That's true, but I still think that for Injustice 3 if they choose to do it, they should go for much flashier and more personality portraying moves and combos. I personally am cool with Injustice looking the way it is, but it does look like to people with powers fighting, rather than super snart, high tech, massive Juggernauts fighting. Maybe they should add more moves from the movies to appeal to fans that watch them. Maybe make them look more aggressive and powerful. I mean, look at Alien from MKX. He wasn't balanced, but he sure as hell was fun to play with and watch in Tournament (excluding Tarkatan rekkas). Same with Predator. He was jumping all over the place, throwing discs and shooting plasma orbs, etc. His combos looked phenomenal if you put work into doing them. Same with Quan Chi. Injustice 1 Green Lantern. MK9 Kratos. These characters were flashy and great to watch fight. Right now we do have Starfire, who does animate beautifully and has vivid things to look at. Same with Brainiac. Flash. Super Girl to some extent. I just feel like they should up the cinematic experience a little more for people who are watching the game and might wanna buy it.I dunno. MvCi has crazy flashy moves. At first you're like "wow that's awesome!", then after seeing it a thousand times in a set, it gets stale just as fast.
Very much this. If you can conceal who's playing and that results in one being unable to accurately guess who's playing you're probably watching something that values style over substance and/or there's no way to really impart your own style into a character. I think, in that sense, that Injustice does pretty well. With characters that are popular enough to have a decent volume of high level representation I feel like you can get a pretty good feel for who's playing without knowing who's playing.I dunno.

Yes, exactly this! I feel most strongly about this when it comes to traits. I feel like traits are a very Injusticey thing, and they should try and capitalise on it. The traits should be a bit crazy, and, most importantly, fun! There should be at, the very least, that brief moment where you're like "yo, now this is mother fucking Raiden" instead of "oh, now his hands are a bit more lightningy"I wouldn't mind seeing some wilder stuff. Overall I think Injustice 2 is at a pretty good spot on the FGC Wildness Spectrum, but there's always room for improvement.
Two things I'd like to see:
1. More creativitey in terms of Trait. Traits are a great way to let the characters powers shine through, and I think it's a letdown creatively when a character's trait is just a simply damage buff.
2. More individuality in how the characters animate or attack. Most characters punch and kick the same way, it'd be nice to see the characters fight a bit more in line with their own background/makeup.
Yeah, traits are really where they dropped the ball. Most traits are very vanilla (damage buff, new move). Traits really could have been something special. KI, while some of their Instincts are very simple, definitely ups the stakes. I would have liked to have seen more creativity there.Yes, exactly this!

I think it would help to start by looking at what types of traits there are to see were one could get more creative without completely breaking the game. I would say that the game, broadly speaking, has:Yeah, traits are really where they dropped the ball. Most traits are very vanilla (damage buff, new move).

Well, actually....Why don't characters have more than one trait they can choose from before a match? Why has no one ever suggested this before? Why is this the first time I've ever thought of this?
Fair play haha.Well, actually....

Unnecessary smartassery aside, I completely agree that it would be a really nice idea.
Trait variations you say..Why don't characters have more than one trait they can choose from before a match? Why has no one ever suggested this before? Why is this the first time I've ever thought of this?
