Thanks, if you are on PS4 add me.
Eatin-Air-Gobot (previously Pei-Yu)
Just curious, was this in ranked or non-ranked? Sounds like a great time.
Non-ranked, because I'm Kasual as all hell. But yeah, total blast!
what the hell?! It shows we're friends already lmao. My psn is the same as here
But yeah I'm on ps4; eventually want to double dip the PC ver since I recently upgraded my PC...
I'll take ragequit punishments over all that by far (I hate having my points stolen by some salty loser). Those things we didnt have in IJ2 and MKX either but my memory might be failing me. I dont want to talk out of my rear and too lazy to Google right now. I need to hop on and lab Cetrion so i can get online and starting whinning bout how bad I'm geting bodied
I don't think they were, and it's just "NRS things" at this point. But don't get me wrong, I despise not getting my deserved points. Some fighting games only punish the quitter while still not actually giving the winner their rightful points :/
I'm trying to transition fom dbfz back into NRS world. But I dont understand-- I see a combo video for Cetrion and it shows "Spring Cleaning variation ". I need to go create this variation? fuuu I just want to go online and play with people. But I want to know a bnb combo first
For whatever reason the default variations are not the tournament variations. If you go in to Kustomize, select Cetrion and one of the loadouts then go to Abilities. If you hit Square (PS4)/X (Xbox) you'll bring up some of the presets they have, the ones with the trophy next to them are the tournament variations.
Thanks! That is so weird. That is definitely new. In MKX you just selected from 2 choices from what I recall and you were good.
Yeah, they experimented with new abilities in IJ2 so they kind of went half-way between MKX and IJ2 with this one. I just don't get why the two default variations aren't the tournament ones.
3 choices! I'd rather that system, I really hate how the variations are in this so so much.
Sure, but I wasn't talking about mid-match. I was talking about when you get matched up with someone and you're determining if you're going to accept the match (or being forced into it in the case of ranked).
Cool, I will probably start playing casual matches next week.
Fighting Geras is like fighting a train. Dude does not stop. I'm getting my bearings with him, but once he gets right up in my salad, it's still deucedly hard to extricate myself from his giant metal fist.
Fighting Geras is the most nail-biting experience because getting hit by a single stray sand trap means over a third of your health just vanishes.
Its the best fatal blow in the game. Damn near instant from full screen. If you do anything but block you're dead.
11 frames point-blank (fastest in the game), over 20 full screen (Slower, but still fast).
You can duck under it, but it's still ridiculous.
Yeah I think it's the fastest one as long as it's not full screen (even then it's still faster than a lot of them)
Sonic Fox's tier list. He's the first one brave enough to appropriately place Sub Zero IMO, scrubs think he's God on earth but truth is once you fight someone that can fuzzy guard his gimmick he's left with a pitiful neutral and mediocre damage. Thin Ice is the only viable variation and as long as you can react to the slide, he has literally nothing else of value.

So as long as you're as good as SonicFox then Sub Zero sucks. Glad we figured that out.
DJT dropped him mid Summit for Baraka because he couldn't do shit. Sub Zero won't get results in higher level play, accept it or not it doesn't really matter for a guy like you or me lol. Tier lists only matter for the 1%.
He's also one of the few giving a lot of praise to Raiden. Rewind, who mained him in MKX thinks he's shit. PL is another one that keeps praising Raiden but I honestly don't know how much weight his opinion has after several years of failures in tournament play.
I'm really interest to see someone doing well with him because from all the footage I saw so far, I just can't see doing well against pretty much half the cast. More surprises will come at Combo Breaker and I really hope he's one of them, Raiden deserves better.

So after entering a competitive KOTH with a friend and a friend of his and getting destroyed I realized I haven't even touched the Tournament variations.
I basically have one character I can use with a tournament variation so I need practice.
EDIT: How big is Geras' jump hitbox? Goddamn.

I mean... Even with that, would you really put Sub below Shao Kahn?
Yeah, apparently there's a limited amount so it'll start giving augments after that.
Lame. I just want maskless Kitana and then I can retire from the shrine for a bit
As far as everything I know, not at all. But with recent discoveries some players are saying Shao Khan is way better than they thought due to a hit confirmable mid, that takes quite a bit of practice, making him way better in the neutral. I think it was Reo that made that public and Sonic Fox agreed it changes everything.

As until now the only famous player using Shao Khan was Forever King and he was using mostly the worse variation and had no idea about this, it's possible he might lab him again, but since he's a Geras main now that would be pointless. This is another character that could surprise us at Combo Breaker due to being so underrated by the community until now.
I promised myself I'd never do another character tower but I'm really loving Baraka and want his stuff, so here I am on stage 2, the calm before the storm. I'm really not looking forward to doing those requirements again.
And where's my damn heads? I've not had a single one unlock and I've played a fuck ton.

Wait, that attack is actually hit confirmable that late? Well shit. That's huge.
That's what tier lists are about. How the top 100 players do. There are always scrub killer characters but often they don't do as well against stronger players who understand defense and offense in the game at the top level. And as matchups develop things that were very strong get figured out. So.a strong 50/50 on day one becomes mundane by month two. Sub and Scorpion are the Ryu and Ken of MK so it's a matvhup most dedicated players will have figured out and will become more even or advantageous with time.
I mean yeah
Maximilian Dood made a video about this basically saying tier list only matter to high level players for most people it doesn't fucking matter
Hell yeah, Jax top tier!
i've been using shao kahn on the side but i didn't know you could cancel that button THAT late
holy shit, this is a game changer

I didn't either! And after trying it in training mode... This is something some crazy people will definitely be able to consistently hit confirm. It's not that demanding, you can definitely do it on reaction, it just takes absurd nerves and discipline to safely do in an actual match.
