So the Block Breaker...

[dwz_mk9]

So the block breaker. One tool that’s been sorely forgotten in MKX mainly because of how awful it is; two bars of meter and all of your stamina for almost nothing in return. So the question for today is how can we make this tool better? In certain situations it would be a great tool against the likes of Kung Lao and Tanya. However, if NRS were to change this mechanic to not make it as useless as page 2 of Google search, they need to be careful in how it’s handled. Characters that have average to great meter building could abuse this to where the opponent could never have the chance to open someone up. For example, let’s say the block breaker only required one bar and no stamina. Summoner Quan Chi or HQT Predator could keep you at bay and once you started pressuring them they use a block breaker, back dashes once, and you’re back to square one. So how does NRS make this tool better? Discuss!

They should make Breakers not make your stamina deplete, it ruins them.

It's ideal. So..I'll believe it when I see every character but Quan break outta Quan's vortex.

I block broke once in my entire MIX experience. Only to have the Liu Kang MB Bicycle kick right back into my face. GG lol

1-bar and it does cost stamina, but with no delay on regeneration? That way they can't backdash right away, but you're not totally fucked for trying to escape pressure.

Block breakers should be left to rot . If you buff them , you are basicly buffing all of the top 5 characters since they have the highest meter-building in the game. And they also have some of the best options after a breaker. It's really not a good idea.

You get punish for using it to get out of pressure by having your stamina taking away for a good second or two.....Why?

 

[STB Shujinkydink]

As a quan main I use it a lot actually. It's pretty useful once you get used to it. For him anyway

Is it already time for the periodic "block breaker sucks, NRS pls ignore us more" thread?

I don't think block breakers are the issue.

I think +12 mids are the problem.

Maybe a fighting game shouldn't have +12 mids.

It's pretty dumb.

Idk tho

"Perhaps we could had some sort of confetti or glitter effect? You know, more fun for the casuals?"

 

[Helter Skelter]

I would like to see them buffed. One bar and two stamina with the stamina penalty is fine. If the top tier characters can abuse it adjust 'their' meter build.

 

[SaltShaker]

We all know how to buff it.

1 bar of meter, 1 bar of stamina.

Will they do it is another question.

in a game with so much armor it's not that bad

 

[conqueror]

with having brain dead pressure characters such as tanya kang etc, IMO should be 1 bar & no stamina

 

[TwiztidOne]

Here's an idea, keep them 2 meters and stamina but make them around +15 so after you block break you can start up pressure, I don't see that as too unfair considering the resources it cost to use a block breaker, but again it's just an idea
