See What Has Changed Since Day 0 (Vanilla MKX Stream)

[Arzumis]

Ruthless ferra torr still top 5

I remember when Raiden used to be in MKX. Shame they patched him out of the game. He was fun to watch.

Oh don't be a negative Nancy, Raiden is alive and kicking. Sure, most of the cast is stomping instead of kicking, but don't count him out. Nivek's Raiden is great proof of that.

 

[Alright RyRy]

I also want to see if Jaxs BnBs were harder back in the day, or is it just that we were getting used to the whole run cancel mechanic.

 

[MsMiharo]

I am really curious about Reptile. One of the main reasons why I am doing this.

Also Day 1 shinnok was AWFUL. Hellsparks -24 no matter what on block. GGs.

Yeah d1 shinnok was ass. Old Kano b1, the original block infinite

 

[BigMacMcLovin]

The days before Cassie was absolutely mangled.

Never forget.

 

[The_Tile]

Dragons Fire was the best in the game free. A block infinite off a full screen advancing special that's plus stupid on block. Lol, just lol.

 

[Mikemetroid]

All these patches and A-List has stayed the same.

Now that's some shit.

Not entirely true, Johnny had some serious whiffing issues.

 

[Renzokuken]

Day 1 Bojutsu was so much more fun.

 

[DDutchguy]

Day 1 Bojutsu was so much more fun.

Aah, the memories of 90% of players playing Bojutsu. Classic.

Jax's bnb were inconsistent af. Thats why Heavy weapons was the best because you could rc into 12 ex dash punch combo which was doable

 

[Apex Kano]

Yeah d1 shinnok was ass. Old Kano b1, the original block infinite

I miss old B1 and hearing people cry.

 

[WakeUp DP]

Not entirely true, Johnny had some serious whiffing issues.

He got buffed and top tiers got nerfed so S-tier? Maybe...

 

[Lord Beef]

Double Flame Aura combos? ~47% for one bar into 15% chip??? ARMORED EXTELEPORT WAT. I'd hella be into this. Also, if we could get vanilla meta game too when no one knew how to deal with Grandmaster, plzkthx

 

[TopTierHarley]

DVorah F112 wc being +17 on block so you got a free 50/50 everytime someone blocked. Cancels being much easier on hit and block, the damage, oh man the damage, especially off f44.

 

[darkmoonlight_va]

I know it isn't included but Tanya then versus Tanya now but my favorite will be Raiden

 

[Wigy]

Liu had an infinite didnt he?

Takeda had holes fucking eveeerywhere.

 

[Dankster Morgan]

Lol Takeda was so bad. And Kitana. Damn.

 

[MrProfDrPepper]

Literally all my characters were flat out garbage day one. The release of MKX was not pretty for me

 

[ARMOR]

It's like you guys forgot quan existed

 

[DDutchguy]

When you compare launch MKX to current MKXL, I appreciate the balancing a lot more than I used to. Characters like Reptile, Kitana and Takeda have received changes that turned them from really bad to quite good. Other characters like Raiden getting some much needed nerfs (the damage and option select were fun while they lasted) was also a good idea. In general I feel like the game has greatly benefitted from patches.

That's big if you to say, I'd be salty af if I played Raiden.

Launch Raiden was good because of stuff that is pretty dumb on any character frankly. A 6-frame mid that leads to great chip, great meter building and a full combo on hit? Oh my. The option select was gonna go either way, no characters should be able to eliminate risk on a risky attack, especially one that leads to such good damage.

The 50% 1 bar combos too were far too much if you compare it to what the rest of the cast could do at launch. I'm happy with current, non-dumb Raiden.

 

[cR WoundCowboy]

Somehow, people will still find a way to upplay shinnok.

 

[Titanman_88]

See how bad kenshi was compared to now and tell me how much he has improved.. oh wait

 

[Alright RyRy]

Also If anyone wants to skype while I am doing this, I am open to it. @Pig Of The Hut @cR WoundCowboy mainly open to anybody that has mained a character since day 1.
