Should we start a petition for pushblock to only require 1/3 bar of meter?

I disagree with this idea just because it's so early in the game's life. But can someone explain to me why you can't just do an ex reversal to get out of pressure? Still just one bar.

You think? :DOGE
You get in on sub, he push blocks and clones at the cost of one bar. That would suck. Why not push block for one bar? There's way more incentive and reward for push blocking in mkx over injustice.

Imagine trying to get in one someone with a full bar. You get in and they push block you. You then work your way back in, open them up and then they combo break you. Even with the stamina loss it would be dumb.

Also using all stamina for breakers is a great idea that does not promote mistakes. Why should you gain momentum after being hit and spending meter to correct a mistake you made? If you want to prevent damage due to making a mistake it shoukd cost you.

Please stop. It's perfect they made it this way for a reason. It's not like it's a glitch or Balance issue with a character. IT's a mechanic that was thought out and it's perfect imo. People will actually have to learn to counter poke in this game instead of just getting out of pressure for free. Why do we have to change everything about the game? It's been out for a week and a half.

Exactly. The game was designed with this feature in mind. MK9 had no push block and several characters had some nasty block strings and frame traps. IMO this is just to bypass the whole "take first hit of combo to breaker" move and just allow you to push off guaranteed chip (d'vorah's bug spray, liu kang's windmill punches, etc.)

I have a better idea. Why don't we just close this thread?

The time you guys spend complaining about things you're yet to understand, is the time you should use to educate yourself and levelup.

Anyone from the staff group kind enough to pass here, we don't need this thread open honestly.

How did you get in back ib Inj when it only coasted one bar of 4?

Because in gaming now everything has to be easy mode
Same goes to yall scrubs, if you cant deal with subz ice clones then go practice mode and quit crying.
I've never once complained about Ice clone sub zero or any character in this game.

The same way I would get back in in any fighting game... Injustice is a different game with different rules. There was way less incentive to push block in Injustice because normals did barely any chip at all. Not to mention meter is built a lot faster in MKX. It would turn into a push block fest at any threat of chip or a mix up opportunity. One bar is not hard to come by In this game. Block breaker also knocks down.

I'm sure this topic came up in testing.

I'm done. Too much specialness. This thread can be closed now.
You make a suggesstion, I disagree, I post my reasoning, I get called special(or others?)without a counter argument and you ask for the thread to be closed.

What's up with that bro? Why do you think 1 bar push block is a good idea? Injustice had so many other factors in the game play that went with the push block system it had. Your only argument towards me have been injustice comparisons.

Hey since my discussion was closed I guess I'll bump this b/c it's a fantastic idea. Especially since the game has been out longer than a week before bringing this up lol
