Injustice: Gods Among Us - Part 7

[Nathan]

come to think of it, they way they advertised this game was kind of a big lie lol they made it seem like it would be "our" heroes that were bad, when in reality its just an alternate reality world version of our heroes (which I love, im all about the alternate universes) but even on the title screen it shows "our" wonder woman, holding a knife to Harleys throat, but when you play the story you realize it should be regime wonder woman doing that, not our wonder woman...false advertising I say!!

Let's sue them! And when we win, we get them to create the DLC characters we actually want.

 

[Grievous]

Gonna be disappointed if the red sons was the surprise skin pack they were talking about when they announced final confrontation Joker.

I'm curious how you guys work on fighters. I love Nightwing but I'm not very good with him yet but I'd like to be. Do you work a little bit in practice mode or do you just play with them constantly online/offline til you learn them

 

[ProjectPat2280]

you must be real good if you can beat the computer on max, especially with the reactive AI in this game. Even if I could, which I don't think I can, I wouldn't want to play on max, I like a nice challenge, not insanity

Hah well i havent done it here yet, but in MK, the cpu just posed no threat after a while. I could beat the entire arcade mode on extreme, without losing a match with a handful of different characters. I havent tried the max difficulty for Injustice tho.

I hit up practice. Learn his move set inside and out, learn some good combos(i say good, i mean no less than 25%ers) then i take it to the Battles. If i can cruise through a medium battle without losing i know im ready to hit up the online.

Nightwing has become one of my favorite characters. Try this combo out:

F+2, 1, 3 > Esrima Fury(MB) > F+3 > Jump 3 > Wingdings. Thats like a 31%, easy to do combo.

I mostly watch videos. Characters don't always click with me. I need to see which attack allows me to bounce characters, to continue combo. How to do a special ability cancel, like with Green Lantern. Where I power my ring and immediately go into the energy grab or whatever it's called. Once I have the basics down, only then I can try to make up my own combos.

 

[Balthus Dire]

I know right?! now I understand what they mean when they said this game was more accessible to beginners lol they didn't mean the mechanics, they meant easy zoning, and characters like deathstroke that take no skill to use, but LOTS of skill to get around. Before I said Deathstroke shouldn't be nerfed, now I definitely want him nerfed haha at least more recovery on his guns, they are just way to fast, and that's not even considering his trait which no deathstroke player even needs to use anyway, its easy enough to spam without making the bullets unblockable

I got double flawlessed by a guy just zoning me to death. There's almost nothing I can do to get in and when I do they just need to do one of their stupid sword spins to put me full screen again. He's a joke.

 

[X Knight]

were you able to try out those flash or batman combos I listed yesterday?

not yet. I only used Batman during story, and then I was just trying to get used to his moves.

speaking of Bats, though, is there a good way to "pop up" your opponent then snag them with that upward-grapple hook attack?

Yea, everything associated w/ the main Justice Leaguers in DC eventually becomes over-powered. Hal frequently gets input from the ring by some auto-voice. The rings have crazy powers aside from creating constructs. Some of the more commonly used.... (1) communication device and universal translator, (2) radar, (3) diagnostic scan for medical issues, mineral or atmosphere composition, computer intel...

Most of these are necessary I guess to survive in space and travel amongst alien worlds.

had no idea the ring could do all that.

2,2,3 is a combo that pops the enemy into the air. So follow that with the upward grabble, meter burn it > back + 3 > jumping 3 > back + 2, 3. 30%er right there.

I cannot seem to get the timing down on most combos that involve back + 3, especially online where lag is frequently an issue. I usually try to find substitutes for b3 or f3.

Eh it depends. One of Batmans BNB's is 2,2,3 > B+3..... but the timing has to be perfect and i have trouble doing it flawlessly every time, so i substitute the high grapple MB which gives me a lot more time to connect with the B+3.

With Nightwing, i press the B+3 at the end of his Escrima Fury(before its finished) to make sure it connects every time. You just gotta work in the practice mode to figure out the timing.

thanks!

so is 2=Med attack and 3=Heavy attack?

I think I might have stumbled upon the 2,2,3 combo while using Bats, but once I popped the guy up, I couldn't do the upward grapple.........

is it timing??

I like the sounds of that!! we can keep ed boon hostage until we get what we want

Gonna be disappointed if the red sons was the surprise skin pack they were talking about when they announced final confrontation Joker.

me too...a preorder dlc pack that has been revealed for months is hardly a "surprise" to anyone

I'm curious how you guys work on fighters. I love Nightwing but I'm not very good with him yet but I'd like to be. Do you work a little bit in practice mode or do you just play with them constantly online/offline til you learn them

I also look at youtube combo videos, then try and replicate them or add to them

Hah well i havent done it here yet, but in MK, the cpu just posed no threat after a while. I could beat the entire arcade mode on extreme, without losing a match with a handful of different characters. I havent tried the max difficulty for Injustice tho.

I don't think I ever played MK9 on max, but I am a lot better at that game then I am at injustice so I maybe could of beaten it, seems the AI is harder in Injustice

I got double flawlessed by a guy just zoning me to death. There's almost nothing I can do to get in and when I do they just need to do one of their stupid sword spins to put me full screen again. He's a joke.

yeah I hate that the sword spin puts you back at full screen, such BS...and it especially sucks losing to Deathstroke because you know its just some noob on the other end that doesn't know how to do anything except shoot the guns, if they picked any other character they'd get absolutely bodied, so they just stick to newbstroke

not yet. I only used Batman during story, and then I was just trying to get used to his moves.

like was mentioned, 2,2,3 lets you link to the air grapple, that's a part of the combo I listed for you yesterday

Eh it depends. One of Batmans BNB's is 2,2,3 > B+3..... but the timing has to be perfect and i have trouble doing it flawlessly every time, so i substitute the high grapple MB which gives me a lot more time to connect with the B+3.

I gave up on the B+3 after 2,2,3 during the demo days, I just cant nail it consistently so its of no use to me unfortunately, the timing is way too hard on it

 

[Sparta*]

thanks!

so is 2=Med attack and 3=Heavy attack?

I think I might have stumbled upon the 2,2,3 combo while using Bats, but once I popped the guy up, I couldn't do the upward grapple.........

is it timing??

1 = square (light)
2 = triangle (medium)
3 = x (heavy)
4 = circle (character trait)

2,2,3 links to the air grapple, but the timing is a little different then other combos, you cant just link it right after the 2,2,3, gotta wait a sec

thanks, so I have to wait after I do the 3 before inputting the grapple command?

Yea, as soon as ya see Bats kick the dude, input that command and it should work no prob. If it doesnt, just play around with the timing of the input.

Hey Pat, do you know any 40-45% damage combos with Batman? I cant really get past 35% with him unless I use the super in a combo which I don't like to do.

 

[zeptron]

I'm actually finding Green Lantern and Superman users that just jump in the air and try to "zone me out" with his lasers more annoying that Deathstroke.

If I had a dollar for everytime a GL user started the match by trying to get me into Lantern's Might or try to combo me into it by low kicking, I'd be a rich man. This is why everytime I fight a GL user I immediately crouch block when the announcer says "begin". And the MB of Supes laser is so damn powerful. One slip up and I'm back across the screen. I think even if you block it, it still pushes you back a little bit.

His first combo already starts out with 45% damage.

I have a hard time with that combo because I cant link the b+3 after 2,2,3 (as shown in that first combo) I know if I could nail that i'd be able to get more damaging combos, but its too inconsistent

yeah GL is tough, that mofo can combo like nobody's business. GL is one of my favorite characters, and I really enjoy using him whenever I pick him cause hes gotta a lot of combo potential and is fun to use, but for some reason I don't pick him that much...maybe after my epic failure trying to get good with shazam, I can try getting better with Hal

I agree supermans MB laser is ridiculously strong, and can even be done from the air

Playing online is the most frustrating thing in the world when you don't know many combos. I think just memorizing combo after combo takes some of the fun out of the game though. Gameplay becomes a little tedious when you're just going through the motions and just trying to win and not trying to just have fun

 

[Sparta*]

id just like to be able to pull off a full combo how I intend to do it online, but depending on connection I can barely connect a special after 2 basic attacks, to me online is like those star labs missions where you have to fight aquaman underwater

Yea, I get blown up a lot even when I use a character I know a combo or two with. What really frustrates me is, when I do well, I get rage quits left and right. Also, I get a lot of hate messages no matter what I do....

Spoiler tag for offensive language:

Spoiler

If I win: zoning make me a "*****", rush-down makes me a "******", stage interactables make me "cheap", any character I select is broken, if it's a blow-out I get a rage quit and then a message that I've obviously trained so hard that I'm sad and have no life...ect...

If I lose: I get told I'm their "*****" or I'm "garbage" and shouldn't be playing, if I declined to re-match I'm a "*****"...if I do rematch and I win, or am about to win, I get a rage quit and one of the above messages

 

[Sparta*]

oddly enough, I haven't received any rage messages at all (even more oddly, I haven't sent any rage messages either ) but I always expect them after a particularly nasty matchup

 

[Samwise Gamgee]

Maybe I'm attracting hate mail so often b/c this game is region locked and I have the word "Gator" in my screen name. The Florida Gators stand proudly beside Notre Dame in having a huge number of athletic rivals. ...during football season I travel around the SEC for road games sometimes and quickly discover that showing pride for UF anywhere in the south gets me dirty looks and a cold reception.

...or, it could just be that many people in general weren't raised right and are just nastier than they used to be.
