MK9 by far. On top of the hype of seeing the franchise return to form with 2D (and unexpectedly, considering Midway went bankrupt), I also appreciate that the trailer heavily features gameplay. I'm not as crazy about the current industry standard of hitting us with only a cinematic and then...

There are a lot of games mentioned here that'd go on my list, so I'll just add Hades. It raised the bar so high for singleplayer roguelikes that it's hard to imagine any other developer will come close within the genre in the near future.

B A N E For me to be all in, Bane needs to return, preferably in a state of balance somewhere between his Inj1 and Inj2 iterations. Barring that, I'm down for any of a long list of good Batman villains.

I liked the idea of krushing blows and I could see them continue with it in another game, just with better balancing across the characters and requirements that are at least somewhat probable to meet within a match. However, I'd prefer it if everything else was left behind, but especially the...

Saw the movie the other day. It was pretty much what I was expecting from the trailers: high production-value fights, with some nods to the certain character moves and idiosyncrasies to keep the longtime fans happy, while also taking the lore in a very different direction. I enjoyed it for the...

True, but it depends on brand as to the extent. For example, EVGA's prices only shot up about 50 bucks across the board, not that you can find them at that cost. Very valid points on the pre-builts as well. If you don't care about customization and are building entirely from scratch, a...

Under normal circumstances, you'd be able to build a budget high-endish machine for about $1000 (assuming you already have a monitor), which is invariably cheaper than buying pre-built. If you want a high end machine for gaming, your figure of 1000-1500 dollars is right on the money; any more...

So Kano is just slightly better if you play Dirtbag and that's it? Aight lol. I guess worthwhile normals are just not in the cards for him.

Watch them nerf Sub Zero even though he has dropped on most everyone's tier lists.

What a crazy thing to not have listed as possible anywhere in the game. I know Shao's amplified annihilation has 246 frames of cancel advantage shown in the practice mode frame data, but I couldn't get it to cancel into anything.

Kung Lao for sure. As time goes on my opinion of him only improves.

Sub-Zero (Dead of Winter) 1. Offensive Options 4/5 He has decent normals, with his b3 string being easily staggered, b1 having a lot of range, and f4 having plus frames. Meanwhile, he has full comboable 50/50s, and a KB on his back throw. All in all, he has a lot of ways to open people...

I like what they did with Shang Tsung. I won't be playing him, but it's awesome to see him around. However, there are way too many guest characters, but that's what I expect after MKX I guess. Also, choosing SIndel and Nightwolf instead of more popular characters is kinda weird. I mean, I...

They already have armor vs projectiles though, as well as every other kind of attack. He's just talking about taking away the armor vs normals and keeping the armor vs projectiles. I don't really agree with him though. Personally, I would keep them how they are, but at minimum make them...

Sure:

That's fair. Looking at Mustard's tier list, he has Kano as bottom 7, in the same tier as Raiden, Shao, and Johnny. Personally, I think Kano is bottom 5, but I think all four of those characters are candidates for a small buff or two that would bump them up a tier anyways.

Everyone's entitled to their opinions, but I would take character performance in the first real major with a grain of salt. There are many high-level players who did worse than both of them, using top-tier characters. There's also the element of matchup familiarity, since I don't feel like...

Yeah this kills so much of the hype for me. There will be a hype set in top 8 and everyone watching will get riled up, and then they kill it off with 15 minutes of player interviews between every match, where you can tell that that the players don't want to be interviewed or shit talk each...

True. If they made his f2 -8 or something, he would instantly shoot up a tier, because then he'd be on par with the rest of the cast who pretty much all have safe and hit confirmable low/mid strings. F2 being 13 frames and only leading to 200-250 damage (sans snakebite) would also be more tame...
