Injustice:GAU Tier List for D2s

[16 Bit]

Catwoman's is weird and hard to rank. It's better than people think. It was seriously buffed during the universal d+2 buffs. More than Catwomen thought, I was guilty of not seeing it until later myself. It's now decent, it lowers her hitbox hella and can beat a lot of jump attacks if you're ready. Then there's some, especially ones that have a downward angle it's still useless on. Once you know the matchups it's usable.

 

[Awkward Sloth]

Harley D2 is low tier it's the only D2 that is clashabe raw in the game.

 

[StevoSuprem0]

Sinestro's d.2 isn't exactly known for its horizontal reach, and while its true -8 is safer (prevents Bane from punishing it on block) most of the cast can still punish it on block.
Not that many characters have a problem like that.

Only if they are in d2 range, which they will not be after the pushback of blocking a d2 xx arachnid stinger. It's pretty much safe, save MAYBE Doomsday or something.
That said, -8 is still not a great place to be in this game, since some characters will smother you with pressure if you give them that sort of window even if you are able to block.

Agreed. Even moreso since Sinestro doesn't have many good "gtfo me" moves at his disposal when he is on the pressured side of things.

I personally wouldn't put NW escrima D2 low tier, I've been able to anti-air people quite consistently with it

Yea but you have to do it preemptively. It almost impossible to do it on reaction. Try doing it on bman's or jokers j2

 

[xInfra Deadx]

Raven's D2 is absolutely on its own level of shit. It's almost useless as an anti air.

Lmao is you serious? Omg

 

[Awkward Sloth]

Lmao is you serious? Omg

It hits two times if both hits hit its clashable.

I think Sinestro is just a character that needs to utilize pushblocking to break people off. He generates meter very quickly and has very solid footsies and space control in the neutral setting. Just needs to get there.

Only problem I'd see is he does need meter to maintain that pressure through delayed FB.

I honestly don't think Zatanna's d2 is that bad. 8 frames of startup, decent vertical hitbox and can be confirmed easily into a full combo (28%) or reset. Granted, I normally just go air to air with j1, but the option is still there and it's not that bad tbh.

 

[NoobHunter420]

the tier placement should also depend on how much damage they can do from it.
WW's d2 is just as good as HG's, but WW can do 27% w/o meter into more pressure.
HG gets around 22% w/o meter, 25% with meter.

I do do it on reaction. As soon as you see them jump press D2. It knocks them right out of the air due to it's big hitbox.

 

[FrozenG3oX]

Sword Stance uppercut is the same speed.

I know that, but doesnt lasoo have better range ?

 

[RiBBz22]

I would put KF's d2 in top tier.

As for damage, she gets 30% one bar into a vortex, or 28% meterless vortex. Not bad, especially since d2s scale dramatically and she gets a vortex from it.

As for usefulness, it beats tons of jump in, and can even compete with some of the best like bats J2 or Aqua's j3. Even if she trades hits, more often than not, she can still follow up with a slide, and still get a meterless or metered vortex from it, but with a little less damage. It has a good horizontal and vertical hitbox, meaning she can hit airborne foes ranging from right in front of her to right above her head, and it works against some crossups. Not to mention, It's 10f and safe, so she can even use it for pressure.

What she gets off it isn't important, I think the point is just based on the properties of the move itself. Definitely one of the best IMO for the reasons we have mentioned. -6 on block is pretty tight, especially for how good and useful it is.

top 5 d2's aq hg bane joker sin , and a light break down of top group

forward reach in order 1 bane 2 joker 3 sin 4 aq hg tie

height 1 bane hg aq tie 2 joker sin tie

reach behind 1 hg 2 bane 3 aq 4 joker 5 sin

speed 1 aq 2 hg 3 sin 4 joker5 bane

most options on block 1 hg 2 bane 3 aq 4 joker sin tie

least disadvantage on whiff 1 aq 2 hg 3 sin 4 bane 5 joker

so aq and hg equally op top 2 , bane a close 3rd and joker and sin in their own little tier that could be argued into swaps with some other cast . imo top 3 are clear winners .

honorable mention to grundy for dmg d2-11-shmb-j2-b1 20% unavoidable trait reset 31% by far highest dmg d2 combo and it's really easy to do . dmg trait+mbgas 27% and 41% give or take a few for gas randomness
