I'm okay with new imputs. It reminds me how I extended Mileena's pounces.
And there could be a problem when you shoot a projectile and want to block immidiately, but instead of blocking you're gonna amplify your projectile. Jacqui had a similar issue with machine gun in mkx

I respectfully disagree. NRS testers and developers have more time to adapt to their new input methods. They've been working on this game for 2 years or more. The required moves to amplify basic moves are based on their own logic, so actually no need for them to adapt to anything.

Their logic is not my logic! Also, I'm not one of their game testers and I'm not a pro player. Hence I don't want to be tortured and limited in any way in my character choices, when I come back from work and casually play MK11 for an hour or two. Most of the people here may have the pro player mindset, but I'm sure most of the casuals (which BTW will be the majority of all MK11 players) will be completely alienated and antagonized by the current input method.

Let people get their hands on the game. If anything doesn't work the way NRS had planned, they will make the proper changes. Currently, I don't see a purpose for not having a universal MB input unless there are multiple ways to MB a move, but I haven't played the game, so I have no idea how it will feel.

I'm also concerned about the passive meter rebuilding, but again, I haven't played it. I just don't want people's #1 strategy to be walking back. Also....why is FIRST HIT even a thing at this point? It rewards nothing, as both players begin with full meters.

they should never have said changing it back was on the table, this is officially out of control. They'll be making fun of us at EVO again.
I don't think NRS stating they're open to changes is a laughable offense. I would like it to be set in stone prior to EVO, though. There's exactly 3 months until the game's release. I feel like any of the major gripes people have would be voiced during the beta, which I don't think would be a huge deal if they had to be tweaked a bit:

- Walk speed

- Meter burn being one universal input

- Fatal Blows being unavailable if blocked or whiffed

- Meter no longer being gained passively

These are just some examples I've seen. It doesn't matter either way, because elitist Street Fighter fans (even though their current game is absolute shit) will still shit on our game. And the Smash virgins will still be booing during anything non-party game related.

I'm a little on the fence about the new inputs but I'll wait until the beta to see how I feel about them. I think if people dont like them, NRS will change it back.

It just feels natural to extend Baraka's chop chop by mashing the same button
These are the most logical responses. Thank you. I do agree. The issue I'm seeing is some of the inputs are not as simple as mashing 1 button, like Barraka - ie: Raiden's Lightning Bolt = bf1 (special)...db2 (amplify). That just seems like putting a layer of chess on top of chinese checkers. It was one thing to learn Mileena's extensions...but a lot of players rock multiple characters any given night they sit down to play. Memorizing 30, 40, 50 Mileena extensions is gonna get hard.

Fujin!
I don't think that a petition will change anything and it's not really necessary anyway, to be honest.

But I do hope that NRS takes the feedback from all the players at The Reveal event and changes it. At higher levels it doesn't make anything harder because it's just one button press (or combination) and pros will be able to do them no problem, hell anyone who plays the game a lot online will be able to learn most of them. But at lower levels and for casuals who don't really go into practice mode, it just makes things harder and less appealing to them.

It just doesn't change much other than making things annoying for casual players, so they should probably change it.

I don’t know about most of the ones I read but I know for a fact the only reason that 63 year old woman was pardoned was because Kim kardashian met with Trump and he was hooking Kanye up because of all the shit he was going through. It had absolutely nothing to do with the petition so if that one is bullshit then it makes me doubt the others.

No offense but change.org is absolutely worthless besides for people like EA who are quick to cave to something as small as a twitter trend.
