I did not but looking at Mustard and Ketchup's video, Scorpion was the strongest out of the cast. I would go by their analysis since they had more time with the game. From what i've seen, Sonic was only using Sonya. Unless i am missing something here.
He has a valid point. The cost of breakers was always meter. Meter had to be earned. And if you spent your meter you couldn't EX offensive moves, so it was also an offensive consideration. Now you get it for free, and even start with both bars already, and even after spending your entire defensive bar you can still meter-burn stuff, so that consideration is gone -- it's a totally different ballgame.
r NRS needs to keep their defensive options so more players can actually play the game and we have a healthier meta with a plethora of new and veteran players!
You don't get breakaway for free. It depletes your defensive meter and as a result you are on the ground, with no chance of wakeup. That is a high cost. Mkx breakers costed bar that had to be earned, yes, but the reward was MUCH better: they actually reseted the neutral and depleted stamina so they always gave you actual room to breathe for those bars. That's not the case with the breakaway, which imo is weaker than traditional breaker in the sense that you don't always get that chance to breathe.
I'm somewhat wondering if that's leftover from testing. Scorp was almost certainly one of the first characters made in the new game, and they might have given him a bunch of different moves just to test things while models for the rest of the cast were made. He's also got smoke's smoke bombs (although toned down, identical character animation). I suspect he may not make it to the final build with all of this.
I mean...do they? Like yeah you don't get invincible DP's like in SF, but you also get full combo punishes off of most common antiairs.
Top players opinions on balance aren't worth much
Well lets look at what Fox is asking for. First, falling out of a combo leaves you on the ground now, not standing like I2, and since it takes both bars that means you wont have resources to wake up or roll after. So Fox wants to be able to counter breaker you for a reset KI style after you spend your resources to break a juggle unsuccessfully and then after he already reset you you wont be able to wake up so he will free mix you again after. AKA Fox wants to hit you with 3 full combos worth of damage in a period of 10 seconds.
Wrong
stay salty
"Stay salty"
I don't know what you mean by "can" but you have #PunchWalk under your name, I don't wanna hear it lol. People constantly complain about Ice Clone, just cause SF said something about it doesn't mean he was the deciding factor, you're projecting.
I never once heard anyone complain about ice clone before SF complained.
They’ve already said that 50/50s are greatly minimized from MKX/IGAU in this game, so no one should be allergic to actually waking up and blocking instead of feeling the MK-esque need to hit a button every single time. Some old habits are going to need to be broken.
Play against literally anyone and hit them with Ice Clone and they will start complaining, maybe not "seasoned vets" like yourself, but your average person complains about that move. It's an annoying move, that's it's design.
My analysis was based of what we know about MK11 and what Sonic said directly and nothing more. We know mix ups still exist for characters lile sonya as we saw them in the exhibitions, we know fox is going to play the mix character and not baraka who gets damage from punishes, and if counter breakers were to exist like fox wants then the scenario i just described where you get free reset into another 50-50 would absolutely exist. No thank you
He wants baraka nerfed, no doubt about it
Heh, well played. I'll call Sonic out for wanting access to the most broken, OP'd move set which he and Dragon will undoubtedly discover before everyone elseLol I expect to see all of you who were trashing that dude who opened a thread about wanting custom variations in tournament to call out Sonic for being a casual as well.
The non uppercut wakeups are invincible.
First of all, 16 bit said that not all of them are safe on block, it depends on the character. Maybe there is a reason why some of them have a safe one. And also, we don't know if there are other ways of punishing them that don't involve blocking. Maybe you can jump them, crossup them, perfect block them...
