Unblockable Special Attacks in Injustice?!

Hey guys,
New to the boards, new to the game. I'm trying to get it all down, but coming from the capcom IP, this is pretty tough for a complete beginner. I never played MK9 so I'm lost here! haha. I had a question though...

It seems like there are a few unblockable moves in the game, command grabs and such. I'm wondering if there are moves that are blockable but I'm doing it wrong!

What are all the unblockable moves in this game? Please include characters and moves, including command grabs.

Superman's charge?
Doomsday's shoulder slam?
Shazam's BM Psycho Crusher?

I'm sure you can block some of the things I suck at blocking, but if somebody could put a list together of all the unblockable moves, and/or how to deal with these moves that I feel are unblockable I would totally appreciate it. Thank you!

you can block literally all of those things by holding back
By shoulder slam he MIGHT mean Supernova.


Doomsday's Supernova (wherein he jumps offscreen into the sky and falls), the third hit of his 22 1+3 string (is a grab, can be avoided if you block the first two hits)
Scorpion's Hellfire (pillar of flame he summons after a sizable startup)
Bane's Body Press (command grab)
Solomon Grundy's (MB) Pain Chain (his trait grab), and Walking Corpse (his walk up to you command grab)
Killer Frost's command grab
Harley Quinn's command grab
Shazam's command grabs (one can be ducked, one can be avoided by not ducking)
Any attack Deathstroke does using bullets while his trait is active
Lobo's command grab

Solomon Grundy and Scorpion do unblockable damage to you in small amounts when using Grave Rot and his "flame on" trait, respectively.

You obviously can't block any parry move :p

I probably missed some, but that's all I can think of at the moment.

There we go. Thanks ice. So superman's BM charge move isn't a command grab? I'm just horrible?

His charge move is easily block able by holding back. His super move is as well. Sometimes it seems like blocking his super is not working but you are in recovery frames if you are unable to block it.

In training mode, the game will show you what the hit level is for any moves. If it says "Throw" or "Unblockable" then you CAN NOT block. Anything else you can block.

I really hate scorpions hellfire as a special move. He has a teleport and a spear that lead to full combos.WHY does he need an unblockable ranged projectile?????? The best argument someone has made for it is that "It's been in the game for 10 years". Kappa

"Never say 'never'
The teleport only leads to combos if he catches you in the air. His walk speed is incredibly slow and without those 2 moves, hes useless.

Be very careful when blocking overheads. You have to hit Back EXACTLY. If you're slightly putting enough pressure on it to register a "down+back" input, you'll get hit. It's the main reason the diagonal inputs should be REMOVED from this game.
