Tom Brady and REO's early Injustice: Gods Among Us tier list

A user over on the Test Your Might forum by the name of m2dave, recently spoke with Empire Arcadia's own Tom Brady and REO to discuss Injustice: Gods Among Us tier lists. Both top level players were asked to generate a tier list, keeping in mind the game has only been out for roughly a month, and this is what they came up with.

Cyborg is listed as number 1 due to his block stun infinite combo. Basically, if Cyborg shoots instant air fireballs repeatedly, it will keep the opponent in block stun forever. It is said that this block stun infinite works on the majority of the cast.

The characters are listed in alphabetical order under their respective tiers. Hit the jump to see the full list.

Injustice: Gods Among Us rage quit issue could be patched with the release of Batgirl

Since the game's release, many Injustice: Gods Among Us players have been discussing an issue with online matches. It seems that when in online ranked and player matches, if one player rage quits (disconnects early), both will be given losses to their record.

A Twitter user brought this issue up to NeatherRealm Studios' Hector Sanchez, stating that they hope to see the rage quitting fixed soon. Though Hector's response was laconic, it heavily implies that the issue will be addressed when Batgirl drops, considering general tweaks are also made with each DLC character update.

Check out the Tweet from Hector, below.

It is currently unknown when exactly Batgirl will be officially released but with her reveal trailer already on the web, we'll probably see her playable fairly soon.

Pacific Rim is an upcoming Science Fiction monster film directed by Guillermo Del Toro that pits giant, human operated robots against large monsters that have risen from the sea. Sounds like an excellent idea for a fighting game right? Well the folks over at Yuke's and Jump Games thought so too.
