What do you guys think?

 

Ferra looks dope. Homelander, meh.

 

He looks like a mix between General Zod and Starfire to me. All I know is that Bros gonna be dope.

 

I don't know what to think of Homelander but anything after the Ermac trailer is bound to feel less. I also wish there were new moves and stuff for older characters :/

 

He looks boring to me.

 

I watched the trailer multiple times because I assumed I missed new moves, but nah, nothing there. Only hope could be how they gave Sub Zero his triple ice clone without showing in the Quan trailer, but I doubt it.

 

For some reason I was expecting a bit more. I suppose in practice his combos may require some execution due to the flight cancels, but the look of everything he has is very bland.

 

Seems like i was half right about how Torr Mode would play out, interesting that it gives you a shorthop tho

 

Bruh looks like total ass.

 

Ferra has Pain and Gain, slide, slam, and toss. Not to mention she's a... stance? Technically? Hell yes I already love her.

NRS really is trying to think out of the box with all the DLC kameos. Ironically, it shows such a sad contrast to the base roster who (outside of Darrius and Shujinko) are quite dull in design.
Oh and also Homelander was there.

 

I am not sure as i use sub but haven't played much the past few weeks. I think i heard and saw both the ice freeze (i don't recall that on the trailer) and the slide (which i did notice and it seem faster with start up) both look like they are faster? Or am I off on this?

 

I like how Ferra plays.

 

Homelander does look pretty boring/seen before I admit, the combo routes look pretty fun though. Was his launching ground pound a hero landing? Ferra on the other hand looks like A WHOLE ASS MONSTER of a kameo

 

Watching Homelander presented alongside triumphant epic sounding music is really weird.
His animations are also really not good imo. Distracting voice, though that's not the actor's fault.

Looks the same to me. I count roughly 14 frames on that slide before it looks active, still.

 

He looks exactly like what he was probably supposed to be in the first place: Superman in Injustice 3. However, F23 now cancels into a Flight Stance instead of Ice Breath into B3, and he has a Low Laser.

I am 100% more intrigued by whether or not that glowing aura Ferra gave him was the Pain And Gain damage buff.

 

His animations are also really not good imo.

His animations look quite poor indeed. Dare I say he looks a bit out of place in MK1 when in motion.

I much prefer good quality animations at the expense of slower moves.

This would make sense if MK had good quality animations

 

Leaving aside all my hate towards guest characters in general...

...Homelander was the only guest I was mildly interested in and curious on how NRS will translate him into the game. His persona is crazy, sociopathic, awkward and violent. Well, on paper - perfect fit for MK, at lest in some way.

But the outcome is... disappointing, to say the least.

• "Plastic" model that fits Injustice aesthetic more than MK; that may be only my feeling but there is something weird with guests this time in general. Like they are literally taken from the different game without putting this... don't really know how to call it... dirt? of MK world? Despite all my hate towards guests - MKX did it in a proper way at least. But I really don't want to elaborate more on that.
• bad animations. Seriously, this time I cannot be the only one that noticed it and as I'm checking this side I guess some of you see it too!
• Boring special moves. Counted 92384 laser-eye beams as: projectiles, regular moves and hits in strings.
• Lack of Starr's voice - that was expected, but still, not blaming the current voice actor, but that just feels weird
• Too much similiarity to Omni Man; for example - if we mix randomly the moveset, strings, launchers between those two - you wouldn't spot any differences on which move is designed particulary for which character
• 2nd fataility is boring AF; wasted potential

Ferra is the savior of this trailer. Literally every time where she is on screen something fun happens. The only missed opportunity is not to include Torr in the Fatality/Fatal Blow. But I'm not expecting any explanation from NRS why they left him out (lore-wise), as she is a kameo only and her whole presence might not be even canon to the current timeline. So it's a meh for me, but I can still live with that.

As a conclusion: Yes, I still hate guests and will never be an enthusiast of putting these guys - whoever it will be - to the game, instead of MK cast, but in this particular case it does not affect my opinion at all. I really wanted to give Homelander a chance, but from what I saw till now - not interested at all.

 

I hope NRS didn’t make Homelander bad to spite the character and Antony Starr. Because I’ve been looking forward to his release since I found out he was going to be in the game. And this trailer definitely doesn’t shed a good light on him

 

He's just superman from injustice. No personality to his strings/special moves. For a character that has a fascinating (and terrifying) personality. He looks very bland here.

But thats lazy or "didn't have enough time" NRS for you, if they have something they can copy/paste they will do so.

Hope we get new moves or strings for the base roster when he drops but....we probably will not lol. Maybe with ferra

 

Better not see any of you playing HomeGoater after these comments. That is all.

 

lol if he's peacekeeper tier he'll be the ONLY character anybody plays, ugh

 

...don't be mad, but I think he looks fun to play. But that's also because I loved Superman in Inj1 and 2. So yeah. Can't wait for June 4!!

Wait why? They didn’t make him look very good in this trailer, that doesn’t mean he isn’t good and/or fun. Kinda like the first gameplay trailer for this game, it was pretty bad. Then when people got their hands on the game at that one place where it was at (can’t remember where), and people like SonicFox were allowed to play for a little bit and record, it looked much much better.

I’m genuinely hoping this is the case and it was just a bad gameplay trailer for him.

 

He's more Zod then anything. He has a few of Supermans strings,a few Starfire strings, but mainly Zod's attached and specials.
