Yeah I wonder how hard some of them are to remember. Like in one of the fights today, Ultra Dave asked 16bit how something was a krushing blow, and 16bit said something like "ummm I think this one is if you perfect block the first hit, but fail at perfect blocking the second hit, it becomes a krushing blow." No way will I remember that kind of shit for every character.
Yes, exactly. I guarantee there will be characters that have easier executions than others... seems too complicated, not only will we inevitably face nerfs/buffs to moves, now we may see nerfs/buffs to execution on crushing blows for these moves. Granted, this is all conjecture but I’m just not into the concept. At all. We’ll see how it goes!
This game feel is definitely very, very different from MK9. If anything it reminds me of MK2.
The back piece says "CAGE", so if Cassie wasn't already confirmed, this oughta be the last push.Could this picture possibly confirm Kano to be playable?
If so then it seems like once again NRS is playing things safe. So far the only surprise returnee was Skarlet.
If you take the time to learn how to block crazy ass mixups in MKX then you can take a few for krushing blows
You don't it much here but one of the most common complaints I've seen about MKX is that it passed on klassic characters for new blood, particularly with issue to the Kombat Kids
Blocking mixups is a visual process, how the fuck are you going to know if the requirement for a crushing blow is block 4 uppercuts then do it? You can’t, you’re gonna have to be looking this shit up. That’s my problem with this.
Blocking and punishing correctly still isn't something you just learn without practice or just getting hit by it a million times. I really think you are overblowing how hard it is to learn of a couple situations with each character which you'll probably only see one or two per character in casual play. Most of the requirements will likely be intuitive such as whiff punishing and whanot.
I’m not trying to overblow anything, I said it was conjecture and we’ll see how it plays out. What I’m saying is I don’t like the concept, it’s not some game breaker for me or anything. In concept it seems like it can be annoying especially if some characters are granted full combo punishes and some don’t and whether or not some characters will have easy execution ones and others don’t or if you have to keep track of how many times your opponent has done something or if they performed a flawless block, it’s just another layer of balance that seems over complicated. That being said, it could be totally fine, this is just initial opinions and observations based on watching a pre release build.
It's Kung Fu.
I don’t mind the UI color scheme and will probably just get used to the health system.. I do however think the font and design of Finish Him is ugly af lol
Watch your tone, or I have to cut it out. (In my Kano Voice)
I don't think it's as nice as the MKX design. Seems too busy by comparison. Colours are nice though, a good change from the stark white previously.
and here it is. The gif I've been waiting for.They just released footage of the Baraka design meeting:
You are confusing krushing blows with fatal blow. Krushing blows, you have like 6 of them with their own activation requirements and you can do as many of them as you want as long as you meet these requirements. Fatal blow is what you can do only once per game and you can only do it when you are below 30% health.
Both Krushing Blows and Fatal Blows are limited to once per game
Honestly I wasn't a fan. Seems too bright and busy for MK. I absolutely loved MKX in terms of design and was hoping they would keep the darker, toned down colours for future games. It will get some time getting used to.
The crowd was hype as fuck. Unfortunately the crowd mic mix was sometimes flat on the stream. The 'are you ready' and introducing Ed Boon was deafening in the venue.
... I can't wait for Kombat Kast.
Are you sure about that?) was it stated?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was, but I can't remember whether 16bit or K&M said it
