Ive been having a problem lately against heavy corner/rushdown characters like Doomsday/Nightwing. Any tips on how to get em away from me besides pushblock? Like what is Sinestros best "Get away from me" move?

idk vs Doomsday but i play alot of top Nightwings

If you are stuck in the block infinite you need meter, period. if you are getting pressured by Escrima however you can get a poke like 3 or D1 in to create space. After a pushblock vs Staff i tend to space out a jump in since they don't have a good AA in that situation, but i'm also looking out for any attempt to move in which you'd punish with fear blast or B1

I write too much.
So I've been away for a while (Lots of stuff going on for me in the real world), but I wanted to mention something that I rarely hear about but helps Sinestro immensely IMO: Wake up backdashes.

We have a pretty good backdash, and when done on wake up we have instant invulnerability, allowing us to avoid a lot of wakeup traps (I know this messes with Ares' reset, Flash's high/low mixups, etc). Not sure why I don't hear/see anyone making use of this as it is one of our best wakeup options.



Also, has anyone made combos for crossup ji3? So far the one I have uses 1 trait shot and I forget the damage it does, I think it was a little under 40%? : Crossup j3 d2 4 b3 ji3 b12 xx shackles ji2 b213 (Or f2d13. I have been having trouble making b213 hit consistently on this string.)




Finally, I assume we've all heard the news about our trait being buffed? Anyone else think it's going to make Sinestro ridiculous? We're going to be getting pretty close to a full charge off of completed combos and shackles I think. I'm going to start being a lot more liberal with my trait I think...

Oh I hadn't seen the throw one. Nice.


Ah okay, didn't mean to retread old ground. I have literally never seen/heard any discussion on wakeup backdashes, and I've mentioned it to multiple people in the last few days who didn't know it was possible so thought I'd throw it out there just in case.

We got both. Arachnid Sting now hits Mid instead high, and now it's -11(instead of -36). So here's your new wake up option :D

Thanks for the info. These changes, including DS and Superman, will make the game more fun. Sinestro's the only reason I bought it to begin with. I'll be playing him throughout the lifespan of the game.

So my introduction - I started going to tournaments when SF4 came out and switched over to Marvel when it came out. I never actually played MK9 but i enjoyed watching it on stream several times [block button idea kind of turned me away]. I try to go to the Break tournaments in Jersey whenever i can -don't usually get that far but it's fun to win a few matches.

Anyway, Injustice caught my attention when Sinestro was annouced and also that there is no block button. I have lots to learn about this game and specifically Sinestro. I noticed there is no video thread stickied so I'll post here. Here is one of my matches from last weeks tournament. Feel free to critique.

Warning: This is not high level play on my end and I lose.

Things I need to work on and currently working on:
-Using d2
-Always charging trait (should be easier come Tuesday)
-Execution (always been a problem during tournament matches for me)
-Better BnB for b13. I started doing b13,j2,2,2,db1,b3,j2,b213 recently (i think its 29%)
-Learning other characters blocks strings to block correctly.

Shackles will allow Sinestro to charge at least 44.55% of his trait. Obviously more if you are far away or fullscreen.

After ending any juggle with a background interactable Sinestro will be able to charge 55.68% of his full trait and still be able to block Lex's Corp Charge in time.

And he will be able to charge at least 67.5% of his full trait after an AA 3. 80% if they don't roll into wake up attack.

Just some random interesting numbers. :D

My B13 Bnb is B13-B3-j3-B12-DB1-J2-F2D13 (34%): at the end you can safely charge at least one bar of the trait since the opponent is hard knockdowned(is this word grammatically correct?)and quite far from you .Connecting B13 with B3 online can be troublesome.

Holy shit. I just started using sinestro. I love this fool :)
I just have some questions though, I know I should try to avoid being up close but like wtf do I do upclose. He doesn't seem to have any safe shit. B13 is punishable, fireball is duckable, db1 is super punishable. He doesn't seem to have any safe strings or safe things to cancel into.

Also who's a good sinestro to watch? I mean is a good player and uploads a decent amount.
