Tom Brady on accommodating a tournament rule standard for Injustice: Gods Among Us

[chores]

NRS when they realized they shipped a fighter without a random stage select button:

 

[Zoidberg747]

Player 2 method disregards almost half of the stages as selectable ones.

So what? In other games if you want to be in anything but the first part of a stage you have to get a ring out or wall break. The transitions are there for a reason.

 

[AK Harold]

I wouldn't say all stages are power specific tbh. Since gadget ownes stationary explosion stages and agility benefits more from divekicks then the power characters throw.

 

[chemist4hire]

Rule 1: All button checks happen as instant rematch of last set and will be your only button check. Any further button checks will result in DQ. You are not allowed to button check after you go to the character select screen.

Rule 2: All stages are selected randomly by 50/50 the stages selected by the cpu for p1 and p2. You are not allowed to button check after you go to character select screen. Stages selected any other way result in automatic DQ. Y

But then you have characters like Batman who can avoid every tracking explosion interactable in the game, on stages like watchtower where he can throw them, vs characters like Bane who is a power character with no mobility.

What you said is out of frustration, and I feel you, but it's not always true.

Power characters are certainly at an advantage in the game. Yes I'm sure batman can dodge things, but that doesn't eliminate the fact it's an option in the characters favor.

KDZ as long as an explicit Random Select Button / Fuction / Option doesn't exist in-game, the problem will previal.

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

Stages matter SO MUCH in this game. And EVERY OTHER GAME AND COMMUNITY where stages matter is RANDOM. STAGE. SELECT.

Soul Calibur.
Tekken.
Virtua Fighter.

The list goes on, because every one of them realize that being able to have a 50% chance of getting a stage that either strongly benefits you, or completely hurts the other player, is INSANE.

We NEED to buckle down and make STAGE SELECT RANDOM.

RANDOM.
100% RANDOM.
If you lose, you choose to STAY, or ANOTHER RANDOM, like every other tournament that has important stages in existence!!!

This 50/50 is one of the worst ideas to ever grace a competitive scene.

THANK YOU! No one listens to me 'cause I'm an online scrub but at least Mr EVO champ here agrees.

I would rather have repeated dive kicks or explosion resets over a one shot. If you can control the interact and prevent it from being thrown you will dominate using it. Whereas many stages a power character gets one shot to do it.

That's another thing, power characters can destroy objects so that the gadget characters can't use them. I've thrown shit before just for that purpose. It's quite unbalanced in their favor

 

[ShadowBeatz]

Ferris Aircraft every time because interactables, and interactables are what make this game special

 

[TheGuyFromSRK]

Im new to this game but this feels like a no brainer. 100% random for first game.
Is there something im not understanding? broken stage or?

 

[LaR]

1st match random unless both players agree on 50/50 or a neutral stage.

Then loser can either pick a new character or go for a 50/50 or re-random.

 

[ForeverKing]

Atlantis every match, at all times. Atlantis is always the answer.

 

[DarthArma]

random everytime! loser chooses to stay or get another random stage

Bane zips across the stage in two fucking dashes.

Word! This is how it should be. For real~~

I'm aware that some people on TYM used to play Armageddon and Deception competitively, given the games had stage death traps, what were the stage rules for them?

random. stages werent selected

 

[Insuperable]

Loser picks stage. Hold dat

 

[PND_Mustard]

random. stages werent selected

In that case i'm quite surprised the stages haven't been random to begin with, given how some players here are used to it from the 3D days and other players have come from other fighters which enforce the random rule also.

 

[sgZick]

Question is, are we discussing the optimal modus operandi with the functionallity the game is currently giving us (lack of a true random stage select function) or who it should be done ideally, even if it requires development work from NRS?

 

[Icy Black Deep]

1. If you think something Tom wrote on Twitter was interesting, ask him to do a short write-up for the front page.
2. If you are going to quote his Twitter, don't just screen capture. Copy and paste so that
   • The remarks are actually in chronological order.
   • You can insert the comments of people he's replying to so we know what the hell he's talking about.

And yeah things should be random. Unless you're going to start turning off interactables . . . .

 

[sgZick]

On a side note, was it ever under discussion to simply play tournaments without interactables, sure it would nullify a big selling point of the game, but will it improve quality of play?

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

Im so fucking sick of this discussion

 

[NY_Jailhouse]

No random this would prevent me from switching to cyborg/aircraft upon losing, my only chance of winning
