General Injustice Gods Among Us Gameplay Chat

I hate the game. But I still play it.



Injustice isn't about spacing or footsies. It's about mixups and zoning. Which is bull
 
Same with MK, and it's my favorite fighter. I wish I could get into Japanese fighting games more, but I can't. They are without a doubt better games though.

Probably going to drop this game soon actually. The patch is nice, but it came way too late. Most of the time there is literally less than 5 players searching in Ranked and Player matches combined. An average of 15 people in the lobbies. Mostly the only players left are the no-lifers with like 3000+ matches played. As I type this, this guy with 3214 Player matches is waiting for me to accept. I'm just making him wait until he gets fed up then declines. haha

There are very few characters in the game that I find respectable, and no one plays them. It's always the same shit over and over. Everyone playing 100% the same way. No originality with anything. It gets old. Every time I face a character I always know exactly what they are going to do and how they are going to play.

It's mostly the people who play the game that are the problem with it. and seeing as my friends don't really play it anymore, there is no point in playing really.

Simply because the mechanics are to strict. Theres no room for experimentation unlike in fighters like Blazblue and Persona 4 for example. Alot of footsies, crossups and 50/50s. Street Fighter has alot of the same combos but unlike Injustice you can play footsies and backdashes that are actually effective.

This game is just character A does this, character B can punish using this. You can only do what the game lets you and you're not given the tools to step outside that very small box

The game punishes you for playing smart. Its the simple things that get most people but thats because people just do it over an over again. E.g Batmans j2 or Supermans F23, at some point you will get hit by it. Persistence nets you a big reward.
 
I know that some already miss me, kicking ass on multiplayer, but I definitely need a break from using Gold til early November. I'm guessing that most fighters need those options of spacing, footsies (I know that Nightwing and Hawkgirl have pretty fast D+1) and also some 50/50 as well. Also, before my gold expired a few weeks back, I was getting bored of always beating the hell out of my opponents with Hawkgirl (I have caused several to most of them ragequitting when I use her).

By the way, I hope the next local Injustice tournament give me some better opponents when it commences in a couple of weeks. So I definitely refine my Injustice skills, so it can be sharpen again.
 
I definitely love Deathstroke now.
A high ranking supes player that I usually go 50/50 with just got smashed with Slade.


I don't know his official matchups, but Green Lantern is definitely the one I hate the most.
Doomsday covers that matchup though. Come to think of it, Doomsday covers a lot of my bad matchups.
 
Butthurt Lobo player decided to message me this doozy.

'Lemme Guess 2000 Games Won Using Deathstroke Spam Nice Job Taking The Fun Out Of The Game'

(All capitalized for some reason :s)

My response: 'DS isn't even in my top 5 so try again and you're the one who did nothing but walk away. I did all the approaching, I did all the combos, I did all the blocking, I won the match all in a game with a sloppy connection. There was no spam, I played you like the fool you are'

This dude was literally just walking back. Loading up shell and shooting them off as if they're effective zoning tools. I blocked every single one of them and only using my guns on approach. High low mixup. Then when I was in ingot 20-45% combos.

I don't even own lobo and I knew this retard was playing him all wrong.
 
Full screen is not where you want to be. Lobo's sweet spot is not too far but not too close. About his low hook range. That way people can't hit you with normals, and they can't effectively zone you. I hardly ever his his meterless DB2. Sure, it does decent damage, but it puts the opponent at full screen. I'd rather sacrifice 5% damage and keep them close.
 
You actually don't need the d2 for the f3. You only need d2 if you wanted to b3 after b1, u2. Without the d2 it does 4% extra.


With the new Ex B3/F3 buffs I've found a combo that makes the overhead b2 a lot more dangerous.

b2, 2 (Hit confirm) ExF3 ~ ji2 ~ 3, 2, 3 ~ f2, 3xxSword Flip
41%, 44% if you can land a ji3 instead of ji2 but it's a hell of a lot more strict.

My regular bnb
1, 3, 2 ~ ji2 ~ 3, 2, 3 ~ f2, 3xxSword Flip
33%




bnb for punishing Martian's down teleport after walking forward

f2, 3xxMachine Gun
20%

Ahhh okay. I see. I don't really use JI3 in combos online. I'd rather go for a little less damage but more consistent.

Why did they not fix the MBB3/F3 problem? Sometimes it gets held even though it wasn't actually held down by the player.

Probably B1U2, D2, F3, 323, F23~Sword Flip.

This is my go to bnb just depends on the connection if I want to use D2 and get that extra airtime. Also getting F23 to work consistently is a hassle for me. Either it'll totally whiff or the 3 fails to come out.

For a waste of meter but looking cool for 30% I like to MB DB3 then MB guns maybe coming from a JI3 1 2. Usually like to blow this at the end of matches just end in style.
 
I have, and I hear other people on TYM saying they have had the same problem. Only when you MB it. Not sure if it's character-specific. It happened with Martian Manhunter today. I can't say for sure who else but it's happened a few times.

EDIT: Just happened to me again, almost costed me the game.

Anyone one xbl have to re-download their patch everytime the get online? Last three attempts forced me to redownload a patch but I'm all up to date... I don't get it.
 
Salty shit.


Sinestro is probably the most annoying zoner in this game. I went against this guy named ATL Untamed. Dude SMASHED through my Deathstroke, Doomsday and my Bane. It was all bad.


He would constantly move backwards and with Sinestro's backwalk speed it made any attempt of crossing him up or hitting him with a low almost impossible. He would either hit me with his approaching normal, don't know the notation. But he lunges forward with an axe. Or he would do the usual fireball zoning. Mixing it in with loading his trait, and when he loaded it, it was pretty much game over. He had 3 get out of jail free shots and from the looks of it, there was nothing I could do.

Maybe I'll try Scorpion. Can't imagine that'll help much.

No problems here. Try clearing your cache.

Is it me or did they slip in some new quotes in this patch?

No, there are just a ton of them in the game and lots of combinations with characters. I was still hearing the marines in Halo 3 say new dialogue even years after the game was out.

Sinestro is immensely rage-inducing. This guy was pissing me off last night. As soon as I'd get close, he'd do two D2's to get me off of him. It would also anti-air me super hard if I tried to jump in. Finally I picked Deathstroke and he didn't even play that match, he just watched. I hate when people do that. I always get them down to about 25% health then right when the timer hits 1, I do a Super. haha
