Congrats! I'm getting really close, 86% unlocked right now. KOTH is going to be the biggest of my remaining ones to get, the rest are just performing Fatalities with some of the characters. :)
Just read that it's 5 Crushing Blows total, not per match. I'm relieved, but also frustrated. I did far, far more CBs than were required, specifically ones that I knew the game counted after farming them for character towers. So idfk
I'm doing Shao Kahn's 75k tower with the 25 Krushing Blows requirement, so I ran through the survival ladder performing a Krushing Blow in each fight, but the tower says I've performed 0/25 Krushing Blows. What did I do wrong? I just wasted half an hour on this.
Hitting 3 Krushing blows in a round is so goddamn satisfying lol, holy fuck at the damage though
Some just don't register at all for whatever reason. Pretty fun stuff.
It's not just the damage but the fact that they're all just activated by counter. So basically get hit by any of those moves during the startup of an attack and you're fucked.
*raises hand*
I have so much regret getting all the achievements in MK9.
I don't have PSN right now, so all I'm missing are the online achievements in MK11.
Only his uppercut seems to work. A ton of KBs are glitched and don't count.
Waiting for a fix...but probably not happening until the first DLC character patch. Hopefully early next week.
Yeah, but the damage is also an issue. Like Baraka can Krushing Blow on F44 as a counter, but the damage increase is small, so it's only really useful for creating corner combos. Meanwhile virtually all of Geras's Krushing blows do just absurd damage in addition to being activated on counter.
I did uppercut and the backbreaker (activated by having the taunt debuff on the opponent) krushing blows to complete it. Seems like both of those worked.
Oh, wow. Thanks. The patch can't get here soon enough.
Oh for sure, it's a combination of the two for sure. But I wouldn't mind the damage so much if they were hard to pull off, or at least took some skill, because you wouldn't see them used as much.
Ha! You thought all modes counted/all krushing blows counted.
What a foolish assumption dear time wasting player. No we didnt playtest this.
I think the one that pisses me off the most is Sand Trap. 320 damage for a counter hit on a projectile with no travel time that ends with you right next to Geras. It's like NRS wanted to give a hearty fuck you to people trying to zone him.
Ryce check this video out by Max and his way of doing KBs helped me out a lot since its quicker. Sadly I found this out after I've done a lot of my main towers.
That 's me just speculating about patch timing.
The first Red Hood gameplay trailer for Inj2 was shown at Combo Breaker, so them showing Shang Tsung this weekend there would seem likely. A patch next week right after the tourney would also make sense for timing, even if the actual character doesn't drop until later. iirc, the Inj2 new character patches hit a little before the characters actually came out. You may remember better than me though.
Was Red Hood shown before Combo Breaker? I don't remember if they revealed him ahead of time like they did with Shang Tsung.
I'm crossing my fingers for next week
I just looked it up and aside from the initial reveal video, he put a pic on Twitter right before CB '17, but the first actual gameplay footage was shown there, intro'd by Boon.
Safe bet for similar this weekend.

It's funny how some characters struggle to get off even up to 2 KBs due to dumb requirements or just lack of existing, but they gave Geras so many. Like why even nerf (from beta) Scorp's F3,4 KB requirements if you're gonna give Geras so many in one tourney variation? LMAO.
Damn. I gotta ask, how long did it actually take you to do this?
I'm guessing they don't even know they're there. They probably put the match full screen and just wait for their turn.
Yeah I didn't want to say anything but there's no way it's not intentional.
I did it tonight, I just did the uppercut one and reset the match, it seemed faster than doing a whole match.
By the end of a set Geras has broken every single bone in the human body.
Been learning Baraka. So much damage. My bnb right now is 112(or b31), gutted EX, jumpin 1, f4, then either KB gutted or chop chop.
I'm not getting rid of his gutted ability any time soon, but I'm willing to part with his other Marauder preset ability, the one that gives three extra attacks. I've tried his other abilities, but haven't found one that's blowing me away. Any recommendations?

If youre talking about custom variation I would do gutted and war banner bash i guess to get the flag out safely. i would say spine burst but you lose chop chop. Baraka is just so good with anything rly
I'm late to this, but only KBs that aren't tied to a kustom move/kombo will count. Jax's f+2 > grab KB won't register, but his full charge b+2 will, as an example.
Because 1+2 is a shortcut for interactions. You can disable that under controls, iirc. Though it'll probably also disable 1+3 for throw.
It's so satisfying whenever I beat a geras or Erron with shit tier D'vorah lmao.
She's much better than she's given kredit for.

How the hell is Jax supposed to fight a character like Jade? This is so dumb. And why is neutral jump on wake up a viable option? I dont know why I expected more from an NRS game.
You can neutral jump a meaty? o_0
And I don't see the issue with the Jax vs. Jade matchup. How is it any different from Jacqui vs. any zoning character?
LMFAO. I'm going to name my Geras variation "Khiropractor".
1. As someone who plays a ton of fighting games, neutral jump on wakeup isn't solely an Mk11 thing and if it works... Who cares? If you think the opponent is gonna do it then anti air them or walk back. I prefer to use delayed wakeup.
2. Jax tips:
Getting zoned out? You have several options.
A) use your heat up buff command to shoot fireballs (or whatever they're called) when you can but this option is a lot more viable if you're already heated up from attacking at close range.
B) having trouble with getting in? F4 is a good tool to cover a lot of ground after countering your opponent's projectile with your grenade launcher.
C) pound the ground. Condition them to jumping to avoid it, mix that shit up with grenade launcher.
Edit 2: your NRS comment is silly lol. It's not the game's fault you aren't utilizing all options.

1. Not nearly as much in this game as in others for me.
2A. This doesnt work against Jade. She an aura that nullifies projectiles. Getting in and staying there is extremely difficult because of how meter works. She has an air projectile that is plus on block that I have to respect ANY time she jumps into the air.
2B. F4 is a good button but not when it whiffs against a crouching character doing a d3. All this Jade player did was space with Projectiles and anytime I was within F4 range they would whiff d3. After the whiff they would do Nitro Kick and could amplify it to make me respect it if I try to punish. None of Jax moves are far reaching or fast enough to punish the whiff. F3 and F2 are too stuby. B1 is a slow high. Bf2 is too slow. I would get punished for doing it because she recovered too quickly, or we traded. And in the event it did hit, I only put more space between us meaning she gets to go back to playing her game.
2C. Does not work because of what I said earlier. Plus on Block Air Projectiles and her Aura.
I'm not one to really complain about matchups but that one is just plain unfun. I literally cant sustain any offense until I get her to the corner and then If I do she can just use Amplify Kick to switch sides regardless of whether I punish or not.
