Glad the head glitch didn't get a quick fix while I was at work. Haven't used it for everybody though, just the characters I actually use or am interested in trying.

Not before I make my MK theme Sims 4 world.

I thought release check was on by default (and is the first thing everyone suggests turning off immediately). One thing you can always do is put controller inputs ON in training mode so that you can see if your controller is registering your inputs fine. I can't speak to next steps all that much, since I have an Xbox Elite controller and find the dpad perfectly fine...but I believe it's a slightly different dpad.
I'm going to check. When I get home.

On xbox at least, it's really not bad at all. I completed on the 2nd try with randoms. As long as the players not active in the fight are using their assists when they are up (and not at dumb times like something that pushes Scorpion out of a combo). That said, not sure if all four platforms are at parity, as I haven't been following that conversation.

I beat the Scorpion tower with some buddies last night, proper use of powerups is key. We were saving the Shinnok flick and the fart gas for when scorpion would start a combo and it was fairly simple. The only thing that gave us issues were the fire vortexes when he gets near the end of his life bar.

How can they ban someone for abusing a glitch? The most they'll do is roll it back so we'll have to get it the traditional way. I just went through and did it, easy.

Where is the area that unlocks after you opened the character chests? It showed you but I wasn't paying attention. I just used the bug to open them all, if they want to ban me so be it I guess.

Sounds good - and don't feel too bad. It's weird how you're taught in most towers to use the right analog stick for tags and assists, but when it's a non-tag in/tag-out group match, all of a sudden it's mapped to face buttons. The fact that those prompts go away out of Theatre view, which itself seems kind of pointless, makes it so it's hard to blame players jumping in for the first time for not understanding how the battles work. Not to mention that it's another fight that mostly relies on a mechanic that takes the game away from its core strengths!

That Scorpion tower boss fight was pretty fun.

Its not that hard when everybody is using their skills they can use as spectators.

Was actually surprised that i managed as first player with my Skarlet to get him down to 20% life.

The whole time I tried doing this Scorpion battle with one other friend. And we would always get him past half health. For some reason I thought it was only two people at the most.

Wow what a difference three people made.

The two extra assists make a difference. Managed to get Scorpion all the way down to critical. I was the first one up too lol.
