After an entertaining Saturday's worth of pools here in White Plains, NY the Top 8 for this year's Defend the North is officially set. A collection of some of Injustice 2's current best are set to clash on Sunday evening, featuring a diverse array of characters. Here are the final 8:


WINNERS

Echo Fox | Theo (Superman, AM) vs. Echo Fox | Sonic Fox (Red Hood)

T7G D.R. Gross (Green Lantern) vs. PG Hayatei (Robin)


LOSERS

Grr (Deadshot) vs. Circa | Forever King (Batman)

RNG | Whiteboi (Scarecrow) vs. Fable Destroyer (Atrocitus)


If you haven't yet seen Saturday's Top 16, you are missing out on a real treat; as it was filled to the brim with exciting, hotly contested sets. A number of matches went down to the wire, and there were several surprising twists and endings.

The Top 8 will be Sunday at 7 PM ET at http://twitch.tv/bifuteki

Hell yeah!! Nice, diverse top 8. For a relatively small turnout, the killers are out in full force.

Shocked Dragon got 9th, bummer for him

Gross winner's side too 8 with GL!!! Fuck yes man. Gross' GL is my favorite character to watch. I hope he gets top 3.

Tier Whore.
This notion that Robin is low tier is gotta die quick.
Robin will be top5 once patch hits.

When's GGA!?
As it stands there are no repeat characters in top 8(excluding pocket Aqua, Cat, and Adam). The variety is real in this top 8. Im curious to see if Theo can't clap back against SonicFox's red hood. Guess we'll see if Aquaman fairs better than Superman did at evo 17. So many stories to be unfolded, i can't wait till this top 8.

edit: And i get a new episode of Game of Thrones to follow. what a good sunday.

Robin isn't low tier. He's like right above that. He's definitely worse than Flash tho. Hayatei is just that good. I know it sounds like i'm biased towards Hayatei, but Robin loses the same way Flash does but he's way less scary up close. Robin has better mid range neutral but most characters don't have to play that game with him. They just lame him out.

Plus he has gaps people still don't exploit. People let him get away with b2 smart rang every time. etc etc etc

Dragon repeatedly punished cancels into smart rang with b12, but Hayatei beat him nontheless. Hayatei is really good

He got away with some vs Dragon too and I didn't say that he literally gets away with them every time. Just more than he should. Crimson always fishing.

Tier Whore.
Why is it that rushdown chars get downplayed like Flash & Robin but defensive chars like Aquaman get upplayed?

The problem isn't offensive or defensive. The problem is how annoying the play style is. Deadshot is repetitive. So is Aquaman. And worse is that Aquaman's moves are relatively low-skill. His trait is simply a one-button combo breaker, and d1~TR is so easy and so safe and so much reward on hit or block. I love Aquaman as a character and really resent how shit they made him in this game. There's no reason for trident rush to exist as it does.
