    Is anyone one else using scorpion kameo to mix off of b3? Is it legit or is there a way to blow it up?

    My fears for the MK movie have been realized...kinda (spoiler tags included)

    Today I learned TJL's Steppenwolf is Corrupted Shinnok. Thanks Crimson.

    What is this "hardest AI" bullshit you keep bringing up? Let me simplify it for you. Go into the lab, set the AI to "autoblock" and movement to "duck", then practice jailing off your pokes.

    Lao's been able to jail s2 since release, and s1 since the august patch. It's different across the cast. Lab it.

    Lotus Fist anti-wakeup OS

    Was recently inspired by @Illmatix to start looking into Orbiting Hat setups on oki again and may have come up with something that stuffs rolls as well. It's pretty straight forward. After the setup, walk up making sure to hold forward and hit 4 at the right time. If they back roll twin kicks...

    Sonic Fox's Official Post Patch Tier List

    It's important to note that Sonicfox made a comment on his stream as to why he placed Sub Zero higher on this list compared to his last, and it's exactly that reason why his opinions should be taken with a grain of salt. ... Well, I mean... There's always...

    Kung lao d1 and d3 jail question

    Yeah d3 has always jailed into 21, problem is both hits are highs so anyone crouch blocking can just blow it up. Now that we can jail into 12 you're better off using that, especially since we now have enough hit advantage to confirm off of 121.

    The EVO 2019 MK11 Hype, Salt and Discussion Thread!

    I think Theo beat Scar going off of his last tweet...? We might be seeing Theo make top 8 at his mk11 debut.

    The EVO 2019 MK11 Hype, Salt and Discussion Thread!

    Honestly I think Robin was one of the better picks to take into tournament since he went even with a good portion with the top tiers and arguably beat a few. The even matchups definitely looked & played difficult, but he had to tools & damage to deal with them.

    The EVO 2019 MK11 Hype, Salt and Discussion Thread!

    KingGambler's been eliminated. Hayatei's my favorite player to watch after f0xy, but let's not act as if robin wasn't high-mid for the majority of, and possibly top 10 in the latter half, of i2's lifespan.

    EVO 2019 Commentators and Times

    So... MK11 starts 11pm est. If we account for the usual TO shenanigans, schedule delays, and other miscellaneous setbacks that will inevitably occur running such a large event on a compressed schedule, we're potentially looking at a 12-1am finals on the east coast, if not later. We eatsports now...

    I think 6f pokes like Geras' can blow it up but they have to be frame perfect.

    How do you feel so far?

    This post had me curious so I checked Mr. Wiz's twitter and MK11 is at 1.5k entrants. MKX year one had about 1.1k from what I remember, and it was still a sunday game back then.

    Why don’t pros use Getup Attacks?

    It's a combination of all three. But wakeup normals can't stuff meaties unless they're mistimed, which doesn't happen often at that level. And yeah wake up u2's really feel the least appealing as far as WU options go. Lack of invincibility aside, even when you make the read on a jump there's...

    Why don’t pros use Getup Attacks?

    Because they probably weren't going for meaties when they got hit by wake up buttons, they were going for shimmies. Reason why wake up buttons is such a strong option is because of the current strike/throw meta.

    Kung Lao Competitive Discussion

    For several reasons I'm guessing. Notice how f0xy chooses not to end the majority of his combos into hard KD? Since you can't tech roll in MK11, the value of hard knockdowns is now less than what it was in previous NRS titles. In certain situations, depending on who you talk to, it makes more...

    POLL: What Buffalo did... Was it wrong?

    What happened on stage today probably runs deeper than just Scar's tweet. I mean, look at the post on Dragon's twitter about Buffalo lol. Yeah it's mostly good natured ribbing, but it's obvious that the scene's narrative surrounding Sub's mechanics/players has been derogative for the better part...
