REO has brainwashed the masses with this "armor attacks are broken in Mortal Kombat X" propaganda to the extent that NRS designers have removed all launching armor attacks from the game. As soon as the patch was released, he began a campaign to remove Kitana's armor on throat slash and succeeded. He is now trying to do the same with Ermac's EX push and Kenshi's EX overhead slash.

I have to inform the community that while the zoning has been improved in this game, so has the rush down. You now spend a bar for an armor attack that barely leads to any damage and is sometimes unsafe on block. This game still has issues, but armor attacks are no longer one of them.



I have no idea what happened on Twitter, but Smoke players are by definition downplayers (and cowards).

Oh look another ironic comment.

Calls smoke players cowards, but cries about not being able to hide behind safe armour launcher anymore.

By definition, Crystalline players are cowards.

Reo's right, it was broken. You armoring in the middle of my string to launch me for a full combo is fukin stupid. Or if I'm zoning and you armor threw my projectile to launch me for a full combo, shit was fukin dumb.

Can we just all agree that kitana needs more buffs?!?:16Bit

No. No! NO!

No more witch hunt fuel. Half the reason I made my post was to bring some logical sense to the topic at hand, the other half was to stop the ignorant from thinking that Kitana's F2 now has magical armor-breaking properties.



On a side note, since it was brought up by someone, I agreed with those thinking armored BF3 was too much. My thinking had absolutely nothing to do with REO's "campaign". I view and analyze both sides of a debate before forming my own conclusions. I wish more people would do the same. How else are we to have constructive discussions?

The video was really meant for anyone who thought you couldn't jump over it or had 0 options and had to block. Reo's video had him trying to jump over Kenshi's EX overhead and getting hit out of the jump. But a well-timed jump will get over it and you can whiff punish him. For some characters who have floaty jumps you might have to run before jumping to get around it. None of this works in the corner btw.

Also it's to show that jumping over beats ALL his wake-ups. Rather than trying to time a meaty to stuff his wake-up while also having to worry about EX Push or delayed armor, you can jump over which is a lot easier and punishes all of his wake-up attacks.

Some moves need their tracking/position setting fixed, like this one or Warlock "can't benefit from the 3 hits of armor because this sheit got your position from 10 seconds ago" sword. And I'm sure there are more moves with similar problems, all of them need a fix, problem is that programming fixes need extra resources so IDK if they will address tracking in general.

Looks like if the armor lasted longer, it may not be an issue. I very rarely ever see both hits of armor activate for most moves because the frames in which armor is active aren't long at all.

Either way, this seems awfully strange. I can only think of it being the aforementioned. Perhaps it will get looked at.

Oh, better tracking would probably help as well.

SF Sonya blows it up hard with drone. 2 hits of armor aside, the startup is long, so you can do a late drone shot (late enough that he can't see it and decide not to wakeup) , hit Kenshi on recovery and still be able to block the attack in time.

As for a general reversal (like anytime I'm just +2,3 or 4 or whatever) really not much answer to that...

I got 22 to stuff it a couple times, but the timing was really strict and not worth it.

Ya I found this out 2 days ago. There is way more than just this that can break it tho

He's BEEN confirmed that. He's essentially the most obnoxious, spoiled child you've ever seen trapped in an old man's body. The sense of entitlement and hypocrisy in his initial post alone apparently weren't enough so he actually had to go and be a total fucking dickhead to the people rightfully blowing him up about it on top of that.

He literally posted a video in his thread and then threw repeated all-caps titty-fits at anyone who responded about said video that HE posted, instead of whatever other stupid whiny horseshit he posted along with it. His crybaby threads are all he's done in this game anyway so I don't even know why any of us bother replying to begin with. Probably best to just ignore and let him cry himself to sleep.

You are posting links to social media on a forum that many users access from work (TYM doesnt get flagged for me at least.) I get wanting to use video to show things, under most circumstances it is the best way to provide an example. However, you know that not everyone can watch these vids, you have to know that, you also have to know that even those that can sometimes wont. You could have avoided all of the confusion by simply adding 3 sentences to the OP explaining what we are looking at in the twitter link. If your way of communicating is not yielding the results you want then the problem is with you, not the audience. Particularly when its happening to a bunch of people. the common denominator is your message, it was not informative enough. Improve your means of spreading information if you find your current caps lock, curse word, links only filled posts arent doing you justice.

I've watched it over and over again.(The kitana forward advancing string) I think it's clearly a bug and not intended. Hopefully that gets fixed soon. Without that bug it's a good armor attack but not OP in any way. It should prevent rush down offense. It's 1000% a bug. Dont see how it was ever considered broken unless broken being that bug.

Edit: Oh and it happens to other characters too and not specific to Kitana? I think that confirms it was an oversight to Kenshi while they were buffing him. Definitely a bug and unintended.

After looking at it more it actually reminds me of Possessed sickles hitbox issue too. Characters used to go right through that under certain circumstances. If that wasn't fixed by now they probably don't even care to fix this issue either.

It's a huge design flaw and oversight they don't care to fix then.
