So im hearing some chatter about the amount of bad matchups in Injustice.

[TheTHCGamer]

For example compared to other fighting games like SSFIV AE but me personally i think its to early to predict the game will even stay the way it is. Just wanted to get the communities perspective on this issue instead of just some randoms who feel cheated because they might not be as good as they feel they are. Some people feel that even balance changes like nerfs or buffs wont do much in the way to change current matchups where i disagree.

Anyway what are your thoughts on the matter of the number bad matchups in Injustice?

Superman vs. Grundy = Kenshi vs. Jade

I mean I don't think the matchups are all that bad, it's true it is too early to make assumptions that the game will still be like this. Yeah some matchups do suck (as a Sinestro player I struggle hard against Scorpion lol) but the game is constantly changing. And I don't get how people saying that the balance changes aren't helping, people just gonna complain to complain if they can't win. My thoughts are if you feel like you're struggling hard in a matchup, then hit the lab and learn!

I understand but every fighting game has bad matchups. Even though i do feel really bad matchups are worth noting but how about the amount of bad matchups currently compared to other fighting games? I feel if there is truly that bad that updates to the character balance can change that but it should take some time so the right changes are implemented. We dont want characters becoming to weak or to strong to balance changes in the game. Still some players feel changes need to be made now or arent even going to make a difference.

Agreed. New tech is still being found because this is still a new fighting game and the balance changes do make a difference in my opinion when it comes to bad matchups. In fact isnt that the point of balance changes to a game?

Exactly!

Sadly, the more diverse and unique the character roster is, the more imbalanced the game is bound to be. Which is obviously both good and bad.

Ideally you want a fighting game to remain balanced in its inevitable imbalance.

But a perfectly balanced fighting game would be boring because all characters would basically play exactly the same.

It just shows that you should have a character to cover your main characters weaknesses.

People are simply complaining over counterpicking, simple as that. Thats in nearly every fighting game.

The only thing bad about a MU heavy game is when the top characters don't have any bad MUs

there is no reason to not play Batman, Superman, Black Adam or Killer Frost

THIS^
It is essentially what destroys the balance of the game.

This game will probably be more matchup heavy than mk9 and have the same huge gap between top tiers and low tiers

 

[ryumanjisen]

I honestly think this game is too matchup dependant. And that makes counterpicking a must, in my opinion. And yes, that lead to really bad matchups for some characters (7-3, even 8-2 are the norm here).

I'm curious to know who you believe is fighting a 7-3 matchup.

The MUs in this game outside of a few *Scorpion vs most zoners, Most zoners and Hawkgirl vs Bane* MUs aren't as skewed as people make them out to be.

You do realize that you could just as wrong as you're implying he is by posting tournament results for a game that was out for about a month, being played on a patch that was out for way less than that? How do you know when that when this game has fully developed it won't be nothing but black adam players in top8?

Bane vs Supes is pretty bad


Edit: on second thought. Bane vs HG

I believe you HAVE to have a team in all FG's. At this moment in time, I have Hawkgirl, Catwoman, and Killer Frost. They all compliment each other and covers all bad mu's.

 

[ryumanjisen]

As someone said, Super vs Bane.

Others? Super vs Grundy, Adam vs Bane and, right now, Scorpion vs Sinestro.

Wait, Hawkgirl isn't a zoner now?

But yeah, there are quite a lot of lopsided matchups in this game, more so than the likes of SSFIV and recent Tekken games. But at least there isn't that one character so far.

Superman vs. Grundy = Kenshi vs. Jade

Superman vs grundy is a pretty winnable match for grundy. Grundy's anti air allows him to shut down the air dash game. WCC allows him to get in on air keep away and SH can be used for ground zoning. Armor+trait works well against up close pressure. Be patient when superman has his trait active and if you get the chance to land a trait throw use defense chain it makes his keep away tools essentially worthless. The match isn't in grundy's favor but its not bad. I find 6-4 matches acceptable personally. Black adam on the other hand can EAD.

grundy vs black adam is probably an 8-2 match up 7-3 at best. Hawk girl is probably 7-3 and green lantern might be a 7-3 though I think 6-4 is a little more accurate.

This reminds me of "Jade has glow so she can go through all of Kenshi's spirit charges"

big difference but whatever. Tyrant's showing I'm right and more than likely i'll be doing the same thing myself.

Edit: on second thought. Bane vs HG

The chars that give BANE the worst beating are GL/BA/WW/Batman/NW. Everybody else is either 6-4, even, or we lose 4-6. Superman is not as bad as others surprisingly enough
