    What is your favorite WB Advertisement in the Mortal Kombat games?

    Im glad the top players are speaking up about custom variations

    Towards the end of this video, you can see Sonic Fox go over what he thinks strong players in MK11 are, but he also speaks about how making tiers wouldn't matter as much if custom variations were a factor in tournament play. I think he has a good rationale for at least considering other moves...

    Sub Zero Gear Optimization

    This is a casual thread for single player gear stuff. You can stack two if the same augment in any piece of gear. The chance of rolling two if the same augment is low, but I've done it successfully and want to share some augment set-ups. Ninja Mask- you want a double chaos roll on your ninja...

    Optimal AI Loudouts for Grinding Towers

    Ok so grinding towers is necessary for unlocking content. Even with some adjustments some towers are still a bit more trouble than they are worth. AI can help with modifiers because they aren't affected by chaos modifiers, generally dont turtle against aura modifiers, can use consumables...

    "Tournament" Variations seem Slapped together

    Its very telling that they waited until the absolute last minute to give concrete information on variations after MONTHS of hounding them. Then they revealed they'd only be using two variations per character. So then people wonder how these two variations would be formatted. Turns out NRS didnt...

    D'Vorah Redesign Analysis/Opinion

    Lots of ppl on Twitter, etc. saying she is too uggo this time around and that she like the worst character ever for some reason. I think we should take a step back and realize what her role and appearance was in MKX and why MK11 is a natural evolution and improvement on that front. MKX -...

    About Rousey's Vocal Performance...

    Honestly guys she doesnt have a lot of range. It's a clear step down from past performances of Sonya. I really don't know what they were thinking. That's just my opinion, watch the vid and decide for youself. It's as of she's merely speaking lines and less like she's acting. Every other...

    Really Sad everyone is Doomsaying MK11

    Watching major streamers shit on the game because they can't run in like MKX is really sad. Ppl say they don't want to cater to casuals but are literally whining about zoning. I'm scared they will hijack the conversation of this game. EDIT: For the record, I mainly talking about ppl with large...

    Who Will Job This Time in Injustice 2?

    If you guys don't know what a jobber is, they're the characters who show up to lose and make the person beating them up look better. Easiest examples from Injustice was probably Raven, Bane and Harley Quinn. In MKX, Reptile, Ferra/Torr, Barry, Mileena, and Kitana all jobbed pretty hard. In...

    Question What if MKX had legitimate Character Themes?

    Character themes are important for making the characters in the game feel like established mainstays with their own personalities and flavors and styles. Now I know that the characters in MK are widely known throughout video games (everybody knows Subby and Scorp at the very least), that being...

    Cyber Sub-Zero can punish string gaps with his B2 overhead/backdash attack. I've posted a video example as a frame of reference. This was orignally brought to my attention by @SaltShaker and I felt that this tech deserves its own thread (much like the Unbreakable string gap punishing thread for...
