Mortal Kombat

[kindred osprey]

Also...
Call me shallow or something
But I really miss MK9 outfits

X and 11 had some pretty good and cool skins, and they don't need to go as far as MK9 that had the girls basically naked
But I do miss at least a bit of horny
In 11, EVERYONE has everything covered

[subtle oyster]

MK9 kitana and Mileena outfits are something else

[kindred osprey]

Flesh Pits

Love it

Lmfao

[tough rock]

[kindred osprey]

But cmon
Am I that wrong?
MK9 and 11 are completely opposite extremes
And I'd rather have something leaning more towards 9 without being completely like it
I mean, maybe a bit more horni than X would already be great to me

[tough rock]

Teenage me loved the MK9 outfits. Especially Sonya's and Jade's

But fast forward 10 years and I love the fact Kitana Jade and Mileena can be as bad as looking and iconic as Scorpion Sub Zero and Liu Kang without looking like strippers.

[gritty marlin]

i just like good looking designs. I dont mind horny if it's tasteful, if that makes sense. If you're gonna show skin, curves, figure, whatever, that's fine. But make it look good and dont just mindlessly do it

like mk12 kitana is the FIRST time i've ever considered playing the character bc i cant get over how good her design is

or how much i LOVE sf6 cammy's design. it's freaking amazing and fitting

[subtle oyster]

@light wren should I start playing Cassie or Johnny?

[light wren]

I think you’re more of a Johnny person than a Cassie one

[subtle oyster]

Why

[light wren]

Because you’re a dumbass like him

[subtle oyster]

That’s not nice

[light wren]

Yeah I know I’m sorry

[gritty marlin]

Dang i played both of those chars a lot

I actually "mained" Cassie for a little while tho

B2

[subtle oyster]

I have small amounts of experience with both

[glad ravine]

I think it’s because Cassie is trip’s main and he doesn’t want you using her

[subtle oyster]

I’ll beat his ass with her

Kneecapping is so good

[glad ravine]

Trip likes the waifus - chun, Mary, cassie

[subtle oyster]

Trip is a scrub

[subtle oyster]

I’m gonna be getting random d2’s with Johnny No Mids

@gritty marlin I didn’t realize his stand 2 was plus 3 on block lmfao

[light wren]

Lies

[subtle oyster]

Ur trash

[light wren]

*You’re

[tough rock]

It'd be so much better if it was a low

[subtle oyster]

It would be broken as a low

It’s already amazing

Either way it hits neutral ducking so her zoning is really good

[tough rock]

Isn't that her only launcher too?

[subtle oyster]

Yeah or you can do her energy burst but it’s not as good

[gritty marlin]

https://vxtwitter.com/TQT1995/status/1670750515829829636?t=zYHIn4HezymUMTtRi-HX-Q&s=19

[tough rock]

I almost never saw TNT Erron. Even after they butchered his rifle stance

[light wren]

I like energy burst unbreakable damage

[tough rock]

So assuming Kabal isn't in MK1, who's gonna break the most rules of MK1?

[subtle oyster]

So far Kenshi

[light wren]

Kotal khan

[subtle oyster]

If he’s in it then yeah

Hopefully not tho. He’s been a gimmick for two straight games

[light wren]

I hope reptile has vomit puddle to troll ppl into dps overtime chip dmg kill

Ex only though

[subtle oyster]

Might get MK11 on PS5 so @light wren will shut the fuck up

[light wren]

Uhh

[glad ravine]

SF6 harder than MK? https://twitter.com/kitana_prime/status/1670620738225680386?s=21

KP (@Kitana_Prime)

SF6 is really hard, and I'm no longer having fun. There's good info out there, Cammy is clearly good, but I'm just very stagnant and not really improving at all. Gonna just put it down for now. I'll try again after the MK stress test.

[subtle oyster]

Considering the multiple NRS players who are picking up the game and placing high in tourneys should tell you otherwise. Kitana Prime is ass

Outside of z inputs and qc inputs

The competition is really high in SF so many great players especially the Asians

[light wren]

Kombat’s luke goes hard

I like KP but he’s not that great

Like I’d watch him play mk11 ranked and lose to certain crackhead players

Yknow which ones

[subtle oyster]

Sonic, Kombat, AFoxyGrampa, Semiij are all kicking ass

[light wren]

Facts

Ninja killa

Too

[subtle oyster]

If you’re playing on a PS5 controller and you’re not used to z inputs then I don’t blame you for thinking it’s hard cause the game was never designed to be played on that

The people who call NRS games super easy are the ones who never play it

[light wren]

You need that pink adapter thingy

To use a ds4 on the ps5

[subtle oyster]

It has input lag on it

Right

[light wren]

I have no idea

I dont think you can use a ps4 controller on ps5 unless it’s a ps4 game which is wack asf

[subtle oyster]

Tweedy was saying it has input lag cause he prefers the Xbox controller

And uses it

[light wren]

Oh yeah I do think the ps5 controllers do have input lag

[subtle oyster]

The adapter

[light wren]

That idk I don’t think it does

[subtle oyster]

Converter thing

[light wren]

I’ve seen ppl use it

And they ain’t complaining

Tweedy a lil bitch that’s why

💀

[subtle oyster]

They don’t have one for PS5 yet tho right

[light wren]

I think u can use it on anything

[subtle oyster]

Really? He seems laid back

Forgot about Rewind too

Earlier

[light wren]

Idk he be talking shit on twitter or after he loses a tourney he’d be petty

[subtle oyster]

I thought they are still developing it for PS5 games on PS5

[subtle oyster]

I didn’t know that

[light wren]

Idk man you’re scaring me

[subtle oyster]

I’ll check mine out for when I get MK on PS5

I gotta get my shit ready for September

[light wren]

Bet lmk

[subtle oyster]

No way I can do d1 cmd grab on PS5 controller like I can on Xbox

[tough rock]

MK is the easiest fighting game to learn imo

But it also has the least amount of transferable knowledge to other fighting games

[subtle oyster]

I feel like Cetrion is way harder to play than JP

[gritty marlin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a41Xq7_JFs

[subtle oyster]

God I hope I get picked for the stress test tomorrow

[glad ravine]

Hope you get it bro. No one deserves it more than you

[subtle oyster]

I don’t really deserve it tho

[subtle oyster]

The top 10 are nuts

[urban anvil]

Thinking ab buying Injustice 2 on pc

[subtle oyster]

I’d play it with you if I played injustice

[urban anvil]

Rn on steam it’s like $5

Nvm not anymore

[light wren]

Play dbfz with me bro

Nice little delay base netcode

Great time

[tough rock]

If you have Playstation i think its either dirt cheap or free right now

[tough rock]

Cetrion feels harder because she has like no combo damage or juggles

She makes up for it in absolutely cracked zoning and neutral

[urban anvil]

I do have Injustice 2 on ps4 no ps plus tho

[tough rock]

At least there's single player content

[subtle oyster]

She’s punishable on a lot of stuff at high level

The damage is fine

[subtle oyster]

My wavedashes are somewhat intact on a PS5 controller which is good

I got a copy of the base edition on PS plus or PS gold whatever it’s called

[subtle oyster]

Should be adequate to teebag @light wren

Content creators are starting to receive their invite

[subtle oyster]

They are delaying the stress test invites to Friday and content creators are deleting their tweets regarding their invite. Probably going to be content creators only

[light wren]

I’m sorry you didn’t get in

I think nrs realized how garbage you are and decided to skip you:/

Because I got one so

||not really||

[subtle oyster]

I accepted that I’m not getting in long ago Trip. I posted this for the others

[glad ravine]

If they’re only giving invites to content creators, that’s false advertisement

[subtle oyster]

They said it would be invite only

[glad ravine]

You should have started a MK channel. You would have been better than Rooflemonger

[subtle oyster]

Nah I’m trash

My content would consist of pleading for Jacqui Briggs nerfs

I will say this about roofle @glad ravine his single character guides suck but his who to main videos aren’t terrible especially for beginners

They are brief enough for me to give the video a watch but I wouldn’t take a character guide from him especially now that I understand fighting games better

[glad ravine]

It’s easy talking points since you don’t have to go in depth. It is a lot of work though if it’s a lot of characters but that’s roofle’s bread n butter. Tons of breadth with zero depth

[subtle oyster]

Yeah and he releases those videos on like day 1 of the game so it’s impossible for anyone to make an in depth guide for every character

But if you’re at work waiting to play the game and want a brief description then go for it

[glad ravine]

He has to do it on day1 cause that’s how he will get the views

[subtle oyster]

Yeah it’s a race for content

If I want ABC character tech I’m gonna find a good player and watch them

Cause they won’t release a video for weeks

Having said that,

Some in depth guides are terrible for beginners so having something brief like that to build on isn’t so bad for them. For someone like you, it makes no sense to watch it

The content creator who is a real piece of shit is TruUnderdawg

Sub zero looks busted from everything I’ve seen so far

Mfer gonna control neutral with 1000 different combo launchers

[tough rock]

Completely justified imo

[tough rock]

I streamed this on PS plus and offline it is literally unplayable for me imo.

Input delay offline is terrible

You know it's bad when the character select and the intros lag

[subtle oyster]

Damn ):

[tough rock]

I'll download it and play it if you want

[subtle oyster]

Yeah I’ll fire it up on PS5 if you wanna play

I’m just at work rn and have a date later so today isn’t super good

[tough rock]

Just ping me whenever. I'll have the apartment to myself this upcoming weekend and should be free

SHOULD

And I'm gonna record some tech that @glad ravine and any non NRS fg player is gonna have to get used to if they pick up MK1

[subtle oyster]

Okay cool. Assuming we don’t get the stress test but hopefully so

Didn't apply lol. Gonna be a heavy Final Fantasy 16 weekend for me lol

@subtle oyster

Which characters are available?

[subtle oyster]

Likely just the ones in the initial build

[glad ravine]

Kitana, kenshi, sub, Liu

[subtle oyster]

But not confirmed yet

Yeah

[gritty marlin]

likely kitana liu kenshi and sub with sonya kano and jax assists

[glad ravine]

You won’t miss much. You can watch the streams

It starts today?

[gritty marlin]

tomorrow 10 am for me

[subtle oyster]

Tomorrow at 11 EST for everyone

[subtle oyster]

I’ll miss the joy others get to feel as I watch alone in a dark room

[glad ravine]

Looks similar to mk11 to me with added kameos

Ceo starts tomorrow as well

[subtle oyster]

Looks like they took aspects from 9, X, and 11 in this one

With kameos

[glad ravine]

You like gameplay?

From what was shown?

[subtle oyster]

From what I’ve seen so far it has all the aspects that I wanted from each game

I feel a lot better about the kameos

[glad ravine]

Which are?

Which streamer are you gonna watch?

[subtle oyster]

No variation system in 9 so more abilities per character. Tons of different and fun combo routes in X. Better neutral/footsies in 11 but more offensive tools for pressure and combos. No breakaway but breaker.

Literally everything that I said they should do and they did it

[gritty marlin]

ppl who played it compared it the most to mk9

[subtle oyster]

MK9 had a lot of potential and is better than X imo

Movement and combo routes look better in this game tho

@gritty marlin are you playing Kitana?

[subtle oyster]

Probably multiple to see who is playing which character

[glad ravine]

Who will max dood play?

[subtle oyster]

I’m gonna guess sub zero but idk for sure

[glad ravine]

Who will roofle play?

[subtle oyster]

No idea. Not watching Roofle tho

[glad ravine]

Max will try sub and kenshi I bet

[subtle oyster]

Ketchup and Mustard will make great content

I wanna watch different characters tho

[gritty marlin]

for the first time in my life....

[subtle oyster]

Probably some pro players mainly cause they’ll be playing at a higher level

[glad ravine]

You can watch trueunderdawggaming

[subtle oyster]

Kill me

[glad ravine]

I searched mk1 and he has a video saying fans hate gameplay

[subtle oyster]

TrueUnderdawg posts nothing but clickbait bullshit cause he’s not good enough to get views or interesting enough either. He kept posting videos in MK11 like REPTILE CONFIRMED FOR DLC like just straight lies

He steals content from other players and uses it

Literally used someone’s Sub Zero guide and just did audio over it

Then that guy got pissed off and called him out and he deleted it

[glad ravine]

Did you buddy get in the stress test?

[subtle oyster]

Nah and he’s busy this weekend

[glad ravine]

[tough rock]

I'll mod abuse anyone who posts True Underdog videos on this channel

[subtle oyster]

Good mod

[tough rock]

This also reminds to to post the beginners guide to NRS games

[subtle oyster]

It’s pretty simple idk if it’s worth the headache

[tough rock]

Oh this isn't a prolonged guide lol. Just the massive differences between literally every other 2d fighter and NRS games

[subtle oyster]

Dial a combo strings and duckable highs pretty much

Block button

Auto shimmy’s

[tough rock]

You forgot one crucial thing

Recovery frames on whiff

@glad ravine this is how I think MK1 is gonna screw with non NRS players.

[subtle oyster]

Yeah it’s easier to whiff punish in 11. More similar to Tekken

[tough rock]

Take a look at the bottom left side of the screen at my input history.

I do Kano's ball (Blanka Ball for all intent and purpose). Take a look at how long it took for Kano to mash a D1 poke after it whiff (a couch LP in SF terms)

And pokes don't lead into guaranteed full combos either

[subtle oyster]

D4’s can be special canceled

Not d1’s tho

[tough rock]

But it isn't a guaranteed combo

I'm literally lobbing this now instead of playing ff16 for whatever reason

[light wren]

What are the button layouts I know 1 is square and 2 is triangle is circle 3 and x is 4?

I genuinely get confused

[tough rock]

X is 3 O is 4

[glad ravine]

Mk 1 in 90 min

[subtle oyster]

The guys who signed up on 10 different emails and got multiple codes to sell are pieces of shit

@gritty marlin clip some cool combos for me brotha

[gritty marlin]

"am" streaming if u wanna ask anything directly

[subtle oyster]

On twitch or what

Or discord

[gritty marlin]

ye twitch.tv/dmelton_

[subtle oyster]

Okay

[glad ravine]

Kitana has a butt attack move lol

[subtle oyster]

Always has

[glad ravine]

Mk1 stress test has online or no?

[subtle oyster]

Online and towers

Towers are against the CPU against various opponents

[glad ravine]

Kameo is just R1 with cooldown?

[subtle oyster]

I believe R1 and a direction

Special moves are the same quarter circle, back forward movements etc

I hear the timing window for combos is more strict

Liu looks OD

[glad ravine]

Ninja killa is a good stream?

SonicFox just playing against cpu

[subtle oyster]

Ninja Killa is the best Liu player

By a mile

Playing against CPU is the best way to lab cause you can pause the game and look at moves and frame data

Ninja is currently playing against another pro player

[glad ravine]

That’s boring to watch (cpu fights)

[subtle oyster]

You might like TweedyMK

I think he’s playing Kenshi online

I’m watching Ninja cause I want Liu gameplay

[glad ravine]

Breaker is just using kameo?

[subtle oyster]

Breaker is kameo but it burns all of your meter and all of your kameo meter

You need 3 bars of meter and kameo meter for it

[glad ravine]

Sonya best kameo?

[subtle oyster]

Sonya looks to be the easiest kameo not necessarily the best

At least for combos

[glad ravine]

Gameplay has injustice zoning vibes

[subtle oyster]

Liu can zone like a mfer

[subtle oyster]

There’s gonna be a shitload of counter zoners they just aren’t in this build

Like Scorpion

It makes the mind game, zoning, neutral really intense

Mileena also

[glad ravine]

Ninja killa teabagged his opponent

[subtle oyster]

It was King Gambler

He’s another pro player and he’s a friend

It was supposed to be a joke

Now he’s fighting another pro lol

Content creators definitely got priority

Liu looks so strong lmao

[glad ravine]

He teabagged another opponent

This guy toxic

Ninjakilla casually doing 48% combos now

[subtle oyster]

Sonya the best kameo for combos

You can flawless block the ending on strings again to punish

[light wren]

Sub zero bouta be mad scrubby bro

What is that punching projectile bro💀

Why dragon already cooking hard asf in the lab with everyone already? 😂😂😂

[light wren]

Yeah you right😂

[subtle oyster]

Yeah he helped design the game. He’s gonna be favored in the first tourney

Also probably the reason why all the scrub shit from 11 is gone now

[subtle oyster]

@gritty marlin how is kitana coming?

[last needle]

Don’t testers / designers get banned in tourney ? 😂

[gritty marlin]

she's quite cool

i havent tried jax assist yet

[subtle oyster]

I hear she has a lot of setups. Looks more complicated than Liu and Sub

[gritty marlin]

sub felt easy to pickup

didnt try liu or kenshi

[subtle oyster]

Liu is gonna be easy

[subtle oyster]

Guess I’m gonna grind MK11 till September

[light wren]

Fucking sick

[glad ravine]

Mk1 has decided to go for the big combo route, pleasing people such as max dood and sonic fox and anime fighter players

[sterile scarab]

I remember seeing a unblockable

[subtle oyster]

MK usually has big combos

MK11 was the exception

[light wren]

I’m glad they added assists that have many versions unlike dbfz that limits it

[subtle oyster]

I haven’t seen much out of Jax but Sonic was using the shit out of Kano for pressure and Ninja was kicking ass with Sonya

[light wren]

I was hoping they wouldn’t have a block button and keep it traditional so mix can be cursed asf

[subtle oyster]

It’s better than the previous variation system so you can use the character that you wanna use with way more special moves and shitloads of kameo options

[subtle oyster]

Wait for injustice

Their overhead high mid low system is optimized for the block button imo

[light wren]

Yeah you right

[subtle oyster]

But I wouldn’t mind trying it out without a block button

[subtle oyster]

Instead of giving out more codes via the people who signed up, they instead decided to drop them in streamer’s streams

[glad ravine]

Lame

I’m hearing people saying movement is too slow in MK1. Do you agree with this? Max said this in his stream as well. Seems like he’s not too excited about it but I don’t think he’s a real fan of nrs anyways

[north mango]

The slow paced battle began in MK11, so I don't know how the players haven't gotten used to it by now

[tough rock]

People are still mad there isn't a run button like in MKX.

Think of it as Ken's dash but universal and you could do after any launcher or know down for either ridiculous corner combos or pressure. With no attacks or enhanced special moves

Those MKX dash corner combos were fun to do but absolutely sucked being on the receiving end of.

You could literally put your controller down for almost 10 seconds if you're getting him by one

[glad ravine]

Sounds like that’s what max is a fan of

[vague creek]

Max was an MvC player. Of course he loved the bombos

What characters were available for the stress test?

[kindred osprey]

Man, I'm watching a bit of the stress test now
And Kenshi looks KOOL

I don't think he's ever been so stylish before

Do we know how or when he'll lose his eyes this time?

[glad ravine]

Kitana kenshi sub and Liu Kang with Sonya jax Kano kameos

[vague creek]

Damn

[glad ravine]

Mk1 has the bombos

[subtle oyster]

It’s about the same pace as 11 and X fanboys will complain. That being said, 11 was slower in the beta than it was at launch and they will likely speed it up a tad at launch

If SonicFox loves the neutral in this game then I think that’s better than what others think

Also Ninjakilla said the game is amazing but he hopes they speed the walk speed up a tad which they did in 11 at launch

Neutral based gameplay is better than sprint up and 50/50

Max also said a lot of the gameplay feels fine but some moves would be better sped up a tad

[gritty marlin]

I think they will adjust the movement come launch. Maybe even the preorder beta

I will say. I'm not gonna play the beta as much as I'd like this weekend because i can't change my freaking controls man 😭😭😭 it's bothering me too much

[glad ravine]

Lol I just viewed roofle’s stream and he’s playing the mk1 stress test and dude is such a scrub. He’s using Kitana and getting bodied and he’s making excuses. He just said, if he wanted to win, he would have used Liu Kang

Also complained his kameos aren’t coming out lol

His Kitana gameplay is spamming fan projectiles

[light wren]

He trash at every fighting game 💀

He got a stress code just to get washed

[subtle oyster]

Did he mean it like as in Kitana sucks or that she is too complicated for him to use?

@glad ravine

Cause prob the best player in EU is kicking ass with her

But Liu seems more straightforward

I think she gets crazy plus frames on some EX moves which can be utilized with Kano’s kameo for even more plus frame pressure

She’s typically a better zoner than Liu but Liu’s zoning looks kinda crazy in this

[tough rock]

Liu's always been straight forward imo. Always has insane pressure, zoning and frame traps ever since MK9

Kitana went from like top 3 in MKX to mid tier MK11 and changes too much game from game

I'd be playing Liu and Kenshi if I had access

[glad ravine]

Nah he’s just complaining cause he’s a scrub

[kindred osprey]

i love the mkx route

[light wren]

All I know is that imma struggle hard asf meter burning

It’s the same as mkx

So I’m fucked

Unless I’m wrong

[subtle oyster]

I think it’s like MKX yeah

I’d be playing Liu this weekend and maybe Sub Zero. If I had more time I’d lab Kenshi but with only one weekend I’d be playing Liu

[kindred osprey]

i believe mkx was holding it pre emptively

mkx was way more lenient w the timing

[subtle oyster]

Sub zero looks really beginner friendly

Has a shitload of tools easy to implement

[light wren]

Imma go cry

[subtle oyster]

You’ll get it. I think the hardest thing is gonna be when to time the kameo

Poke system in this game is gonna let me be able to play more characters and have fun

[subtle oyster]

https://streamable.com/luf6cn

First ever game with Erron Black and I get one of these sub zero players

So I hit him with bullshit right back sry not sry

[kindred osprey]

Clueless sub zero players smh

[subtle oyster]

Slide then immediate d2 lol so excited for MK1

I have a feeling MK1 net code is gonna be the worst out of all the next gen games

[subtle oyster]

The amount of sweat you need to beat air has Kabal is insane

Character is so broken

[subtle oyster]

Erron Black is so much fun to play. If he had better tools to punish scrub shit like Scorpion’s death spin and joker’s kapow then I’d play him way more

[subtle oyster]

https://streamable.com/61gtmx

Fundamental players are gonna be eating good come september

That man is gonna be combo'd into 50%

Probably could have punished that with his back 2 string but I’m fucked up and having fun

[subtle oyster]

Not a bad days work with Erron. Ending up going 27-3 on the night and did not lose a Kombat league set with him.

[tough rock]

Okay ngl, I called like 90% of the moves you'd do in my head. Except the command grab after acid. Thought it be his toe stomp normal throw. Which leaves the enemy in the acid slightly longer

Also if you're not using Scud Shot Use it

[subtle oyster]

Nice

[subtle oyster]

Scud shot doesn’t need to be equipped against Sub Zero or Baraka

[tough rock]

True but if you spend a bar its a full screen whiff punish

[subtle oyster]

For barely any damage compared to multiple cmd grab mixups

[tough rock]

And I kinda think scud shot also makes Erron ridiculously safe on his strings

[subtle oyster]

Scud shot isn’t meta anymore aside from countering a zoner

On top of that I’m just using the abilities I think are fun but it’s one of his best variations

You don’t even need scud shot to get in cause his f4 is so good

[tough rock]

I legit forgot MK11 has crossplay

[subtle oyster]

For Xbox yeah not PC

[subtle oyster]

Wait no it doesn’t. His toe stomp normal throw doesn’t do nearly as much damage as his cmd grab back throw in acid. It’s like 230 to 180

[tough rock]

Bruh people are ducking my Kotal left and right

I haven't played this game seriously in over a year lol

[subtle oyster]

I figured you mained him since you were trying to give advice

My bad

[tough rock]

Nah lol

I legit forgot how to break throws

[subtle oyster]

I just try to micro duck them cause breaking them is hard as hell

I teched more throws in SF6 in a week then I did my whole MK career

Trying to guess the 50/50 sucks

[tough rock]

Okay thats enough MK11 for me until MK1 drops

[subtle oyster]

Yeah I’m stoked for MK1

[tough rock]

Two Jokers a wifi Sub Zero and a Sonya

[subtle oyster]

Wi-Fi sub zero the worst out of them

[glad ravine]

Doing combos is essential to win in mk right? Unlike sf

[subtle oyster]

In 1 yes, X yes, 11 not as much

Some characters don’t really need to combo in 11

[kindred osprey]

just play scorpion

back 2 is fat

[subtle oyster]

I play Liu Kang against Joker. I also play scorpion

[kindred osprey]

liu kang scorpion is winning for scorpion i believe

[subtle oyster]

It’s pretty even. I play both and enjoy the matchup on both sides

Scorpion can deal with his fireballs but Liu has better string regardless

[last needle]

I saw a really good Sajam video where he really contextualized the whole OLD GAME GOOD NEW GAME BAD thing w/ MKX and MK11

https://youtu.be/jgBE0W-K20w

not an NRS player but feel like y’all would enjoy

[subtle oyster]

That was good I watched it. He didn’t talk about NRS that much but his points are spot on

[last needle]

haha yeah only at the end

I misremembered how little of the video it was

[subtle oyster]

Tbh the difference in gameplay from MKX and MK11 is really vast. I understand if some people are like “MKX is the best of all time yadada” if they enjoy sprinting up and doing instant mix into combos

To me, it’s shit

The new MK definitely looks like the best yet

[last needle]

Yeah I think he says this but it sounds like a classic “really fun to do” “not fun to have it done to you” type thing

[subtle oyster]

The clip with that guy getting fucking mixed is hilarious

“I feel in control” lmfao like what the fuck is that mix

[subtle oyster]

Yeah for sure

[subtle oyster]

@glad ravine this is kinda what we have so far on MK1 music

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F9UDcRKJph0

There’s two main menu themes in that video and time stamps on it

Sonic and Ninjakilla are playing each other rn

They look evenly matched👀

[subtle oyster]

Am I the only one who likes the blue and red flames on Liu?

[subtle oyster]

So excited to see scorpion and Shang gameplay

[glad ravine]

Are they revealing them soon?

[subtle oyster]

I hope so. Nobody knows if or when they will

[gritty marlin]

I think a Kombat kast will come this week

[glad ravine]

I’ve seen posts saying the stress test attracted a low number for twitch streams and most people still are viewing sf6

[subtle oyster]

YouTube is the best platform for MK

In terms of viewers I believe

[glad ravine]

Makes sense. Most mk viewers are prolly casual gamers instead of fg players

[subtle oyster]

Also Asian streamers bring in a ton of viewers and MK isn’t sold there

[gritty marlin]

vtubers had sf6 the 2nd highest category in all of twitch this weekend

[glad ravine]

Mk isn’t sold in asia?

[subtle oyster]

No it’s banned

Due to gore and violence

[glad ravine]

Which is hilarious given how much mk homages asian fighting arts

[gritty marlin]

mk being the #1 sold fg without asai is quite impressive

[subtle oyster]

Yeah it’s kinda humorous

[gritty marlin]

thoughm this time around, i will be interested in how fast it takes for the game to get its first million in sales

sf6 was only a few days , which is great

[subtle oyster]

@glad ravine MK is really growing in Central America which is cool. There are a couple of players there who are considered the best two current players in MK11

@glad ravine Central America kinda dominates the KoF scene right?

[glad ravine]

Mexico and Asia

By asia, I mean China and Taiwan

[subtle oyster]

Oh yeah and Asia

I think if MK wasn’t banned in Asia then it would go a long ways in the competitive scene

Would love to see the setups those guys can come up with

[subtle oyster]

Kano is the most popular kameo choice among top players it seems

Sub Zero looks to be the strongest of the 4 regular character

[tough rock]

It honestly depends on the character.

Kotal Jade and Geras don't need big combos. They can both do them, but other abilities are better or the scaling isn't worth it

Joker, Sub Sonya Noob Jax and others are SF combo heavy.

Sheeva just wants to stomp you. Or zone you out

Liu Kang has frame traps for days

Scorpion is also combo heavy but you're literally playing Happy Chaos red light green light whenever your fighting Scorpion

[subtle oyster]

Liu doesn’t have a ton of frame traps

I guess if you count low fireball which is full combo punishable but everyone has tons of frame traps with special moves

[tough rock]

His normals are most of the traps

[subtle oyster]

F4 is super fake

B1 is minus on stagger so you can easily d1 or jab him into a combo after that

His shit is so fake compared to Jacqui

If you mix up b1, b123, b123 amp low fireball then you’ll be fine against average players who can’t jab you out of being -4

[kindred osprey]

lowkey kotal can win with his command grab alone

[tough rock]

Now stack a damage totem or two with the command grab and watch health bars dissappear

[kindred osprey]

i remember all me any my friend would do in private lobbies was stack damage totems and see who could kill the other the fastest

we had a mod where damage totems would stay there forever

[rose shadow]

[gritty marlin]

Kitana has an infinite

[subtle oyster]

The amount of detail on their hands

[subtle oyster]

@glad ravine I noticed that Combo Breaker 2019 MK11 has over 3 million views which is pretty high. I’m curious if Twitch numbers will increase when the game releases or if YouTube remains the superior platform

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xXlYyRkHayg

[glad ravine]

Maybe twitch is more fg viewers

[subtle oyster]

I definitely think that there’s a big part of the MK community that isn’t part of the “FGC” even the competitors

[subtle oyster]

Same pizza box as The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pizza

[tough rock]

True Underdog's next video.
NRS REUSING ASSETS IN MK1????

Proceeds to be a 15 minute video of literal bullshit

[subtle oyster]

I saw he made a video titled THE MOST BUSTED CHARACTER IN MK1 with a picture of Liu Kang like cmon scrub

Guy is such a piece of shit

[tough rock]

I better not see any of his videos linked and posted in this channel.

Unless to educate or shit talk

[subtle oyster]

For profiling purposes only otherwise permanent ban

[tough rock]

Okay I can't go that far

But I can definitely delete the link

@subtle oyster go ahead and post one of his links

[subtle oyster]

I would never

I don’t support terrorists

[tough rock]

Educational purposes

[subtle oyster]

The 3 pillars of BitchDawg summed up by yours truly

1: He’s a fucking scrub and posts scrub content as seen in the picture below

It’S uNfAiR yeah fuck off scrub

#2: Controversial bullshit and lies for clicks cause what the fuck else does he have

They’re so mad bruh nah they loved that shit fuck off. Only ones that are mad are casuals who can’t combo

#3: Lying about future content cause he’s a TruDogshit human

Probably a 15 minute video of him talking about his feelings and then 30 seconds of it like yeah this isn’t confirmed idk it might be fake tee hee

So fuck him. That’s all there is to know

Okay @tough rock let’s try it

It SaYs ThEy’Re CoNfIrMeD

[subtle oyster]

My man

[tough rock]

I find it worrisome that the videos of his bitching about the game have more views than him actually playing it

[subtle oyster]

Ain’t nobody trying to watch that shit

But yeah the casuals are complaining about MK1 and the high level players are loving it

So that’s a great indication for me that the game is going in the right direction

Only thing I saw was a little faster walk and dash speed and we’re golden

[kindred osprey]

Good

I dont have to deal with clueless subzero #57

NRS has the worst netcode in the FGC

Worse than Tekken

[light wren]

GRANBLUE CARES TO CHALLENGE THEE

[subtle oyster]

Of the big fighting games I guess

I had to fight a 42MS Wi-Fi then it got to be 400ping

Kotal Kahn carries so hard bro

You can be complete ass at the game and compete at EVO cause of this character

[subtle oyster]

@tough rock I’m sorry for even arguing with you about Liu Kang frame traps. I just put this elder god ranked Cetrion in the blender in the corner and it was glorious

The best frame trap is low fireball after a string and this is enhanced with the cmd grab equipped. If they’re slow to press after a string you get a tick throw opportunity with d1 cmd grab

All the sweats are online tonight, nothing but joker Cetrion and Wi-fi sub zero

[tough rock]

Fireball, command grab and parry is goated

[gritty marlin]

rollback never fixing bad wifi

mk11 netcode is good. not amazing tho. But it did let me play wired ppl from EU pretty reliably

it's how i would run into f0xy in ranked sometimes

[rose shadow]

Now that this game is called MK1, I get so confused when I see articles talking about MK2 (the movie.)

[gritty marlin]

throwback
https://youtu.be/0RkapfBYIfc

[glad ravine]

Isn’t there supposed to be mk1 news this week?

[subtle oyster]

No idea

[gritty marlin]

Character bios are up on the MK website

[tough rock]

Kung Lao passed up again as champion

[glad ravine]

Does it have the full roster?

[gritty marlin]

Only the ones from the trailer

Liu sub scorp Kitana mileena Johnny Raiden lao

[subtle oyster]

Lmao

[kindred osprey]

LMFAO

Man, cmon
I know Kung Lao got his flaws
But Raiden? That guy literally FUCKED UP the entire timeline
3 TIMES

If there's anyone who deserves to be the Champion, it's either Kung Lao or even Johnny

Even tho Johnny is too immature yet

[gritty marlin]

https://vxtwitter.com/MortalKombat/status/1674850710742269953?t=wVSswytHTkfBhfjMCk3jcQ&s=19

[subtle oyster]

Scorpion and Johnny gameplay breakdown let’s go

[tough rock]

I'm actually curious if Scorpion is ||Hanzo or Kuai Liang||

Because dammit I really want to know why Steve Blum isn't ||Sub Zero||

[subtle oyster]

It better be the first guy cause otherwise I’m gonna miss him

[glad ravine]

Scorpion is no longer Hanzo??

[subtle oyster]

We don’t know tbh

Scorp and sub were never brothers before and Hanzo has always been Japanese while sub has been Chinese. This time they are brother and both Chinese

So people think that scorp might be the younger brother Kuai Liang who became sub zero in MK2

[glad ravine]

Ed boon messing up the timeline and creating a multiverse

That’s gonna be the sequel

[subtle oyster]

That’s the plan going forward for all games. They’ve been keeping the franchise alive for 30 years at this point they’re embracing new timelines each time

[north mango]

I'm planning to buy PS5 just for MK1 (And maybe Tekken 8) and I was wondering if anyone can guide me through some stuff when it comes to upgrading and transferring stuff from PS4 to PS5?

[subtle oyster]

It should be linked to your PSN account right? You have all your games there

[north mango]

Well, I mainly wanna transfer my SF6 progress first. I have a physical copy and will get a blue ray PS5, so I wanted to know how does all that work? Do I need to buy a PS5 version?

[tough rock]

Most games nowadays transfer your PS4 progress to PS5.

You can run thePS4 version of SF6 or any other ps4 game on a 5. Whether or not the SF6 PS5 upgrade is free or not, idk

[north mango]

Oh nice! It says on the box 'PS5 Upgrade Available', so I guess that means it's free?

Tbh I mainly wanna transfer SF6 to PS5 because I'm tired of playing on Dhalsimer's temple without any elephants

[tough rock]

I'm not sure. Most games it's free or dirt cheap to upgrade

I buy like 90% of my games digital now they give you both ps4 and 5 versions

[tough rock]

You misspelled Cammy's Classic Costume

[north mango]

Ah I see

[north mango]

I prefer the disk version because I rarely trust digital versions

[north mango]

Admiring the cheeks in 4K

[tough rock]

It's more so convince for me. Closest Gamestop is over a half hour away and last time I went to Wal-Mart to buy a physical game it was tedious af due to the employees not knowing how to check older bills to see if they're fake or not

[north mango]

Ah, I get ya then. Closest game shop from my place is like half a mile away and they give good discounts sometimes. That and I had a bad experience with a digital version of a game where the game just refused to open at all and the only solution was to delete the game and buy it again. I've decided to buy physical copies ever since.

[tough rock]

[north mango]

Hold on, so this reveal will be before kombat kast on 10th of july?

[tough rock]

There probably the same thing

Tin foil hat on Rain's getting revealed soon

Actually no, I don't even need a tinfoil hat. Its blatantly obvious

[north mango]

I'm hoping to see someone who had been almost forgotten

That'd be a really fresh start for the trailers imo

[gritty marlin]

Just ready to see ||havik||

[tough rock]

There are characters from every generation in MK1. definitely seeing some characters that haven't been playable since Armageddon in 2006

Which had literally every single MK character in it

[gritty marlin]

MK1 leak from over a year ago that turned out true so far....
||https://twitter.com/thethiny/status/1676393113596710912?t=ADLitySJWwi5JYU3GUM7ew&s=19||

[gritty marlin]

ngl. if ||tanya|| end up making it into the game then im so sorry ||kitana|| but i just KNOW ||she's|| gonna look AMAZINGER

[kindred osprey]

||Wait, Tanya and Mileena gonna be base roster? Best couple ever.||

||Also, Shao Kahn is there? And not a Kahn? This is gonna be funny||

[subtle oyster]

I wish I didn’t read that post I was hoping it was gonna be a bunch of the Kombat kast

[tough rock]

@subtle oyster im starting to think Jade fans may be MK1's version of Mileena fans

I got stuff like this on my Twitter timeline

[subtle oyster]

NRS fans in general are annoying

There would be actual riots and people murdered if scorpion was not included

[tough rock]

Nrs fans who's main is female are annoying. Smoke, Cryax and Sektor fans are chill

[subtle oyster]

The edenian stans are the fucking worst lol

[tough rock]

Thats like making Ryu or Ken DLC

Never gonna happen

[subtle oyster]

Yeah it wouldn’t make any sense

Like there would probably be a lot less sales if they didn’t include scorpion

[tough rock]

But idk if there are "Baiken" popular characters

Characters so popular they are guaranteed to sell DLC

[subtle oyster]

I probably would have guessed Mileena

[tough rock]

And zero to little chance of being on base game

[subtle oyster]

Yeah idk

Smoke or reptile probably

But they have a chance of being main particularly reptile

[tough rock]

But I don't think Smoke or Reptile have the Baiken popularity factor.

Imo the only characters that do are Scorpion, Sub Zero, Liu Kang, Kitana and Mileena

[subtle oyster]

I guess there’s two ways to think of that

Like Strives fanbase is small so if 90% are buying Baiken compared to 65% with reptile then Reptile is more popular

[tough rock]

Like SF I can name a few right off the bat, Juri and Cammy

I'm still somewhat surprised both are in base game. Juri/Cammy would have easily sold season pass 1 by themselves

[subtle oyster]

I probably wouldn’t have bought the game if Juri and cammy weren’t in it

The SF6 roster is already small

Tomorrow is gonna prove so many leaks either right or wrong

[gritty marlin]

yep

[glad ravine]

In 4 1/2 hours

[tough rock]

Alright lads and lasses, I am personally stuck in meetings I don't want to be in until 5 pm

If anyone pings me spoilers from this trailer I'll mod abuse slightly inconvenience them

[north mango]

So guys

[glad ravine]

@north mango @subtle oyster

[north mango]

Place your bets

[glad ravine]

Mileena and Jade

No skarlett hehe

[north mango]

I think we'll get Mileena or Jade trailer, along with maybe Ermac or Reptile kameos

[glad ravine]

Kameos will be mk1 dudes

By mk1 I meant the original one

[north mango]

There's not much left then. Kano, Sub, Cage, Goro and Sonya are already in. And I doubt we will get Liu and Scorpion as both kameos and characters.

This only leaves Shang and Reptile

Shang is in as a regular character

[subtle oyster]

Scorpion and Johnny gameplay is confirmed. Rumored that Jade isn’t main roster

[north mango]

So only Reptile remains

Yo imagine if we got like

Hsu Hao and Jarek as a kameo trailer

[subtle oyster]

Kill me

[subtle oyster]

Shang is DLC so maybe not

[north mango]

https://tenor.com/view/hsu-hao-mk-hsu-hao-gif-23432997

[glad ravine]

Baraka will be a kameo

Who else is in mk2?

[north mango]

Smoke, Noob Saibot, Shao, Kintaro

[glad ravine]

Isn’t noob saibot the original sub zero?

Oh mk3 guys too since striker is a kameo

[subtle oyster]

Yeah he not gonna be in this game unless he dies in the story

[subtle oyster]

I will blow my brains out

[glad ravine]

Jade is mk3 right?

She gonna be a kameo

[subtle oyster]

Pretty sure yeah

[north mango]

Yeah, the two Sub Zero brothers are now Scorpion and Sub Zero instead. This leaves Noob Saibot out of equation. However, they could easily include Noob by altering his backstory or snatching him from an alternate timeline

[subtle oyster]

I hope so. Jade players so annoying

[north mango]

UMK3 was her first playable appearance, but she was a secret character in MK2.

[subtle oyster]

I wanna see scorpion and Johnny bombos today baby🫡

The amount of lab time one can do with MK1 is gonna be insane

[north mango]

Did you guys notice how Scorpion also weilds kusarigama?

Aka the weapon our beloved Axl has

[subtle oyster]

Yeah it’s dope

[glad ravine]

Beloved?

[subtle oyster]

Shangs new weapon is perfect and makes me want to play him

[north mango]

Who can not like Axl?

[north mango]

Vega's claw

https://tenor.com/view/street-fighter-chun-li-vega-balrog-gif-25253148

[glad ravine]

Is MK the most popular fg in your country soul?

[north mango]

FGs are not popular at all around here. All of the 'gamers' just play GTA and FIFA all day. I find that boring tbh. So far I haven't found anyone irl who loves FGs as I do.

[glad ravine]

Sad, you need to start a local scene

[north mango]

Hell, even the game retail stores don't promote FGs upon their release dates on the social media

I vividly remember not seeing any promotion for Strive, KOF15 and SF6

[north mango]

Maybe one day... I just gotta find a way to start and gather even a handful of guys

[glad ravine]

Even sf6? That’s like the most popular one

[north mango]

Nope. But they did promote Spiderman 2, Final Fantasy 16 and Diablo 4.

It's like they hate FGs

[subtle oyster]

I’m curious to see EU numbers on SF and MK

[glad ravine]

I feel mk is an American thing only

Sf6 is popular in EU

[subtle oyster]

MK is popular in EU

But MK vs SF in the U.S. is gonna be a landslide for MK

[kindred osprey]

Mk is more of a household name in the us

[subtle oyster]

It’s the only American fighter, but it’s definitely popular in the EU.

It’s literally just not popular in Asia cause it’s banned in Japan, Korea, etc.

[kindred osprey]

Yep

Both my parents are more familiar with mk than sf

[glad ravine]

10 min

[subtle oyster]

I’m Ngl idk where the reveal is gonna be at

Nvm found it

[glad ravine]

Twitch

3 min countdown

You watching @north mango ?

[north mango]

Yep!

[glad ravine]

They need to get on with it

[kindred osprey]

Not only
Cuz Mk1 had like 6 characters
I think we'll be getting kameos from every game
But mostly from the first timeline
I mean, the one before Armageddon

[glad ravine]

Smoke and Rain characters

Cyrax, Sektor, Frost, Scorpion kameos

[north mango]

Well that was boring af

[subtle oyster]

Half the video was sub zero again

[glad ravine]

No female characters

[subtle oyster]

Smoke is dope

[north mango]

Precisely

[glad ravine]

Frost kameo

[north mango]

Wasted slot imo. She was there in the last game, would've been better to have some other 3D era girl instead

[subtle oyster]

There’s still time but she’s the least hype character ever

[north mango]

Ikr

[glad ravine]

No more reveals I think the rest of the stream is showing off Johnny and Scorpion

[kindred osprey]

Wait
I thought the Kombat Kast was live now?

[glad ravine]

Yes it’s live now

[subtle oyster]

They’re about to show off Johnny and scorp

[kindred osprey]

Did I lose that?

[subtle oyster]

What?

[kindred osprey]

The reveals

[glad ravine]

They showed a new trailer revealing those 2

[kindred osprey]

Ahhhhhhhhh
Fuck

[glad ravine]

Yep you missed it

[kindred osprey]

Going back the stream

Lmao

[subtle oyster]

I want a kameo with plus frames with a character that has plus frames so the opponent doesn’t get to play the game

[kindred osprey]

SMOKE IS COOL

Also...
Scorpion and Sub Zero are not blood brothers

[subtle oyster]

Scorpion with a teleport on top of Kung Lao’s teleport is gonna be some Kombat league scrub shit

[glad ravine]

“Player expression”

Such a FGC term

Came from max dood

[subtle oyster]

I’m bout to get my bombos

Can combo off ex slide. Fuck sub zero

An unblockable wtf

[kindred osprey]

Scorpion top tier

As always

[subtle oyster]

Scorpion is always mid tier

Liu Kang generally upper tier

[kindred osprey]

Sad
Johnny doesn't have the green glow

I might play Johnny
He has a Kof roll
Lmao

JOHNNY LOOKS SO COOL

[gritty marlin]

looking good

[subtle oyster]

Bruh Johnny looks sick as hell

The dash sells it

I wanna see some bombos

[gritty marlin]

they gave him jacqui throw but with more reward

[kindred osprey]

I might play Johnny this game
If I decide to buy it, that is

Mileena main
Johnny secondary
Back to MKX times
Lol

[subtle oyster]

Yeah Johnny looks so fun

[glad ravine]

Soul warrior checked out after there was no females lol

[sterile scarab]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=66opZ1Go_ZA&feature=shareb

Wow

They look great

They showed like 6 kameos

[subtle oyster]

I’m pretty satisfied ngl. Reptile and Erron Black would round out perfection

[subtle oyster]

There’s gonna be more females

[sterile scarab]

There was frost

[subtle oyster]

@north mango wants Nitara, Sareena, Jade, female main characters

[kindred osprey]

Yeah, I'd love Nitara and Sareena

[sterile scarab]

Yeah I guess we’ll see what they show later on

[kindred osprey]

Plz Liu Kang...
Let Sareena and Bi Han finally have their romance

[subtle oyster]

Nitara and Sareena would be hype

I think Tanya coming too

[kindred osprey]

Scrap what I said
Scorpion was talking to Smoke, no Sub Zero

Smoke is adopted
Again

Also...
Juts noticed something

First trailer, Kung Lao, the char, not the assist, didn't have his hat, right?
Which is why I assumed we would play as the Great Kung Lao and the hat one would only be Kameo

But in this trailer, Playable Kung Lao has the hat

[north mango]

I'm thinking more of someone like Li Mei and Ashrah

[subtle oyster]

Oh I gotcha

[kindred osprey]

Ashrah was cool in Deception
I'd like to see her again

Yo
Does anyone here still play MK11?
I might install it back today

Just for the hype
Lmao

[subtle oyster]

Kung also didn’t have his hat in the initial trailer. It could be similar to the fights with Sonya where her energy rings were taken from her in 11

Like you have to win the fight without his hat in the story mode

[kindred osprey]

AHHHHHHHHH
Makes sense

Could be just a story mode thing

I was almost afraid of variations again

[north mango]

In such a vast world of MK, wielding white and voodoo magic is just something my Slavic self is most familiar with folklore-wise

[subtle oyster]

Same here, this is gonna be better and with more routes

[kindred osprey]

Also...
Think we're gonna have a Konquest Mode again?

[north mango]

Too good to be true. But if they manage to do it, it will blow World Tour away

[kindred osprey]

I loved Deception's Konquest...
Armaggeddon was fun too

[subtle oyster]

Idk if they will. Seems to be concentrating hard on story mode

[kindred osprey]

I'd love a story mode like 9, X and 11 too
They do it so well I wouldn't complain at all

[subtle oyster]

I’d still hit

Ima need time to move a lil faster

[north mango]

They finally realized the MKX snake mouth concept

But those side jaws serve no purpose tho

[kindred osprey]

Play SF6 during the wait

[kindred osprey]

Honestly, I'd rather just have Baraka's mouth like MK9

But looks cool either way
Can't wait to see her fatalities and gameplay

[subtle oyster]

Nah it kinda bores me. I was playing KoF with @glad ravine recently

[subtle oyster]

Intimidation factor

[kindred osprey]

Ohhhhh
Kof is cool af

[subtle oyster]

I guess lol

[north mango]

True

[subtle oyster]

Biggest thing I wanna know at this point is how the netcode and input lag is

I think I prefer rains design in 11 over this one

[kindred osprey]

Yeah...
Rain is VERY different from before

And I liked his design in 9

[north mango]

Here is the concept art of MKX Mileena's mouth

It was supposed to be fragmented and snake-like

Kinda how it is now in MK1

[kindred osprey]

Wow
Looks cool tho
Even tho I don't like that she'd look normal with her mouth closed

[north mango]

And the skulls suggest that the teeth and the whole jaw could extrude towards and outwards, kinda like goblin shark

https://tenor.com/view/shark-eating-fish-prey-predator-gif-7975485

Something like this

[north mango]

The only time she has ever looked normal with closed mouth was in MK Legacy, where her mouth would split apart and teeth would get sharp when she got angry. She still had the slight scarring on the cheeks tho.

[kindred osprey]

That does look cool

But looks too much like Predator, no?

[north mango]

Predator's inclusion in MKX could've prevented this design now that I think about it

Don't want two characters with no correlation to one another to look similar

[kindred osprey]

Yup

Exactly

As a boy, Smoke lived to hunt with his family. Their final hunt, however, ended in tragedy. Having accidentally trespassed onto Lin Kuei lands, they were attacked. Smoke was orphaned.

Ashamed by his warriors' actions, the Lin Kuei's Grandmaster adopted Smoke. He raised him…

I think a Reddit post figured out who the main antagonist is

And I believe it

General Shao not Shao Kahn is confirmed!

That proves the post

[subtle oyster]

I think daddy is back

[glad ravine]

This haircut for a ninja is funny

[subtle oyster]

Yeah he used to have long ass hair and now he’s got this so idk

[glad ravine]

Bro went to Great Clips

[subtle oyster]

Lore is, he got the name smoke cause you just roasted him so hard

Ed just gon put Leffen in the game & thought we wouldn’t notice? 🥸

Twitter · Jul 6, 2023, 7:17 PM

i can't unsee it now

[subtle oyster]

Oh my fucking god no I can’t deal with this

[sterile scarab]

you see it too then

[kindred osprey]

NEW TRAILER

AHHHHH

[kindred osprey]

Who?

[tough rock]

So I'm finally home after 5 straight hours of ridiculous meetings. time to watch this new trailer

Man that trailer is insane

[kindred osprey]

YSSSSSSSS

[tough rock]

About time Smoke was playable

[kindred osprey]

No long hair tho

Sad

[tough rock]

Frost Kameo surprised me.

Don't think anyone leaked her too

Maybe a certain female Edenia is base roster, who knows for sure?

Okay I lost interest after the trailer not gonna lie

[subtle oyster]

Why

They showed off Johnny and Scorpion gameplay and it was fire

[tough rock]

They started talking about Kameos, the stress test and what not and just lost interest

I'll check out Johnny but I'm gonna assume Scorpion plays similar to MKX and 11

[subtle oyster]

Oh I thought you meant you lost interest in buying the game after the trailer

[tough rock]

Oh fuck no

[subtle oyster]

I seriously kinda wanna main Johnny it was dope

[tough rock]

Already hot this preordered. Regardless of roster

[subtle oyster]

Do you want the general gist of his gameplay?

[tough rock]

Johnny? Someone on the comments says he has a meter and turns into an anime fighter when said meter is full

So something like Juri's level 2 super?

Which let's you chain any light attack into any medium and then any heavy nonstop

But since MK is combo string heavy my guess is Johnny can combo special moves after each other?

[subtle oyster]

He doesn’t have green magic fireballs anymore. He’s solely rushdown. He has a dash all the time kinda like Giovanna or Vanessa in KoF just not as OP. His meter is called his hype meter and he can build it by doing attacks or taunts. It lets him chain specials into specials so you can do like nut punch into nut punch etc

He is a heavy pressure and mixup character with supposedly a ton of different launcher strings

[tough rock]

Three consecutive nut punches has to be a brutality

[tough rock]

So Johnny is Sonya

[subtle oyster]

I don’t think he’s gonna have to rely on the hype meter at all I think it’s just kinda icing on the cake

[subtle oyster]

Sorta

With no cmd grab

He probably doesn’t have anything like military stances

[tough rock]

But also no Ronda Rousey VA

[subtle oyster]

Let’s hope not

The idea of her being the voice actress was hype until she opened her mouth

[tough rock]

Johnny's VA is the same since MKX

[subtle oyster]

And he’s a badass voice actor

Literally perfect

[tough rock]

Mk11 nailed voice acting aside from Ronda imo

And this was a Lin Kuei only trailer... I'm still holding out the hopium for Kitana's bff

But it looks like I may get the main I first thought had zero chance of being in MK1

Kinda like how @warm zephyr has held on to hopium for Slayer since launch

[subtle oyster]

I just want Reptile and Erron and I got everyone I wanted plus some. Would like to see a character with some setups

I think Nitara and Sareena fans deserve a chance in the spotlight

[kindred osprey]

I just wanted Mileena and I hot it
Happy already

[subtle oyster]

Yeah I like Scorpion, Liu, Johnny, Mileena, Kitana, and Shang so I’m pretty well off each MK

However Erron definitely grew on me

[kindred osprey]

Shao Kahn too

[subtle oyster]

We probably getting Shao

[subtle oyster]

And the main antagonist is gonna be Onaga I didn’t answer earlier

[kindred osprey]

Wow
Onaga? Didn't expect that

||That's why Shao Kahn isn't a Kahn yet...||

||Even in normal timeline, he was Onaga's general before he killed him||

[subtle oyster]

Yeah I’m excited for it

The villains are hella stacked this game

[kindred osprey]

Plus, I think Liu Kang says something about Onaga on one of his quotes to himself on the beta

[subtle oyster]

Yep

[subtle oyster]

And these are the same undead army as Onaga’s in Deception I think

The ones not circled. I think the circle is General

[kindred osprey]

True...
Wow
Great

Deception is my favorite PS2 game

The one I played the most

[subtle oyster]

I just think this cast is gonna be fucking stacked

[kindred osprey]

Not even Deception
Unchained
The version for PSP
Lmao

[subtle oyster]

Like if Onaga dies you still have Shang, Shao, Rain, Mileena plus whoever else they might add

I kinda want Quan Chi in this bitch too

[kindred osprey]

||I think he is leaked dlc||

[subtle oyster]

Let’s fucking go

[kindred osprey]

I am very happy with the roster tbh

[subtle oyster]

Same here

[kindred osprey]

I am just worried about the changes in story

[subtle oyster]

I know guest characters aren’t super popular but I think Omni Man is a cool addition

The others I don’t really care for

[kindred osprey]

I don't remember

[tough rock]

||Quan Chi Ermac, Takeda Homelander and Omni Man||

If ||John Cena isn't Homelanders VA|| what's the point then?

[warm zephyr]

Damn right

[tough rock]

I'm not sure what's worse, having your main be in the games data files since launch or having your main possibly be an assist character only

[subtle oyster]

I forgot, Smoke is also European so he gonna have hair like a white guy

[kindred osprey]

My brother just bought MK11 Ultimate on his account
I am back to playing it

Feels much better than I remember
Maybe because I finally have Shao Kahn and Mileena

Does anyone here still play MK11?

[tough rock]

I did like a week or so ago

Until the wifi sub Zeros and nonstop Scorpions reminded me why I despised them

[kindred osprey]

I don't plan on playing ranked
Lmao

But I'd love to play people here

[subtle oyster]

I don’t mind scorpions but sub carries so hard

[subtle oyster]

What system are you on?

[kindred osprey]

PS5

[tough rock]

Its the scorpions that play. Red Light Green Light with his teleport i despise

[tough rock]

I'll download it again but I am nowhere near the player I once was lol

[kindred osprey]

I am a complete beginner

I never played online tbh
I used to just beat up my brother

Lmao

[subtle oyster]

I can play characters I’m not familiar with or teach you someone

[tough rock]

This may be my only chance to play Jade so, yeah I'm downloading

[subtle oyster]

I need to get used to ps5 controller😩

Jade 🤮

[kindred osprey]

I'm trying Mileena, Shao Kahn and Shang Tsung

I swear I'm a good person

Lmfao

I just like the villains

[subtle oyster]

Mileena is kinda frustrating to play. Shao is hella good and Shang is solid

[tough rock]

[kindred osprey]

Why is she frustrating?
Low tier?

[tough rock]

Mileena is the worst character in the game

[kindred osprey]

Oh

[tough rock]

She's incomplete

[kindred osprey]

Lmfao

Her fatalities suck

[subtle oyster]

Yeah she is. Maybe not bottom 1 but she’s down there

[tough rock]

Mileena was god tier at one thing

[subtle oyster]

I know her so I can teach you stuff with her

[tough rock]

Beating Sheeva stomp spammers

[kindred osprey]

I really like Mileena
So I'll play her for sure
But Shao Kahn is my second main
Lmao

[subtle oyster]

Equip her cmd grab

It’s a must

[tough rock]

And air teleport kick

[kindred osprey]

I have it already
Looks so cool
Lmao

[subtle oyster]

I agree with that. I usually do cmd grab air tele and the extra strings
