I think Green Lantern will be that character who controls the air from any position he's in. Air missile ram, AA throw with a ridiculous range on it, missiles that start over his head, etc. That's what he's looking like.

Grundy impressed me a ton. That puddle trap is going to be hellish for zoners who have no air projectiles, and I wouldn't be surprised if Flash has a ton of problems with Grundy due to that possibly stopping run. Also, his tools up close are SCARY it seems.

Surprising that Aquaman's trident throw wasn't shown once here. But from what they've shown...he doesn't seem to be a ranged character even with that...moreso a poking character. That Donatello-style trident stab will probably end up doing a ton of chip damage. And his water shield looks to absorb everything.

Cyborg looks really strong...so much mobility, and such fast projectiles. Plus the target missiles being there. I'm wondering about his up close game, though. They didn't really show his speed there...and last we saw in the earlier builds, he looked slow. Wonder if he's all zone and mobility.

I am really digging Green Lantern. A lot of horizontal space control and a sick AA.

Also, he has a low starter that combos, and I am beginning to think that ram could be an overhead.

I think they all looked great. I Knew Grundy wasn't going to disappoint. People were already putiing a label on him like he wasn't going to be so good. Green Lanterns winning pose got me crazy hype. Cyborg is going to be a beast.

Aquaman actually looks good. I don't see how people are disappointed. This is aquaman we are talking about..It could've been worse..

I like how people are assuming that this is a great white shark..Maaaaaan this is the DC Universe bro.. Theres no telling whats in that water..sheesh

hype. Hype. HYPE

And also, to anyone saying that Grundy looked bad before and now looks amazing; he has some of the same moves. Grundy has always looked awesome, and from the day he was first revealed I knew he was going to be a boss at terrorizing people all across the stage and powerslamming them into oblivion.

I absolutely cannot wait for the salt this will induce.

Also, that manor stage is sick. Injustice's stock is rising.

Hmm ya becasue nothing says "balance" like a 9% 6 frame projectile 2% chip on block, or ya know like the three of the top five characters being zoners....
Kabal is tops because of his insane pressure tactics more than his zoning, Kitana is strong in both departments, Freddy is the same, Kenshi is probably the one that can't be played as both rushdown and zoning.

I totally agree, I'm a Cage player lol... Also Soyna is pretty hard to zone from what I have seen... great movment speed, d4 for miles, armored kartwheel, dive kick, ect...
ok so now you are a hypocrite lol

Zoning isnt mindless , if it were so easy everyone would be doing it and winning. Most dont including Kabals and Kenshis

Can you imagine the tourney chant when doing a combo with Grundy?

Anyone notice that green lantern had a charge move that propelled him forward? Did he interact with the portal in the corner or was that in his moveset?

Also, just noticed his projectile (the one shot from the ring, the small one) launches. I wonder if that was the normal version on it, or the ex version.

I have to disagree, his IAGB and insane zoning is undoubtably his best tools and is what crushes the majority of the cast.... The NDC is just the icing on the cake in

@ 2:02 in the Grundy vs Lantern video, GL looks like he has a buff move as well (charges his ring in the lantern) He glows green.

Take out NDC and Kabal would not be a top 3 character. People can overcome the IAGB, not easily but they can be overcome. Kabal is so scary because, no matter what distance you are, he can force you into an unfavorable situation. Without NDC his pressure is ridiculously weak and he'd be getting eaten up by rushdown characters constantly.

I don't think he took a single step in that match, so you couldn't really see his walking speed. His forward dashes did look better than Aquaman's though.
