If you know me you know I absolutely hate parries. I think SF3 is by far the worst game in the franchise, and I hate the implementation of parries in SF6 too. If I feel it becomes an overbearing mechanic I will 100% stop playing it. I’m too busy these days to play games I don’t enjoy. That...

So after playing some MK11 (Frost <3) I gotta say I absolutely hate the flawless block system and I will be very hesitant to buy 12 if it comes back. I’ve always disliked these “Perfect Block” style mechanics in FGs because in order to make these mechanics worth using devs always put in attacks...

Run button. There are other things I don’t like but running is MK12 is the only automatic deal breaker. Also my buddy won’t buy it without Reptile or Ermac.

I’ve been on the internet a long time and this is possibly the most obvious troll I’ve ever seen Cmon y’all really responding seriously to a post like this?

This isn’t incorrect, but it also isn’t really a helpful statement. It’s like saying car engines can never be 100% fuel efficient so manufacturers shouldn’t bother trying to make vehicles with better gas mileage. Perfect balance doesn’t need to be the goal to make a more balanced roster worth...

I main Frost and while she definitely isn’t top tier saying she is bottom 5 makes her sound a lot worse than she actually is. Bottom 5 in this game isn’t as bad as it is in other games where at that level the character is probably incomplete and borderline unplayable.

A bit beyond the main topic of this thread, but differing hp values is more often than not a terrible way to balance characters. HP values do matter, but devs typically don’t account for the fact that strong-but-low hp characters have everything they need to offset their starting disadvantage...

For me MK11 is good but not ambitious enough to be great, and it’s mostly due to the variation system. They’ve been afraid of going all in on it since day 1 and it makes the system feel phoned in instead of game defining. Custom moves that overwrite better default moves for no reason. Trash...

This is all 100% true, which is why I’m not bothered by there being optimal builds you always run if you want to win. However, i don’t think this fact should be used as an excuse to not even try making other options worth picking. Some of the bad options are really bad, and it’s immediately...

What are those dirt marks on Mileena’s face? Nah but seriously, looks hype.

I like black Mileena but that that mouth is not it. Looks like she has fucking burns marks on her face instead on an actual maw lol

Does anyone know a good corner combo for the f23 KB? Even when I can end with them on the correct side, they are still way farther out of the corner than they start the combo (like 3 full dashes distance). In fact it seems like Mileena gets better damage if she starts the corner.

I feel like Royal Protection needs to be down there with fade or dancing fans. It’s slightly better since it can actually be used against some characters, but it’s still terrible trash I would never pick. Year long recovery and only destroying one fireball makes it a garbage anti-fb tool. Damage...

Out of curiosity, what do you guys think is the best build without half-blood stance? Low Fan and Ground War are good, but I feel like the rest of the options are kinda meh.

I’m not gonna risk a ban using a trainer for some cosmetics, especially since I don’t even play towers myself. That’s what AI fighters are for lol

Not sure what makes a game hype overall, but here are some things that I believe add to it. 1. Comebacks: extremely hype, but imo only when it’s a real comeback due to player skill or conservation of resources. Devs trying to push them by handing the losing player a gun like Fatal Blow or...

Yeah my whole thing with the princess is that I really don’t ever have a good gameplay reason to play her use her. Most of my time is split between Frost (my main), Mileena, Rain, and Kitana. Other than Mileena’s stubby b1 whiffing there is never a time where I think to myself “man I wish I...

If she had an 11f b1 or real movement I’d still be annoyed about b2 whiffs but at least she’d be more well rounded. That’s my whole issue with her...everything she has besides fan tosses, lift, ass, and half-blood stance is kinda mediocre.

Is potato in this context supposed to mean really good? I’m fine with that being the case but I really hate when big names drop these big takes on Twitter with no context. I don’t care if she’s broken good or unplayable just explain why.

Those changes look pretty fair to me, though I’d also like to see her get oki off at least one of her throws. No KB and no oki makes them feel pretty trash. Also what is Edenian Fade good for? I’m in the lab right now and it seems totally ass. I wouldn’t even use it if it was a free base kit...
