INJUSTICE: Gods Among Us Thread

[TreK]

Ares and his teleport give him a hard time too.

I'm liking the game so far. Especially the way meter is spent. I wish they came up with something as smart for gaining meter in the first place. SF-like meter gain is so unintuitive :/

 

[LivewiresXe]

Also, it's slightly easier than you'd think with Harley and Catwoman to get in since Cat Stance and Tantrum Stance go under all but the low shots, and can counter on the recovery part with Up-Whip, or Tantrum Stance>X

 

[The Real Gamer]

Speaking of Aers I've played 200 matches and I have yet to see a single Ares, Lex Luthor, Killer Frost, or Hawkgirl.

 

[LivewiresXe]

I've played a couple of Ares with 0 bar connections, but I haven't run into a Luthor or Hawkgirl.

 

[mood4food77]

shazam has a teleport....

but i have an xbox i can give you pointers

 

[The Real Gamer]

And it's a teleport that doesn't have enough invincibility frames to get around Deathstrokes gun spam. It's no better than a forward dash.

What's your GT? I can't play tonight but I can tomorrow.

 

[mood4food77]

Mood4food77, i can't play tonight either

 

[JOE!]

Zoning in this game is super whack...

It's like Mario vs Marth in most MUs lol

 

[Scamp]

I'm maining Hawkgirl. She has a really hard time with good zoners. I think her style is very counter-intuitive for most people, and I'm willing to bet she's not the most popular character in the first place.

Will probably have to switch to Catwoman overall to deal with stuff like Deathstroke and Sinestro.

 

[mood4food77]

hawkgirl deals with zoners way better than catwoman does...except for sinestro

she kinda has this thing in which she flies (reason why sinestro is good against her)

 

[LivewiresXe]

Yeah....Catwoman can't really deal with zoners all that well. That Deathstroke match...Actually, I still have a hard time with that match as Harley too, so I'm considering seconding Black Adam to deal with zoners because I've heard he can.

 

[mood4food77]

harley is way better against deathstroke than black adam is

her straight shot is way faster than any of deathstroke's projectiles, you can literally spam it and stop his zoning

 

[Rutger]

I tried out the demo, this game feels weird. Not necessarily bad though. I don't know if I want to pick it up yet, but I would like to try the Flash.

I'm also a DC fan, in a way, so that's a plus, even if I'm mad DC still doesn't want Wally to exist.

But I don't know how long I would actually play this game. I'll think about it.


I do however love the fact that this game has frame data listed ingame, I would love it if more fighting games would do this.

 

[mood4food77]

pick it up, it's fun as hell (even though the online is mediocre)

flash is hella fun to use

 

[LivewiresXe]

Uh, I don't know where you're getting that because I've tried that against a lot of Deathstrokes online and that has never once worked. Black Adam has the instant projectile that forms at the opponent, and the massively fast foot dive that can go over everything.

 

[mood4food77]

if you block any of deathstroke's projectile, you can punish it with her straight shot, on top of that, her straight shot is +4 on block, meaning he can't even attempt to shoot inbetween, all he can do is crouch and hope you miss

harley outzones deathstroke pretty easily compared to most characters

harley stuffs a lot of deathstroke's options

 

[The Real Gamer]

I'm starting to get good at this game... Not great but good. I've made a lot of progress since I've started and definitely win more often than I lose now.

By the way I just sent you a friend request Mood4food77. Name is XxSteadyEddyxX.

 

[mood4food77]

you still on? cause i'll play right now for a bit if you want to

 

[The Real Gamer]

Yeah I am send me a challenge

 

[mood4food77]

alright, give me like 10 minutes, i have to reset my router

 

[D1]

Went from Joker, to Black Adam, and now I'm staying with Killer Frost. No reason to change mains now.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Good games Mood4food!

I guess if all your opponent is doing is shooting along the ground flight helps but it's simply not very effective against solid players.

seems pretty relevant for the discussion here
I think most characters have a projectile fast enough to counter after block
if you need to get in, just be patient, block and dash

I'm really digging Joker in this

 

[AlexoftheAura]

If anybody's interested in playing my XBL tag is AlexoftheAura, gonna be jumping on for a bit.

 

[Sunnysunny]

Switched to Black Adam, got a nice 30 win streak in Ranked.
People gotta stop jumping yo.

XBL

Off topic, but I lol'd heartily.

I had a 41 win streak in ranked with aquaman.

[The Real Gamer]

LOL that Aquaman song was epic.

 

[OBT]

I know, it's my new favorite video on youtube lol

Yeah, I HAD a 41 win streak, then a stupid tupid cyborg killed it... KILLED IT

 

[TreK]

Just played a week of Ares. I may be just a bit obstinate, because the character is kinda bad. No getup options, no legit antiair, no real defense in fact. Sure, he can get in on even Deathstroke more easily than anybody else, but his combos hardly do any damage xD
Only thing he has going for him is a very neat reset (meterburned godsmack), and even then, some characters can counter it.

I'll probably switch to Aquaman next week.

 

[LivewiresXe]

You know, I always wondered about how viable Solomon Grundy would be but...after watching Snafoo go crazy with Grundy today...man.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Apparently Scorpion, Zod, and Bat Girl are theorized as DLC based on voice actors being confirmed for them in other countries

 

[Deleted member]

I think Solomon Grundy plays like Zangief. They're both grapplers and have command grabs.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Gotta love the idiots who are so concerned about their W/L ratio that they won't even accept my challenge when they see that I have an even higher W/L.

They don't get it... The only way you get better in fighting games is to intentionally play people that are better than you.

I guess they'd just rather play against bad kids all day just to protect their record... sad

Or they might just be putting it off to make sure their W/L is high and THEN going to play against people better than them, lol.

 

[MysteryRevengerson]

I've never felt more in control of space than getting someone in the corner with Nightwing and switching to the Staff and his combos carry you SO FAR

Feels good.

 

[The Real Gamer]

What's the difference? Your W/L will suffer regardless. I just think people care about it way too much in this game.

 

[Coney]

this game just makes me mad

i hate games when the low-level strategies have more options than anything else...like, half of the cast can just retreat, shooting lasers and using interactables as they come. sure there's counterplay, but only when you get to a certain competency to be able to counter it. it makes the low-level gameplay REALLY ****ty

half the interactables are free damage too, which sucks a lot

not having fun yet but maybe i will soon, the immediate reaction is that this game is everything i hated about brawl, scary

 

[The Real Gamer]

You just haven't figured out how to punish the intractables yet, and yes they are avoidable and far from free damage. When someone is using an interactable from a distance just use a well timed back dash or backwards jump (depending on the interactable) to avoid it. When someone is close to you and uses one, you can abuse the invincibility frames during a meter burned F3/B3 and dash cancel it for a free punish while your opponent is still recovering from the interactable animation.

But honestly though low level gameplay in nearly every FG is pretty crappy to an extent. You just gotta keep at it. I've been using the same character since release and I'm learning new tricks with him every day.

 

[Coney]

yeah i definitely see that...i play grundy and i'm just now getting the handle of cancelling WC to use the super armor

i guess it's just because i play grundy and don't have any way to punish people for going for interactables (at least not aerial ones) since they'll just be running away from me the entire match

i prob just have to play someone else until i know more about the game, i get grundy's good but it's so frustrating being ran away from 100% of the time, it's like my brawl career all over again

i never meant to say it's a bad game or anything, i just feel like the stages are HUGE and heavily favor just zoning and camping with not enough options (at least, not immediately visible ones) for offensive play
