"Last Breath" New Mechanic to stop chip kills?

[DragonofDadashov24]

Or you just adapt

Adapt to bullshit?
Rewatch K&M MKX day 1 gameplay. Did the devs say “adapt” to that?

Everything you listed as broken is not as such. Very good? Yes, they are intended to be as such. That last part about the zoning is personal preference and indicates this game is likely not gonna be for you.

KBs are one-time use. Breakaway is actually a semi-counter to KB launchers, and is balanced by not only taking both of your DEF bars, but also reducing regen speed considerably and leaving you without wakeup options, interactables, and character-specific cancels. Perfect Block requires you to actually learn the attacks of the game before you can even utilize it, and is limited by what you are blocking and whether you even have one stock of both OFF and DEF meter.

To be fair, that's basically all we've been doing ever since the MK9 days. lol

 

[NothingPersonal]

Pretty dope mechanic. Jason lives in all of us

Psh, before that.

Well there's a few questions with this I'd like to know, hopefully NRS covers it in their next stream first but if not I can wait til someone breaks it down regarding every character. I can see one way to deal with this if you're trying to get that last chip damage and cacn't, win via running down the clock? I know it's rare but we've seen it happen in tight, lengthy matches from time to time. But yeah I want NRS to dive into this a bit more, seems like something too vital to ignore.

Well at least something. Im not a fan of chip kills in general.

Its so anti climatic.

How is it dumbed down? If anything, seems like it does the exact opposite. It forces the player who's in the lead to think about how they want to get the last 1%, as opposed to going for "dumbed down" zoning spam.

yeah cause MK9 was so complex... roflmao... and I guess it was also totally NOT an unbalanced, broken, infinite combo mess either.

what's dumb is the game becoming Yolo Kombat when within chip death

 

[Vslayer]

Damn, I totally missed tat. Looks really interesting, it's going to make people feel even more pressured.

 

[GLoRToR]

I like this.

I can't think of an NRS game without infinites at launch, so I don't think that's a good argument, even if it were true for its current state.

YOU'RE TEARING US APART NRS !!!

 

[Wetdoba]

Awesome new mechanic that will have layers of mind games to it. Really cool

I was talking about tracking moves causing death on chip, learn to read in context please.

ive said that before lol thats the kind of answer i get here in TYM lol just wanted to know how it feels to praise myself . you are 100% right bro

 

[Deleted member 5032]

I think it’s a step in the right direction. Chip kills are so lame. And to anyone complaining that it dumbs down the game, how is having to actually open up your opponent dumber than going for a tracking or armored chip kill?

 

[John Grizzly]

Excellent new mechanic. It was also so dumb that if you were on a pixel and knocked down, you were done with no hope of making a comeback. This will make for some really cool moments.

Sometimes, that works tho.

 

[xenogorgeous]

cool and fair new defense mechanic, I like it !

Nodding sagely: "chip kills put the Mortal in Mortal Kombat and are right and good."

Plays against a Flame Fist Liu once: "NRS PLZ NERF CHIP"

They have to draw a distinct line between non-gamer fighting game builds and the gamer fighting game builds of these games

We truly do live in a society.

There's nothing else you could use it for because if its not being used to save your life you'd be dead. One thing I would like to know is if you flawless block instead to save yourself from the chip damage then do you get to keep the bar or does this override it?

But it's got you asking questions right? It needs testing
