Reset kombos. I hate them. They ruined MK9 for me because they are a cheap, nasty habit that people abuse for easy wins. People do low damage mini kombos and rely more on the reset than taking time to learn how to do a proper 40% + bnb. I do not want reset kombos to be the future of MK, but that's my opinion.

They were always OTG glitches that NRS failed to fix. And god knows they tried to fix Cyrax.

They would be fine if every character had them and we accepted MK as a touch of death game like Marvel. But when it's specific to 2-3 characters then you gotta fix it or your game will be looked as a joke and be a huge turn off for a big chunk of the FGC.

Resets should always be something that you can actually evade or block. Not something guaranteed. The whole point of resets is to sacrifice X guaranteed damage for XX potential damage. It should always come with a risk of failing.

I voted no with the assumption that you mean Cyrax and Smoke resets only. Because "resets" that only allow you to continue pressure and the opponent can block (JC net punch) might be needed by certain characters.

Yeah...reset combos are just...bleh. Jax has reset combos in the corner too.

Small OTG resets (Scorpion, Reptile [his can be blocked], Sindel and Skarlet.) are okay as long as they don't lead to big damage.

They're not even resets, they were damage exploits. Glitches that should not have been in the game.

They will not return for MK10, and if they do, it won't be intentional.

They are glitches (exploits) but that doesn't mean you can't call them resets. The point is that NRS doesn't make the same mistakes again.

Cyrax and Smoke are damage exploits, i hope those don't return.

Skarlet on the other hand, her unique blockstring play style was a huge factor also because she had a reset, and those were pretty cool because it tooks lots of mastery to understand what the hell will you do next.
Johnny C and Sonya's reset were pretty fine as well and each one gave them a different option.

Cyrax & Smoke's can fuck off, it's just some stupid damage exploits... Standing Reset like Kabal, Sonya, Skarlet,...'s is fine. Just make it balanced.

Should they return? Proberly not but I guarantee some will slip through the net,no pun intended and we'll all be crying all over again.

But I loved watching Cyrax combo videos. Seriously though, damage exploits should be taken out obviously. Standing resets are fine as long as they don't belong to characters with safe 50/50 vortexes. Scorpions was fine since both ways were punishable but batgirl and killer frost type vortexes shouldn't be in.

I'm fine with Cyrax doing 80% BnB's personally. I mean, even with them...he wasn't the best in the game! How messed up were the top 2 characters that Cyrax, with all his dirt (command grab loops, resets, breaker traps, ect...) wasn't the best? Someone has to keep those guys in check. GGA 16 Bit

i'm not a fan of reset's , I think there cheap! but one thing I will say about them is that I noticed I would step up my game a bit when fighting a Cyrax player , do NOT get caught in that net bro! lol so I don't think they should be in the game but on the other hand i'm not complaining...i'l just raise my game!...oh and its "Combo's" .

If they don't return nrs needs to b sure to really take time and provide balance! Imagine cyrax with no resets in mk9! He would suck! Bad!
I always thought if they took the resets away, gave the projectile buzz saw without meter and made the 33 string a low he might of been ok!
