General/Other - Jax MKX & Jax: Review So Far (No Spoilers)

[NurzBenny]

So just got word from.showtime Jax is not able to cancel ground pound in non of his variations

KILL ME NOW, fuck

 

[Shaazzyam]

So What are you gonna do without broken Bats?

hey, u guise, get a load of laos bae over here. it's 2015 aka no-push-block-glitch but he still thinks Batman's trait is good even though i cant get guaranteed combos after pushblock anymore.

that's funny laos bae. my standing 1 isnt even a mid either, how garbage

 

[Euphoric]

Does Jax still the most creative and swaggy character like MK9? Hype, fast and stylish?

 

[mrkareemruiz]

KILL ME NOW, fuck

Jax will still be good without that, if he still hits hard.

Harleys broke.

I like how threads about one character(jax, sub) turns out to be overall information threads about the game

 

[MadPropz101]

Have any of the people that got the game early reported on the quality of online matches? Is there noticeable lag like MK 9 and IGAU?

It's going to be pointless to eve bother asking that question now because the servers won't be having to deal with enough players yet.

Well good pro players like Jax, it makes sense.

1. MK style throw breaks
2. F, F+Block

Awesome, thank you. Run requiring a directional input should stop most/all accidental runs unless the person forgot to let go of forward and makes blocking on the first frame the dash ends possible.

Are enhanced movies tied to the block button like in MK9 or did the dedicated MB button from Injustice make a comeback? Assuming it's on block then I assume the commands would be:

Front punch (1)
Back punch (2)
Front kick (3)
Back kick (4)
Block/Meter

And then the two-button options being:

Interact: 1+2
Throw: 1+3
X-Ray: ???
Stance: who cares lol

Just planning out potential stick layouts

 

[MadPropz101]

Is there a logical explanation to why there is no dedicated Run Button?

 

[NurzBenny]

Jax will still be good without that, if he still hits hard.

Was a great pace/tempo setter, was like "making reads on players" for dummies. I will miss that awesome mechanic. On to the next though. Maybe I'll just become a marksman in the AK bazooka shotgun variation now or something

I think Jax can do that with his fireball now.

That I'm not sure of

More Random Tidbits:
Liu Kang is +18 after a connected BK allowing for free mixup and can be vortexed, can meter burn flying kick on block into BK, and meter burn it again to make it an overhead

Kung Lao EX Spin: Has Armor now
21 string: First hit is high, second hit mid, causes knockdown on hit.

about liu kang: This character seems to have every tool imaginable (except teleports), what is your impression of him? does frame data limit him?

 

[ShaolinGunFu]

"B Dashes: Has invincibility frames and cost 50% stamina each dash."

HELL YES, damn although the roster pissed me off this game has some awesome additions

 

[NurzBenny]

I think Jax can do that with his fireball now.

The threat of unblockable into full combo begets a much harder read than a projectile you can probably just duck, but it's better than nothing

He can't cancel his fireball either

 

[NurzBenny]

He can't cancel his fireball either

Oh right only delay . . . and the hits just keep on coming

I am not complaining about anything. You can have the best up close mix ups in fighting game history. I could not careless as long as I have zoning options, but most rush down players and anti-zoning zealots, including you, do not want such options to exist in the game. They want to be able to close the gap for free.

Not for free, but having to take 20% in chip damage just to have a chance to land a hit is beyond stupid.

Also I am not against zoning... I am against armor command grabs lol

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

20% in chip to land a 30-40% combo into more mix-ups is one hell of a trade off though.

You will love Kano Dave, very good tools with zoning, and commando unblockable grabs, don't get it twisted zoning is still very much alive, Kano commando is particularly scary cause his dash is fast and once u do get past his knife throws u have to worry about getting grabbed, Kano no joke this time around.

 

[prospic]

Too many spoilers -_-

 

[FCP/EMP SCAR]

For those that wondered, the patch that is scheduled to release day 1, we playing on, so everything I mentioned is not subject to change on day 1.

 

[Skate Bravo]

so far from my experience of private personal gameplay. Mileena, jax, lui kang, and kenshi are gonna be problems. Jax juggles mid screen to corner looks great and mileena has a 7 hit 34%.
