Injustice 2 character types?

[Nexallus]

As the question implies, I would like to know what type of character you think you will be playing as in Injustice 2 (let me know if I left out a character type or particular playstyle).

I am personally looking forward to playing as a space control type character.

Edit: I do mean character types in terms of the specific spacing playstyle of each character.

Aren't zoning and keepaway damn near the same? And where is grappling?

i try to stay within the Rushdown or Big Body category.

I have added in the grapple archeotype, although I was unsure about it at first because some characters can have strong far-screen tools with grapple moves as well.

I think that Grapple goes with a different series of archeotypes such as mix-up and footsie type of characters.

Mix ups and footsies are not aachetypes. they are tools.

Setplay.

Mix ups and footsies are not aachetypes. they are tools.

Regardless, I meant the poll to be in terms of spacing between the two characters rather than specific character tools.

I do appreciate the feedback

Where's jumping? like for batman

 

[masherofbuttons]

don't know if this is an archetype but anything with a bunch of setups would be cool. It's the main reason I'm looking forward to scarecrow because fear gas could be sooooo hype.
edit: or very annoying (think relentless jason)

 

[RoboCop]

Yeah, definitely need to add trap/set-up character, like Lex in Injustice 1.

 

[TheGangstaFace]

This thread is a mess lol

More space control, more zoning, anything but rushdown set play, run button "hold this 50/50 bro lul"

 

[Azarashi Elder]

I'm not sure what you mean by"space control", because that could be zoning or it could be a character with long range pokes or forward -advancing moves.

If we're talking about the latter, that's what I'm interested in. I'm not particularly offensive or defensive. I like playing footsies and will rush down or back off when appropriate.

 

[Clark L.]

Definitely random 50/50 set play, that stuff is so much fun.......

Spoiler

not

 

[Edmund]

I think you can have rushdown without a 50/50. Like pressure through chip damage and what not.

Why split zoning into 3 different answers (as far as I understand zoning is space control, zone <--> space, zoning doesn't have to be pewpewpew spam) then forget to include traps/setups?

 

[Cashual]

You should add setup/set play/mixup and then footsies/mid range/defensive character options and eliminate space control.

Would people say that counterzoner is an archetype or just an element of another archetype?

No there is no character that revolves around counterzoning. Some characters just have the ability to do so.

Is there a way to take the thread down? I feel like I have completely messed up this whole poll and thread. I simply wanted to open up a friendly discussion while waiting for the injustice 2 release.

Don't be too hard with yourself, probably a mod could just change the poll or something to better cover the right archetypes. @CrazyFingers ? @Eldriken ?

 

[Cashual]

It's all good OP, it's a good thread just needs some clean up, don't sweat it dude.

Another potential option could be "will play character x because I'm a fan of the character regardless of archetype" or a better less clunky wording of that.

There needs to be a balance between several play styles. In mkx it was only rush down and reset. Having several different play styles, in my opinion, is one of the traits of a good game

 

[SoV N3RO]

Rush-down. Always have been, always will be.
Willing to dabble with some zoning and space control, however.

 

[TyCarter35]

Most likely seeing myself enjoying some space control with a trident that won't function properly though

I'm willing to give zoning and rush-down a try as well

Yea, like badass mk3 pressure without the 50/50 guesses.
