Green Arrow's different projectile information, alternate costume - Injustice: Gods Among Us

Posted by SFilp

Maxwell McGee over on GameSpot was able to spend some time with NetherRealm Studios' Hector Sanchez to discuss about some of the game's finer details.

In particular, he was able to get information about Green Arrow's different projectile arrows. Including how many of each arrow he has to start.

Standard Arrow: These arrows are easy to use but deal low damage. As with the other arrow types, you can charge these projectiles by holding the trait button and still move around while doing so.
Starting count: unlimited

Stun Arrow: These arrows temporarily disable opponents, letting you link together combos that would otherwise be impossible. Sanchez recommends them for pro players who can make the most of Green Arrow's other techniques.
Starting count: 2

Ice Arrow: These arrows are basically a supercharged version of the stun arrows. The freezing effect holds opponents in place longer, though a low capacity makes them more costly to waste.
Starting count: 1

Fire Arrow: These arrows deal extra damage on contact over time. Sanchez recommends the fire arrows when you're first learning this character, because they deal good damage even when blocked and can be fired with minimum effort.
Starting count: 3

Additionally, an image of Green Arrow's alternate costume has been found. This is taken from the current live-action TV show "Arrow."

Green Hawkeye is GREEN .. like the Hulk who is totally better than Doomsday who isn't Tombstone ... DC Fans are sensitive and that is funny to me ;)

Does it really matter if they're the same character? I play Hawkeye in Marvel and I was very happy when Green Arrow was announced BECAUSE of that.

Yes you have the option of either classic MK style or traditional SF style control inputs

I don't know what's more frustrating: the trolling, or the Injustice fans taking the bait every single time.

The fact that apparently his good arrows have limited ammo kind of ruins the possibility of him being a brainless character. He actually gonna require some thought to get the best possible results for his limited ammo. From the limited gameplay of him shown so far, his Standard Arrows are nothing to be scared of its a mediocre zone tool by itself

I think there's a misunderstanding about the SF/MK control options. Choosing Street Fighter inputs will not change all the Forward, forward commands to quarter-circle commands. What it does is change how the game READS you're inputs. If you choose MK, a simple "down" and then "forward" will equate a quarter-circle; if you choose SF, then you will need to include the diagonal-down forward to complete the quarter-circle input (which is not necessary in MK).

In MK, a diagonal input is interpreted as both Forward AND Down which created a lot of problems for us MK players. For example, if I tap diagonal-down forward direction twice with my stick, that will count as a quarter-circle input. Basically, you get a lot of unwanted input leniency.

I hope there's other live action costumes. I wants that Christopher Reeve Superman and Adam West Batman. Probably won't happen but a guy can hope, right?

Lol "Descended" you say? It literally started off on a remedial note...I guess this is partly due to this being a mostly Capcom fighter site and you have these fankids or whatever, and then NR has been skimpy with any kind of reveals/details for quite awhile now.

@ DangerousBacon

If I interpreted the interview correctly, then yes, it is confirmed. However, it's always possible I misunderstood something, but here's the source:

Well I believe when they were in the topic about the alternative skins, they mentioned from different comic book series to Television shows such as Adam West Batman. This is by no means a confirm, but the possibility is still their. Live Action Tv show Green Arrow skin being in makes things look promising

I don't think his arrow are limited. When he runs out it seems that he can reload it. Check this gameplay video, he fires multiple ice arrows http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-TeSQ...

You get that costume by participating in the Injustice: Battle Arena thing going on. Voting this week should get you a code for the costume.

Hey Astro, Nightwing's alt was revealed in the story trailer, and he has long hair. You can see it somewhere between 1:35 and 1:40.

Just to make things clear Green Arrow is nothing like Hawkeye.Green did come first than Hawkeye and there's no such thing as "Oh Green Arrow seems like Hawkeye" cause you're wrong he's not going to be the same and if you play the game thinking like that you're gonna be mistaken.

@ 29 This is just a guess, but I would bet his character trait is more arrows with theres some type of time limit or damage count that is required for you to reload. Similar to Batman's batarangs being dormant for a certain time after 1 use.

GA will likely have unlimited arrows in the sense that he can reload every 30 seconds or something like that. So don't go shooting them all off in the first 6 seconds trying to zone and then have none left for a quarter of the fight.

All you noobs to comics that think your fans because you happened to watch a couple movies should know that GREEN ARROW first appeared in 1942 and HAWKEYE first appeared in 1965. Hawkeye is the rip off not GA get it right hop off the avengers bandwagon.
