DBF input in MK11

[_CHINOCUDEIRO_]

Are the typical DBF input moves in MK11? I´ve heard that they will dissapear.... is that true? Will it be helpful for grappler char players?
What do you think?

 

[xenogorgeous]

hope so ..... it's crap feature ..... waiting for more simple and direct inputs to come out

Geras's grapple move is not down-back-forward at the very least. The motion I don't find very offensive I guess, but if you can just simplify it into a qcb/qcf/back-forward why not.

 

[HeroesNZ]

Hallelujah, that input was aids

Erron about to come back without a DBF input - there's no saving you scrubs now

 

[Cobainevermind87]

I don't think they'll disappear. At least I've heard nothing about their removal, and see no reason why NRS would remove them. That being said, hopefully one grappler will have a db/df command grab like Kotal in MKX. I have trouble ticking into dbf lol.

Edit: Well apparently Geras is that character lol

It’s a trash input and always has been. I hope it stays gone and is replaced by qcb or something else.

With the addition of enhanced moves requiring another input instead of just R2 then it would make a lot of sense if they take out DBF inputs.

Imagine having to do like DBF then another quick D1 just to enhance a move that would be a bit ridiculous.

I think Ketchup and Mustard stated that none of the characters in the event reveal build had DBF motions. Now that doesn't necessarily mean that no other character will have that horrible motion either, but at the same time it could be the case.
Geras' Command Grab doesn't have that input motion and I remember Scarecrow and Sub-Zero having that motion for their Command Grabs. Was there any other character in MKX / Injustice 2, who had a Command Grab without a DBF motion?

Kotal Kahn has a command grab that uses qcb and Swamp Thing has a qcf, but I can’t recall any others.

Sun God Kotal in MKX, Commando if you count the Choke. Everyone else (including Commando) had DBFs. I2 had a lot of "hit" grabs with df/db inputs, but it also had dbfs.

Everyone has forgotten but that input was also used for Shang’s Soul Steal in MK9 (dbf 3), when he comes back, I hope it is something more convenient this time around)

 

[STB Sgt Reed]

Actually, I'm fairly certain that Shang's Soul Steal move was FDB 3 which was WAY easier than DBF.

 

[_CHINOCUDEIRO_]

If you do DBF input in combo it´s easier because you can buff it in the middle of the inputs, but if you block and then you want to use it as a punisher it´s so hard.

Not really. Shang Tsung's Soul Steal in MK9 was fdb3, way easier.

You’re right actually. That input was fine, I’d take HCB over DBF any day.

 

[Blade4693]

Even half circle back would be better for command grabs than that crap. Birdie has these in SFV and you can do them on pad just fine. No reason for DBF.

 

[Law Hero]

I've never understood why DBF inputs are so hard in MK games. I can do Giant Swings and Muscle Busters just fine in Tekken, but I have a difficult time consistently doing DBFs in MK.

 

[wsj515]

I'd rather have more dbf inputs than a non-universal enhance input for each special.

 

[NothingPersonal]

Graplez to stronk. Needz sstoopid input.

Spoiler

I hope the dbf and dfb inputs die of cancer

Oh yeah. You Guys are correct, I just remembered it wrong because I used to fail to execute fdb3 consistently even though it is much easier)))

Alex and Laura have them too, it's really a better way to do it.

So like, nobody here has ever turned on alternate controls?

Nah. When I only play NRS games, there's no point. I'm used to df, db, ff, bb, etc

Because with a DBF, you have 3 spots that can get messed up vs. literally any other game where it's just the one motion. Pad's aren't going to help that any more, with the B in your DBF possibly getting read as UB.

yea its a very very annoying input. I stopped practicing MKX for awhile and when I went back to it late last year I barely could do the input anymore lol.
