    Are we dismissing the added move slots too prematurely?

    Just to clarify before I explain the thread. This is not a "Should Extra moves be legal?" So I am not asking should we allow them or doing a poll to decide.

    3 common points of reason that needs to die!

    I know this going to offend a lot of people but I honestly don't give a Donkey's hoop on how you feel. The reason I think it will offend because I'm constantly seen these "3 points of reason" be mentioned a lot. To keep this thread focused on the topic I ain't going to name any MKX characters...

    Hi guys Okay so you probably seen how Ronins B11 really locks down somebody as good as Cage to one of his only option is just a frame F3 trade, so I thought to see what it would look like on somebody with no range like Jacqui and here it is. Things to note first: I purposely turned off Meter...

    Question A place for Technical Questions

    How I plan on this thread to work? If you do have questions try and keep them as technical and concise as possible, meaning don't ask about "why is this a bad MU?" or extremely time consuming questions such as "can somebody list how many frames it takes a character to run half of the screen...

    Question Does this ever tick you off?

    Sorry for the click bait thread title, couldn't think of an appropriate name lol Okay in hindsight there is nothing wrong with this, the opponent can pick who he/she wants.
