    MK9 2021 Tier list discussion

    Wow reading through this, I really miss the janky mk9 poke system. It was so weird with the different hit advantage on stand vs. crouch and the whole counter poke meta was so cool.

    MK9 2021 Tier list discussion

    Lmao I open TYM on a whim for the first time in years and we have an mk9 tier list thread? Hold on let me get caught up so I can start downplaying. EDIT: Okay looks like it just got revived from a month ago but still. On the whole punishing d1s thing, I do remember punishing them with cage f3...

    Coming Back After a Layoff- STRESS

    So I struggle a bit with something similar but more long term. I played mk9 a ton and was pretty decent at it and was playing with a lot of top players and stuff. Then I ended up taking a break while at school during mkx and a lot of inj2. Coming back on the tail end of inj2 and then this game I...

    Joker Movie Discussion **Major Spoilers Inside**

    Hell yeah death to the author. I would disagree that there is no support for it in the text - Joker while on the TV show says a specific line about how it is the same evil people in society that decides both what is right and wrong also decide what is funny or not. But for the most part I agree...

    Joker Movie Discussion **Major Spoilers Inside**

    What a clusterfuck of a movie. Somewhat tries to conflate Antifa, mental health, class struggle, and people getting too "offended" at jokes nowadays all together. The movie is obviously angry but it is a very broad self centered anger. There is something in there about how the character...

    Remember I said if it doesn't break the rules then it is time to change the rules. Now imo both of the posts I quoted would fit the description and I think they should be taken down or edited and that there should be infractions - for SURE the second one with the white supremacist rhetoric. As...

    I will certainly recognize that this is a bit contentious and a full discussion of it at the very least is out of scope for this thread. That being said just a few quick things and maybe if more people are interested in further discussion there can be another thread or a PM: In my opinion this...

    Okay I know you have PMed me but once again this needs to be said publicly, Sargon of Akkad is a fucking clown. Get that shit out of here. This is a guy who responded to a politician talking about commonly receiving rape threats with "I wouldn't even rape you #feminismiscancer" and then when...

    Yeah alright I am going to call bullshit on this too. First of all you literally just misgendered her. There is an edit button for a reason go fix it. But your opinion of trans people here is honestly just pretty misinformed so my suggestion is maybe take some time and listen to some transgender...

    I PMed you as requested but I do want to publicly say in response that saying TERFs are a "multifaceted issue" and calling gender reassignment surgery "genital mutilation" is some serious bullshit. TERFs can go ahead and fuck off. Not going to just let that be left as the last public comment in...

    The person who made this thread tweeted that there were too many SJWs on FGC twitter like a week ago - go back and look at the threads about the complaints of poor working conditions at NRS from when this game came out. Look at some of the opinions around how the Infiltration situation has...

    What a terrifying idea of a person - a TERF that also posts on TYM. Makes me fucking shiver. I know I am preaching to the choir by replying to you with this but at some point we really are going to have to come to terms with what kinds of political opinions are common in the FGC. Coming back to...

    (Discussion) The Unprecedented Stated of MK11

    They aren't really dying faster though are they? Timeline wise it has seemed pretty consistent. Both injustice games have had shorter lifespans because people care more about MK in general in this community, but where are you getting the idea that the games are dying faster? Also mk9 was a...

    (Discussion) The Unprecedented Stated of MK11

    I'm gonna push back on the Inj2 being bland narrative just a little bit. At the end of the game's life we saw Joker and Black Canary winning tournaments, who have some of the most balls to the wall looping offense type kits. We saw Blue Beetle start to do well and that character had some crazy...

    (Discussion) The Unprecedented Stated of MK11

    Haven't listened to the podcast yet but have read through this thread so I will give some thoughts and listen to that later. Coming from somebody who has played all of the games pretty seriously in some capacity and doesn't love MK11 all that much: Complaining that the OS is unintentional and...

    Your Saltiest Moment in MK11?

    Speaking of my saltiest moment in mk11 thus far is when Ermacio wasn't responding to my text messages today asking to play, and then I got matched up with him in ranked. I was legitimately salty about it and played terribly, getting 2-0d. Didn't even respond to my GGs message :(

    Your Saltiest Moment in MK11?

    As somebody who still plays mk9 fairly regularly whenever Ermacio, DrFlash, or Ozzyguitar is in town, that game is a broken piece of trash that needs way way more than just 1 patch. It is fundamentally broken and is way way worse than mk11. Come on dude lol

    online stuff that just feels off

    I play 95 percent offline (fortunate enough that my training partners all live within 10 minutes of me) and when I do go online it drives me fucking nuts. 50 ms or even lower tilts the fuck out of me because it just feels slightly off to the point of making playing actually uncomfortable? I...

    What Can Jacqui Punish With b2?

    I do use it for an easy punish after ducking cassie's second shot in mb low gun. you probably can just dash up punish anyway but b2 is consistent and easy. I imagine that is just a gimmick that cassie players should already be phasing out anyway but if the situation comes up.

    Fighstick feints struggle

    Game is fine on arcade stick. My personal layout is 1 2 block stance switch 3 4 throw interact I use 1+3 for throw, use my pinky for amplify, same with for stance switch and for jacqui doing her cancels aren't bad at all. Been playing these games on stick since mk9 and have had no issue. OP...
