Trying to get community consensus on this point. Someone told me that REO mentioned on his stream that the Mk11 NDC is even better than the Mk9 version, but trying to understand why. Other than the bar usage, the biggest difference to me is that you seemingly cannot cancel the dash mid-dash or...

I have had the Playstation brand headset for a few years now, and after an hour or so of having it on, my ears heat up to the point they feel like they've been hit with a scorpion fireball. Perhaps its the leather or leather-like material... Anyone have a good recommendation for a more...

I won't use the P word here, but for online play can we please have a mechanism to expose the unwired bottomfeeders? Even with the miracle of GGPO netcode, WIFI players may go unnoticed until you start the match with them (without a WIFI indicator that shows up immediately when you are paired to...

we heard shao Kahn will play a role in story. Could this be how he fits in? Kronika was PISSED that raiden sliced shinnok’s godly dome off, what better way to punish earth realm’s dark protector than to revive the fallen Kahn to F up his plans somehow...

Assuming NRS is not able to achieve perfect balance, which character most deserves to be S Tier in MK11 based on their MK history, story and how strong they have been in prior games?

The various X-ray-inspired cinematic cut scenes of fatal blows and krushing blows are amazing at first, second and potentially even 50th glance. But many in this community like to grind long sets no matter which NRS game it is. Imagine, in the aggregate, the total percentage of time within...

Anyone else think this game looks rediculously hype? It looks like it may be able to accomplish what No Man's Sky wanted to accomplish but has seemingly failed at, a procedurally generated open universe, but looks far less rudimentary and cartoonish. Its main priority seems to be PC, but I hope...

Been hitting the lab a bit with ronin and trying to figure out what the optimal use for quick call is in the attacking context (e.g. other than the obvious use of getting the sword back quickly when it's on the ground). Is it mainly for mindgames / frame advantage in certain situations?

Mileena. Alien. Takeda. Take a combined index of recent offline and online results and can there be any question? The scope of this analysis is top 3 only, not top 5 and not a comprehensive tier list. All three variations considered as part of the complete character. Only Mileena makes top...

As cool as Injustice 2 may be, I’d be very disappointed if the MKXL scene withered up and died as soon as the Injustice sequel is released. Like many people here, I put a lot of time into training in this game and don’t want it to all be in vain or a waste of time. I want to see this game...

Regardless of where people place Mileena on the tier list, I have a difficult time against this character. One threshold question in pretty much any matchup is whether you should have an attack first mentality or a more patient read & react type strategy. I haven't gotten either approach to...

Time to reflect and look forward, to turn the tables, to let bygones be bygones and all the rest of that cliche fluff. What is your MKX resolution for 2016? I need to get to more offline events in 2016, and also stop pressing buttons when opponents are plus. Additionally, I need to keep...

This thread is based off an interesting exercise that the UK gents came up with in a recent HMK podcast. As we near the end of the year, who are the best players of each character? The HMK guys did this live on the podcast and were instructed to say the best player of each character immediately...

Put on your spectator hat here and forget who you love or hate to fight against when you are playing the game. Which characters do you think are the most and least hype to watch in tournament and why? For me, the least hype is Kobu Tanya - just so incredibly REDUNDANT. Kung lao is on the low...

Imagine that there are no specials in the game, no armored moves, no x rays. Just the same normals as they currently exist, with the same frame data, etc. (and the same combos just without any special cancels). Which character would now be the most dominant? While I admittedly do not have...

Hear me out. We all know MKX is an offensive game, but are top players really considered top because they have the best offense? No. I have watched pretty much every major, the vast majority of ESL top 8s, and a ton of other top MKX play since the game's release: in my opinion, the rarely...

Got in a debate in a twitch chat the other night regarding who the safest character in the game is, taking into account all normals, specials, strings, etc. My question was who in this game is safer than Cassie? Someone replied "lots of other characters are safer than Cassie", which made zero...

Who thrives most on a weak connection?

I'm at a loss here people, help me out! I sit there low blocking and get chipped to death or opened up. How do you counter that annoying bastard?

If you are able to play multiple characters at a high level and strategically select particular characters to exploit certain matchups in tournament, this is a testament to your mastery of a fighting game and more power to you. Am I missing something here? Why is it considered an insult to call...
