Felt like sharing my two cents here since I've been detached from NRS games for awhile and feel like taking a step back has allowed me to gain new perspective. I think giving any kind of a shit about EVO views is weird, especially as a metric of any kind of interest in the games. Like, so what...

I'm pretty much checked out of NRS games and am taking an extended hiatus from FGs but I figured I'd pop in and offer my take on this topic. First of all, combo variety is a kind of depth but it certainly doesn't offer the depth that matters. I felt like chiming in here since M2Dave is one of...

Crazy how many NRS only players love using confirmation bias to just shit on other peoples games lol

People keep trying to argue with me, mainly a lot of the new faces, but I do not believe this game will be remembered fondly at all. Especially if the next game back pedals on a lot of this games design philosophies.

I personally think this is NRS's worst post-MK9 game by far. Both from a competitive viability standpoint and from a design/customer satisfaction/gameplay standpoint. I honestly believe, GIVEN THE CONTEXT of the time and placed it released in, it might be the worst mainstream fighting game...

I've been off the game for awhile now and I've kinda dipped on the community but I still linger, maybe cause I'm hoping somehow to get my passion back for this again. I still like to listen to podcasts and discussions about the game, and in doing so I just can't help but be frustrated lol. The...

It is absolutely hilarious how not well this thread aged.

Why is nobody talking about that Cetrion is a run away character that ALSO has godlike rushdown? If she was absolute garbage up close it'd be fine but she mixes you to death up close.

Nothing

How am I not supposed to make that assumption when your statement was, if it can't be staggered for pressure or mix what use is it? It's a balancing measure to relegate it to ONLY being a whiff punisher. This is a balancing measure that also makes the game more interesting and have more...

Just admit you guys wanna play a slot machine with cool animations and go man lol

This is a typical dumbass NRS player perspective. Can you guys really not imagine a fighting game that isn't all mix ups and offense? THE POINT OF THE STRING IS TO BE A WHIFF PUNISHER AND IT'S ONE OF THE BEST WHIFF PUNISHING STRINGS IN THE GAME. PLEASE LEARN OTHER SKILLSETS OR OTHER STYLES OF...

I hate having to defend MK11 but the Kitana point has been repeatedly debunked and called out for being stupid. It's not meant to be used as a meaty, or a neutral check. It's clearly a whiff punish string. Please stop using this string for anything else other than that lol

No she doesn't. She had plenty of even or losing mu's. Every character except Batman did.

They basically removed specializations, skill sets and the need to have refined decision making ability

All I will respond with to your last point, and it gets very fucking old that people think I'm talking out of my ass when I'm not. I really am on good terms with, or friends with, a lot of respected or top players in this community. I talk to these guys on a regular enough basis about the game...

To try to make this as succinct as possible MK11 top tiers have a lot of similar traits, one or both direction oki throws, insane movement or insanely degenerate no risk movement options (cet teleport), base combo starters, U2's that launch jabs or pokes, and kits that overall literally give...

Balance to me is, how the power level is distributed among the cast (and I also think how matters too). MK11 has worse power distribution BY FAR compared to MKX. This really does make current MKX more balanced than MK11. Now you can argue that you don't like WHY MKX achieves it's balance...

Agreed.

These people are legit sub humans dawg. They don't actually remember these things correctly. I still have a copy of the ORIGINAL MKX, I might get a video with the unpatched version and show the bitching about armor was completely wrong. I mean, I DIDN'T LIKE IT, but a lot of the complaints...
