When people talk about "Batman with prep time", they mean whether he has a strategically placed dumpster on the block.
-
I had an interview at Toys R Us once. Applied for the videogame section and the interviewer asked what kind of games I like. He excitedly asked if I played Injustice and was super upset when I said no. Toys R Us never called back. I blame this shitty ass game
-
Injustice captures that feeling of playing superheros as a kid and making up ridiculous overpowered shit
-
"You also may be wondering, 'what combos does this character do?' No." might be the most unsettling thing I've heard all week.
-
Early in the game's life, before any DLC characters were released, I travelled from Austin to San Antonio for my first fighting game tournament ever, and played Wonder Woman. I could do her big whip overhead that hit half the screen and the space above her and went straight into oki. Then a 50/50 high-low mixup, either one would do 34% life and went straight back into the same oki setup. I had two of my tires slashed after the tournament and never went to another fighting game event again.

The pig is Injustice 1. Everything in that game reduced to a single game mechanic. The Pig is on my side: "I love Injustice" (throws the pig) The Pig is on my enemy's side: "I hate injustice".
-
The devs really asked the question "how come regular fighting games don't have stage hazards" and we learned why
-
This was the first fighting game I tried to seriously learn. It's a wonder I still like fighting games.
-
I now 10000000% understand Sajam's attitudes towards strong tools in modern fighters and picking a main. If you survived Inj1 you saw some fucked up shit.
-
The Pig was so funny. I loved seeing real live competetive matches on that stage, because if they got to "The Pig™" the match would just devolve into this degeneracy.
-
The giant flashing neon "L" in the background of the crime alley stage while Sinestro is getting dumpstered is a nice touch.
-
That dumpster match was the most jaw dropping shit I've seen in a fighting game. How could they let that exist.
-
It's amazing how many egregious things Sajam didn't even touch on. Black Adam's free damage on trait, Green Arrow's unblockable Super setups, Deathstroke's zoning on launch, that stage with the missile launcher in the corner, the list of broken shit in this game is absurd!
-
As a Scorpion main for this game,I went from being the most hated person alive to being the most sympathized after one patch lol. Game was sick though I will not lie,and still is a blast to play to this day.
-
Hearing Sajam say "this character has a hard knockdown move and this is unblockable" and throw the motorcycle had me dead
-
Every time Sajam introduces the move it ALREADY looks extremely cursed and then he clarifies that its an overhead
-
I'm also astonished by how brown this all is. So much of the stuff at that time just forgot to add color, but doing that in a superhero game is egregious.
-
I remember being happy as hell that Batgirl effectively gave us a hard counter to NRS’s eternal hard on for difficult to punish zoning, and that happiness turning into abject horror when I realized that she ended up being an even worse problem.
-
I love how Sajam is constantly saying that what you see on screen is real, like our minds can't comprehend how broken this game is.
-
Imbalance: Gods Always Plus I was legitimately laughing out loud when you showed the Bat Dumpster tech. Unreal.
