I hear this on youtube vids, on twitch, etc.
Recent nickops video he says FT2 is conducive to scrub out-gimmicking you, which I understand implicitly. But what exactly IS gimmick game play in this game.
I've had a few people message me on KL after a win saying "you play like a P***Y", "you're a spammer" and what not.
Personally I try to adjust in any random unpredictable way possible if I know I'm playing someone I have a chance to get a W with. Sometimes I'll go a round where I'm not doing ANY combos, I'll just throw at every possible moment. Poke throw, throw after a hit confirm of a mid, stagger throw, poke poke throw. Then I switch it up. Is that a gimmick? My character has 2 throw Kb's so I feel like "Throwing is encouraged" for him.
IMO Mk11 is pretty balanced overall and each character has certain strategies they employ to maximize their effectiveness. Kung laos jump, Jades D2, etc. I hate it when people complain about gimmick Jade's using D2. Why would these players not use their best button? It's madness to think they'll not use it, especially if the opponent can't adjust.
What do yall consider gimmick game play? Is most of it hot air and salt? One thing I can say honestly is the player that over-jumps, i will consider gimmick game play. But I've adjusted to that decently well since the early days.
