    Some Injustice news just got announced. It is releasing in Europe on April 19 and a special edition that comes with an arcade stick is being released (I'm not sure if this version is available in Europe or not though)

    Check out the image of the stick.

    I guess Doomsday is confirmed so...

    why is everyone calling Captain Marvel Shazam these days? Did something happen to him in 52 or something?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,333 ✭✭✭Sairus

    I've always called him Marvel, but I saw a bunch of people call him Shazam and assumed I'd missed something :pac:

    Checking Wiki has informed me: "The character was also officially renamed "Shazam" at this time. (New 52)"

    Kind of a shame. As hilariously confusing and idiotic it was having a character called Captain Marvel headlining for DC, Shazam is ****ing terrible.

    Wasn't "Shazam" his magic phrase for doing stuff?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,333 ✭✭✭Sairus

    Yep. He gets the powers of Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury.

    The fight stick features a “non-skid foam underside, a lockout feature for the Start, Select and Guide buttons, as well as adjustable illumination for the buttons and joystick.”

    I'll definitely pick this up if we get it over here. Although I'm left with a problem as I really want the statue as well! :pac:

    PDP are making it so it will be class on the outside...not so much inside.
    here's hoping there smart enough to make it easy to sanwa everything up.
    led buttons as standard is pretty cool though.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 25,870 Mod ✭✭✭✭Doctor DooM


    Think I will stick with my qanba.

    Getting quite hype for this game, looking forward to immediately learning some annoying bull**** which will give me a temporary advantage over everyone until people actually learn to play the game at which point I will lose interest.

    Hopefully it's just a clear shaft cover on a metal shaft.

    What are we gonna do about your VSHG btw?

    That date's only two days in the difference to MK's release date in 2011. MK came out April 21st, if memory serves me correctly.

    NetherRealm continue with their apparent desire to remind people of Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 with every trailer they release.

    Has it been said whether they are bringing out frame data?
    I saw something about being frame data for special moves,but anything about frame data for everything?
    Was thinking of making an app for it if theres full frame data


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,333 ✭✭✭Sairus


    I really cannot believe they're using the same trailer idea as Marvel. I can only assume they're doing it deliberately to ride on their coattails somewhat, but it seems utterly ridiculous.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,041 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    So what's the current confirmed roster for this and from gameplay vids, does it look to be something of a MK9 clone?

    Including special move frame data without normals would be a bit silly, can't see that happening.

    Well, this is the franchise that did Mk vs DC after Marvel vs Capcom...

    Actually, it's the franchise that was MK after SF, so, like, long history of it :D
    So what's the current confirmed roster for this and from gameplay vids, does it look to be something of a MK9 clone?

    Supes, Bats, Nightwing, flash, Wonder Woman, Green arrow, grundy, cyborg, catwoman, joker, luthor, deathstroke I think.

    It looks mostly MK-ey, but back to block sounds like one good change :)

    found out some interesting stuff talking to paulo in a chat of a tourny stream
    *each char has there own air normals
    *air chains/combos were in at one point but removed
    *on double ko both player hop up with 10% health, 5% if happens again and 1% the 3rd time
    *clash system can only be used after 1st health bars in gone
    *no ex moves,just "meter burn promoves" (like ex moves in mk vs dc)
    *when asked "who have a divekick" he replied "never mind divekicks, ive made the best anti anti air move ever,wait till you see"


    also i got one of the guys who does the videos/podcasts for injustice to do a char request video for swamp thing,
    im going to be so pissed if swamp thing isnt in the game

    Do characters not have individual air normals in MK? Really?

    I'm glad air chains are not in, keep it as different to UMvC as possible :)

    Clash system existing at all makes me a sad panda.

    Strong AAs are an interesting choice, usually in a game the weaker the AAs, the stronger offence is (or at least, the more important footsies are). A defensive footsie based game suits me but not perhaps the casual crowd.

    I seriously think swamp thing has no chance in hell... sorry. Least you have Grundy who's pretty close to him.

    He said a strong Anti Anti-air. ie: something that is good against AAs.

    You missed a couple, DooM. I know it's hard to keep track of all the Bat Family floating around ;D

    Full confirmed roster is:
    • Bane
    • Batman
    • Catwoman
    • Cyborg
    • Deathstroke
    • Flash
    • Green Arrow
    • Green Lantern
    • Harley Quinn
    • Joker
    • Lex Luthor
    • Nightwing
    • Solomon Grundy
    • Superman
    • Wonder Woman
    Additionally, Aquaman, Ares, Black Adam, Doomsday, Raven, Robin, Captain Marvel, Martian Manhunter and Sinestro have all been mentioned/leaked as being in the game (or possibly just the tie in comic) in some form, but it's not confirmed if they're playable.

    Sigh... so I see.

    God forbid people should actually have to learn how to play a fighting game and have to worry about getting punished for jumping brainlessly.

    Clash is back in too.

    Sure they have enough to be thinking about now that they have to be keeping track of what all the unique air normals each character has instead of just that downward punch from MK :pac:

    Well if they have the faintest glimmer of sense this amazing anti-(anti-air) will be unsafe as all hell on block/whiff.

    in mk9 no, in other mks yea, baraka's jump kick/jump punch was epic in mk2.

    im waiting to see the clash in action before decide my thoughts on (it has been changed since the gameplay footage released)

    yea when i asked paulo to at least out him in as DLC like happening with lobo and he only knew swamp thing from the 80s movie and not the cartoon, then again hes not the guy who picks the chars, he just makes the moves/balance etc

    i did :cool:
    sent it to a few of NRS as well.

    its ed boon's own fault for teasing swamp thing when he posted a tweet of a swamp thing comic months ago, they had the idea so im just forcing them to re-think it lol
    at this point id say release roster is looking very doubtful with grundy and bane in there but i can always still claw at the hope of DLC.

    anyways if swamp thing isnt in id be playing who ever is the games kuh-bawl so it just better off for everyone if swamp thing gets in :pac:

    Well, in the newest DC continuity, Wonder Woman is the illegitimate child of Zeus.

    Which means I will kind of have to play her, or esle he'll probably stare at me and sigh all night long.

    Lots of interesting stuff here:
    http://shoryuken.com/2013/01/30/injustice-gods-among-us-to-feature-optional-street-fighter-style-controls-online-training-mode-new-story-details-and-trailer-released/

    Push blocks (that cost meter)
    Option to turn off environmental gimmicks
    Online training mode
    Option to switch between MK style directional inputs and SF style quarter circles.

    That last one is very interesting.

    Be warned, there's major story spoilers at the end of the article, but they're highlighted well in advance so it's still safe to read.

    Looks like the story is basically the CSA vs the JLA.

    I wonder will "good luthor" be in it.

    Side note, you should all watch the animated "Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths". Really great movie.

    In fact, go watch all the DC animated movies. Aside from Superman/Batman: Public Enemies they're all of a shockingly high quality.

    I don't even like DC comics at all, but I devour everything they animate.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 25,870 Mod ✭✭✭✭Doctor DooM


    Yeah I've seen most of the DC animated movies, the Dark Knight Returns ones are especially awesome.

    Oh and it just occured to me...
    This plot isn't like the CSA- it's pretty much the EXACT plot to Kingdom come, a very famous painted comic book.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,919 ✭✭✭1man3letters


    so apparently you can opt to turn off negative edge, thank the lord!

    aswell with wakeups unlike with mk where its 11 invincible frames and 20 for ex one, each move will be have its own values.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,333 ✭✭✭Sairus


    Just when you thought you had enough Batman in your life.

    injustice-killercroc.jpg

    Killer Croc, Riddler and Penguin.

    However, I very much doubt they are playable. The three character models shown above are directly lifted out of Arkham Asylum. (God I ****ing hate Arkham Croc. I'm not particularly interested in Croc in general, but this is up there with Harley levels of disdain. Can't beat The Animated Series Croc.) I wouldn't even believe this picture was real except Ed Boon himself tweeted it.

    Theories currently run that this is just a random story mode thing, or that it's from an Arkham Asylum stage where the inmates act as environment hazards. I hope for the latter. That'd be awesome.
    You can see one of Croc's fingers sticking through Flash's head, so I would assume this is from a stage as the head grab would have to generally fit the varied skull size/positioning of the whole cast. If it was story mode they would have animated the grip correctly.

    Apparently there was a bunch of DLC names leaked a while back and one of them was the Arkham pack, so if it is a stage, it could be DLC. I couldn't verify that leak though, so I dunno.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,041 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    What do you have against the Arkham designs?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,333 ✭✭✭Sairus


    What do you have against the Arkham designs?
    I actually love all of them except for Harley and Croc! :pac:

    Harley looks like a goth prostitute and Croc's teeth are so big he could barely open his mouth let alone bite anyone. (Bane's also a little iffy, but still passable. Catwoman would look great if her catsuit wasn't unzipped down to her navel.)

    Is the thing about the visual assets from another company being used not a bit unusual?

    I'm suprised I'm not reading mad fan speculation over it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,041 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    The Arkham games and Injustice are published by WB Games. They'll own everything anyway.
