    Injustice Mobile Survivor Wheel of Fortune... or is it?


    Survivor Wheel of Fortune... or is it?

    Posted: 03 May 2020 05:02 PM PDT

    WARNING: Very long post below. Didn't think it would get to such lengths but apparently it did lol. There, I warned you.


    Is it really up to fate when you spin the wheel? That is the question. After doing some studying and researching of the mythical wheel, here's what I've gathered.

    Where you start on the wheel is completely random and there's no way to decide where you want to start before spinning. Arbitrary starting point aside, there are a few things about the wheel that's not so arbitrary after all!

    1. The location of rewards on the wheel is constant

    The various rewards obtainable are always in the same place and never change. How do I know this? Since you only get to see a part and not the whole of the wheel when playing, by taking screenshots of the wheel at different sites I managed to piece them together like a puzzle and mapped it out here. Now I'm not the best at drawing so don't shoot me but it's good enough to serve as a reference. Feel free to take a screenshot of it or whatever for later use. It's important to know where the rewards are; you'll see why.

    2. The speed of the wheel spin can be adjusted

    How fast or slow the wheel spins actually depends on the way you tap/swipe it. I personally find that tapping offers more control than swiping, but that is subjective; perhaps some of you find swiping better. I'll elaborate more on the how in just a bit.

    3. The wheel has brakes!

    Not very sensitive ones, though. To a certain extent you're able to slow the wheel down so that it decelerates and comes to a halt sooner than if you just let it spin without any intervention. I slow it by tapping rapidly anywhere on the screen, as in the mini game of certain specials. It's sensitivity is inversely proportional to the speed at which it's spinning; this can be understood by an analogy of a real car on the road. Is it easier to stop a car driving at 20mph or 200mph? The answer is obvious. At 200mph even if you slam the brakes the car won't immediately stop and it's hard for you to maintain control. All of this means that the faster you spin the wheel, the less control you have in braking it and thus spinning fast is not recommended.

    Equipped with knowledge of these things, I applied them while playing Survivor in attempts to gain the precious Nth Metal with decent (not absolute because of human error) success. I came up with a classification to define and categorize the different speeds at which the wheel spins, namely Slow tap, Medium tap, and Fast tap.

    Slow tap= ±1.5 revolutions Medium tap= ±2 revolutions Fast tap= ±2.5 revolutions

    To clarify, if you start on a green shard and you go one round and end up on the green shard again, that's one revolution. Using the picture of the wheel I drew, 1.5 revolutions means that if you start on the green shard, you'll pass it again and end up landing on the red shard. 2 revolutions means you'll end up on the green shard again.

    The ± symbol means give or take, and is an approximation of the revolutions of the wheel. This is because the tap of a human finger is not 100% consistent and this is accounted for by ±. That being said, with enough practice we are able to minimize the deviations and end up with close to consistent results. This is important since if results are not reproducible, people will say it's nothing more than just a fluke.

    So we have the picture of the whole wheel in it's entirety, and we know how many revolutions will occur by corresponding with 'slow, medium or fast' taps. Add in the third factor - when you hit the brakes and voila, you can predict where you land on the wheel! The only factor that is really random is where you start, but using the factors of number of revolutions and the reward you're aiming for in relation to where you start (that's why seeing the whole picture is important), you essentially have more control and become the master of your own fate.

    How to apply

    There are two ways to land on the reward you want (Nth Metal in this case since it only occupies one space in the entire wheel versus 4 smaller spaces for Last Laugh tickets or 3 big spaces for Power credits) - the Slow tap and the Medium tap. The Fast tap is not viable since too much control and the ability to brake on time is lost, as explained earlier.

    The Slow tap is challenging to perform, requiring a very gentle tap of the screen for it to be perfect. I've tried the slowest I can, and it always ends with at least 1.5 revolutions. If you start hitting the brakes right after you start, you can reduce that to about 1.25 revolutions. With that in mind, the sweet spot you wanna start with is between the green and blue shards, specifically closer to the green than the blue. Tap very lightly (almost like you're not touching but you do) and immediately tap rapidly to activate the 'brakes'. You should end up on the Nth Metal reward. This requires multiple times of trial and error, memory and patience to master. All comes with experience. The links below are examples of successful Slow taps:

    Slow tap 1 Slow tap 2

    The Medium tap equates to around 2 revolutions and it's easier to perform. For me it's just a regular tap with normal strength, having a little bounce when I lift up my finger again. You let it go one round and generally start braking a little after the first revolution. Since 2 revolutions end on around the same spot from where you started, you should use the Medium tap when your starting point is directly on the Nth Metal space, or right before or right after it (blue shard and red shard respectively). You'll need to brake sooner or later after the first revolution depending on where you start; if you start on the red shard (after the Nth Metal) then hit it sooner, so that it doesn't quite reach 2 full revolutions and end up on red again but on the Nth Metal instead. If you start on the blue shard hit it a little later, so that it makes slightly more than 2 revolutions and passes the blue to land on Metal. Sometimes you don't need to brake at all. Tweak the timing of when you start braking depending on where you start and the speed after your tap (since human taps are not perfectly consistent). If you perform successful Medium taps, they should look like this, this and this:

    Medium tap 1 (Hit the brakes slightly later) Medium tap 2 Medium tap 3(Hit the brakes slightly sooner)

    Note that when I say 'sooner' and 'later', it's a matter of milliseconds we're talking about and requires precision. So don't wait like 1 or even half a second on say 'later', that will be too slow.

    Concluding remarks

    Luck is when you have absolutely no control and things happen to you. The opposite is when you do have control, and you make things happen. Wheel of fortune? With some knowledge, law of physics and impeccable hand-eye coordination, not quite.

    I am in control only when the starting point of the wheel is favorable to land on Nth Metal. So far I'm unable to deliver results when it starts outside of the spaces I've mentioned. Also the theory is sound but difficult to materialize because the human tap is inherently inconsistent and this can sometimes be corrected by braking earlier or later, but not all the time. Still, having some control is better than having no control in my opinion.

    I took a pretty academic approach to this and personally it was a fun project I worked on, so to speak. I realize that it's definitely time consuming, strenuous and largely impractical for the majority of the community members. I mean, that's why people glitch/hack or leave it up to Lady Luck; to them it's not worth the time. But to the morally conscious, the ethical and the overly enthusiastic (like myself), this post is for you. If you choose to apply this knowledge, be ready to be very patient and persevering; it's not easy to function with robot precision when we're humans. If you choose not to apply this, hopefully this was at least an interesting read.

    Can whaling truly save this game?

    Posted: 04 May 2020 02:51 AM PDT

    You would think 'yes' but here's the thing. Games such as Injustice 2 uses the shard system that even whaling at absurdly high prices will not grant them full completion. This game however? You can. The real challenge for whales here is Metal characters and assuming that they're super lucky with Nth Metal Ultimate Packs, they can immediately reach full completion anyway. If anything, we can only hope for one guy that just started the game to spend nothing but real money as his way of progressing and perhaps setting credits and collection to 0 to repeat the process. It's stupid, but can it work?

    I just had the weirdest and coolest visual glitch.

    Posted: 03 May 2020 03:19 PM PDT

    Sucks I didn't get a video.

    I was fighting a Batman Ninja Team and Nightwing tagged in with full bars of power and no health. Somehow I knocked him out exactly as he triggered his super.

    Nightwing rides his bike and as he turns it around to whack me with his staff, he literally turns the bike around Catwoman who's waiting to tag in at the right corner of the arena.

    He finishes the super, flies out the screen and Catwoman tags in.

    I want to try and reproduce it but it's going to be hard. I don't think I've ever knocked a card out as it triggered a super.

    1. Have you experienced this glitch?
    2. Share any cool visual glitches you've seen below.
