good question
I don't believe this game is going to be REMOTELY balanced, but so long as it's fun, I'll be happy. I get the feeling kameo setups are going to be insane, especially ones that can be delayed like Kano's. I can already imagine some S++ tier rushdown teams as well as zoning teams.
It sounds like they are limiting what you can do at certain times — so if they feel that something in combination with Kameos is too strong, then you just won’t be able to call a Kameo during it (Max gave the example of Sub-Zero’s slide)
There are a couple, with Sonic’s probably being the most extensive.
Oh yeah, I already watched it lol I hope there are more soon!
I really appreciate it and I think the rest of the community will too. If you come out saying "oh, we want this game to be super clean and balanced" and it isn't, people are gonna tear you up. I get the sense that MK11 was built around that fear. But I think there's some playfulness and humor in saying "this is a wild system, we have no idea what kind of crazy shit people will come up with, we're along for the ride too" that will resonate with people.
I mean MvC 2 and especially 3 have some great meta's and even MVCI has a healthy one.
That's the first thing you think of, but this is how the kameo system is in the game.
I agree and this is a good point. I think Kameo's will work in the way that SF6 works (and most SF's i think) where only certain, specific normals link into specials. Like certain strings/specials won't be cancelable into kameo's. There will be crazy stuff for sure but we won't get never ending safe (or plus) mix up pressure. Things will still be punishable even if your opponent's kameo meter is full.
I don't think they did. I've seen techs in gameplay and the notification has changed to "towards throw tech" or similar to that. It actually says what direction was teched which just doubles down on 50/50 throws in my opinion. Which I fucking hate. If you're gonna make them 50/50 at least make the grabbing animation different so you have a chance at guessing right. Thank fuck there's no 30% throw KBs this time

You should be able to. They've done it in every game NRS has made. You press Start when selecting a character and you get the P2 color. This was even a cool workaround in MK11 because you could use it to select character skins you haven't actually unlocked yet.
Glad I'm not the only one who would waste precious seconds of stress test time on that. I hope the beta has more characters as I really need to find out what they have going on with Scorpion. Hopefully he'll be one of the first Kombat Kasts and it will be soon. I'm hoping he's as good as the 4 we've seen so far. Well at least before he gets nerfed to trash before the end of the first month after release like usual. lol.
