We had a chance to play with both characters, which have
very different fighting styles. Nightwing is primarily weapons-based,
wielding a staff that has a extended reach for sweeping and poking
attacks. He’s also noticeably nimbler than other fighters and can leap
out of danger when backed into a corner.

Nightwing’s staff can be split in two by pressing the special button —
B on an Xbox 360 controller — increasing his speed and jump height, but
decreasing his range. Nightwing’s weapon stance change opens up a new
set of attacks and special moves for the character

Cyborg’s fighting style includes a series of powerful hand-to-hand
attacks complemented with long-range attacks: lasers, fireballs and
missile strikes. Using the game’s mechanic of high, mid and low attacks,
Cyborg can launch missiles straight into the air, shoot fireballs
forward and emit energy blasts at an opponent’s feet.

Cyborg’s special — again, with the Xbox 360 controller’s B button —
is a health regenerating move, ensuring that opponents must stay
offensive when fighting him. His charged up super move consists of a
hefty, oversized punch followed by a screen-filling energy blast a la
Iron Man’s super move from Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
