    What are your personal goals for MK11?

    Although I've played fighting games my entire life, MKX was the first game I took seriously as a competitor. Since then, I've taken a few more games seriously and learned a lot about the more in-depth aspects of playing a fighting game. In the MK11 hype, like many, I've gone back to MKX and...

    Question What do you do in the first few moments of a match to gauge your opponent's mind set?

    You're playing an opponent you've never played before, and you need to quickly assess what kind of player they are and what weaknesses in their game you can exploit. What do you do?

    Strategy - Ferra/Torr The "Which Variation Should I Pick For Which Match-up?" Thread

    I think it's deep enough into the game's life to have this conversation. The OP will just be a framework for now, and I only know a few match-ups so I'll be heavily relying on F/T community input to help flesh this guide out. I'll make sure to keep it updated with the latest strategy for each...

    How would you teach someone MKX from the ground up?

    If you have not seen it yet, you should definitely watch Gootecks and Mike Ross teaching WWE's Xavier Woods how to play SFV. They start with the very basics of fundamentals and work their way up. It's very concise, simple and easy enough to follow. If we translate the same teaching style to...

    Ideas to give Koins a post-Krypt purpose.

    If you've unlocked the entire Krypt, by this point you're probably the Warren Buffet of Koins and have nothing to do with them. Just for fun, I'd like to hear ideas to make Koins useful again. Mine are, in order of most feasible to never gonna happen: 1. Make hundreds of new Kombat Kard...

    Has anyone encountered a Secret Fight yet?

    Do we know if the secret fights are like MK9 and they're random, but static. Or if they'll only be in specific Living Towers when NRS makes them live?

    Has your MKX hype crossed over into other parts of your life?

    I've been so amped for MKX and spend so much time on TYM that it's started to cross over into things completely unrelated to MK. This last Saturday I was watching boxing with my dad. During Andy Lee vs. Peter Quillin I was referring to head>body combos as mixups and thinking "Lee's got 3 inches...

    Golden Tee '97

    This is a long shot, but does anyone happen to be any good at the Golden Tee arcade games? They have Golden Tee '97 at my barbershop and I just can't seem to get good at it. I do alright for a few holes but eventually the wind and backwards ass roller ball controls get the best of me. Any tips?
