Sonya wants to know your locationI just miss oldschool mk, you block or you get hit lol. None of this lame stagger, 50 50 gimmicky bullshit lol. Ehh not sure about everyone, if everyone could zone yeah. But only some can zone while others are op up close
Nyc, she can come I'd do her lol

Daily reminder that Jax has almost no plus frames and even when he is he’a only +1 so you can almost always take your turn back if you stop waiting 3 seconds to interrupt his stagger.
Seems very difficult then because I rarely if ever see anyone interrupting his kick kick, punch, punch that jax players throw out. Def is plus on it unless it's something that is online exploit. I have found to keep him far if I can get away the best way. And dont forget his command grabs unblockable...
Ye wanted to be canon with the green energy so I changed it.@M.Dwoah johnny kryptonian now?
The mindgame is in the stagger. Is he gonna stagger f3 or is he about to f3 overhead. Especially with online it's a different game
the first kick is -11 and there’s a gap between the 2 kicks and the punch punch that can be flawless blocked, it’s also -7 so if he’s still pressing buttons after that that’s on you.
Sometimes they dont even just do the kicks just pokes which are insanely fast if they dont out speed my pokes. Into his punch string that you cant get away from. Like the other guy said its a 5050 stagger game with him having the edge. It's pretty much braindead. But then its mk 11, alot of dumb shit in this game even if you do read right.
it’s not in his favor if you play someone who outdamages him. He has to build up heat to KB you so just accept the fact that you have to hard read out of his staggers.
The staggers are dumb in this game but has nothing to do with me reading its he has advantage up close vs most characters in this game and a stupidly fast poke. As far as I'm concerned hes busted. That's why I'm saying his combined tools if you will are too op. Just compare him to say raiden or even liu kang when they're on top of you. But like I said that's why I keep his ass far, if he cant get near me he cant do shit.
Yes, this rushdown character beats most characters up close.. how is that busted?
I never see anyone punishing it and reason I say hes busted is because hes too good with all those tools. Multiple kbs, dumb pressure up close, unblockable command grabs and a fb that goes practically full screen. I get it hes a rushdown guy but so are other characters that aren't so braindead up close. That being said, i dont mind agreeing to disagree.
Like how old school you talking? Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that even the oldest mk games had some sort of stagger pressure in it.I just miss oldschool mk, you block or you get hit lol. None of this lame stagger, 50 50 gimmicky bullshit lol. Ehh not sure about everyone, if everyone could zone yeah. But only some can zone while others are op up close
They just nerfed his FB.
I know it's a high now, thank God for that it's still got great range though but at least it's a high. Jax is just really, really, really annoying to deal with in this game up close. He's easily the best in this MK out of every MK he's ever been in.
The older MK's from the 2D era never had staggers like the later MK's but namely MK 11 where every character has staggers of some kind, granted some more than others. But I'm talking from the 90's into the 3D era. But mostly the 90's games, it was just you either blocked or ate the combo(if you blocked you take chip which hasn't changed) or got hit.. There wasn't 50/50's. If you blocked high it blocked pokes and down low kick, high kick etc the only move you needed to block low were sweeps Back+low kick and of course throws you had to hold back, down and block. MK 11 just has gimmicks in it, which is why everyone picks the op characters with all the easy stagger set ups, into 50/50's(another thing NRS lied about saying they didn't want alot of again like MK X) but they're still in there lol. Hopefully that clears up what I mean though. I would be for throw escapes and of course good wake ups like MK 9 added if they remastered the older MK's if they wanted some newer elements to it, or just redo it polished but gameplay hardly untouched.
That’s the thing though, Jade does an amazing job of keeping Jax out. She has a multitude of zoning options and her normals and advancing moves reach farther than his and are better overall. If the Jax player wants to play the zoning game here comes the purple glow. She does a good job of also whiff punishing Jax players since most things Jax will do I’m the neutral or out of block (f2, f3,3,etc) will probably whiff because of Jade’s great space control. Then you have her uppercut, which just shuts down any attempt by any Jax players to get in by jumping. And this may sound dumb, but Jade players have options to get out of Jax’s pressure, it isn’t impossible. Overall I think she wins.
If she's full screen yeah, but if he gets in on her it's all over because it's beyond difficult to get space from him once he's in on her. She does have great zoning tools from mid far to full screen but sweep or close is when she's very vulnerable, especially vs Jax of all people. His pressure up close destroys hers easily and his FB has insane range so you don't want to be in the air against Jax with FB since that practically reaches full screen almost. Her D2 is good, like Subs, Shao Kahn's, LK's and a few others in the game as well though I rarely see good Jax players jump most of them tend to wave dash or just try to slowly get in on the ground. Nothing is impossible of course but it's highly unlikely to escape good Jax pressure especially if he has her or anyone in the corner, 99% of the time it's going to be bad for whoever Jax is pinning down.
Ya, that's how I played those games back in the 90s too. I was 8 and didn't know anything let alone people played those games competitively.
They were easier to pick up but harder to master than these newer MK's. Oh if you played the oldschool guys like Shock, DeD, Miss Spin, the South American players etc etc in say UMK3 you'd be like shit, I have to practice haha. But I didn't feel jipped if I lost in those games nearly as much as these ones. I used to think kara jabs weren't that important but they are if you want to play more competitive in UMK3 anyway. But yeah, a lot of moves had pushback as well in those games. The cancelling jabs into block were fun.
