The Thread of Injustice

[zeptron]

I think what they should do is put in more ways to earn platinum and diamond boxes. Or at least make it so that each time you open a gold box there's at least one epic item inside. Which could turn out to be an ability instead.

[/FONT]A new update is now available for Injustice 2 on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.


The July update improves overall stability, adds a Restart Match option to certain Multiverse fights, fixes a number of bugs, and makes changes to several stages to ensure that certain interactions can only be performed once per combo.

The update also includes a few small balance changes and bug fixes for several of the game’s characters, including Superman, Green Lantern, Flash, Darkseid, and Captain Cold. However, the recently added Red Hood has undergone a number of balance adjustments, such as Hammer Fury starting a frame earlier, a decrease in Shrapnel Blast damage, and an increase in Shrapnel Blast MeterBurn damage.

4th DLC fighter possibly leaked by mistake...

Spoiler

Stoked he's in the game, hopefully there will be some sort of tease at SDCC along with some Starfire gameplay/release date.

 

[zeptron]

I'm excited, but also a bit disappointed because it'll also mean that Raiden will be DLC as well.

 

[CB Fan]

Yeah Raiden is a waste of space. Still holding out hope it's not true.

 

[X Knight]

Yeah Raiden is a waste of space. Still holding out hope it's not true.

yeah, one MK guest character is enough, imo.

especially when it comes at the expense of a DC character, either new or returning.

You'll include Raiden but not someone like Static Shock or Black Lightning?

You'll leave out Sinestro or Raven but include Raiden?

If they want another guest character, have it be someone like Spawn instead of Raiden.

That extra hovering Kori seems to have is gonna be fun.

Also, looks like another premier skin around 40 seconds in.

 

[CB Fan]

She looks great! And is that Bizzarro?

 

[Sparta*]

yes Bizarro!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[X Knight]

Starfire looks really nice!! ( both gameplay and looks )

I saw another clip of her vs Darkseid, and her intro dialogue referenced Trigon.

maybe that Trigon name drop could be a hint at Raven later on?

probably not, but I can dream and hope, right?

 

[NongEyeGong]

Man, Starfire looks great. All of the DLC characters have been really top notch thus far and I love that they're still giving us premiere skins as well. In the livestream, Boon did state that the last DLC character (of either FP2 or FP3) is going to be a huge surprise that no one will see coming. Wonder who he could be referring to? Spawn? Somebody that's hopefully not Raiden?

[FONT=&quot]Fighting games punch to the top of June’s NPD sales chart[/FONT][FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]July 21, 2017[/FONT]
[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
The top-selling games for June have been revealed, and there's a number of surprises to be found[/FONT][FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]Read more[/FONT]


[/FONT]

Even the ever-popular Grand Theft Auto V has been kicked to the curb.

The June NPD results are out, and shockingly, it’s Tekken 7 at the top.
June turned out to be a spectacular month for fighting games, with Tekken 7 bringing in the most revenue overall, Injustice 2 claiming second place, and Nintendo’s Arms snagging fifth place despite that number discounting digital sales. The Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy also sold remarkably well, checking in at fourth place on the top-grossing list despite having only been out for the last two days of June.
In fact, the whole top twenty list is pretty crazy, so check it out. Keep in mind that the sales numbers aren’t completely accurate, as NPD doesn’t track sales data from certain digital platforms.

• Tekken 7
• Injustice 2
• Grand Theft Auto V
• Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy
• Arms
• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
• Mario Kart 8
• Overwatch
• NBA 2K17
• Horizon Zero Dawn
• Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands
• Call of Duty: Black Ops III
• MLB 17: The Show
• Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege
• Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
• Battlefield 1
• Minecraft
• The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind
• FIFA 17
• Forza Horizon 3

The end of June also marks the halfway point of 2017, and the NPD results showed some interesting figures for how 2017’s sales are shaping up. Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands is the best-selling game of the year so far, followed by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and For Honor.
Hardware sales for June leaned in favor of the PlayStation 4, boosted by the release of the Gold version of the console. According to one analyst, 2017 was the “best performing June for PlayStation 4 unit sales to date,” and the PlayStation 4 took home the title of best-selling console of June 2017.


The Nintendo Switch, too, continues to have a big impact on the hardware market. The Switch isn’t stealing sales from the Xbox One or PlayStation 4, however. Instead, the market is growing to accommodate it, with hardware spending increasing 19 percent from 2016.

I wouldn't look too much into that. Sub-Zero mentions several other MK characters in his dialogue. But we already know that they all aren't gonna be added.

Hell Captain Cold was mentioned in a clash between Flash and Killer Frost in the first game.

I know.

that's why I'm not getting my hopes up.

 

[CB Fan]

I'm guessing we'll receive an Aquaman Premiere costume of Jason Momoa and gear for everyone else come November.

 

[NongEyeGong]

Alfred!

If only!

 

[X Knight]

this could be nothing. it could be one giant, mean tease. and I'm not getting my hopes up too much.

but, yesterday, Boon retweeted a pic of Raven in her N52 armor. And the artist apparently works on the MK and Injustice games.

https://***********/marconelor/status/889522918438215680

again, I know Boon likes to tease. And this doesn't confirm Raven.

but out of all the DC characters, Boon just happens to retweet a pic of her?

and at this crucial time when we are all anticipating the remaining DLC characters?

plus, not to mention, we got the Trigon reference in Starfire's intro dialogue with Darkseid a few days ago.........

hmmmm......

please be true........please be true.......please be true.......

please give me the one character I've really wanted in Injustice 2!!

Raven's face must be redeemed!!

 

[Sparta*]

I thought Boon said all DLC characters were to be new characters and wont be returning characters?

anyway did you guys check out the unofficial patch notes? some pretty big changes coming

Aquamans MB tentacle strike no longer launches so no comboing after anymore trident rush damage and meter gain nerfed, overall damage nerf, R.I.P Aquaman...

I thought Boon said that no prior DLC characters would return as DLC again.

so, no Zatanna, Batgirl, MM, Lobo, etc.

And, I believe Boon tweeted out a poll asking followers if they'd like to see new characters or returning characters as DLC - with new characters winning the poll.

however, that's just a poll to gauge fan interest and that doesn't mean NRS won't include returning characters as DLC.

I watched the stream and a fair portion of that stuff went over my head, but I'm glad Canary got a buff. She's got some fairly glaring weaknesses.

most of the fighting game lingo/jargon that I read and hear on the net these days goes over my head.......lol.

 

[Sparta*]

the lingo isnt too bad once you get used to it

I still havent even played as sub-zero lol I havent installed the patch from a couple weeks ago because im still doing the special move credit glitch, im trying to get all the green epic gear sets, im only missing 5 pieces then ill have them all (Batman - kryptonite infused breastplate, Harley - explosive corset, Joker - face of evil, Bane - batcrusher armor, Darkseid - warbringer of the cosmos cuirass) i've literally opened thousands of gold mother boxes and still dont have these pieces, its pretty insane, and yes its making me insane as well but im invested now lol

 

[X Knight]

speaking of the lingo, are there any good guides/sites online that explain the lingo and jargon?

and speaking of gear, that's another reason why I really want Raven.

she could have such cool, epic looking gear. heck, even her armored N52 look would feel right at home in the Injustice world.

 

[Mister J]

Bizarro am #1!

Someone on Reddit mentioned how good his teeth were and now I can't unsee it.
