What weakness do you want to improve when MKX drops?

Ra Helios · Feb 20, 2015

Being patient and try to get in the smart way if I have to.

Defense which is improving a lot when I was playing Killer Instinct.

Really focusing to my opponent and reading there move which is improving greatly playing Ki.

By the time mkx comes out my fundamentals should be top notch.

I want to learn how to play with fundamentals.

Amplified$hotz · Feb 20, 2015

I jump too much, can be predictable, and mess up my inputs in sweaty situations.

Magnum Magpie · Feb 20, 2015

Not drop and combos or setups and make sure my execution is on point aswell as my conversions... Then I will be all happy

My biggest weakness: Inconsistency, I'm either really really good or really really bad, I dont know why, I'm never just an average player, fighting me is either like playing a great player or someone who never played a FG.. and secondly sticking the game out no matter if you cant find any training partners (which was my biggest problem in MK9 and IGAU). Plenty of UK players and only played a handful of them.. hmm

My weakness is getting out of pressure, specially from the corner. Frame traps annihilate me. I barely won any matches against Cage in MK9.

My AA isn't that great either. I never mastered the standing 1/2 AA in MK9 although Sektor's t rex arms made it even more difficult than it is with most other characters.

My game is always based on mix ups and heavy combo punishes. Some of my friends mockingly call me combo master.

As a Sektor main myself, I have the exact same issues...

My #1 goal will be to not blow long johns in tournament.

What about doing it in other contexts?

REDRUM · Feb 20, 2015

not labbing enough by myself while just staying in Ranked playing randoms and not really getting better...

But my absolute biggest weakness is Time (I spend probably the least amount of time playing the actual games cause I run a IT dept at a lawfirm + 2 kids and psycho wife)...

Speaking of blowing....what do you think about mia khalifa and those death threats being that shes from your country? I find the situation very fascinating (before anyone looks her up its very very not suitable for work or in public areas to do so)

SneakyTortoise · Feb 20, 2015

For myself, I'm going to try and work on staying calm and collected during each fight. Too often I'll get worked up by my own mistakes in failing to block something or get around something and end up just getting flustered and entering a negative spiral.

In MKX I'm really going to work on just being relaxed and focussed and approaching each situation analytically and avoiding frustration.

Chaosphere · Feb 20, 2015

My biggest weakness is my on the fly risk vs reward decision making skills. I seem to always play too safe when I should have pressured, and play too aggressive when I could have stayed alive. I need to work on this, but I'm not sure how one goes about this systematically. When I'm watching, I always get it right. I can see exactly what player should or shouldn't be doing. It's just when I'm in the moment, it all just flies right out the window.

SLy · Feb 20, 2015

My spacing. Its already solid due to the fact that I play alot of footsie oriented characters in many fighting games.. But this MKX coming I want to be a Footsie GAWD.

Yea I get what you are saying here. Its really no way to systematically set it up, especially when good opponents are constantly switching up. I think this is based upon your opponents habits during offense and defense. And you would just have to decide in the moment. That within itself is a muscle that needs to be worked out to get used to it.

lol, people are morons. It's a stupid situation whereby Arabs continue to be an embarrassment by clinging to obtuse things. As if a pornstar living in the US is somehow bringing more shame to Lebanon than Lebanese people are bringing on themselves. We haven't had a president for a year now and yet people are concerned with some girl sucking cock on camera. I personally am recovering at home after a hernia operation and Mia has been a great companion in these times of boredom #LeaveMiaAlone

I was wondering where you went. She's great, but I honestly never....uh...came across her until all the controversy happened. So at least its getting her some....exposure

What I'm currently working on improving is when to be disrespectful, sometimes I feel like I play with a little too much respect. Gotta make em earn it first! Another is improving upclose pressure when there's no 50/50 involved. I tend to go on autopilot when I use Batman or Kabal. I want to get better at calculated rushdown. Good thread!

Me too sometimes I just sit there like k do it and if they dont im in a damn block infinite (not literally) its balls.

9.95 · Feb 20, 2015

For me, the biggest weakness I have is simply not playing. For whatever reasons, I never really played MK9 or IGAU, so simply playing more would resolve that. Whether I can do that or not is a different story completely, LOL.

juicepouch · Feb 20, 2015

I'm terrible at dealing with pressure, it just murders me

also i've got a bad habit of playing down to the level of my opposition. I need to find a cut throat instinct to close out games against people I'm wailing on as opposed to letting them back into the fight by being a general dumbass

trustinme · Feb 20, 2015

Biggest weakness?
not enjoying myself enough.

Saint Op Omen · Feb 20, 2015

I would like to be able to play ...maybe have people to play with...
Feel my fingers again...

Totally fair game. As long as you and your fire crotch is involved.

Remember how reliable anti-aerial attacks were in Mortal Kombat 9? Sinestro players will have to be reminded. They spam aerial axe and jump like kangaroos when you are zoning them.

Sorry that jumping is the only way to mix people up. You wouldn't know what that is like having actual 50/50's and no issue opening people up.

Koor · Feb 20, 2015

My biggest weakness is i need to stop playing NRS games online :DOGE

But no, seriously, my biggest weaknesses come from not spending enough time in the lab on my character. Ill run the usual combos/setups, but not really testing things against my opponents opposition.

Not getting sets with other players. One of the biggest reasons i havent properly learned my matchups in and out. Too much time spent in ranked, not enough time actually improving.

Yoaks · Feb 20, 2015

I need to make better reads.

I need to work on my adaption within a match. Not 5 or 6 matches in a set.

My defense is poor. It's getting somewhat better. But when a Batman player dashes in on me and does b1 and I get hit cause I think hes going overhead; I just facepalm.

I need to realize what character I'm fighting and change up my gameplan. Example would be fighting a Sinestro than in another set fighting Harley.

What weakness do you want to improve when MKX drops?
