Does anyone else experience the game not recognizing MB inputs? I'm even in training mode and the game recognizes that I hit the correct button but still does not give me my meter burn. I'll even have my Stick on Rapid Fire and it will register a ton of inputs of the button and MB still won't come out. How do I have this not happen? If its unavoidable on occasion then it should be PATCHED...and yes I have enough meter. The move I've been experiencing this with the most is Green Lantern's "Lantern's Might"

i dont know. i feel like it is user execution error. but sometimes i think a blocking error is present. but again i feel it is probably execution.

I've noticed that with Batgirl, you can only Meter Burn the Bola if you press the meter button. It does not work if you press 1+2+3. Not sure if it's a glitch or intended though...

I can go into training and do raw "Lantern's Mights" with Green Lantern and like 30% of the time MB won't work EVEN IF RAPID FIRE is ON and I'm holding the button! So execution can't be part of it in that situation! I've seen Casuals where the other person is mashing the button and MB still doesn't come out for other characters too! BTW what is a blocking error?

it feel to me like somehow my block was not registering when i was simply holding down or back or whatsver it was at the time. im sure i blocked multiple hits correctly and i did not attempt counter attack, i just ate these hits. im sure i blocked the right hit level. maybe a problem with my stick

Meter burn won't come out if you double tap the input; e.g. Lantern's Might MB won't come out if you press db11 MB

Meter burn only works if you press it once. If you mash it and press multiple times the meter burn wont register. With sanwas this can become troublesome but you must train yourself to only hit the button once.
 
If you input any extra button presses after inputting the special with exceptions like Bane's trait, you cannot meterburn it. Same goes for cancelling into specials, MB bounce cancels, traits, and interactables. If you input a string/normal and hit an extra button (including throw, stance switch, interactable, and meter burn) before inputting the cancel, it won't work.

Yeah that's not true, if it were then I would NEVER be able to get MB off Rapid fire and MOST of the time I do, but not ALL the time. You can experiment for yourself in training mode and notice that it WILL still work. So that would not be the reason for MB input drops... Wasn't there some INPUT GLITCH in MK? Did that carry over into this game too? I LOVE this game but it just can't have a glitch like that and survive long in Tournament Play! ALSO it's not an issue of me mashing the input for the special either, I only hit that once.

No, your problem is that you are mashing your special move. There is no input bug in injustice. If you hit you special button even twice, it won't come out.

This, and also some special moves you can just hold the mb button and itll come out and some have to be hit on time. atleast thats what ive seen

There seems to be a small beat between inputing the move and then taping MB to enhance it. Kind of a time sensitive thing, instead of hitting MB with your last button, kinda pause and tap it when the attack animation starts. Almost like an afterthought to enhance the special. At least, that's how I think of it. Hope it helps :)

Actually that's not my problem because I've tested it with holding the input down WITHOUT RAPID FIRE and with hitting it only once WITHOUT RAPID FIRE with timing and it still drops the MB on occasion in training. Have you tested it yourself too in training or are you just saying this? I'm TESTING this and this is what is happening I'm not just always mashing it I'm testing the input in different ways and I'm experiencing drops despite the input method, though I experience the drop more when Rapid fire is enabled. BTW I'm playing only on Xbox so I'm not sure if that makes a difference. PUT IT TO THE TEST and tell me it doesn't happen in training after trying a few dozen times, then maybe we can start to see what's going on here...maybe its just for certain moves for certain characters? You try GL's Lift and test that and tell me you got it every single time for at least 50 tries or something.

Wait, you're rapid firing your meter burn and it's dropping? No kidding! Have you tired timing it? Maybe it's your controller.

Yeah, I've had it happen with scorpion's MB spear sometimes even when I press square once. I think it's character specific though, I haven't had it happen with anyone else.

I am absolutely convinced that this is a problem. For instance, when I do a combo with a MB sky grapple with Batman and then try to do a straight grapple in the same combo it will NEVER come out. Also if you do straight grapple MB and then dont attack and try it again, it seems to NEVER come out. It is almost as if the dizzying animation of the straight grapple needs to reset before you can attempt to do it again. I have never been able to put two MB grapple moves in the same combo. I can do MB grapple and then MB bats or anything else, but never two of the same MB specials back-to-back.

thats cuz you cant do mb grapples back to back. only in the demo

If you press an attack input after getting the special to come out, MBs will not work. It's weird...I noticed it when I learned that you can mash the attack input after doing the directions in a special to make it easier to get wakeup attacks.
