Given Injustice 2 looks to make only minor 'innovations' on the formula established by the first game - attribute-modifying clothing, some small mechanical additions / subtractions - should it not be reasonable to expect that the game contain most, if not all the characters from the prior game?
That is to say, all that would be required is a character selection screen expansion and the changes made for '2', incorporated for the characters from '1'. I know there's a little more to it than that, but the basic premise of the argument is sound.
My point being, if they release the game with the same-ish size roster (or smaller... if SFV is any canary in the coal mine), then people are going to cry 'cheap cash in'. Worse yet, if many of those characters are from '1' (a given), it will only exacerbate peoples' anger. However, if the game launched with most or all of the first game's combatants - or, at very least, assurances that an expansive roster was forthcoming - I think people might overlook the 'Injustice v1.0.0.1' look and [seeming] feel of the game, knowing that it at least would sport a character compliment in the realm of MvC3's or KoFXIV's.
What I suspect, though, is that Netherregion will likely settle for a roster of the same size or smaller than was present in '1' (perhaps by half-a-dozen characters or so) and rest on their 'But we've given you some armours to play about with, effectively making each character = one hunded!' laurels. Then, of course, Boon droogs will accept this illogical thinking and dismiss anyone who calls such racekteering out for what it is, 'trolls'. -Baba Vagna
