What's new

Who are you picking up? Who are you dropping? Who's getting more work?

Tanno

The Fantasy is the Reality of the Mind
Not dropping GM Sub Zero, UB Sub Zero, TG Raiden and Tarkatan Alien. Planning to get the following for some reasons:

Fujin: If they get him in KP3, he'll be my next main.
Balanced Kenshi and Konjurer Alien: Need them for Ermac's mid-air trolling.

Working on GM Sub Zero since they added faster pokes (1 and D1).

AND F1
 
SF Sonya is pretty much untouched. I mean, more startup on her 50/50- which doesn't even matter in this variation because her whole shtick is keeping you in block because a homing missile is out.

Also, SF Sonya is a zoner, so indirectly buffed by the nerfs to run and stamina.


I will probably be checking out Konjurer Alien and Master of Storms Raiden.

Terrible times breed terrible things, my lord.
Picking up:

Gears of War 4
Kenshi - All 3 variations.
Goro - All 3 variations
Shinnok - maybe.

Putting in dat Work like:

Kano. I want to level up this dude along with my poor skills so badly. I could dig my nails deep in my palms & yell like Trunks from dbz. So sincere right now. So sincere.

Dropping.

Nobody. Maybe MKXL if Gears is amazing.

Acidic Alien, Venomous D'Vorah

Picking Up:
Impostor Shinnok

Smoke, Sun God Kotal
 
Why would anyone drop Dvorah shes still amazing! She has one of the best footsies in this game. Especially i love how ex spray now keeps you at neutral on block vs dvorahs f2, d4 range. Character is less braindead but still really good!

I'm waiting for someone to say they're picking up LF. I'll be interested to see if anyone wants to.

I agree, but a year has passed and I just need a fresh air, still continue playing with her but a little less now.

I was going to say dropping the game but who am I kidding. I've been trying to quit this game for months but I keep coming back. I'll keep playing Stunt Double and Fisticuffs, with no armored launcher I've been able to meter manage better, I kinda like it. Not feeling the nerf hammer as much with Johnny that everybody else on the JC forums are crying about but I'm also a scrub.

You also don't play A-List from the looks of things and he got hit the hardest.

Dropping: No one. Bone Shaper will still be my main.

Picking Up: Necromancer. Love this variation.

more Work: I've been procrastinating on learning predator lol
 

SM StarGazer

The voice of reason in a Sea of Salt
Dropping: Shirai Ryu. Brawler. Shotgun.

Picking up: no one.

Working on/ Fine tuning: Sektor, Ancestral, Displacer, Flame Fist, Cybernetic, Unbreakable, Cyromancer, Dragon's Breath.

Continuing to main: Kitana in every variation. Best ALL AROUND character. Damn it feels good t9 be a loyalist, or specialist.

Mournful...there I've warned you
 

Renzokuken

Gay Hawkeye
Dropping: None, lol, if anything, Kung Jin feels more complete with all of his variations viable now (shoutouts to NRS for giving Ancestral some love. I should've had more faith in you guys).

Picking up: KW Goro and Balanced Kenshi

Picking Up​
I been picking up this game again for the past week or so. I had put it down for a couple months, but I'm back on the wagon.
Aaaaannnnd MAYBE Goro or Tanya... I doubt it though.

Dropping​
Not really dropping anyone, but Kotal is definitely going to be getting a lot less love from me.

Sticking with​
Tremor - metallic
F/T - ruthless
Prettyface

Getting more work​
My Killer will probably be getting a lot more work, that damage is unbelievable, and with all the run cancel nerfs to my F/T and Tremor, it seems like a good time to practice some killer stance and unblockable cancels.

I'm waiting for someone to say they're picking up LF. I'll be interested to see if anyone wants to.
Yo, I'm not new to leatherface, but I took some time off from MKX and I'll be returning with a more LF focus... so it's kinda like someone new picking him up.
Also I'm considering replacing my killer with butcher if someone can give me 3 good reasons now... I used to like him cause he was better for rushing down zoners, but I just don't know anymore. And I suck at command grabs unless I'm on the p1 side... my thumb just doesn't work right going the other way.

Butcher sucks against zoners. HOWEVER! is fantastic against characters who want to be playing neutral and being in your face. He can make every string +2 on block (with a gap but gaps do not matter nearly as much considering the nerf to armored launchers.) he can be frustrating for people when after every string you get a D3 check. And canceling pokes into mallet slam is great because it makes your pokes plus (more gaps but still) he is tons of fun and lastly, best brutal in the game.

And considering your existing line up, you don't exactly have trouble with zoning all too much so why the hell not yea?

Sub and kotal FTW
Contemplating dropping cryo sub. He's been my main since the beginning, but the patch changed him so much that he almost feels like a different character. If I wanted to use command grabs I would have kept using goro or commando Kano. If I don't drop him I have to completely re work hoe I play.

I've used sun god kotal, and ravenous mileena since the games release. I'm gonna keep it up with those two and possibly actually use gm sub now.
