What could they do to that knife tossing skank?
Jade could glow through knives and force her to play footsies with her and cover a ton of ground. She outranged her, and even had safe options to go to. Her throw infinite also allowed her to always have a chance at making up life at any chance, whereas Sareena's only infinite is an air cancel inf, which scales hard. It's not terrible, but Sareena struggles.

Sareena is the one character Scorpion can reliably do double hellfire to...so she can get outdamaged in the full screen game if she's not careful. Plus, because of hellfire's huge advantage, Scorpion can cover ground on a landed one well and play offense. He has one of the safer sets of h2h normals, so the pressure is safe-ish. He also has unbreakable options out the ass, so he's not caught in 1/2 screen if he lands stray hits, where Sareena works better than him. It's not easy for Scorpion to do this, but played well, he's pretty much at the advantage.

Are there any more good match videos or footage to be found?

I loved this game, but never really saw much high level play. It's pretty awesome.

The game is completely different offline vs. online and I don't think there's much offline footage outside of Check 's youtube channel.

Couldn't Scorpion do the 33 air infinite? It's hard but definitely possible with enough practice.

Oh god these characters in mk9 would be so good lol. Did jade have good damage in this game, or was her damage from the throw shenanigans and long range?

Outside of the infinite, her damage wasn't bad either. Like in the 40s.

Roge, Scorpion, I don't believe had the 33 infinite. The 33 infinite, IIRC, doesn't really work offline outside of 2-player side.

Was Kah-bawl and Liu Kang viable?
Kabal had one of the best punishers in spin, despite being slowed down. Alongside some solid zoning and normals. He also had the hookswords 4/u2 50/50. No air fireball, though. Not a bad character at all.

Liu Kang is good...he's actually similar to his MK9 incarnation, excluding parry, dragon stance and air fireball. His weapon stance is pretty solid for rushdown, too, and the best air combat set in weapon.

Skarlet who ?
It did lol. Dunno why they didn't just give Reptile Crab again.
Same thoughts about Sub-Zero's body freeze move, Bo'Rai Cho red costume, Moloch's ball, and Onaga's flying power bomb move. And dem Power Ups. Shit was hilarious. #nostalgic
