There's been a lot of talk about Kustoms recently. Mainly whether or not they should be allowed in tournaments/ranked and whether or not they would breathe new life into the game or not etc. I think it's got the community pretty split down the middle.
When tournament variations were announced i was a little bit disappointed but, being an online player, figured it wasn't the end of the world since I don't go to tournaments or anything. I figured there'd still be "kustom move threads" on here for each character and people would still play around with the custom moves and post what they found, but noone's really doing that (although, Brady's Ice Puddle videos have been pretty cool). That's a shame, i think. That said though, when the game launched i tried to stick to using the tournament variations, just to stay on the same page as everyone else really.
After a while though, I realised I didn't really have to. I think (especially now a year in, when the game's gotten a bit stale) there's more fun to be had playing around with different moves n shit. I don't play KL anymore because most of the rewards are shit (the last thing I need is more wrongly coloured ninja skins plaguing my game. Absolute pet HATE...anyway, i digress).
I find some characters already have the moves I'd like already there in one variation, some have the right moves, but spread out across several variations and some don't even have them in any variations. So for me, I like Beserker Baraka how he is, for Kabal I want Hook Grab, Low Hook Grab and Gas (which he has normally, but spread throughout all his variations, and for Shang I want launching corpses, damage buff spell thing and the swap spell (which aren't in any variations). I would consider these versions of these 3 characters my mains and tend to stick to these. They haven't always been, but I've had a lot of fun over the last year playing around with different loadouts and seeing what I like and what I don't.
But yeah, I'm curious about the rest of you anyway. How do you approach the kustoms? If you do use them, what loadouts do you use?
Tell us about them!
