Predator and jason arent mk characters. The ones i listed are. I like having mk characters in mk games.I agree with the whole post... one tiny sentence though...
Jason, the way he is made, not only fits the game, it makes it look better
You want cyrax & sektor, but you don't like Predator? He is their father you know (and subzero's spine rip fatality idea). It was about time to be included in the series.
Respect the inspiration
Some MK characters you like were made from something else. That something is coming.Predator and jason arent mk characters. The ones i listed are. I like having mk characters in mk games.
What is bad ass about a shadow ninja? More like boring.So some blonde mouthy little bitch with annoying quotes is more interesting than a bad ass shadow ninja? Hand in your man card please.
What do you think a read is?Cause there is no read to make, it's a fucking guess. What don't you get? What has everyone been complaining about since like week 3?
When Digit 50/50'd the fuck out of Fox in the corner... I guess Fox should've had better footsies. You're right.Wha
What do you think a read is?
It's an educated GUESS.
Besides, you still have mb corner escape, tech rolls, armored wake up, delayed long and short wake up.
And again, why aren't you playing better footsies?
You base characters off of pre fight dialogue? And because Cassie has some terrible one liners she's more interesting... She's about as basic looking as it gets. But we can agree to disagree.What is bad ass about a shadow ninja? More like boring.
"Fear Me" is his pre fight dialogue in MK9. Which means that Noob is, in fact, so shitty that they couldn't even give him something interesting to say.
Meanwhile, Cassie is super clever and fun. She's a strong, independent woman which, based in your man card statement, is a concept you clearly feel threatened by.
I was using that as an example.You base characters off of pre fight dialogue? And because Cassie has some terrible one liners she's more interesting... She's about as basic looking as it gets. But we can agree to disagree.
Fox should have played better, yeah.When Digit 50/50'd the fuck out of Fox in the corner... I guess Fox should've had better footsies. You're right.
The game pushes to the corner with almost every knock down or pressure tool. Someone will get cornered eventually. It's made that way, you can't blame sonic fox. And then... fitty fittyFox should have played better, yeah.
Even top players make mistakes. Doesn't change the fact that he had options to avoid being cornered. I would argue that in that situation, Digit made the better reads.
That's bullshit and you know it. I like Cassie very much, her lines are smarter than JC, her skins are hot and even her haircuts rock (actually she has too many cool elements and it's not the thread to mention them). Still story mode shows that NRS were either lazy or didn't have time for itIn MK X, Cassie saved the world. I know more about Cassie in this game than i ever knew about boring Shadow ninja guy.
No. Story mode could have been longer but i was completely okay with Cassie saving the world. It was awesome. Certainly better than boring shadow ninja.The game pushes to the corner with almost every knock down or pressure tool. Someone will get cornered eventually.

Equal opportunity in corner carry with Raitarden? OkNo. Story mode could have been longer but i was completely okay with Cassie saving the world. It was awesome. Certainly better than boring shadow ninja.
Actually, you can blame Fox. In the nuetral game, at the start of the round, both players have equal opportunity. As you yourself have said, a lot of stuff carries to the corner or pushes you to the corner in this game.
So if they each had an equal opportunity to corner the other, and Digit did it before Fox, than yes, Digit made the better reads.
Yep. Electric fly is a full combo punish on block.Equal opportunity in corner carry with Raitarden? Ok
And then 50/50. No, better... fitty fitty with OS. cool
better reads indeed
He pushes quite well on block tooYep. Electric fly is a full combo punish on block.
If you got hit, you made a mistake.
From the very start of the round, yes. Sonic and Digit had an equal opportinity to corner the other.
You need to divorce yourself from emotion and look at it objectively.
You're acting like Errom Black's corner carry is small potatoes.
It's harsh, but it's not braindead. Sonic lost the nuetral game and had to deal with Digit's set play.
No different than anyone who lost the nuetral vs. Fox and had to deal with his set play.
Or that Sonic had no options to escape the corner. He might as well have put down the controller, right?
Think your forgetting MK9s players 1 advantage, input errors, random frame advantage and unblockable resets that leads 100% that ARE still in the game, at least the bugs are fixed now in MKX thats the differenceMK9. Dash cancelling (Eventhough run cancelling is an adequate substitute).
The implementation of armored moves seemed experimental in MK9, it kinda just semed like they never game it much thought, and were just like, "ok let's give this move armor, sound good? ok cool." MKX took a step in the right direction by giving everyone armored options.
That said, the oki game is WAY too inconsistent in MKX. Sure, you have tech rolling, wake up back dashing, wakeup armor for everyone, etc... but that doesn't even matter when certain characters have braindead moves that can safely stuff your armored reversals, and single hit normals that will randomly ignore armored reversals after HKD and stuff them when they're not supposed to. Invincible frames on regular wakeups does not equal zero oki. See SF4.
MKX has inconsistent and illogical move properties from one character to the next. Why do some characters have like 13 frame SAFE OH / Low starters when others are triple the frames and punishable? Why do variation specific SAFE specials for some characters grant ridiculous frame advantage while similar variation specific specials for others are punishable and are minus on hit? Why are there entire variations that are rendered completely useless because of the basic movesets of other characters? And why in the ever loving fuck is throw teching still a guess? It was the same in MK9, I know.. but that is the single thing I would choose to change about this game. No one likes it.
MK9 had significantly less bugs at release than MKX. I don't think that can be denied. punishable on hit specials, wiff on hit specials, wiff on hit normals (that still exists), walking right through clones, incorrect damage scaling, broken interactables ignoring block stun, sliding across the stage, meter gain bugs, getting stuck in the air, multiple infinites, etc.
The penalty for block breaker and breakers in general makes no sense. When some characters require meter use to be effective offensively when others do not, a static penalty for breaker use means that the more meter dependent characters are punished more severely in terms of effectiveness for using one.
There are characters with a laundry list of strings while others have like 4. There are SEVERAL strings that have zero practical use whatsoever in actual game play.
The MKX roster is unappealing and lazy. People's kids? new characters that aren't even good enough to use? Give me Smoke, Kabal, Cyrax, Sektor, Noob, Rain, Nightwolf, and Shang Tsung. Predator and Jason as DLC is fucking stupid.
MKX SHOULD have been the better game, but it's just not.
Yes, but the low tier characters in this game shit all over the low tier characters in MK9. In this game, being low tier isn't the non-viable death sentence it was in MK9.I could be wring, but I think we already have some OP characters. Probably worse than MK9. But if Nah, please enlighten me.
@Rude To better explain "it proves nothing". Let's say we are playing offline. Mirror matches with raiden or kung or black.
I would laugh and tease you at your wins.
I would be unhype for knowing I could be just lucky at my wins
PS: it's bad taste the things you do are something you can't defend against
Nah, you did change it somehowYou can defend against it.
In order for Raiden to push you to the corner he has to:
Hit you with an electric fly.
Carry you there with a combo.
Push you there on block with blockstring pressure.
Now, since Raiden really only uses lightning cancels in combos, it would have more than one block string to push you to the corner.
Which means he has to hit you with Electric Fly or carry you to the corner.
In every scenario, he has to initiate offense.
Now, how is offense initiated in this game?
Jump in attacks.
Running and canceling the run into a blockstring.
Downpoking and using the frame advantage to run in and apply a blockstring or 50/50.
Using armor to break through your opponent's offense.
In every scenario, the defending player has options. Could defensive options be better? Absolutely. Are some characters better equipped in defense than others? Yes. I'm not arguing that.
My argument is that if you cannot stop your opponent's offense, that it is YOUR FAULT, not the game's.
If they jump, you could anti air.
If they try to use armor, you could block and punish or bait the armor.
If they're using block strings to push you to the corner, you could try to use armor, poke out, or use block breaker.
You and Woolay Chi are trying to craft this narrative that this game is entirely luck based. It isnt. If it was, everyone would make top 8. Randoms would make top 8.
But the results have been surprisingly consistent for a supposedly luck-based, coin flip game.
Sonic Fox has been doing a lot of winning in this game.
Dizzy won, beating Fox and REO.
If you can't see a commonality between players with strong fundamentals winning tournaments over players who don't...
...then i think there is nothing i can say to change your negative outlook. You should probably drop the game.
No they aren't.Think your forgetting MK9s players 1 advantage, input errors, random frame advantage and unblockable resets that leads 100% that ARE still in the game, at least the bugs are fixed now in MKX thats the difference
A strong and independent woman meticulously designed by a team of men to be the "DAT ASS" girl of the game.Meanwhile, Cassie is super clever and fun. She's a strong, independent woman which, based in your man card statement, is a concept you clearly feel threatened by.
