    Positive Things About MKX Thread

    - Graphics in MKX were beautiful, really liked the colors in a lot of the stages (Jinsei Chamber), and characters. - Some character designs were awesome (Dvorah, Tremor, some of the alt skins were ridiculously nice as well). - Sound effects were great on attacks (The music was ass, however).

    Discussion NRS Patching - Genuine Balance or Mere Tier Shifting?

    My issue with the patches is that everything seems so... overdone? I guess that would be a good word for it. I understand that due to certain constraints they can only release x amount of patches, and I believe that this causes them to try to push as much changes into a patch as possible, when...

    FFVII REMAKE ANNOUNCED

    @Mr. Mileena With Lloyd playable upon beating the game, bypassing character deaths / unavailability such as continuing to use Lavitz and Shana in a completed game rather than Albert and Miranda just for coolness, and other cool little features. Music is still gold i wouldn't even touch it tbh...

    Breakthrough - Impostor Instant Air Teleports. Easy and Accurate. (PS4 Pad)

    Situation would have to be right i'd imagine, but it is doable. In MK9 (mostly on Skarlet) i switched from regular grip to claw grip and back to regular grip when doing certain strings and ex dagger cancels so i'd imagine this is no different. EDIT: Good find, was always so caught up on...

    Missed the earlier post unfortunately :( I completely agree in that case, it's not truly reactable in that sense.

    This test is IMO not a good way to test @RM_NINfan101 's ability (or lack of) to fuzzy guard. 6f to 18f, both with very clearly different animations is much different than the ones being used in this test. For one, the test uses 4 different attacks, varying the difference in reactions greatly...

    Honestly haven't played the game in awhile, just checking around and asking because everyone seems to be using Imposter. While mimicry is a BIG deal (damage buff, easy way to set up overhead and make it more of a "true" mix-up), along with the teleport utility, how the hell are you guys playing...

    Tech - Kuatan Warrior MKX GORO TECH & COMBO VIDEO. 1 BAR 48% + MORE!

    this is 100% guaranteed just like Shinnok's Ex unblockable ground hit, i'm sure Jax can do the same. The ex versions OTG and pick people up for the hit when they are otherwise "invulnerable". The moves Tony mentioned have enough hit advantage that the OTG ground pound makes contact before the...

    RM Honey Bee (D'Vorah/Venomous/Swarm Queen) Wins Mortal Kombat X @ Toryuken 4 2015!

    This ^ If you're playing a character you are going to be much more well-educated in regards to their strengths and weaknesses. People who do not main/play the character are going to be less knowledgeable, and even more so if they do not actively play against the character. Spreading info like...

    Wish they would have tweaked his frame data and damage rather than give him frame traps and an unnecessary overhead. F2/F22 cancel advantage being increased to allow for flick blockstrings would have been a nice tweak for necro. Allows him to space and play his "keep away" game much more...

    Also, just wanted to clarify and post a video about which string do and do not safely cancel into flick. F22, F2, B3 all are backdashable or armorable. F223 can actually be full combo punished with faster normals 3, 31 and 312 all get a guaranteed flick on block, 312 is also his highest...

    Useful semi-"kara" trick to extend range significantly while only adding a couple frames onto your attack. It's essentially a split-second run cancel without consuming stamina. As you may have noticed, Shinnok's first step of his walk is VERY fast. In fact, it is quicker to take that first...

    Tech - Boneshaper Shinnok Guaranteed Unblockable (2bar, boneshaper)

    100% guaranteed unblockable hit that deals 12% (the first ex shoulder does 13% adding up to 25% off an armored reversal). This is very useful for closing out a match if you have meter to spare. This is ONLY applicable to the bone-shaper variation, and it must be Ex'd unfortunately because of its...

    Just hit the lab again, B31 is definitely a very good normal that I had overlooked. Definitely makes this worth looking into knowint that. Previously i had only really looked at the spafe or F22 but this is a much better replacement for the loss of his original F22 in necro for sure.
