MK11 new mechanic was meant to bring players from other fighting games?

[Kratilim]

If the combo's are shorter than MKX's then I'm welcoming that with open arms. I wasn't able to nail anything longer than 10 maybe 12 hit combos. Some of you like the touch of death stuff, but players like me really don't. So more manageable combo's? Yes f*cking please. Makes the game less about finger speed and execution skills and more about strategy and tactics.

Long combos are not what makes a fighting game good.

If anything, these are the more gamefaqs type responses. It's not all about combos guys. The fun of fighting games comes from out-thinking, out-spacing, out-playing your opponent.

your perfect point of view here, fellow .... you nailed it !

I love that Gamefaqs has such a shit forum that's it's become an insult.

16bit said the combos are shorter. And its totally visible too...

The combos are shorter but do the same damage. There will still be meaty combos to style on people. If combos are that big a deal there are a plethora of games you can play, but nrs have also mentioned they wanted to change the focus of the game. Making the game neutral/footsie based is a core fighting game mechanic not just becoming sfv. Either ill see you at launch or I wont but your whining is falling on deaf ears

Whatever their reasons for doing it, I'm very happy with the change in direction.

 

[Derico]

Well i like a more fast paced fighting game. It's just taste.

And im waiting the replies that makes me create this thread...

 

[gitblame]

People who judged how meta of MK11 will play after they saw how some guys play super early build after 45 minutes with the game is something beyond me.

@Derico Show us your gameplay from MKX after 30-45 minutes with the game.

As i said, even 16bit said the combos are shorter.

Game has no run, kinda slow dash, its more footsie oriented.

Its not me man, its fact.

What combos length has to do with zoning being absurd?

And if it's not for you I have great news. There are ton of other fighting games that you can play. Tag games, anime games, 3d games, weapons, martial arts.

I wonder how people who complain about what they saw in zoning department for MK11 survived MKX. Summoner Quan, HQT Predator and Full Auto Jacqui had more crazy stuff than I saw to this point for MK11.

Watch this and get back at me.

Stop with the drama, i love mortal kombat.

And que question of this thread is not about the gameplay, i'll buy on day one.

The question here is boon approach with mk11. The point behind the massive change.

 

[Derico]

Watch this and get back at me.

Already watched, 10x shorter than mkx. And that is not the question of this thread.

I think what he was saying is that some characters will have shorter combos because they will be focused on either zoning or the neutral game and 50/50s. He didn't say there was no long combo potential for other characters, and after a few weeks with the game, people will find long combos trust me.

They have shown Kano has the potential to have long combos. And even in MKX, some characters had longer combos than others, it all depends on their move set and game plan.

So much this!

As for combos they arent the main focus of fighting games. If you get the same damage on 3 hits vs 15 then theres not much pause between the mind games.

True. The point is to win. So how you do that really is irrelevant.

Ideally you'd do it in the most efficient way possible. But if you feel like mixing things up then that's where the combo's come in.

 

[LaidbackOne]

Do long combos give some of u people a boner or what?

 

[Derico]

Well, max played 4 hours and said the combos are basic.

And im with him, he is a capcom fanboy ok, but he is coherent in 99% of what he says.

 

[Espionage]

I love where the pace of the game is going personally. Watching 16 bit and Dizzy play made me appreciate playing. Seeing Ken Morris play made me see how one changes their play based on Krushing Blow requirements. An example is knowing that Sub-Zero's Slide Krushing Blow requires 3 successful slides.

As Reo said MK11 just seems like the fighting game version of chess which is what I prefer. I want to out think my opponent. I want to have options for both offence and defence.

I also want Kombos to be higher execution. I think Kombos should be harder to do an master but I think there should be basic stuff for the casuals to keep them happy.

I think Krushing Blow Kombos should be hard though but optimal in a real match.

I am looking forward to MK11 and the depth it will bring as well as the players it will invite.

I think its a good thing for players from other communities to get involved with NRS games.

Truly hope they love the game and stick around but whether they do or don't. I think this game will have some potential for Longevity if it keeps up the different archetypes and personalities.

Taste pal. Nuff said.

Combos being shorter does not mean they can't be flashy. That Kano combo which Tayler showed at Kombat Kast was pretty sexy and let's be real. Good players will find even better combos day one.

I wouldn't take Max' word on anything that concerns NRS games tbh.

Max is a shill and a scrub, I don't know why anyone listens to him anymore. Not only that, why do you just agree with what someone says without trying it yourself?

 

[Corruption100]

wait did you really just say max is who you go to for opinions on fighting games?....

That "combo" was two enhanced moves. Wow.

 

[Juggs]

I really don’t think Ed Boon has much to do with the inner workings of how NRS games work competitively.

Regardless, this “change” as you put it is one of the best decisions they’ve ever made, imo.
