    The Sindel/Jax 80% reset and NRS’ fighting game philosophy

    Full Kameo bar is the shittiest nerf to anything and should never happen unless a move is just way too good. And there’s no way Jax’s ground pound is worth full kameo bar. Do we really want another Cyrax situation? There’s plenty of other adjustments they can make before that. Such a lazy and...

    Reptile General Discussion

    I was having an issue with this at first. The trick is to keep holding the 2 and not let go while you do the special cancel.

    Reptile General Discussion

    Reptile/Jax got some sauce. Haven't seen anyone talking about those two. Juicy ground pound setups, guaranteed invis setups midscreen and corner, and +100 health is always nice. I've been having fun with that team. Reptile is fucking mid af though. NRS please buff

    Johnny Cage Kombos

    Got some new sauce for yall ;) EDIT: Doing jump 2 instead of jump 3 after the EX Rising Star seems to do more damage for some reason. Optimal bnb goes up to 516.87, but I find it much harder to do than the jump 3 one.

    No. Forward throw turns into a shove when your kameo is on the screen. If they tech it, they should still explode with Cyrax and you can convert

    MK1 Johnny Cage Guaranteed Reset with Cyrax

    Oh, interesting. You could prolly let go of the explosion earlier to try and catch that, but then it wouldn't be an auto confirm. Good to know

    MK1 Johnny Cage Guaranteed Reset with Cyrax

    I'm sorry Johnny gang. As a fellow Johnny/Cyrax enthusiast, I hate to post what's probably the thing that gets this team nerfed. But here it is, This can be done off of basically any hit if you have hype meter. If you catch them with a stray net, you can build full hype, do a safe strike...

    Johnny Cage Kombos

    Yeah. You can't cancel a backdash with block like you can forward dash, so you're mainly just dashing back

    Meterless full hype charge into death in 2 mixups. Don't get hit by Cyrax net ;)

    MK1 Story Spoilers Discussion

    They just pluck random ideas from the 3d era games, rip them apart, crap on them, reshape them, then add them into the story. And people watch it and say “wow what a cool homage to the 3d era. We definitely don’t need those stories retold anymore, they did such a good job representing them...

    Updated Character bios for MK1

    I’m sorry but do we really need more high scale threats after the last game? Liu Kang had to do dragon ball fusion dance with a god to defeat the literal arbiter of the timeline (and he didn’t even really beat her cause the timeline reset already and everyone was gone lol). I feel like MK is...

    Official Mortal Kombat 1 Online Stress Test (Friday-Monday) Discussion

    Minor thing, but intros being in online and not in single player towers feels wrong. Unintended byproduct of sticking them in the loading screen I suppose. Hopefully that’s just a temporary thing, but I don’t know how they’ll fix that

    MK1 Online Stress Test Registration - June 23rd-26th

    Letdown Landsdown is pretty good lol. But honestly tho, that man just sits there and tweets about baseball. Does he run the Mortal Kombat account? What is he doing? They have a veritable mountain of content that they could be showing us. The game is finished. Hell, Tyler could open the game and...

    MK1 Gameplay World Premier - June 8TH [Summer Game Fest]

    I think them pulling back on the gore was a specific choice. Boon has said there’s a new committee on fatalities and they pitch ideas and make sure they don’t go too far: https://blog.playstation.com/2023/06/09/mortal-kombat-1-ps5-hands-on-report-and-ed-boon-qa/ Some fatalities DO get...

    MK1 Gameplay World Premier - June 8TH [Summer Game Fest]

    PSA to the people saying "It's not finished yet. They still have time": The game is three months away from release, likely going gold, printed to disc and shipping to stores within a month or so max. Unless they decided to show us an old build for some reason, this is going to be very close to...

    Toms conversation podcast with Tigerzz

    I was enjoying just reading this thread but I had to comment on this absolutely insane discussion about how MK11 is just as unbalanced as MK9 lmaoo. Yeah a game defined with bugs, literal unplayable matchups and characters so broke they'd probably be insta-banned day 1 if the game was still...

    Predicting the most broken Kustom variations in MK11 Ultimate

    this^. Sickle snag gets him 30+ % off of anti airs, air to airs, f221, 212 (whatever that string launcher is), and ending with sickle snag itself gets you great oki. I'd say its a must have, but Noob has a couple of really good options for customs. Sickle snag/tele combo, spirit ball, low...

    How to create an unbiased political Twitter feed?

    For good leftist commentators, I recommend Sam Seder (The Majority Report), Secular Talk, and Democracy Now. They're fair but from a leftist perspective. I don't know many rational right wing commentators nowadays sadly. Maybe check out Saagar Enjeti. Right winger, co-hosts a show called The...

    The whole "Joel was too soft" complaint is completely unfair and doesn't have nearly enough context:
