Brutality requirements or not?

[Kim0z]

I was thinking about this for a while now, and I thought why not make a thread to see what the community thinks about the brutalities requirements.

There are some really good looking brutalities in MKX which have some stupid requirements, take Shinnoks mimicry for example, you have to lose a round in order to be able to do it, like seriously NRS?! Also kotals uppercut brutality, has anyone been able to do that in a match?


My point is that I would love if NRS would remove these requirements.

I want to know what you guys think, in the end if the majority of people agree with me then hopefully NRS would do something about it because they listen to the community.

So do you like easy no requirements brutalities or you like them to be pulled off as a reward for completing the requirements?

EDIT: since the majority here have voted for altering the brutality requirements, I will list the ones that the community thinks that they are really hard to pull off:

-Johnny Cage (A List brutality)
-Shinnok (Imposter brutality)
-Goro (Telestomp brutality)

Kotals uppercut doesnt have to be 30 seconds or less, thats a fake requirement. Yes while the ones that require you to lose or be jump distance away are frustrating, they are even more rewarding when you do get them. Against a smart player its unlikely you will ever get some of these brutalities, and those are the ones that should be altered a little. But at the same time the dlc characters brutalities like tremor and predator are just so damn easy and you get them every match so they lose their luster.

It's not all about competitive play.

i dont just like the fact they have requirements, i LOVE that they have requirements.
especially if its one of the trickier ones

i dont think i will ever get tired of tremors brutalities, they all godlike!

 

[Eldriken]

I think the requirements should be removed. Some of them are pretty fucking stupid.

I'll never get tired of his OTG Brutality because I love how he says "LET'S ROCK!" sometimes afterwards. D:

His throw Brutality is also amazing. Same with his X-Ray. ...and his bf4 one. I can keep going. >_>

Thats my point exactly, like its not enough that you need to spend a good amount of gold to buy the brutality, but also it has some stupid requirements, I think that winning the match is enough to be able to do a brutality, I mean winning itself is a challengw right?

option to fatality is what you get for winning
(unless its a tournament based in US, you guys REALLY have to stop the pausing at game winning combos, like srs)

i got it once, and i have almost 2.5k games with JC.
In tournament people dont even play JC, this brutality will never live =/

It depends. I like MOST of the requirements, because it feels like you earned the Brutalities, and the people watching will appreciate them even more because they know what you had to do to execute them, but there are some really dumb ones that are completely impractical, like getting 30% damage off Reptile's Acid Spit, which is a high. Come on now. If they aren't ducking it, they're going to block it. I'm thankful that Brian changed Kung Lao's Spin Brutality from a sub 40 second requirement to only needing 50% health.

 

[Kim0z]

Honestly im surprised that lots of people like these requirements, since that is the case I have added another option to the poll.

Yea i changed my vote, some of these are horrendously difficult. They should be challenging, not impossible.

That's happened, like, NEVER in tournament.

 

[Cossner]

Thats the whole point of them.

 

[Jaku2011]

There are some that should be changed for sure most are fine though.

altering some brutalities requirements

Some are really retarted

 

[STB Sgt Reed]

I don't even know Sub Zero's brutalities lmao

 

[Enexemander]

I don't even know Sub Zero's brutalities lmao

You're probably doing them anyway, since the requirements for Subs Brutalities are incredibly easy.

I've never done a brutality with sub zero. I don't play cryomancer (the easy knife stab one) and idek what grandmaster's are. lol

 

[trufenix]

all they need to do is remove the krypt requirement.

 

[LEGI0N47]

I actually dislike how easy so many of them are for a lot of chars while others have to perform feats to be able to have a crack at them. There are a lot of them that are simply press this button when you do xxxx move. But on the flip side some of them have really dumb requirements that make them seldom seen or used.
