how balanced is INJ really?

[Scoot Magee]

I think the game would be a little more balanced if interactables were off. I really don't see why people like playing with them on outside of it gives their character more advantage. IMO interactables just give the better characters in the game more bullshit. I'd give up a wall bounce combo if that meant I couldn't get hit with 20% unblockables any day.

one of my favorite player to watch Tyrant said hes done with INJ because of grundy which is confusing because some say he can be top 10 with those 100% reset command grab set ups. is Tyrant just not so good like he was for mk9?

Also, there are too many strings that are "throw immune" that are abused when WC is used. Once players learned that match up, it was shown Grundy is low low tier

 

[RexyWrecks]

I'm glad you made this thread. People on this forum are in denial. The game is not balanced.

 

[GGA Max]

It is more balanced than MK9. (not sure how it compares to other fighters, but LBSH, our top 8's are usually very unpredictable character -wise)

Possibly because there are so many variables, gimmicks, and MU knowledge, people can not master it all plus their own character's gimmicks.

For most characters, you have to play the other character's game significantly more than mk9. IMO the main exception to this is Aquaman.

I say it is one of the most balanced fighters out there at the moment, in my opinion. I come from a SSBM and SFIV background. I don't compare Injustice's balance to MK9's because I never played MK9. I believe most of the flack that Injustice gets is mostly directed towards some of the DLC characters. Which makes sense since the players did not get to flesh these characters out as much as the disk characters.

Hell if ares can win..... balanced

No archive, so it never happened bro

Serious question, could you record you and Astro doing the Ares vs Frost and the other mus as part of the Ares FT20s?

 

[cR WoundCowboy]

In order, the most winning 7:3 match ups (or better).

1. Martian Manhunter
2. Aquaman
3. Zod
4. Sinestro
5. Bane

Out of curiosity, who does Sinestro and Bane 7-3?

Grundy being top 10 is a bill of goods.

I think to the OP's original question it's because while the shitter characters are losing a lot of mus there are a lot of mus they only lose 4-6, with a couple 3-7s sprinkled in, as opposed to everybody in the bottom half getting 7-3'd by the top 5 to 10 characters. Just my perspective though

 

[Fromundaman]

only reason people think Injustice is balanced is because MK9 was their only other fighting game

Smash (Any of them), MVC (Any of them), SC (Any of them except II), SF (Any of them except IV)...
There are a lot of badly balanced, but very popular fighting games.
When compared to the other popular fighting games, while definitely not perfect, this game is actually pretty well balanced (Although maybe not to the extent that I am told SFIV is).

I can say that SSFIV AE was not balanced at all. Can't say anything about Ultra since that just released but I can honestly say from my experience that Injustice is the most balanced fighter I've played. It's not perfect, but I'm not sure any fighter ever has been.

Word. I didn't even play MK9, I come from a Smash/SF4 background. Not all of us come from an MK background.

I'm for no interactibles myself because I like pure matches, but this...this is a short sighted view IMO. Without those tools to mitigate so many characters from staying on offense you would see the tier list gaps widen considerably. With no tools to make people more careful in going in or throwing full screen barrages at you their would be quite a lot of characters going crazy in matches and quite a few who could no longer find the opportunities they used to in order to start their offense. Some folks would just have to work way harder for openings.

I think this is so unbelievably false.

The characters that get destroyed by interactables really have no solace in other interactables to help them...because they are not power characters and can't hurl them across the screen or get guaranteed unblockable OTG setups.

Sinestro 7-3s Hawkgirl and Lex

And Harley and catwoman

Some people just don't get it...

why do you say injustice is more balanced than AE? im no expert on it but it seems pretty balanced

I keep seeing this get said and it is completely wrong.
Multiple gadget characters have car bomb infinite loops.
Striker's Island cell block, HoJ, Ferris, (Arguably) Atlantis, and Gotham all help gadget characters. Other stages like Watchtower, Wayne Manor Batcave, and Luthor's Lab give pretty much the same advantages to all characters.

Also I know some of the gadget/acro characters can most definitely combo into interactibles, such as Batgirl, Harley, Joker, Frost, GA, etc.

On top of that BGB's play a huge roll for a good portion of the cast regardless of interactible type.


That said, acrobatic characters did get unquestionably shafted.

This game is balanced. The aquaman vs arrow mu is definitely winnable for both. @Syknis

[DarksydeDash]

The only thing I can say is unbalanced is the ranking system. xD I body so many people in ranked cause they mostly suck. Seriously.. I have a 47 win streak in that thing the competition sucks! Of course every once in a while I've run into Lord Decay, Wound Cowboy, Dab, or Foreverking but its very rare.
