A Look Inside Pig's "Injustice NoteBook"

Burning down in flames for kicks
I have 6 pages on king batman and its mainly a huge credit to how awesome @HomeLee1121 is , he was everything i needed and more for not being free to batman ever again
2 on his flash
2 on his MMH but i didnt have ANYTHING on his MMH at ceo , sucked and he played unlike any at the time
It's hard to prepare for MMHs cause they all play so differently and use different setups. Dab plays nothing like Jupiter, Jupiter plays different than Reo etc

What is going on guys, Ya Boi Zyphox here.
maybe this is what i'm doing wrong, i don't do any of this kind of shit, i just play. i just play and make reads, i do these calculations on the fly. like after my loss to Outworld at SJ i just thought all the stuff he was doing and getting away with, then i adapted and got the run back. didn't help me against Lincoln Morris though :(

And, opponents jumping off of stuff, or when a zombie pops up, in addition to the rest of the frame data, etc....
Since all this stuff is easily blockable in MKX, I think it still poses a smaller set of potential variables than Injustice.

While I didn't have a notebook, I definitely approached mk with this kind of mindset. I just expected to naturally do it in injustice, but I didn't, and now I'm terrible. Props for putting in the effort pig

Actually I found this to be untrue and made notes of this
King = Reo
Jupiter November = dab march

Jupiter Evo = dab now as well

Many of you may have heard of this legendary huge notebook I made for every player and match up in MK9, in the end it consisted of over 350 pages of notes, statistics of every situation for every player i needed to plan for per MU, results, reviews of all footage recorded, what I need to adjust, what not to do, to do, etc etc etc x10

Anyway I thought I'd share 2 pages of my current injustice notebook, It will look hella intelligible however maybe some players can get something out of it in terms of going forward for MKX or maybe now till other majors in Injustice. This notebook for mk9 was extremely responisble for many victories I had that were close or blow outs and interestingly enough I did NOT start an Injustice Notebook like I did w MK9 until March after Final Round, I knew then I was missing something or many things. (Quite honestly because I was really f ing tired of typing of all this stuff or writing it down in pencil..it was a mix depending on where i was when I had tiem to study).

Current Injustice notebook is only about 80 pages but here's an example of what it looks like.

I will not show the MK9 one at all because may notes are personal lol and have lines like "This guy has no f ing idea whats going when I do XYZ....pees his pants" etc etc

The following was from prep i was making for EVO prep while observing every path possible I would encounter

If you have queestions about anything I have wrote like"What does that mean" "Why would you include this" "Etc" then ask so maybe for the future those who are serious about competing can maybe use this tool and study rather than worry why they are free.

Dont ask to "Can I see notes you had vs me"







I'll add couple more



i am doing this for mortal kombat x... seriouslky been planning

OMG...I absolutely LOVE and support this, but I must admit, my first thought after seeing the pics and the comment about the red pen in regards to your notes about Cowboy (LMAO) was:

What's fascinating to me is after I'll do notes for me vs someone I'll then pull up a match w that person vs another and see how their tendencies prove true universally or was it MU based w me

Great dedication and work, but I think this is why netherrealm wanted to add in things like running, and make backdashing cost meter(make the game less predictable, less deterministic). I think MKX will pose a bit of a problem for you if you intend to approach it as methodically as you did the other titles because there are going to be situations that you won't be able to predict as well. How will you manage backdashing and plan for having enough meter to be able to run 20 seconds later? Stuff like that. And, opponents jumping off of stuff, or when a zombie pops up, in addition to the rest of the frame data, etc....
This worked w mk9 as well

It's deeper than u think and what I've posted

I noticed that the amount of time Dab spends doing nothing, and waiting to see what his opponent will do, is specific to him and something no other martian seems to spend near as much time doing.

I think it unnerves some people or gets them off their game, because they expect to see the MMH that is putting something on the screen every 1.5 seconds.

When you think about it, it's 100% Vegas though :)

I use to do this for mk3 on snes / genesis (online via xband in the 90s) and off line even on later mks like trilogy. I would record the game see my fuck ups and write it out and try to change that pattern. I am glad to see others do this also with current games. I plan on doing this for mkx. Anyway props on sharing your notes @AK Pig Of The Hut and how dedicated you are. Also glad to see others do it also. Friends called me a fgc nut when I use to record shit on vhs and study my fuck ups heh.
