Two questions. What do you think of a block button and the amount of chip damage projectiles do?

[TheTHCGamer]

I wanted to ask everyone these two questions but instead of making two topics im sure we i can get some responese in one. Would you prefer the option of having a block button in Injustice and im noticing chip damage is pretty strong from projectiles in this game compared to other fighting games so what are your thoughts on that? I feel its a lot harder to make projectile oriented characters come after you with a decent life lead if they can just chip away at you.

Then again maybe those characters that have projectile characters do need that chip damage from projecitles. Not many fighting games that i know of have block buttons but one of my personal favorites does (VF5FS) so for me im use too it. I cant help but wonder if id prefer using one in Injustice however i dont know if that would possibly cause problems with how the game plays. On a side note some of my friends that play VF and players with VF gamer pics (who obviously enjoy VF) that ive run into online are really enjoying this game.

Anyway thanks ahead of time for any responses.

Projectiles do entirely to much chip. One of the best ways to beat zoners is get the life lead and make them come to you. Not in this game just keep spamming 3-8% on block.

I think the block button is nice. Although I am an MK player almost exclusively. I also play Soul Calibur and they have a block button. So I wouldn't mind one. I am getting used to back to block though. So I don't really care. I also got used to back to block in Tekken.

Chip damage from projectiles is about the same as MK9 from what I can tell. I don't think that is a bad thing. I am probably just used to it though. :16Bit

Naw man, BA and Shazam do crazy good chip damage on their projectiles/low lightning meter burned. I mean you might as well be getting hit by the stuff.

Shazam has like one projectile that is super easy to avoid. I agree on Black Adam though. It gives me shivers. :16Bit

I'll give you that, but it doesn't change its damage on chip. Shazam's projectile I mean.

Chip damage on projectiles needs to be lowered by 50-75%. Chip damage should not be legit offense like it is. Getting a life lead on a zoner should give you a big advantage by forcing them in.

wah wah wah, If I'm not taking your life from fullscreen for free, the game is trash

No one gives a shit about your scrub DS bs. His projectiles don't even do that much on block. But really, are there any other characters that have super powerful projectiles on block?

Why because we cant have a intellectual debate about these subjects? I dont see anyone stating things like chip damage for projectiles is so cheap and not giving a reason at all. I also dont see the problem with asking if people wouldve preferred a block button and how a block button might affect this game. Lol no ones freaking out saying NERF IT NOW so yea i dont see the harm. I guess some people are so hardcore that we cant even that we cant even get some insight about certain aspects of the game. Damn i guess that Lobo release is making people feel more badass then usual.

Uh DS can do 8% on mb 3.somehing normal. Superman also does retarded chip. So does black adam.lex has to feel like an asshole seeing all these projectiles doing more chip than his do on hit.

That was pretty funny. :16Bit
I wish that if people didn't want to contribute to a thread... they would just move on and contribute to a thread they actually care about. Wishful thinking.

Add a block button in this game = death of characters that NEED crossups to open people (such as Hawkgirl). I'm definitely against this idea, it's not like crossups aren't unblockable, just really ambiguous in some cases.

Damn 8%? I was not aware. That's fucking ridiculous.

8% on MB isn't so bad. Especially since if you block low it wont connect. :16Bit

See i dont know if thats every character or certain characters though that do lots of damage with projectile chip. On top of that would you really want to nerf all projectile chip damage or those certain projectile attacks that you feel to much damage? I agree you though one of the ways you should be able to beat zoners is to get that life lead.

What about low shots?

What are you talking about im talking about his low guns. 8% for anything on block is completely retarded.

 

[MorbidAltruism]

I thought you were talking about his high guns... either way. I think you can still jump low guns. 8% at the cost of meter isn't so bad especially considering that DS is a ZONER. :16Bit

All projectiles on block should do what lexs do. No projectile eter burned or not should exceed say 4% imo. I thinks its hilarious chip damage is a legitimate offensive tactic even if you are losing.

Who blocks high versus Deathstroke unless they are complete noobs?

Simple and to the point thank you. Lots of us including myself use crossups in this game and that block button would eliminate that option. I knew there was a reason that block button wasnt in the game.

Yeah. I forgot about the crossups. :16Bit

Damn bro, don't bite my head off. I always duck vs. dick stroke. I didn't quite understand what the person was saying about 8% mb 3 (whatever the hell that means) and so I wanted some clarity.

Projectiles are overrated in this game.

The best one is Cyborg's instant aerial fireball.

Then the second and third best ones are probably Deathstroke's low gun shots followed by Superman's aerial heat vision and Sinestro's fear blast.
