Looking for some 1v1 at the moment on XBL if anyone is down.

GT ErrantElement

Edit: I'm getting ranked matches against Deathstrokes who don't zone, Supermans who don't punish and Aquamen who rage quit. Ranked mode is so random sometimes.

Most who says Injustice is horribly unbalanced or unplayable probably came in with a very hard bias to Capcom-ish fighters. They are completely different beasts that appeal to different sensibilities. I can't stand Capcom fighters, but love MK/Injustice.

Honestly, anybody who claims it's "unbalanced and unplayable" and cites Solomon Grundy as an example is probably not very good at fighting games. Injustice has its issues just like every other fighter but it sounds like he's just unwilling or unable to learn how to fight against command grabs and/or super armor.

Yeah, he's a big SF4 player back in the day. He was reasoning was he said that you could be grabbed while down, not that there are command groups. He said he was like a Super Zangief. Glad it's not that case tough, can' wait to pick it up.

Grundy doesn't have a grab that picks you up when you're on the ground, it's just part of the animation of his chain grab.

So I assume most of the goon lobbies are in the US, is it going to be playable/enjoyable or just a pain in the rear end for everyone if I join? (Me being a euro)

edit: 360. Guess i'll try it next time I see one up and see how it feels, just didn't want to be a jerk if it was known to be awful, cheers.

Depends, are you on 360 or PS3? The latter can't connect across the Atlantic due to region locking apparently, but the former would just depend on what ping you get.

Thanks, kind words from someone who utterly mopped up against me! Similarly, Sinestro is an unknown quantity for me, I don't see a lot of him. It's a devious style: you want to dash in to get past boulders, but then you eat a combo in close.

Ah okay, that makes me feel better. That turned me off of the game when a buddy of mine who loves fighting game says the game was horrible unbalanced and unplayable.

Haha, I love people like this. I can understand not liking the game but playing it for, what, maybe 2 weeks and declaring it "horribly unbalanced and unplayable" is just hilarious. You might want to take said friend's opinions with a grain of salt from now on.

Quick and easy question:

If I loved the poo poo out of Mortal Kombat, will I love the poo poo out of this? Is the netcode any better (on PS3)? I didn't have a lot of netcode problems with MK9 but it was still pretty bad when nobody was online but people in Brazil or whatever.

If Ambush Bug ever gets added, I will buy two copies.

I loved MK9 too, and I quite like this game. It's got a lot of minute differences to get past, and it's weird to not have horrible bloody fatalities anymore, but it has much of the same feel. The characters feel more distinct and rounded out, thanks in part to the awesome character power gimmick.

The story mode isn't nearly as good, and the equivalent of the challenge tower is outright awful, but eh.

Seems better to me. It may take a little bit to find player matches, but the amount of laggy connects has been real low for me in the Midwest U. S. I haven't seen any stutter during a match where there wasn't already stutter on the character select.

So I don't know if this has been discussed yet, but...in the Batgirl trailer, does her chest look...weird? Or is that just me? Like someone accidentally set the boob size slider to 3 or 4 times what it was supposed to be. She's got crazy old school Lara Croft boobs going on there, and I don't like it.

I know that the frame data in the move lists is supposed to be bugged or wrong to some extent, but is there anywhere to find out exactly what is incorrect? Is it all off by x amount of frames or just certain things or ???

Some(all?) multi-hit moves have their frame data based on the first hit, not the last. Which causes some pretty confusing things.

As Crofts said, pretty much any multi-hitting move is wrong, and certain other moves are, too. For instance, Hawkgirl's Mace Charge is listed at -8 but you can block Superman's super afterward.

No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.

I played 27 ranked games tonight, 16 of them involved someone rage quitting on me.

FUUUUCKKKKKKKKKK :ssj:

I wanted to end my session on a win, took 5 games straight before I got someone who wouldn't ragequit. This poo poo is more frustrating than any kind of actual losing at this point.

*ed*

For something more constructive than just bitching, and maybe this should have been obvious but I only just found it out earlier; is that WonderWoman can cancel into her stance switch off strings. Now this really doesn't mean much outside of some potential corner combos because Sword stance is hot garbage but hey, there it is :unsmith:

Honestly I wouldn't touch ranked with a 10 foot pole until they fix that.

Also I'm pretty sure I told you this before, or at least mentioned it in the last thread, but midscreen Wonder Woman can link from certain SnS strings into 4, Lasso Spin. I think she can do it off 11, 2 and maybe something else I forgot. It's really tough because you can't allow WW to return to a neutral state (because that's how NRS keeps things like ground strings linking into each other and making infinites from happening), and you can't buffer the Lasso Spin's input, so it's essentially a one frame link. If you do get it though, you can do like SnS 11~4 Lasso Spin 23 b3 j3 23 XX Lasso Grab or something like that.

On another note, after getting frustrated at the deficiencies of some of the secondary characters I was trying out, I'm starting to put some lab time into Green Lantern. I'm doing so partly because I like his space control, especially that hitbox on Lantern's Might, and partly because I love his Yellow Lantern outfit.

I was looking at his TestYourMight character subforum in the BnB thread they have for GL, but there's quite a bit of clutter and redundant or unnecessary combo variations. One of the things that helps me learn is writing/typing stuff out, so I've been working on paring the list down a bit to only the necessary variations. It's still a pretty big list, considering that each starter has 0, 1, and 2 meter variations and trait cancels in some of the combos, but in my mind it's an improvement. If anyone would like the list once I'm done fixing it up, let me know and I can post it in here (and then immediately find out I missed something obvious, probably).
