Mastering the controls is paramount to success in Injustice. The game utilizes a standard fighting game layout. You have light, medium, and heavy attacks, a character trait button, and a block button. Understanding how to combine these for combos and special moves is your first step. Practice in the tutorial mode to get a feel for each character's unique inputs.

- Light Attack: Quick, low damage, good for starting combos.
- Medium Attack: Balanced speed and damage.
- Heavy Attack: Slow, high damage, often launches opponents.
- Character Trait: Unique ability for each character, activated with a dedicated button.
- Block: Hold back to defend against attacks.
- Throw: Light Attack + Heavy Attack (simultaneously).
- Super Move: Requires a full Super Meter, activated with a specific input (usually Down, Forward, Down, Back + Meter Burn).
