I just picked up Injustice 2 the other day and I’ve been enjoying it immensely. In the interest of helping to grow the scene, I thought I’d take a character and make a quick video tutorial emphasizing pick-up-and-play tools, so that people could quickly understand and begin learning the game without having to spend too long learning the character.

Firestorm seems quite simple, and has good capacity to zone and to rush down, so I thought he might be popular with many Capcom players looking to give the game a try. In this video I cover all his strings, the common uses of each special move, and some of his individual normals–plus all his optimal common combos, as well as a brief overview of his keepaway game from afar, and his mixup game up close.

I think one of the bigger weaknesses of Injustice–and other NRS games–is that there weren’t many hubs where guides were collected and distributed, particularly video guides. What guides there were would also sometimes become outdated, without updates from the creators. So, I thought I’d try my hand at creating a single location with video resources on mechanics plus simple guides for all characters, which I plan to update should they ever be affected by a rebalance. Additionally, there seems to be a lot of misinformation in the community about the mechanics of Injustice 2; I’d like to make a video before too long where I attempt to dispel some of the information and drum up interest in the game.

I’ve been caught up enjoying exploring Injustice 2 lately. I’d like to continue making these, possibly until I’ve done one for every character. So if you’d like to see more, remember to to subscribe to the channel!
