Hey, how's it going everyone!? OutlawClient here back with another episode of fighting
games Friday! and for this week, i decided to choose a newer fighting game compared to
the ones I've been playing previously and this is: Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate
edition, for the Xbox 360. Now Netherream Studios actually released the original version
back last year; I believe it was 2013 in April and the difference between the Ultimate edition
and standard edition is that this version comes with the six new characters alongside
all of their DLC costumes, so if you haven't yet got the game and you sort of want everything
that the game has to offer, then i'd definately say go with the ultimate edition. But then
again i'd say, if you already own the game then you can actually purchase the individual
pieces of DLC online, on the Xbox market place or the PlayStation network depending on what
you have so yeah, i'd say maybe it wouldn't be worth while investing in a brand new game
which costs quite a lot more and you should instead just buy the individual pieces...
But anyway, moving on to the game, I decided to go with Raven and to be honest, it's a
funny story because, as you already know like I said, when i come back from university I
don't really get much time to play, so i decided to choose six characters that i was interested
in playing and spent half an hour playing as them before so yeah! half an hour practice
on all of the character that i decided to choose and then i went straight online! so
as you'll see, i had some rather "Interesting" results (as you'll see later)(don't chu just
love it when i repeat like a broken record? :P))
So anyway, going up against Scorpion, the one character that was sort of--- well a DLC
character and was really surprising that he was in this game, because this is a DC game
but on to the match i'll get to it later, as you can see, Scorpion decided to use his
ultimate move on me and I get thrown around with spears in me... What a lovely way to
spend your weekend :P so the thing about the super moves is that you have meter at the
bottom of your screen, as you can see in that little circular type meter thing at the bottom
and when it is completely filled up, you can press both of the back buttons, so in this
case on the Xbox 360 controller, the Left trigger and right trigger and that will allow
you to activate your ultimate move but conversely, you can also use the individual bars for enhanced
moves which will give you a stronger special move. Oh and another thing that i love about
this game is that there are interact-able objects in the background, so certain objects
like you saw scarf--- sorr-- scarfy O_O like you saw Scarf... SCORPION! use before, he
can pull the pipe down and cause damage and you can also bound off of objects and stuffz
and it differs for each character... But anyway, getting Scorpion in this combo, and i practiced
this combo so much offline i'm surprised i managed to do it online and it didn't quite
kill him, so i finished him off with Raven's projectile!
Veryy nice! so i think overall playing as Scorp--- Raven so far, she's quite-- well
more of a zoner than anything else shes got quite a few useful moves, like her down forward
2 and down back 2 and really good range on them which can shut out quite a lot of opponents!
Anyway, on to the next match! So right here... AYE! what's that kid doing there!? wha-- wha...
I don't know what happened there! I think the boy just randomly walked on to the wrong
game or something... who knows. But no, that's actually shazam a.k.a captain Marvel, i'm
sure you'll know him if you're a comic book fan, but for those who don't know, he pretty
much has the power to transform into a super hero by saying the word "Shazam" although,
i do prefer to call him captain Marvel, because, let's be honest, as soon as you someone asks
you to introduce yourself: "Hey who are you!?" "oh my name is SHAZAM!" and he'll be transformed
right back into little billy, so yeah... probably not the best name!
But anyway, as you can see there, i managed to take the first round with Martian Manhunter
and he was going for the motorbike and i managed to blow him up and knock him out of that!
So anyway, Martian Manhunter is actually a new character, one of the DLC characters,
and one of my favourite characters that sort of got me interested in this games. He was
actually one of the most requested characters i believe so it's quite nice to see him in
the game! he can stretch his arm with his special character trait ability and i knew
one or two combos with him so it wasn't too bad i guess! so Shazam, I think he's been
taking private lessons with M. Bison because he just pulled off a psycho crusher there!
I dunno what this guy's doing listen mate, stick to your game ok!?
But anyway, finished off captain Marvel with a grab, and that'll be the end of the game!
so like i was saying with the traits, each character has their own individual trait which
is exclusive to them and oh my god... there's a naked martian standing right in front of
me, take us to the next match martian... thank you! so like i was saying with the traits,
it varies, so it might be something like increased power or new abilities like teleport or so
on but as i was saying it does vary so it's quite nice to just choose all of the characters
and further test it out! So anyway, up for the final match I have scorpion, a character
that i was also quite interested in, but sort of hesitant to play him at first, because
i know that this is a-- well obviously a game that features super heroes and DC super heroes
and villains, so not exactly what a lot of fans of the comic books would want to see,
but i do like scorpion and i'm quite a big fan of the mortal kombat series so for me
it was a no brainer to choose him! now up against deathstroke, one of my favourite
DC characters to be honest well DC villains anyway but after playing him in a few matches
online, i think my opinions changed quite a lot of him... THE SPAM JYEEEZUUUS! but he's
quite a good character in the right hands, but unfortunately, you will see a lot of spammers
that decide to just stay at the edge of the screen and use his guns, so yeah very annoying,
but, with a character like scorpion, he's extremely effective against him, because he
can teleport and cut out a lot of the deathstroke nonsense! ya know the deathstroke hubbly bubblay...
which i know you obviously don't want to see! So taking a kick to the face by deathstroke!
ooh...not nice at all... so every time i use the spear, i keep thinking
that i'm going to get a free hit like in Mortal Kombat 9, but of course, you have to use the
enhanced attack to get that. But right there as you saw deathstroke decided to do a wager,
and the wager is quite a nice system in this game, it allows you to potentially regain
health and t can only be activated if you press forward twice against the opponent and
RT (while being comboed) and that's of course if you have one bar of health left and you
can wager a random button, which will allow you to, as I said potentially restore health,
but if you guess wrong (and wager less meter than your opponent) then you'll take damage,
plus lose meter, so it's not always the best choice. But anyway, managed to get that final
hit on deathstroke and take him out! There we go! let's bring him on a nice toasty trip
to hell! there you go deathstroke, what a lovely way to spend your weekend! but anyway,
thanks a lot for watching guys, that's the end of all of my matches, so if you enjoyed
watching this, please leave a comment, like and subscribe and i will be back with some
more injustice gameplay next week so until then, stick around guys and peace out!
