Blue Hit Circles in Mk 11

[Strandlock]

So the game looks terrific all around and I’m so happy about the direction they’re taking the Kombat forward.

Yet , I want to hear your opinion about the blue hit/block circles? I feel they’re quite unecessary.

And I do not if it was an audio problem on their end but it’s like the kicks and the punches did not have that meaty , breaking-the-bone and your jaw sound

Am I missing something?
I really want this game to have palpable gut-wrenching moments through and through.

Or did they tone down the other hits/strings in favor of enhancing the feel of Krushing blows.

It's a common technique to show exactly where the impact is while improving/covering up animations. I think it looks nice. Injustice 2 went very minimalistic with these(there was just some minor white sparks like a comicbook hit "impact lines") and I think it suffered because of it.

Yes, I do understand what they stand for , yet a game like Mortal Kombat , I feel has no use for it when they can just use blood spurting and bone crunching sounds.

MKX did not have those circles and I always knew when I hit the opponent.
