Injustice is Hold Back to "Block"

[PND OmegaK]

While following and listening to some twitter chatting and patiently waiting for folks to spill more beans (details) about "Injustice", Jeff Gerstmann, tweeted an interesting note about the game and this is that it definitely is going to play differently than Mortal Kombat. Apparently as Jeff checked out the game, he quickly learned that the blocking mechanic in the game was different, no more block button! As he checked out Inustice, he was surprised by how different from MK it feels. It's back to block! Seems pretty interesting.

Actual tweet here.

ambiguous crossovers, here we come.

I honestly don't like holding back to block, I like that for Soul Calibur and MK there's an assigned button for blocking.

It has always felt off to me to hold back to block in every fighter I've ever played as much as I like Tekken it still feels awkward to me.

Well guys, time to learn how to block dance like in Street Fighter. xP

I am alright with back to block, it's not the worst thing in the world.

No more meter drain glitch!

3 attack buttons, 1 button for background attack. Character specific Super Meter. And hold back to block??

Then combo breakers are allowed lol.

Yea, this isnt MK, so the block button shouldnt be used. Good shit, NRS.

So when we saw flash dash cancel did he just press back?

3 attack buttons? Light, Medium, Heavy? Very interested in how this game will turn out now.

Were you expecting..............MK?!?

 

[RomeoBravoDelta]

I am not a fan of this choice and my purchase of this game if it stays in until the end is in question.

It's not a matter of it "not being MK," I just really don't like it when I don't have a block button.

 

[Rathalos]

I hope its not magic series.

Back to block is awesome.

I don't play gooby fighters.

I still think it was just a regular F, F dash and he canceled it with a block >_>

I'm really glad it doesn't play like MK, but man I hope it's not SF4 with Marvel controls

 

[MashPotatoTower]

well I don't like the news but Id still should check it out

 

[PND OmegaK]

No matter what they do with the game I'm going to be civilised and at least try it before I make final judgement, I reccomend you all do the same.

 

[Euphoric]

The bitching about this game is baffling. Are you expecting MK reskinned to DC? Some comments on this makes me feel as if people are just a bunch of whiny brats.

Now, my question is, how do you poke and stuff? Never played much beside MK.

Where did you hear about the 3 attack buttons?

Yes, I think most people kinda just want MK vs DC 2 - MK + MK9 gameplay. But why want more of the same all the time, you know?

 

[Z-911-Z]

I have plenty of experience in Capcom and SNK style fighters, so these changes don't really effect me much. Hell, who knows maybe I'll end up being much better at this game than MK9 because of it.

 

[PND OmegaK]

I can see a lot of the capcom gang wanting to try this now, will be interesting to see who ends up playing this at a high level. (providing it plays well at a high level)

I was expecting MK10. Fuck DC.

That being said, i will look at the reviews when it comes out. See how it is.

 

[Rampage254]

Lame. Now I'm gonna be twice as bad as I am in MK, with that "hold back to block" crap.
