Granted, I've seen some pretty badass combos with her. While we certainly need much more time to tell, at the moment it's hard to disagree. I've seen a lot of people claim that Cheetah is the worst character in Injustice 2.
I will be very interested to see how the character performs in some bigger tournaments, but for now, I do not see Scarecrow being high up in the eventual tier list. Of all the characters on my worst potential list, I think Scarecrow could end up surprising me the most. His character ability is shaky too as getting caught up in one combo or clash will cause you to lose all of the progress you've been making in building that meter not to mention that the really great move you obtain from gaining more of that meter makes you super way easier to combo into and land. I will say that Scarecrow has some good spacing tools and a decent enough combo game, but his lack of speed and absolutely dreadful super timing make him feel very lackluster. But unfortunately, I feel that he doesn't have much room to grow. Honestly, he's one of my favorite additions to the Injustice roster. Now that we've covered the best, let's cover the worst. I've also been hearing some buzz about Poison Ivy and the playable version of Brainiac, but not enough to garner the attention that the characters above have gotten.
However, I think once players start recognizing the lasers better Darkseid won't be as big of a problem. His lasers are definitely hard to read and his health is ridiculous. The pre-order exclusive character, Darkseid , is gaining a lot of attention. Only the future will tell whether or not Deadshot is a real threat, or if he'll be dropped after players discover how their mains can get past Deadshot's wall of bullets.īefore I get to the characters I believe have the worst potential, I wanna briefly mention some characters that I still think have potential, but not as much as the ones mentioned above. At best, I believe he can be the best zoning character above Dr. Now while I do think Deadshot has a lot of potential, I do strongly think that he will not be the best character in the game. If the player is good at reading his opponent and keeping pressure at a distance, Deadshot can be absolutely lethal. His projectiles are extremely varied and can zone out a lot of the cast. All you need to do is watch some of Sonicfox's Deadshot gameplay to see just some of his potential. However, I still think that Deadshot has potential to be a legit threat in the Injustice 2 meta. And of course, he can get absolutely bodied by characters like Supergirl. Yes, a lot of people that use him are spam happy noobs. Okay okay, let's put aside the fact that Deadshot is pretty much the Injustice 2 version of Deathstroke from the first game at this time. Let's hope that the pros show us all the true potential of this awesome character. Sonicfox uses the character a bit and shows off exactly what he's capable of when put into the right hands. I could see some pretty hype hard reads being made by Captain Cold players further down the line in tournament.Ĭaptain Cold isn't the toughest or most used character at the moment, but I think he has room to grow even more. If the player is good at making reads, Captain Cold has multiple moves that can capitalize that those reads.
His character ability allows him to utilize three unique and useful moves that can turn the tides of any match when used properly. He has both a solid zoning and up-close style to him. While he doesn't really excel in these two play-styles, he is balanced enough in these two areas to make him a genuinely tough character to handle in matches.Ĭaptain Cold is actually one of the more technical characters in Injustice 2. Fate and Deadshot, he has a good closeup game as well as a good zoning game. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw quite a bit of Black Adam players in future tournaments. The pressure that Black Adam can apply from any distance makes him an early game threat to everybody. Black Adam's combo game is also extremely solid. While a lot of them are similar if not the exact same as they were in the original Injustice, they seem to come out faster than before.
His moves are extremely tricky to pin down. The only veteran fighter to make my Best Potential list, Black Adam is just as scary if not more than the original Injustice version of him.
