Ggs earlier joey aces. I've never played a batgirl before so it took me a couple matches to figure out exactly what was happening. Hit me up again some time, I'll probably keep grinding out with green lantern. Trying to avoid the temptation to fall back on doomsday for a while.

Hell yea, we had some great matches. Your Doomsday and Lantern are both top notch! :cool:

I'd like to point out that my msg (ErrantElement) was tongue in cheek.

With that said, Calamity is still totally gay.

Whelp, pretty sure Scorpion's my new favourite character. Can't believe how many resets he has at his disposal, not to mention the disorienting constant teleports (make sure they're jumpy before doing that).

Tournament player Playing To Win put up a short video of his Sinestro vs. Funkdoc's Batman and a long video of his Killer Frost vs. Funkdoc's Batman. Both videos also feature Mario Party action involving fighting game players and some very excited young kid:

Check the Downloads/Extra Content section in the Bonus main menu area. Look for the 0 cost Scorpion download or the Containment Suit Update.

I downloaded the suit update prior to the official release and it came with Scorpion which ultimately didn't require me to even download him directly.

Barring that you can always check the Injustice marketplace.

If anyone wants to play some 1v1 sets on PSN, I'm on right now (PSN is ShadowNinja64). I'll just be chilling in training, so send me an invite. I'll probably jump around between a few characters, but if there's someone in particular you want me to use and I know how to use them then we can do that, too.

After having him in the environment for a week I loving hate Scorpion. Having such a fast opposite side teleport attack is problematic in a btb game. Pressing down in a quarter second consistently is a lot harder than pressing block.

How so? I'm not trying to be pretentious here by the way.

The reason I ask is because pressing down will block ground and air teleport punch regardless of which direction Scorpion is coming at you from.

I find myself accidentally holding diagonal instead of down (with my stick) all the loving time against Scorpion. I mostly just chalk it up to being terrible, though.

No I think it's just a carry over from a lot of other fighting games where down-back would normally be a crouch block.

(edit: you're not terrible is what I'm telling you)

If that's the reason then I can relate.

But really though, after some focused practice pressing down should just be as easy to do as pressing away from your opponent.

Good games, Krad. Your Batman is solid and your Scorpion seems to be getting there (you're a bit reckless with his unsafe stuff), and I was having trouble adjusting to the latency between us. Dropped way too many combos and punishes like d1s instead of Lifts with GL after blocked Scorp teleport or dropping the hard knockdown ender on the Flash combos. It was still fun, though!

Edit: I sent Zombiesrock a match invite, if you're still interested.

Thanks, good games man. I could tell you were dropping stuff left and right, I'm not from the US so I understand it was probably a bit tough. :shobon:

I do need to practice more with Scorpion and getting used to his MB teleport so I stop being so reckless like you said. Those last few seconds of the last match were hysterical.

Oh wow, for you not being from the US, that was way better than I would have expected connection wise.

Also yeah, I was kicking myself for dropping my air gunshot at the end there.

I pretty much had insomnia a couple nights and so I tortured myself with them. They were mostly an unfun experience, but the costume is nice.

You could probably get a full combo with WW after that d2. Still, you need to do stuff other than turtling against scorpion.

There's a bunch of Xbox goons who play Injustice all the time. I could rattle at least six names off the top of my head.

Every time I see someone on my friends list in Injustice and not in a KoTH, I never get any response and I have very, very little interest in full KoTH or Survivor rooms.

I guess a better question is there anyone on Xbox interested in beating up a bad player in 1v1s?

Dammit, Krad's Batman got me again. Also I didn't actually realize that Survivor was a thing. I guess that was cool.

In other news, Northwest Majors V is going on, and although it isn't for a few hours, the Top 8 for Injustice will be at 4:30 PM PST on https://www.twitch.tv/TeamKhaos

NWM Top 8:

Winners:
OBS TrevarThePastor (Superman)
STB|Kevin 7 (Batman)
Reggie (Doomsday)
Joey Classic (Batgirl)

Losers:
Heaton (Deathstroke)
Collin LG (Black Adam, Green Lantern)
STB|McNasty (Wonder Woman)
Saul C (Batgirl)

Interesting character variety, with the only repeat being Batgirl. No Scorpion, but he probably was banned due to non-Season Pass people not having him yet.

gently caress scorpion in his loving boney face. Holy poo poo. Everything I have ever learned about this game has failed me in my most desperate moment.

There is just no way to block that tele on reaction, which means it is never safe to hold back, which means that once he's in range for his j3 which has incredibly high hit priority and a giant sweeping hitbox you are just screwed. I don't even know what to believe in anymore.

E: Krad/Gasti is 58-4 with that guy. God drat.

A lot of characters can neutral jump or back jump the teleport, too.
