I nearly forgot about this. Injustice was a top 10 seller on the Playstation Store in the month of April in both NA and EU. Plus the season pass was a top 10 seller in DLC in NA for April. I could see them staying high up in sales through the summer as DLC is announced and released.

I didn't know it was available for digital download on day one. Wish I hadn't bought the disc.

Why has the FGC suddenly a symbol of everything that's bad in this thread? We like to be competitive and play the game on a high level, that's not the same as calling you a jew when we lose. Guess what, people who bought the game just because the Joker is on the cover will also call you bad names when they get mad. It has nothing to do with whether they're a "fighting game player" or not.

I think you might be overreacting. He complemented fighting game goons for being helpful and not taking videogames too seriously.

Honestly I feel that Soonmot's posts were a generalization and then an overreaction and that you are vastly underestimating the potential for random folks to be the one sending hate messages because they don't understand the game past the level of "press button, punch dudes", just like AnonSpore said. I don't tend to play random people all that often, but even I have gotten "learn to play, fag" hatemail from the guy who never stops jumping/pressing buttons/not blocking/etc.

Also it sorta sucks to try and be helpful and answer folks' questions and then see people making generalizations like that about the "serious business no fun" fighting game funs.

I didn't get the impression that his post was directed at anyone here. It seemed like a harmless vent about pubbies.

Theres some odd stuff about the mechanics of jump attacks in this game. I think some people mentioned earlier that you have to buffer a string in as you're doing the jump in to get it to combo and I think the game acts like the jump attack is a part of the string as a result.

The mechanic of jump-in dial-a-combos actually dates back to UMK3.

Part of me kind of doubts they'll do more than four characters. They did that whole "we'll start with four and maybe more later!!!" thing with MK9 and we only ever got four.

People in those threads were similarly pissed about Freddy Kreuger in mk9. And just like the people in this thread, they were wrong.

In fact, Ed Boon said Freddy Kreuger was their best-selling DLC.

It used to basically be a rule with comics when I was growing up that if someone died they probably wouldn't stay dead except Bucky, Jason Todd, and Uncle Ben. Then some writers got lazy.

Yeah. I thought Jason's death was a major historical event in the comics, like Barbara Gordon's paralysis.

I dunno man. It's getting a lot of praise and I could see it being on par with SF4 or Marvel, with TTT2 at the very least.

I think Street Fighter and MvC have a historical legacy that will always make them the top-tier fighting games for the competitive community. In the general public, at least in America, I suspect games like Mortal Kombat might actually be more popular, but I don't have anything to base that on.

I wonder if the rights are all tied up like the shows, but with Batgirl joining the cast now is the perfect time for a 60's Batman skin pack.

I keep reading on the TestYourMight forums that Batman is a "noob character" and unviable in tournaments and stuff. Should I stick with Batman and get better or is he just bad/broken/lame and switch to a new character to learn that I like, like Aquaman/Joker/Nightwing.

Fan forums are mostly poo poo. Play what you like and what you're good at. That could even be multiple characters.

Okay. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't doing anything wrong that's considered bad showmanship in a fighting game.

Blocking isn't bad showmanship. More like basic competence. Feel free to join goon rooms when you want a break from the rabble.

(Edit: and probably another Supes alt)

It's like he doesn't know everyone who follows him on Twitter also has access to other parts of the Internet where literally every secret about this season pass has already been leaked before Lobo even dropped.

Boon knows that what he posts gets people talking regardless.. I think he uses Twitter better than any other game developer I know of.

There was a previous crossover game, and both franchises are owned by the same parent company, so it's like MK is just another Earth in the DC multiverse.
