Ed Boon Teases the Red Hood for Injustice 2, Asks “Joker or Jason Todd?”

NetherRealm’s Ed Boon isn’t shy about using Twitter polls as a way to hint about possible characters for Injustice 2. His latest one, however, seems to be the most direct confirmation of a character yet.

In his latest Twitter poll, Ed Boon only mentions one specific character: the Red Hood. The poll itself only asks whether or not fans would prefer him to be the Joker or Jason Todd.

For those not familiar with the the Red Hood mantle, this was originally the moniker usedby the man who would later become the Joker–before his fateful dive into a vat of chemicals that finally transformed him into Gotham’s Clown Prince of Crime. The first Injustice game referenced this by giving the Joker a Red Hood alternate outfit.

In addition to this, the Red Hood moniker was used by resurrected a former Robin: Jason Todd, who became an anti-hero of sorts, stopping crime in his own violent crusade to get back at those who wronged him in the past.

Take note that this isn’t outright confirmation that the Red Hood will be in Injustice 2. That said, these Twitter polls are a good indication of who Ed Boon and NetherRealm are considering for Injustice 2.

Get Technical with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U’s Newest Discovery: Step Dashing

My Smash Corner has consistently been one of the leading lights of the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U community when it comes to hunting out and bringing to light some of the most obscure and difficult-to-execute advanced technology.

Not content with just showing off the potential of Bidou and exactly how Kamemushi executes his signature combo, My Smash Corner has now dropped a fascinating new tech–which he’s calling the Step Dash.

Reminiscent of nothing so much as a wavedash, step dashing is a sliding motion that leaves you free to act in a variety of ways, which leads to all sorts of punish and movement opportunities. He does a much better job of explaining it than I do, though–so check out video below for more information.
