Back Forward Input problem

[tatterbug4]

I play with the xbox 1 controller and haven't had a single problem with any character inputs yet...

Thank god im not the only one having problems. Im having trouble MB some strings with Quan. His warlock 1,2,1+2 string throws opponent into a portal if you MB. But i get mixed results all the time. Never had this problem in Injustice meter burning.

I don't really have any issues with just specials, but I am having trouble cancelling into a MB. I think I just have to be better at hitting both buttons as the same time.

Because this problem seems exclusive to the PS4 pad. Execution is not "tighter". This problem also exists in Injustice. I know because Zod has many b, f commands.

I'm more annoyed with the EX specials.
They worked much better in Injustice, they should have kept it that way.

They can't, because in MK X implemented both techs - Ex specials AND Meter burn. For example - Scorpion's Spears, you can spend 1 Meter for Ex Special (double spears) and spend another bar of Meter to Meter burn it - sending fire through the spear chain.

I guess intention was to give more flexibility.

It is second day out and MK X is... is just different, everybody (except pros like Sonic fox, PL, Tyrant... ) need to adjust to a new gamestyle.

P.S. god, I can't get this run mechanics straight! Muscle memory be damned !

I'm using a HitBox and most special are easy to execute. However, strings into specials are weird. Also, for some reason reptiles dd3 only works for me like 40% of the time. The ex version happens like never for me. You think it be super easy on a hitbox but shit just doesn't work for me.

I already love this game but the randomness od the imputs makes me so fucking mad I cant even express it.

It's also worth nothing that you can't input strings off a jump-in punch lightning fast like you could in MK9. It actually requires the inputs be executed at a slightly slower pace, otherwise it'll completely skip your first input after the JIP and your second input will come out.

It'll be interesting to see how that affects hit-confirms.

You guys can turn on "alternate controls" to do half circle motions instead of a strict back forward/forward back input. It'll be more comfortable for the players on pads who typically did circle motions on the d-pad when doing those kinds of specials.

So I've realized that there's a thread specifically dedicated to my finding (this one), so I decided to repost myself here. Please, tell me if you notice something similar. Even if you're stick/pad player, can you please compare left-to-right and right-to-left bf inputs and how they work for you?

So I've noticed something, but I don't know if it's just me, my KB or something else. When my character is facing right (P1 position), I can input bf moves pretty much freely. This is because you don't have to even release b before hitting the rest of the buttons and you can do this even if you're very hasty with them. However, when facing left I must release b well before pressing anything else otherwise, for example, b2 will come out instead of bf2. Very annoying, and I'm not sure why is that.

Sometimes I feel that I need to even wait after releasing b before I press f... It's pretty bad.

Can anybody with KB/hibox test? Or at least compare your success inputting bf left-to-right and right-to-left?
