#Build The Roster

[thedman0310]

Brain is full of Transformers and Thorgi’s Arcade videos… might fuck around and make a Transformers fighting game roster

[bulletblade]

Welcome back to part 11/12 of our Marvel Injustice Roster.

Guidelines:

There are 24 characters in the base game, 12 Heroes and 12 Villains. This doesn't include clone characters.

Cosmic and Multiversal Characters like the Guardians of the Galaxy or Spider-Man 2099 won't be added to keep the game grounded.

Anti-Heroes like Deadpool and Punisher also won't be added.

However, if some characters fit into the previous category, I'll consider them if they're a big enough deal in terms of history and importance to the storyline.

The storyline is based upon Marvel's AXIS Story, so with the exception of two characters, everyone will have a hero and villain persona.

Without further ado, here is our roster:

Reasons:

Green Goblin and Hobgoblin: I couldn't think of a good third villain clone to save my life, Carnage was up for consideration but was decided against because I didn't want too many symbiotes plus the amount of Spider-Man characters is disgusting low in major fighting games.

Dr. Bong: Funny bell man, go brnnng.

And for our final poll, that affects this hypothetical game:

[blu-razbry]

in the wake of the MVC collection i compiled a dream roster for a what-if in which they went with the Distinguished Competition, with 40 base fighters and 3 seasons of DLC making 52 in total (get it?) in... CAPCOM vs. DC: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD

as someone who got into both Marvel and fighting games with MVC3 but prefers DC i wanted to get it out of my head ngl. who'd you pick up should this be a reality?

Build The Roster - Injustice 3 (DLC)

And with that we arrive at the conclusion of this Build The Roster project. And we're going to wrap things up with one of the most exciting parts of any fighting game roster. The DLC.

Before we do anything with this we have to determine how many DLC characters there are going to be. Considering Netherrealm Studios has been implementing progressively larger numbers of DLC characters since they started doing such a thing we're going to have to speculate a little on just how many characters are going to get in for post-launch. We'll settle on 15 being the magic number this time, going by the rate of progression we've seen for DLC numbers.

Now that that is out of the way we're going to detour a bit to discuss exactly how the DLC is going to work. With 15 prospective fighters we're going to go with a pattern in regards to who gets in. That is going to be 5 packs of 3 characters with those characters consisting of 1 hero, 1 villain and 1 guest character for each pack.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way let's get on with the actual choices, which are made up of...

Superboy

He's had a prominent role in the extended media for the games and his tactile telekinesis could make for a fascinating moveset.

Metallo

Decided to put another Superman villain in the game and we need a follow up to that stage cameo.

He-Man

There was already an Injustice comic crossover with He-Man so why not put him in a game already. Not to mention the Masters of the Universe property has been on the rise lately.

Donna Troy

Wanted to put one of the Wonder Girls in the game and Donna would give us that.

Deathstroke

If the main five Titans are going to be in the game then we need to bring back the Titans enemy. Plus we need an assassin in the roster.

Reptile

It's basically tradition to have a Mortal Kombat guest character and after Scorpion and Sub-Zero he's the most iconic ninja from that franchise.

Tempest

I like his powers which could become a phenomenal moveset and it gives us another Titan and someone else from Atlantis.

Despero

Basically the same reason as Deathstroke, if the founding seven members of the Justice League are in the game then a Justice League villain would be all too fitting.

Judge Dredd

With Hellboy and Spawn already having been used as DLC before by Netherrealm Judge Dredd is one of the few well known comic book characters that could be seen in an Injustice game.

Doctor Light

Just a personal favorite of mine who has unique light powers that could be fun to see in a fighting game.

Larfleeze

We've had the Sinestro Corps and the Red Lanterns show up so why not complete the trifecta with the Orange Lantern holder Larfleeze?

Space Ghost

Another personal favorite of mine who has a variety of beam-based attacks that would be perfect for a fighting game.

Adam Strange

Just a character that I like and think could be a cool addition to the roster.

Sabbac

Decided to throw in a Shazam enemy. Mostly for being a left field pick that people wouldn't be expecting.

And finally we have...

The Power Rangers!

After the Ninja Turtles got in all the rules went out the window and as a Power Rangers fan I would love to see them join the world of Injustice.

And with that we have reached the end of this Build The Roster. Feel free to read and review and let me know if you agree with my choices or feel different ones should have been made.

[thedman0310]

I was just watching @thorgisarcade ‘s Build The Roster video for a horror movie fighting game, and holy hell this is amazing

The character picks, the gameplay ideas, THE FINAL BOSS?! Amazing. The only thing I can complain about is the total lack of zombies on the roster. You could totally make Bub or Tarman work!

[guzhufuren]

pondering about how The Untamed was the healthiest hyperfixation i've ever had, and it lasted the longest of one and half years. the dudes i usually fall for are evil and fucked up, while Lan Zhan was the rarer occurrence of the kindest man ever. also The Untamed was such a cool thing to affect my mind, because wangxian are all about kids and marriage, and made me have good realistic dreams that align with my own desires and values. on other hand all those evil insane men i imprint on should be kept a kilometre away from babies so that's another thing

[8jib]

like. this guy came back from missing two and a half seasons and he had 18 shot attempts in 19 minutes in his FIRST GAME.... and he was joking afterwards like haha guess nothing's changed.... and now he's in a team w barely anyone of his calibre (except kyrie) getting 2 shot attempts at the half. how did it get to thissssssssssssssss im genuinely going crazy.

Build The Roster - Injustice 3 (Base Roster Newcomers)

So it turns out that Tumblr has an image limit per post so I had to split things up to do this the way I wanted to.

Now we can get to newcomers, which will be made up of...

Hawkman

I would like to see how he plays in an Injustice game and I'm a fan of the character so I'd like to see him in regardless.

Static

First off we need a lightning user in the game. Second they've been trying to get him into the series since the first game. Thirdly, well they say third times a charm so why not put this Milestone hero in the third game.

Stargirl

We need some Justice Society inclusions in the next Injustice game and Stargirl is a poster child for the JSA. Her Cosmic Staff would also allow a lot of variety for gameplay if she got in.

Beast Boy

It would be amazing to see the iconic five Titans all playable in the same game and Beast Boy's shapeshifting could make for a wonderful moveset

Captain Atom

His energy powers could make for a fun moveset and I'm partial to the character so he gets in. Not to mention he's had a role in the extended material for Injustice.

Icicle

An odd pick to be certain but there are reasons. One, we need an ice powered character as it's practically tradition at this point. Two, if we out in a Justice Society character than we need someone who represents the Injustice Society. Three, they could draw from the depiction of Cameron Mahkent in Stargirl to create a compelling character.

Plastic Man

Few reasons for this one. His hyper elastic powers would translate into something unique for a fighting game. He has a big presence in extended media for Injustice and he was a big part of Grant Morrison's run on JLA, which is arguably my favorite Justice League run in the comics.

Mr. Terrific

Why settle for just one JSA member? I believe Mr. Terrific could play differently than anyone ever seen in Injustice and that stage cameo from the first game could finally pay off.

Isis

Since Shazam and Black Adam are going to be absent in this roster I decided to look at someone else in the Shazam family to join up. Most of the Shazam heroes are too similar in powerset to replace either of them but Isis boasts unique powers over nature which could be fun to see in an Injustice game.

Vibe

Vibe is just a personal favorite of mine that has unique powers that could be fun to see in a fighting game. And then there's his unique connection to the Multiverse which could lead to a lot of story potential with him as well.

Mirror Master

Time for some villains on this roster. The Flash is my favorite DC hero and he deserves to have one of his Rogues join the fight. I went with Mirror Master for the unique moveset he could have in the game if he joined.

Parasite

We definitely need a Superman enemy in the game and Parasite's unique absorption powers could turn him into an effective copy fighter like Shang Tsung is in Mortal Kombat.

Circe

There's been a Wonder Woman enemy in both prior Injustice games so why not keep the trend going with Circe who's mastery of magics could provide plenty of havoc for the heroes.

Metamorpho

Guy has unique powers which could translate into a unique moveset for a fighting game.

Red Tornado

Mortal Kombat has Fujin with his wind powers so why shouldn't DC get in on the action with their own wind controlling android. Plus his robotic nature could make for some engaging dialogue.

Katana

With her magic sword she could play like Kenshi does in Mortal Kombat.

Saint Walker

We've seen villainous Lantern Corps appear in the first two games so why don't we do something different and have the main member of the heroic Blue Lantern Corp appear. After all the world of Injustice is a bleak one that needs all the hope it can get.

And to finish things off we have...

Eclipso

I wanted a mystical "Big Bad" for the game and Eclipso would be a fitting, if unexpected pick for that role. His powers over darkness and ability to possess people would certainly have both gameplay and story potential.

With that we have worked out the base roster for a prospective Injustice 3. I know it's a bit hero heavy but in the world of Injustice the role of hero and villain aren't so clear cut.

To finish things out we'll determine the roster for DLC inclusions in Injustice 3 so please read that post for the full experience for this Build The Roster.

[helioptilie]

ik all streaming services are guilty but amazon prime really kills me. i only watched 3 shows and they were all cancelled

[wordsbyparker]

Been reaching out to some VAs about a couple of projects, and two people were so dang excited that I'd contacted them. And one of them has not worked with me before.

Not gonna lie, their responses warmed my heart. 😊 And it meant a lot to me. Guess I must be doing something right. 😉

World Building: Crux Demonbeast Sanctuary

The Crux Factory is located on a small planet within the eastern parent of the Southern Region of space. The smallest planet of a multiple gas giant solar system, Crux is covered in a dense yellow atmosphere and covered in methane oceans. The only habitable spots on Crux being a number of small climatized domes dotting the surface on the few patches of land. From space and without proper equipment, it would simply look like a completely uninhabitable world.

However, during the height of the war, it was an Nightmare Enterprises claimed planet that housed multiple factories, utilizing the nitrogen and ammonium compounds from the atmosphere and methane from the oceans to make various explosives, fuel, ammo and other weapons and ammunition for the war. It was also the site of two laboratories, which created the sasuke demonbeasts to use in order to staff the factory with free labour.

Crux was managed by manager and scientist Dr Ayelech Sanus, who was in the process of training her son Majang Sanus to be her successor.

Crux met its end after the escape of one of the sasuke workers, who managed to get off the planet and went to the GSA, offering information in return for the freedom of his people and the destruction of the factories. Determined to change the tide of the war by removing NME’s main access to ammunition and fuel (after all, your enemies can’t fly ships and can’t shoot at you nearly as much if they have a sudden shortage of fuel or bullets) the GSA agreed and launched a nuclear attack on Crux, deteriorating within the interiors of the domes and destroying the factories and structures within.

Reports say there was no NME survivors that did not catch wind evacuate beforehand. However what most didn’t know, and would never learn was that there was on survivor, Majang.

Majang spent a lot of time trapped within the fallout bunkers his mother had locked him into. The radiation from the attack changed him overtime, giving him his unusual appearance.

Eventually he did manage to get out, and emerged into a destroyed world. The mountain that they had been mining had collapsed in the blast, burying several of the buildings, including the one he was in. It took a lot of digging and rigging old drilling equipment but little by little he made his way to other buildings, including the communications center. After several attempts to restore some kind of power to the equipment he was able to turn on the logs and was greeted with the records stating he was dead and Crux had been destroyed.

He spent a couple days pondering what to do with himself, obviously going back to NME and declaring he was in fact not dead was an option. He explored more of the ruins and built more tunnels to other buildings, eventually reaching Alpha Containment. It dawned on him that Ayelech had never let him in here before, and that’s one thing about being dead on paper he would find time and time again, you can do whatever you want. And he went inside and explored the various containment chambers, and to his surprise he found another survivor. Only, the survivor wasn’t a person, but a massive, massive demonbeast.

A massive building sized chained creature, eyes blinded. Demonbeasts did not need to eat, they did not need sleep, they would not die without either. This creature, a creature known as a riftwrath, a powerful demonbeast of the wrath type demonbeast line, had been left to rot.

Majang started to speak with the monster, or rather it would speak by taking control of him to use his body to make words. Which, albeit very unsettling at first, was something Majang got used to. The two struck a very unlikely bond, the creature was named Rodger by Majang, and Rodger shared his stories of the cruelty and suffering he had endured at the hands of NME. Now Majang has been raised by NME his entire life, he was born into the company, his mother taught him everything he knew and that included the belief that NME was doing the right thing and that demonbeasts were simply just tools to be used.

But Rodger frankly shattered that view.

Majang, after a couple more weeks of thinking, finally got the idea of what he wanted to do with his newfound freedom. He wouldn’t be going back to NME, he’d rebuild this place. But instead of a factory, it was going to be a sanctuary. Rodger agreed to be his right hand monster in the operation, and with Majang’s permission used Majang’s body to see the world to open up rifts to other planets so Majang could leave.

Over the next several years Majang and Rodger fixed up Crux, Majang rebuilt as much as he could and got much of the equipment back online. He turned it into a true demonbeast sanctuary for him to care for monsters, treat them of injury sustained from war and lab testing, and humanly study them to better understand them. As the war raged on he dodged both NME and the star warriors, capturing demonbeasts to take back to the sanctuary to spare them from the war and experimentation or death at the hands of the rebel forces.

The location of the planet is still kept secret and Majang has lived there as the only non demonbeast for a long time now, his ability to interact with people having greatly diminished. He’d still be kind to others if he met them, and would even offer them to stay at Crux if they needed a place to run and hide, providing they wouldn’t hurt his monsters.

He’s content to continue doing this for the rest of his life, expanding and bettering his sanctuary, and furthering his understanding of the monsters who call it home.
