Most versatile characters?

Which characters in Injustice are considered the most versatile in that they can switch up how they play during a match?

I've been playing Doomsday and while he's good I'm not so much of a fan of his linearity, I've been trying out Raven as she can shift between being attacking and more defensive controlling of space but am after some recommendations of other characters with options to play with.

Versatile is a realtive term so you might wanna be more acurraite since most Chars in this game can be Versatile

but if you mean most rounded with all the tools one could have

Batman and GL

maybe Superman too

What I mean by versatile is that they can switch up how they are playing, for example Doomsday has a good suite of tools but a linear rushdown game plan whereas Raven can switch between defensive zoning at mid range to more rushdown. Obviously the more things a character can do they will be weaker than a character that specialises at something. I'm just looking at characters with flexibility rather than a linear game plan even if that linear game plan may well be very good and powerful.

Though I also fully admit that his may be something of a fruitless search and I'll just have to learn a load of different characters instead.

Nightwing or Wonder Woman. They've got something for everything. Wonder Woman moreso than NW, though.
I wouldn't really consider Nightwing that versatile anymore.
  • No low starting combos in Escrima stance.
  • Staff stance 1f1/12 mixup is easy to differentiate between.
  • No good anti-airs.
  • Can't access air interactables in Staff stance.
  • Only ever has access to half his tools.
I would definitely consider Nightwing in the top half of the roster, but some characters have the same strengths with no visible flaws.

I totally agree, except for the AA (d+2 is staff is annoyingly good somehow). I thought the original post was in regard to how the character can handle other character's playstyles, pressure, etc.

I'd say Batman, he can rushdown one second and in a heartbeat play keep away all thanks to that damn trait of his. -_-

Green Arrow, Batman, and WW come to mind

Raven is not very versatile at all. You are not going to be able to rush down with her against good players(She has an effective up close game but most of it is based on getting your opponent back out).

Superman...a character who is somehow the most versatile and simplest/most boring.
I notice every single one of your posts is revolving around how "broken" superman/batman is. Do you practice this game at all, cause they both have weaknesses. Maybe it's just you?

She doesn't need to when she has an air dash and ways to get in. She's the best char in the game and it's sad people don't realize it. The thread title was most versatile and she is by and far more versatile than Superman/Batman and all these other random names people are pulling out of thin air
est character in the game?
Can do everything?
BAN HER!

In all seriousness there is a lot of characters that are versatile, not just WW. ust because Green Arrow is not as good as Wonder Woman does not mean he is less versatile than she is.

Giving it to g.l and ww for versatility. G.l because he has good spacing tools, great pokes, and can play every range with his wide range of projectiles, and ww for reasons that I don't have to explain because I am sure someone has mentioned them by now.

Other chars are vesatile, but I think WW is the most versatile, jack in the box, can do anything char in the game. That's all I'm saying:)
