It’s now been four days since the release of NetherRealm Studios’ superhero slugfest, Injustice 2. Keep scrolling down to see more combos and tech cooked up by the community!

VesperArcade‘s Robin Combo Guide is a great starting point for new players looking to slice up the competition, showing off some of his most basic conversions from important tools, such as his F+3, an overhead with frame advantage on block.

TheLinuxVirus shows off this disgusting 50/50 mixup off a 1-meter combo with Black Canary.

Take the 50/50 you learned from above, and see how you can incorporate it with these combos from HurtboxTV!

SC2 Voldo pro Enkindu wants to raise awareness about a “Melty Blood”-esque damage increase/decrease mini-game during supers.

Even desk is getting in on the NRS action with this “FLASHy” combo video. I can now confidently say that you can use a stage interaction to hit confirm into tea-bagging in Injustice 2.

Now that you’re getting used to Injustice 2, perhaps the execution in this Brainiac combo from DeBun will keep your brain busy.

And lastly, this oddly soothing combo video from Virtually Offensive shows off damage output and cross-ups from the coolest bug guy in the game, Blue Beetle.

How are you enjoying the first week of Injustice 2 thus far?

Let’s say you already have Leo Whitefang’s basics down. You know his move list well, and have the bread-and-butter combos prepared to bash some opponents. But now, you’d like to take it to the next level, because, let’s be honest, getting your pressure countered all the time isn’t fun.

Sharizord is your coach for making your Leo much better in about five minutes. They show more useful attack strings that can reliably build up the RISC gauge of the opponent as well as how to add a little extra spice to hit confirms. For instance, by adding a dash buffer to the 236HS motion, you can net more damage on your combos. This video has REV 2 in mind, so you can also pick up how to anti-air better with the character.

This tutorial should also be helpful to those who are looking to battle Leo players, so it’s not a bad idea to watch even if you’re not looking to pick up the Second King. Furthermore, remember to look back at this countering Leo guide, translated from Japanese.

The literal King of Fighters, Antonov, received a number of great buffs in Version 2.00 that granted him new mix-ups and damage opportunities. With these new threats in mind, youtuber APE OF THE U N I V E R S E has put together a wake-up guide for all aspiring cigar-munching champions to study.

Most of the safe jumps and mix-ups presented here make use of Antonov’s Max Mode options. Because of the changes in his crouching HK overhead, once you’ve established your safe-jumps, you can now work a fairly oppressive mid/low/command grab mix-up on a downed opponent.

As Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 nears its official release, many players are busy learning the ropes and grasping changes. Alongside those, newcomers Baiken and Answer provide plenty of study material.

Our latest Answer tech compilation divulges a few Business Ninpo secrets, but some of us might not be quite ready for such advanced knowledge. To get a better grasp on what’s in Answer’s box of secrets, it’s better to take a look at a more simplified guide first. Knowing what’s available in the ninja’s toolset is also very valuable in fighting the match-up.

This informative video from AXETB provides a complete breakdown of Answer’s moves. With a useful visual input display, it shows exactly how his card and scroll setting works. There’s a lot of follow-up attacks to scroll clinging, so make sure you’re at least aware of what options he has.
