I played injustice despite not liking it because i simply want to be part of the community. I dont think its that hard to understand.
I'm not everyone all at once, so I'm only talking about myself: all I know is that I wouldn't play a game despite not enjoying it.
A game is something you do in your free time, I got several options to do in my free time, why would I ever choose the one I do not enjoy?

Playing Injustice because everyone else was playing it :oops:. Now that online's nearly dead, really hard to play the game for people who don't have access to offline. If I could play offline I would like and still play the game.

What a day. What a lovely day.
Just because these alleged top tourney players DON'T choose CW, Joker, Shazam etc., does not mean those characters aren't viable...
My point, is that at this same time in 2011 people were claiming how balanced MK was as well. I personally don't see how INJ is soooooo balanced.

All I hear is, "Well everyone has dirt, so it's balanced." Ok? In MK everyone had dirt too, but it wasn't as exaggerated so people tend to forget about it.

Well...I understand your point and perspective...however I personally believe Injustice is leaps and bounds ahead of MK9 in terms of balance. Look, if people find the game boring or flat out dislike playing it...that's fine. That's not my issue. I find it ironic when people go out of there way to trash the game and insinuate the game is broken...or even remotely lumping IGAU in with MK9. I don't believe this game has a Kabal or Kenshi...

Do I believe the game is perfect? No.

Do I believe it is completely, 100 percent balanced? No.

Do I believe every character has a chance based on character tools (unlike a handful of characters in MK9)? Yes.

And btw...LOL at people suggesting Catwoman needs help. She is a fantastic character that simply requires a ton of patience.
 
I see a very common trend here. It's mostly players who have a character who is regarded as low tier (and may have to work a little) that are so thrilled for KI or whatever. Nightwing players who just went gaga over the game now are suddenly trashing the game? Lol okay. I think the TRUE reason people dislike IGAU is because it requires severe patience and the ability to make reads, fast reads, and has a lot of mind games. THUS favoring smart humans.

-KI looks great. I hope it does well. This does not mean DROP INJUSTICE. (just because it's new does not mean you will suddenly find success)
-Just like the topic creator, if you don't like IGAU you then must drop it and support the new game...for which we know nothing about.
-IGAU is very balanced. Everyone has dirt...just because we haven't seen representatives of certain characters succeed doesn't mean CW or Joker or Shazam or Hawkgirl can't succeed. In fact, they do just fine.
-This thread is simply pathetic...
-If you truly don't like IGAU...then leave. Stop posting in the forums...stop trashing the game...just move on. I'm very pro-IGAU, but you will never see me posting in a KI thread "Like..omg...this game sucks....it's trash...why are you guys playing this??????" It's basic psychology people.
got to disagree with you about why ppl don't like IGAU lol. Me and My bro will keep playing it for sure, but we are just more interested/ connected to the characters in MK9 than we are to DC heroes/villains. It isn't because we aren't smart enough to play it lol, that is kind of an extreme thought. Just my opinion, personally I don't see why everyone can't just play/watch all games and be a true Fighting Game fan. I watch marvel streams, sf streams, IGAU streams, mk streams, tekken streams, etc. you get the point, the FGC is very separated, which won't help it grow like it should.

It was a generalized opinion/theory. Of course it doesn't apply to everyone such as you and your brother...

Was on a mission to find a secondary, tried Catwoman, had trouble, went to TYM, read EVERYTHING, watched many videos, practiced more, went online, cried a lot.
I would love to discuss with you about Catwoman's tools, because she's such a fun character, I just... agree with the other guy saying she has many holes in her game.

it's balanced because the gap between tiers is a lot smaller

yeah. there's shit MUs. so what? that exists in literally every fighting game, shitty match-ups where one character is just fucked.

i don't think any character got heavy nerfs like they did in MK (Kano, Sub-Zero, Jade or indirect nerfs to Rain and the like) so it's not really a valid comparison based on the merit of the patches

I know, I was just saying that ppl seriously need to stop trashing other games, I understand when people are joking, but other times people are trying to drive a game into the ground. This is one big issue with the FGC overall, we can't just play our games, always got to trash something. I find marvel ridiculous at times, but I dnt go into streams trashing it lol.

And this is exactly my argument. As I said before, KI looks great. No need to trash Injustice...which a ton of people are now doing. I'm not referring to people who prefer one over the other...I'm referring to the people who feel the need to go out of their way to trash a game... ;)
 
EMPEROR_THEO, great post, that is exactly what needs to be done. Stop trashing games and just go to the next game. The beginning of 2013 was very cool for TYM with scr and what not, once IGAU came out, this site hit the fan literally lol. Can we make more threads releasing tech and strategies?

I've been playing INJ a lot lately, I love the characters and if that was directed at me, it's not my MO to attempt to prove how broken INJ is or whatever. However, it appears that the INJ community is incredibly intent on making MK look atrocious.

I personally don't see how Black Adam and Superman winning everything under the sun is different than what Kabal or Kenshi did, but I guess Aquaman (Jax) and Batman (Smoke) have been winning too. It's awesome see how passionate INJ enthusiasts are, but a lot of the people are part of the same community that got Jade's U+3 nerfed. So, forgive me if I take everyone's claims of balance with a grain of salt.

This thread literally reminds me of those people who go on dates with someone new and spend half the time talking about their ex lol.

Why not discuss the actual game of Killer Instinct? There's awesome threads like Sajam's worth checking out with useful strategies and info.
i think its because people like bitching about fighting games more than they actually like playing them

None of my statements have ever been aimed at you.

Also, I come from MK9. I am an MK purist (meaning MK is my all time favorite fighting game franchise) and quite honestly I disliked Inj at the very beginning. Then I realized that I was trying to make Injustice into MK...learned how to block...dealt with the interactables....etc., etc., and now really enjoy the game. I am a very objective person irl and I simply feel that Injustice is a better "fighter" than MK9. Just my opinion and perception.
 

astronout

see you at the top.
Debate all you want, but she is balanced you are just obviously not exploring enough with her. The cat dash isn't going to cut the mustard with playing rush down not to mention she isn't a rush down character either. She requires a large degree of patience when facing an opponent, you shouldn't expect to be able rely on cat dash.

-EDIT- She also much more tools to get her in besides Cat Dash and she has one of the smallest hit boxes as well.

astronout: please take over you played CW much longer than I have...
Ra Helios is right. compare her to the likes of actual rushdown characters, ie johnny cage or sonya, and there is no comparison to be made.
