    Match-up Discussion Dear TYM, matchup discussion is terrible and needs to change

    I agree with the OP as well. This isn't just a TYM thing btw, and some forums are already doing the things you've suggested like having separate threads for in depth MU talk. Well making a video solves all that, lol. Gathering facts and realistic scenarios is far more important in MU...

    Grodd is broke. The relationship between Stampede Cancel and 22.

    No problem. I definitely agree it's cool to have those kinds of characters, but I'm also certain that the players who do seek out those characters are in the minority. On top of the fact that it's really only the players who play that character that can truly appreciate the difficulty of their...

    Grodd is broke. The relationship between Stampede Cancel and 22.

    I actually have to disagree on this point. I really think most people, (players AND spectators alike), are way more engrossed in stuff outside execution barriers. The mindgames. Reads. Reactions. Baits. Combos. Resets. Mixups. Comebacks. Etc. All that special stuff that has little to do with...

    General/Other - Mileena Fun with Mileena and X-Rays.

    Jacqui's X-Ray whiffs on any crouch move... even though it's technically a mid. It's actually unsafe if you, (being mindful of her meter and the distance she can travel), mash a low poke to trigger armor and then full combo punish after recovery, lol. The Mileena one is actually explainable by...

    Discussion The Nerfed to "Sh*t" & "Now Useless" Stigma

    I'm aware that EX Fade is most definitely an S-Tier tool. Even made a vid on it. I just feel like it plays out much different in game than it sounds on paper. (Assuming again, that ground hitting Roll requires meter to launch). The placing of EX Fade and its potential conversions are the key...

    Discussion The Nerfed to "Sh*t" & "Now Useless" Stigma

    Gotta disagree with you on Ethereal and meter. Ethereal was already Meter reliant as is. The point I believe Skedar was making, was that if you Revesal EX Fade to escape pressure/bait whiffs/etc, you will now be spending another for MB Roll as a punish. 2 bars for one defensive decision...

    Balance Change Teasers Explained by Mitsuownes

    Woooow really? I never understood this mentality. Ever. Why in the world would you quit due to your character being at her best? I get that none of us expected the backlash she got, but my god... If there was ever a time to main her...

    Balance Change Teasers Explained by Mitsuownes

    It wouldn't be broken really, assuming the scaling works like it did in MK9. She got EX Roll into reg Roll relaunches then too.

    Strategy - Mileena 10/04 mileena change discussion

    As for the rest of the gif. It's a wait-and-see from me. It may be an AA-only nerf and she still gets standing Roll combos. (I seriously doubt she'll be able to MB Roll on block to stay safe, but I guess it's a possibility.) This is basically what I worried might be the bigget issue with the...

    Strategy - Mileena 10/04 mileena change discussion

    This is the only part of your post I'm calling into question. How is Ethereal going to "efficiently turtle" without EX Fade? She doesn't have checks like Low Sai in this variation and reg fade isn't the most practical getaway option as I'm sure you well know. Part of the effectiveness of the...

    General/Other - Mileena Low Profiling Mids & Lows

    The problem is the hitbox on the "mids". Not Roll. There are a number of mids in the game that stuff Roll, but the ones that don't are similar in that they have a higher hitbox. Kotal's D3 damn near hits the person's chin.

    Where are all the women at?

    Lol. Welp, if someone ended up writing up an "FGC is sexist" expose, they were probably already thinking it anyway. Besides, the Sexist view would be saying women weren't capable of competing. I even went out of my way to write that there were exceptions. What's a guy to do? Lol. On another...

    Where are all the women at?

    Wasn't this thread's question in the context of fighting games? To be fair, I didn't read the last 5 pages through, so maybe it got derailed into every competitive field ever made, ever.

    Where are all the women at?

    Yeah, seems as though the majority of women who looooove playing video games, do so to "bond" rather than "compete". Co-Op games are where it's at for them, since they'd rather play WITH you and not AGAINST you. The few who are really into the FGC scene usually grew up with brothers or fathers...

    General/Other - Mileena My Balance Suggestions

    To be fair, Ravenous, as far back as I can remember, has NEVER been a counterpick variation vs any character. Ever. Ravenous was a playstyle counterpick vs those who thought ducking vs Mileena beats her. Or those who were used to her being unsafe on her special cancels. Piercing and Ethereal...

    General/Other - Mileena My Balance Suggestions

    But there's no low to block. Roll is a mid. I've personally never had an issue blocking this if I read the first OH correctly. The only argument I could see is that the move having multiple hits breaks armor. But then it's not like she's the only character that can do that.

    General/Other - Mileena My Balance Suggestions

    Is Ravenous not good up close for offensive play anymore? Didn't they make High pounce better on distance and on block as a decent special cancel? Even then, aside from corner combos where else does Piercing really beat out Ravenous in damage? If damage is the problem, then that might be the...

    General/Other - Mileena My Balance Suggestions

    @YOMI RM SaltFace B1,2 being -5, I dunno about that, but it could be ok as long as there's no nerf to B1 recovery as well. Piercing does revolve around B12 string, so nerfing the full string AND staggers seems a bit much. To me it's either one or the other. Mileena guessing with unsafe shit...
