ESL was extremely hype yesterday and between to the LoL NA LCS, Playoff Football, and this I was glued to my seat.
Wow at the designs of Sektor, Cyrax and Robo Smoke especially. They sound great... They look great... And they even play great. Sektor looked extremely flashy with his new Missile setups. Cyrax, despite losing the unblockable bomb still does raw damage and has oki tools for sustained pressure even after his combos are done.
Smoke retains his special moves from MK9, but also is given some new bells and whistles with new normals to keep the opponent on their toes and seems very punish oriented. The fact he can teleport easily on screen via a string, play mindgames with his opponent will be key to his neutral. I loved they went and gave him his spears back but made them look distinctly different. Smoke bombs too!? Oh man, it really is like playing UMK3 all over again, but with no glitch jabs!
Cyber-Subby! I would of never thought they would put him in but it's great there is a bonus character for fans of the series.
This, along with a new netcode makes me extremely excited for a new year of MKX. Even the special edition and it's packages IMO are extremely well priced and I like they went and considered fans who already have KP1, or solely have MKX. 20 bucks for DLC is not bad at all, even if some kostume packs are there we wouldn't usually like. The Pit looked great, and it's nice it became a free DLC stage with it's own fatality again.
