Yeah, I think they'll make it like this:
Injustice: Gods Among Us
Dat space controlling.
This would possibly be the best solution, someone send this message to NRS, and by someone I mean someone who keeps in touch with them.

"Solution" kind of implies there is a problem. This isn't even an issue yet. The game isn't even close to out.This would possibly be the best solution, someone send this message to NRS, and by someone I mean someone who keeps in touch with them.
I think it is a problem because is counterintuitive, you know, trying to block an attack and start running instead, well... I mean if sometimes you press the block button to actually block and sometimes you press it to run and go straight to get punished, then it is at least an unnecesary complexity that could be avoided by implementing the idea our fellow TYM user, Dark, suggested.
stance switch makes sense htough... he has a point... that button could prove to actually have utility.
please don't start this. this is a family friendly thread.
From what I saw in Casselman's post, I don't think this is the case. He said you can hit forward twice, and don't need to still be holding forward in order to press block and cancel into a run. I guess you can say it's possible to input the forwards, let go, and then press block within the 5 frame window- but that's such a tight window it might as well be the same as an Injustice bounce cancel command. Saying "you no longer need to be holding forward when you press the block button to dash" infers enough time has passed between inputting the dash and blocking that it's probably not limited to just the very-early startup.
If they want us to walk more, that's fine.
There's a huge difference between having to commit to a dash, which I also welcome, and having the same button utilized for the polar opposite actions of blocking after that dash to bait something or running headfirst into whatever it is you were trying to bait. Block is a defensive mechanic and running leaves you free as a bird. There's no way dashing into both should be accomplished with the same button, especially taking latency and lag into account with online play.MK players will definitely have to adapt.
I for one welcome this change because I always like the idea of having to commit to unsafe reads. Plus there will also be the stamina to manage so you'll have to think a lot more about your mobility options.
Being able to cancel dashes is an anomaly in fighting games. Play SF for a bit you'll get used to it. It's not a big deal. It's just going to be funny to see MK9 players running head first into random X-rays LOL.
Not that I've played it, but I think the concept is if you're getting a run, your dash wasn't over, and you wouldn't be able to block anyway. People might think they're being cheated out of their blocks by accidental runs at first, but I think the learning curve is going to be understanding (like Injustice) that without dash cancelling, an NRS style full distance dash is a pretty unsafe thing.Some people still pushing for hopes of a "dash cancel" lol I actually don't mind NRS's newer philosophy on the no dash cancelling. People that want that run button just want a tool to cancel into block(a la UMK3) I think if anything this game while it may be easier than MK 9 to get in via the running, better dashing etc will also favor or at least be fitted for more zoning and defensive players, because they confirmed if you dash run you can't cancel it into block it's a commitment lol.
They can probably tweak the mechanic so that people don't dash instead or block or accidentally run I mean in MK X, however the change at first I wasn't sure how I felt but I support it because honestly MK 9 at times turned WAY too defensive and I didn't like how you could cancel certain moves that were already pretty damn safe (ie Reptile's dash, KL's spin etc) I know they fixed it but it took a ton of updates to do so. Personally, I'd like it if they made more general cancelling moves like Raiden's electric ball I heard from Casselman that they made it so you can cancel it(like MK vs. DCU he had that option) as someone who mained him in that game, it was VERY useful. Same for say Rain's super kick(I know geyser but I call it super lol) Sektor's doggy leg, Ermac's back2, Sub's back2 etc, etc it makes for tons of mind games.
They actually could use any button for that, although I haven't played NRS games for a while and I can't think of any examples besides something like f2/f2d for Bane. Also something with KL's horizontal hat.
That sounded wrong.
