These have helped me completely tank my score in Multiverse events while also blasting through them (the game apparently hates combos and playing Well).

To get good scores in SP you have to do like two of the following:

- Kill your opponent quickly
- Kill your opponent while taking very little damage
- Do a lot of unnecessary bullshit like outright win clashes and four-bar supers

The game won't reward you well for doing a lot of zoning/spamming or picking your spots.

What this means in practice is that it's a lot easier to accumulate XP by running AI on multiverse events (why Batman you got 700 XP in 40 seconds again? Thanks!) than it is to play the game yourself, which is perhaps not ideal.

I need to know what I am supposed to use source crystals for. I have refrained from auto-leveling characters because that seems like a waste.

Use them on premier skins and/or fancy unlockable shaders.

I used my last few thousand on a gaudy af orange/purple/green shader for harley. Was not dissapoint.

Bring on the riddler. His special is to send you brain teasers and if you get it wrong you take damage

There is a fighting game character that works sorta like this - in Arc System Works' Fist of the North Star game, Jagi has a "say my name!" super where he point-blanks the other character with a shotgun if they can't correctly pick his name from a list.

Speaking of source crystals...

As of today's update, players with profile level 65 or higher should be receiving free bonus crystals to make up for the previous level 60 cap on possible in-game source crystals earned.

That means you grem

He seems to be assuming you can get skins or crystals out of Mother Boxes. :catstare:

Also want to go back in time and tell Jack Kirby about the context in which we are using the phrase "Mother Box"

Oh yea, I should clarify that I don't think you should buy shaders with crystals, either.

Backlogged SC earnage is usually gained by just opening your mother's box after an update.

Again, this applies only to those above level 64 who have heretofore been begrudged their rightful SCs

Soul Calibur related does anyone remember a weird pen and pencil webcomic type thing about it and the adventures of Voldo and his assless chaps?

I still think IJ2 is cool and good but I think it's easy to burn out playing solo.

Recent patch is loving bad.

https://community.wbgames.com/t5/Official-Announcements/Injustice-2-July-update/m-p/1566889#M14

-- Reduced how much XP, credits, and gear drops you get when using AI fighters
-- XP has also been reduced when fighting characters lower level than you
-- lowered drop rates of abilities, shaders, and epics

But hey thanks for the minor buff to Black loving Adam, he really needed that. Thanks, NRS :bravo:

seems like with every patch they're just punishing people loving more and more by lowering drop rates, experience, loving everything. It's scumbag level horseshit especially when this is the priority over any actual balance changes.

The best part is I'm pretty sure you don't get bonus XP for beating a character that's higher level than yours. Only punished for fighting a lower one.

I think NetherRealms is trying to discourage exclusive AI play it is just that it's stupid to even care about that.

NetherRealms did thankfully fix an EXP exploit though that allowed players to get profile rank 100+ within only a few hours. To little to late though.
