Was just setups setups and more setups. Had characters that were fairly retarded in matchups once you got the execution down (with characters like zod) very little in the way of footsies. Felt like who can get there dial-a-setup out first the entire game, with strong ass zoning and terrrrrible movement.
Dude if 'better' for you just means more balanced then congratulations. There are a variety of reasons as to why I think the other two games - IGAU especially - are 'better'. This is a fighting game, not GTA. You can have all the bells and whistles you want but at the end of the day the most important thing is the fighting - the gameplay. If I think that the others are fighting games with better gameplay than MKX then I'm obviously gonna think that they're better.
Lol this must be the most well written utterly wrong post I've ever seen here.
Yes it can. It's up there with evolution and gravity. Another fact: Tekken Tag Tournament 2 has an infinitely better cast than MKX.
No. It's my fact. Read OP
I don't disagree.
Why do you think injustice is better?
I know, I just threw the extra content and presentation in there as a bonus. The main reason why MKX is better than IGAU and MK9, or at least just as good, is because it is way more balanced. How can you say the gameplay in MK9 is as good as MKX's or better when you have so many characters that simply cannot compete? So many cases where the game is just a pain in the ass rather than fun. All the ridiculous zoning and such. That's what I'm referring to. That's bad gameplay, extremely bad gameplay. If you want to say MKX is just OK in your opinion, that's fine, but you would have to at least say MK9 is only OK as well. I'm not sure about Injustice because I never played it, but from what I've read on it, it also had very poor balance. MKX is clearly a good game, it's just not everyone's cup of tea in its current state for whatever reason.
No. I really love all the NRS games. Id still be playing all of them if they got support/updates.
On the other hand, now
I see the light.
no its not. look at my meme
There were plenty footsies at a high level. Slips, Hobeybee, Blind ducky, WoundCowboy, etc. watch their matches
Thanks? lol I have a feeling your disapproval of my post is just due to a misunderstanding. My point is that you cannot say MKX is just an ok or bad fighting game while also saying MK9 is a good one. The objective qualities of the 2 clearly point them out to be at least equally good or bad. But if someone says they simply prefer MK9's style of gameplay over MKX, then that's understandable, but saying it's better just because you like it better does not change the fact that it has fewer objectively good qualities, like the extremely poor balance.
Off of the top of my head, back-to-block (personal preference), much better online experience (for me), more archetypes, more unique characters due to traits, better defensive options, more accommodating to different playstyles, way more things to find meaning I don't get bored as quickly, towers are ass (least important) and probably other reasons
Not true as you'll see in my future thread. The top tier in this game is made up of characters who have some sort of highly effective block pressure. 1 bar block breakers will drop them a tier, which they deserve because they're not only overpowered generally but they also create awful gameplay, either making it a guessing game or making it so you have to eat guaranteed chip damage for long enough that you can tape down the right trigger, fall asleep, and wake up by the time they finish. Characters with 50/50s will be hurt less, but with characters with multiple 50/50s in one block string, or characters like Quan who can do a 50/50, become plus with a bar, and then do another 50/50, you can simply block the first attack and break it, not giving them the opportunity to do their next 50/50. If you block a JIP, the opponent has enough plus frames to do their 50/50 with no risk. But if you don't want to take that 50/50, just block break that JIP and you are instantly put back into a neutral situation, which is fair because the opponent will still have the advantage because they have stamina and you don't.
Like i said it will make kung worse as well as tanya. But ir will make quan, predator, takeda much better. It will just be a trade off
Predator will get worse because he also thrives on block pressure in the Hish Qu Ten variation if I'm not mistaken. So does Takeda, and so does Quan with his MB rune. And don't want to deal with his hard to blockables? Block break the first one so you don't have to block the second one. Summoner needs to be nerfed anyways. 1 bar block breakers would improve the game's balance and fun levels far more than they would to hurt it, and it's a very simple change. Tremor, Tanya, Predator, Tremor, DF Liu Kang, A List Johnny, Takeda, Shinnok, etc. all become more balanced instantly with this change. It also nerfs grabs since grabbing your opponent gives them a ton of meter which can then be used to block break, so pressure characters like Lao will no longer be grabbing as often because they know they're giving them free meter to get out of their pressure. 1 bar block breakers also make comebacks much more do-able and they will also help matches last longer which people have complained about. It's obviously a necessary change for this game.
You cannot claim on one hand that the "objective qualities" of a game make it better, while on the other hand claim that the qualities that one would state make the other game better are "a preference". All that shows is that you are trying to pass off your bias opinion as fact.
That's not what I'm saying though, of course I can understand all of that. I did misspeak a little when I said MKX is better than Injustice because the roster is more balanced. The point I was trying to make is that, let's say MKX had the exact same qualities that you just described for Injustice, but someone said Injustice is a good game and MKX is an ok or bad game because it has a run button and the interactables are blockable. What they're saying is that they just don't enjoy MKX for its few differences from Injustice, but comparing the objective qualities of the two games like balance, content, netcode, character variation, etc. the games are both good. I can understand why people prefer MK9 over MKX, but considering how terrible the balance was, which is a factually bad quality that hinders the gameplay, it is not reasonable to say MK9 is a better game than MKX. I don't know about Injustice because I never played it or followed its scene, but as far as MKX and MK9 go, you simply cannot say MK9 is a better game.
