Injustice 2 Patch Notes - July Update

[Bruno-NeoSpace]

Fate got rekt losing his ankh after trait throw combos

Daaaaaaaamnnnn WTF

 

[scarsunseen]

YESSS... Unblockable Cyrax bombs!

 

[STK]

If the change they made to superman to air laser on hit why doesnt the change take effect on competitive mode? Am i missing something?

 

[Lokheit]

OMG THEY ADDED SUB-ZERO!! He's in the customize characters preview window Can't wait for him to be playable.


Also command throw confirmed as main moveset as daggers are part of the main customizable gear along the sword and hammer (all of them are present in the model preview).

 

[Agilaz]

• Brainiac - If a Beta Strike Character Power is active when a throw escape occurs, it is destroyed (This does not apply in Completive / Tournament Mode)

So it goes away on hit, on block, and now it loses throw escape tech. Maybe next patch remove it all together and make his trait button a taunt?

One where he just does the Helicopter Dick with one of his tentacles

 

[zerosebaz]

I don't understand changes that have "doesn't apply in tournament mode" besides them, what was the point of the fix then? Non competitive mode is a clusterfuck anyway, small fixes won't really matter there.

The hell does this 'does not apply to competitive/tournament play' crap mean?.

My guess is they are not applying this changes to competitive mode to not change the balance of the game so close to Evo, but they will implement them in competitive mode at a later date, along with a future update.

Could be wrong though.

Thank the lords. Just when I was starting to lose hope on these inputs and obvious glitches being fixed, NRS comes out with a patch outta nowhere. Thank you Netherrealm.

 

[TamedLizard]

Welp. B3 is obviously working as intended. Witch hunters can go home now. :3

 

[ChatterBox]

WHERE IS @Scoot Magee ??

I'm pretty pumped about the flash change and the inputs in general. That competitive mode not applying thing is funny to me, casuals can't handle the tech haha. But seriously it's cool they're leaving in all the dirt people find for evo.

 

[Lokheit]

Poison Ivy hitbox on B2D2 against airborne opponents still isn't fixed (it whiffs when trying to connect on many launchers when you clearly see her full arm and carnivorous plant inside the opponent hitbox).

 

[Protagonist_1]

Going to test the input buffer system when I get home. Biggest issue with Cyborg was 11 into techno tackle would come out as 11 diagonal fireball. Can finally do 11 tick throws

 

[Dankster Morgan]

What the fuck I was already gonna drop Fate for Sub but wow. This is as much of a simple bug "fix" as Scarecrow's wakeup "fix" lol

 

[Olcadan13]

Anyone else getting substantially less character xp from multiverse now, or is it just me?

 

[Scoot Magee]

Edit

They didn't really fix it. Dash input still stores while holding a direction. It just doesn t happen during fuzzy guard anymore. Still bad though...

 

[Tanno]

NRS, a note of advise. Better release any of your games 3-4 years each time. This will give you some time to fix those shits, instead of releasing them way early.

 

[Toonstrack]

So in order to get more precise inputs do I have to directly activate no button shortcuts? Or are the effects of the patch present even without turning them off?

 

[Roy Arkon]

Great update and a great patch. Good job NRS!

I think they know that, but WB think otherwise.

lmao because like 90% of the playerbase is in the regular gear mode? come on now. should they just not fix bugs in the mode most people are using??

 

[Cobainevermind87]

lmao because like 90% of the playerbase is in the regular gear mode? come on now. should they just not fix bugs in the mode most people are using??

I highly doubt 90% of the playerbase is using gear and exclusively playing player matches. Gear was never meant to balanced anyhow, just for kicks.

 

[Marinjuana]

So it goes away on hit, on block, and now it loses throw escape tech. Maybe next patch remove it all together and make his trait button a taunt?

One where he just does the Helicopter Dick with one of his tentacles

His trait is great, you don't need bullshit like that throw tech combo that punishes good players with full combos for making the right read.

But from the looks of it we'll still have it in competitive mode which is all that matters anyway.

 

[ImperatrixSindel]

I highly doubt 90% of the playerbase is using gear and exclusively playing player matches. Gear was never meant to balanced anyhow, just for kicks.

Casual players are absolutely spending a lot of their time in multiverse and guild multiverse with gear turned on, player/ranked aside. Whether or not gear was meant to be 'balanced', they definitely should fix bugs with gear.

 

[Lt. Boxy Angelman]

GUTTED IS +8. This could prove useful for Mr. Todd.

Today is a good day.

You say "bugs" but I see balance changes.

" Air Heat Vision follow up from Rising Grab is now a hard knockdown to prevent it from being punishable on hit in certain circumstances (This does not apply in Completive / Tournament Mode)"

 

[B. Shazzy]

You say "bugs" but I see balance changes.

" Air Heat Vision follow up from Rising Grab is now a hard knockdown to prevent it from being punishable on hit in certain circumstances (This does not apply in Completive / Tournament Mode)"

uh if you could punish something on hit id call that a bug bro

 

[Toonstrack]

I tried it out a little and now it seems a little too precise lol

My go to is going to Green Arrow and trying f2d1 and canceling into bf3. But now I can barely get d1 in; it comes out as db1 for some reason. I may have to keep input shortcuts on lol.
