Injustice: Gods Among Us – Flash, Flash, and More Flash at Russia’s IgroMir 2012 Exhibition Tournament

Injustice: Gods Among Us – Flash, Flash, and More Flash at Russia’s IgroMir 2012 Exhibition Tournament
iantothemax by on October 8th, 2012 at 6:22 pm

Russia’s annual IgroMir video game expo played host to a special Injustice: Gods Among Us tournament this year, allowing attendees to get their hands on NetherRealm Studios’ upcoming DC Universe fighter and run it through a more competitive atmosphere than its showings at other conventions. And now that it’s all wrapped up, Aris over at Fighting.Ru has provided footage of the event’s last few matches.

I just hope you folks are fans of the Speed Force, because The Flash was the only character used in the entirety of the top four. Check the videos out below and let us know what you think of his gameplay. Bear in mind that this is an early build of the game, and much could change by the time it hits retail.

Special thanks to Test Your Might for sending this our way.

    Not going to lie… that first video made this game looks pretty boring.  Same combo over and over.  Flash just looks like Johnny Cage reskinned.

    Only watched the last one for the titties.

    • Hombre_Gran_Jefe

      That’s exactly what I was thinking, including the Johnny Cage comparison.

        So nobody was able to adapt with other characters to overcome the basic stuff the Flash players figured out? ..NDOQESB.tk

    Kabal is top tier………………AGAIN.

    Jeez that was a surprise?

  • NyuBomber

    I’m not worried about the combos right now, but.

    It may be early and the game may not be finished, but that is not a good look. You assume people are coming in with little knowledge of the game system (maybe a some carry over experience from MK) and are figuring things out on the fly. So nobody was able to adapt with other characters to overcome the basic stuff the Flash players figured out?

    I’d really like to see more match footage.

    I’m going too old for this shit. 2D games just like shut that shit off. Though those cosplayers looked good.

     Wow this looks like garbage. Why put such terrible footage up? 2 videos of a flash mirror match spamming some kick move NONSTOP.

  • http://twitter.com/GorlokMadskills GorlokMadskills

    looks boring and animations look very , very bad

  • CptPokerface

    Probably not the best footage to show off. No idea why they all picked Flash, it doesn’t seem like they were made to pick him. I understand it’s their first time with the game but they could have switched it up.

    In any case, this game really does look faster than MK9, so hopefully there will be more gameplay footage with the rest of the cast at some point.

  • http://twitter.com/raz0rw0rk Ramon

    The Flash is the best character in the DC Universe so yay.

    Everyone knows they picked Flash for the glorious red and yellow of the Motherland.

  • http://www.facebook.com/allencleft Allen Tan

    is it just me or the characters look a bit small? The stage looks so massive though

  • jj tarek

    Oh boy, Mortal Kombat with DC skins!

  • Rahavic

    I still don’t get the wage system. Like if I wage more meter than you I win every time? If not and its randomness I’ll never wage more than the bare minimum. Why would I?

  • http://twitter.com/VulcanHades Luisito

    I really wanted to like this game. But it appears NRS hasn’t learned anything at all from their previous mistakes.

    Matches look repetitive and boring as hell (they always did the exact same string, which I assume has random frame data that leaves you somewhere between +0 and +100 and leads to 60% damage combos like vanilla Kung Lao). And the Wager thing is just annoying and breaks the flow of matches.

    I might rent it for a day. But if the training mode is as bad as it was in MK9 then I’ll just skip this and hope that MK10 can be taken a little more seriously.

    • shadow111431

      They were playing on an outdated ALPHA build. For crying out loud balancing was probably the least of their worries.

    • InjusticeGodsAmongUs

      Dont mind this faggot he is salty striker main from TYM. He is just said his main is top 5 worst in the games. He has never traveled and played this game at high level. He was and is extremely free on xbl. He has no idea what he is talking about, and his father is also gay.

      • http://twitter.com/VulcanHades Luisito

        Hahaha, unless you are CD jr, REO or PL I’m sure I could take some matches from you. :)

         I’m not salty that Stryker is low tier at all. I am sadden that a great game like MK9 has such a horrible training mode. You see, not everyone has the luxury of having Perfect Legend or REO as training partners, most of us have to figure stuff out in training mode. But MK9 doesn’t even let you record a dummy so  there is no actual way of testing punishment, setups and escape options. In addition, the game had random frame data with random 3D hitboxes + input drop bug and all sort of seemingly unfixable glitches that makes the game very hard to take seriously at a competitive level.

        No matter how much you think I suck at the game, my point still stands. NRS should take some serious notes on TTT2′s practice mode.

        • InjusticeGodsAmongUs

          If you seriously think you can only lose to reo,cdjr, and PL your more of an idiot than I originally thought. Secondly your logic is still gay you can’t just base NRS hasn’t improved their training mode in injustice cause your salty about mk9 training mode. Look, NRS put in game frame data for injustice so thats proof they are directly paying attention to what was an issue in mk9 for competitive crowd. I can assume from that they looking to improve training mode. Also this game dosen’t have RANDOM 3d boxs, mk9 hitbox is consistent, and your overacting the random advantage only character in tournament that has proven at high level to really abuse that is Jax in the corner with f41. Stop  blowing shit out of proportion none of your complaints play a big enough of a role in high level play to hinder mk9 play. almost 2013 and mk9 is still be played at high level see mlg in dallas next month. INJUSTIC FG OF YEAR 2013 HOLD DAT.

          • http://twitter.com/VulcanHades Luisito

            lol I only said I could take some games and hold my own against most top players but not win every game. And I meant guys on REO’s level (which includes Pig of the Hut, Maxter and all those other guys). I’m good at MK9 but just not on their level. But I would probably be on that level faster if I had access to good  comp  like that every day. Or if MK had a remotely decent training mode.

            For Injustice,  I didn’t know they included in-game frame data. That’s a good start.  But we’ll see when the game comes out.

            btw Just looking at the way you write i already know who you are hahaha.

    Honestly this footage is not very promising. The first video was a bore. Flash looks good but that is only one character. On the upside that Harley Quinn is probably in the top five hottest cosplays I’ve seen. Russian girls…

    Anyone know if this uses back to block?

    • http://twitter.com/VulcanHades Luisito

      Yeah there are cross-ups in the game like SF.

      • AnaboliChris

         Thats the only thing the game has thats good.

        • http://twitter.com/VulcanHades Luisito

          Block button in MK9 was ok though because normals inflicted chip damage.

          The thing with using back to block is that you’ll inevitably have magical unblockables or super ambiguous cross-ups where you need to guess which way to block and which way they’ll appear when they land. And I’m not a fan of out-lucking my opponents. I prefer games where you have to outsmart and outplay  people. But that’s just me. :)

          • http://profile.yahoo.com/XABDZOMRW3Y5Y3Q7IJJKT6YHT4 Marky

             Depends on how ambiguous Netherrealm makes the crossups.  Usually crossup setups can be recognized before they happen anyway, so I’m looking forward to it.  Block button has always been something I disliked about MK.

          • http://www.facebook.com/people/Basil-Bisiolu/100000804618260 Basil Bisiolu

             I don’t understand why people think that just because there is no crossup means that there is no offfensive MK.

            Everything is safe, there unblockables, and other things to open people.  You don’t need cross-ups in a MK.

            i suppose people will never knew MK enough to grasp that.

  • http://twitter.com/LordKurow Kurow Akutenshi

    At least you can’t say this game is inaccurate to canon, at least considering the Flash.

  • Chris Rumler

    Weren’t they playing this on a build that’s about three months old now?

    Yeah…not going to invest much thought in this until I see a new build.

  • Zonder88

    They really need a lot of work on game balance at this point. NRS really need to learn to not make 99% of the moves safe on block/advantage on block like MK9. Else you end up with that same-move spamming like all those Flash players are doing.

  • infominutebrad

    looks amazing! (we’re talking about the harley quinn girl, right?)

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_3WIEEE5MC7DVMZK2JLDMDTZ64Q rice

    For the guys complaining about thge combos, it was said that these guys had at least 5 days playing the build and that all the other strings/combos they had “learned” were too unsafe. Though I don’t see why anyone is complaing about a old demo build bnb, thats like complaining about max damage combos being done over and over again.
