Most humble shit talker ever!!!
Note I'll be using the acronyms to Interactables as IAs
As usual major props to NRS for being an AAA company that actually experiment and try something new when they don't have to and at the time other FGs did not. From IAs to Variation to Gear, yeah this was prob to some extent done in the pass but that's not the point. The point is they can just settle but instead they try and push the evenlope wheather it works out or not.
Now back when there was a big debate in I1 and even MKX times to ban IAs I was the one who fought for let them rock and I have no regrets, it's good for us to be open minded as a community to see how things roll.
But now after 3 games even though they have balanced IAs a lot better I just find IAs not fun to use or be against, I do not feel I am out playing my opponent nor do I feel outplayed by using them, they feel more of a hinderance for me right now... but I said for me right? That's the thing... this is the only reason I'm doing this thread as I found out every known and respected tourney player I speak to felt the same way! I thought it was just me otherwise I would of done this thread sooner.
Let me create some imagery for you, picture you play a patient char and you playing this super slippy mobile char that's got everything, and you chars biggest strength is the corner, so you're playing patiently out of your mind to get opponent to the corner, finally you do... and then guess what? For the opponent not defending their side of the Neutral they get fucking rewarded with an infinite supple of fast invincible, plus on block dive kicks that can be armoured and even change sides which you also have the option to just cancel and just leap out of the corner that can be used as a Wake up. It's almost riskless a lot of MB F3s whiff... I just don't see the fairness in that, if it's me or the opponent doing it, in fact these tools can be so good you are probably better in the corner than midscreen. Even if the IA was punishable I still feel it shouldn't be an extra get out of jail option to opponent needs to worry about.
Although I'm using corner IAs as example the non corner ones can be stupidly dumb and folllw the same mindstate.
It does not make weaker chars better but can make stronger chars stronger exp Firestorm
Now although me and a lot of the players I asked would love if they just killed off IA's completely following games so we don't have to deal with debate again. I do have to point out non of this is on NRS, they gave us the option to disable and for that I don't put them in this situations not tags at Paulo or nothing.
We have the choice so it's up to us as a community to decide.
Just to point out I am not suggesting we debate to ban them for this game I2 or not.
It's too late in the game now they should stay for the remainder of I2 I'm just speaking about future titles like MK11 and such.
Also it's never too early to discuss, the earlier the better.
Was going to add a poll but decided against it, as many people will not read, think about how many times IA has saved their asses vote no and then leave. We can put a poll later on another time.
So should we take it into consideration to the option to ban IAs?
Discuss.
