Hey everybody -- I was asked to put this in a new thread (hey @Generalbit); so here it is: my list of how each community currently feels about their character:
- Black Adam: Heavily Downplayed ("Hey man, he has bad matchups"!)
- Aquaman: Aggresively Downplayed ("It's so hard!")
- Atrocitus: Moderately Downplayed
- Superman: Downplayed beyond all belief ("He loses to like 85 characters!")
- Batman: His community would like to downplay, but the rest of the community isn't gonna let them finish their speech
- Catwoman: Quietly hoping to stay under the radar. May need to downplay eventually if cover is blown
- Deadshot: Downplayed for Survival (rumors of a suitcase full of cash being left outside Paulo's desk)
- Poison Ivy: Her community (Dragon) is cautiously optimistic, is proud of the fact that they can win despite believing she loses a lot of matchups, but doesn't know anything about movies
- Darkseid: Cautiously optimistic. Sonic says he's broke, which translated into non-furry English means that he's probably upper mid tier.
- Firestorm: His community is optimistic but doesn't want to admit it because they're slightly embarrassed by his fire hair
- Green Lantern: Gross says he's broke. Fred Marvel will say he sucks. It's a new game, but Lantern's community has used Supergirl's hyperbaric time capsule to stay exactly the same.
- Dr. Fate: The helmet has his confused community both upplaying and downplaying at the same time. Also the Best Doctor Fate the World Has Ever Known doesn't play in tournaments. So like Nightwing, we may never know
- Harley Quinn: Probably flying under the radar (People who struggle in tournament will likely pop Tantrum Stance on Twitter to cover their skidmarks in pools, though).
- Scarecrow: His community is figuring out how to smuggle Fear Toxin into the EVO pools to make him appear better than he is. I'd probably watch Whiteboi carefully before matches if I were you.
- Robin: His community doesn't care what you think, but also doesn't know what they think, and some of them will make Top 8. Edgy and just starting to grow hair on their chests.
- Green Arrow: Moderately optimistic. Which is expected after this community made it through The Struggle of poverty in Injustice 1. (Side note: might lose their health insurance under Trumpcare)
- Bane: Does Bane have a community? Doombawkz has been on debufff since 2014 (thanks Tyler Lansdown) and only shows up to mumble about blockable setups now
- Flash: HBee and Zyphox started downplaying him somewhere in the middle of MKX, before his Injustice 2 gameplay was ever known
- Black Canary: Her community admits honestly that she's a good character who isn't top, but isn't that bad. We should probably see if they're feeling ok..
- Cyborg: 50% will say he's good, 50% will say he sucks, but no one will go to a tournament with him (... racism?)
- Cheetah: No one will talk about MUs she might win, only ones she gets zoned out in. Also the Guinness Book of World Records is investigating the first 11-negative-one matchup to appear in a fighting game.
- Braniac: Everyone will say he's secretly better than we think, but no one will play him
- Supergirl: Holding out a small twig of hope, and falling asleep clutching a picture of Takeda every night
- Captain Cold: Community is holding a prayer vigil and trying to fashion bits of midscreen tech into a life-saving IV machine
- Wonder Woman: Suicide Watch
- Blue Beetle: Does anyone still play Blue Beetle? Has a BB been spotted in the wild? I am watching the Discovery Channel intently.
- Joker: Suicide (Squad?) Watch
- Gorilla Grodd: His community doesn't speak English and just wants a banana. If you see him in your tournament pool, just give him a banana.
- Swamp Thing: Already dead -- weren't given a chance to live. They were buried on a Tuesday (Tuesday the 11th of May, to be exact)
- Red Hood: Is Red Hood a real character? NRS may take him back any day now "He may have been an accident, but we'll fix it soon"
- Sub-Zero: He's the worst he's ever been because Tom plays him. Needs fixes
