    Question re: downplay

    Stop being an armchair critic.

    Why is Kabal's FB better than everyone eles's?

    When you’re arguing the difficulty of a punish after a maximum of a few days of beta gameplay (a build in which Jade looked noticeably unfinished I might add), and training mode was completely inaccessible, yes, judgement should be reserved until release. Also, a Kabal mirror never happened at...

    Mortal Kombat 11 Trophy List Revealed

    When I first read this interview when it first went up, it felt like he dodged the ‘unlock’ part for a reason. Maybe the characters in question are just secret fights in the arcade tower ala classic Reptile, Smoke, Jade etc were in MK9?

    Tournament Play: Disabling Interactables

    I personally can live without the wall run interactables (I actually forgot about them until I saw other players using them in the beta lmao), but the problem with this is, to switch interactables off, don’t both players have to agree to it? Having to explain to every single player I’d play in...

    Question Who is the 3rd most popular ninja?

    Onaga might have something to do with him not being around in MK11, cause that's the only other time he's missed out on the main roster since becoming playable in main MK games. MK11's story mode will probably explain something about it one way or the other.

    Question Who is the 3rd most popular ninja?

    In terms of the mass market, Reptile is still the next most popular ninja by quite some margin. No amount of forum fodder will change that. NRS have just ran out of plot roles for him to be part of the MK11 main roster. I don't really have a problem with Ermac, Noob or Rain, their biggest...

    Konquer menu guy (Who is he?)

    As for the topic, if this is a younger/different incarnation of a returning character, in theory he could be Kenshi before he was blinded? Although Shang actually did outright introduce himself to him so that wouldn't really match up. Either way, I hope there's plenty of interesting plot twists...

    This was a missed opportunity to proclaim "your joke is mine".

    HOT TAKE: The cyborg in the Noob Saibot trailer is Hydro and he will be DLC down the line.

    Hotter take: what if this is Bi-Han from a timeline where he wasn't killed by Scorpion and doesn't turn into Noob Saibot, but ended up being part of the cyber initiative anyway? Bit of a galaxy brain reach, but until we get some actual confirmation.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Kotal Kahn Pre-Release Discussion

    Some opinions on actors will always be subject to the first role you saw/heard them in, sure, but as someone that first heard Phil LaMarr as Vamp in Metal Gear Solid 2, his work as Kotal is hardly out of the ordinary IMO.

    Post-Stress Test Gameplay Poll (14 Questions) - Meant to Help NRS

    Take a look at this clip for a minute: Think anyone ever would've found it hype if the Ryu player was allowed to just block for that whole sequence? Nope. Personally I would advocate Flawless Block specifically doing this kind of thing, but people shouldn't be given a trivial crutch for...

    Do you think the next NRS game after MK11, it will be injustice 3?

    For those saying NRS should just skip over making a new game in favour of supporting MK11 for a longer time period, yeah, sorry, that's not gonna happen. The 2 year cycle has been a thing all the way back to MKDA (only MK9 has deviated from it, by 5 months). And with the likelihood of at least...

    Casuals flip-flopping: MK11 gameplay now "feels slow and limited"

    If it merely "seems like" they sped up movement, then it's probably not enough for a discernible difference (either way, to be fair). Even if universal movement is sped up, that could still mean it's still relatively slow compared to a lot of other fighting games. Granted, I think people are...

    Mortal Kombat 11 Official Story Trailer Released!

    Why do the eyes suggest it's Jax? I dunno if I'd say he's white per se but it is overall an unusually light skin tone compared to Jax's previous character models.

    DBF input in MK11

    Haven't seen enough moves to know if there's none whatsoever with the DBF input, but I think the frustrating thing about inputs of this nature is that the characters that usually have them, have plenty of other input vacancy to map them to. It's like NRS even conceded this when they made Sun God...
