There are two varieties of characters in regards to interacting with the environment: Power and Gadget. How these are interacted with depends on the character you are playing as. If you think your opponent is about to throw you then you can also press the throw button to escape their grab.Įvery stage in Injustice 2 contains an object or part of the environment that you can interact with by pressing the Interact button near it. You can also press the Light Attack button and the Heavy Attack button to throw. While you are able to throw your foes with the press of the Throw button you are also able to use a more universal input that is in most fighting games. Dashing is a good tool to close the gap between you and your opponent or to get away from a bad time and gain your composure for your next attack. Input forward two times or back two times in order to move quickly in that direction. In past games by NetherRealm Studios there has been a dedicated block button, but Injustice 2 does away with this idea. To block you must hold Back, away from your opponent, like in most fighting games. Some of the controls require a bit of elaboration. Refer to the table below to figure out which buttons are which. In this guide all of the controls are referred to by their official names rather than the button you would press for either your PlayStation 4 or your Xbox 1 controller. The buttons used to play the game are called the controls. Some characters do not even have a meter but merely icon to represent what the Character Power is currently doing for that fighter. Because every Character Power is different every character's Character Power meter is unique to them. Next to the Super Meter is another meter for that fighter's Character Power, a unique buff or move that belongs to each character. Lastly, the Super Meter can be used to determine the winner of a Clash. You can also use divided sections of the meter to enhance your special moves by using the Meter Burn button (which burns away one bar of your meter). This is your resource that you need to fill up all the way execute a Super Move. In the bottom corners are a bar divided into four sections. The timer only stops for three things: the end of a round (when a player has lost all of their silver health bar), for a Supermove, and for a Clash. The winner in this case is decided by whoever has more health when time runs out. If you lose all of your red health then you lose the game. This is the second and final bar of health your fighter has. In this game the health for the winner of a round (whose silver health bar did NOT go empty) does not reset so they will begin the next round with however much health they had when their opponent lost all of their silver health.Īfter you lose all of your silver health you are left with a red health bar. When you lose all of your silver health, a round of combat ends and both fighters pause for a moment.

When your fighter takes damage their health will decrease which takes away from of their silver bar revealing a red bar underneath. At the top of the screen are silver bars with each fighter's name above.
