Injustice: Gods Among Us Scorpion Combos

I bought the season pass after I found out that Scorpion was available early (for real this time) for season pass owners.  After fiddling around with the misplaced Mortal Kombat fighter, I decided to make another combo video to show off a bit of what the yellow ninja can do. I find that Scorpion is pretty easy to use. A bit too easy if you ask me. He's got pretty good normals with a decent amount of mix-up combo strings and can special cancel into spear or teleport punch out of almost all of them. Meter burning the spear would cancel the punch that follows to enable for combo extension and meter burning the teleport punch would put foes into a juggle state. Add to all that an air throw, unblockable fire pillar and a teleport cross up super and you've got what could potentially be the best online character in the game so far.

[Updated - MP trailer]The Last of Us multiplayer details and gameplay footage

With nearly a week until The Last of Us finally hits stores, Naughty Dog is finally releasing information about the multiplayer aspect of their new IP.

One preview by TheSixthAxis gives in detail about how multiplayer works. Multiplayer for The Last of Us will be called 'Factions'

In Factions, there will be two clans to choose from. Now, Clan's are important because it's all about trying to keep your clan stocked up in supplies and making sure they survive for 12 weeks. For each match in multiplayer, that represents a day in the game, and as you progress, your survival count grows.

Quick facts about Factions

• Choose one of two clans
• Each match represents a day, try to survive 12 weeks
• There are two game types
• There are seven maps
• Plenty of customization options and load-out tweaks to keep things interesting

UPDATED - Now the previews have now gone live, but how does the gameplay look? Well, have a look at the trailer then.

At this point, the Multiplayer doesn't look appealing at all. I still don't have a full grasp on what makes Factions different, aside from the lack of bullets you will have to spray on your enemies. With this game, everybody is really going to focus on the Single Player campaign. How successful the MP will be for Naughty Dog will really depend on how much we will like the gameplay found on the Single Player experience.

Multiplayer I think isn't necessary for a game like this, but I've said that to Mass Effect 3 and Uncharted 2, and both proved me wrong. So I'll keep an open mind until I get to play it myself.

Injustice: Gods Among Us Official Scorpion DLC Trailer

So Scorpion has been officially revealed as the next DLC character for Injustice: Gods Among Us. Scorpion's move set similarities to Batman are more apparent now. He seems to have a starting low kick that leads to a high. The low slide is also present. The spear that pulls opponents towards you as opposed to Batman's grapple that pull HIM towards the opponent. Meter burning the spear stops them and puts them in a stun state while putting Scorpion into a neutral state to enable for combo extension. Scorpion's teleport has also made a comeback, no telling yet how cheap this might be in the actual game. He seems to have a move that lights himself on fire. I'm guessing it has similar properties to that of Grundy's fart gas. And finally the hellfire that he summons below his opponents. My guess is that move will still be unblockable.

The grab animation and his clash animation are hilarious and kinda awesome. His super is a little elaborate while still being a tad underwhelming though the initial hit does look really good. The intro and win poses are fantastic though I find the win pose a little bit on the long side. Looks like we'll be getting another free costume once Scorpion rolls out, this time it's Superman running his Black Lantern look.

Oh, and that Martian Manhunter teaser at the end.
