Scarecrow: We Want Him: Nothing Else To Say:

IrishMantis

Most humble shit talker ever!!!
Low damage ender that injects opponent with fear gas to stacking levels, giving Scarecrow access to new specials each time. Like the opponent is having a super bad trip and scarecrow gets some crazy ass projectiles or something like Inferno Scorpion's demons.
This how I vision him in my head too

I'm really hoping he turns out good if he's playable he could be a main potential for me

You know me as RisingShieldBro online.
A lot of people don't know this but Scarecrow once obtained the Yellow ring of power, he also become living fear toxin.
 
There is too much potential for the character to not be included. He could deal Gray Health damage with certain specials. He could reverse inputs. Transform into "Fear' versions of whoever he is fighting, could have multiple status effects using different types of Fear Toxin, etc etc.

I imagine him having a Teleport similar to Freddy's honestly as well. Again, there are multiple ways to take the character. Rush down, zoning, hybrid etc.

Wait is this a thing? Cuz if it is I'll flip. I always wanted someone like Scarecrow or Two face in but thought they were too obscure so I never thought it could happen. If Scarecrow was in I'd flip my shit.
 
I've counted 2 or 3 "Leaked" Lists that included Scarecrow. I'm hopelessly optimistic that he makes it in.

Of course I also feel it necessary to say that if he is included I will most likely be pioneering the Scarecrow forums here, regardless if I'm a mod or not.

I respect that. I'll hopefully do the same with Swamp Thing :D

How the hell does he not bring anything to the table at all for a fighting game? Care to back that statement up with an argument or nah?

when has scarecrow ever fought batman hand to hand? i can think of maybe once or twice max
i don't think the argument of "well he's barely fought batman" is really...effective, like at all. We've already gone over a good amount of his potential as a fighting game character earlier in this thread.

I can't help my Fiction addiction.
Why do people think this means anything? This is a DC game by the creators of Mortal Kombat, two franchises in which characters NEVER stay dead.
This game doesn't seem to be going the black lantern route. We're not talking about MK but injustice and the game has stay pretty persistent at keeping dead characters dead.

after reading the character bios on I2 website, I agree. But, we have 2 Scarecrows, ya know? Also, the comic was a prequel I believe to !GAU, Which would mean the undead, transition sequence Scarecrow would have been the remaining one...doesn't that seem logical?

To begin, I care little for the, "Too many Batman characters" line, take it somewhere else. Personally, I've believed Scarecrow could be a potential Fighting Game character once he debuted in the original Arkham Asylum game. His appearance & design in Arkham Knight cemented that belief. Some may say that Skill-set wise, Scarecrow has never really been depicted as a master of martial arts outside of some renditions such as his Noose-Around-The-Neck appearance in the "New Batman Animated' Series. Or his Scythe wielding version in Batman: The Brave & The Bold.

Generally, outside of his Fear Toxin he's depicted as being relatively harmless when it comes to physical combat. Of course that all goes out the window in Fighting Games where characters that would normally stand no chance are given equal footing (in the idea of the game)

As far as possible play style I've always imagined him having something of an MK9 Freddy set. Long range claw attacks with maybe a DOT effect such as F.A.N.G or Venomous D'Vorah. His trait with the Fear Toxin could have one of multiple effects (reversing inputs, slowing meter gain, slowing character etc) Almost like Valentine in Skullgirls who gets access to multiple effects based on whatever poison she loads into the syringe.

There are infinite possibilities with the character and regardless of Tier he would be my official Day 1 Main. Of course if he's terrible, i'll have a Top Tier backup. But he'd be my central focus.

@CrazyFingers (If Swamp Thing doesn't make it)

and GunShow who may not be on this site anymore, may also join the cause.
I hope they bring him back

As a Stage Transition :DOGE
 

Lex Luthor II

Lord of Lightning
He is dead in the injustice comic book.
Isnt the comic book separate from the video game storyline? Like the comic storyline continues WITHOUT the good universe Superman/WoWo/Batman etc coming over to the InjusticeUniverse

Whereas the video game storyline, the comics were about to happen, but batman brings them into the Injustice Universe before all that happens. No?
 

conqueror

Apprentice
Injecting fear (special move) that unables opponent to do anything but move and block for around a couple of seconds or more

Putting some fade away special move similar to something like ermacs fade away

Though I haven't read the current "ground zero" comic I'm pretty sure it's just retelling the events of the game, with the alternate universe characters and everything. All of the original comic was canon with the game.

fear toxin is cool and he's a great psychological villain but im just saying a character who never fights anyone shouldnt be in a fighting game. if this was an rpg or something id be excited af for him to be in
