Alright, let’s talk about my little adventure making a tier list for Injustice 2. I’ve always been a big fan of fighting games, and Injustice 2, with its roster of DC heroes and villains, has been one of my favorites. I’ve spent countless hours playing, but I never actually sat down to rank the characters based on how they perform in battle. So, I thought, why not? Let’s give it a shot and share the process.
First off, I jumped back into the game. I needed to refresh my memory and get a good feel for each character again. I started playing a bunch of matches, trying out different fighters. Man, it was a blast from the past! I rediscovered some characters I hadn’t played in a while and got to really see who was powerful and who was, well, not so much. It felt great to get back into the rhythm of the game, pulling off combos and special moves.
Then came the fun part – creating the actual tier list. I decided to use one of those online tier list makers. It seemed like the easiest way to organize my thoughts visually. I found a template specifically for Injustice 2, which was super convenient. It had all the character icons ready to go. All I had to do was drag and drop.
I started by labeling the rows. I went with the classic S, A, B, C, and D tiers. S being the best, and D being the, uh, not-so-great. It’s a pretty standard way to rank characters in fighting games, and it makes sense to me. I wanted to keep it simple and easy to understand. This way, I could quickly see where each character stood.
Now, for the actual ranking. This took some time. I played a ton of matches, trying out different strategies and matchups. I started dragging the character icons into their respective tiers based on my experiences. I put the characters I found to be the strongest, the ones I consistently won with, into the S tier. For example, I found that Sub-Zero and Raiden are great. They have strong movesets. People who played Mortal Kombat before would find them familiar, it’s easy to pick them up. So I placed them in the S tier.
- S Tier: Sub-Zero, Raiden
Then I moved on to the A tier. These were the characters that were really good but maybe had a few weaknesses or weren’t as versatile as the S tier ones. After that, B, C, and D tiers followed. B tier characters are solid but not exceptional. C tier characters have some serious flaws but can still be fun to play. D tier characters, well, let’s just say they need a lot of help. It was a slow process, but I wanted to make sure I was being fair and accurate.
Once I had my initial ranking, I went back and played some more, just to double-check my choices. I wanted to be sure I wasn’t letting any personal biases cloud my judgment. I adjusted a few placements here and there after getting more hands-on time. It’s interesting how your perspective can change after playing a few more rounds.
Finally, I saved my tier list and gave it a title and a brief description. It felt good to have it all laid out. I’ve created something that reflects my experience and understanding of the game. Now, this tier list isn’t the end-all-be-all. It’s just my personal take based on how I play. Injustice 2 is a complex game, and different players might have different opinions, and that’s totally cool.
I decided to share my tier list with some friends who also play Injustice 2. It sparked some fun debates and discussions, which is exactly what I hoped for. Some agreed with my placements, while others had different views. It was great to hear their perspectives and learn from them. It’s always interesting to see how others approach the game.
My Final Thoughts
Creating this tier list was a really enjoyable experience. It was a great way to revisit one of my favorite fighting games and dive deeper into its mechanics. Plus, it was fun to share my thoughts with others and get their feedback. If you’re an Injustice 2 fan, I highly recommend giving it a try. It’s a fun project and a great way to engage with the community. Just remember, it’s all about having fun and enjoying the game!
