Question: Clash VS Break for MK10

[shinobispectre]

What are the benefits/cons of either system? What do you guys want/expect in MK10? Break system but with more meter options? Clash-esque system for the characters? If this question was posed before where is the thread so I can read it? I am curious to people's views on the mechanic.

 

[EMPRESS_SunFire]

Breaker for MKX definitely. Breaker is so MK and clash is so IGAU. We want them to be different games

 

[Eldriken]

Keep Injustice stuff to Injustice and keep Mortal Kombat stuff to Mortal Kombat.

 

[Mikemetroid]

Breakers are MK, clashes are for itsjustass

I respect this and at the same time... imagine the clash quotes!!!

 

[MidTierHarley]

Clash quotes are my favorite part of IGAU

 

[JSventoraGD]

Clashing allows both players to pause input and take a slight break as opposed to breakers (ironically). With the speed of MK's gameplay, a clash (I would imagine) would mess up the player's mojo.

 

[haketh]

Personally I'd hope for neither

 

[WakeUp DP]

Keep Injustice stuff to Injustice and keep Mortal Kombat stuff to Mortal Kombat.

Actually I and most of us would really like pushblock and mb cancels to comeback to MK10.

Sub-Zero: "I'll freeze your ass off!"
Scorpion: "Fire is x2 against Ice, dumbass."

I don't want anything with Injustice to make its way into MK. Injustice is its own thing and that's great, but I would like MK to be MK.

 

[TaffyMeat]

What were those mka things where you press b + block. It was like a reversal.

 

[xWildx]

I'd prefer breakers for MK, just because the Clash system was designed with the single lifebar in mind. If anything, I'd just like the breakers tweaked, because characters like Kenshi, Kabal, Sonya, etc. could completely abuse it in a way other characters couldn't.

 

[Compbros]

Breaker, stop the nonsense.

 

[SAREDODEVIL]

CMON BREAKERS!!

 

[Rathalos]

I would prefer none.

Wagers are alright as far as gimmicks go, and the dialog was pretty fun.

Breakers in general are just a concept I can't get behind, and wish they would go away.

It was a matter of balance with those characters, not a problem of the mechanic itself. Reducing the speed at which they build meter would have solved THAT problem. IF anything, what I would change is the meter required to perform a breaker, but wouldn't change the mechanic itself

Imagine if Mortal Kombat had an Injustice clash system:

....and your reward for getting in on Kabal and starting a combo on him was being put full screen so he could continue gas blasting you to death....

I do want clash quotes though- like, make them start of the match or maybe the end-of-round exchanges? That would be hype as hell.

 

[RTM2004]

I like the idea of push block.

Offense player builds meter through chip and Defensive player got to use 1 meter to get them off in exchange. No more EX meter drain glitch.

 

[haketh]

Yeah Breakers really have no reason to be around in MK.

meterless breakers limited to one per game. meter should be for EX moves and supers etc

I'm aware it was a problem with the characters, but they excelled at it due to the mechanic. That's why I said it overall should be tweaked, obviously character balance comes into play as well.

Yeah...no. I don't really like the idea of them being limited like that. I would make Xrays cost two bars and be a bit less porwerful and have breakers cost 3 bars. With that change you would see more xrays and less breakers. A lot of characters EN specials should have to be buffed though, or else there wouldn't be a reason to use them either.

Breakers. Keep the gimmicks for Injustice.
