What if you could switch variations mid game

[Xerclipse]

Just imagining Tanya branching Kobujutsu into Naginata's for standing resets into Kobujutsu blockstrings bitches would be far worse.

And its not even the final form considering the would also branch into pyromancer just to finish all her combos with nitroglycerin powder

Thats all you need to end the game.

I think it would be cool if you can do it between rounds. The person who lost a round can use L2 and R2 to switch variations.

 

[BoromiRofGeo]

just thinking about this...

 

[Doombawkz]

F/T would still be mostly the same.

 

[DevilMaySpy]

Cassie with Nutpunch AND missles? Quan Chi with armor AND bats? Erron Black with rifle cancels and sand grenades? Tempest Lao with low hats? LOL

 

[Baconlord]

What if Kung Jin had the damage and armor in bogitsu, the arrows and vortex of ansestral, and the pressure and mixups of shaolin. God help us

 

[Darkling]

Imagine Johnny Cage can make B121212121212 safe by using mimic and run cancel. So hilarious to win the game just by chip damage

 

[Xerclipse]

Mileena would still be the same....

They could try buffing her ethereal variation more. Then she has better zoning if she teleports back using her piercing variation. Or if she teleports forward she can do some low pounce shenanigans.

 

[RiBBz22]

Cassie with missiles and nut punches and tick throws? Where do I sign up?

 

[Bar_Bar13]

Reptile becomes a real character

 

[Desperdicio]

Scorpion would switch to Inferno to zone you until he hits you with the minion grab, and then he would perform an astounding Hellfire combo into a reset that would leave you at his fireball cancel blockstrings's mercy.

Sub-Zero would hide behind an Ice Clone to cover himself while he gets that Frozen Aura going.

 

[Deyrax]

3d MK doesn't have Puggles and Portals happening in one character! Not even Minion Grab and Hellfire Aura happening in one character either. I understand that it has the weapon stance change but MKX would be ridiculously broken!

Implying 3d MKs weren't broken ?

 

[Eldriken]

They ought to do this. Make it like an Omega mode or something. Y'know, like SF4 has. But instead of new broken moves, let them be able to use all of their variations' perks all at once. It would be fun to dabble in.

I could only imagine Jacqui's damage in Full Auto with Gauntlet Charge at level 2. God. Damn.

 

[Xerclipse]

More than broken my child. MORE THAN BROKEN! Beyond repair.

 

[Pleasa]

Didn't certain characters from Injustice have variations that can be changed mid match as well? Pretty sure the idea of variations stemmed from when they were developing that game, and it came full circle with MKX....

Nightwing comes to mind as he went from (Escrima) to the (Staff) variation when you used the "Power" button....

Either way, the fact that he could switch mid way was what made his character fun to use IMO lol...

 

[John Grizzly]

Thinking about Kotal with access to all 3 variations....

A man can only get so hard.

I see your point but he was completely two characters with no moves that were common.

Yet this still wouldn't even come close to the bullshit that Scorpion would be capable of.

No no no, you got it all wrong.

Jacqui checking them with Hand Cannon, then when they nuetral duck you Shotgun them, then you run cancel into High Tech pressure.

 

[Harlequin969]

The amount of nonsense this could cause, it would almost be like Marvel level combos.

 

[dribirut]

Reptile would be exactly the same as he is now since his variations are borderline useless. What are you all smoking..

Also, you would not be able to ever touch subzero

 

[Xerclipse]

Also, you would not be able to ever touch subzero

Cryomancer f4 2 1+3 ender, then setting up ice clone after, and then ice aura. GAME!

 

[Xerclipse]

Now that Predator is out, he would be really scary with traps which gives him an opportunity to set up his self destruct. That probably guarantees a free combo. Then his Hish Qu Ten will really keep people away with the trap or push them into it.
