Just got Injustice in the mail today finally. Did the tutorial and I'm working on learning Aquaman. I'm having one huge (and maybe laughably simple) problem. I can't block effectively for the life of me. I played MK9 a lot and grew up playing MK1-3. I never played any 2D fighting games besides those so this is a big sudden change for me. I understand back is block and down is crouch block.. but I just can't seem to block well. Am I supposed to hit back on reaction? I find myself holding back just walking backwards across the screen. I've not played too much so maybe I'm just missing something entirely but I can't seem to adapt to this.
I strive to be pretty good at every game I play so that's why I'm here. I like to learn from the best. Anyone have any tips on blocking? I'm sure practice is best but my brain can't even process it right now. The computer mauls me while I sit there clueless. I account a bit of this to not being practiced. I haven't played MK9 in over a year probably. I know a huge portion is blocking though and it just feels overwhelming to learn. I feel doomed.
Edit: I use the 360 controller to play using the D-pad.
