Didn't catch it on stream but from eventhubs

Injustice fixed the main problems from MK9.

1) It got rid of those stupid MK characters
2) Back to block

oh and there's trades and stuff now but that's not as important

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";55937252]I don't like the whole "one version of each special move" thing. And the ugliness. I will never be ashamed to judge books by their cover.[/QUOTE]

I've been playing Grundy, he's fun, stupid, and does a ton of damage
 
Is it weird that I find Injustice more interesting than MK?

Not at all. I still don't think they've managed to get rid of the jank, but they have gone a long way in differentiating the characters/reducing the number of shared moves.

Wish it would come to PC. I'd buy it

Well, there were those steam registries for mk9. Wouldn't be surprised if it happens a year later. That'll leave Namco as the last big holdout.
 
looks like I missed some drama of some sort

summary, please?

Chrisg knocked into losers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vps-dbYOfpo

followed by twitter salt and homophobic slurs

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";55937696]Grundy is the prettiest character in Injustice, though.[/QUOTE]

You can add armor to his command grab, and it's one button, it's nuts!

And you can combo into it too, it's really weird. Also he does like 60% damage
 
How is button blocking a problem.
It's not a problem it's a preference. Plus it looks goofy at times when a player is just sitting there blocking. Hold back to block is just simpler to use and get to grips with plus it feels faster to me at least to go from defense to offense.

You're correct it's a preference, I don't care how characters look during block animations.
 
[QUOTE="God's Beard!";55939132]You know what I hate? That invisible line in Street Fighter where you can't walk backwards if someone's hitting a button.[/QUOTE]

Ya, I really hate that too.
 
Man, I can't even imagine the reactions if Chris G won EVO. When Viscant won it was like 70% celebration because he was the better player and an innovator and 30% Phoenix salt. When FChamp won it was probably 50/50 because FChamp was clearly the better, more consistent player, but the ultimate villain at the time. If Chris G wins people are going to go nutso and the majority of it will be salt I think.

I like how Marvel has villains, this storyline is what keeps it interesting and hype at all times/

Well I hate getting crossed up too in 2D games but that's part of the experience.

We should all just play Tekken instead. No block button, no dive kicks or teleports, no spammy projectile zoning, no disjointed sword normals (well good ones, Yoshimitsu's slow ass sword normals barely count), no overhead ambiguous cross ups etc.

People would still complain epically when they run into Eddy/Christy.
 
Homophobic slurs on Twitter should lead to dropped sponsors. For people with sponsors getting paid to promote a brand and want this to be taken seriously that is unacceptable. It's embarrassing to see people as the figures in a community to act like that.
