Those Quotes We All Wish We Could Take Back -- The Forgiveness Thread

A smart BG will find a way to open people up. I cant dash in without being checked by literally any string, cartwheel options can all be OSd. See PLs thread. Ji2 mixup can be backdashed. I have to take risks to open people up, however they are hella in my favor. See how PL played me at TFC. I am just a smart BG player and know how to open people up and keep you guessing.

Look at Lex:
Amazing Trait. D3. Ji3--> mixup, probe setups.
Kf: Progressing slide thats a mixup against alot of characters on block. *SAFE VORTEX. Good zoning.

BG: Ji2/Tele
Its not my fault people dont know how to limit BGs options. Shes FAR better than those characters, but she still has the hardest neutral.
Your trying to prove me wrong yet you dont even know how to BG. Pick her up and let me see you actually do good with her. Because I cant.
Your dash in only gets checked? Man that must suck, loads of characters get punished on reaction. Yeah j2~mix-up can be backdash by the characters that have a good backdash, the others just have to fucking hold that shit. And it's only a backdash, it's not like Batgirl can't do anything. Plus j3 is ridiculous as well.

Lex is only good with trait, which comes at the cost of any decent movement or fast specials apart from corps charge and actually having trouble getting in when at zoning disadvantage, and slide is all KF can do, her movement is too slow to actually play a competitive footsie game.

Look I'm not saying Batgirl's neutral is a walk in the park, but you're saying she's got the 2nd hardest when it's no where near the case and everyone else knows it.

I know about Batgirl, but I understand that just because she doesn't have absolutely everything in terms of tools and characters have some options doesn't mean that it's some how this massive struggle.

You can't fuzzy guard it though...
Question: do you think Scorpion's vortex in MK9 is fuzziable? No extended response, just a Yes or a No for now.

And yet when I say things like this it's "downplaying". Thank you Sonic for explaining that Batgirl isn't auto-win and that people aren't dealing with her properly sometimes :)

Without the context of the reward I'd say Batgirl and Catwoman have a pretty comparable neutral game.
Is catwoman's jump 2 a bill? Cuz if it's not, Catwoman might have it a little easier in terms of closing space lol.

I actually kinda know what @SonicFox5000 is talking about now with Batgirl's neutral. A lot of people that play Sonic in tournament say that he often waits for people to hang themselves in matches rather than going ham with rushdown. I think that's a really smart way to play Batgirl considering that she does have to work a bit to get in and doesn't really have insane pressure or anything if you block correctly. Not trying to downplay the utter brokenness of her meterless vortex (because that balances out her weaknesses more than enough), just saying that I understand the sentiment.

When @Phosferrax argued with the EVO champ, @SonicFox5000 , about his own character.

Those were the days.
No one will ever make me believe that Batgirl has the 2nd hardest neutral game in Injustice.

But of course people will conclude that I'm saying Batgirl is auto-win without actually considering the argument, or will think I'm an idiot because SonixFox won EVO and I'm supposedly telling him how to play the character, instead of realizing that I'm disagreeing with his opinion that Batgirl has to work harder than the low tier characters who don't have as many good tools as her in the neutral game.

Carry on, TYM.

Seems to me that you're just misunderstanding what sonicfox is saying.

I don't know who is right, and don't care. Just found it funny :D

Agreed. I say the only thing that makes CW win the neutral game against BG is ji2. Bg gets flustered.

I dont think you understand. Just because she has the hardest neutral doesnt mean she has to struggle. If i get the hit lmao rip.

Then I think we both misunderstand eachother, but it's just opinions and I couldn't be bothered anymore when it doesn't make a difference either way.

Things to note:

Venom Uppercut on block is -6 to -8

There is at least a 15f gap between the uppercut and the MB overhead, meaning that you can dash out, uppercut or MB F3 it ( character dependent those 2. )

Any uppercut that raises your upper body hurtbox will not work ( Grundy, GL ), you can MB F3 though in the case of Grundy ( f3 11 MB swamp hands ) and perhaps GL.

MB venom uppercut is not safe and it is punishable on reaction, no matter the version.

Can a mod change title to MB Venom uppercut?

First post updated with a vid on punishment.

I forgive you.

Why the hell would I apologize for a statement that is absolutely right?

Sektor was just outside of top 10 in MK9. Possibly as low as 14th or 15th. He was a well balanced character with no flaws other than getting torched by Kabal, Cyrax and maybe Kenshi. Deathstroke is easily top 12. It's possible he's even top 10.

In fact, he's got even less bad matchups than Sektor.

I was actually sooo right about that statement I might've been wrong. Deathstroke is probably better off than Sektor.
The Sektor analogy aside, falling from 3rd to 12th best is actually a significant deterioration. Deathstroke deteriorated from super top tier to high mid tier.

Characters who are definitely better than Deathstroke are as follows.

- Aquaman
- Bane
- Batgirl
- Batman
- The Flash
- Martian Manhunter
- Sinestro
- Superman
- Wonder Woman
- Zod

I have also excluded characters like Black Adam, Doomsday, and Green Lantern who may be debated.

Why would he be top 10? He is average in every aspect of the game (i.e., footsies, zoning, damage output, interactable object control, mobility, etc.). The anti-zoning is still very good. On the other hand, the trait is worthless. I had to listen to fools like MIT for many months post-patch rant about how much better the trait had become. Some fools also predicted the trait would in time "become as good as Zod's".

Even your God and idol Slips has called Deathstroke "the Sektor of Injustice".
Deathstroke is overall better than Batman in almost every way.

Deathstroke has better:
Zoning
Counter-Zoning
Mix-ups
Corner Game
Interactable Control
Anti-Air
Footsies (without trait)
Normals

Batman has better:
Trait
Super

It's debatable who's jump attacks are better. Deathstroke is better than Batman in almost every way. If Batman is top 10, than so is Deathstroke. Either they both are top 10, or neither are top 10, or Deathstroke is while Batman isn't
