What defines MKX's gameplay most to you?

[GGA Jeremiah]

These 3 choices come to my mind immediately when people talk about MKX gameplay. I honestly can't decide which one defines it more. Help me decide please.

 

[errormacro7]

50/50s

 

[Ninequads93]

This game is all about Advancing 50/50s with too much block stun

 

[scrubbyCK]

50/50s, wrong guess you're out at least 30%.

 

[xWildx]

First thing that sprung to my mind was, "cornered."

 

[Wigy]

Dirt dirt and more dirt, but its okay cause everyone has dirt.

 

[xInfra Deadx]

The blockstun...ugh.

Do other fighting games have block stun like this? I can't stand not being able to punish things that should be punishable because I have to wait for an animation to finish. I don't know how they could fix it though.

@FireBreather

Lol

I got the best Runsies

Why is their only negative choices?

Shouldn't this title be "what I hate most" or "what annoys me the most?"

Im not going at your thread I just think there could being a more appropriate thread title IMO

"What annoys me the most" is blockstun

Revolves around a string (and a special for some characters) and how well you create situations these 2 moves excel at. 3 moves if you have 50/50

I've reached a point where if I see a B1 is not the character's best move, this character probably sucks

First thing that sprung to my mind was, "cornered."

Really though, why did they make the stages so small in this game? 75% or more of the game takes place in the corner

 

[The Highlander]

50/50's aren't the problem. They are present in every single fighter ever. Don't know why you guys rage about them. If anything pressure is far more overbearing than 50/50's in mkx. The weird ass blockstun in this game drives me insane though...

I would add meter management to this list. I feel that keeping with your stamina and ex meter can make or break you in a lot of matches

 

[RoboCop]

I would say advancing strings, but that's really only until you get into the corner, then it's 50/50's for days.

 

[PapaRegadetho]

If you think that blockstun is cheaper than 50/50s that lead in to another 50/50s then you're out of your mind.

 

[Slips]

The run mechanic is what separates MKX from nearly all 2D fighting games.

 

[GAV]

Smashing faces, breaking bones, displacing tendons and ligaments, and putting vital organs under great stress...

 

[EntropicByDesign]

Combos. Dial-in combos define MK to me. Shrug.

 

[Lt. Boxy Angelman]

First thing that sprung to my mind was, "cornered."

This. I can live with putting up with all 3 of those things, but it seems like there are FAR more fights that spend their majority in the corner than aren't. Lack of a defensive meta drives people away from the midscreen duel and into a race for corner pressure.

 

[Thanilla Ice]

The lag....



...wait, that defines NRS
