I really want to know if command grabs unblockable? I hope they handle them KOF style.
They were in Injustice, can't imagine they won't be here. Kind of defeats the point of it...
Yeah but they corrected a lot of MK9 mistakes in Injustice, command grabs being one, can't imagine they'll undo that : )
How can you possibly say that? The game isn't even out yet!looks bottom tier
I hope for all our sakes the kommand grabs for MKX will not be stupid DBF inputs like injustice.
Kof 13 grabs that are both unblockable and combo able? I don't think any move had that property in mk9, they either were unblockable and not comboable or comboable and blockable. Then again I don't consider anything blockable to be a true throw, it's more of a auto combo attack animation.
Like any other character a command grab is a special move right? So why no simple inputs like other characters like DF or DB plus a button? For example in Street Figher a full 360 motion plus a button to grab on 4 different grapple characters, now granted it can be done effectively but with allot of practice (as I learned over time and practice). In every fighting game I feel grapplers get the shaft from having PITA inputs, and having to try and get in on everyone at the same time. Most grapplers don't have projectiles as well, so it makes it even harder thus grapplers become low to mid tier at best.
The reason for the long inputs for command grabs is because command grabs are usually very few frames, so the inputs are there to extend those frames (so if a grab is 3 frame, but requires d,b,f+3 it becomes 6 frames). But you get around this by buffering the input into a jump or a normal. If you were to make the inputs much simpler the character would become too powerful or the throw would have to be made much slower and then you ruin the point of the character.
You said NOTHING I didn't already know bro. Think of it as a new comer stand-point. If you play a game and see that wow this character has a cool throw special move, I want to play him/her, then come to find out that it's a bitch to do in a fight then well your turned off by the game and bingo player/fan base goes down by one. Simple math.
I don't understand what you're saying. You want throws to be + on block? Or you want all a grappler's normals to be + on block to remove the need of buffering? That still solves nothing because you could point blank do your unlockable 3 frame throw. If you want simpler commands you'd HAVE to make the throws slower, which would completely destroy a grappler's game plan.
No problems, I just think in games we have atm that grapplers are at a disadvantage. I play Gundy too and Ares but as far as command grabs go I with there was an in-between going from a single button push to a long input, to sort of keep grapplers in the same power levels as other character arch-types.
Yes, you're absolutely right. I'm not sure what I was talking about, looking back on it. I mean, even if it did apply to Injustice or MK (which it doesn't), that extra 1 frame from the additional input really wouldn't make much difference at all.
Perhaps. Although there are still simpler motions left not assigned to anything most of the time. Tbh I'm tot a big fan of making controls trickier without good reason to.
Not that improbable considering how little we know about this freak squad.
