No stamina bar from what I can tell, I just checked the health bars and they are nowhere to be found.

Just asking because I hear stamina bar on multiple occasions, but never saw one myself. Not that I mind, I hated the run mechanic lol

Where was the stamina bar? I saw offense and defense bars... is stamina also defense?

Imagine meter is the new stamina bar. Where just like you dont build stamina in mkx, you’re not building meter. It’s recharging over time. Not only that but you have 4 bars of meter divided into 2 exclusively for offense options and 2 exclusively for defense options.

So they were calling all 4 bars together the stamina bar? Ok, that makes sense! thanks

There is no stamina bar because there isnt any run in this game. It’s the meter system both offense and defense bars, it works like the mkx stamina bar.

That's why I was asking, because it didn't look like their was one, but in the stream ppl kept saying stamina bar.

I know how the four bars I saw work lol

Imo Ketchup and Mustard have some of the best gameplay so far:

Looks like they had more time with it than most of the US players had before their sets.

After the main reveal, the London stream was just a lot more entertaining, imo.

Game looked way more exciting in this than the pro exhibition

On the EU stream Derek said that some Krushing Blows are specific distance-activated.

Thank you. Can't get enough.

The game is so sick. It's got me tripping.

 

[CrimsonShadow]

Derek said something about a Roll Tech? Not sure if that's the same as MB roll.

This game looks incredible. Might be the first Kollectors Edition game I buy

Kollector's edition costs $299.

No joke.

$299

That is beyond ridiculous and exactly why I never shell out for that shit. No offense to those who do, it's your money, but I can't imagine paying that much for something like that.

Holy shit. Maybe not then...

Injustice had meterless semi inv that are unsafe on block unless you spent meter in some cases to make them safe on block. MK11 apparently has fully invinicble metered wakeups. Practically the same situation. The big difference is the meter system in general.

What kinda baby game would have a meter system that doesnt reward proper management. Think about stamina in MKX. Some characters would have to spend stamina just to get in and then use more stamina to pressure with cancels. Or on defense use stamina to push block, but now you cant backdash because that also costs stamina meter.

That’s how these dumb resource management rules systems they put in play out. It limits and its boring.

I see your point but I think it will still reward you for managing your two bars and thinking critically about when to use your stuff. Honestly I think it sounds great in the context of the defensive bar for wakeups and interactables. They just need to give you enough options to make the offensive bar interesting.

In NRS, I think lopsided meter building is one of the most common issues in bad matchups, particularly in matchups where one character zones out the other. So I'm also excited about how that changed the gameplay.

This will be the best MK ever.

From what I gather, meter burning has been replaced with something they're calling "amplify" which is more timing-specific and will change a lot with individual moves.

If anyone has more info on this let me know.

Your reaction to that price

Yea amplify is the new “mb” so basically you do a special then amplify which can be a single or repeated button press or a direction + button press. I saw mb roll but I couldn’t do it, an it was not in the menu that I saw

 

[Eldriken]

I. Am. DEAD.

 

[Braindead]

EX moves don't use the trigger button now. To ex or MB a move is now called to "amplify" the move. You do it by pressing a different button or another command.

I'll link a source if I find it.

What is the reward for "flawlessly blocking" a move?

You can punish safe moves

I’m so happy with what I’m seeing. Tbh my “MK11 meta hopes” thread was essentially a shot in the dark. But it seems my hopes to an extent are coming true for MK11. If you’re at ALL a competitive player, this reveal was the hypest and best thing we’ve seen from NRS ever. I really didn’t think they were gonna go this route, and unbelievably happy that they did!

where's the tier list?
