how balanced is INJ really?

Sinestro most likely beats Catwoman, Hawkgirl and Lex Luthor 7:3. I guess Green Arrow and Harley can be debated.

I am not 100% sure about Bane. But I know he is broken. @GGA 16 Bit tells me so.
Hawkgirl is not a 7:3. Harley is a 5:5 or 6:4 in Sinestro's favor. As is GA. Lex is probably a 7:3. IDK enough about Catwoman to discuss that MU, but it FEELS like a 6:4.

Sinestro beats Shitters. Yay. I would have put Cyborg on the potential 7:3 list.

Discuss how 'well' Sinestro does against the top tier characters.

MMH? Losing MU
Aquaman? Losing MU
Flash? Losing MU (IMHO)
Batgirl? Even
Bane? IDK...I hate fighting this scrub character so I would have it at either Losing or Even.
Batman? Even
Killer Frost? Losing MU

Sinestro is a powerful character, but beating on the bottom feeders means nothing.

i hear often how some say its the most balanced fighter ever made and there are mostly just 6-4s and 4-6s all across the system when things are not 5-5. as the time grows on and we all get better accustomed to INJ how do you feel the balance of INJ is really? do you think its the most balanced fighter you ever played or do you think it is said prematurely by some? for me when im playing superman against some chars who are used well like mmh and zod i think the game is not "balanced" for me personally after much time of struggling vs these same problems i dont see hope in the tunnel anymore and it is just doomed fate for my hero. i think INJ could be made very blanaced with one last patch but that is all my opinion.
Yes I totally agree, I really wish and hope there is one more patch on the way. Especially for the dlc characters in particular

Sinestro is a powerful character, but beating on the bottom feeders means nothing.

Catwoman has been in the top 8 of three majors this year. That's close to a free win in the top 8 for Sinestro. At FR it would have been an extremely favorable draw for grand finals. This isn't MK where these characters have no chance of appearing in a tournament.

I am also pretty sure Killer Frost beating Sinestro is a bill of goods. He has the tools to do fine against her.

Are ya' ready for MK11 kids?!
No, just no. I liked CvS2, even though the majority of the SNK characters sucked, but that game is not balanced at all. There is so much abuseable crap that only some characters can take advantage of and the rest have no say whatsoever on the matter.
This.

Might as well have been called Street Fighter Alpha 4 ft. Kyosuke and Morrigan lol.

@Espio and @DarksydeDash When is a good time for you two? I have to go to work at 10PM EST. I can't really dedicate a fair amount of time until probably around 6PM or so.

So, unless you guys just want to run a FT5 or FT10, we might have to wait until later on in the evening. If you're up for a FT5 or FT10, we can probably do that whenever.

One Catwoman. One. I am not saying the bottom feeders do not have a chance to win. Indeed, they do. Sinestro can absolutely win a tournament if the right characters are in the top 8.

Killer Frost vs. Sinestro is a 6:4 for Frost. It certainly isn't a 7:3 MU after all of the patches.

And Harley and catwoman
I don't see why he beats Harley 7-3. Her zoning is irritating, she has a low hit box, and she can stop him from building trait. He also can't do much about cupcakes if she corners him. It's 6-4 at best. Catwoman is 7-3 however.

It's not about it being absolutely balanced, just MORE balanced than other games.

Is it more balanced than MK9, SF4AE, UMVC3, KOF, TTT2, SCV, KI? I think so.

So which game currently seeing tournament play is more balanced?
 

Justice

Warrior
We'll never know because most people aren't teching as hard as they have for other games and now that MKX has been confirmed, even less will care.

Plus on block.
I'd have to say Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is the most balanced fighter ever made.

No one sucks, no one is OP or ridiculously good(unless you count the Capos with bad connections online) , tournaments always have a pretty varied amount of characters played, and there are so many moves for so many situations, everyone has an answer for everything.

That game was 100% balanced right out of the gate.

Even the DLC characters, who were entirely free.

No re-released "balanced" version, no long list of patches, no secret OP glitches or combos, no unbalanced come-back mechanic, etc.
 
Injustice is supposed to be more balanced than mk9, but in both games it is often the few same characters that win the tournaments. Top 8 in both games have a good variation in characters.

I found that the key to MU
w Harley is get the life lead and zone. I realize sinestro doesn't do much damage when he's zoning. But getting the life lead is hell.

But oddly enough I do better with cat woman vs sinestro than harley
