What is your day 1 hot take?

[Chuckyscookie]

The grinding for gear aspect side, the game is great.

Hot Take: Early character viability and popularity will heavily depend on the moves chosen for the tournament variations. Kabal not having his Hook Grab in either of his is bullshit.

 

[DDutchguy]

That M2Dave promoting this kind of obnoxious reactionary behavior instead of allowing nuanced discussion is fucking ugly.

It's day 1 and these takes are so hot Scorpion would burn himself. Ahot take thread like this shouldn't be taken seriously by anyone, as we haven't had close to enough time to figure out most things in the game.

 

[Wigy]

Fatal blows are a shit show. Corner jump outs are a shit show. Movement a little too slow. Otherwise really good. Wouldn't have used the tournament standard variations they picked but it's fine

 

[Hostile_18]

So far... best Mortal Kombat ever!

First few chapters of the story mode and already so much better than 9 and X. Character's are saying and doing all the right things, asking the right questions etc. Brilliant.

Loads of characters are easy to play as so going to take a while to choose a main.

Only thing thst needs work is the grind. We've bought the game NRS so let the unlocks come thick and fast because there is loads of them!

I think Scorpion is really good with Misery blade. I mean REAAALLLY good.

Without it he is straight trash

 

[babalook]

Kabal is garbage.
edit: and he got nerfed in the day 1 patch!

Relax, fool. This thread is about initial reactions to whatever people would like to rant about.

I dislike a lot of the tournament variations. I don’t understand why half the moves are locked away from competitive players. Either give us tournament variations that include all the variation moves (not all variation moves in one variation, spread out in multiple variations) OR just allow us to kustomize our variations for ranked and tournaments.

PLUS having to kreate a tournament variation just to practice it is a terrible design. I know it’s not too difficult to make them since they’re in the preset tab, but it’s still annoying especially when the server is having issues.

 

[vegeta]

I think mechanics wise/ early meta, it’s the best I’ve ever seen but some of these tournament variations have to be a sick joke of some kind.. look at subs lol

Dumb question but how can you tell which ones are legit tournament variants? I went into tournament mode and assumed those were it

 

[vegeta]

Also my hot take: Game is new. Only general opinion is that it's fun thus far and the story is good. I won't be making any "this character sucks or is good" judgements when it's day 1 lol no way we've found everything yet at all. Very basic first impressions? sure. Hardcore opinions? Nope. Not yet.

 

[MapleLeef]

Everyone thinks their character is bad and it's hilarious.

 

[BanTheTesters]

I mained deathstroke back then in Injustice 1 lol
Im downloading the game now from psn store, so ye waiting...

Used to watch a TON of your injustice vids back in the day!
Loved em!

 

[nightcrawlers]

hot take: game is beautiful
2nd hot take: I have no idea who I am going to main...
Current list: Erron, D'vorah, Kitana, Skarlet, Johnny, Shao Kahn.. I live in main selection hell

edit: also, frost?

 

[Rizz091]

Game looks and sounds amazing. Really enjoying the gameplay. Got a chance to run through the tutorials. Flawless block timing is mad hard as is the get up option timings, so that will take getting used to.

Played a bit of story and already really having a ton of fun.

 

[Vslayer]

Story was meh
They nerfed Cass I'm pissed
Krypt is a giant lootbox

Still a lot of fun to play tho so I'm not that mad.

I cannot believe This! I may just be the only one who really Liked the story!?LoL

Nah, I prefer the numbered Krypt, this is a bunch of BS. I'm not gonna spend any time in it there's really no use especially when you can earn cosmetics through character towers.

 

[Name v.5.0]

My day one hot take is that uppercuts are too fucking strong. They should be highs not mids.

 

[Ck AeroVoid]

My Day 1 Hottake is that so far, The Tourney stage is Beast and I am loving it sofar. I am worried for the Krypt, however as people are saying it is like warframe, wich is FAR TOO GRINDY for me lol

 

[portent]

Day 1 Hot Take:

We are less than 6 months from the being teased with Injustice 3.

 

[Tony at Home]

Jacqui has alot of potential just going on numbers.

 

[Darth-Nero]

[STORMS]

My realistic hot take:

• I'm on vacation this week so I have more time to play, but...
• I'm gonna be real here and say I'll mainly be a spectator again with this title
• I'm gonna try to knock out story mode soon just to get it done.
• When I do find the time to play this game, I'm likely going to main Kollector.
• And finally, I'm super excited to see everyone else play and learn the game. I'm also excited to start filling up our rankings system with MK11 results.

I have my Kollector's Edition (no pun intended) coming to me in the mail tomorrow... I'm very excited about the bust.

Liu kang is low tier, no range and strings aren't as good as they seem, can also flawless block his +4 string.

Yeah no. Kang is extremely strong.
