What are your serious opinions about Mortal Kombat X?

Not really. A majority of 50/50s in MKX are punishable. Just because something cant be punished by every character does not mean its unpunishable.

You guys dont have to like the game but you can't get mad when we try and argue with the statement that MKX is a 50/50 game. A lot of us don't feel that way and are saying why... I don't see what is wrong with that.
Also nothing is wrong with stating your opinion. What is happening is that my opinion is being attacked and I'm defending it. Simple

I never remember MK9 having anyone hate on it besides the online. It was the best MK game we ever had till that point. The fact that this is even a debate is telling.

Nobody is saying it like that...what your doing is lumping a few bad posts in with legitimate reasons why we may dislike the current meta and flow of the game.
Why you catching feels if it doesn't apply to you then? And yeah I just read your post & it's mad suspect to. Go ahead, nothing wrong to dislike the flow of the game but theirs just a bunch of nonsense going around about how the game is scrubby & "neutral" isn't important.

40+% meterless with Tempest Lao off an 8 frame jab.
Shout outs to Azreal 3.3K off of a 6 frame +1 on block jab that hits crouchers with safe Gatling options

Hmmm can't say I agree. What is the point of a anti air when normal jump attacks stuff it? Maybe I'm just too use to street fighter, but in that game anti air means anti air.
I'm playing Kotal Khan and my friend is jumping in on me. I go to AA grab him on reaction. His jump kick collides with with my active frames move. I get knocked over and he falls down, suffering no damage. Call me crazy but I think a move as specific as that should take priority over the air attack, even if it was on the same frame.

Basically if I want to grab someone out of the air I have to know they are going to jump before they even leave the ground. I've had marginal success with that specific AA (online) so I either sit and block or chance eating a combo from a jump in.

MKX is WAY better than MK9 and Injustice. The balance feels better, the game feels faster, it's more footsie based than both of those games, too. The music and soundtrack also craps on MK9 and Injustice.

I like pretty much everything about MKX and it's almost the perfect game to me. Also the competition is 10x harder and bigger than it was for any NRS game.

These next few years will be LEGENDARY.
Pretty much all of this. I just love it :D

That right there is a total bill. People complained about the meter burn glitch, Cyrax combos, Kabal's everything, player 1 advantage etc. etc.

There was also a lot of people who dropped it because they thought it was too glitchy and too slow.

I'm sorry but your memory is hella selective.

i love the game but not as much as i loved mk9 (at least so far)
still getting used to the game and the many 50/50s and toned down anti airs but there is still a ton to love about the game. i anticipate the game being very exciting to play and watch once the game gets more fleshed out. i hope it is as exciting as mk9 was when it is all said and done
I dont miss Cyrax 90% resets, command grabs and overall.
Dont miss Kabals nmdcs EHNMDCs either.
dont miss Sonnya scrubby gameplay.
Kenshi safe super armor bs.
JCs F3, nut punch, random advantage on block etc.
Dont miss P1 advantage. No trades etc.

This game is so much better, what I do miss is Lao being top tier. He is heavily normalized in this game.

I mean to show just how limited alot of knowledge of basic FG fundamentals we got here we got people saying MKX damage off of mixup is skyhigh, it's not it's pretty damn standard for FGs especially seeing how people are usually dropping one bar, we got people saying KOF doesn't have 50/50s for godsake, it's like a lot of y'all never seen Iori, Benimaru, Clark, or various other characters existing, we got people saying converting hits in neutral into mixup after makes the game more mixup oriented than footsies oriented, have you ever really payed attention to how any FG works?

What the fuck? Did you miss all the crying over Kung Lao for more than half the games life? Cyrax complaints, Kano complaints, Sindel complaints, Smoke complaints, Smokes complaining that their character wasn't good, the Kabal complaints, the Sonya complaints, fuck even Reptile complaints when Chris was doing super good. This is why your opinion is being attacked because your points are godawful.

If your opponent has meter they're gonna armored wakeup if you even think about pressuring and if they don't they get to play 50/50 Kombat x until they get meter to armor through your pressure. There's definitely certain characters where there's way too much guessing involved and little to no defensive skill involved. Sure its cool when you guess right but when you don't most characters give you a no lube pounding. Looking at you Erron Black

That shit is super hard to convert off of, and depending on the character(male/female) she may not be able to convert it. But for argument's sake, let's say a Dvorah can combo off the second hit of f22 everytime(she could be able to, my execution is not the best):

2. That would mean she would have to go for f22 every time in order to catch your backdash. So if you DONT backdash you can armor/poke out of her pressure and reverse it. So now its a two way guess of what you are going to do and what she is going to do.
Again no, because she could just do f112. If she does run up f22, you're getting hit -- and if she does run up f112, you have to hold 50/50.

Ducky's not having any problem converting these.

Lol at this "if you're getting 50/50'd then it's your fault for getting put in that position" nonsense. What insane footsie skills are involved in performing Ermac's soul capture, Quan Chi's trance, or Scorpion's spear mid-combo? Deeeeyum yo that SKILL HYPE!!
Why did you get hit or put yourself in the position to be int he mixup in the first place, ask yourself these questions instead of bitching about "Bullshit 50/50s" & work on getting your defense past Pringles tier.

I already have said f112 is broke, I fully admit it. But You could armor through either of those two, so its still a guess whether she will b12 to breake the armor and sacrifice the damage, or whether she'll go for the 50/50 off of the puddle or do f112 to get the 50/50.

And im sure ducky can convert them, but I'd be interested to see if he could do it on a female character.

Regardless I have already said she is probably best in the game and I expect Ducky will make top 8 and maybe even win it, so not sure what else you want from me haha. I was just clearing up some misconceptions in your posts.

This is simple...I absolutely love the game. I think it is incredibly fun. Perfect? Absolutely not, but it is tons of fun and that is all I ever really want from any game.

Perhaps that post is out of line...this is nrs games we are talking about.

I suppose, my reflection is based only on my perspective and not the community as a whole. I never thought I would feel this way about MKX. I'm super disappointed because what I loved about mk9 is non existent in MKX.

Perhaps my emo is getting the best of me.

All that said...MKX was supposed to be the God sent MK of all MKs. And to me (and apparantly many others) it is far from that.

"I will cut a hole in you"
Just like everyone else is saying it is bringing back good characteristics of mk9 .

The mechanics
The combos
The salt ;)
God the footsies lol

I think mkx is shaping to be the best in the next few years fulla hype & new surprises lol trust me the more you learn the better the game is. I think its like that for everyone >.>

Loving the game & loving how easy the game shows me who's really awful at playing FGs if they think the game is all 50/50s, no neutral, & scrubby. Where all y'all talking about how you can scrun people out with endless 50/50s in this game beating out Foreverking, Fox, REO, & others? Where these random Top 8s you'd expect from a game with "No Footsies".
To be fair, you listed 3 players known for their breakneck rushdown who are making full use of nonstop 50/50s -- haha.

Picking 3 traditionally footsie-oriented players who are winning with footsie-oriented gameplay would probably have been a better argument ;)
