    Advent of Code 2020 discussion

    Advent of Code 2020 starts in 10 hours. Who else is in? For those unfamiliar TLDR; 25 coding challenges over the next 25 days. Assuming we have enough code monkeys here on TYM, if there's interest we should definitely start a TYM leaderboard.

    Battleborn Discussion thread

    I've been insanely in love with this game since release. Stopped to play Doom for a bit, but now I'm back on it. For those unfamiliar, Battleborn is a first person MOBA game with a strong focus on building base defenses and guiding minions across the map, while also competing for certain...

    Tech - Covert Ops Sonya Post-F2 Pressure Options

    F2 is one of Sonya's best pokes. It has very good range (better than b1!), and it is not very negative on block (-3). F2B1 is a hard knockdown but doesn't lead to good advantage, so I don't like to use this full string in the neutral as much. I will generally use it if I catch someone jumping...

    Jump Attacks vs AA in MKX (part 1)

    Jumping in Mortal Kombat X is ridiculously safe. So much focus has been on 50/50's, but little given to the actual neutral game that leads up to said 50/50's. I'd argue THIS is what really ails the MKX meta-game. 1) Given the hitbox of jump attacks, the only way to anti-air in many situations...

    "Kombat at Home" an upcoming app-suite/API for MKX!

    Kombat at Home Beta-release: April, 2015 ** BIG UPDATE ** Hey everyone! Thought I'd update progress on KAH. I am still targeting an April release, though it will now be rather unlikely I'll be able to launch at the same time as Mortal Kombat X as I had hoped. Expect a launch towards the end...

    The Evilhood: Bad Guy/Girl Domination Thread

    Hail Satan brothers. This is a thread for my fellow evil (or chaotic neutral, guess that works too) character players. The only requirement to join is one must recite the Bad Guy Affirmation: "I am bad, and that's good. I will never be good and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be...

    MK X and the state of story/writing in fighting games

    The writing in Tekken is cringeworthy The writing is Soul Calibur makes my ears want to jump off my head Dead or Alive’s story mode actually caused me to lose brain cells. Killer Instinct doesn’t even have a story mode. Street Fighters attempt at story is so weak I’m not sure why they even...

    A non-controversial thread: What's your favorite cute animal?

    We really need this right now. I'm starting to click on pop-up ads on TYM just so I can get away from the flame threads... SO WHATS YOUR FAVORITE ANIMAL, AND WHY IS IT BETTER THAN OTHER ANIMALS? I like seals, but more specifically, any kind of pinipped species (Seal, Sea Lion, Walrus, etc)...

    Tech Lex's Inescapable Reset Loop (FoS only)

    We all knew this was coming eventually, so here it is: Before this was an infinite this was just a super-strong meterless vortex. Credit goes to @rev0lver for finding that MB Probes + Level 3 Lance blast could be combo'd off of for a guaranteed reset. Watch the video, then read the rest of...

    Tech Some probe tech

    Here's some probe stuff I've been messing around with. Both involve getting a full combo off a d3 using regular probes. The first is a way to make Lex's vortex meterless- though with a small added risk. One downside of the corner vortex is it isn't fully meterless. Lex gets a corner meterless...

    Strategy Lex vs Raven: part 1

    Lex has three big issues: Raven 3-7 ? Sinestro 3-7 Cyborg 3-7 These characters take steamy dumps on him all day, and Lex cannot get in on them, or outzone them. I think Raven might be different now. Warning: this thread is going to be filled with a bunch of my usual theory-fighter BS...

    Tech Lex earthshaker setup

    This setup is inspired by Doomsday's earthshaker. The point is to put the enemy in a situation where they have to block high and then low EXTREMELY fast in order to successfully block the move. This is actually even MORE difficult to block then Doomsday's earth-shaker, because the opponent...

    Tech Ending Combos in b2

    Lex players use different combo enders depending where we want the enemy to land, u3, 22, 11 etc. But I feel b2 is horribly under-utilized. ***The standard combo is something like b13,MB grav pull, b3, j2, [ender+setup]*** ***The setup I am using here is (b13/112/F2),MB grav pull, b3...

    Footsies/Walkspeed data

    So, unfortunately I'm extremely tired, and I'm moving in for senior year of college. So this is incomplete, and not as well tested as it should be, but here's what I got so far. The question is how many times must any character walk/block to get from fullscreen to touch-distance in between...

    MB Grav mine glitch/exploit

    Let's see if anyone can get anywhere with this. I've yet to find a combo that can get much more than 40% using this glitch. I'm just hoping someone can find an exploit that forces NRS to fix this, in which case they might actually take a look at MB grav mine, and see how completely useless it...

    An idea for a program to help with Injustice matchup strategy

    So I'm pretty bored at work, and I got an idea that I figure I can actually finish in one or two days. It would be a program that I think may greatly help players learn strategies for each character. I'd like to know if this program would be something players on here would find useful, and...
