I actually disagree with you the advantage is very noticeable imo and has led to rock paper scissors MANY times in tournaments here on the EC at least. Also it was happening at KIT. It matters quite a bit unfortunately and was a a major flaw of the game.
Dude who cares? Do you not see that's an equal opportunity for both players?
The analogy of home field advantage doesn't really work because all of the stadiums are still symmetrical. They still follow a standard ruleset. It's not like one side of the field has an endzone that is half the size of the other side.
So you rush down fools do not mind actual rock/paper/scissors gameplay (i.e., safe 50/50 mix ups that loop), yet blockable interactable objects will apparently break the game in Mortal Kombat X.
Just because it was minimal doesn't mean it wasn't bullshit. Are you saying people wouldn't choose to turn P1 advantage off if it was an option? That would be ridiculous.
Interactables were not blockable in INJ
People would turn it off, but even if they didn't turn it off, it wouldn't matter. I can't name one person who knew about the P1 advantage and claimed it made them win/lose.
This is because what you're asserting is bankrupt and most of the community knows it. You're trying to cling to an as-of-now discredited position and blame that on other people's stubbornness. This can be revisited when we have the game, if it seems to be a problem in any demonstrable way. You have to accept that it may actually not be deemed an issue, whether you like it or not. Until such a time as that, there is honestly no more to be said in this discussion than what's already been hashed out.
I think it works quite gracefully. Are the stages not generally symmetrical? Do they not also follow the general rule of a 2D plain with a certain amount of length and height as any stadium would? Yes they do. There are things in the stages that can vary, just like a stadium.
Huh mad off topic but an interesting read
Ok, How about after the game comes out when we all have the game we take a poll only involving tournament players and just go off of that and whatever the results are they are. I'm even willing to leave it to only mk9 top 8 placers at only MLG's and Evo's and just leave it to you guys to do decide. I don't care but the one thing I don't want personally is the same attitude that happened in injustice where people just let it rock and then never actually re-evaluated later as a community even though many people actually wanted it.
um... what? I HATE safe 50/50 mixups that loop it's one of the main reasons I didn't play injustice. If MKX has it all over the place then i'll be disappointed for sure but will play for the love of MK. Also it's not about breaking the game, it's about adding more randomness that doesn't need to be there that's all.
OTGs in inj would have been fine if they didn't OTG but scaled at end of combos and easier to back dash or avoid
Why only MK9 placers? Are Inj top 8 players not considered top players?
its ok kitana prime im the evil one here and im gonna bear that tittle cause i deserve it for what i did in injustice. Thanks for having my back though and even though we disagree on this whole thing this is just a difference of opinions i still love you
Who said you were evil? I point out ridiculous behavior no matter who it is. I have no personal agendas or grudges toward anyone.
and it begins lol you never change man and im done acting, see you at events and good luck.
You can punish a blocked dragon punch. You can also bait it out and punish a whiffed one. Still gives a clear advantage if you play the exact same character and the game gives P2 a dragon punch but not P1.
In a very light nut shell, it's about how someone wanted to change something without trying it out and with that came repercussions.
God really we're gonna want to ban interactables for something this nit-picky? I mean yea I'm sure every team that plays football would rather have the side where the wind is at their backs instead of going against it but that doesn't force the NFL to make every game be played indoors. If you lost the game based on something that miniscule and it is eating you up inside, then request a 1P/2P swap. That's what any team does at half time. Jesus.
