Robin and Dr. Fate WatchTower Breakdowns

Beware my power.
what im seeing is a solid fireball - some really interesting specials, but interesting does not necessarily mean good. brute force can kind of win. He's going to require the ability to actually gain quite a bit of momentum to be effective.

it's all dependent on how capable he is of containing op offense, and maintaining momentum. it depends how quickly he can get out his specials, how easily he can get away and space at midrange and deal with jumping.
All good points. Personally I won't have any issues with how he plays. He's great

Fate looks fucking sick.

Superboy is 10.

Pretty sure the first chapter of Injustice 2 is a flashback so that can explain why Damien can be young without messing shit up.
What do you mean? Injustice started with him young then by the time you see him in game as Nightwing he was 18 inj2 is 2 years later I believe so he's 20. Maybe he reverted back to Robin he doesn't have to be young all of a sudden

Exactly. I really don't think any of us want a Fate with strong 50/50 mixups and a bonkers corner game, that would be way too much. We need strong characters that allow for different play styles, not OP, double S-Tier tyrants that make other play styles obsolete. And even if you do, there are too many players that would hate that situation.

I have to chuckle and scratch my head, reading comments that question Fate's zoning tools, and whether or not you can be creative, or unpredictable with him. Lookit, you've got more than enough to mix it up from full screen, so if you are predictable, that's on YOU as a player.

He has orbs that he can stop anywhere, at anytime for one bar of meter. He has projectiles with a downward slant, that will be hard to duck under at certain parts of the screen. He has tracking ankhs that can basically threaten to blow up the opponent for going in too hard. The bastard can HEAL HIMSELF and that's not the end of what he can do.

Yes, you will have to be on point with your spacing and anti-air options, because you're not strong in that department. But we're lucky to have a Fate with that flaw, because if that wasn't there, the Day 1 nerf threads would be totally justified.
Yep lol. Plus people are already bitching over him as you've noticed, not just on here but elsewhere the stream was hilarious people saying "he's broken, too OP nerf" lol but then this is almost every new character. I agree, if he had super fast, good 50/50's he'd be too much solid up close, solid far with little weaknesses but I like how he's got this Godly playstyle from a far but while not dominate up close just not BAD either with that move that pushes you away a little. Hey I'll take that over 50/50 or frame traps etc since he is about space, zoning afterall.

Oh I bet the creativity will be there, there will be players who try set up pressure with the orb, other players who will just stay back and play more defensive perhaps hiding behind the orb and healer etc, then you'll have those who use the gears utilizing the seeking orb similar to Sektor's missiles that allow for a more offensive, pressure approach. One 50/50 scenario I could see is him using the orb then dashing in and using one of his overheads as the orb hits lol. That could be fun but yeah otherwise definitely not a combo and 50/50 heavy character which I'm totally fine with. That combined with the tracking ankhs will be pretty tough to deal with no doubt. hehe:D But yeah I mean he has to have some weakness I suppose, everyone should to a degree. He'll probably be nerfed I'm sure lol I just hope they don't kill him...
 
Dr.Fate looks super fun with that unblockable combo starter, and with his zoning you could easliy get somebody to turtle and get out his onks, then you can pressure with his trait and fuck people up with those unblockable onk setups, looks sick.

He doesn't have to be, I'm just saying if he appears young, it may be because that's the flashback version which apparently happens. Gear could let them change up his appearance a bit in that regard.

It is better this way
I am wondering why Damian is Robin again instead of Nightwing. In the comics Dick and Alfred wanted Damian to be Nightwing, Dick and Alfred both forgave him for what he did. The game makes it seem like he tried to replace Dick, but that was actually his best way of honoring him.

His first appearance in the IJ2 story mode is as Robin back when he and Batman were still working together. It would not make sense for him to be Nightwing, since he and Batman had long broke ties by then. NW Damian will probably be an alt, that appears later in the story just like he was in IJ1.

That's true they haven't showed Damian as Robin in one of the "present" cutscenes

I cant get over the fact that Trait makes Fate's grab comboable.

I was think that if you go for a setup wofh orb into throw could orb bounce them for an extention? I feel like some how his grab will be comboable mid screen. But might take resources.

Also Dropping symbols on oki is nearly free, see as they are unblockable. To drop them on knockdown and block the wakeup. Once pillar drops afterwards you go in for pressure or a combo. We'll see though.

So many moves to try ams.setups for days. If RushdownZoning doesnt work with Supergirl I can do for ZoningOkiSetups with Sir Fate. Zonedown with Firestorm, Rushdown wigh Robin or hopefully Captain Atom gets dropped and he's a GrappleZoner with ass teir basics and combo string but the best command grabs and mid tier zoning in game.
