Honestly from what I've seen, the folks in winners have all looked really good. My 3 favorites to win are Sonic, Tekken Master, and Dragon

Can you post the characters they used?

I haven't been watching sadly but seeing Noobe in there is great since I know he plays Cheetah but does anyone knoe if he actually used her there/all the way?

Don't know about all the way but he used her against Bio.

Lots of dashes, lunge cancels and 112.

He got away with murder on the high string but he played great and hit-confirmed everything into good damage.

Too bad YOU... will DIE!
the match I saw Dragon was using Aquaman,
He counterpicked Aquaman against Catwoman, but has used Ivy otherwise.

Noobe is ALL Cheetah. His set against Biohazard's Bane was the hypest of the night imo.

Fujin!
So, quick character usage numbers I put together quickly (hopefully I didn't miscount):

Played Characters:
  • Batman: 3
  • Black Adam: 6 (tied #3)
  • Deadshot: 6 (tied #3)
  • Atrocitus: 4
  • Aquaman: 7 (#2)
  • Superman: 8 (#1)
  • Blue Beetle: 1
  • Poison Ivy: 3
  • Cheetah: 1
  • Green Lantern: 1
  • Bane: 2
  • Harley Quinn: 2
  • Catwoman: 4
  • Scarecrow: 2
  • Green Arrow: 4
  • Robin: 1
  • Gorilla Grodd: 1
  • Firestorm: 1
  • Darkseid: 1
  • Black Canary: 1
  • Doctor Fate: 1
Missing Characters:
  • Wonder Woman
  • Supergirl
  • The Flash
  • Brainiac
  • Swamp Thing
  • Cyborg
  • Captain Cold (sniff sniff)
  • The Joker
My personal thoughts (because why not?):

I'm kinda disappointed about who's playing who. Obviously I really wanted to see Sonic play Captain Cold, and it kinda sucks seeing him go straight into picking up Deadshot and Black Adam (who both currently -- obviously it's still very early -- seem kinda OP or at least very strong). But I also wanted to see Pig's Doctor Fate and/or Darkseid. I mean I heard he was going to start playing Atrocitus but he seemed very excited about those other characters and I just wanted to see what he would do with them.

BUT! It's to be expected. It's very early so obviously a lot of players are going to choose either legacy characters or characters that were in the beta. I'm sure we will see stuff for characters like Captain Cold, Doctor Fate, etc, in the future when people have had more time to play and learn those characters.

Really though, I'm just tired of seeing so much Aquaman/Superman/Black Adam. I'm fine with legacy/beta characters, but I really just can't get excited for more gameplay of Top Injustice 1 characters.

EDIT: Updated the lists with new information. I will try to update it if I hear any additional information.

EDIT 2: Well actually it seems that Pig did play Doctor Fate at one point. My bad.

My personal thoughts (because why not?):

Firstly, I'm surprised that Supergirl, Black Canary, and Doctor Fate aren't being played. I figured that we would see at least one of those in Top 16 considering how popular they seem, but I guess not.

Secondly, I'm kinda disappointed about who's playing who. Obviously I really wanted to see Sonic play Captain Cold, and it kinda sucks seeing him go straight into picking up Deadshot and Black Adam (who both currently -- obviously it's still very early -- seem kinda OP or at least very strong). But I also wanted to see Pig's Doctor Fate and/or Darkseid.

Mind if I use this for the article tomorrow?
