WAssssUPPPP! - Ghostface General Discussion

[Eddy Wang]

If you watched the QA match, you can see Ghostface get hit out of command run when they try to do it off of a string.

And no, you're not just "spending meter to stagger somebody."

You're spending meter for fast fireballs(including a diagonal one that recovers very fast), a re-stand, pressure, and another launcher option.

Part of mental stack in fighting games is being able to throw different stuff at the opponent to try and open them up. Kobra is just another layer. Another option.

restands into phone call mixps are going to be sick, i'm very tempted to get ghost face as well lmao.

You mention stuffing the run, but don't mention what happens when you stuff ANY of the other Killers attacks, or even just neutral. A d1 punish on Base is a check, a d1 punish on an alt killer is a full launching combo, that you probably wont be able to break because you spent meter to switch in the first place.

I'm getting Embrace Khaos vibes off of this. Where it's a super cool idea, but not worth the cost.

Speculation ofc, we don't fully know anything yet. But imo I think Killer switch shouldn't cost meter, but you should also remove the Geras Ethereal "can't be combod" property of it. Maybe remove the timer too

I have to say, I was very down on this guest, but he dose look cool AF. Great stabby, stabby moves and he dose not come off looking stupid like I was worried about. Also loved the teleports being a "2nd" killer. Very cool.

Not sure what the glowing projectile is supposed to be "lore" wise... but everything else is bang on. I do not mind the projectile thing at all I should state.

Be interesting to see how the skins work out for this guy... I mean a black cape and the mask looks cool, but how is that going to look all gold or pink lol.

When ever I see one of these horror guests, which imo are the best guests, I just want them to make a proper terradome game. All WB horror icons as the sole focus of the game. It wouldn't even be that hard, most of the big names already have gameplay designs.


Do you think that fatality will have a random person playing instead of Jonny? Or maybe they edited in Johnny and the player is who ever the fatality was performed on?

Wait. No, a d1 check isn't a full combo. In the cast, they hit Ghostface with spear and d2 and he was able to appear on the otherside before Scorpion could move.

They explicitly talked about this on the Kast.

And that's before we get to potential ambush use. Look, it's okay to not like the character.

I'm trying to stay in character and not say some very unkind things, but not only are these goalposts moving but I feel like you and I did not watch the same Kombat Kast.

I will say that we won't know much of anything until it's in our hands.

I never said I didn't like the character, I'm just discussing what I'm seeing lol.

You mention hitting the spear and d2, but that's exactly what I'm talking about. Yeah moves like spear and other long recovery moves will let GF punish you, but a d1 makes it so you recover first. You might be able to straight up get a standing punish before he can recover, and a d1 special cancel almost guaranteed will be a full launching punish.

You're a Geras main too. Just think of what happens when Geras is hit out of his Ethereal mode

when is Geras coming in as a Kamo so we all get access to time freeze? : )

When you fight Geras with Shujinko as your Kameo

 

[Felipe_Gewehr]

Dope character with lots of personality. NRS nailing another horror guest makes me want Pinhead as guest even more. Or maybe a full NRS Terrordrome game as well, as others have mentioned.

 

[Vulgar]

True, which is why I'm careful with how I use it.

To meet in the middle, I do think there will be counterplay, but that doesn't necessarily mean it won't have its uses.

 

[Jynks]

Yeah.. Pinhead has to be on the short list now, right?

 

[Eji1700]

Has he ever not been? I swear I recall him not already being in MK because of licensing hell, not for lack of desire.

 

[_CHINOCUDEIRO_]

Im returning to MK just for this character.
Well, what do you think who is goning to be a good khameo option? I think in Ferra-Torr to open up cause I dont see too much meterless launcher options

Ed Boon himself has tweeted sometime that "his name has been brought up many times".

 

[colby4898]

Idk about a full horror game but an MK Vs Horror game could be cool, just really lean into the dark theme, more like MKX and 9, make a story with them both and have half the cast classic horror characters and half classic MK characters

At around 9:17 in that video, a Fatal Blow is performed on Ghostface where you can see who's under the mask.

@Vulgar I'm theory fighting again, but if I recall right from the GF gameplay, when his Killer Timer runs out, I think I remember it canceling the animation he's currently in. Maybe it's just normals, maybe it's just specials, but if that's the case this could be really wild for combos. If you can swap to Kira mid combo, do another full combo with a kameo that allows you to delay long enough for the switch to happen, and right as it happens end the combo with either the b3 restand or Kiras dust restand, then. . . . . Who knows? Maybe another full combo? Could this be a pseudo infinite? If Ghostface is able to elongate the combo enough himself, then pairing him with the Meter Boosting Sareena might turn it into a real infinite.

Interesting. First thing I'm gonna try

 

[ImpostorOak]

Yall I was so disappointed in Ghostface that I'm a Tekken main, now. I'm still gonna try him, but Kira and Kobra being the other Ghostfaces is pretty not cool to me personally.

Why? Did you want them to be other Scream guys?
I personally wish they went further with the MK chars. Kobra doesn't even do any of the moves they gave him in MK1 lol. Imagine if it was Kabal and Kira. Now that's fucking tight. Ghostface with a Nomad Dash? The world isn't ready

Or shit if Billy is hiring mercenaries, let him hire Erron Black and Jarek too. No loyalty give him Red Dragon goons too like Hsu Hao. When they showed Kira's butterfly knives attack I legit thought it was him, because he had that exact same animation first in Deadly Alliance
