I'm nearly 20 years removed from Mortal Kombat on the Sega, but we bought our son (11) an Xbox for Christmas. I was very anxious to introduce him into the culture of fighting games. I originally purchased Mortal Kombat, but was quickly educated that "M" for Mature truly means Mature when it comes to that game. I was excited to see that Injustice was by the same company with "comic book" violence.
All that being stated up front, my son has all but quit playing and I find myself increasingly frustrated with the game inputs. EXAMPLE
a particular move requires: Down, Left, Right, "A"
when i execute the move the input feedback says: Down, UP, Left/Down, Right/UP, "A"
when i go into practice mode, i'll rehearse a particular move over and over and very rare does the move ever execute properly. The biggest annoyance is seeing my character jump back like a moron when performing the Down>Left.
1 - There is no way I'm going to convince my wife we need a "Fight Stick", it's never going to happen
2 - What controllers are out there that have dedicated D-pads
What are some ways you guys have compensated for these irregularities? I've spent a few hours working on moves, and it's so frustrating to see your character perform just goofy actions. I know that the older style games allowed sweeping movements: Down, Left could actually be a Down (clockwise sweep) Left and it would work, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
