We have our first taste of gameplay and it looks like a LOT of his combos have made a return! He should hopefully feel very natural to everyone who played him before which I really like. Trident rush is back and from the deep is a little updated but it's back too. Curious as to how armor will affect those because the gameplay trailer showed the tentacles grabbing your opponent but the meter burn here showed lighting bouncing them. Just something I noticed.

Hype is real

All hail the king

Aquaman seems to be unchanged in terms of move set.
Weird considering how MKX characters who also appeared in MK9 had completely different normals, strings and even had special moves gained/removed.

He will be a top tier again judging by the fact that his footsies are back) but I would love to see his Water Bearer hand as a gear item that gives him new moves

Two quick questions for the Aquaman players from Inj1.

If AQ remains mostly the same, but his Trident Rush is punishable easily on block in both regular and EX (which seems to be the case now), then what will be the purpose of ever using the EX version? And how much will this effect him if it is this way?

Depends on how good offense is in Inj2, in the first game he was good because of how ridiculous his defense and footsies were, trident rush was icing on the cake imo.
If it's punishable in Inj2 then I guess it's only use will be for closing out rounds with chip.

Is there footage of Trident Rush being punished on block?

I'm hoping we get some full armor chestpieces. All I've seen so far have been partial. I want a classic looking aquaman, dammit!

Also wish we'd see some more gameplay. Everyone else has gotten some new moves so it's killing me to not know what we have to work with

Aquaman is probably one of those characters who looks very canon to comics. Blond hair, blue eyes, tall. While Batman looks like mix of Christian Bale and Batfleck lol.
