Scarecrow
Best Characters in Injustice 2
To be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect of Scarecrow in Injustice 2. I went in thinking he’d be similar to a Takeda-type character with his hook that has limited reach, but he proved to be so much more. While the hook certainly does help control fights, it’s not in the way you would expect. It isn’t really used for keeping opponents close, rather it’s used for bashing and keeping foes out of the air and more subdued. It’s heavy look perfectly reflects its power as you use it to string combos and shield yourself from overly aggressive attackers.
The hook itself isn’t the only star of the show, though. Fear Toxins are used to deal damage over time, disorient, and even push opponents away, allowing Scarecrow to stay in his mid-range comfort zone. He’s deceptively quick for his size, too, which can easily throw other players off guard. Even if you know to expect his speed it can still keep you off balance which is perfect for a fighting game where obtaining the upper hand is key. Scarecrow’s ability to surprise and control his opponent is what makes him a standout. It’s not very often that you get a big character that can do so much so easily.
