Who would you have me put instead? Foxy Grampa who is virtually untested? I understand people say he's good, but he has 0 tournament resume to warrant him a spot up there. Plus I said in the OP that i would leave people out because it's unavoidable.

So many threads like this, all it does is build up egos.

 

[Blind_Ducky]

@WoundCowboy is the best <3

 

[F4tal]

if we're going by pure results the best injustice player is @KDZ. kdz has won evo, tfc, and winter brawl. (two of the games biggest tournaments to date). the second best injustice player would be sonicfox since he won the third biggest injustice tournament to date, final round. he's also placed top at tfc, winter brawl, and apex. forever king would be third best injustice player since he's won kit, been at grand finals for tfc, summer jam, top 8 for ncr. jupiter deserves an honorable mention as a player who can certainly become the best player if he just travels to tournaments.

@coolwhip i agree with you that reo shouldn't be in the conversation of best injustice player. most consistent? absolutely. like you said, his tournament showing after evo diminished heavily.

How did his tournament showings after EVO dimish the fact that he shouldn't be in the conversation? He went to Summer Jam, APEX, Defend the North, and Final Round and made top 8 at all of them. Just because he didn't go to TFC, NEC, KiT, or SCR doesn't really justify that he shouldn't be in the conversation. Also, REO has won numerous local tournaments beating KDZ and Grr at most of them and other players as well. I personally think REO should be int he conversation for best player but I do respect your opinion

Tyrant cause getting second with Grundy is actually amazing.

[juicepouch]

reo because lol

It should be noted if tonyt were an option I would've voted him instead, because :tonyt

 

[LanceMonsoon]

U know who I voted for lol. But I think Theo and Jupiter and REO understand the game the most at this point in time. Of course in the all time list I think REO, KDZ, King, SonicFox, and Rico would take the top 5. It's actually amusing to see the FR champ only having 6 votes, do people hate SonicFox or is this just because of CW GF? IDK all I know is I agree 100% with @EGP Wonder_Chef Theo vs. Jupiter ft5-10 at EVO would be amazing. Or in tournament as well.

 

[sinosleep]

KDZ is the Rodney Dangerfield of injustice, no respect.

 

[ShotgunInsanity]

Dats Jupiter right their

@EMPEROR_JUPITER

 

[JDM]

Jupiter then KDZ. Never seen such understanding of Injustice the way I did with Jupiter at Civil War this year. Just incredible.

you do realize summer jam was the middle of august and then defend the north was in the middle of january, right? you can't expect to not do anything for a half a year and still have a shot at being in the conversation for best player. reo attending two regionals and 1 major after evo speaks volumes compared to how before evo he was at a major almost every other month. his tournament showings definitely diminished and right now all he has going for him is his top 5 placement at final round which is giving him some weight.

Not to knock Jupiter or anything, but how can you possibly consider him the best when he uses MMH? It's like playing Injustice with training wheels. None of the matches MMH has is extra work, he doesn't even need fundamentals. I'm really uncomfortable with calling a MMH a top Injustice player until some serious "Normalization" hits.

Has anyone won a major with MMH besides Jupiter? Same thing was said about KDZ with pre-patch Superman and he won a major with post-patch Superman. Felt like there was a billion MMH's at SoCal Regionals and none of them made top 8. It's unfair to discredit Jupiter for his use of MMH when no one else is as dominant with MMH.

You can say the same for every other character too, difference being, every character in the game is limited. There is always a risk/reward while using any given character. People cry about Zod being OP, but on knockdown, he's a backwards snowball. It's hard to see in casual play, or even low level tournament play, but when everyone is playing their character the best you can play them, it's easy to see why MMH needs some serious calibrations. Looking at it on a leveled playing field, all of his moves are safe, he out footsies everyone, out zones everyone, AND has no bad MUs. He's the injustice equivalent to a bike with training wheels.


Edit: Tell Pig, Carl, or Rico, to seriously only main MMH and see what the results will say.

the point slayer was making is mmh is a pretty busted character. superman was busted originally and then they nerfed him but he's still viable. it's no doubt in my mind mmh would still be viable after receiving a couple nerfs - he has way too many tools not to. mmh is pretty much top tier by design. plus no one is really discrediting jupiter, most of us know he is quite possibly injustice's best player at the moment and will only get better as time passes. he just needs to nag more results to place under his belt

Do you really not see how the guy plays?

And using this logic, I guess REO can't be considered the best MK9 player cause he used kabal right? This logic is bad. The player makes the character, not the other way around. A character is only as good as the player using him.

That's why the entire top 8 isn't Martian Manhunter, and it was never top 8 Kabals. Because only the "good" players can use them effectively to place.

Going to add my 2 cents here on why I agree with Slayer.

Jupiter and REO are obviously great players, they wouldn't have done anything if they weren't, but I can't call them the best. It's like the guy using the All NBA 90's team against the Heat in 2k. Yes the Heat are great, but they aren't the 90's All NBA. If you are both of equal skill more times than not you will lose to the All NBA team because the team gives an extra boost compared to normal NBA teams matched up. Even if you are slightly more skilled you may still lose.

This was vanilla SF4 Sagat. This was pre-patch Tekken 5 Steve. This is MMH.

The only reason why you don't see "8 MMH's in the Top 8" is not because he isn't far superior to the cast, its because many people wouldn't enjoy just dropping their mains or favorite characters just for the retarded one. Many wouldnt want to be hypocrits. Many would rather win their own way. Plenty of reasons dependent on the actual individual. Nevertheless, it doesn't change the characters far superior tools.

For example, if you are losing with MMH it is much worse than if you are losing with Raven. Both are top tier characters, however the gap between MMH and anyone else is very high and will grow even more in the future. Unless you outplay your opponent from beginning to end you will lose with Raven. You can be slightly outplayed using MMH and still win your match because of the tools available.

So no, a character isn't as good as the player, they are as good as they already are made to be. If the player can play at a high level they can maximize the potential of the character. If the players are at equally high levels then a character with such an advantage over others also gives that player advantages that his opponent does not have. As Slayer stated, he virtually outfootsies nearly the entire roster, outzones everyone, can't be zoned by anyone, super safe, high damage, setups, uses little meter, etc etc etcx100.

People need to stop looking at this like its "taking shots" at people and call it out for what it really is. A fact. We should just be fortunate that everyone doesn't play with him because then you actually WOULD see 6 MMH's in Top 8's.
