Practice music, lets gooo, hypeeee!

This is the variation I want to try the most. The risk/reward for the drinking mechanic reminds me of Bane's venom in Injustice, just a little less ridiculous. I wonder if the moves on level 3 have better frame data and such to the moves on level 1 because being punished for getting that drunk has to be worth it in the first place. Only 12 more days.

The drunken variation to be discussed here. Saved for future purposes.

The stamina replenish on his drink is what got me the most tbh; could be a huge tool for him.

Also, did his drink increase the damage on his grab?

 

[skater11]

ahh I had just made this thread on my stupid slow phone. oh well, a mod can take care of it i guess

 

[DelSchokoladenSaft]

That's what I'm upset about, the variations that interest me, they don't spend enough time on it.
Smoke first and now Drunken Master. They just say "enhanced moveset"...is that Specials only? Is it normals too? What it is? What makes them better? Different effects?

They keep failing on showing off the less-flashy variations...

...If you're from the land of the free. Europe has to wait until the 4th of March, I hear.

Oh damn. I just assumed that was MK XL and not KP2.

Now that you bring that up, I could be spreading misinformation. Whoops!

If the title was meant to be in Spanish, it would be: "La leyenda de los 8 inmortales borrachos"

I don't think they were very clearly when announcing it tbh, I'm gonna look into it.

 

[DelSchokoladenSaft]

perdónome, was meant to slightly troll, forgot about the gender stuff.

I'm gonna mess around with Drunken Master cause i think itt'll be good fun.

It's just typical Drunken Bo and has a super cool playstyle. I dont think they went too much in deep with DM showcase, so im not gonna call gimmicks just yet yet.

however, Bartitsu looks the most solid out of the 3, with Dragon's Breath covering the "projectile" departement.

he has godlike AAs and Trip guard tools across his 3 variations tho

Not sure I agree... it may just be the most strait forward, which can translate into the most reliable and therefore into the tournament variation. still i suspect that like you said, DM was barely demonstrated. The Flame variation looks ok, but there are much stronger zoning options in MKx.

DM seams to basically be a version of GrandSub. .. it looks complex, and the constant drinking could be fiddly, but i'm call it now.. DM has hidden dirt!!

I thought the cain version to be the least appealing actually.

 

[KingKhrystopher]

Barjitsu might be the next Bojutsu if you think about it.

I might give him a chance.

Wasn't dragons breath only projectile the ex flame breath? I don't really think he'll have any zoning capailities in any of his variations.

by solid I meant exactly "tournament solid". Bartitsu has basic Bo 50/50 mixups plus range, fast mids (tanya b1, basically), armor breaking, restands and so on.

i agree that DM seems to have the deepest meta plus various hidden stuff that might be dirty, or not... it's just that it'll take more time to figure out i guess.

so I'm gonna go with Bartitsu just to get the feel of Bo's playstyle, while labbing DM like a maniac.

i didnt say Zoning indeed. I put the quotes on projectile cause it's more like reptiles balls.

Just because the only time you mentioned DB was to say it covered projectiles, which made me think you thought it was a projectile heavy variation.
I guess I misinterpreted.
