My first impressions of the Injustice DEMO

[Pig Of The Hut]

Dashing is meant to close the gap in this game much like sf4. Once you get within footsie range is where the mind games come in. Jump? Dash? Walk? Special move? Normal? Its all up in the air at that point and you have to feel your opponent out. If your mindlessly dashing yea your gonna get blown up.

Movement and footsies work differently in this game. Show some patience and use your reactions. Everyone needs to forget MK9 dash blocking and realize spacing. You can't cover your dashing with block like MK9.

Lex j3 is all u need

This. MK9 players have virtually no sense of footsies.

No kidding

And this community questioned if me a Kenshi player had fundamentals?????

GTFO here MKC lol, and learn footsies

Even though the walk speed is slow you can walk up if you have the opponent occupied looking for something else like a character specific normal/special with range, a jump in or dash up d+1/d+3. You actually can cancel a dash late into it so you can dash up and block and blow up their attempt to blow you up for dashing. Then when you've conditioned them to do nothing you can walk up.

Movement is going to be different for those of us who played MK. Calm down and try things out.

We know that people will over react to things while a game is new, happened in MK9 so this is no surprise.

The movement is fine, you just have to figure out when it's safe to dash.

Like if you're facing batman head on and dash, you might get hit with batarangs, but if you wait and block a batarang, you will have time to get a free dash aftwerwards.

I'm not over reacting and I'm calm. Just simply reacting to the demo. I've played a lot of fighting games and the mobility in this game is a lot different than really any game I've played. Not a bad thing, I just prefer fighters that are more responsive and less sluggish feeling. To me, it feels like the characters are dragging weight behind them, but like I said, this is the demo and I have had very little experience with the game.

It's the sole reason I played Raiden. Footsies all day. Like... one of the only characters that required them from his user or opponent.

It isn't their fault though. Footsies generally aren't part of the MK metagame. The game is played in the space that's right in your opponents face or a full-screen away. Just the way it is.

This game is more in line with the rest of the genre. Which is a good thing. More people playing.

And really, I didn't feel like the characters were that slow. But maybe I was just slightly happy because I was personally a little paranoid that this game would tilt more towards something like Guilty Gear or BlazBlue in terms of speed, and I didn't really want that.

Demo or not you're playing what the game will be

Took a few hours to get used to the game since the only fighters I play are MK and Tekken and I expected the game to be a button mashing fest where you can get away with throwing shit out there without thinking too much ( I am a defensive minded player and hate this), but the movement, spacing and punishment opportunities on good reads and reactions are definitely there and you will not get away with flowchart autopiloting anything in the final game I assume. All characters having aerial moves and mix-ups and no teleports will make this game sooo much fun. I am not a big fan of armour, but now that all characters have it it will be completely fair.
