Poll MKXL VS IGAU 50/50's

[omooba]

for those of us who played both games what do you think is harder to block mkx mix ups and hard to blockables or injustice's shenanigans
IMO injustice was harder because for mkx most of the hard to blockables came from a few set ups.
but injustice had so many fucking set ups and the back blocking added a third element to the 50/50's and then you rememeber than stuff like dashing through a character while charging an overhead Then Becomes A Cross up THAT CAN GO INTO A LOW OR AN OVERHEAD ACTUALLY EXISTS *sigh* fucking honeybee
what do you guys think

Injustice ambiguous cross ups caused Global Warming.

There's literally no difference in how hard it is to block unreactable 50/50's, but Injustice was better in that sense imo since it was a lot more difficult to get in your opponent's face and do that stuff. MKX has a bunch of batgirl-like characters, but batgirl's neutral game takes a lot more when movement isn't so easy, so it can be less annoying to deal with and easier to avoid those situations if you know what you're doing

Injustice, I could not block at all in this game.xD

Gotta take risk reward into account also.

and match up knowledge. thing about injustice was if you dont know the set up you will die

In MKX, I count about 30 characters with 50/50's. In Injustice, I count about 15.

What's with the "MKX vs [Insert game here]" lately?

I blame Eddy Wang

 

[IrishMantis]

In MKX, I count about 30 characters with 50/50's. In Injustice, I count about 15.

Does that count the ambiguous cross ups?

I think so. Do you mind pointing out the specific ones you're thinking of though?

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

Basically MK9's more neutral-based gameplay (besides ridic pressure and zoning) was a better game than both

 

[AK Stormthegates]

Injustice had some disgusting mixup situations but the game was a slower pace so it wasn't as bad as it is in MKX.

VIVA LA INJUSTICE!!!!!

everyone had some sort of 50/50 or ambiguous cross up
you know that set up with zod where he would dash in after a background bounce they do a neutral jump into an air attack that either crossed up or stayed on same side depending on what button.
yeah everyone had something like that. even batman shit even joker did. i saw some nasty shit with the teeth after mkx came out. but the zatanna shit was when i officially stopped playing injustice. it was just to much for me. i'm not trying to play two umvc3

I see your point. But at the same time, the situation you're describing was rarely done successfully with most of the cast when it came to tournament play (correct me if I'm wrong though).

Sorry, I meant MKXL.

Either way I think it's fair to say you just pulled some random arbitrary numbers out of your ass and didn't actually take the time to break down every character's setplay-oriented tools down in depth.

 

[SaltShaker]

In Injustice at least you had measures to deal with the amounts of Bs. In MKX you're force to hold godlike pressure and mixups almost always, and even when you're right defensively you're still in a bad spot afterwards half the time.

MKX bs is much worse imo.

More neutral-based gameplay(except for all that stuff that made it harder to play a neutral game)

Lol.

Well, if anyone ever does come up with better numbers, please tag me, I'd be interested to know.

Lol.

You take out the top tiers in MK9, you have shit-to-mid tier characters playing footsies.
You take out the top tiers in Injustice, you have characters dashing all over the place and mashing Specials.
You take out the top tiers in MKX, you have the exact same game that takes longer to finish because they don't deal as much damage.

The difference is very clear

1. Consequence existed for most
2. Defensive play existed as well as offensive
3. Offense wasn't brain dead and dumbed down
