Why are the IGAU forums sooooo dead?

It's not a jab at you or anyone that helped run it. The game has issues. lol the developers were wondering why people claim to be so hype for MK9 when the people playing in the tournament were doing cartwheels and not really caring about the gameplay.
of course the gameplay wasn't as good. People weren't really even training for it. Also all fighting games have "issues", it is just our community likes to whine about them a whole bunch. That is fine tho, whining isn't going to progress our community anywhere. I am already prepared for the first "this character is broke thread" or "this game sucks" or "the balance in this game is atrocious".

Playing the game also isn't going to make it any less flawed or broken. I have grinded both games extensively. I just don't think they are worth it anymore.

a game being "worth it" is completely subjective though. Also the word "broken" is thrown around too much. Check ST akuma then come back to me lol. Anyways, are you saying this is going to be the community mindset?: A game is too imbalanced or broke, so let's drop it....... that is counter productive. Also playing a game is going to keep it alive at tournaments. Smash would never have had the comeback it is having right now if they did what our community does, they would've just stayed dead. This brings back my talk about our community's loyalty being trash.

I don't care about ST Akuma or any other game for that matter. Capcom games are well established because they have a huge fanbase in the tournament scene and because it was SF that started the FGC tournament scene in the first place. NRS games are not low key because our guys don't play them but because most people from the larger scenes are close-minded and are not willing to give non-Capcom games a chance. As for the NRS scene's loyalty being trash, I disagree. I'll be loyal once we are given a game that is good.

Nah the loyalty is trash lmao. "Once I get a game that is good", guess that won't ever happen for most people since they think that MK9 and/or IGAU were terrible games. If you really don't like NRS games, I don't see why you (or others) keep playing them lol. Also don't say you don't care about ST akuma or other games and keep talking about how "broken" NRS games are. All fighting games have balance issues, you should've been came to that conclusion. Patching a game multiple times or just once a year or etc. will not make a game "balanced' as that is an abstract concept that means something different to everyone.

I keep playing because I hope that they will reach a good balance. Obviously no game is perfect, but I think that they can do better.

Cowboy low key Downplaying sinestro and shang
No lol, this isn't related to my characters. I am not the only one who feels this way.

We actually get two straight games that have been ran at tournaments and have been at evo and mlg. We are actually progressing in a good way IMO. I think IGAU did better in balancing than MK9 as lower tiers such as shazam and catwoman have way better chances than lower tiers like sindel or csz in mk9. We should keep supporting because if we don't support the games, who else will? I doubt the players who play solely Capcom games or Namco games and etc. are going to help us out, we have to help ourselves out. I'm not going to say there aren't some really bad matchups and some annoying things that are frustrating in mk9 and igau, but I believe they are completely tournament viable and MKX will do even better balance wise and etc.

You will serve me in The Netherrealm
I don't think it's that people CAN'T play two games at once. They simply choose not to because, honestly, neither MK9 nor Injustice are worth supporting. Each game has major issues and just aren't very fun at a high level. For example, almost nobody that is good at MK9 really cared about it at EVO this year. It was boring.
Was it? Was it really? All the talk from other players on stuff like KTP and the like talked about how special/epic/important the last EVO MK9 tournament was.
Clearly, it meant something to the grand finalists.

MB B3. Also, why don't you just block the teleport and make a read?

Or go to training mode and test your post-blocked tele options vs. his and see what works. Explore the meta.
That's not how the people on this site work man dude...

Most people do not recognize that the only "entertaining" game out that is balanced in comparison to everything else is USF4.

NRS players are, tbh, babies lol. Stop worrying about how balanced your game is, because tbh, that only matters to an extent. Imbalanced games can be super hype. Why the hell do you think Melee is STILL played and is probably getting bigger and bigger as time goes on?

people aren't willing to explore their options when they only lose a matchup 6 4. They definitely aren't going to explore their options if the matchup is 7 3 or worse. Hell, before evo I was telling ppl that if AM doesn't bop your character, you have a chance vs him (which most characters actually do). But many don't want to hear that, oh well, I enjoyed going 2 0 vs AM at evo #YEEAAPP

smash's balance is...... nuff said lol. But what do they do?, they bring 1k to evo and support their game.

Block Zatannas teleport? I don't complain about Martian. I love fighting him. It's Zatannas I'm talking about. There's nothing to explore. If I can't get in and stay in I lose. That's green lanterns story against ZOD, Martian, cyborg, etc. He prides himself around his oki. Unless I can end every combo with the otg ?
