How to deal with "spam" by Ketchup & Mustard

With Deadshot coming in Injustice 2, I find that this old video from Injustice 1 with Ketchup and Mustard breaking down how to deal with the notorious "Deathstroke Spam," has become relevant again.

Injustice 2 will no doubt have a surge of Deadshot players that will play with the same tactics. Hopefully this should help you if you don't already know how to deal with this heavy zoning playstyle.

I recommend you taking some time in training mode to practice against this, if you still own Injustice 1.

If you've never used the record function in practice mode, here's the gist of it:

  • Go to training mode
  • Select your character then select Deathstroke as your opponent.
  • Press Start-> Go to AI Options
  • Press L1/Lb until you get to the "Record" tab. -> Accept. (When you go back to the game you'll see a timer counting down from 60. You are now recording Deathstroke's actions).
  • As Deathstroke, jump back to full screen and use his gunshot specials (Quick Fire, Low Shots, Machine Gun)
  • Try to use these moves in rapid succession and leave no gaps. (If you mess up, just press select/touchpad and repeat the process).
  • Once you've have Deathstroke set to a decent sequence of moves, press select/touchpad. (You'll now have control of your character while Deathstroke does the moves that you recorded).
  • Now, just practice getting in on him. Try to forward dash after blocking each gunshot and get close enough to punish him.

You can do this against any character and beat any move you have a hard time dealing with (even against Scorpion, to prepare for Supergirl's teleport).

This is the first time I've made a post like this, so I'm sorry if I didn't format this very well. I just hope this helps some of you prepare for Injustice 2! Don't let those keep away characters keep you down!
