Clash

The Clash, also known as a Wager, is a mechanic in Injustice and Injustice 2.

 

Procedure

During a match, a player who has lost their first health bar can initiate a clash while trapped in an enemy combo, by pressing forward and the meter burn button. After successfully doing so, both characters will fly apart from each other, each give a line of dialogue, before simultaneously charging towards and attempting to attack each other.

During a clash, players wager portions of their Super Meter in secret. If the player who initiates the clash wagers more Meter than the opponent, they will knock them back and gain health proportional to the amount of Meter they won the clash by. If they wager less than the opponent, then they will be knocked back and receive damage instead. Clashes cannot reduce health to zero.

Characters have unique dialogue when clashing. Some of what they say will go to any character, while others are meant for specifics characters only. On a similar note, certain quotes can be said to characters of a certain group (heroes, villains, young characters).

Examples

The following quotes would go with any character:

• "This is for your own good!"

Trivia

• The first person to talk is the one who interrupted the combo.
• So as to distinguish the mainstream heroes from their counterparts, the quotes the counterparts say tend to reflect the personalities they have in their universe.
