I will leave my seal on you!
Your problem dude, MK11 already looks amazing and nothing needs be changed from those things. That's how MK works in general and in this game, period.
Moving on.

But, what if you actually wanted to grab the interactable within a combo, instead of amplifying a move?
I thought about this too, but if amplified moves are still dependent on pressing them DURING a certain period of a regular special, it shouldn't be an issue. In that case, the intractable wouldn't come out because you'd be mid-animation or in recovery from the special anyway. If you had to press the button first and then input a move I could see how it would be a huge problem, but as it is I think/hope it will be fine.
You don’t need high execution to have a large skill gap in any fighting game.
Good point dude, this will very likely be the case.
Thanks for sharing your opinion dude!
Isn't the whole point of throw to act like a 50/50 (or mixup) to keep the opponent from simply holding block all day?
Your only competitive fighting game in your life was Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 so I understand your simple-minded rationale entirely.
Yes. MK has a block button, so pressing either forward or backwards will prevent the defender from just keep blocking all the time. IJ is a back-to-block format game, so obviously it needed to use another input instead of directional inputs, and because they decided to use only one button for it, there is no 50/50 aspect of it in IJ. But it is the case for MK. Also, MK is always an offensive game, so even though MK11 is not as offensive as MKX, it's still gonna be offensive to some extend, which is why it doesn't have that many 50/50 mixups like in MKX but still has the 50/50 aspect for throws.
Just my opinion but I think you should be able to block all day in a game with normal chip damage and chip kills especially if it builds opponents meter. You should not have to guess on a 50\50 if you happen to break the throw to begin with.
It has nothing to do with casuals or skill-less or scrubs. It was a pointless design decision that served no purpose. It doesn't add depth, it doesn't add strategy, it doesn't add anything useful to game. It was just a nuisance to have. I understand if certain moves for example could have 2 different outcomes when you amplify them, but those don't exist in the game. I wish they did.
That's cool. I just kind of like having that block/attack/throw triangle mixup in fighting games.
I don't argue that one bit, I just think you should be able to consistently tech throws in all fighting games without a 50\5o attached to the end of a already teched throw. Hell it even hurts you when you tech throw.
I agree with this. I wish they’d remove the directional requirement, as teching a throw is already hard enough without that.
They do seem really quick in mkx 10f ish i am guessing and the tech window is maybe 4-5 frames? They just look like standing 1's to me most the time but I am just a filthy casual but I would love to hear top players input on the subject.
I’ve played nearly every fighting game that has come out except for the new Tekken’s and anime’s (except for DBFZ).
But then what other input are you gonna add instead? MK has a block button, which is the same button for teching throws in IJ. So you're gonna block in an MK game, and then tap the block button a second time while you are being thrown? That actually sounds HARDER as you basically have to tap the block button at the perfect timing, while with directional buttons it should be easier to pull off since it's not the same input. You can't have the same button doing 2 commands that can be mixed with each other. Not to mention that once again, MK is a lot more offensive then IJ, so it must have some offensive aspects to it. So it only make sense that the 50/50 aspects of throws will be still be there.
What is wrong with teching the throw with 1+3 like every other 2d fighting game that I can think of? I mean you already have to react to it to begin with so it is not easy mode.
