That was me. I don't think anyone who truly loves Cyrax as a character will enjoy his incredibly hype 2 or 3 hit strings into a buzzsaw as his new "hype" BnB's.
I always go back to the example of Liu Kang in MKX becoming what he is in MK11, quite possibly the most boring character to watch in the entire game full of boring characters.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHO I FEEL BEST EPITOMIZES IT.
Bro. Watching Ninjakilla, the fucking PHENOM he is, go from MKX and the most insane and multifaceted Liu Kang play, and all the combos and spacing and insanity and 5X Air Fire corner kills, to literally winning majors off of just 123 and double Amp Bicycle Kick...like, I get that this game is supposed to emulate the simpler MKII experience, but at least MKII has the fallback that it was made in the damn 90's. I can't count how many fights I've watched that are 75% pokes, throws, and damage off of KB's. Oh, and D2's. All of the D2's.
I played hours and hours of Mileena in the old days because she's Daughter Box's favorite, and there's nothing this game could do for her that would make her better than her MKX or MK9 iterations. And that's not me wanting this game to be like the old games; that's me saying this game is spraying Windex on glass and watching the damn bubbles pop compared to the old games.
