Dude they're there to win. Not entertain you at home on a stream, and I hate the word "spam", so I'm not even going to address that point. Haven't watched it yet, but I bet you can expect people to "spam" specials and "spam" combos, when Injustice: Gods Among Us releases, even at high level play. Smh!
There's more to fighting game than flashy combos and not blocking. Also you can't expect people to pop out fancy tech and combos on something 99% of the world hasn't even played.
That's the problem, you haven't watched it, so you don't really know what you're talking about. I know what you mean, I hate the term spam projectiles myself, WHEN people use it to refer to zoning. If you had watched it, you'd know. And this isn't a tournament they're not there to win, they're there to showcase the game, so yeah they
are there to entertain me. They were mindlessly (and this is the real problem here) launching specials, and doing stupid crap all day long... I mean, they had a full hour, couldn't they go on the move list and try on some stuff? And see what the launchers were, and try to play it with just a lil wee bit of strategy?
Seriously, when I play a new fighting game, I try to string some normals, and cancel them into specials or something f***ing elementary and basic that ANY player should know how to do. This was horrible.
