I am fairly new to this community and Injustice is the first non Capcom fighting game that I enjoy playing so I want to see this game thrive and get hyped for EVO 2014 and I just want to share my thoughts about Injustice while I was watching 2013. I do agree that a part of why there wasn't much hype for the top 8 finals is I feel like the pros do need more time for this game and I am actually really looking forward to next year to see more tech and leveling up, but I think Injustices other problem (when it comes to watching the game not playing) is there really isn't a hype mechanic in the game. Example would be MvC3 has the X factor and I am a firm believer as to why this game gets so hyped. There is nothing else like watching someone down to their last guy and pop X factor kill the two guys on their team and now its down to an even match. SF4 has the ultra combo system etc. These are the kinds of hype we see at EVO is comebacks. The other is the crazy combos. Injustice has a nice combo system I think, but when someone is in the middle of doing a nice combo here comes a clash. I really felt like most the time the clash really kills the hype of a match then create one while I was watching Injustice at EVO, and rarely did I feel like someone clashed then worked their way to a big comeback.
Not saying the clash system is bad, in fact, I think it brings strategy into the game, but I think when it comes to spectacles I don't think it's helping much. Who knows maybe its because this game is new and next years EVO the clash system may make some really nice comebacks. I think this game is really really fun, and I enjoy playing it a lot and I really hope to see this game grow. End of my 2 cents.
