This is a little off-topic, but I think one thing NRS should do to balance the characters is differing health levels, like in Capcom games. I certainly do not want NRS games to be just like Capcom games, but that aspect seems like a really good idea. That's one of the reasons Seth isn't S+ tier in SF4, because he has the lowest health in the game. If the heavy zoners or characters like Superman had lower health, it would certainly balance them out significantly. Although, I doubt this is possible to "patch" into the game, but I wouldn't mind seeing it in future NRS games. I honestly think the only reason they don't do it is because the combo % wouldn't be universal anymore, since 30% on one character wouldn't be 30% on another.
Aside from that, of course there is noob friendly aspects to Injustice. If it was just a deep, high execution fighter where only the better player would win... no one would play it. The top players would play it for awhile, then when they realize only 32 people are entering tournaments because the above average but not top players aren't entering, they'll drop the game because they will realize it's not worth all the practice, dedication and money when there's not much competition. It's the exact same problem with games like VF5, UMK3, KoF etc. VF is one of the toughest games to be successful in and yet there's very rarely any tournaments for it.
There won't be a huge skill gap early on in most fighting games, ESPECIALLY a brand new fighting game IP. The average players have a decent chance at beating top players right now, and that's a GREAT thing. We don't want 20 people playing this game at tournaments, we want everyone who thinks they may have a chance at doing well entering. You guys have to stop caring so much about losing to bullshit and start caring more about evolving the scene and gaining more competition which in turn means more money that's being put into the scene overall.
