    Why are Injustice players so bad at whiff punishing?

    I don't even mean online I mean at high level offline. I've noticed a lot of our best players are just ass at it for whatever reason. I just watched UltraChen's episode about whiff punishing in SF4 and it reminded me that I wanted to make this thread to talk about this some weeks ago. Ok...

    What do you think of these suggested system changes?

    1. Bounce Cancelling costs 1 meter instead of 2 Reason: They are rarely used because of the high cost but I do believe they have potential to help some characters offense. Bounce cancelling is pretty useless in combos so it would mostly be used to make unsafe strings safe, as a FADC and to...

    The obvious flaws of the no round system

    First of all, I know it's too late and this isn't something they can change at this point for Injustice. But I just want to throw this out there in case NRS ever decides to make an Injustice 2 or if they are thinking about implementing a similar system in MK10. Like many, I'm also not a fan of...

    Tech Sinestro Vortex with and without Trait

    Update. Sorry it took a while but I wanted to test to make sure everything really worked + I was testing other stuff kinda related to this but not really lol. Anyway, to make everything a lot simpler I decided to cut everything down to 3-4 simple Vortex sequences. hit confirm xx Shackles, b3...

    So... let's talk about dat Metropolis Rooftop

    Ok, first I used to think players just didn't know how to get around those interactables yet. But after some testing in practice mode I have come to the conclusion that the stage is in fact total BS and straight up scrubby. 1. The robots seem impossible to jump for 80% of the cast. It doesn't...

    Tech BA standing resets

    Don't know if this is known or not but I didn't see it posted anywhere: fj2, starter xx T, 22 xx black magic, nj2, 11 (32%) > fj2/MB CBS This only works on small/average size characters with slowish walkspeeds (e.g. Harley Quinn, Nightwing etc.). If they backdash they can get hit by fj2, if...

    Tech BA Interactable Resets

    Let's face it, this is where it's at. The player who is able to take advantage of his environment the most will have a big advantage over his opponent. And 22% extra damage is nothing to spit on. Now, landing an unblockable on an opponent getting up is pretty easy and only requires enough...

    Strategy Ra Power and Ka Servant follow-ups

    Part 2 of some intense Labwork I'm doing. I decided to split it up in multiple threads instead of one bigass thread with too much random info. Ra Power (b2,3, u,1+3) Ra Power is the most damaging ender of b2,3. It causes a hard knockdown and leaves Black Adam in the perfect spot to play...

    Can someone explain to me why this happens...

    b1 xx black magic is a legit combo and works from any range. However, if let's say I bait Batman's slide and try to whiff punish it, then suddenly b1 xx black magic isn't considered a combo anymore. Batman blocks black magic and I die. Why does this happen here and how am I supposed to know if...

    Guide Black Adam info on meter building

    All tested in training mode. Strings build very little meter on hit and on block: -13x 2,2,b1 on hit = 1 bar. -64x b2,3 on block = 1 bar. Special Moves build much more: -6x Lightning Strike on hit/block = 1 bar. -6x Lightning Cage on hit/block = 1 bar. Some moves build more meter on block...

    Breakthrough NRS needs to fix this move

    These are small clips of REO playing but he does a pretty good job showcasing just how fucked up that move is. Problem 1: Armor doesn't trigger sometimes for no apparent reason. Armor sometimes can absorb up to 3 hits and sometimes up to 2 and other times it can only absorb 1 hit. But most of...

    Tech Stryker's Oki Game (post-knockdown options)

    This is a pretty big project I've been working on for the last few weeks. For a long time my main gameplan was focused on: ending combos with roll toss vs rushdown characters and ending combos with a reset on characters I can't zone. But I was never really too sure what to do when I scored...

    Tech Fishing for the EX reset and X-Ray (semi OS)

    I guess people just don't get it... lol For those that do get it: *B3: Sindel, Sonya, Jax, Skarlet B2: Kung Lao, Sektor (except X-ray), Sonya, Jax, Kabal D1: Nightwolf, Jax 2: Kung Lao, Sektor, Stryker, Shang Tsung *Never buffer X-ray with B3 or D3 because they always hit if you dash...

    The new wake up system is broken

    The new wake up system Tom Brady's explanation on what was changed: I'm not sure people realize how huge that is yet but it's truly a game changer. What it basically means is that some characters can now gtfo for free on wake up. They don't even need to spend meter to be completely...

    Match-up Discussion Skarlet's worst matchups?

    Hey I have a friend of mine (*wink*) who's going to EVO but he thinks there's going to be a lot of great Skarlet players repping her (*wink*). Obviously only 1 month doesn't give him enough time to practice the matchup with his main (*nudge, nudge*), so now "he" wants to play it lazy and sub...

    Me getting schooled by Banana Ken

    Only one little match sorry... I wish I had a set with this guy. 1:53 - I KNEW he was going to dive kick so I wanted to absorb with X-ray but it didn't come out. :( This match made me realize I have zero experience vs CSZ. I had no idea how to react to his dive kicks and up close...
