CHOO CHOO BANE TRAIN
So, today was my first time at GBS, offline, a local, whatever the fuck you'd like to call it. It was honestly the most fun I've had playing Injustice since the first days of learning combos and discovering back breaker. When I first showed up to this monster of an arcade on ogden, I was a little nervous. I'd heard a lot about how different monitors are (Online and Offline may as well be 2 different games), and the fact that I'd be the resident Bane tonight. Big shoes to fill.
I walk out of my care, I see Saucy Jack and Truth taking a cig break. I asked where to sign up, Jack showed me and I stepped in to the most legendary local of all time. Small crowd, the ever hype 16 Bit was in the commentators chair. I met one of the nicest people ever, Hruza da Bruza. Dude is fucking awesome. Anyways, now the tournaments starting. I'm up to go, and I realize my stick doesn't work with the xbox. Fuck. Now, I'm stuck on a pad, which I haven't used in upwards 5 months. I actually have a lot of Nightwing experience, @Dja_Homies but a lot of my normal strats weren't working due to stupid tiny pads. First match was close, 2nd was decisive. Hruza takes 2-0.
Fill (Who is a damned giant. Seriously he is tall as shit) vs Rational Jim. I can not begin to describe how badly I wanted Fill to lose. Flash is one of the only characters that I'm quite bad at fighting, I've been practicing vs him a lot but sometimes I just don't want to play anymore. Jim loses, and now we have to play. Obviously I sprinted to Martian, option selecting the entire way. First match I won, I got a pretty decisive lead zoning, and made good use of Martian's ridiculous throw range. I could hear Bit coaching Jim in the back, which surprised me because it was my first day ;~;. And first time offline. Ever. Either way, I end up taking the set 2-1, because I shit you not I just grabbed to victory. I counted 11 grabs the whole set. MMH grab normalization please.
3rd set was vs PPJ, the one I feared the most. I knew he played Zatanna and Shazam, which are 2 of my most hated match ups. He picks hawkgirl. First thought was "Welp, time to pack it up" I have very little Hawkgirl experience, and he's the best. The first match wasn't horrible, I charged too much and I dropped a few crucial inputs, notably a corpse hop 113. PPJ bodied me 2-0, but it's ok. He got like what 5th or 4th at evo? Insane. That rounded out my night as I had to leave early, but this was honestly one of the coolest things I've ever done. Everyone there is super friendly and very helpful, shout out to @GGA Jeremiah for letting me use his stick for my last 2 sets.
I'll be going again next week, and I hope to level up more as I go. Hopefully next time Bit can coach me from the sidelines, because I will need it. I'll also look into buying an xbox stick, but I'm poor so fuck it. Thanks again everyone I met, you guys are all cool as hell. I pray that Max comes next week so I can learn from the best bane there is. But still option select to Martian when I'm scared

Also a lot of people in stream were asking why I grabbed my chest inbetween matches. It gives me special powers.
