Would you like MKX to have a Trials mode ?

Regarding the whole i like figuring out stuff myself response, I would answer that within 2 days maximum, people on forums like this one come up with stuff that is considered BnB or optimum usually. I like discovering things for myself as well but if say i came up with a 30% and someone else came up with a 40% i would always use the 40% because it is the more effective option. The fact that you come to TYM means that you are most likely to be like me in that regard as well.

Fuck efficacy, I'm all about flash and style.

Sorry for the quality. iPhone video. Also, I'm now realizing this has nothing at all to do with this topic but the squirrels won't let me stop.

That is an efficient combo too though

 

[Konqrr]

Bullshit.

Body Daigo free or gtfo.

lol because trials have everything to do with winning at the highest level.

Yeah, but the funny thing is, my priority is pulling off flashy stuff more so than winning haha. I feel a lot better with landing a clean, impressive combo and losing than I do with zoning safely and winning. Guess I'm not tournament material haha.

I live in an apartment complex with think walls.

Is that where everybody lives in one big room and just pretends they can't see each other?

If 1 frame links are cake for you. you should be destroying people with even just a basic understanding of fundamentals.

This made my morning.

Plus, the stick is annoyingly loud making it impossible to use late at night without my neighbors complaining.

I remember certain Soul Calibur player complaining about that. He solved the issue by wrapping the stick itself with thick thread I think.
He however did that not because of neighbours complaining but because noises were the reason people he played offline with were ducking every single command throw he tried to pull off lol.
Well, guess stuff like ↓↑↓↑←→→→ B+G must be really noisy

Gotta love autocorrect haha. Probably missed the space key and typed "thinb."

If that was true, Desk would be the unthreatened lord and master of fighting games.

Challenge Tower was pretty much a trial mode, more or less. But I woundnt mind if they added it.

Not really.

At no point in actual gameplay do I ever lose my limbs or throw my head at my opponent. Challenge Tower is not fun IN ANY WAY, and I pray they get rid of it. STAR Labs was actually even worse. I hated playing that mode. It felt like work more than a game. I don't want to be avoiding lasers with a fucking cat when I could be playing the ACTUAL GAME. It's a complete waste of time.

I've been saying MK needs a Street Fighter/Marvel-like combo trial mode for quite some time now. It's actually fun and helps you learn how combos work for each character. It's a great way to get a feeling of how each character plays and who fits best with your playstyle.

Add combo trial mode to MKX, please NRS.

KOF trial mode made me shit my pant, it's way more difficult than SF4's. just saying.
and lol @do 1 frame link and you can body Daigo.

so i guess if you are a combo master that means you can beat top players.

I agree...

I say they should have a Survival mode like Capcom Vs SNK 2

I agree. The challenge tower was 90% annoying nonsense. While I was playing it I was just wishing it was over so I can move on and play the actual game. I'm a completionist so I reluctantly did it anyway.

There were a few fun ones though. Ermac vs the 3 Goro's was enjoyable.

The ones that involved actually PLAYING MORTAL KOMBAT were fun, I agree.

There's definitely a way to make Challenge Tower enjoyable. I would suggest having a challenge where you have to complete a certain combo to finish it, a few where you have to anti-air someone a certain amount of times, tech 3 throws....things of that nature. Do it for all characters and have every challenge be something that is PART OF ACTUAL GAMEPLAY. Sort of like Dojo mode in KI (which is incredible, but only for Jago) but do it for every character in the game.

- Combo challenges
- Anti-air challenges
- Throw tech challenges
- Learning how armored moves work
- Air to air attacks

You get the idea. Like you said, I'm also a completionist, so I too feel the need to go through this shit. When I'm sitting there trying to throw my fucking head at someone to do damage it's not fun, it's just frustrating.
