Match Footage Best NRS Set of All Time: Tyrant vs CDJr (MK9)

[SaSSolino]

Let's not forget about this pearl.

I miss MK9.

 

[STORMS]

@denzell vs @Tom Brady Sub-Zero mirror also legendary

 

[LaidbackOne]

A broken game but holy shit was it great to watch.

 

[BlooEyedBeast]

I remember watching this, sooooo good!

Not that MKX is any less broken.

 

[LaidbackOne]

Not that MKX is any less broken.

Didn't mean to compare them by that, just stated a fact.

 

[kabelfritz]

definitely one of the best

also reo vs pl evo grand finals 2011 and dizzy vs 16bit grand finals at VxG 2013 come to mind. i like the last one because it was the highest level of mk i ever saw, 2 top players who played each other every day for 3 years.

oh and denzell vs the kabal gauntlet at evo 2013 of course

Mk9 was way more broke then mkx lol

 

[SaSSolino]

Mk9 was way more broke then mkx lol

now that's debatable

 

[Baconlord]

now that's debatable

Cough kabal cough

 

[Dankster Morgan]

Looking at the final versions of the game, MKX was way more balanced

 

[SaSSolino]

Cough kabal cough

I won't lie, that's a good point. But even though MKX never had a Kabal, it had a different almost as broken character any other week: from day1 Tanya to day1 Alien, and from Kang's block infinites to Jason's unexisting recovery.

 

[Mikemetroid]

now that's debatable

No its not lol.

A broke game with reliable anti airs pokes and footsies.

 

[Wigy]

The core mechanics of mk9 are better than injustice or mkx. Character balance, a few bugs were the issue.

 

[STRYKIE]

now that's debatable

It really isn't. Regardless of personal preference MKX is a far more polished game at surface level.

No its not lol.

A broke game with reliable anti airs pokes and footsies.

Most MK9 pokes don't have anymore hit advantage than MKX Quan Chi's D1, which kinda says a lot...

Regarding the other two points, WUGIZAAAAH

Kinda wondering what the Injustice 1 and MKX equivalent were.

Best MKX set was Forever King vs Wound Cowboy ft10

 

[Wigy]

Injustice:

Relaxed state vs revolver

^this, free

I feel like there's a lack of character hype in the newer NRS games. All the different chanting and callouts at tournaments during combos, like the "smoke smoke smoke!" loops, or all of mk9 quan's weird wolays/aweeabolays. Even Black Adam had the "Heee!" dive kick sound in I1 that people used to yell.

Maybe they are consciously moving away from the sillier sound effects, but I love it.

that nostalgia... loved those good mk9 days (offline) all friends gathering and playing, it was cool, I wish nrs would bring mk9 back for ps4 in 2 years but well, a man can dream

 

[Baconlord]

Baraka is secret mid tier @STRYKIE

 

[Tony at Home]

Oh man, all this nostalgia is taking me back.

Not NRS but still MK, and a heck of a lot more entertaining. Shock and LI Joe road to evo UMK3.

They dont, no, but they also aren't nearly as negative or risky as the pokes were in MK9.
