"130 ms is more legit than Labbing" - TYM
@SixPathsOfHate thats an excuse, i never have this issue
They should certainly cost more than 1 defense bar that’s for sure.
Its not really an excuse but more of a fact. If every button were an individual hit instead of a string of hits then one would be able to react to breakaway with more consistency but currently its doing the string and guessing if the opponent is going to break. At certain heights it doesnt matter how long the string is because you will still recover fast enough to be at an advantage even if they breakaway but with characters whose strings/specials dont knock up high enough it becomes a straight up guessing game because you either guess it and d2 for max damage assuming you have enough time too which is another issue in itself or you continue on your with string because you HAVE to commit to a string since most characters cant juggle more than 1 normal and risk the breakaway and this game has Dial up combos.
"Neutral" isn't neutral depending on your character. Breakaway gives the person on offense the "advantage" while being not as resource intensive as combo breakers were in MK9/X or even air escapes in INJ2.
This ^
Because it can be because your character you play since not all characters deal with this issue equally. It could be that it doesnt happen as often to you. Everyone plays the game differently and different playstyles lead to different things. I am betting more on the first but to say you have never had this issue sounds like a stretch. Pretty sure everyone has had the issue of doing a combo and dialing up the string only for the opponent to break out and punish you for doing said string. If not then you must be one lucky bastard.
I play Sub & it happens often. All of his 30% plus BnBs require your opponent to be airborne. Once they see me use his B1 string, it’s breakaway time and I’m getting punished.
OK so i thought about what youre saying and its legit. Best example i can give is this: With kano i have the options to juggle with 3 moves for bnb.
I'd prefer the breakers in mk9/mkx because at least then the situation was reset which was the purpose of the breaker in the first place. What happens before or after that is MU dependent. But here with breakaway, it just feels like it's just saving you from some combo damage, if u make a read and time it well you might be able to punish some strings but that's if you can get the breakaway to come out, idk about you but it's hella inconsistent for me. I just perfer the straight forward "get off" of the breaker vs what we have now.
In short, consistency is better if you are spending resources for it.
I actually like the sound of that.
fuck yeah, agreed !
Exactly! they worked perfectly in MK 9 and MK X, hell even MK vs DC and MK A.
But you did get that with breakers. Variations that had specials that took meter could use those to stop the opponent from breaking. You could also take notice that your opponent had bar and could alter you combo to use projectiles which could not be broken out of. I remember playing as Shinnok and seeing that my opponent had 2 bars coming up so I ended with Hell sparks to win the round. Now not everybody could react and counter it in the same way but there were options for most if not all variations and there was consistency with breakers.
