I use the tourney ones for my five daily matches in KL, but don't touch the ranked mode aside from that and spend all of my time in Kasuals with my own builds. It's much better and allows you to play with actual full characters where you don't just completely ignore various moves you can do...

What does the input buffer on block change mean?

I think all that really needs to be done with pokes is to give them a lot more pushback, so their real use is to get away and reset the neutral. You can't just sit there poking and throwing, everyone is forced to do something else. Something along those lines would solve most of the issues...

I think that more focus should have been put into making a solid base character and then the customization just extends the game play, rather than trying to change it. Characters like Liu Kang or Scorpion are examples of where they actually did this well. They are solid characters just on...

My kid liked playing against me with them in MKX, so there is an audience. I did like the way that they stuck them in their own little place in the back where you could completely ignore them if you weren't part of the tiny percentile which found them interesting as opposed to the way they did...

I find that ignoring that the flawless block mechanic is in the game is the best way to handle it.

Look at me! I'm pretentious. Have all of you properly noticed how pretentious I am yet?

I'll attack, kill him and move onto the next match. If he says over the mic that his controller died and he'll need a second to change the batteries, I'll wait, but other than that, I don't know what the guy's problems are and they're not my problems. I'm not going to sit there staring at a...

Custom, except when I play in KL because they force you to use the stupid ones. I don't like to be forced into unecessary limitations on play style.

I would say that a gimmick is something that only really works if the opponent isn't aware of it. It's very useful if the guy doesn't know about it, but becomes kind of useless if they do. As a trivially basic example, take Scorpion's ability to teleport in the middle of a jump. If someone is...

I get tired of using the same character pretty quickly. Usually, I use someone for about a month and then drop them in favour of someone else in order to keep things interesting.

It's pretty good. They've given characters a lot of good zoning tools, but most everyone else has good counterzoning tools in terms of long advancing moves, teleports, etc which help them get in on the zoners. Zoning is kind of full screen mix up mind game as one person is trying to keep away...

Favorite: Kano - Really love that Snakebite move, but it may just be the buffs to his normals which make it feel so good. Least Favorite: Shao Kahn - It's not the worst variation in the game, but it gives the exact same play style as his Risen Emperor one, but is just worse in every single way...

Ya, Monday night it was doing about 6% less, but they seemed to have fixed it by Tuesday morning.

This. It is literally the exact same game play as the other variation, just worse. If it gave him something new to offset what’s being lost then that would be something and maybe there’d be a reason for it, but there’s not.

In Practice mode, you could amplify it an infinite number of times and it was awesome. I don't know why they'd take that away.

I think that Kano came out a winner. They reversed the unintentional damage nerf he got, so it's just buffs and he got a good third variation.

Well, you do get the useless seeking hammer instead of the useless up hammer, so you get to ignore a different move. It does just seem to take stuff away from him without really adding anything, though. Maybe I’m missing something too, but I don’t see a point to picking this one.

Is it just me or are Blade Charge and Baraka-Serker the exact same move? They do about the same damage, seem to combo from the same strings and both knock the opponent away. Perhaps there’s one or two situational options where one would be better than the other, but it seems a bit redundant...

Did they nerf his damage in the third variation? I was playing around with it yesterday and I seem to remember the same stuff I’m doing today after the patch doing a lot less.
