i think back to block was done to make sure the game isn't tattooed with that MK mechanic nrs have said multiple times that they wanted to step away from mk with this game

I don't remember those words. I do remember Hector mentioning he still has hopes for a MKvsCapcom game lol.
I understand your opinion, but the game works the way it is. There is Armor in the game for those that don't want to worry to much and a fair portion of the kast even has Safe Armor. You don't have to make MK more like Street Fighter for it to be good. It's good as it is.
A well balanced MK game with back to block would be welcomed to me, but definitely not the majority. Every MK game has had a block button. It would be cray without one.
The unblockables in SFIV are this: hard-to-block crossup scenarios that work because of how funky they made the hurtboxes during block animations in the game. In order to replicate this, you have to make the exact same mistakes the SFIV team did during development.
Maaaaaaayynneee... they are your opinions but ssf4ae2012turboultraalphax doesnt play it self no matter how much you think it does, it doesnt look like you have played any back to block games for long periods or you as a person just dont agree with the way your eyes transfer information to your brain and then translates then to finger movements
I'm quite aware of how they work Dontay. I stopped playing sf4 a little before their discovery though. I feel very hype for this game, and I feel like if time allows this may be my next competitive fighter. I think people are putting way too much emphasis on holding back to block though. Like it never really bothers me much when I switch back and forth, but I have been playing FG's since I was a kid. I feel like blocking is something that comes with knowledge, and understanding of the characters not something that can improve our "horrible" fundamentals
nope just ga gonna be hard to get in on
Dude i was the top 25 Dan in North America in SSF4. I have been playing games that require me to hold back to block since SF2 vanilla edition.
It's not necessarily the crossups that are huge, it's the ways back-to-block is implemented, and everything else done to accomodate for this. No block button = dashes can no longer be cancelled, which puts a larger emphasis on being able to abuse walking. This is simply further emphasised by the choice of contact blocking, which eliminates whiffing normals to lock you into place (This is largely due to the existence of strings).
Would Sonya's F22MS cancel be considered a link? I always thought there should be links in MK9 considering all these normals/specials that are +10 and up on hit and can't be combo'd with.
you do realize that holding back to block means you can't walk forward and block and not lose any ground right? In any SF game you didn't want to just block because you either 1) walked yourself to the corner or 2) downbacking which mean you can't block high so you're giving the opponent the oppurtunity to jump in.
HAHAHA You took the words out of my mouth
They did mention Lego Marvel.
Yes I clearly understand what understand how to play sf i have played every Sf since SF2. the thing is its not tat big of a deal as y'all are amke it out to be. I understand how those unblockables work and how to defend against them. MK9 isn't my first fighting game nor is it my first competitive one so I know a great a deal about how other games work, the meta behind them, The point I'm trying to make was that everything you are going to have to know in injustice you should already be somewhat doing in MK. You should know spacing, how a hitbox works, how frame data works, how screen positioning works, what combos work better where and why. Those are fundamental tings that aren't gonna change. Holding back to block doesn't restrict your movement as much as you think it does. In Ssf4, and SS$AE2012 I play Deejay A charge character which means I'm constantly holding Down/back. I have to hold down back when I Jump I have to hold it during my normals, I have to know how to buffer it for my dash ultra2 to work. It's not gonna change much. Maybe I'm just speaking for me, but that is my opinion from my experiences
