Last thing I'll say on this topic, if you think that the MK1 combo system is somehow inferior to MK9, then it's likely a skill issue.

You should lab more.

Who am I kidding? None of these people actually play the game.

I played an absolute shit ton of MK9 and it is pretty self-evident that MK1 combo system is more versatile.

As a personal preference I do not like how that versatility is implemented but that is purely a factor of taste. The objective reality is that it is more versatile.

Would ya look at that, me and @YagamiFire agree on something. That’s when you know it has to be true!

I had a lot more typed out, but the gist of it was that there simply seems to be a fundamental lack of understanding of what makes games hype to watch. And that no matter how cool or flashy a BnB is, once you’ve seen it hundreds to thousands of times, it’s not going to matter if it’s the same 2 animations over and over or if it’s the same 8 different animations over and over. Combos aren’t what people get excited about when watching hype matches. There’s some exceptions to that, but there’s exceptions to nearly every rule. ¯\(ツ)

Yeah it is, you have fully completed characters with extensive movesets in a very open and free system with a structured combo system.

People were literally begging fore the mk9/x combo system after mk11. And mk 1 is a worse itteration of it with kameos slapped on.

Its haliarious to see you and others lable switch a kameo to do a new bnb as this great variaty lol. You are basically owning yourself and dont even realise it.

That L is yours to hold.

He’s not a competitive player. Most people on here aren’t. If you’re complaining about combo variety, you’re most likely a casual. Which there’s nothing wrong with that, but once you realize that they’re casuals, a lot of the things they complain about or advocate for make a lot more sense.
cmon man , this has nothing to do with comoetative or casual players.

im not a compeative professiaonal player anf i dont want to be but i do enjoy playing fighting games and especially interested in the combo systems.

so yeah i can execute stuff like akuma fdc tekken 7 death combos, triple electric combos etc so even though im not a competative player i sure hell know what im talking about when it comes to fighting game combo systems

So idk what your point is mentioning pros and casual in this converstions or trying to lable me the same as the people who cant execute a special cancle and complain about combos lol.

Serious question. How can you hit Akuma FDC combos and Mishima triple EWGF combos but you at the same time aren't a competitive player? I legitimately don't understand what's happening lol.

Why is that confusing to you?

Combo execution is just one part of competative play, just because i enjoy to lab and practice high execution combos doesnt mean im automatically pro player or good at pvp or interested to grind all the other aspects to become one, like study all the frame data, grind out all match ups, neutral, gameplans , practice reads and reactions etc.

I play for fun and doing high execution combos and breaking combo systems and discovering its possibilities is also very fun and interestig to me.

If you're doing advanced combos and such I just assumed you'd wanna actually test these things out against people lol. But I guess everyone does their own thing.

When i play online i do exactly that, try to land the cool shit you found in the lab on other players its fun. I dont need to be a competative player to do that.

I knew people who would just practice Johnny A-List run cancels in MKX but didn’t really know how to use him. I’d practice Liu Kang and Kitana combos cause the super advanced ones were fun but I’d get cooked using them lol

Yea it reminded me of dude from in Injustice, I think it was Doombawks or however you spell it. Man was the GOAT tech God with Bane, but legit never played player matches except once in a blue moon lol.

Was common with characters that are kinda shit (not Injustice 1 Bane obviously) but have a lot going on. Like Joker maybe, who tf would want to actually have to use him, but labbing is fun.

I love messing with tech, but I don't have time to grind out online matches. It's super relaxing to sit in training mode and just mess with shit. I've found things with Geras that I've never seen anyone else talk about. Like how he can Snap and Rewind at the same time off the same hourglass

This is forever gonna be the curse of MK .. Extremely popular but a majority just stick around for the first quarter complain about things they can’t deal with because they can’t comprehend the more in depth part of the game .. boom player fall off . NRS then tries to compensate by making questionable decisions in terms of balance/ mechanics. Even more complaints . I say fuck the casuals and start sticking to a fucking core formula who goes , goes .

I’ve truly never seen someone try and fail to spell “competitive” 3 different times in the same post, AND spell it differently each time.

Anyway, I was responding to @Vulgar where he mentioned going to tournaments and never seeing you at one and asking if you’ve ever been to one. So I merely responded saying you aren’t a competitive player, so you probably will never be at any offline events.

That said, you don’t have to be a competitive player in order to go to or to participate in offline events. It’s just that if you aren’t a competitive player, it’s less likely that you’ll make the time and money investment to attend a tournament. Also, casuals can be great at any given game. You don’t have to be a competitive player in order to be a good player. I wasn’t referring to your skill at all. Because I have no idea how good you are (and don’t care) and it’s not very relevant to the discussion anyway.
