Was it a design choice to add three characters who have no normal combo options?

My biggest criticism about MK11 has been that characters have had too many options between their variations to the point that their identity gets removed.

what I really value is having different playstyles available to me.

Bruuuuuuuuuhhhhh lol

I love the wonky ass variations. That one liu kang variation with the yin and yang in mkx was like my second most played in the game.

To be more clear, what I meant to say is that I like when characters have different play styles from one another. If every character has the ability to utilize the same strategies as every other character, it's just a different paint job on the same experience.

A better way to phrase what I said would be that I like when a character has a well defined playstyle and has tools that play to those strengths, not when a character has so many options that they're a blank canvas for me to apply the same playstyle as other characters. If every character is expected to have some go-to BNB that their strategy centers around, that doesn't force the player to play that character any differently from anyone else.

tbh option 1 would be too costly for my taste. how do you delay db 2 in cloud walker though?

You pretty much get the meter back when the combo ends

Only thing I dislike I's the weird cancel window or input error when canceling into skywalker just going to practice more I guess

I’m really confused on Fujin’s delay combos. Seems like it only works from certain string starters at certain spacings?

If you're doing the Wakka combos, then your combo route is different based on spacing. Any other string it doesn't matter. They push you into a position where the tornado doesn't immediately connect.

I think B11 is the only string where you can't delay tornado at point blank range. Yeah, it's weird. He's a weird character

the Moment nrs released a character with slightly higher combo execution people immediately start to bitch about how he has no bnbs because they can‘t do them day one. pretty funny considering how many people were complaining characters are too easy to play before.

Is OP one of these trademark NRS community bad takes I hear so much about

tornado did not combo after b11 when i tested it.

The beauty of not having combos and intricate juggles is that it allows you to focus on what you do have. Your ranges, your damage values, your defense, your matchups and your frames. I assure you this game is grooming you to be better at neutral in your next fighting game.

Sound like some 99% up in here. . .

Robocop no need combo
robocop blenders you with hitconfirm into flamethrower for 20% and a million plus frames and forces you to guess strike or throw over and over again with no chance to break out.

Robocop perhaps has evolved past the need for childish concepts such as combos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Robocop evolved past the need for unique combo strings because he just does the exact same thing the other metal man does
