Mortal Kombat X Time Limit

[DarthArma]

I voted 30 cause we still wont get any time outs

 

[x-azeez]

Yes ... Make it 60 Seconds

 

[IrishMantis]

I said this a long time ago

It's cool that we don't need a patch for this but if all goes welll NRS can patch 60 the default

 

[DevilMaySpy]

I voted 60 seconds only for selfish reasons, so I can see those sub 30 second Brutalities

 

[Death]

30 seconds FT3

I'd be interested in seeing how it would affect the game , even if it was just a small change. Like foxy said, for most games even if it was 60 seconds then 98% of matches will still be done within that time I imagine but those 2% would be interesting. The reduction in time could still definitely put some psychological pressure on some players though, but as it stands the clock might as well not even be there so it would be nice for it to become somewhat relevant to the game.

 

[IrishMantis]

50 would be the sweet spot but unfortunately that's not an option

timeout are an unwelcome necessity in fighting games and ist good if a game doesnt need them, so no.

Time outs may be boring but it wouldn't hurt to test this out, especially with all the various locals we have now. If it doesn't work out we can always change it back.

Trying and failing is better than thinking what if...

Not trying to derail the topic, but, since people are talking about fast paces matches, can't we push to try and increase the number of rounds per match on official tournaments?

@edit.
That, or matches per set.

2 rounds are fine imo

I love timeouts.
Well, not the timeout it self, but the THREAT of a time out is tremendously fun.

 

[IrishMantis]

Sonic tag a few top players get their input.

We can really push this idea. It's not gonna be to the point where you can started the game winning by timeout but it's enough to increase that chance to where the player with more life see there is 18 seconds on the clock who can lame it out more

 

[M2Dave]

Time has absolutely nothing to do with the fast-paced nature of Mortal Kombat X.

 

[Bilbo11]

why not just make 99 seconds, real life 99 seconds?

the closest match I've seen with people over went down to 53 seconds on the clock, and it felt like forever

 

[protools27]

Doesn't the game also add on 10 seconds after each round?

 

[Hurleyguy2152]

I've mentioned this before, or decrease chip damage

 

[Tony at Home]

Eh, I don't really think so. Timeouts aren't always meant to be there as a mechanic to award defensive players, often they're just literally a failsafe to make sure a match can't go on forever because someone has the life lead and they are turtling while the other doesn't want to risk the attack.

Then again, the OP could buy every single asset I own with his fight money, so what do I know?

 

[ZigZag]

make it unlimited fuck time outs.

MikeMetroids opinion does not matter here.

 

[JJV Phoenix]

I agree with shorter times. Matches with the threat of a timeout are significantly more hype. 45-60 seconds would be fine, especially given the average match rarely goes beyond 30 or 40 in-game seconds.

 

[Dizzy]

I support experimenting with a shorter time limit now that EVO is over. I would like to see locals adopt this and see what happens. I think the fact that a timeout has essentially NEVER occurred is a sign the time limit is too long for the pace of the game.

I think situations where there is 10 seconds left and it changes the decision making of the players is great for both player and viewer experience, in general. Timeouts are only really hated if they become commonplace.

I've seen more double KO/match extensions then timeouts and that's saying something.

 

[Ze Dingo]

I fully agree with this, especially given that the game doesn't even follow real time.

 

[Invincible Salads]

if they make it 30 secs im not goin to bother trying to compete, so no.

 

[Method]

Don't hate this idea. I'd also like to see the health bars increased, personally. Rounds are too fast, even at high levels of play featuring godlike defense.
