I am hype to play this game, but, t's really tough for me to say 5. I'm not a zoner and I'm not really 100% rushdown either. I want to get in and out. I want to play my opponent from a certain distance and whiff punish. I might zone or try to defend with pokes, if appropriate. I might rush down if appropriate or necessary, but really... footsies man. That's where I'm happiest.
I'd like a character with good range, but also one that has a good forward and backward walk speed, so Scarecrow is probably a no. I also don't want to jump around all the time, so Cheetah and Grodd are probably no-gos (at least at the start) as I see them being 100% rush em down. A forward advancing string is great. Anti-Air options are a must...
Here's who I'm looking at now *and if I absolutely have to say 5, this is it.
1) Wonder Woman: I see her kind of like Ryu. A little bit of everything. Her back 3 advances and looks like a good punisher and starter. She has shield bash as a punisher as well, with great corner carry, and a shield DP, that may be slow, but useful.
2) Atrocitus: B2, 3 is the string that really caught my attention. Whiff punish city. Blood lift can also catch them from anywhere. Anti-Air blood spit. Punch walk looks really fun. Yeah, Atrocitus. Really close with WW right now. Might be number 1
3) Aquaman: Apparently, his back dash is bad and that's concerning. Still, great range, and I didn't play him in INJ1, so I won't mind the changes.
4) Blue Beetle: Good range with trait. the two stances intrigue me. I'm concerned about his damage and wonder if he has any advancing strings. Most ppl in the beta just zoned with him.
5) Brainiac: Haven't really seen enough, tbh. His reach is obviously great, and his anti air looks good. I just have to double check his movement.
