Pig Of The Hut empirically disproves this. I've seen this argument a lot recently, but it's a non-sequitur (or maybe a straw man... not really sure, but it's a logical fallacy) argument because perception of balance and difficulty have literally nothing to do with each other. I think the gap between the good and the bad is much bigger in this game than in MK9.
Sorry, but when i cant even clash with "tournament viable character" grundy because it'll leave me full screen and whatever health i got back i'm just going to lose (and then some) getting back in, this time without meter that i so desperately need, then there's a problem. When negative edge is still on with RC off, there's a problem, when i finish your first health bar with d1 and you turn into rubber and bounce full screen before rd2 there's a problem. When there's characters who are + on all of their strings on block and still have exceptionally good zoning (looking at you nightwing, pushblock doesnt matter because his projectiles are plus 20 on block, wtf) there's a problem. when interactables get in the wat of the camera or freeze your character completely, there's a problem. When you cant b3 because the level transition does less damage than your combo and screws you out of the work you did to put them in the corner, there's a problem. When certain characters' traits are wasted buttons and other traits are game changing, there's a problem. When most crossups are completely ambiguous (thus it's not a skill to block correctly, it's just guessing right), there's a problem.
Ok, so MK9 has meter drain (dont know for sure if that's out of inj), input bug (correct me if i'm wrong, but that's already been confirmed to be in inj, right), and a ton of 6-4 matchups... so? that's 3 problems. calling them major would be an overreaction because there's such specific circumstances and the yomi game in mk is fleshed out enough that bad matchups can be overcome and it's common knowledge for how to do so. Injustice at this point has way more bugs and problems than mk at this point.

Pig Of The Hut, i was sorta hoping that you would respond to this idiot, but i guess not all dreams come true, lol:
Also, as my own response, here's a list of characters that have been top 8 at a major in the last year: 1) kabal, 2) kenshi, 3) kun lao, 4) cyrax, 5) kitana, 6) cage, 7) jax, 8) smoke, 8) skarlet, 8) sheeva, 8) kano(?
BlackBryan were you top 8 at WB?), 8)sub zero, 8) scorpion, 8) kang, 8) sonya, 8) freddy, 8) sektor, 8) Reptile, 8) shang, 8) mileena. Oh you're right, only 8 characters... dumbass.
and it's these types of responses that keep me coming back to the injustice forums, lol
