What do you think of Deadshot? Does he look like a character you want to play?

[@MT-gn7jy]

YES! Hes Very op

[@jaydenf8919]

GameSpot he is going to be annoying as hell to fight

[@deadshottheworldsgreatesta8723]

GameSpot I'm very strong

[@diobrando5896]

Helix Fury pre nerf death stroke

[@deadshottheworldsgreatesta8723]

Mark Man Jesus Christ calm the fuck down, I'm playing both games. How is this game gonna be bad? Then there are alot of black characters in INJ2. In now way is this game racist. This is coming from someone who is black

[@jack6353]

the fact that he can miss his shots is a real injustice

[@AsterSea]

Jack Stalker Bravo.

[@polokente2483]

Jack Stalker 😂

[@rayanrahman02]

Jack Stalker lol 😂

[@joshuacarlos172]

Jack Stalker he never misses, the gun does

[@TGIFF212]

So many scrubs in the comments. Just like the Deathstroke whiners in the first Injustice and no I didn't pick him. Do you guys who keep saying "spam" honestly take the time to walk forward and block? Anyone who is shooting you at the right moments by predicting your exact movements isn't "spamming", that person is "thinking".

[@oasistuperware4596]

There's plenty of characters in the game that could be spammy, I don't know why people are complaining, lol. I mean, Green Arrow and Super Girl (just spam circle and they'll shoot a load of projectiles) and Scarecrow and Batman (you could just keep hooking your opponent closer to you for combos.)

[@itoitonomi1849]

TGIFF212 look at him now

[@ethanjennings7235]

No we didn't create another Deathstroke, we took the most annoying part of Deathstroke and made it his entire kit

[@bossmun5playz225]

The forward sword attack was the most spammy

[@tweekthesufantic3291]

I can see people crying now about him,I love fighting this type character so satisfying getting in and destroying them.

[@TheGoku6000]

Tweek the su Fantic Agreeed

[@justhit6673]

Tweek the su Fantic but you have to get in o.O

[@lachlananderson8084]

Never thought I'd see rocket jumping in a fighting game...

[@JMoFasa]

am I the only one that feels like they be throwing shade to each other in every video and they really mean it too?

[@kilo7208]

he basically Deathstroke with out the sword attack

[@feckernever8flakes]

Kalil Stoudmire They gave the sword to Robin

[@waisu3409]

Lol so true... They separated Deathstroke into two characters... Deadshot with his gun and Robin with his sword

[@MariOnTheRedTube]

He seems cool and I'm gonna ACTUALLY learn him but I fear I will never be able to use him online because everyone will quit because they will think I'm a spammer.

[@Rasf12]

kamaricartwright That was my problem maining deathstroke in the first injustice

[@LiangHuBBB]

Im so ready for some keep away style :)

[@powerhouse884]

LiangHuBBB Be prepared for people to AVOID you when playing Online. I call that kind of play, Dirty cheap gameplay and dont like to fight with cheap noobs.

[@greedfgc1830]

PowerhousePR it's not cheap, a zoner can be difficult to play as.. as soon as you get in they are pretty fucked, it's only people who aren't good at fighting games that can't adapt. I don't play zoning characters by any means, I prefer rush down cancel characters but you could argue having that kind of pressure and 50/50s is just as cheap. pressure characters just requires more execution to play but zoners require more reads to be affective

[@powerhouse884]

Actually that ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE!! People who know how to play the game still have hard time dealing with this. I am sorry but me trying to catch up to you while you run to the back to keep shooting till the time runs out IS NOT A PROPER WAY to play a fighting game. Fool me once!!! but TRUST me, i personally will not accept any fights from anyone who plays like that....Thats your punishment for not fighting properly and just trolling everyone spamming and running till the time runs out. Its either that or people will just end the match.

[@trollgod2812]

PowerhousePR you must fucking suck crying because of zoning characters

[@UltimateXsusanno200]

Im looking forward for deadshot! Always love to play zoning character and defense as my secondary main. My mains will always be a rushdown character will be 50/50 and pressure with one projectile. Like i mained Ares in the old times.

[@cheesebossfinch8071]

This character seems like a great concept! I remember how in the first game, everyone was like: 'Deathstroke is hella annoying, his sword is so OP' so they answered! Deadshot is exactly the same, just they replaced his sword with EVEN MORE long ranged poke moves! Great job guys!

[@gothamcitygoon2491]

Cheeseboss Finch But deathstroke wasn't op tho. And I'll bet deadshot won't be either

[@crazy_pancakes7784]

Cheeseboss Finch I just use him for close combat

[@davidmadureira45]

Deadshot=replacement deathstroke

[@mr.peanut2877]

DeathStroke vs Deadshot would have been amazing

[@tjdoescosplay]

4:50 love dead shot throw Also love the low start mix up all time favorite 1:53

[@terrywilliams8578]

Am I the only one that sees decent combo potential with this guy? I say decent only when he has the incendiary rounds active which deal a significant amount of damage. Pair that with his awesome zoning, I think he can be a well rounded fighter.

[@AstralMuffin105]

Oh yeah, he totally has stuff you can do. With most of his up-close attacks being knock-backs, if you're quick enough on the draw, you can get some nasty combos off by knocking them into his long distance range.

[@JcgLounge]

He looks like a character someone would spam but I still want to try him.

[@marcosalcantar2679]

Wow im liking him but holy hell THE CHEESE IS REAL

[@AllThings_Gaming-c1m]

There better be invincible rolling or abilities that cover distance to stop those zoning attacks. Can see newbies use Deadshot just for zoning

[@Trimble_Perry]

Star Wars :Rouge One there is, just use two bar of meter to invincible roll to the other side of the screen

[@AllThings_Gaming-c1m]

Mr.bones45 True but that's two bars. Good to hear that there will those rolls

[@LUIGIBREESH]

Star Wars :Rouge One bane can run trew them

[@Pluralmite]

Star Wars :Rouge One it's 1 bar not 2

[@SpaceUndies]

Star Wars :Rouge One that's why I play bane. 3 stacks of venom = projectile immunity

[@Jbat43]

Deadshot looks awesome.

[@HoracioCuevas]

i can already see all the kids spaming his shots

[@HoracioCuevas]

4:07 well there goes deadshot's "Never missed a shot" streak

[@tweekthesufantic3291]

You can low profile the high bullets,jump over the low bullets or ex roll with armor to get in.I got all that from just seeing this vid best to strategies against now because you will see him online and in tournament a lot.

[@atljonesbro]

It's crazy they allow bad players to comment on this video. Here's how you get in on dead shot: Block, dash, block dash, block dash. Simple. He used meter to push you back? Ok... block dash. Now he's probably in the corner with limited options up close and ways to get people off him.

[@AstralMuffin105]

As a Deadshot player, I can confirm that's exactly how that works. Anyone that knows what they're doing can get Deadshot into a situation he doesn't have the tools to easily get out off.

[@Ashmodath]

But by that time you have half health left

[@angelhendricks2950]

spammy character or not, he's part of the game. Don't cry if you can't find a way to get inside and unleash a high damage combo

[@mixxur]

Looking at all of these comments bitching about Deadshot (and zoners in general)... I might be fairly new to fighting games such as this, but even I know that a block-dash can easily close the gap of a spammer.

[@SidneyJupiter]

I use throws all the time now, I only sometimes used about two weeks ago

[@Jumpshotrely]

How do I use the rifle on deadshots back for the PS4 what are the combos?

[@czitos666]

Just duck high gun, jump over low shot and block the machine gun . Its easy to see cuz he takes step back before machine gun or crouches and takes rifle before low shot. He doesnt have sword flip like deathstroke had so easier to get in on him . And low shot is single shot not like deatstroke low guns were :P Only noobs will complain about him and firestorm and other zonerts . Ohhh I cant wait for online salt same as I get with quan chi in MKX :D

[@SayasOTG]

czitos666 thanks for explaining this to these complaining scrubs :)

[@Ryuga-2015]

czitos666 pros are even complaining about him. His shots are waaaaaaaaay too fast. In all honesty this character is going to kill multiplayer. By kill I mean make many people not play

[@AdamHartGaming]

I think he's the only character that can hurt himself

[@gman3093]

The ability to drain an opponents meter at range seems pretty overpowered. I have a feeling like Deadshot will either get a nerf or be banned in competitive.

[@AstralMuffin105]

It really doesn't drain all that much unless you do the meter burn version of his moves, which basically makes it a fair trade if it hits. If it gets blocked or misses, Deadshot blew his meter for nothing and is put at a disadvantage, and if it does hit, well basically he and his opponent are on even ground.

[@namenoblank7524]

I'm watching this so I can get back at the people who spam with aquaman

[@braydontahu5483]

Why is everyone bitching about him. If noobs really are the only ones who play him, it should be easy to beat him.

[@jiadlawrence9311]

yes and no because I like people that can fight up close and i like projectiles

[@Joker-ox3wo]

Add him to the wall of keep away characters along with Deathstroke and Jacqui Briggs

[@xanderhebert6257]

I think the deciding factor for if I play him or not is the tacticool rework

[@seb6226]

the first gear looks like boba fett!

[@Netsaver]

they wouldn't have 7 zoners in this game if they were totally invincible in their zoning.

[@23gameoverlord]

i would like to see either Black Manta or Ocean Master be part of this game.

[@jimfox6943]

23gameoverlord black manta is in a stage transition, so his kinda in the game.

[@Spicyjgaming]

so pretty much this is deathstroke without the sword...

[@justhit6673]

Joshua Anderson deadshot has been in the comics this whole time.....

[@Spicyjgaming]

yeah i know who deadshot is i mean gameplay wise this is deathstroke without the sword

[@oasistuperware4596]

There totally different characters (gameplay), I don't see how you could compare the two.

[@justhit6673]

RAIDING 808 because all deathstroke did was zone from full screen

[@Dmike]

Dude that air rifle dmg

[@leKageBunshin]

You mean Erron Black Moveset and Breakdown

[@aera64]

there better be a skin for Deathstroke

[@goeazy1673]

does anybody know or think deathstroke will be deadshots premiere skin??

[@mymomsaidtofkyou4045]

lol my favorite rounds are the poison rounds dope meter takeaway

[@wavyflac]

Here's a bright idea. Walk forward, duck, repeat.

[@OtakuUnderground92]

Is he Slade's replacement? Or is Slade still in?

[@taitiger8322]

TheNegroShoddy there is no Slade replacement different games different characters

[@illecebram5321]

To be honest. I try to be really positive about stuff like this because someone's gonna have fun and some people like playing keep away because they're probably not good at an average rushdown character. Just probably not the guys fighting him, even if you win it's slightly frustrating that you just had to endure things like that, there are people who purposely like ruining games for others and Deadshot is the character they'll do that with. Hopefully I'm wrong and it's not basically a cheese fest.

[@crozraven]

Well, I found my super cheese main then

[@braandooonnn]

I really want to play Deadshot, but I want more combo potential ;-;

[@jovernater6978]

braandooon we need a deadshot game or death stroke would be good

[@steak4131]

braandooon I know man he has like no launchers

[@paulthorn6437]

The damage on his spammy barrages seems broken.

[@rainofkhandaq6678]

He has full high stat gear to superman's none.

[@chase7629]

Paul Thorn also games not done yet could change and your not gonna waste that much Meter in game

[@marctheheretic2632]

He looks pretty good but why does so much of it have to be based around the movie version?

[@asianafghan131]

How do you do the Cartwheel-ish move?

[@SlashMountain]

How do u use his sniper

[@bobbyfross5976]

Jeremiah Rodriguez Down back X or A

[@Wise1Der]

SO basically he's Jacqui Briggs with deadshot cosplay

[@FancyxToast]

no, just dead shot

[@crazy_pancakes7784]

Tbh even if I play a character that’s suppose to be a zoner then I just do close combat anyway XD

[@garethmagis]

This will be the character that makes online so annoying to play on that you quit the game after a week.

[@SidneyJupiter]

What mode do you do you breakdowns on

[@trevorv7868]

people aren't going to like him because he is a range character. noobs are going to jump on him like deathstroke from the first game

[@devilbawa9721]

Warning Noobs incoming!

[@biobiobio7777]

That is gonna get annoying online.

[@DesslBane]

my pick

[@ShatteredGlass916]

i don't mind about his style in this game (i mean, that is how he is right ? mercenaries that specialize in firearms), i just hope they would nerve the damage. That rifle damage is an absolute bullshit, and i can see how it'll be spammed during online pvp matches

[@micahflanders6789]

Guess who's gonna get nerfed...

[@brubba-m7j]

If deadshots bullets couldn't go far it wouldn't be true to the charectar

[@AstralMuffin105]

What do you mean? Deadshot is a sniper by trade, so long range is his specialty. If the bullets didn't go full, or at least half screen, it wouldn't make sense.

[@dahakaguardianofthetimelin4780]

Superman kind of looks underwhelming in this game. I think it's the fact that he is floating meanwhile he's the same size as every other character which makes him look kind of small and completely irrelevant or the fact that he looks like Michael from GTA V in a Superman costume rather than actual Superman.

[@balthier-leadingman3782]

He can be annoying to fight but he definitely is NOT op!

[@ЖулдызАкимова-й4о]

let shazam 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@zoraxpower7598]

Trollout incoming

[@Meepy27]

Yay my new sort of main 😁 I suck

[@KirbyOnCronic]

Way too many zone characters.

[@heartshapedboxlrram1408]

¿quien ganaría entre Deathstroke y Deathshot​?

[@koba9421]

HeartShapedBox LR ram Deathstroke lol

[@ONIGIRIKINGU]

yes deathstroke was not fun in the 1st game but now he looks super amazing and will main him. totally my play type of zoning, hopefully the morons and scrubs are ready to be zoned out.

[@AstralMuffin105]

Deathstroke isn't in this game. Deadshot is a completely different character. But yes, I agree with everything else you said.

[@wolfsajin]

He has more health then superman.... why?

[@rainofkhandaq6678]

WolfSajin He has full high stat gear to superman's none.

[@Mektek19]

You when the hell is this game coming out smh wow lol. They have been previewing this for years smh. It better get a 9 or 10.

[@torreswright9325]

Mektek19 they announced it last june :/ when it releases may 16th it wouldve been less than a year.

[@henrywiley22]

I want to play as deadshot but he's so spammy

[@vergilkilla1]

He will be total cancer. But man it will be fun to get in on these players and smash them with combos.

[@oasistuperware4596]

People still use the word "cancer" as insults? Fuck me. Get your shit together.

[@chrisperez8995]

2:37

[@CosmicNerdStudios]

NOOOOOOOOOOO! why!

[@3tranducquang]

He is a spammer for shot

[@boskoor]

isn't superman bullet proof ???? 🤔

[@Afroninja1]

So he's Eron Black

[@powerhouse884]

So THIS IS the spamming character that people who suck at fighting use to get some Wins!!! They should control the projectile distance to avoid spamming the entire fight with unavoidable shootings.

[@germaine668]

dude the spam is real with this guy. The noobs will blow their loads when they see this guy

[@basselyasser7673]

PowerhousePR Just learn a character that teleports and counter pick.

[@powerhouse884]

I am sorry but NO! I dont NEED to stick to a specific character to deal with this issue. The game should be properly balance. The only way to avoid this on fighting games is to set a Maximum distance form the projectile of that one character. I seriously dont understand how the developers cant see the problem with characters that rely on spamming projectiles.

[@basselyasser7673]

PowerhousePR Deadshot is very weak up close, and you can close full screen distance in almost one roll. I don't see how this is an issue unless you're incapable of playing smart. I honestly never had any issues fighting any of the zoning based characters from the original injustice.

[@powerhouse884]

His shots not only are very fast but they ALSO push you away which makes it even more impossible to stay close. The problem with this characters is that the TIME!!! runs out. You end up losing cuz you are either jumping to avoid attacks and the time runs out or you are trying to get close to him and the time runs out. Its just EXHAUSTING!!! By limiting the distance they MAKE HIM stay close to you to get a shot and gives you a moment when he is getting closer to connect him

[@jjl1467]

.

[@NT-sm5jk]

looks really boring to play him

[@jeant.2851]

Deadshot should get a nerf where his bullets do 3 times less damage to meta humans. He will be strong against mortal, human characters like Batman, Black Canary and Green arrow.

[@AstralMuffin105]

Normal humans only make up not even 1/4th of the whole roster though, so that much of a nerf would be ridiculous in the grand scheme of things. Especially for people that me that play Deadshot and want to stand a chance. It's hard enough keeping distance against someone that knows what they're doing.

[@grimmjowjaegerjaquez6322]

upgrades Aron black

[@real24bmore]

The zone loadout looks cheap and annoying MK is famous for annoying unforgiving zones

[@Pluralmite]

Finger Licking Good unforgiving zoners, hell no that is so easy to get past in MK it looks annoying because idiots such as yourself who block high projectiles which will completely go over your head if you duck w/o pressing the block button.

[@Pluralmite]

Finger Licking Good I'm not sure exactly what jet pack move you are talking about.I'll gladly do play you in MK if you think I don't know what it's about my psn is the same as my KZbin.

[@latias2]

less talking, more showing plz

[@coolbobness12121]

What the fuck is Jacqui Briggs doing in Deadshot's suit... seriously so many of these moves are carbon copies from MKX. NetherRealm tryna be like Bungie with how they copy and paste guns with a different color through DLC releases.

[@SayasOTG]

David Lerman deadshot had wrist guns way before she was even ever thought of? please check your facts before saying dumb shit

[@coolbobness12121]

Oh I'm well aware of that. It's just that the animation for the shots are kinda the same. Chill.

[@DizzyDaGodTelevision]

Eron black

[@memescomics2291]

Why you dont do trolls ?? that's will be funny

[@hunter_g4eaggad3]

MAINED!

[@mjHushpuppy]

This guy is going to be aids

[@ZeriocTheTank]

So this is the zoner's character? More like the noob character. If I'm going to play a zoner I'll stick to Dr. Fate.

[@vergilkilla1]

True, Dr. Fate is the not-noob version of Deadshot. It will be really satisfying to get in on these guys and wreck them.

[@unknown-io2xt]

looks really funny but fucking copy paste frome erron black

[@KillDozer44]

spamming inc worse than jaqui

[@Raf154]

lol nerds

[@metroboomin8264]

I hope they make a dlc with characters from the Suicide squad like the enchrantess . Like if u agree
