Shark Tank
I don't actually play these games
Buff da projectiles.
What I find hilarious is that Erron Black is not the only one with safe 50/50's for combos and mixups. Just wait until everyone has the game and starts exploring these characters. It's much much worse. Just from simply testing things there are a few characters with safe 50/50's and I found a 1 meter Batgirl-esque safe loop with one character. This isn't even my playstyle so I can imagine what other people will find.I agree.
From what I have seen, Mortal Kombat X is similar to Injustice except in the following ways.
1. You can run and apply 50/50 mix ups very quickly. (Why some 50/50 mix ups are safe is beyond my comprehension).
2. Defensive options have deteriorated.
3. Lack of "space control" characters like Aquaman, Sinestro, and Zod.
As a result, you have a fighting in which all players do is run and do 50/50 mix ups, which is how Sonic Fox won tonight.
Kano's Cybernetic variation lists the knife toss as having 11 frames of start up, -10 recovery frames on block (at point blank range), and +10 on hit (at point blank range). It also hits mid. EX version hits three times, starts up in 8 frames, and provides a +6 block advantage (at point blank range). In terms of frame data, the knife toss (in Cybernetic) has to be the best projectile in the game. It is kind of like a fear blast that hits mid.
Kenshi, Liu Kang, Quan Chi, and Shinnok have potential too, but I do not have access to the game yet, so I have not explored them.
Is that with or without the "day 1" patch?What I find hilarious is that Erron Black is not the only one with safe 50/50's for combos and mixups.

Meanwhile so much of the zoning is unsafe on block, has unnecessarily large recovery, etc. It will take absolute focus and precision to zone in MKX, while people can pick up certain characters and just make you guess up or down while they take your bar away. Ridiculous.
Also, what I find the most ironic, for all you "nothing is wrong people" out there I have one simple question. Why is it not ok to have fast recovery, block adv, frame traps at mid to full screen, but it is ok to have frame traps and safe 50/50's that lead to full combos at close distance?
I've asked this so many times and have yet to get a legit answer.
There was a patch it made me download. There might be another one on Tuesday, not sure. While it might impact certain aspects of the game, I highly doubt the playstyle mechanics they've implemented is one of them.Is that with or without the "day 1" patch?
Well I'm mainly concerned with the frame data on chucking plasma. It seems it can be helped if what you say is that they recover too long, their 50/50's, at least in the way that NRS does it's oye old classic jailing except for block inputs probably not. Although making some - might help.There was a patch it made me download. There might be another one on Tuesday, not sure.

I've been exploring the zoning nonstop. I've got 13 hours and counting in the practice room (lol).Kano's Cybernetic variation lists the knife toss as having 11 frames of start up, -10 recovery frames on block (at point blank range), and +10 on hit (at point blank range).

Yea there isn't much in the way of MK9 Freddy/Kenshi zoning in this game.Well I'm mainly concerned with the frame data on chucking plasma.

You took the words right out of my mouth. If its one thing I learned. Its that they will find something to complain about.What I find hilarious is that Erron Black is not the only one with safe 50/50's for combos and mixups.

What's the frame data on the Necro exclusive moves?I've been exploring the zoning nonstop. I've got 13 hours and counting in the practice room (lol).
Really check out Shinnok Necro, Kano, and Kenshi. They're about as far as zoning can take you without getting bodied from other weaknesses or too much rushdown/50/50's/other Bs overflowing in the game.
I'm liking Necro Shinnok more and more. A lot of potential there.
Claw ground attack- Mid, 20f start up, -19 on block, 44 recovery, 9.6% damage. EX is -10 on block, pops up for combo, 8.10% damage. Tracking special.What's the frame data on the Necro exclusive moves?

According to the frame data, Liu Kang's fireballs do not seem too bad in the Flame Fist variation. I think he may have a safe armored attack and a parry. In general, he appears to be versatile character in that variation.Yea there isn't much in the way of MK9 Freddy/Kenshi zoning in this game.
With the exception of Shinnok and Kano, the rest of the cast has hella negative frames on their zoning tools, while everyone has super fast runs and some sort of "kick your ass up close" tools.
Close distance attacks outside of pokes should not be positive either, and mixups esp should not be safe. But if projectiles are too safe on block, it prevents even other zoners to shoot back making it too momentum/offensive based. Look at week one deathstroke mirror matches for example.I've asked this so many times and have yet to get a legit answer.
"Zoners Among Us"? Right. When the two best characters in the game both have teleport special moves. One of which is safe on block.The Injustice series should stay zoners among us, and let the mk series be the opposite.
You're right I forgot about Liu. He looks really strong in MKX, and his zoning is pretty good. His fireballs do 10.50% damage when his fist are buffed, and the data on them in general is really really good. I hate that they removed his ability to consistently IAF, but he seems so strong this time around that he won't need it.There is no legit answer.

His dragonfire variation fireballs seem to be even faster than the flamefist ones.There is no legit answer. The majority of people in this community are scrubs who hate zoning.

What about full auto jacqui, marksman erron black, or heavy weapons jax? I don't have the game... all I know is from the streams. Are they all hella negative on block?I've been exploring the zoning nonstop. I've got 13 hours and counting in the practice room (lol).

No they aren't.His dragonfire variation fireballs seem to be even faster than the flamefist ones.
Oh, I was just talking out of my ass. I was trying to eyeball it from the kk breakdown.No they aren't.
DragonFire Fireball- 30f start up, -24 on block, -3 hit adv.
Dragon Low Fireball- 11f start up, -19 on block, +7 on hit.
Flame Fist Fireball- 10f start up, -16 on block, +5 on hit.
Flame Fist Low Fireball- 11f start up, -15 on block, +6 on hit.
Flamefist Fireballs are definitely better. DragonFire has a better air fireball, but that's irrelevant since IAF strategies are dead in MKX.
The reason the Anti-Zoner DLC chars are the best in the game is because almost every other good character in injustice is some sort of zoner. Its like rock paper scissors (rushdown, zoning, anti-zoning) if you can't sympathize with the rushdown chars that can't move forward on you, don't expect pity when theres characters that you can't move away from."Zoners Among Us"? Right. When the two best characters in the game both have teleport special moves. One of which is safe on block.
Get out of this thread, you fool.
