What "normal" gaming enthusiasts think of injustice EVO finals

NightwingDayZero

Truth, justice and the American way.
First of all, CD Jr. played horrendously. Second of all, Superman beats Deathstroke.

Slips lost to AK Harold's Flash, I believe. I cannot blame him for losing a 7:3 match though.

Nobody has done anything with Deathstroke at CEO or Evolution. This character is laughably overrated.
So we just make excuses for other players and dismiss Aris as having done "nothing" with the character? Since when did Top 16 become nothing?

Dunno about which Greek players you are talking about, so i ll just leave that subject. I havent played against NW with the latest patch so you could be right. My point was pre-patch NW who was fucked up. I dont wanna reach the point to counter-pick just to win against NW man. Pre-patch NW won easily against DD. The problem wasnt his staff pound, it was his d1 spamming fest. DD's trait wasnt helping him at all and in general after the d1 spamming you had to worry about 6 options NW had after 4 d1's and DD didnt have almost any answer about them.
MB shoulder charge is +9. This gets you past anything NW can throw out in staff and is likely to set you up for body splash options on wakeup.

DD walks all over NW with little to no risk both pre patch and especially post patch.

If you're losing to NW it's because you rely on d1 earthshake entirely too much. Did you really think people wouldn't learn how to block it after 3 months?

Aris is the best and highest placing Deathstroke player at the moment. I am giving credit to the player but not to the character, which makes you Deathstroke fan boys angry for whatever reason.

"These guys are pathetic excuses for "gamers". To be good at a video game, you actually have to have skill. These lames just stand across the screen and mash buttons. Oh, you are SO good. EVO is the world championship? Give me a break. Learn how to actually PLAY THE GAME before going to a tournament. I would body ALL of these so called "tournament" players. I body that free idiot Nightmare SF every day online. He's nothing but a j2 and bats spammer. He can't handle my scorpion. He's super free just like these guys."

I'm losing hope for these casuals. I wish they would stick to simple games like CoD and leave fighting games for people with knowledge.

Aris hasn't practiced since the buffs to wakeups.

I'll acknowledge that Deathstroke should NOT have been nerfed, but to say the character is incapable of making Top 16 is just wrong.

I never said Deathstroke was incapable of making top 16. I only stated that he was the most "normalized" character in this game.

Its not like deathstroke only got nerfs, he also got somethin in return, so the character doesnt have to revolve completely around 1 move.
What he received in return did not compensate for what he lost.

Trust me, i am perhaps the only DD out there who mix up his ES with other strings as well. Tell me then how does DD walks all over NW.

And btw MB Venom is not +9f on block. Its +6f and even that is not entirely correct. The true frames are probably +3 or +4f on block. Believe what you like but plz stop down playing NW.

I think NW dominates DD. d1 for days.

Yeah, Injustice wasn't hype for the top 8 at EVO. But the pools were very hype and entertaining, and every other tournament has been hype and entertaining. The top 8 was just 90% boring characters and super lame play, just happens sometimes.

for how long? what frametrap follows a meter costing charge exactly?

yo guys, superman isnt s tier with f23, just super with infite meter.
Follow up with 3 3 frame traps in the corner.

I'll ignore the condescending sarcasm if you're willing to continue an honest discussion.

just getting fed up on the misinformation going around.

so how will dd magically get you in the corner when he can only get in via mb charge which costs meter?

do you know how many frames 33s startup is? over 15

I consider myself a casual gamer, but even I see why those comments are stupid. I play for fun, but I try to get better with one or two characters and play around with a bunch of others.

So you have to get in honestly at some point, like every other member of the cast. So many of Doomsday's combos and specials work to punish opponents into the corner. Where you just need to earthshake > dash > earthshake > dash to reverse wakeup inputs and apply free pressure.

Excuse me for not naming the correct frame trap. Can I just say (insert Doomsday corner frame trap here)? I'm fairly certain 3 3 loops repeatedly in the corner, but I may be wrong.

none of doomsdays frametraps work after venom except d1, after which his pressures over

d1 rapes doomsdays trait and doomsday in general

33 does not loop

nw zones and builds meter fast in general, if you pushblock ex venom its ggs, only way dd is building meter is via getting blown up
honestly, from a month of talking to rico on xbl i havent heard of an occasion where hed ever pick doomsday or know anything about him
