Injustice is not balanced, this is bullshit. In mk9 kabal took a lot of execution and skill. In Injustice, anybody can pick up Super-Man and be good, his zoning is braindead easy and the character is braindead easy. This is the reason Supes has won the most majors so far and will continue.

In mk9, reo was the only person who won majors consistently with Kabal. When reo was not present in a tourney, random viable characters would win a tourney.

Last time i checked when ppl make tier list or determine balance you assume all the characters are being played to the best of their ability

Dude.

Stop it.

If someone discovered some tech that made Sinestro an S tier character tomorrow, you would not be saying shit.
I did and NRS decided to rape him but leave Batman, aqua, DS, superman etc w their shit that makes them so good

They should stop saying things like "we want every character to be top" because sinestro was brutally raped but no they decide to leave batman and everyone else w their bullshit

GTFO my nuts Dave , if smoke were in this game we'd hear your bitching and countless threads.

I realize now after helping in Feb. the only thing I did was shoot myself in the foot. I should have been like a few others and claimed my character was terrible or "not that bad" and saved the dirt for release because I'm not sure how today I sit here w this game and realize MY character was the only one taken to the rape wagon in the back yard and beaten

I honestly should have not done my job and said my character was worthless

People need to start making the Jump to InjusticeSociety.com full time.THis complaing will never end.
This complaining can end up there, as well. Just saying.

Complaining is inescapable, in reality.

About Injustice's balance, at this point only Cyborg theoretically is potentially like Kabal in terms of matchups, but that aside, the bottom tier to top tier gap is 1000x smaller than MK9 then and now. Baraka and Sheeva were pointless to even attempt to use against anyone not themselves. You can't really say the same about the alleged bottom tiers in this game.

Random Viable characters lol. You failed to mention that there were only like 5 or 6 random viable characters. Try comparing that to how many viable characters injustice has.. Over 10 btw

Cyborg is mostly a zoner though. Kabal was controlling the entire screen. You as much as sneeze from anywhere - poof he is in your face raping your health bar. Ok you can bring up the infinite, but that won't stay for long anyway.
As far as the bottom tiers go... Bane comes pretty close to what you described.

(I'm not claiming a definitive stance. Just pointing things out)

Sinestro gets beat 2-8 by a lot of characters. He has no safe options, not that the other characters are too strong. Sinestro needs a buff. Even if other characters get nerfed, you will continue to get the begeezus beat out of Sinestro by a lot of characters because he has no safe options.

Injustice is infinitely better than MK9 when it comes to balance...

batamn, aquaman, black adam, superman, cyborg, GL, nightwing, green arrow, WW, deathstroke, doomsday, and killer frost are all perfectly capeable of trading major wins in tournaments at the highest level..

how about viable characters? At the VERY LEAST grundy, catwoman, ares, hawkgirl, raven, flash.

Thats 18 VIABLE tournament characters and 12 that can CONSISTENTLY win majors. Don't ever try to convince anyone that MK9 was even close to that..
How can you say FOR SURE that those characters are capable of winning a major? When MK9 first came out, most people thought that a large portion of the characters were capable of winning despite the results of those early tournaments. How is this any different? You have said yourself that you still have a lot to learn about this game, as do all of us. When all is said and done, the dirt that the top tiers have might totally mitigate the strengths of other characters.

Read the first sentence. Whoever said that can gtfo lmao. Injustice is so much more balanced than MK9 it's ridiculous. You're either stupid or trolling, whoever you are.

Bane is probably the closest, but that's pushing it.

WoundCowboy the entire cast is too dumb to count out of viability completely.

MK9 isn't balanced at all, but we all know that.


But lbsh, injustice isn't balanced either AS OF RIGHT NOW! It's not as dumb as MK, but there are some pretty stupid shit in this game.

It is the first month tho. Shit will get fixed, and it will either make the game better, or worse. Lets jut hope I doesn't end up like MK's balance

I criticize NRS more than anyone else on this website for unjustly nerfing characters. Besides, I know what nerfs feel like. Remember that Kano was my first main character in MK before he was bombarded by unnecessary nerfs.

Even if Batgirl is the Smoke of Injustice, I can be objective and state that Injustice is still the better game overall. Why? No input bug. No meter drain glitches. No stupid blocking mechanics.

I understand that Sinestro was nerfed while others were left untouched. I definitely support reasonable buffs in the next patch.

Just remember -- this is Vanilla. And not Vanilla in a game like Tekken Tag 2 that's been a long iteration of similar mechanics and moves over years and years. It's Vanilla in a new IP, with new characters, new moves, new mechanics, and its own style of gameplay. To me that means 2 things:

1) It's probably too soon to be 100% specific on balance.. It'll take some time to see what every chracter is like when played to their fullest potential.

but 2) The issues that are there (and there is no vanilla game in a new IP that is without balance issues) will take correcting over time, and that's why the hotfix tweaking system exists and was put in place.

So why jump to either extreme; "There's never anything wrong with the game or characters, everything is 100% fine and nothing will ever be need to be changed" is way over to one side and "Everything's out of wack and completely unbalanced" is way to the other side; the real answer is probably somewhere in the middle of those two.

So that means Injustice is more balanced. Thanks for answering the question with all those useless sentences, KhaoTik.

I think his point was that Injustice isn't balanced either. It isn't a question of which is more balanced. At this point in time Injustice may be more balanced... but that is subject to change. That is what he meant... I think. :16Bit

No... None of this is subject to change! They can only make Injustice better from here... And if they mess that up somehow then I no longer have any faith in NRS. :coffee:

Not for nothing, but if the testers weren't allowed to enter tournaments immediately after the release of the game, you wouldn't get this conflict of interest.
