TYM's Injustice 2 at E3 2016 Thread

[THTB]

Injustice was honestly about as balanced as I think you can ever expect a game with 30 characters and one year of support to be.

Bad matchups are just a sad fact of life when you have that much diversity, and one year of support equals broken crap like Zod x Lex going under the radar until the end of the games life. Hopefully the legacy aspect will help NRS fine tune things, and microtransctions could lead to longer support...but there *will* be bad matchups. Even Capcom games have 7-3 matchups.

Very true. Sagat-Gief and Guile-Bison were two matchups that remained 7-3 until the end of the game's life. Oftentimes, character designs just lead to harsh counters, too. It's the price of games with very diverse playstyles.

Injustice was just on the twitch stream with full lifebars, meter, win screens, loot drops and all but I only caught the last few minutes. Did anyone record the whole thing?

Saw it, showed Atrocitous and Grodd gameplay mostly. They briefly showed the select screen as well:

28 character roster confirmed?

 

[kabelfritz]

ok the game for sure looks spectacular. gear sounds cool but obviously broken AF and i wonder how they will have everything unlocked at tournaments

Any video to disect though? Im more interested in seeing the base game mechanics and if they mention anything about them

 

[Toniichan]

Ed did say that they wanted this game in the competitive scene so im sure that they've thought about this

It will highly depend on how the loot system works.

I think Smash has spoiled me...

have fu n guessing headsi already spotted Freddy krueger and a big Panda. and i hope thats the riddler beneath supergirl

 

[Rathalos]

It looks Injustice 1 as fuck.
So far the new things are the gear, the air teching, and the universal roll dodge.
Better walk speed.

Other then that, it has all the same Injustice 1 animations, background bounce, wall bounce, dumb get up before falling over animation.

Clashes and stage transitions seem streamlined and shorter.

Hopefully they change a lot of the universal animations like the wall bounce, which looks bad.

Well, not everyone from the first one will be in this one Confirmed if that's the select screen. So I'm guessing they are leaving the dead out, besides Joker. Just hope Poison Ivy is in

Walk speed looks better, no backdash meter is nice, same life bar system is back.

Still looks kind of vanilla to me though. We'll see what else comes up

 

[Arzumis]

the characters stats are Strength, Ability, Defense and Hp.

 

[trufenix]

okay, so that roll is definitely a universal abilitiy.

 

[Bi-on-iC]

So Supergirl's walking laser move is her trait and damn it takes forever to refill!

I meant *fighting games*.


But seriously: I admittedly never played smash competitively so I'm fairly ignorant on tiers and a ton of stuff for the game...but I know enough to know that if it is "balanced" its pretty much a massive fluke rather than intentional design choices.
It can happen...but you can't count on lighting striking every time.

I'm in love with air tech and dodge roll in injustice! Let's hope zoners be zoning because everyone gets a super long forward dash (that's probably projectile immune) at the low price of a bar.

Really like the way the damage is shown on the life bars and counted up on each hit, that was a great addition in mkx.

 

[SoundsLikePAUSE]

Interesting. Some of the gear gained said "Single Player only".

So Supergirl's walking laser move is her trait and damn it takes forever to refill!

From what I can tell, every heat vision move she does drains the meter a small amount and the walking laser drains it completely.

 

[kevkopdx]

im so hyped that it looks like they are just streamlining the first game!

 

[SiThG0D]

New stream.

 

[BowTheDeceitful]

Not a fan of that health bar appearance, I ope they change the look of it and take away the yellow.

 

[Prinz]

The game looks raw as hell right now lol.

 

[Name v.5.0]

Awww man. I think it looks great. I love seeing the damage pile up on the bar WITH the percentage of life taken. That's awesome to me.
