What does Switch Stance do?

[tigerija]

Does it do anything or its just put there so if you press it by accident you mess up stuff? -.-'
I was never able to find out what it does. Seems like waste of button.

It switches your stance ...

Hopefully there won't be any stance specific combos in this game

 

[Konqrr]

It is the button you use while holding block to do a block breaker.

Hold block, f+Switch Stance = Block Breaker

That is what I use it for.

Well it doesn't run... Why... Who the fuck knows...

 

[Peckapowa]

It could have been so much more, could be used to alter stuff

A button that you use to taunt people. In case your is broken.

Another member creates same thread. One would think NRS could take notice

Seriously though:
- it changes stance;
- you need it for block breaker;
- you use it to control hellbat as a summoner chi.

That's it, I think.

There actually are stance specific combos. At least KL's standing 4 into spin only connects in a specific stance. I'm quite sure there's much more left to be found.

Run button plz

I did not know that. Up until this point I did not know what buttons to press to do breaker. I do it in combat, but I dont have a clue what buttons I press. Tried to find out yesterday with my brother but was not able to. Didnt find it also on move list...

I'm thinking of pulling Switch Stance button out of my gamepad actually.

Should be used as run button...

RTFM

or in other words, check out the mkx tutorial

Run button? Am I the only one who enjoys at least a little execution effort?

 

[Vak Phoenix]

Some moves whiff if stance is switched

Where can I find that tutorial? In game? I was not able to bare through that xD. Was annoying and tedious.

Most of us are incompotent and we want oversimplified controls. Complex controls isnt fun. Executings things in a smart way is fun.

Miss completely. Thing is, some normals have hard time to connect unless you are in open/closed stance with your opponent. This is especially true from some "juggling" (it's when you hit opponent mid-air) combos, but some other examples exist.

I use it as a feint to bait people into jumping by thinking it's the startup for hellfire.

Been working since MK9.

Yes the ingame tutorial. It only needs 10min of your time and gives a good overview in my opinion.
As for the easycontrols; it's not a matter of incompetence; rather a matter of dedication. MK controls aren't even that hard, there are much worse beat em ups out there.
