The absolute RIDICULOUSNESS of tournament settings now...

[Pan1cMode]

this has nothing to do with stages anymore because you can b3MB or backdash attacks on any stage. and the block traps are nothing specific just most strings~interactable button. just need to space it right.

But I'm saying it is relevant because batgirl has all this unavoidable dirt on Ferris while she shuts down everyone else's interactable game there.

 

[kabelfritz]

then better not let her touch an interactable. if you see the BG player is hot for interactables, you know you have a free attack once shes close to one.

But unless you're scorpion, batgirl or MMH, you can't stop her from using the interactables. The start up is too quick and leads to traps.

Also, the reckless play to prevent her from using interactables just gets you punished.


Look, all I'm saying is that stages are too polarising to have every match be a 50/50. I don't think someone should be able to pick a stage on which they have already won in the same set. If you can't beat your opponent unless you get your one specific stage then you really don't deserve to win.

why not? some good zoning should do the job, and most chars can do that. no need to play reckless. and those which cant zone have other means to get around it (like grundy triple armor, and im sure armored cat dash can go through the interactable and evade the tele at the same time).

i get it but i dont think so. but thats a matter of opinions i guess. in the end this wont be decided by my or your opinion alone.

True enough I guess.

colt we really need a random stage button, why we don't have one right now is ridiculous.

 

[BDMao88]

FT3, Random 50/50 EVERY TIME and loser can ONLY change character.

You can see the first stage, so you can essentially counter pick your first match.

 

[SAREDODEVIL]

3-5

 

[YOMI MITYEAP]

I say 3/5 the whole way and random every stage every match, but allow the loser to counterpick characters of course.

 

[astronout]

Unfortunately, we plebeians are never gonna come to a full consensus on this issue. Although most agree that sets should be determined by a FT3, rules regarding stage picking are still as arbitrary as ever. I for one believe that if a character change would essentially be a counterpick for the opponents character, why wouldn't the same apportion be given to a stage change which would accomplish the same end?

FT3, loser picks stage (the same format implemented by Mortal Kombat 9 at MLG) gets my vote.

 

[Dizzy]

It should be random stage, but won't be for various reasons.

 

[TheSpore]

Tom why don't you make a poll for this. I personally prefer 3/5 the matches run to quickly IMO and stage select I'm still trying to figure that out.

 

[Duck Nation]

KDZ

Since he runs 8otb, but has also been very much against switching to 3/5. Who else is still using the 2/3 rule?

 

[Derocus]

I think you're overreacting. A lot. Like. Stop being a whiney little bitch and just play. It's a fighting game.

 

[ArmageddonUMK]

For stage have p2 press A to show their random stage. Then 50/50 between p1 and p2's "random" stages. This prevents players from choosing characters based seeing p1's random stage in the character select screen

 

[1man3letters]

False, that will not select the other levels of the stage, only the first level. P1 random gives you random stage, random level.

brady if you 50/50 the stage p2 icon slects is solves this issue
so p2 still legit

 

[NightwingDayZero]

As someone who has only been playing fighting games from the time of injustice's release, spending $800 to travel 50 states away to compete at a major only to play 2/3 with Chris G and PL is an undertaking few people feel comfortable with.

Majors typically last Friday Saturday Suday. If time constraints are such a big fucking problem, why has Injustice only been Saturday/Sunday at EVERY major thusfar? Give us pools on Friday like Marvel and 3/5 won't be such an issue.

 

[Lord Beef]

3/5

random first stage

Loser can pick character or stage.


Now, this begs the question, why don't we use stages in which intractables don't favor either type of character? like watchtower, atlantis, fortress etc etc? I know it would be tough to get a system down to pick the first stage...but I mean...we had rock paper scissors to choose player side in MK so I guess crazier things have happened.....

 

[Darth Mao]

Here in Brazil the pattern is 3/5, first stage random then random 50/50 between both players. Loser can select character.

Wait, a scene exists here in Brasil? Where are you people?!

How about this...

1. Get a hat for every station.
2. Write down the names of every stage/all of their different levels.
3. Place stage names in said hat.
4. Pick a new stage out of the hat for every match.
5. When out of stage, shuffle papers, and refill the hat.
6. Repeat.

As random and fair as you can get.
It sounds goofy, but I'm completely serious.
How much more random can the choice be?

 

[Flagg]

Best 3/5, random stage select, loser gets to pick a different character.

This stage select thing is just a joke, perpetuated by Kabal players.

And for Gods sake, just flip a coin to decide who gets P1 side instead of that rock/paper/scissors childish nonsense.

Starting at next month's edition of my Indianapolis area's monthly event called "Godlike Sundays", Injustice will be running Best 3/5 for all matches except for grand finals (which will be Best 4/7).
