    Breakthrough - Cyrax Cyrax is still broken.

    Seriously, I've had this for multiple years and still nobody knows how to fix him... Happy April Fools everyone.

    Question - Nimble Hanging up the business boots, looking into new green sorcery. What do I need to know?

    Hello Reptile forums. My name is STRYKIE. But, you probably already knew that. Since Warlock Quan Chi got thrown in the abyss by the armour changes I've been looking for a new character to lab monsterise (If that's even a word). Seems I've ended up on Reptile somehow. I have no prior...

    Question - TriBorg Is there a way to access the 'true' variationless Triborg?

    Just for the record, I'm not talking about Cyber Sub-Zero. I'm talking about the generic light grey Triborg you get at the character select screen without actually selecting it. What I mean by this is the default base toolset for Triborg. Cyber Sub isn't entirely variationless as for example...

    Tech - Scorpion The armchair critics were right, Scorpion is broken! Meterless unbreakable infinite setup found

    (all credit goes to @Mitsuownes for discovering this)

    Breakthrough - Ermac F43 no longer jails... and I can't figure out why.

    TL;DW - F43 now has a gap that wasn't announced in the patch notes. I don't know if this change was made in last night's hotfix or in last week's patch, only discovered it a few hours ago. As far as I know, the cancel advantage on his B3 strings, and all of his strings for that matter haven't...

    General/Other - Cryomancer A possibly perfect way to make Cryomancer relevant in the upcoming patch.

    First of all, I know there have been plenty of 'patch wishlist' threads floating around TYM in light of recent hints of a patch on social media, some already concerning Sub-Zero and even some specifically for his Cryomancer variation, but I'd like to point out this has been an idea that has...

    Question Gold Scorpion skin incompatible with physical disc version of XL

    So I have had the disc version of XL since release but also decided to keep my original MKX copy from April 2015 just for reference. One thing I noticed is that the XL disc did not seem to recognize my Gold Scorpion download, even after having all the XL specific updates installed. I figured...

    UEFA Euro 2016 Championship General Discussion Thread

    (only posting this thread in this sub-forum due to threads posted in off-topic discussion not showing up on the main forum page) So after the success of my World Cup thread 2 years ago, I'd like to cover this year's premiere football (sawker) tournament in France. Perhaps not as big as the...

    [Mar 13, 2016] Keep it Classy 7: Road to Hypespotting V (London)

    Alright guys, would like to promote a local event here from my local team Legacy of Minds which will feature Mortal Kombat XL as a main game this Sunday. Apologies for the short notice and I would've posted this sooner but needed more concrete info on the rules and regulations. If all goes to...

    Guide - Scorpion Scorpion 1.12

    - All changes from beta have stuck - D1 is now -7 on block (tested and confirmed by myself) - standing 4 has vanilla cancel advantage back - 214 teleport cancel no longer option selects on hit - Inferno got NOTHING. So Scorpion is now officially a 2 variation character for the eternity of MKXL...

    Guide - Quan Chi EO Beta Quan review: Thoughts after a week + changes I hope to see for Warlock

    Sup guys, Quan has now been in the EO beta for a week and I'd like to give some feedback on how he has changed from the current build in the game, mainly from Warlock's perspective. None of this is intended to be downplaying or whatever, just observations and criticisms on the changes...

    Should EU PS4 players just buy the US version of MKXL?

    While we won't know until it's in the actual full version of the game, signs point to the new netcode still being region locked on PS4, and I believe there may be other benefits to doing this: - KP2's content in entirety is likely to exceed £20/30 Euros anyway - Shinnok is likely to be...

    Question - Mystic What nerfs do you think Mystic Ermac will get in KP2?

    1 - Regular lift should be the same as the one in Master of Souls/Spectral. The EX version in Mystic is exactly the same as exactly the other variations, why doesn't the regular version follow this rule? Wouldn't it make more sense for Mystic to mystify it's opponent by using a -51 move with no...

    Video/Tutorial - Ninjitsu Choice of costume apparently alters hurtbox properties?

    As you can see if I try to punish B33xxClone with Ninjutsu's F2 with the tournament costume, it doesn't work, but if I pick the klassic costume, it does legit punish? In case anyone's wondering "why not just pick the klassic costume for the matchup", there's plenty of variable costumes between...

    Strategy - Shinnok List of armored reversals guaranteed to punish 3rd Hellspark/MB option on block (WIP)

    As many know, the 3rd Hellspark is always -22 on block, and like the ones before it, can be meter burned to be made +14, but also can be interrupted, and of course, some characters deal with this better than others with armor guaranteed to deal with both scenarios. I'd like to get this knowledge...

    General/Other - Scorpion Issues with Scorpion that I feel should be amended (regulations included)

    So we recently had the Scorpion assessment thread to get a community consensus about how the Scorpion forums feels about what Scorpion brings to the table across all variations, and for the most part, in terms of both pros and cons, we're generally in agreement. I have personally been playing...

    Guide - Liu Kang Current advantageous special cancel strings for Liu Kang across all variations as of July 2015

    As far as some as some of these goes, it's only a matter of when they will be nerfed, rather than if, but I'd like to compile a concrete list. This way, we can negotiate how these can go about being regulated without hurting other aspects of the string utilities variation wide as what happened...

    Breakthrough - Hellfire The prophecy has been fulfilled.

    We in there boyz. We have a safe 50/50 after all. This gives us the all clear to ask for a certain other change in the next patch without Inferno fuckbois complaining, and now nothing can stop the Shirai Ryu at EVO*. *2016 *Yeah, this is extremely fucking difficult. *I'm almost certain it's a...

    Guide - Scorpion A concise, correct list of what the latest patch has changed for Scorpion.

    Okay, so outside of the Ninjutsu buffs, NRS have been very unclear on what else they have changed, and has lead to a lot of misinformation from Scorpion players themselves, even claiming Hellfire's FBC pressure has been completely nullified. Now, the FBC pressure has been altered, but like I...
