The barriers of female body exposure seem to steadily be breaking down with each passing new skin pack that's released.

Jade and Cetrion's horror costumes are showing off a fair amount of their saucy areas.

Whilst Sindel's practically falling out of one of her human skins.

However it's the fact that they've gone to such realistic lengths to give Cassie VPL in her new shorts and Sonya's nipple bulges are visible on her Sarah Connor skin...

... I'm quite confident that two years down the line we'll be getting some very revealing outfits by that point - not MK9 level, but certainly things a lot more risqué than this game was on launch (not that I'm craving it, just an observation).

Yeah, I'm impressed by the level of detail. It seems that all the 'realistic fighting gear' argument just died cause it didn't make any sense and they're giving them costumes that make them look both badass and sexy. Like Cassie's default outfit has a shoulder pad that's a lego, like damn wtf. Stop with the damn shoulder pads.

Man I'm having fun using her new skin. The funny thing is I have her Pacific Blue skin now finally! Lmao. I have almost all of my favorite military skins of her plus the DLC skins to the point, I'm having a hard time deciding on which skin to use! LOL.

There is something I don't understand. Why does BLB burst amplified has a hit advantage of 19f while similar moves like Johnny "Say Cheese" or Frost "Microburst" or Kollector Bola all have hit advantages of about 100f when amplified?
All of them can get a full jump in combo after the amplify but with Cassie you have to be frame perfect to dash in and extend the combo.

BLB burst MB into B1 is literally a 1f link.
I choose Cassie as a secondary main and this is one of the thing holding me back from choosing Yaas Queen.
Making it ~ 25f advantage to make B1 link much easier would be an interesting buff that won't affect Digital Soldier, while only slightly increase viability of Yaas Queen.
Making it ~ 100f advantage, guarantee a jump in punch would be a bigger buff since it will increase midscreen damage output of Yaas Queen. I think she deserves it.

Holy hell... THAT's Cass, she looks utterly amazing. I'd pay good money for that. She just needs to be simple and chic; badass in her army gear and cute in her active wear. What the hell is with the awful ugly space suits and metal blind goggles that dominate the game?

Why is that not in the base game, it's baffling.

Always find a woman who has her own hair cut and unique style to be a thousand times more empowering and attractive than a girl who just has "omg cute long hair". Getting rid of Cassie's bun and undercut for me was such a regression for MK11. They boasted this game as being more progressive yet just making her a long blonde haired barbie doll with crap costumes killed her character. The Cass of MKX with her undercut, bun, tactical gear, active wear and total "don't give a f.... attitude" was a million times more powerful, more progressive, more unique and hey can I just be red-blooded and say attractive than the vapid version of her in MK11. When I couldn't tell in my first story play through as to which was her and which was young Sonya, why would you do that to your audience and characters? Turning her into Sonya 2 was just lazy and destroyed everything enjoyable about her character. Still love her millennial "hashtag you're dead" attitude but she's so lifeless otherwise as a character that it actually feels at odds with her redesign.

Want our Sassy Cassie back who was shaving her head and being far more "don't give a shit, bitch".

I love MK11 from a gameplay perspective but she really feels like a casualty from it coming from the last game. They're promoting being more gender equality with this, more political correctness and I'm fine with that, don't need "Mortal Kombat Conquest: The Game... brought to you in association with Playboy", but Cassie just feels like she's been turned into a silly glamour girl with shit costumes when in MKX she actually felt more hard-edged, less of a dolly girl and far more independent.

The input is Down, Up+Forward or Down, Up+Back, similar to Cyborg's grapple. Think of Raiden's teleport being Down, Up but just do an upwards diagonal direction. You also need defensive meter

I've decided to try and learn Cassie. I think I'm going to go with Energy burst, just because I like having the unbreakable damage, and the corner restands look nice. Any ideas on what move to pair with it? I've seen some mention of pairing it with the flying kick. I was initially drawn to the Energy Bounce, just because I like the possibility of block pressure or even potential corner combo. I don't know enough about the abilities though to know how they actually function in a real match.

Any thoughts or tips?

In words of Videogamezyo - "Why bother with Cassie when you can play Liu Kang, he can do the same things just better". ;)

Thou that is not what you asked but honestly i can't even remember when i saw Cassie in any tournament or anybody playing her recently.

I kinda get it, at least from a pro competitor pov, but it makes me a little sad when character communities have this attitude. Cassie seems like a perfectly fine character, solid zoning, solid unbreakable damage, corner restands. And with customs she has some unique ways to personalize her.

I wasn't sure I liked any of the New Kids at first but Cassie Cage definitely grew on me. Probably one of my favorite MK characters now.

I just play her as a standard projectile spamming zoner because i'm scrubby like that

Jacqui too but could we come up with any reason to not play a top tier in a video game?

To have fun? :) Granted this only works if you play with friends who also want to have fun and not just win but it's possible.

This is true, she's solid but sadly 95% of people playing this game wants to win by any means so... in KL its like 10 Joker players + 10 Cetrion players followed by 8 Jacqui players before you can see 1 Cassie player who only plays her coz he's bored to death with repeating the same 2 strings over and over again playing Cetrion, Joker or Jacqui (you can add Kabal to this too).

That's just top tier or else mentality champ, Robocop and Shao Khan show up in top 8s. Are they not having fun?

Elder gods forbid someone talk about learning a character, especially one that you see placed in A tier on people's tier lists and not the vaunted S tier
