Starfire Player Shocks Some TMNT Shells In Injustice 2 Comeback

It's easy to lose hope in a fighting game match when you're almost savagely beaten and struggling to mount a counterattack. That said, when the opening presents itself and a comeback occurs, the feeling of winning a desperate match and stealing victory from an overconfident player can feel like pure elation. Just check out the video of this match-up between Starfire and Leonardo!

Clyve "CarbonClyve" Monroe is sitting one good hit or combo away from a loss to a full life bar of Leonardo when he manages to find the hole in the turtle's defense and offense. Making full use of Starfire's affinity for projectiles Clyve starts up his own offensive run, keeping Leonardo far away for the most part and getting in some crucial combos when the action gets too close for comfort. In this way, even with a pinch of health left, Clyve manages to chip and whittle away at Leonardo’s health bar. All the while, Clyve saves Star’s power meter for when he needs it most, negating a clash that would have given Leonardo crucial health to perhaps finish the job against Starfire’s onslaught. The Leonardo player throws every projectile and mobile effort they have at Starfire, but in the end, Clyve prevails over the cocky turtle in a fantastic display of spacing, zoning, and pressure.

It’s especially interesting to see since the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles haven’t been around in Injustice 2 for long and little can be fully known about match-ups against these characters in comparison to the rest of the roster. In the end, it’s patience under pressure that wins out over the aggressive efforts of a brand new character.

Unfortunately, not all comebacks are meant to happen. Check out the quirky use of Guile mechanics in this player’s Street Fighter V win as they stuff a Sakura player’s efforts!
