Is MKX a 50/50 game ?

[Rip Torn]

Was delayed wake up an option in MK9, I did not play it enough to know.

Yes. It's also in MKX. Apparently it will be more useful in MKX due to weaker wakeups.

Playing against @DarthArma and his Erron Black made me realize that MKX is heavy rushdown and 50/50s. I think Erron honestly could use a slight nerf because his strings start either low or overhead into low which is a serious pain in the ass. However, with my Kano I was able to win a majority/or half of the matches and Kano doesn't have any overheads unless he's in Cutthroat variation. If Erron black does his low or overhead starter without hit confirming into the sand stun move and you block it correctly, you get a full combo punish. I think this game is much more poke and footsie based than Injustice, and more about reads and reacting to punishes since many moves and strings are full combo punishable.

I love how you left out that I was using a shit xbox one pad because you were using my stick! Stop reporting fake scores!

I was using your stick and not mine and I was playing the game for 2 hours total before we played meanwhile you were playing the game nonstop even at the arcade you were coming from.. it was a handicap match on both ends

Eh with combo breakers and delayed wake up, 50/50s shouldn't be too annoying. It's all about the neutral game now lol

Why do people behave like breakers are unlimited or something just because they aren't hard capped at 1? Especially now that it's not like in MK9 where half of the cast had no use for meter besides breakers.

...the run can be stopped at any point, and recovers instantly.

Are you sure about the latter?

Whoa there buddy, damage isn't that high in this game. Most characters hit low 30s midscreen. Assuming you get only TWO breakers pure match (both rounds) thats potential 4 times someone has to hit you PER ROUND. 8 times per match. If you are simply guessing wrong that many times, i don't think the problem lies within the 50/50 anymore.

Well, low damage, availability of breakers etc. translates into how many times you need to facetank shit, agreed. However, this number of times to be hit doesn't discern that much whether you ate 50/50, punishments, failing your spacing or something else. I think it's about weight of mixups in the entire picture of dealing/taking damage - whether it's high or not. At least this is how I understand this thread.

Speaking of availability of breakers btw, are we assuming that everyone will keep meter for breakers? As far as I can tell, ex specials will be very important.
