TYM has been a funny site in the last month. A strange wave of consideration and opinion pushing has come across the community, and really it leaves the ultimate question; do we as a community and a majority LIKE this game? Having listened to a bradycast recently, CDjr gave the advice that we...

Since the last patch, most people are aware of the buff CT Kano received regarding his Blade Slice (db1) move, which went from -8 to -5. Since this buff, we've seen a lot of examples of the move being used when it would never be used before, such as in block strings, as a footsies tool, or to...

I've been playing with Ermac for a couple of weeks now and I really love the characters design (Master of Souls at least). He's so swaggy, hits like a truck in MoS, and he's an honest character doing an honest days work. But there a few design decisions regarding the character that really leave...

Under the pretense of 'video or it didn't happen', here is a poor-quality video of me dropping combos and inputs to the tune of some thoughts on Dualist's heal move. I don't actually care if it's the worst move or not, it sucks regardless, and yes this is a shameless buff-request thread...

f44 FBRC =+8 B12 FBRC = -0 F213 FBRC = +13 112 FBRC = +10 F12 = 0 B34 = +10 44 = +10 Thanks @xarakamaka for blowing up my execution :p

Hey guys, just thought I'd share some of my findings regarding Ronin Takeda with you. The Ronin discussion has been very minimal since release, and whilst I'm sure it is known that Ronin can cancel strings into Quick Kall to make them safe, I haven't seen anything about the frame data behind it...

I'm sure a lot of the Quan players are aware, but those of us who don't play him may not be aware. Sorcerer Quan has the ability to place spell circles on the stage, and this is pertaining to the armour spell in particular. The circle allows one hit of armour every 3-4 seconds, but if Quan...

Firstly, this is not about the block infinite, obviously it had to go. Liu Kang has received several small nerfs that although appear minor, may have a big impact on him. He now has a relatively slow d1 at 9 frames, his d3 was given an extra start-up frame, f1 is now no longer a 5f jab...

At a small promotional event in London last week, representatives from NRS were on hand to demo a more current playable build of the game. A tournament was also held, which our old friend PND Ketchup ultimately won. TYM's @Phosferrax attended the event and was able to spend some quality time...

Here's a bunch of videos of some stuff that I haven't seen anyone doing with Zatanna so I thought I'd share. Some of it's probably known by some, but I don't see any sense in not publishing useful stuff if it's not widely known. Firstly, for anyone that doesn't already, confirm your strings...

So I've finally recorded the 50/50 option that GA has in the corner. When a character is in the frozen state after being hit by an ice arrow, you can reset the combo by loading another arrow. From this, you have a low (stinger) and an overhead (b2,3) launcher option, both plus on block if you...

Some numbers that you may or not agree with. I'll probably disagree with them depending on what day of the week it is, but the forums are boring lately so I'll keep myself entertained with this. Ares: 5-5 Aquaman: 3-7 Bane: 7-3 Batgirl: 4-6 Batman: 5-5 Black Adam: 4-6 Catwoman: 5-5 Cyborg: 6-4...

Anyone who plays against Zatanna should know how much bs she has in the corner, the worst of all being the button-randomizing that happens after you're reset by a non-mb puppet master. Since a lot of people don't play against Zatanna, and the ones that I play are still struggling with it, I...

From the gameplay trailers I can see that D'Vorah's 3 variations are: 'Swarm Queen - adds vortex swarm and wasp grenade.' A group of insects hover around her. The wasp grenade move can be meter burned for a big jump-in combo. 'Venomous - adds bug burst and ovipositor based attacks poison on...

From the gameplay videos I can see that the 3 variations are: 'Ruthless - adds Pain and Gain ability which increases Torr's damage output.' Access to a special move which makes Ferra stab Torr, draining 10-15% of health and increasing his damage output for a short time. 'Vicious - adds Boss...

For some reason I feel deeply that FKjr needs a nickname like he needs his next breath of air, also it's fun. What do you think TYM? Forever Prince? Forever Jr? Forever Young?

I've tried and tried to come up with a practical use for electric arrows that justify stocking them over the other 2 types, but I just can't find anything. I thought maybe its use comes from the corner, but as usual the payoff is vastly less than ice arrow and push block destroys any corner...

I have noticed that cyborg's 2~sd doesn't combo on a crouching opponent. They recover on hit quicker when crouched so they are able to take the hit of 2 but still block the SD. I use 2-sd in neutral situations a lot and this diminishes it's use somewhat. Not a massive thing, but it's something...

I was thinking about changes I would like to see in the next MK game and I considered 'throws' in this game. I was wondering what TYM thinks about the throw system, particularly: the damage, the positioning, teching throws, so I'd like to hear everyone's opinions. Please to not mention anything...

Right, the ex-soul steal has now lost a lot of credibility and Shang's wake-up game just got even worse. I was aware that the second hit of SS was block-able, I was however unaware that in the corner, once an opponent blocks the second hit of the soul steal they can fully combo Shang before he...
