A reflection. . .

Nonetheless, it's apparently systematically possible to use 3 characters in a top 8 if you only play 1 match in it

The list of characters is the list of characters people played in the tourney, meaning that that's what it took for them to make it as far as they did.

I get what you're saying, but you're making very hear-say generalizations.

What most people don't realize though, is that Injustice has 2 big components of the audience:

1) People who are playing it because they played MK and Injustice was the next game by the same company
2) People who didn't play or care about MK, but like DC comics or found Injustice appealing because it's a cool game and has crossups and other such mechanics

I think that no matter what, some people will only like Injustice, some people will only like MK, and some people will like both. But we can't act like it's all the same group of people and they will all jump ship no matter what.

I thought the same at one time. Then I realized the majority of people attending tournaments for Injustice also attended for MK9. More people are gonna jump ship than you think.

All those Kabal players were trying to stay the fuck away from Cyrax, what grand finals were you watching?

So Kabal players didn't do any NDC's against Cyrax?

Can't tell if this is an MK compilation video or a highlight of Tyrant's best moments... I guess they're both one and the same.

Whenever you post I read it in Bryan's voice lol. Or sometimes in Stewie's annoying Cool hwip voice

(Reserved for DJT punishing an NDC with a full combo GIF)

Point being, it's not really a talking point as to why the matchup is difficult for Cyrax.

If he ever gets on a podcast I hope he opens up with "it's been a hwile in the making". Lol

Also, so what if Cyrax can punish it? Cyrax is ridiculous too. Doesn't mean Kabal isn't. They're both ridiculous, which is exactly my point. Evo 2013 was two characters that were emblematic of everything wrong with the game.

Why are you putting so much emphasis on the "H"?

Because it's not what makes the matchup bad or how the majority of the set went? Those are 13 frame normals that create a frame trap that's +2 on block, and chances of making that 1/30th of a second count every time isn't absolute, he was inherently designed with the yomi of when he's going to let rip, if he didn't have that, his upclose game would be pringles. Not to mention DJT himself plays a relatively diluted Cyrax, (has anyone ever seen him use a breaker trap or an unbreakable setup?). I'm not saying it's justified, I still think he's the best character in the game, but I don't think he would've gotten away with as much if everyone had universal training resources. Imagine people trying to combat MMH's sweep distance shenanigans with MK9's training mode, it'd be a blowout by now. You're looking at far too semantically as opposed to what really happened. Part of admittedly was probably because REO wasn't ready for a Cyrax player with DJT's attributes.

I have no idea hwo you're talking about.
