Injustice 2: Introducing Brainiac

[YoungTeezy 305]

That air dash is raw. It looks like his cables are grabbing on to something. Maybe his ship?

 

[Johnny Based Cage]

After seeing how dope they've done Brainiac I just hope to all hell they haven't ruined my boy Darkseid in any way, shape or form. They're doing right by so many of these characters it would really suck if the one they got wrong was the baddest motherfucker of them all.

 

[SoundsLikePAUSE]

So Green Arrow is not a Metahuman but he can teleport now. I bet his boxing glove arrow is just gear.

Brainiac looks great especially his Super!!!

He's not the first non-super powered character in an NRS game to get a teleport. It looks pretty cool though.

 

[REYTHEGREAT]

Seriously, though. look at these tools!

He's got mobility:
Whatever the fuck this is:

this looks like Blanka's shock move. Maybe this is parry?

I'm thinking either parry or some sort of delayed launcher, like Predator's self destruct.

Looks good. Not for me though.

 

[trufenix]

Then Lansdown is the Peter Quill of the FGC.

Star Lord for dlc? Im game.

I agree, but that is fun for some people.

Not me, personally, but some gamers actively seek out "time sinks"... RPGs with 100+ hours of content to dive into. That's actually why I think INJ2 will sell like hotcakes...The gear system has "fun and casual" written all over it and the "collect-athon" aspect of it, will keep non-competitive players grinding and happy for a long time.

That's important, since they're basically footing the bill for the rest of us.

I would urge any of you that want to play with gear moves, open up casual matches once and a while. If you have the time to spend, why not?

Oh no I completely get it. Competitive gamers for nrs make up 0.01% if that of the entire game sales

Should have clarified "for me" but it's smart for them business wise and will get a lot of praise from kids to casuals who buy it

It's not the moves I'm talking about. The moves aren't available because gear isn't in tourney so idc about the moves in that light. But if I wanna play with those moves, I have to deal with what people have unlocked that I don't know shit about. Can I lab moves I haven't unlocked? How much damage would this combo do? How much does this defense number matter in my damage output? How much extra damage should I expect to take? What does that cape do? What about those boots, the helmet, that shirt? There are way too many variables that I could never learn about in a gear match. I do not want to deal with fighting against shit I do not know. Gear moves are cool I guess, but the other shit that comes with them...I don't wanna fuck with

I'd say all that variation/gear grinding/stat climbing stuff will eventually get old and frustrating thus polarizing a majority of casuals. Only very loyal fans and serious gamers will utilize the gear system after about a year and stand on some very uniquely, high powered gear loadouts. If the gear systems are truly as unbalanced as some of us speculate, inj2 gear mode would be the equivalent of The Division's DZ pvp mode

 

[Euphoric]

did they show his fatality?

 

[John Grizzly]

this looks like Blanka's shock move. Maybe this is parry?

Looks like Kitana's Assassin parry, except Brainiac's launches.

 

[kabelfritz]

holy shit this character looks cool. very versatile, quite seth-like overall, i like it.

on a side note, what do you do to let everyone know this character is boss? give him everything and then a dive kick on top.

 

[DownfouralitY]

Brainiac looks amazing. Still probably not going to try him, but i'm very impressed by what i'm seeing. No wonder they saved him until now, he was worth it. Kinda pissed that Grodd MB throw is gear, that looks so fucking cool.

 

[Dankster Morgan]

Brainiac looks sick. Don't really see myself using him but he's cool.

 

[Aramonde]

YOOOOOOO!!!! I knew nothing about Brainiac before this game, he wasn't on my radar at all but now with these trailers I'm seriously considering maining him. All his moves look so sick! Never thought I'd like a Superman character lol.

 

[jackempty0]

You guys know you're allowed to play with gear moves right, like, not every match you play on your couch has to be tournament standard.

i wish i could like this more than once

 

[just_2swift]

Aren't we all?

Just used my tentacle last night.

 

[Deleted member 5032]

Whether you are for or against gear, it's still annoying having gear-specific moves in the trailers. It feels kind of scummy, like the character is being purposefully misrepresented. Just my 2 cents.

I understand the feeling 100%. The thing to remember though is, to the great majority of people buying this game, that doesn't matter. Most people will grind player matches and story mode, so to them, there's little difference between a gear move and a base move. It's all in the same game.

As much as I would love them to exclude gear moves from trailers entirely, they're not selling to people like you and me. Most of the players on TYM have already preordered anyway.

 

[just_2swift]

I can't wait for all the Brainiac ship Supergirl content on deviantart.

Tentacle nipple clamps tentacle throat scope.

 

[shaowebb]

My god this dude is mobile and has range. Plus he has lockdown tools with missiles and the laser and the laser can draw them in closer. Plus divekicks, dash up attacks, easy grabs, huge AA.

I'm in love.

AND THAT TENTACLE FLAIL!


Brainiac. Beyond genius. Beyond intelligence made flesh. Beyond machine and beyond the limits of intellect...and one of the first things he encounters on earth is a man strolling up to him curling his mustache and jamming a boxing glove onto the end of an arrow and yellin "I GOT THIS SHIT!" as he draws a fucking bow on him. Just imagine being Brainiac in that moment.
Best moment. Best moment ever. 10 stars. Game of the forever.

 

[dribirut]

He reminds me so much of those spider machines in the matrix. He's soooo badasss

 

[Raiderhorn]

I'm actually liking Brainiac's voice the most about him
