NetherRealm Studios officially released a brand new gameplay video detailing the combat abilities of the heroine Supergirl in the upcoming fighting game Injustice 2.
As seen in the video below provided by IGN, Supergirl’s definitely no slouch when it comes to holding her own in combat. In fact, the former Kryptonian uses a wide range of skills when it comes to fighting her opponents in Injustice 2, which could lead to her becoming one of fans’ main character choices once the game launches sometime next year. As expected, the powers of Supergirl are comparable to her cousin Superman’s, but rather than being a brute-force brawler like Kal-El, she relies more on agility and various other combo moves to keep opponents on their toes.
For example, her combo known as The Last Daughter of Krypton will allow players to get into the groove for a long chain of hits, but if raw power is what players plan to use, Supergirl can also just kick her enemies in the gut and throw them on their heads with a power bomb that can be used on its own or carried over into a greater combo.
Naturally, with agility and speed being two of Supergirl’s major assets, she can throw a series of punches with combinations like Crossroads of Time. However, where she really stands up is in long range combat because of her plethora of projectiles like heat vision, freezing breath, and Kryptonian force tornadoes that give her the opportunity to achieve higher hit combos and damage multipliers.
Of course, the most devastating ability of Supergirl will be her super move, which has been dubbed Asteroid Shower. As the name implies, Supergirl grabs her opponent, takes them up into outer space next to the sun, and blasts them back to Earth with her laser cutting vision through an asteroid belt, which causes the cosmic rocks to reign down onto the enemy from above.
Injustice 2 is scheduled to release sometime in 2017, but there’s been no confirmation as to which platforms will support the game.
