    Baraka Kombos

    Timing for cyrax back throw combos is when baraka does the stab after the bite. Nice 20%+ off of throws.

    How To Fix MK11: Breakaway

    I think the mechanic while brain dead defensively add's depth offensively. At least from a conceptual stand point. You have carry combos, max damage corner combos and with breakaway you have juggle and non juggle combos. Of course if you remove the mechanic you're going to level the playing...

    Best NRS game of the Decade?

    These threads are great. With no direction on how anyone defines best. Pure pointless debate. Enjoy folks! KI, MKXL, MK11 have ruined my appreciation for older games by actually having reasonable netplay.

    Tom's Incident Has Made it to Esports Mainstream News

    Just his demeanor. While often selfish it seems evident that he wants to be liked. His friends and many who have met him speak kindly of him. he's had a chip on his shoulder for years and not that he hasn't earned it but the community has often been extremely toxic to him so it's not without...

    Tom's Incident Has Made it to Esports Mainstream News

    No. They're providing entertainment. They're getting sponsors paid from the ads that are run. Many streamers spend countless hours building their stream, searching for sponsors, editing content, engaging with viewers. Is it a conventional blue collar job? No. But to say they're doing...

    Tom's Incident Has Made it to Esports Mainstream News

    Feel bad for the Tom and also the people he wronged. He seems like a good person but he needs to change his priorities and look at what really makes him happy and those of you who want to help need to stop feeding him false hope. His early success seems to have been a detriment as he's grasped...

    So is the GRIND worth the Rewards in MK 11?(Kombat League, ToT and Krypt)

    They have a staggering amount of cosmetics in this game. Something I'm not sure this community is that grateful for. I know in KI that the amount of cosmetics was fairly low and there was a large portion of the player base who where chomping at the bit for new cosmetics. The reason I bring...

    Sajam talks about people defending companies

    Is it rollback or delayed based? If it's not rollback it'll never be good despite whatever improvements they try to make.

    Why are NRS games looked down upon by high level FGC players?

    I'm really surprised, I suspected this thread would be full of personal complaints as to why people don't like MK based on their own anecdotal experiences. A fair amount of people seem to get the big picture. People are tribal by nature. SF4 Fans are loyal to capcom and the street fighters...

    Why did NRS think ranking down your progress for 48 hours of inactivity was a good Idea?

    Depends. Did they consistently play prior to the last time they played? If so, absolutely. I bet most of the top tier players would openly admit that taking a week off has an effect on their level of play. I invest most of my time playing dota 2 so I can speak to that genre better and when I...

    Why did NRS think ranking down your progress for 48 hours of inactivity was a good Idea?

    I think for a competitive ladder decay is necessary. It sounds like it's just too rapid currently. Instead of 2 days perhaps a week or two would be better. Especially this early in a games life, if you stop playing and others don't you're going to be worse than them thus it stands to reason...

    I have never rage quit or quit any game. Why would you?

    I don't really consider it rage quitting when someone quits during a finisher. That just makes sense, coming from KI where you could style with double/triple ultras it just makes sense to quit out. There's no two way interaction there you're just watching a cut scene, it'd be no different than...

    I have never rage quit or quit any game. Why would you?

    I quit matches when the connection is something I deem unplayable. Playing through the match would be frustrating and it would feel like a waste of time. Do you guys see this as rage quitting? It's probably not too different than the excuse of someone who quits because they are getting bodied.

    POLL: What Buffalo did... Was it wrong?

    You joined in 2015?! What a casual noob! Associate with the other babies please, your opinion is worthless here. I refuse to associate with anyone who hasn't been a part of tym since 2012 or earlier. FT10? Can you even count that high?! /s There ya go, dumbed it down for the audience at hand.

    POLL: What Buffalo did... Was it wrong?

    I suspect Jebaily would rather not have had his tournament venue promoted in such a way. But that's just speculation on my part.

    POLL: What Buffalo did... Was it wrong?

    When I've gone to Evo the smell of some of the kids there is repulsive. Hygiene is a real issue this has been mentioned in numerous articles. When I go to compete I'm there to use my own controller plug it in play my game have a good time and get bodied by people who are far better than me...

    POLL: What Buffalo did... Was it wrong?

    Popping off is fine. You want to jump, dance around the stage, yell, do the worm. Go right ahead. Stay out of peoples personal space, period. There's being hype and excited and there's being a jackass. If you're okay with these shenanigans you're probably okay with Skar punching him for...

    After CEO, I've realized throws are really killing my hype in this game.

    Throws are a huge part of the mind games. I think they are fairly well balanced so far as the risk vs. reward goes. You make a read and duck one you get a huge punish. They're slow enough that you can reaction tech them and knowing the krushing blow data gives the defender information as to...

    Tournament Play: Disabling Interactables

    I say keep them. Without them I won't be able to share the tournament stream to my pals with "Hey dude, check out the NRS stream @ForeverKing Batman is dumpstering people!"
