Cyborg General Discussion Thread

[Hiyomoto]

Most of the characters in the game just don't vibe with how I see comic book characters. I really like a lot of the DC characters, but the Injustice versions are just so grim, joyless, and depressing.

Honestly, the characters take themselves too seriously.

 

[Marinjuana]

I feel like the characters talk ample amounts of shit and make jokes. Just not all of them.

"Somebody call the Ice Cream man?"

 

[Cursa]

All the kid characters feel bland or cringey af to me, kinda similar to how I felt about the kombat kids in MKX, more or less.

Like Firestorm and Supergirl have pretty bland dialogue imo. Beetle and Robin aren't much better for me either.

 

[Marlow]

Way to go, Flocko. 9th at EVO is pretty great.

 

[Ram]

Would love to see your matches against slips, crusty, king and Theo @pretty flocko . Do you know if anyone recorded those?

 

[pretty flocko]

Sorry I couldn’t bring it home with that top 8 guys was damn close and sorry no none of my matches were streamed I really wish they were my set with king was insane

 

[Ram]

No need to apologize, you brought the booyah

Your performance was nothing short of impressive. You placed 9th at EVO and consistently place top 8 in War of the Gods with a character everybody thought was trash until you showed the way.

Thanks guys appreciate the support

Your match with bio is on YouTube. Though now that I am typing this I realize that is probably the last match you'd want to see (sorry bro, awesome showing)

Yeah I def don’t want to watch it lol I just played super impatient I was playing frantic and wasn’t thinking about the match instead I was thinking about how bad I wanted top 8

Flocko your too modest my man! No need to apologize, you played amazing my guy. I never though I would see the day of Cyborg getting top 16 at a major, let alone seeing it in person. You definitely inspired me to improve in all aspects of life, especially fighting games.

 

[Protagonist_1]

If anything I would like to apologize. I was recording Flocko's match with Foreverking but my phone ran out of memory. Deleted my own recorded matches and a ton of my Evo photos to just make space but it wasn't enough. I'll dig through my laptop, even if it's just a short clip it's better than nothing.

 

[Protagonist_1]

I just checked, and I only have the first minute of Stain playing Theo unfortunately. Going to upload it later today though.

 

[Relaxedstate]

Congrats @pretty flocko!

Wish I could have seen your matches!

Sure thing.

I played that so trash all I had to do is walk him down and force trades with him instead I was impatient as hell

I like playing that matchup fullscreen and keeping harley out as much as possible. Was Crusty using harley when you played against him?

Yeah crusty uses Harley crusty doesn’t play the match up right how do you play it full screen her gun shots are too fast ?

Jump over gunshots. Get into a rhythm where you can air downward NB over the gunshot, try to just catch the tip of her feet. And NB does much more dmg than gunshot so it's not too tough to get the life lead and sit on it. Air NB or air mb NB over hyenas and scout out mb roll in with 2,3

 

[Ram]

When starting a match against harley, I do slight walk back into grapple away air downward NB or jump back air downward NB. This makes sure her b2 and jump ins whiff and gives me space to start chipping and zoning.

 

[Ram]

Also, gotta play very careful against Harley at all times. Even if you have a big life lead or whatever, never auto-pilot or do unnecessary things / take unnecessary risks.
For instance, with all due respect, you started off game 1 quite sloppy. You got hit by a lot of stuff that you could have dodged and already lost 50% before getting anything going.

 

[Ram]

and by the 00:31 second mark, you're making a nice comeback, hit Bio with a few well-placed fireballs. Then you get a knockdown, call trait, and then you take a risk with trying to use missiles and get hit by a fullscreen gunshot. In that case, I think you should have called trait and then jumped forward (over a potential fullscreen gunshot) or just stayed ducking for a second and let the gunshot whiff over you.
I believe that just small things like that make the difference in frustrating the harley player and making them feel like their zoning is ineffective (i.e., you are chipping them but they aren't chipping you) and then they force their way in (usually with mb roll). IMO, when they start coming to you, you're winning...but overall, you do want to stay 3/4 screen to fullscreen.
