Yeah. I think that ideally it'd be awesome to give love to every single move, with completely new stuff.. But when your tournaround time is only 2 years per AAA game, that's extremely tight. Just about every studio that releases that fast is taking something from the previous game.
it’s a five point palm exploding heart thing like in Kill Bill. Five punches then after some steps your heart explodes
You can do a regular wakeup (like press nothing I mean to get up), delay wakeup, a regular wakeup special, an EX wakeup special, and/or a Kameo wakeup attack. Not saying these are great options (most of them aren’t that great), but it’s more than 2 WU options. Delay WU definitely messes a lot of setplay oki up. As far as Scorpion’s db2 on WU, you can WU flawless block to avoid the chip. In general there’s a lot of pressure that people aren’t flawless blocking. For instance Raiden’s Storm Cell (I believe that’s what it’s called). You can block the first hit and while still blocking, you actually can flawless block rather safely as long as you get the timing down. It take some practice to get the correct timing down for sure though.
I wish they just came back to the MK9 way of some specials just having invincibility on wakeup. Idk why Injustice got to keep that but Mortal Kombat didn't.
Honestly I love Injustice but free invincible wakeups- many of which were safe, and some of those multihitting armor breakers- is the worst part about that series.
I didnt count most WU options because, like you said they arent great (Like just getting up will seldom be done in front of your opponent so I didnt count it). But yea there is more than 2 but less than in MK11 which is my main point.
Well the main point I was making is that a lot of that chip damage stuff can be flawless blocked and you can do it while already having had blocked the first hit, or first 2 hits, and so on. The same thing applies to Scorpions db2, I just tested it. You can block on WU, then Flawless Block the 2nd or 3rd hit, then for the rest you take no chip even when Cyrax is called. This is something not many people are doing, flawless blocking these crazy chip damage strings/specials and I think a lot don’t realize you can Flawless Block while blocking and don’t HAVE to FB the first hit.
If you do snag it, I'd be curious as to your thoughts. I'm hoping they improve performance (even if it means more visual cuts) even more as time goes on. Definitely not the way to play the game competitively, but the Switch version would be a fun pass time if you're regularly doing long commutes.
I get what you mean, you can flawless block the 1st, 2nd or even 3rd hit on WU. And Im gonna have no choice but to lab it until I get it down.
Drop everything and go watch it now. That big project for work can wait, your mother's bday can wait. Life can wait. Go watch it.
Got a quick look at kameo Tremor. He's packing a summon assist that launches(his old db+2U. Maybe he also has db+2D as an overhead launcher), and an ambush anti-air/combo extender ala Scorpion fire breath. Maybe he also has a ground pound, or his Aftershock up rock.
