    The State of Zoning and Overall Strategy in Mortal Kombat 1

    As of 11/18, the following are my takes on the zoning of certain characters and their miscellaneous tools. Ashrah – mid-range Goddess and most likely the best character on this list. I honestly have nothing witty to say that you have not read or seen about this character already. Ashrah is...

    The Gradual Simplification of Fighting Games

    Sonic Fox opened a can of worms a couple of days ago when they tweeted that Guilty Gear Strive feels "limited", alluding to initial concerns that the game had been simplified in contrast to previous Guilty Gear games that were more demanding to play. I cannot opine on the nuances because I never...

    What will Mortal Kombat 11's legacy be if there are no more Kombat Packs/patches?

    My co-hosts and I were discussing this topic on one of the previous podcast episodes. Let us entertain the thought that this version of Mortal Kombat 11 is the final one because NRS is currently working on a new project. Where do you rank Mortal Kombat 11 alongside Mortal Kombat 9 and X, and...

    Razors (still) do not function properly.

    I know I made another thread about the razors' lack of functionality almost a year ago, but please hear me out. I was watching @DarksydeDash (Highborn Kitana) fight Scar (Lotus Fight) very late last night and I noticed that the second hit of the razors would randomly whiff after b+1,4 on a...

    Examining and Contrasting Fujin's Frame Data

    I see lots of questions and confusion about Fujin's frame data so I did some research and decided to create this thread without the drama and insults. Beginning with the jab, 1 starts up in 7 frames. 1,1,u+4 is -4 on block and has the "Rain super kick" krushing blow, but you cannot combo. The...

    Sonic Fox's criticism of Mortal Kombat 11

    I am performing a breakaway on Cherny's videos and threads to post about someone else's criticism of Mortal Kombat 11. According to Sonic Fox, the game is "godlike" because of its focus on neutral gameplay, but breakaway ought to be "deleted", fatal blows ought to have no push back on block, and...

    How do you rate the patches, the hotfixes, and the balance changes?

    As the title of the thread asks, how do you rate the patches, the hotfixes, and the balance changes? In other words, how do you rate NRS's job in the past 11 months? Have NRS developers listened to the community's feedback and addressed concerns? Have they designed a balanced fighting game up to...

    Tom Brady: "Winning in fighting games was more difficult in the 90s".

    To sum up and paraphrase the argument, Tom states that "90%" of the competitive audience only played fighting games in the 90s, although I would like to see evidence for this assertion. The premise that he makes is that players currently have more "options" because of the ascension of other...

    So many individuals in the community are demanding that Johnny Cage be normalized after two dominating performances by Sonic Fox at ECT and Ninja Killer at NEC. The following are my arguments in favor of allowing the character to remain the same for the time being. - According to Eventhubs...
