It would NOT be impossible to implement custom variations. NRS has proved time and time again that they're not good giving character variations so allowing us to have the freedom to do so made the game and the whole cast great.
Play geras, he's a mini kotal done right.
He might be better if he had both cut and totems at the same time. Pity the tournament/ranked variations don't have that so we have to judge the character by what he can actually do. A great way to buff him would be to just get rid of air cat and give him cut in his second variation.
Agree.
games like ssb4 and SC all had custom loadouts in the game but none were allowed in tournament due to the time it would take to set up between rounds, the sheer lack of balance, and how impossible it is to prepare against every combination of moves in the game. the entire point of custom characters is to build the best possible character you can, and that directly contradicts the core foundation of competitive play completely. the studio already announced they're looking into implementing customs into competitive play but it's looking like they'll just end up adding more presets in the future and that's the only viable decision at this point
This is why Reddit casuals are a bad thing
Honestly I think they could make players lock in before character select eliminating counter picking and long waits. They are only selecting 2-3 moves as long as they have to do so before character select and don't know opponents it shouldn't take long. I mean I know exactly what I would pick.
Ummm not sure wtf YOU are talking about, but what I do know is that there's always a solution. Its not hard to implement custom variations at tournaments. Just set a timer for people to set their variations for not 30-60 seconds TOPS. And everybody already know what moves they want anyways, so that be easy!
I picked up kung lao hes fun and looks stylish
not sure what part of what I said was confusing, but it's been tried, and it failed. customs aren't meant for competitive play, that's why you never see in tournaments. it's a pipe dream, and will never happen
SSb4 and SC. Not sure what that is
MK isn't the first fighter to do this, buddy. and just because you don't know soul calibur (and for some reason when brought up you don't bother to look it up, just say "i dont know what that is" so you can proceed with your ignorance to then instantly say "it hasnt been tried")
Again, b2 is has 28 frames of startup, and is full combo punishable on block since it doesn’t pushback. The b12 “50/50”? We thought of that when we were labbing too. You can fuzzyguard it. Meaning you stay crouching, and then stand when you see the overhead, her 50/50’s aren’t real, and the low projectile is also full combo punishable.
THIS. I’ve been saying this to friends. It’s STRANGE how purposeful they were in preventing mixups. So now you’re primary avenue for damage is safe strings, of which there are very few. So you’re left throwing out the same move and waiting for a confirm. I’m trying to give it a chance though. Definitely has an odd feel to it.
i keep forgetting MK is just living room casuals that are completely cut off from the FGC. thank you for helping clear that up because i'm over trying to explain the basic foundation of fighting games for a community still screaming for combos or implementing casual elements into competitive scenes
In the same thread you have people crying about Noob and Shao kahn. What do you expect? People are actually complaining about high damage chars with great footsies just because they can't mindlessly throw things without hit confirming or spacing.
First of all, I know do know Soul Calibur and Im playing it now. I got confused because SC does not have custom variations whatsoever. So your example did not make sense.
This is the NRS community gold standard
lol right my example didn't make sense because you assumed the only SC to mention is the newest one. because you failed to realize that there were 5 other SC games prior to this one
