    MK1 Invasions Mode: (It Sucks)

    IMO this season is much better. The lack of armor makes it more entertaining, and I'm using "auto level" to keep it from becoming trivially easy. I see a lot of potential here, honestly.

    New Xbox Policy That Will Block All Unofficial Xbox Accessories

    Sony has the same policy, right?

    MK1 Patch Notes

    The patch changes were really minor. Scaling changes, meter cost changes, and slightly different combo routes. "Creativity" isn't impacted at all, Cyrax is still good, you can still use 2 kameos in a combo... people are hella overreacting.

    Mortal Kombat 1 Has Player 1 Advantage

    It's like the SF6 throw escape bug. They'll fix it and it'll be fine. For now. just make sure your combos work on P2.

    I use K 1 2 T B 3 4 S I like having my thumb over block and use index/middle/ring for everything else.

    MK1 Invasions Mode: (It Sucks)

    I'm on the last mesa, and I feel overall Invasions are... kinda bland? The armor doesn't really bother me, what does bother me is that it's trivially easy. I don't mind playing against the CPU, either. I can happily play towers all day, but almost every battle in Invasions is over in seconds...

    MK1 (2023) Gameplay Mechanics Discussion

    Upblock isn't a flawless block and the timing isn't difficult. IMO it's going to be the primary tool for blowing up predictable jump-ins. This is very different tho, agreed. I think in most cases ducking a high and punishing with a traditional grounded punish will be more damaging and cheaper...

    MK1 (2023) Gameplay Mechanics Discussion

    Upblock seems like it's a better solution for jump ins. It costs less and likely leads to more damage. SylverRye only mentions high attacks here. Does this also work against overheads? I guess we'll find out soon.

    Two bars, huh? Pretty expensive, but I suppose it'll be a good investment in certain situations.

    Mortal Kombat 1 Tanya face model found - Sydney Cross

    This is not remotely true. They don't care about making kids on twitter mad they care about not alienating mature/female customers. Social media is melting your brain.

    Mortal Kombat 1 Tanya face model found - Sydney Cross

    I... uhh... didn't say that. I said this: You added the "anyone who didn’t like it" and "what losers etc". I stand by what I said, too. If someone thinks this character looks like she's related to Baraka or is disfigured, I think they have a very narrow acceptable beauty standard for women...

    Mortal Kombat 1 Tanya face model found - Sydney Cross

    The model is very pretty and she looks cool in the game. I have no idea wtf some of you are on about. Not every female character in every game exists solely to sexually excite you personally.

    Why ain't we had a female Guest?

    You should give the Peacemaker show a try. I don't really like comic-inspired media, generally, but Peacemaker was one of the funniest things I've ever seen on TV.

    Mortal Kombat 1 - Official Umgadi Trailer

    That ball of light following Tanya around (starts at 0:55)... any ideas? It seems like she might "cash it out" to teleport/parry at 2:03.

    Recommend me a game by posting a song from its soundtrack

    Still great! And free! Play the remake! The only thing that's better about the original is the ost. Probably the best writing ever in a video game. "An elderly man was sitting alone on a dark path, right? He wasn't certain of which direction to go, and he'd forgotten both where he was...

    Is there another fanbase so ready to scream “NERF” as MK’s?

    Pretty much every community for a game with asymmetric characters or factions. I play Warhammer Fantasy and Age of Sigmar, and I've heard people calling for nerfs before their first game was done. In 40k's new edition, a faction was banned from tournaments before the game was even available.

    Unpopular Opinion : If they increase dash speed and other movement options, the entire game will break and become unplayable.

    I largely agree. The speed is definitely intentional. Major changes to move speed would break the system. Slight changes to the "snappiness" of the dashes and faster transitions out of throw animations are all that are needed (and likely all they will do). There are ways to make it "feel"...
