Injustice 2 Mobile Game May Have Leaked Green Lantern, Cyborg, and Scarecrow

Three new fighters for Injustice 2 may have inadvertently surfaced.

According to Maximilian in his newest video, some (unspecified) regions have gained early access to the Injustice 2 mobile game, and the playable character selection in that version reveal that we can expect Green Lantern, Cyborg, and Scarecrow to be revealed soon for the main console version.

Maximilian points out that the original mobile Injustice roster provided the same early glimpse as to who was coming to console, so this may indeed be a reliable gauge of upcoming reveals. In his video he discusses at length the limited footage of the new fighters, and possible variations on their visual models we might see in-game to come. As this is an unverified leak, however, we’ll have to wait for official confirmation from NetherRealm Studios as to whether or not these fighters will indeed be battling in the console version–due May 16, 2017.

More Hilarious Bugs and Glitches: Come Get Your Fill with This Compilation from Various Games

As you may remember a couple months back, we featured one Twitter user who spends his time exploring and showing off peculiar oddities and glitches in classic fighting games. Today we’ll be revisiting him–along with one or two others–in looking at a whole new slew of bugs and hilarious happenings in old and new fighting games alike.

First up we have some Capcom fighters. The first features the Dramatic Battle from the Street Fighter Zero series bringing to light a pretty spectacular glitch using two Dans.

We also have some Street Fighter III quirks. The first is less of a glitch and more a hilarious consequence of how the game works, but they’re all worth watching.

We also have some Marvel vs. Capcom titles, which always seem to be home to some of the craziest bugs around.

Here we see some Guilty Gear glitches that I can’t even begin to wrap my head around.

Of course we also have a healthy helping of SNK games and their glitches.

While not a glitch specifically, this interaction is baffling, and may or may not have led to a very rightfully salty player.

Mortal Kombat is not one to be left out of the glitch department, as the many iterations and ports of its games are ripe for exploration.

Killer Instinct fans today may not know what the game used to look like back in the ’90s. We’re fairly certain the game didn’t look like this.

Last but not least, we see an interesting entry form the Dragon Ball Z line of fighting games, which don’t often see as much attention as other FGC games. This glitch stands with the best of them, despite this.

Echo Fox’s Momochi and ChocoBlanka Try Out the For Honor Beta

For Honor just came out yesterday! Leading up to its release, the open beta has received a surprising amount of attention from the FGC. Even some major gaming sites are associating this with the fighting genre, and heaping positive praise on the game in the process. Featuring warrior classes in place of characters, there’s a wide range of attacks, parries, dodges, and more, making combat surprisingly deep.

Street Fighter Legends Momochi and ChocoBlanka have recently been spending a lot of time in the beta, ensnared by Ubisoft’s foray into sword combat. Now that the game’s out, do you think For Honor’s combat is deep enough to succeed with the FGC crowd? Does it’s 1v1 mode warrant the interest it’s been receiving?
