Injustice 2 Watch Tower Stream Recap w/ Robin Gameplay, new select screen, Batman stance and more

Fujin!
Wow, so the game actually got even more colorful! Glad to see that Deadshot has his traditional white mask as the default now (I felt like there was too much red before), and judging by Wonder Woman's select box she now has new default armor like some of the other characters.

At this rate we may need to try out some "Gear Tournaments" sometime because some of this shit is hot. Not certain how it'd work locally but I'm betting we could arrange some good online tournies here with it! Probably should have folks register their loadouts before tourney day though, but I'd be pumped to try it!

What a day. What a lovely day.
I'm actually fairly surprised that they went with Batman and Atrocitus. Maybe not Atro as much, but we certainly know what to expect from Batman by now.

Would have much rather learned about Blue Beetle, Wonder Woman's new trait, etc. Oh well, always next stream I guess lol

Bats' stance in the last picture looks a lot like Scorpion's.

If it's like in the Beta, then I'll try Wonder Woman and Aquaman. :)

same thing. you're basically saying hey there's this animation in the game you're never gonna see in legit play. It's annoying but it is what it is. They still gone take my money
Like, so should they make a super ghetto game that's just terribly balanced (and impossible to control) cause batman has 5 different projectiles and 3 parries or pull a Capcom and just deliberately put less shit in the game because the fgc can't self regulate?

I think it would be really nice if there was some player or scene (even online) that came up with some "reasonable" gear loadouts like variations and we just adopt them as standards at tournaments. Good luck getting any two players to agree on whats appropriate though.

I honestly would dig it if we could tie gear to our warner bros ID's or something so that folks might be able to log in at locals onto a machine with their profiles or something to let them find and setup their gear quickly once in the char select menu. So long as they login using their profile it'd be doable for streams and such (but waaaaaaay too time consuming for majors lol).

Robin was cool but the highlight for me was the gear system. I love the customization this time around between the gear properties, the look, and special moves. Having multiple load outs saved for every character is a nice touch too. I expect I'll be playing this title for a long long while.

Robin isn't new. He was in the story trailer. I was hoping for someone new. The gameplay shown was pretty sweet though. Aside from that...

The gear system sounds awesome! HYPE LEVEL RAPIDLY RISING!

Did Boon mention my boy Doomsday at all?

When they went to do the "Lantern Battle" I saw the stage name as " Atlantis ( Trench Queen Nursery) I got excited cause I saw Queen and thought Mera might have a chance of being a character. But its just referring to the Trench species like in the stage transition. :(

shade against marvel players is unnecessary. we shouldn't have to ban stuff they put in their game.
secondly i'd prefer if it just wasn't in the game at all but if it's just different types of the same special move then i won't care

I don't think the "ability slots" are tied to gear. I wonder if you'll still be able to choose from a variety of abilities/moves in tournament mode almost like you can choose supers in sfiv. It could honestly act like a mini variation system.

Unless I'm mistaken,it seemed like the ability slots were independent of the gear slots. Unless you come across abilities while playing the game just like you obtain various pieces of armor.

They aren't tied to gear, but they are still unlocked just like gear (progression or drops). You aren't just gonna get a kustom kombat list of options, you'll have to grind (or wait for the inevitable optimal build guides) and equip what you have as you see fit.

That's disappointing. I don't like the idea of having to earn moves. Well not even earn them, but come upon them randomly through luck.

I could see that shit for dumb stuff like "10% more meter build for batsman Arkham gauntlets" or whatever but for whole move sets? I hate it.

And I don't care what they're claiming now, you will definitely be able to purchase all the moves and possibly all but the legendary gear. There's no shot nrs doesn't take advantage of the micro transaction phenomenon

Deathwing looks pretty cool.

Nightstroke might be even better.
