    I want to pick up Sindel and I have some questions

    Ive never played Sindel in any game but she looks like a lot of fun here. So, I come to you all as a humble noob with a few questions. My playstyle is very much aggressive so I was wondering what are the plus strings (or combination of strings) that is best to maintain pressure? I see that she...

    We could potentially use this...

    Specifically the first 4min with Darrius. I can imagine how Darrius's move would work well with the 11-frame low (this video makes me realize how much there is to discover with the kameos ))

    My fears for the MK movie have been realized...kinda (spoiler tags included)

    Quote from my gf who knows nothing of MK (aka the bulk of their audience): "The white chick is useless" "Actors suck ass" "Story is confusing" As an MK fan, 9/10, but as a movie, its a 5-6/10 for me. Average really. My initial fear was that there are too many characters to be able to properly...

    The MK movie better not take the Dark Universe direction...But I fear it might

    I understand they want to build a movie universe ala Marvel but here's what Im worried about, they try to shove in way too many things for a first movie. The MK movie needs to be contained, with smaller stakes, while focusing on a select few, if not just one, character. The tournament shouldnt...

    How I finally understood why I will never be a pro at this game

    (Maybe some of you might see yourself in this who knows) I think Im pretty good at MK11 and those who have played against me on TYM would concur (at least I hope lol). But that day, my Frost wasn't just losing against this Kabal player, I was getting thoroughly massacred, with him sitting at a...

    So I got my ass kicked by a Kabal player....

    I'm making this thread because I want to understand what I did wrong. Specifically, I recognize that some of my decisions (to press buttons or not for ex) messed me up. However, is there something in my opponent's gameplay that I could have taken advantage of? Like was he pressing buttons when...

    Most optimal Spawn Kustom?

    So now that Kustoms are available, what have you guys been experimenting with? What is his most optimal overall best Kustom variation? Let's figure it out I tested out Kustom 1 and 2. I want to test out Kustoms 3 and 4: Kustom 1 (Charge, Command grab) The damage here is great because of the...

    Most optimal Kustom variation for LK

    So I was wondering what combo of abilities you all have tested and which one is the most optimal variation. I'm a WSL main and love the mobility and anti-zoning abilities this variation offers. At the same time it's pressure is clearly lacking. LQ is arguably best of the tourney variations...

    Most Optimal Frost Kustom?

    So with kustoms coming, I was thinking what is the strongest Frost kustom we can come up with. I have a few ideas and hopefully we can find the version that gives the most bang for the buck. Im mainly familiar with the tourney variations so other moves like her Core trap or Burrowing auger are a...

    Got my ass kicked by F0xy Grampa and learned a few things

    5 games Frost/LK vs Sub-Zero, lost all of them (LK faired particularly worse than frost - using WSL variation and his knowledge of the MU, probably didnt help lol) but came close with Frost and I realized that he had 3 main things I didnt have during the course of this short set. Patience...

    The many wake-up options of MK11. An overblown complaint...

    I hear people complain about all the different wake-ups in MK11. I dont see all those options as problematic and maybe it has to do with the way I conceptualize the game, so I figured Id share it here. In MK11, you can wake up in 9 ways (5 if you have no defensive meter) Buttons (start a...

    Liu Kang Pressure Flowchart (Specifically for WSL but can be a base for other variations)

    So while thinking of the optimal way to pressure with Liu Kang, I decided to create this flowchart (im very visual so perhaps this can help others as well) Or, if you see something that doesnt make sense in your mind, let me know and lets discuss the richness of this character's tools! I try to...

    Frost match-up: Kaballsack

    I have so much trouble dealing with this douchebag, I'm hoping someone can help me out Some fun facts about this pos: B1 is 15f mid with really good range & a block adv of -2 or -3 depending on the distance, so his distance control rivals Frosts' F2 is 12f mid with really good range & a block...

Mainly from the regular frost players but anybody who wants to chime in, please do! @vegeta , @scarsunseen , @NYCj360 , @JSF , @Marinjuana , @santanabar , @Wigy A few things I noticed I need to work on: I...

    NRS didn't fix the fundamental issue with Frost-Byte.

    Let me preface by saying I really want to be proven wrong here. I also really want to play this variation because it reminds me of Cyber Sub Zero and it was initially going to be my main. IMO, NRS put a bandaid on a severed leg with this variation. Its biggest problem is still the lack of...

    Frost Flawless block guide

    Tired of getting pressured? Flawless block them! Except for Kabal, fuck that guy. Basically, every string that is worth flawless blocking is here. Some times, the pushback leaves you too far to go for the BnB Fb combo so there are other versions that do less damage but reach further. I tested...
