The first event, titled “To End All Wars,” will let you unlock Wonder Woman’s gear in the console version of Injustice 2, starting today.

I'm ready for this to come out too.

Here is breakdown of Red Hood from eventhubs:

Injustice 2's first DLC character, Red Hood, is going to be the focus of today's Watchtower stream.



Red Hood blasts his way into Injustice 2 on June 13th, check out character breakdown right here

Injustice 2's new DLC character will be hitting consoles in just under one week's time.

Players that have purchased the Deluxe edition, Ultimate Pack, the Ultimate Edition or the Fighter Pack will get Red in just six days. Everyone else will have to wait until some time the following week for their chance to purchase and download him.

Ready for our Red Hood character breakdown? Read on.
Please note that the damage in these clips will seem unnaturally high. This is because Red Hood is at level 20, and the dummy Joker is at level one.

Generally speaking, Red hood is a traditional zoning character, but becomes unique to the player controlling him via the use of the Mine and his character power.

As always, we kick things off with the character's Super move:

Of course, Red uses his guns to fight his foes. He can leap into the air, blast at his opponents with overhead and mid shots. This will likely be a big part of Red's zoning game as it comes from a fairly advantageous angle:

Red Hood's mine will be integral to his play as it seems to be his main combo starter. It's a low attack that can be placed at three different ranges, and the meter burn version pops up foes for a full combo:

In addition to his gun play, Red Hood can toss out Gotham Stars as alternative projectiles. These can be thrown either horizontally or at an upward angle for anti-air purposes:

xhttps://clips.twitch.tv/DarlingPunchyRadishSquadGoals

If Red wants to quickly close the distance, he can use his Lethal Lunge. This sees him launch himself at his foe, but has two different meter burn options. He can either use meter to squeeze off a shot early in his lunge, or he can use it upon impact with the opponent to go into a gunshot barrage.

He can do a similar move backwards to get out of trouble. This acts as his reversal on wake up for the most part:

Go in too hard on Red Hood and you may eat a parry:

xhttps://clips.twitch.tv/SpineyHorribleTrollLitty

Red Hood's character power sees him electrify his guns and go all "Gun-Fu" on his opposition. The idea here is that he'll be mixing his opponents up as they block the incoming barrage of attacks, and will have to try to guess the final follow up mix up as Red attempts to open them up:

I'm surprised they made Red Hood a zoner. I wasn't expecting that at all.

Injustice 2 Sub-Zero



Warner Bros. and NetherRealm Studios had shown off Sub-Zero's official Injustice 2 trailer.

Sub-Zero is a lethal cryomancer and leader of the reformed Lin Kuei clan. When Sub-Zero was younger, the Lin Kuei were corrupted and destroyed from within, staining their honor.

As you would expect, Sub-Zero fights using a variety of different ice-based attacks in Injustice 2. From what we see in the trailer, he resembles his Mortal Kombat X counterpart, but with some interesting changes such as ice clones being mapped to his character power.







"We did the same thing with Scorpion in the first Injustice game," Boon said on stage during today's presentation. "We really wanted to see how an Injustice version of a Mortal Kombat player [would] fit into the game."

NetherRealm Community Specialist Tyler Lansdown notes that those who played as Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat X will be able to play him well in Injustice 2. Though he has a similar feel, there are several new tricks for players to master.

As we mentioned before, Sub-Zero's character is his ice clones. He also has the ability to blow through oncoming projectiles with his meter burn Ice Ball.

Much like Scorpion in Injustice: Gods Among Us, Sub-Zero's new look was designed by legendary comic book artist Jim Lee.

"Jim Lee is one of the co-publishers at DC and he's also an amazing artist, so we just wanted to go full circle with that and have a DC Comics representation of a Mortal Kombat character," Boon explained.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sub-Zero Release Date

Creative Director at NetherRealm Studios Ed Boon took to Twitter to reveal the icy fighter's official release date.

According to the tweet, we will be seeing Sub-Zero join the fight on July 11th. This is likely the early access release date, meaning those who purchased the Injustice 2 Ultimate Edition or character pass will be able to access the character on the aforementioned date, before everyone else.

DLC characters in Injustice 2 so far have come with a price tag of $5.99 each. Though we haven't seen official details on pricing for Sub-Zero, it is very likely that he will follow the same pattern.

9 new contenders are joining Injustice 2 as DLC, and so far we know the identities of three. Among the first trio of DLC characters revealed are Red Hood, who is available now, Sub-Zero, and Starfire, who we have yet to see gameplay for.

Sub-Zero is the second Mortal Kombat character to be featured in the Injustice series, Scorpion being the first in Injustice: Gods Among Us. Based on the DLC character silhouettes, however, we may also be seeing Raided join Injustice 2 down the road.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Injustice 2 July update patch; certain stage interactables now restricted to single use per combo

The July update for Injustice 2 is available, and sees quite a few changes for gameplay, stages and individual characters.

It seems as though developers felt a few of the stage interactables were a bit too overpowered, as they've reduced a handful in their effectiveness.

Some, like the statue in Atlantis or the console in the Batcave, can only be utilized once per combo now.

Sub-Zero's Injustice 2 shaders and gear options leaked, revealing options to look like other ninjas from Mortal Kombat

A user on YouTube known as TheHackingFreak has uploaded a video showcasing Sub-Zero's shaders and gear options in Injustice 2.

While we don't get a chance to see any early gameplay of Sub-Zero, the aesthetics that we see from the character select screen are pretty revealing of something cool. Sub-Zero might have some of the best shaders in the game.

Recall that in the Mortal Kombat series, there are multiple ninja-like characters, similar to Sub-Zero. Before the 3D era, these characters all looked the same except for different colored outfits.

It seems that Sub-Zero can use the colors of the other ninjas. Characters like Rain, Noob Saibot, Reptile, and more.

This makes us wonder if Sub-Zero will be able to utilize the moves from these other characters given the right gear setup. Obviously, if this is the case then they wouldn't be tournament viable but it would be cool nonetheless.

Injustice 2 celebrates the Fourth of July with a firework-filled Multiverse event

Fourth of July has happen! For those of us here in the states, we'll likely be celebrating with fireworks that piss off my dog and barbecues.

However, if you're the type that would rather keep to yourself and get some gaming in, NetherRealm Studios has you covered. A special, Fourth of July-themed Multiverse event has kicked off today in Injustice 2 that puts some great rewards up for grabs.

The Independence Day challenge lets players battle through a series of different fightsthat are lit up with fireworks throughout. These spectacles in the sky aren't just for show, as each set does something different mid-match.

You'll experience firework pillars that shoot from the ground in red, white, and blue colors -- each with fire, lightning, and ice effects, respectively. You'll also come across some that explode in the air and hurt each player, heal them, give them armor, super meter, and more.

Not only will you receive credits and Mother Boxes for completing each mission, but if you clear event's three objectives, you'll score 20,000 credits, two Platinum and a Diamond Mother Box.

Below are some screenshots of the Independence Day Multiverse event. Be sure to play through and get your rewards.

Injustice 2 Watchtower Stream #14 Sub-Zero



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sub-Zero has a command throw, an invincible slide, and an Ice Klone bear in Injustice 2

The NetherRealm Studios crew showed off the ins and outs of Sub-Zero during their latest Injustice 2 Watchtower stream. The frosty ninja takes some heavy inspiration from his Mortal Kombat X counterpart, but adds some handy new tricks to his arsenal.

In Injustice 2, Sub-Zero is a defensive fighter who slows down the match and makes his opponents come to him. Using his Ice Ball and Ice Klone moves, he can force the opponent to take risks and capitalize with hard-hitting combos.

Though Sub-Zero excels on defense, he also has the ability to get aggressive. Players will want to steer clear of the corner when fighting against him.

To get us started, let's check out his super.

xhttps://clips.twitch.tv/PlumpPoorPartridgeCopyThis

Normals and chains

Sub-Zero has some strong normal attacks in Injustice 2. His down + 2 uppercuts with his sword, which works very well as an anti-air. He also sees the return of his forward + 2 from MKX, which goes into his throw.

3 - 3 is a new attack that is fast and hits as a mid. It's great for punishes and can be special cancelled for combo confirms or mix ups.

xhttps://clips.twitch.tv/PlumpColdbloodedFriesBabyRage

xhttps://clips.twitch.tv/FuriousInnocentConsoleTakeNRG

Ice Klone, Slide, and Burst

When it comes to special moves, Sub-Zero has much at his disposal. Though his regular Ice Ball doesn't freeze opponents on impact, the meter burn version does and leaves them open to a hard-hitting combo.

His slide is the go-to wake up attack as it is fully invincible on start up. Landing this attack successfully will pop your opponent up and over Sub-Zero's shoulder for a side switch.

Sub-Zero also has his ice burst at the ready, which is a nice way to make his opponents back off. With meter, Sub-Zero will launch into a shoulder tackle that is advantage on block.

xhttps://clips.twitch.tv/IgnorantHumbleWeaselSeemsGood

xhttps://clips.twitch.tv/ShakingKawaiiEggnogTBTacoLeft

xhttps://clips.twitch.tv/InspiringSpikyChipmunkPeteZarollTie

Ice hammer and command throw

While in the air, Sub-Zero has access to his ice hammer move. This attack is safe on block and hits overhead. Though it doesn't do too much damage, the meter burn version adds a follow up attack.

On the ground, Sub can go for his command throw. With the meter burn version causing a restand, this move has a ton of utility and can be used for many different situations.

xhttps://clips.twitch.tv/RepleteViscousOryxPhilosoraptor

xhttps://clips.twitch.tv/EsteemedTriangularQueleaLitFam

Character Power: Ice Klone

Instead of being mapped to a special move, Sub-Zero's Ice Klone falls under his character trait. They can be placed on the ground or in the air, and when meter burned two klones will appear on screen creating an amazing defensive shield for Sub-Zero.

xhttps://clips.twitch.tv/TawdryAlertHamsterPhilosoraptor

xhttps://clips.twitch.tv/AntediluvianRoundWheelShadyLulu

Loadout moves

Below are some of Sub-Zero's unlockable loadout moves. These include his classic ice puddle attack, a teleport, and a klone projectile.

xhttps://clips.twitch.tv/BusyIntelligentLemurHassaanChop

xhttps://clips.twitch.tv/BlitheTalentedAardvarkKappa

xhttps://clips.twitch.tv/CulturedPunchySalmonOpieOP

Ice Klone bear

But the best loadout feature of all? The ability to create an Ice Klone shaped like a bear. Based on what was said on stream, it appears that this is only accessible when a full set of a specific gear is equipped.

Sub-Zero is available now.

Black Manta leaked as an Injustice 2 DLC character by Xbox Live Marketplace

While we still haven’t seen a reveal trailer for Starfire — who will complete Injustice 2’s Fighter Pack 1 for Digital Deluxe and Ultimate Edition owners — it seems that leaks have already begun to spring for the upcoming Fighter Pack 2.

Earlier today, CabooseXBL, a notable YouTuber who covers NetherRealm Studios’ games, has reported in his latest video that the Xbox Live Marketplace has leaked Black Manta as a future DLC character, with a tab on the Xbox One’s dashboard that simply reads, “Fight as Black Manta in Injustice 2.” Though we’ve seen a very convincing silhouette of Aquaman’s nemesis, who currently only exists in the game as part of the Stage Transition in Atlantis, we’ve yet to hear anything about any of the other 6 DLC characters coming to the game after Red Hood, Sub-Zero, and Starfire have all been released.

Though any big NRS news was absent amidst the tidal wave of announcements on Sunday at the Evo World Finals, Ed Boon Tweeted earlier this month that WB Games will have a presence at the upcoming San Diego Comic Con this weekend, where last year they revealed Wonder Woman and Blue Beetle for the DC brawler. Could we be seeing a gameplay trailer for Starfire, as well as a Fighter Pack 2 reveal in just a few short days? Only time will tell. But for now, fans of Black Manta can rest assured that he will be coming to challenge Arthur Curry for control of Injustice’s seas eventually. You can see the full video — which includes a shot of the dashboard leak — as well as Ed Boon’s Tweet, below.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Starfire Injustice 2 reveal set for today at 1 p.m. PDT

Looks as though NetherRealm Studios will be taking the opportunity to reveal something Injustice 2-related at San Diego Comic-Con this year. According to a recent tweet from the game's Twitter account, a special live stream event is set to be held on DC All Access tomorrow.

Kicking off at 1 p.m. PDT / 4 p.m. EDT, the broadcast will feature NRS Creative Director Ed Boon. It's no secret what is set to be revealed as the tweet included an image of Starfire -- Injustice 2's next DLC fighter.

Starfire is a part of the game's first fighter pack, which also includes Red Hood and Mortal Kombat's Sub-Zero. Both of these characters are already playable in-game, and Starfire is the last of this batch to be included.

Further confirming the time and day, a tweet from Boon reads "DC all access tomorrow." With that in mind, it is very likely that tomorrow is Starfire's day.

Injustice 2 Watchtower Starfire

Written By: Nyu Nozomi Hyuga

3 Months has pass by when Injustice 2 was released, and saw the First Fighter Pack (Red Hood aka Jason Todd, Sub-Zero, & Starfire). Which 2 have been released but only one is left, which today we will have a Watchtower featuring Starfire giving out a breakdown:

Did you watch this?

[Nyu Nozomi Hyuga]

Starfire's ability to cancel any special into her trait complements her zoning and combo game - Injustice 2 breakdown and info

She is definitely looking like she'll be among one of the game's more powerful zoning characters based on looking at how her moves work. A number of ranged options are available.

When the Twitch chat heard that she would be a beginner's character, many were displeased that the flashiness of her combos would suffer as a result. Well, it certainly appears as though she has a unique combo option that we'll see throughout the highlights...

First off, in case you forgot, here is her super once again.

xhttps://clips.twitch.tv/TenderOriginalWormBudBlast

Starfire has a few attacks where she'll shoot out a laser to extend her reach. There are ways to use alternate variations of these moves to further extend the range at the cost of safety.

xhttps://clips.twitch.tv/HyperManlyShinglePoooound

Her zoning game is probably the highlight for the character. She has a standard projectile, which can be ducked under easily.

She also has an air version of this projectile. Meter burning these projectiles will cause her to shoot a flurry of additional projectiles downward, which can't be ducked under.

Her cluster bomb has close, medium, far, and very far variations. These projectiles are multi-hitting and are said to be very good on hit and block (which likely means that they leave Starfire at positive frames).

The meter burn version of her cluster bombs creates a slow moving projectile that will launch the opponent upon hit. It is said to be unsafe upclose so you'll want to be careful as to how you use it.

xhttps://clips.twitch.tv/FreezingShinyVampireShadyLulu

Next are Starfire's flight attacks and a hair whip move. Both moves are unsafe normally, but become safe if meter burned.

The hair whip move is especially good as a wakeup attack since it has invincibility if used that way. While it is safe on block if meter burned, be aware of the opponent neutral jumping it for the punish.

xhttps://clips.twitch.tv/PlainEnergeticPastaHeyGuys

If you read the opponent's neutral jump, you can use this rotating air attack. It's not invincible on wakeup though...

xhttps://clips.twitch.tv/SolidReliableRadicchioYouDontSay

Starfire's trait allows her to fire a beam. If the button is held, it will shoot out longer for more damage.

It works a lot like Supergirl's in that it has a meter that regenerates over time as it is used. It hits high, but the meterburn version will make the last hit hit mid.

What is particularly interesting about this trait is that it can be cancelled from any special move. This complements both her zoning tools and works as a combo ender.

xhttps://clips.twitch.tv/BlushingAlertPandaBleedPurple

xhttps://clips.twitch.tv/ObliqueOptimisticMeatloafNomNom

If you are interested in her gear moves, here they are. She also has a Blackfire (her evil sister) shader.

Injustice 2 Fighter Pack 2 to be revealed at Gamescom Today

Injustice 2 will be seeing its next big announcement at Gamescom. Fighter Pack 2, featuring the game's next three DLC characters, is set to be revealed at the gaming expo.

Today at 5 a.m. CDT / 3 a.m. PDT, NetherRealm Studios is holding a live stream on which top DJs Steve Aoki and Don Diablo will face off in Injustice 2. The two competitors will slug it out in five matches for charity.

A donation of $5,000 will be made to the Aoki Foundation, founded by Steve Aoki himself, which focuses on finding advances in brain science through funding research in regenerative medicine and brain preservation. The foundation also supports humanitarian causes dear and near to Steve Aoki such as disaster relief, developmental disabilities, and animal-rights.

In addition to the celebrity showdown, NetherRealm will be showing an exclusive reveal of Injustice 2's Fighter Pack 2. This likely means we will be finding out which three characters are set to join the game next.

From Mortal Kombat's Raiden to Black Manta, there is quite a bit of speculation on who is coming as DLC based on the initial silhouettes released for the characters. You can see them in this story's banner.

All of the action is set to take place on both Twitch and NetherRealm Studios' Twitch channel.

Did you watch this?

I don't normally watch streams, I put them out there if anyone was interested. When I put Youtube links I browse bit (not fully see) to see what they're showing so I know which one to post.

[Nyu Nozomi Hyuga]

Hellboy, Black Manta and Raiden join Injustice 2 in upcoming Fighter Pack 2

The three characters you can look forward to enjoying within the next few months are Raiden, Black Manta and the surprising inclusion of Hellboy. Raiden is most easily recognized from the Mortal Kombat series, Black Manta comes from the world of Aquaman, and Hellboy from his own comic book series published by Dark Horse.

Fighter Pack 2 will begin rolling out on September 12th, 2017. Those who own the Injustice 2 Ultimate Edition, the Injustice 2 Ultimate Pack, or Fighter Pack #2 will get early access to the first character on that day, though we are currently unsure which of the three fighters that will be.

You can purchase the Ultimate Edition for $99.99 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Players who have already purchased the standard edition of the game can get all of the same content in the Injustice 2 Ultimate Pack for $39.99.

First in-game screenshot of Injustice 2's Black Manta released

Black Manta is the first character of Injustice 2's Fighter Pack 2 that we'll be seeing. We get our first look at him in-game.

NetherRealm Studios Creative Director Ed Boon tweeted out a screenshot of the new character in action. The image shows Manta firing a large eye beam at Swamp Thing.

Whether this is a special move, his character power, or something else is unclear right now. However, we will be seeing an official gameplay reveal that will have the answers we seek very soon.

Since we have our trailer of Fighter Pack 2 which showed off Raiden, Black Manta, & Hellboy previously posted from Aug 24, 2017 at 2:15am. To start off gameplay reveals, we have our villain from Aquaman which is none other than Black Manta which he was part of a stage transition and now is loaded with lasers, rockets & harpoons. He can also hover around to give grounded opponents a hard time, lets check him out in action.



He will be coming in September 12th, and Deluxe owners will be getting him early.

Injustice 2 September patch available now - bug fixes, a few balance adjustments, new shaders, and new legendary gear tier

The September patch for Injustice 2 is now available for download, according to reports. There have been a few changes implemented that are probably worth noting.

While we've only had one patch that implemented major changes, bug fix patches have been fairly common in Injustice 2. Still, there are a number of balance adjustments present.

In particularly, the DLC characters have received the most adjustments this time around. Starfire and Sub-Zero are notable examples of this.

This patch also adds new shaders and gear. Whereas previously the highest tiered item was "epic," "legendary" is now the new highest tier of gear that can be collected.

Black Manta will be available on September 12th for those that have purchased Fighter Pack #2. His gameplay looks very interesting to those that enjoyed Sektor in Mortal Kombat 9 and Mortal Kombat X.

It's very likely that this patch is getting things ready for Black Manta before his release. Only seven days, after all.

Some Black Manta Content from eventhubs:



Black Manta is the first character for Season Pass 2. We'll get Mortal Kombat character Raiden and Hellboy a little later.

This breakdown went into a little further detail than what the trailer initially showed us.

What appears to be heavily emphasized with Black Manta are his mid range tools. He is also armed with many anti-zoning capabilities.

Certainly a worthy rival to Aquaman in this game. Black Manta looks as though he will be able to easily get around Aquaman's tentacle strike.

Let's take another look at Black Manta's super to get things started.

His ability to fight from a mid range is reflected in his normals. He has quite a bit of reach to work with.

His sweep is an eye beam. You likely won't be able to counter poke against this since it isn't a physical part of his body.

His Manta Rays special move is not a zoning tool. You'll use this up close as a multi-hitting move.

Meter burn it for additional damage and to keep it safe if blocked.

The Torpedo special works a lot like Raiden's Flying Man special from the Mortal Kombat series. This is also his wake up special, meaning it has invincibility if used after being knocked down.

It also has an air version to help Black Manta get around the stage easily. Just like the grounded version, if the opponent is caught in its path then they'll be taking a hard hit.

At the cost of meter, additional damage can be applied to both the grounded and air versions of this move.

This character is also armed with a harpoon gun. It doesn't work like Scorpion's spear as it will never grant you a combo extension opportunity.

What it does do, however, is switch sides with the opponent. While it isn't exactly a traditional zoning tool (and it will probably lose to projectiles), it is noted to have a fast recovery even on whiff; this makes it a move tht is difficult to punish, though not impossible.

Black Manta's rockets do not actually track the opponent. Instead, they occupy the same space every time.

If you want a combo extension, this is the move to meter burn.

While his rockets are not very similar to Sektor's as was initially thought, his teleport uppercut certainly does look like it. Use this to counter the opponent's zoning options.

Once again, you can extend your combos with this move if it is meter burned. Keep in mind that even if you do expend meter, this move is unsafe if blocked.

Finally, his trait allows him to... fly. It's his jetpack, after all.

You have a limited amount of fuel, so use it wisely. You can surely get past a character's zoning options with this.

Aquaman's tentacle strike, for example, won't be able to reach you if you are in the air...

He will become available for standalone purchase on September 19th for $5.99, you can get him now if you have Ultimate Edition, Deluxe Edition, Ultimate Pack, or Fighter Pack #2.

Injustice 2 Raiden & Black Lighting Gameplay Trailer

After the Injustice 2 Pro Series Grand Finals event came to its final conclusion, there was a special surprise that was shown. Raiden, the second character of the Fighter Pack #2, had some gameplay revealed.

The lightning Elder God will be joining Sub-Zero as the game's second Mortal Kombat guest character. I'm willing to bet that you're not too surprised to hear that he utilizes electricity during fights.

He will also have access to what appears to be a Black Lightning premiere skin. Like other skins of this nature, this will cause him to have a different voice and everything.

Raiden's super might actually rival Flash's in terms of just how awesome it looks. It creates the Mortal Kombat logo in lightning form on the moon itself.

Black Lightning's super animation and win pose differ from Raiden's in Injustice 2

We previously saw the official gameplay reveal of Raiden in Injustice 2. The trailer also showcased the Black Lightning premium skin for the character, which will be given to Ultimate Edition owners for free in October.

In Injustice 2, these premium skins take the foundation of a character and change their look to that of a similar, but different character complete with their own voice actor and lines. After watching the Raiden trailer, fans were left wondering how Black Lightning's super might appear, since the hard-hitting move features a giant Mortal Kombat dragon.

The official Injustice 2 Twitter account released a clip showing the super move in action, and it is indeed different than Raiden's. Instead of a dragon, Black Lightning utilizes a giant electrical hand to beat down his opponent.

This is mirrored in Black Lightning's win pose, as Raiden's also features the dragon.

Black Lightning's super also loses the stormy bridge scenery featured in Raiden's in exchange for using whatever stage the players are battling on.
