Is it too easy to zone in Injustice?

[NoobHunter420]

I been playing injustice since release day, this is the first fighting I ever play. I'm loving injustice, but it seems to me that zoning is too easy. I'm able to zone people of my same skill level quite easily with certain characters. I started to watch some MK9 matches and I realized that zoning was totally different in that game. I saw some Kitana Vs Cage matches, they weren't like in injustice where superman chips half of your health before you get to him. Kitana had to stay in her feet, constantly chaging sides with the air fan. From my point of view that seemed like something that took a lot of skill. I am starting to see the beauty of zoning, but that's not because of injustice. I want to hear what people with more experience with fighting games have to say.

It's pretty balanced.

• Rush-down offers huge combo damage potential, but requires work to get in. Pushblock also kicks you back out.
• Zoning requires much less effort, but requires good reads to do effectively and results in pretty small chip damage.

I guess the argument could be made for a "zoning pushblock" that gets you IN for 2 bars of meter. That might satisfy many casual players, while also giving m2dave an aneurism.

I think zoning is more encouraged in Injustice because of how far the game lets the players separate and how slow you walk. It also doesn't help that you can't block immediately after dashing.

I feel it's balanced.

I feel the same, Looks like NRS wants to make the game more rush down oriented. all DLC with the exception of lobo have great tools to fight zoners.

I think the Game is Balanced. Before the Dlc there was a lot of Zoners, but when the dlc characters have arrived the zone game was and is a risk to do, yo can get punish hard for zoning. Not to metion the Hate mail anyone will get for zoning, so the game at this point i think is balanced.

Zoning has been ass in this game for months vs. damn near anyone but Lobo and Grundy.
