Lol yeah

I love Astaroth, I thought I was gonna gravitate towards Voldo (since Lizzy isn't actually here yet) but he's a large burly grappler with big damage and no indoor voice whatsoever.
Yeah, Astaroth is a cool character, he's not my style but his moves are so hype to watch happen.

Poor Azwel.

Tbf they said they increased the hitbox size of everyone’s 3B on an opponent who whiffed and yet Tira’s whiffs MORE post patch after she side steps an attack. Meanwhile, Yoshi’s 3BB hit me standing directly behind him going for a sidestep punish and killed me.

With Azwel they actually did a decent job with hitbox fixes, but there's still a lot of random whiffing.

22B literally whiffs on some characters standing still if you do it by stepping on the right, and in some cases even crouching, which is pretty terrible since the move hits mid. And 44B isn't much better.

I will say, Raphael must have Amy's hitbox or something because a lot of character specific combos people will say "does not work on Raphael" and then a bunch of female characters names. I feel the whiffing problem, Raphael's 44B if you decide to commit to such a slow, unsafe move or just use it in combos just randomly decides to completely phase through your opponent's legs and whiff; Raph's 2A also randomly just doesn't have a hitbox and goes through your opponent. It's fun

Yesterday was a beautiful struggle. Struggle to get good quality matches, but beautiful in the sense that y'all stayed and laugh at my pain lol

Needless to say, i still had tons of fun even though i felt like fighting in water. But @Eldagrin you right. I reset my modem and my matches got better. So from now on! Before I start stream, Im gonna do that every time just to be on the safe side. But if you haven't seen last night's stream, look at this crazy tidbit i came across.

Man Siegfried players with Dark Legacy up are hilarious, they’re all fishing for that fat 60% of your life 3B lethal hit or just mashing out the 6A+B haha fuck your pressure button. I love playing Raph against them and doing 1K like 5 times in a row and they’re like “surely he won’t do it again, I’ll definitely get him with my 6A+B” and then they eat 1K again and it stuffs 6A+B and they lose. It’s beautiful, really.

I’ve definitely never seen an Ivy with reactions so bad they fail to block random 2A+Bs from Mina that many times in a row.

I didn’t have sound on because I was walking to a class. I’ll look at it with sound later. Yeah SC6 is super fun, I’m definitely going to keep with it when MK11 drops.

I know everyone is on the MK11 stress test that only has 3 characters not named Shang Tsung, Cassie and Geras (yawn, boring), but I just wanted to show why I love Raphael's evade so much. It's so fucking good.

Dude if you could play the beta on PC I'd be all over it myself.

Anyway have you ever tried evading Azwel's beyblade? A training parter of mine does it to me, it's hilarious.

Lmao, I have before, the animation is hilarious. Any move that Raph has to dodge like 12 times is comical looking.

Edit: I didn’t even bother signing up for the stress test, I pre ordered for the beta but I’m not super interested in playing any fighting game extensively until I can look at frame data and properly lab, that’s just how I play. I’d like to personally see how the game feels but that’s all I’m interested in.

I would just like to ask, since this game series also had the mechanic. Did you guys enjoy perfect blocking in SCV? I thought it was a terrible mechanic and I think it’s going to be a bad mechanic in MK11. Making a safe move unsafe because you blocked it right as it is about to hit you is stupid design. It totally ruined a lot of character’s offensive options in SCV imo.

I didn't play SCV, but the OGs I play with told me that the mechanic itself wassn't too bad, but it was just way too easy to do. They even compared it to SC6's GIs, which makes sense.

SC6 GIs are very forgiving, it is a pretty good comparison to SCV perfect block, my problem with it was that unlike a GI it’s just free damage. Could you imagine like Gloomy Tira blocking a safe move you do and getting a free launch off it?

That sounds quite bad, and MK11's flawless block doesn't look much different. Hopefully they'll fix it.

I think the drastically reduced chip should be enough of a reward tbh or just make it where you can only do the invincible move off the flawless block is all.
