Atlantis for best map

Pretty much.

I stopped following MK9 after Freddy, so I don't know what if any patches they released after him or even what state of brokeness the game has been potentially left in. Folks still play it competitively and they seem content enough with it at this stage.

I was actually surprised with the patches that came out after Freddy, I think there were 3 or 4. Some characters, Kung Lao and Liu Kang, were still broken, but by no where near as large of a margin. Also, they fixed alot of unintended resets with characters like Jax and Cyrax. Over all, I would say that before they stopped updating that game, they balanced it out pretty well. I continued to play that game until this one came out.

I've played some extended sets with a good Scorp as Cyborg which on paper should be terrible but I managed to go even by just playing smart and baiting teleports while punishing hellfires. Its honestly not to much different than the batgirl matchup truth be told. Its gonna be a bumpy road before the game finally irons out but if they don't gently caress with Cyborg anymore then I'll be just dandy.

Arkham city pack went up for PSN. I'm not sure if it was supposed to or not.

Edit: and I seem to have gotten zombie mode for free. Or is that included with Arkham city?

Blackest Night pack 1 is up as well. Superman, Doomsday and Flash.

Like I need a Superman costume besides Lockdown, pssh.

Where/what is zombie mode? I bought the pack but I don't see anything like that yet.

You can really mash just about anything crouching for free on his regular teleport now. So if you can start anything from a low there you go. I can even do a couple of Lex's slower strings after I crouch it. These dumb patch changes are making my fun game bad and I don't like it.

This is how it was before. d1 is fast but people wanted to it to be more punishable so it'd be easier to full combo punish off b2s and stuff online. You sort of get that now if you are a jedi and read the crossup, otherwise it's virtually the same on whiff (-21?) vs what it was pre-patch (-20).

Man I pretty much have to re-learn Scorpion now. Is really disorienting doing a teleport punch that whiffs because the opponent is crouched, at least that will teach me to not spam it, if is blocked you're hosed.

Speaking of Scorp's Teleport, one thing that the additional recovery frames on block does is that everyone can punish it with a b3. That helps out the large portion of the cast that previously had to worry about timing their combo starter to hit in his brief period of landing recovery.

Zod impressions from E3: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/672472-injustice-gods-among-us/66430421

quote:

While Zod has yet to be officially revealed, he is playable at e3. I am at e3 today, so I wanted to share

His look: bald, goatee, has goggles on his forehead. Sort of wearing an almost scientist style coat with metal gauntlets

Special moves:
Cannon: can be done in the air, meter burn fires two additional shots diagonally, fanning out
Pistol: pretty fast, meter burn fires more shots
Ground zap: fixed range attack, can hold or dash cancel. Sucks. Meter burn is ok, dunno if it otgs
Superman punch: works like supermans, but ends in a throw
Parry: it... Parries. Doesn't stay out as long as batmans, but better than jokers
Force palm: king of like cyborgs air concussor. Mb pulls you into the phantom zone, sets up a combo.

Trait: pulls out the phantom zone monster. Hitting the button again makes it punch, but doesn't make the monster go away. It has other moves it can do but the only one I used was a grab that holds you down like swamp hands

Super: knocks you into space and onto the moon then punches you through the moon, then a third hit back to earth. Like superman but brutal


The verdict: he is so fun! I beat one of the devs with him really hard (he was batman). Ed and hector watched, they staye and watched me win a few more rounds

Hopefully we get his trailer today.

I was really hoping Zods summon would be Ursa or Non but it being a Phantom Zone monster is alright too, I guess. Also I'm ok with the fact that he sounds like he ended up looking more like his comic book persona than Michael Shannon.

Pretty much, yeah. The only thing missing now is the official announcement of a second Season Pass, but given Ed Boon has already confirmed that Zod's not the last DLC character, that seems like a slam dunk, too.

Well, no, it's not the same. You had to block a hit before. Now nothing happens.

Same GameFAQs poster in a different thread posted:

Well Zod is playable right now by thousands of people at e3. They don't really care if people talk about it or it wouldn't be shown, they just don't want photo or video out there so it doesn't do their model or moves any injustice

They implied the reveal trailer should come out Thursday so we will all see then, but they didn't ask anybody not to talk about Zod at all, just not to take photos or video

Tldr: they don't care

So I guess we'll have to wait another day after all.

Zod sounds cool, but I was planning to buy the season pass at 50% off in a year. Guess I'll have to wait.

Also, come ooooooon Jimmy Fallon reveal! Then my prediction will have come true.

What? The recovery on whiff is functionally the same as the pre-nerf block disadvantage. They're equally punishable.

His point is that you can do a cr.1 when you're at neutral and not have to worry about getting hit by teleport. Before the teleport would hit you out of whatever crouching move you were throwing out, now it just whiffs.

It's punishable before it's even finished because there's no danger of getting hit.
