Both games feature spectacular ways to make the fights interesting, but thankfullyInjustice 2’s Super Movesare more straightforward to execute than its sister series. However, like most moves inInjustice 2,knowing when to use anddefend againstthese Super Moves effectively in battle can make the difference between wasting the Super Meter or destroying an opponent.
How To Use Super Moves In Injustice 2
Using Super Moves inInjusticeis simple to pull off, and the instructions to activate it are as follows:
As withInjustice 2’s Clash events, using the Super Move is all about timing and positioning. Some character will hit their moves at long range, Aquaman being a prime example, while others, such as Wonder Woman, must be in close quarters to successfully hit the Super Move.
The best way to successfully land a Super Move is to be unpredictable and land it after a combo chain or a powerful attack.A Super attack can be blockedthe same way as a regular move inInjustice 2. So trying to hit a Super Move when the characters aren’t mid-flow with a combo chain will make them predictable.
Defending A Super Move Event
With an activated Super Move, a cutscene will show the attack in all its glory. Whether it’s Superman punching his opponents through the sky, akin to theMan of Steelmovie, or the Flash using his super speed to attack his opponents using time and space, these moves are an impressive sight to behold.
However, instead of just sitting back and letting the cutscene play out, the defending playercan reduce the damage of a Super Move inflicted on them. Tapping the X button during the attacks within the scene will activate aShield iconto indicate a damage reduction. For example, during Superman’s scene, each time his opponent gets, the defending player must press X twice to lessen the impact.
Injustice 2is available now for Android, iOS, PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
