REO
Undead
I see certain respectable players posting in threads saying MK9 is more balanced than Injustice. Is this some kind of sick joke? You're telling me that a game that is dominated by one character who shuts down the entire cast (except for maybe two who can actually fight him) is a more balanced game than Injustice? MK9 is nothing more than a Kabal fest. Kabal has more major tournament wins than half of cast has appeared in top eight. Almost every top player who has won a major uses Kabal as a primary or secondary character in the past year.
And please spare me from the talk of "but REO, look how diverse MK9 top eights are". It doesn't matter because if our community was bigger and full of players that wanted nothing more than to win, top eights would be full of Kabal's around my level or higher, and there would be barely any character diversity. How hype would the game look then, seeing Kabal players run through all these 9-1, 8-2, and 7-3 match-ups? Only Kenshi and Kung Lao players would be able to put up a fight. And do not get me started on how imbalanced and preposterous characters like Kenshi were for 90% of the cast.
The days of 9-1 match-ups are over with Injustice. IMO, the worst match-ups I've seen or experience in this game tend to be 3-7 because characters are given more tools to work with. There are bottom tier characters, sure, but at least they have better chance than half of the cast in MK9 ever will. I don't want to hear this delusional talk about how MK9 is just as balanced or more so than Injustice just because your character choice this time is not top tier.
Aside from the upgrade in balance, what about the riddance of game-changing glitches? Do you guys remember losing matches because of a meter drain glitch? Imagine what could have happened if your special move actually came out when you input it? Would you have won the game? How many times has this run across your mind during a tournament match? Ridiculous glitches like this are not present in Injustice.
