic place holder cause it doesn't look like Swamp Thing is there

I think there will be 2 or 4 unlcokables. I cant see a reason why they would take out 4 characters AND Tag Team. It just doesnt make sense. WHY DO THAT!?!?
The time, money, and effort went into other content and things like interactions. That's what I believe.

I think this is it, and I can be satisfied with that.

There may be fewer characters, but there is such a tremendous variety there, and the more I hear about them the more I feel as though there's an equally tremendous amount of thought and work put into them individually in a way that outclasses MK9 (I say this as a big fan of that game, of course). That doesn't even include the base gameplay design with mechanics that are either new to fighting games or at the very least new to NRS's. Stack upon that the variety of modes and options available within those modes and I think it's pretty absurd to say that Injustice is in anyway lacking in content compared to MK9 because of a fewer quantity of characters.

20-30 its all the same to me.

Less then 20 would be too little, and more then 30 would be too much.

I'm just sad that Killer Frost got in over Captain Cold.

At least could have included Firestorm to make Killer Frost make some sense, plus Firestorm has AMAZING powers, dude could make such a cool fighting game character, visually at least.

I understand that Killer frost is in the game, that's obvious. But what makes everyone so sure that the other mysetery person is Ares, heck he died in the prequel comic.

I don't know... because of the FUCKING ICE BLAST IN THE FIRST TRAILER WE EVER SAW!!!! I swear, if that ice blast just turns out to be Green Arrow's ice arrows I'm gonna be so pissed.
I wouldn't be pissed. I'd laugh my ass off.

I've gotten to the point where being trolled by Boon is actually enjoyable.

Also did no one else notice when talking about DLC he said something like "First set of DLC chars"

If the first 4 do well, I think they might do another season of characters.

I know they said the same thing with MK9 and we didn't get another batch. But I think that's because I believe they already threw in the towel on DLC not expecting it to do as well as it did. And that's also why they said before that we'll "get more than MK9 this time around"

Not saying it's definite but I don't think the 4 DLC is the absolute final 4.

I hate to be "that guy" but pics or didn't happen, any screen caps?
Mods have said no pics or threads about it. Honestly, I don't think even mentioning the name was wise. :\

They're doing it to protect the person in question.

I'd rather have 24 balanced and complete characters rather then 30 characters that could be unbalanced.

That playstation magazine named him alongside Black Adam (confirmed), Aquaman (confirmed), Shazam (confirmed), and Sinestro (confirmed).

"We thought it might be a cool challenge to take characters like ARES and turn them into a character that people whould say 'oh my god, this is an awesome badass comic book character'".

Plus it's been confirmed that the boss at the end of ladder mode is just a suped up version of a playable character, so this "he's just a boss" bullshit doesn't apply.

Never thought he was just a boss, I just heard his name being tossed around so many times that I was curious where it all came from, but yeah, thanks for the info.
