What's new

Why are the IGAU forums sooooo dead?

What's all this NRS community can't play 2 games bull? I must not be part of this community anymore then because I've played KI, UNIEL, & currently I am playing GG with seasoned veterans here in my city who know their shit and are top players in the game, to prepare for XRD release...living that ANIME life till MKX drops. Oh and MIT I'm right there with you brother, and anybody else who was part of the MK9 community, should have learned a valuable lesson, (DO NOT DROP & MK GAME AND PUT YOUR TRUST IN A NEW NRS FIGHTER!! ) Sorry but IGAU2 has to come wit it next time around, this community should be aiming to keep MKX alive for at least a decade on some Capcom shit, I won't be dropping MKX even when IGAU2 is announced & released simply because it hasn't earned my trust and love like MK has...(I don't get tired)

Do not provoke a god
Can people stop with this running commentary that 'this community can't play 2 games' please? It's nonsense, and the sheep on these boards just bleet it out every time this question is asked.

Lots of the NRS players play 2 games, but I assume that most of the people that say this trash only play one fighting game anyway.


To put my opinion forward on the question, Injustice has never been everyone's cup of tea anyway, but MKX has obviously dug out some peoples real feelings about the game. Of course for some reason, this brings people under the illusion that MK9 isn't a trash game competitively and can actually be taken seriously.
1. We have proven that we can't play 2 games at once. The only reaon some people are playing mk9 is because of mkx coming out, and even that is not a large number of people.

2. We're barely keeping injustice alive. It's very telling that TYM is more concerned anout drama with its mods than mk9 and igau stuff combined. Pig's red hot sunday series with igau has been overshadowed by drama.

So yeah, we're gonna keeping saying that we can't play 2 games at once because whether you like it or not it's true

Because for some reason most of the people on the site would rather kill the game and because they'd rather whine than go into the lab and see what their options are or check the respective character forums for an answer. I for one still play it every day. I think it sucks that people are just tossing it to the side and saying they never cared about it in the first place, there are much worse games out there and that attitude doesn't help the community grow or make our games' lives last tbh :/

Another thing I think people are forgetting is how much someone could learn on their own through Injustices' vastly superior training mode. In MK9, we didn't have frame data until somberness graced us with his work, and most "lab work" required you to have another person, so matchups and other things advanced much more slowly.

There's no adapting to a teleport that can go anywhere

that's a damned lie it can go only 4 places. front behind away and stationary.

regular projectile beats away and stationary teleport but you cant follow the MB explosion with anything since I'm too far.

behind and front can be beaten with jump attacks and stuff.

There's no way green lantern is getting oki on a good Zatanna who has matchup xp. You can teleport away all day while I have to dodge stuff and avoid getting out into a vortex. Zatanna 7-3s how many people btw?

I think just Green lantern. People say ban. But I think 6-4

soo then outplay them or switch mains.

I mean like we have to worry about MMH Raven Aquaman WW and like other matchups like that.

She does ok against most the cast. 7-3 to few characters gets bodied by some matchups.

A majority of people in this community apparently don't know how to deal with BS other than whine.

Can we just close threads that claim the game (or forum) is dead? If anything were to kill the game, it'd be that. There's like a billion other threads like this and all of them pretty much revolve around bashing Injustice, injustice vs MK etc.

What proof is that? People not playing MK9 isn't proof.

I don't think it's that people CAN'T play two games at once. They simply choose not to because, honestly, neither MK9 nor Injustice are worth supporting. Each game has major issues and just aren't very fun at a high level. For example, almost nobody that is good at MK9 really cared about it at EVO this year. It was boring.

For the majority of people it's something like this.

The games have huge issues that people kinda just put up with and - hey, wait a minute...is that a new game over there?!? Maybe it's not as unbalanced/buggy/whatever as this old game. Let's go play that one, guise!

Then repeat.
 
On the subject of balance: the truth is that people really need to make peace with it because MKX is not at all likely to be any better. Consider: Capcom does tons of internal testing, has a huge arcade scene to do public beta testing on, releases annual updates.....and yet they've *still* managed to release games with S+ tiers and 7-3 matchups (or worse).
Given that fact is it really reasonable to expect that NRS of all people is actually going to release a product with a few weeks of game balancing and 6 months max of post launch support and have it be a perfectly balanced game design? Your fooling yourself if you think that's realistic.

The funny thing is that people who have been here since MK9 really should know better by now. I went back and rewatched/listened/read about MK9s competitive history and its amusing how closely it mirrors Injustice's competitive life.
Just like Injustice, there was a period of time in MK9 when character diversity in top 8 was all over the place and people honestly thought it was one of the most balanced fighters of its generation. People kept leveling up and eventually it was decided that it was a counterpick game. Then, eventually, inevitably, top players gravitated to the top tiers, discovered/perfected their dominated tools, and everyone realized the balance was a wash.

Mark my words: it will happen with MKX.



TLDR; this will *ALWAYS* be a world of top tiers. Accept that....and either keep supporting the game or move on and find a more "fair" hobby.


And also out places us with green arrow while not practicing or bitching about aquaman
Lets be fair: I've definitely heard him bitch about Aquaman before.....and prepatch Adam and Supes.

This is why I wish everyone just played tekken. After becoming really good at mk 9, i went to tekken tag 2 and it was like a fighing game players dream come true. All the characters were viable and no super broken bullshit. The only reason i stopped playing is because no one else plays it.
 
because all this community cares about is drama and if you're not a top player your thread will get ignored. i literally have to pm people just to learn the game cuz i can't find anything in the char forums. i bet the same thing will happen with MKX a year after release and people will stop posting in the forums.
no worries bro, join my mkx PM, I got big plans and I would like you on board #YEEAAPP
