Unlock the secrets to devastating combo attacks in Injustice: Gods Among Us! Learn the button inputs for powerful character-specific combos and basic moves to dominate your opponents.

Alright, let's dive into the good stuff: combo attacks! These are your bread and butter for really putting the hurt on your opponents in Injustice. Think of them as special sequences of button presses that unleash more powerful moves than your basic punches and kicks. Mastering these will seriously up your game.

The source text breaks down a bunch of these by character, but it looks like it's using a shorthand. Let's decode it:

  • L usually means Light Attack (Square on PlayStation, X on Xbox)
  • M usually means Medium Attack (Triangle on PlayStation, Y on Xbox)
  • H usually means Heavy Attack (Circle on PlayStation, B on Xbox)
  • b means back (away from the opponent)
  • f means forward (towards the opponent)
  • d means down
  • u means up (though not used here)
  • + means pressing buttons simultaneously
  • T means Throw (R2 on PlayStation, RT on Xbox)

Now, let's look at some of these combos. The source lists them under a character name that seems to be 'Doomsday' based on the first few entries. These are character-specific, so what works for one might not work for another.

Doomsday Combos (Example)

  • Doom to All — S* (This likely means a single button press, maybe a specific attack button, marked with a special note). The note says: *Doomsday forms rock armor and cannot be knocked down. This sounds like a special state or move he can enter.
  • Complete Destruction — L, L (Light Attack, Light Attack)
  • Hunter — L, L, M (Light Attack, Light Attack, Medium Attack)
  • Worlds Collide — L, M (Light Attack, Medium Attack)
  • Reign Supreme — L, M, H (Light Attack, Medium Attack, Heavy Attack)
  • Prehistoric Kryptonian — b + L, H (Back + Light Attack, then Heavy Attack)
  • Crisis — M, M (Medium Attack, Medium Attack)
  • The Ultimate — M, M, L + H (Medium Attack, Medium Attack, Light Attack + Heavy Attack)
  • Agony — M, H (Medium Attack, Heavy Attack)
  • Infinite Power — M, H, d + H (Medium Attack, Heavy Attack, Down + Heavy Attack)
  • Alpha-Omega — f + M, H (Forward + Medium Attack, Heavy Attack)
  • Ravage — b + M, H (Back + Medium Attack, Heavy Attack)
  • Countless Deaths — b + M, H, L (Back + Medium Attack, Heavy Attack, Light Attack)
  • The Destroyer — H, H (Heavy Attack, Heavy Attack)

These are just examples, and the game has a full roster with their own unique combos. You'll want to experiment in training mode to get a feel for the timing and range of each move.

The Flash - Basic & Air Attacks

The source also gives us a peek at The Flash's basic and air attacks. These are the building blocks for his combos:

Basic Attacks:

  • Fast Punch — L
  • Lightning Jabs — M
  • Dashing Elbow — H
  • Side Chop — b + M
  • Power Kick — b + H
  • Spinning Backhand — f + M
  • Flashy Kick — f + H
  • Quick Kick — d + L
  • Boots Up — d + M
  • Trip Kick — d + H

Air Attacks:

  • Straight Kick — L (in the air)
  • Air Race — M (in the air)
  • Double Fist — H (in the air)

Throws:

  • Forward Throw — f + T or f + L + H
  • Reverse Throw — T or b + L + H

Remember, the 'T' button is your throw command. Using these basic attacks and understanding the directional inputs (like 'b' for back, 'f' for forward) is key to stringing together those more complex combos listed earlier. Don't be afraid to jump into training mode and just mash buttons to see what happens – you might discover your own killer combos!
