Reasons Injustice Is The Way It Is

Did they purposely design the imbalance to be the way it is?

NRS is a great studio. They spent time and effort to make the quality of the game what it is. From the sound, to the animations, to the greatest story mode in a fighting game. Everything is what they wanted it to be.

When they kreated Injustice, like most developers, they wanted to emerge us into the world of a new game. So how did they do this? They made Superman able to dominate without much thought. They made Batman and Deathstroke, some of the few answers to him. They made Green Arrow the way he is: Great as a normal hero but thrown into a world of overpowered Heroes and Villains. They made Grundy never stop. And the list goes on and on....

One thing that they specifically added as a symbolic gesture for us is the character Shazam. In the story mode he is seen as the loyalist. He always supports Superman no matter what. And in the end how does he get rewarded?? Well we all know how he ends up. Both in game and in the story you kan see the direction they wanted to point us to. Forget your morals, forget your loyalty to characters, and remember that you are not in the world you thought you were.

Of kourse, just like in the story there are insurgents, those who oppose the rule and stick to their lower tier characters. There are even some that were metaphorically killed by Superman's Regime (they stopped playing because of the imbalance). At the end of the day, however, it is only those that choose to accept the help of the top tier that are going to win. Even Batman realized this in story mode. You kould tell he didn't want to do it, but he knew the other Batman was right. This is a world of top tiers, accept their aid or perish.

TL/DR :It's kalled Injustice for a reason..

PS: This is something I was thinking of when the game first kame out but I think by now everyone has realized it.
 
I just don't understand some of the concepts....

Killer Frost has a safe low combo launching slide (invincible on wakeup too) ONLY -4 on block.
Green Arrow has a low slide that does not combo, and is what like -30 on block?

MMH has good tools, yet he is given an overhead teleport that is only -8 on block with massive pushback. Then you have characters like zatanna and raven with slow ass teleports. Sure, you can MB MMH but still, it's kinda funky how the balance is worked out.


Then you have Superman lolz.

If they nerf the top 7 and buff the bottom 7, I don't see the problem, it's not that big deal, the game is more balanced than mk9 and mk10 is coming with GTA.

....And then there are some that were born into the world of injustice..


The analogy just keeps getting better.

TBH I think the game is much more balanced than people think. We havent seen the highest level of character specialist yet, and we havent seen all the tech each character has to offer. Its a brand new game so obviously the most stand out and easy characters are getting picked up by the best and are taking events. I feel that in time people will expand what they can do and the highest level will play more perfectly and opinions will change.

I really would link to know how they actually balance the game precisely (testers, if they look at the pro scene, stats on the online : 925 592 529 cars explosed in the metropolis, that Paulo guy who thinks we didn't know about stuff non cyborg players know like grapple b3, and stuffs like that).

Just by curiousity.

Blizzard did explain how they were doing for starcraft 2 (reports from noobs/pros, ratio win/lose stats, pro scene, testers). NRS COM really sucks once again.

Imagine if Blizzard made a fighting game.

It's amore, BABY.
You can't just keep calling someone a bad guy until he is one...

No matter how many times you guys call me a villain, or a bad guy, or whatever it is you seem to want to make me...

I'm not that guy.
And at every tournament, every person who meets and interacts with me finds out who I actually am.

Not what you guys decide me to be.

I'm sorry man. You just have the kurse of having your favorite character be Superman.

I wanted you to know what I was saying though. That's why I tagged you. Don't like talking negatively about people, even jokingly like in this kase, without them knowing.
 
Interedting post I like it makes a lot of sense. Its funny how they killed shazam in story mode and he is also at the bottom of the tier list.
