Mortal Kombat

[north mango]

To be fair, a ghost isn't exclusive to Sindel. She only gained that in MK11 because for some reason they had to give her two new assets (ghost and Kwan Dao) because apparently prehensile hair and screams aren't enough.
Ashrah got the same treatment. She has so much going on for her, but they gave her something completely unrelated.

[subtle oyster]

Yes but it’s a banshee shriek and is the exact same as Sindel so that’s why it feels weird to me

Honestly Li Mei might be my favorite female rn and I’d never thought I’d ever say that

Until I see Mileena gameplay

[north mango]

Yeah I think they should at least give hers a new audio. Something either angelic or demonic. It's too late to remove it and give her something fitting

[subtle oyster]

Yeah I agree

[north mango]

Even throwing a doll at the opponent and having her teleport and attack to its location would be much better and more creative than the ghost

[subtle oyster]

Her gameplay may be fun tho we’ll see

I like her more than Smoke rn

[north mango]

Idk it seems kinda like Raven from IGAU

Switching between good and evil forms

[subtle oyster]

The switch is kinda cool tho ngl. You can change up your zoning strats and keep them guessing

I’m just not a fan of Smoke’s hair or his animations

Imo if her evil banshee/teleport was a projectile like Chizuru it would be peak

[north mango]

She does have a fakeout ghost, so there is some Chizuru elements

[subtle oyster]

Yes but it would be better if it acted as a projectile for better mix

Like if it was projectile, feint, and teleport

But I think she’ll be okay tbh

Reptile looks like peak design rn

[north mango]

His loincloth on the back acting as a tail is brilliant

[gritty marlin]

Yep

I for one am completely fine with no original chars in the main roster

Bc a lot of these 3d chars are brand new to nrs-only players

[subtle oyster]

You’re smoking meth

[gritty marlin]

HAVIK

[subtle oyster]

I wouldn’t buy the game if they didn’t have the original characters

No reason to support that

[gritty marlin]

???

Wym

Oh I think you misunderstood

I mean brand new characters

Like never before seen

[subtle oyster]

Oh

Then I agree 100%

[gritty marlin]

Wouldn't even be MK lol

Would be.. multiversus or something

[subtle oyster]

Yeah it would be dumb

But yeah I wanted to see Havik, Ashrah, Sareena, and Nitara for sure

[tough rock]

The Canon rivalry is Stryker vs Mileena

[north mango]

Mileena: 'I still recall your unfair ambush at the pyramid'
Styrker: 'Hahah, was a real sucker punch, don't you agree?'

[tough rock]

Angry Mileena noises

[subtle oyster]

@gritty marlin did you get a beta code?

[gritty marlin]

im gonna do the gamestop trick today sinec i dont know which version i want to buy yet

[subtle oyster]

What’s the trick?

I bought mine off the PS5 store not sure which one is the best option

[gritty marlin]

do a preorder on a physical release. you spend $5 that you can get back, and also get a beta code in the process. Im def not buying the physical version. I just dont know if i want ps5 or pc

[subtle oyster]

Oh that’s smart

[tough rock]

I should do this for PS5 or Series X but I hate the X's dpad for fighting games

[subtle oyster]

Series X dpad > PS5 dpad

[tough rock]

Been using Playstation dpads for 20 plus years lol

[gritty marlin]

xbox dpad is too sharp to do motions , for me

but at least it's a quality dpad

[subtle oyster]

PS5 dpad is the worst d-pad ever made

[kindred osprey]

Whyyyyy?
I like it tbh

[tough rock]

@subtle oyster woke up this morning and decided to hate

[subtle oyster]

You literally have the worst opinion on everything

[tough rock]

You sound like my wife rn

Except she's more... colorful in her language

[kindred osprey]

LMFAO

[subtle oyster]

Well I am too usually but I don’t wanna get banned rn

[tough rock]

I can personally take jokes lol. But yeah, can see why you're cautious

[subtle oyster]

Yeah I figured lol and I usually hold back a lil more over text cause it’s harder to decipher tonality and stuff

But Fuck Jade

[kindred osprey]

Kotal does that

[subtle oyster]

That wheelchair vegetable ain’t fucking nobody

[tough rock]

Only non Comic dub Kotal has too

[kindred osprey]

LMFAO
Plz Lord Liu Kang, let General Shao do that again in the new timeline...

[subtle oyster]

Wheelchair kotal needs to be canon that was hilarious

My favorite scene in all of aftermath

[tough rock]

You're eating so many Geras command grabs for all your Jade slander

[subtle oyster]

I’m gonna steal geras’s soul with Shang and belly flop your bitch ass

[kindred osprey]

Omg
There is Shang too
I wanna main half the cast

[tough rock]

Literally gonna do his MK11 wakeup AA where he explodes in the sand

[subtle oyster]

Stealing someone’s soul and not knowing any of their moves is a staple of mine

[tough rock]

Kripple Khan

[subtle oyster]

Kripple Kotal Kahn

Wait

[kindred osprey]

Yup

[kindred osprey]

LMFAO

[tough rock]

[subtle oyster]

Literally gonna nut punch you 9 times with Johnny so you won’t be having more kids

[tough rock]

The amount of times I fought a Shang that hit me with soul steal and then realized they had no idea how to play Geras and immediately jump backed or tried a yolo Fatal Blow is incredibly high

[subtle oyster]

I just grab lmao

[tough rock]

Geras would literally get his balls back next time he revives himself

[subtle oyster]

But when you beat their ass with their own character is the best feeling ever

Just assert dominance over them more than Shao did Kotal

[tough rock]

Transform into a Sub Zero and give them a taste of their own bullshit for like 10 seconds

[subtle oyster]

I hate that bastard as much as I do Jade

Whoever’s idea it was to give him fucking ice clone again needs to have their spine ripped out

[tough rock]

I'd much rather fight Jade than a wifi Sub

[subtle oyster]

I agree

Wait

I couldn’t have read that right

No way we agree on something

[kindred osprey]

LMFAO

I never played MK online
But I imagine it must be hell

[subtle oyster]

It’s the most toxic out of all the FG’s

[kindred osprey]

I might play Sub Zero on the MK1 tho
Think he'll be as bad as in 11?

[kindred osprey]

I heard that a lot
I just watch Losty, so...

[subtle oyster]

Not as scrubby but he’s very well equipped

[kindred osprey]

I see a lot of bullshit there

[subtle oyster]

Lucky you don’t have much time to teebag in this game so it will be better

MK1 gonna have less scrub shit

[kindred osprey]

Eh
That is fine
I might play him
But Mileena and Reptile are probably the ones I'm going for

Until we see Shao

[subtle oyster]

You should definitely play him if you want to play him I won’t give you shit

I’ll give @tough rock shit tho

[kindred osprey]

I like Bi Han tbh
Not even about Sub Zero

[subtle oyster]

I agree I wanna see gameplay breakdowns of Mileena and Reptile

[kindred osprey]

Smoke is already on my list too
The guy looks GREAT

[subtle oyster]

Reptile looks so damn good in this

[kindred osprey]

I love the mix ups
And I'll be so annoying with the invisibility

[kindred osprey]

Do we know who his face model is?

I've seen people saying it's Nero from DMC5

[subtle oyster]

I have no idea I love the reptile shapeshift and the crocodile roll

[kindred osprey]

And they do look VERY much alike...
I just don't think it's him tho

[tough rock]

Did we just become best friends????

[kindred osprey]

Yessssss

[subtle oyster]

Ima play Johnny and Li Mei this weekend

If I have time I’ll play Liu too

[tough rock]

I'm trying everyone once but I'm gonna play Li Mei more

[subtle oyster]

Stick with that bald mfer she’s mine💅

[tough rock]

Geras is in the beta?

[subtle oyster]

No lol

Thank goodness❤️

I watched a lot of gameplay over the other characters so I might as well play the new ones

[tough rock]

I'm gonna go the MK11 route and learn 3 characters

And SF6 route too

Geras definitely one of them

[subtle oyster]

I feel like I’ll be able to learn characters so much faster after putting time in 11

[tough rock]

It also helps NRS games are the easiest to learn

[subtle oyster]

It’s harder for me to switch characters in NRS and Tekken than SF cause there’s more moves to memorize

[gritty marlin]

This .. is interesting

Though I haven't played Tekken in ages

[subtle oyster]

It’s more like information overload I guess

[tough rock]

Most Tekken characters have close to or over 100 individual moves in their move lists

[subtle oyster]

Yeah I know

[last needle]

More of an undertaking picking up a new character in tekken

Can vary depending on who it is too so hard

Sometimes it just doesn’t click either

Took me forever to find a main

[subtle oyster]

Yeah for real. Like I wanted to pick up Shaheen after learning Kaz, Jin, and Kazumi but I was so ass and he was supposed to be easy

Could not vibe with him

[last needle]

He’s boring

Prolly just poke, DF1 whatever else he has

[subtle oyster]

Pretty much what I did lol

[gritty marlin]

https://vxtwitter.com/Dynasty1031/status/1692022335539224918?s=20

[tough rock]

Pre order secure

Good thing my wife doesn't check my bank account

[vague creek]

Lmao

[north mango]

I got access to the beta too!

[subtle oyster]

I’m enjoying this

[tough rock]

I want details lol

Please

[subtle oyster]

The game feels more fluid than 11, movement feels great, graphics and lighting look fucking insane in 4K, input lag on PS5 with HDR on doesn’t feel as much as 11

Dash block is really nice

Johnny’s funny as shit

[tough rock]

What modes are available?

[subtle oyster]

Towers and online

[tough rock]

Like custom room online or just random matchmaking?

[subtle oyster]

Random

[tough rock]

Damn

[subtle oyster]

It’s fun everyone sucks rn

[tough rock]

Thats how it was in MK11's beta too

I still have clips of that saved

[subtle oyster]

I should have just clipped something with my last match lol

[subtle oyster]

You get better combos than I do rn

[north mango]

Kitana plays so fine

[subtle oyster]

I’m using Johnny rn

Annoying ppl with overheads

[subtle oyster]

Just went 15-0 to start out the career

[tough rock]

Beta time

[subtle oyster]

Who you gonna play

I’m trying Johnny and Li Mei rn

[tough rock]

Right now I'm playing Towers with Liu Kang

And pressing MK11 combo strings and wondering why he isn't doing them

[subtle oyster]

Johnny is easy

I been abusing his 50’s

[tough rock]

I'm gonna try everyone

[subtle oyster]

This game prob easier than 11

[tough rock]

Bruh they gave sub zero Cammy's dive kick?

@subtle oyster Sub Zero may be my beta main

[subtle oyster]

Why is it Cammy’s dive kick?

[subtle oyster]

He’s got way too many tools

I took a break to eat some food and Ketchup’s Li Mei with Jax is nuts

[tough rock]

Kenshi glitches out the game audio something

Fierce

@subtle oyster i just got a Quitality in the Online Beta

[subtle oyster]

Sub zero is pissing a lot of people off I hear

[tough rock]

I was Li Mei

Sub is nice for learning all these new aerial combos

Hit confirm virtually anything into ice ball, B3 then jump into any air combo

[subtle oyster]

I’m bout to lab Li Mei and Jax

[tough rock]

I was having success with Kenshi ngl

[subtle oyster]

Sonicfox2.0

Snakefox

[tough rock]

@subtle oyster we're going to completely ignore me dropping this combo and focus on Fatal Blows not being armored

10/10 game already for this feature

[subtle oyster]

Yeah it’s much better

[tough rock]

Can only get better by adding Jade

[subtle oyster]

Jax is so hard to use in combos

I can’t get the timing down

[tough rock]

Adulting duties call me away from the beta.

That quitality was worth it

[gritty marlin]

[subtle oyster]

They really gave sub zero every tool imaginable in this game

[north mango]

I bet this is to compensate for the awful beginning of the beta lol

[tough rock]

The benefit of going to work today was I missed all the network errors of the first few hours

[subtle oyster]

You missed the limited edition Geras skin that was given to the first 3000 players

[tough rock]

Oh please, Limited edition skins are sold for a limited time nowadays.

We should all know that by now

[subtle oyster]

You missed out on cock sock Geras bro

[tough rock]

They'll bring it back just like previous Kombat League seasons

[subtle oyster]

Johnny is prob gonna be the main

This mfer is just too fun

[subtle oyster]

This is a Johnny bnb I found that gets you a ton of hype and does 38%

Sorry for the shit quality PS app is weird

[vague creek]

Isn't Johnny's fatal supposed to be a parry?

[tough rock]

Yeah but I've also smacked Kitana out of hers twice

[vague creek]

Kitana's is parry as well?

[tough rock]

@subtle oyster does Li Mei feel... bland to play as?

[north mango]

Hers is slow as fuck

31 frames startup

[tough rock]

So out of all the beta characters, I kinda only vibe with Sub

[subtle oyster]

Her combos are fucking insane dude

You need to use frost kameo with her

I can show you a bnb with her if you wanna see one

[tough rock]

That's probably why, was using Jax

[subtle oyster]

Jax is good too because you get setups but I think the frost kameo provides the best combos

I’ll get online and show you a combo to do

This isn’t optimal and I think you can get like 2-3 more lanterns but it’s hard as shit

@tough rock

[tough rock]

[subtle oyster]

Should be able to do that with any combo starter

Really good cause it allows her 4-3 to combo like in the video which is a good string

@tough rock Johnny definitely feels the most fun to me imo

[tough rock]

I never really got the chance to try Johnny tbh

My MK1 beta record ends like 15-4 with Sub Zero and Kenshi being my most played. With two quitalities, ironically enough i used Li Mei and Liu Kang when I got the quitalites

And I know its only Saturday but date night with wife tonight and going to the in laws tomorrow.

[north mango]

So far I've been having great results with Kitana + Frost

Frost can help Kitana extend and start combos, as well as end blockstrings safely in order to disengage from a distance

Much more useful than Sonya kameo imo, who is only useful for combos only

[subtle oyster]

What are your bnb combos for her? I’m starting to lab her

I’m assuming starting string into frost ice

[north mango]

Midscreen
2412 DB1, dash, deep J1, J34
B24 DB1, dash, deep J1, dash, B2 DB1

Corner
2412 DB1, DB1B, B1 DB1B, 11 DB1B
2412 DB1, J21, 11 DF2
2412 DB1, J3, 2 DB1 EX, J34

Something like this, although you can always branch out into something else

[north mango]

Yeah, I usually do 2412 Frost and then J2 into another 2412

By jumping right after, J2 sidwswitches
Walk back a bit and then jump forward into J2 to stay sameside

[subtle oyster]

So you jump and do j1 then jump again and do j34?

[north mango]

Correct. You do J1 as late as possible and J34 as soon as possible

[subtle oyster]

How much damage does that net roughly? For the mid screen combo

[north mango]

And the whole combo is stupidly damaging because J34 deals a ton of damage lol

[north mango]

About 30%

[subtle oyster]

That’s not bad

[north mango]

Yeah I think 30ish without any kameo help is decent

[subtle oyster]

Can you do that combo with a frost freeze in it?

[north mango]

Kitana in general feels satisfying with her combos, but getting to that point is another story, since you gotta work hard to open people up

[north mango]

Yeah, just do it at the beginning when they are still on the ground

2412 Frost freeze, J2 2412 DB1, dash, deep J1, J34

Oh another thing

Her DB1 launcher doesn't connect after 11

So instead use Frost freeze and it works

[subtle oyster]

That’s really helpful for punishes

I meant the frost freeze allowing her to combo off 1-1

[north mango]

Yeah you could imagine my frustration when I noticed this problem

However I found another solution

If for some reason you have no Kameo meter, do her DB2 EX into aerial DB1

DB2 EX allows her to do any aerial special moves afterwards

After you do that, you can just do BF1 fan toss

And if you don't even have meter at all, after 11 either do DF2, DB2 or BF1

[subtle oyster]

Do you think she needs to be buffed? I see others complaining

[north mango]

My only nitpicks are the lack of any overheads and the atrocious recovery on pokes

[subtle oyster]

Yeah I don’t have to work hard with Johnny so I’m spoiled there lol

[north mango]

For example, converting off of antiair S1 is impossible because the recovery is so big

[subtle oyster]

Yeah she’s similar to Liu as he doesn’t have much off overheads. He has one string that ends in an overhead I think

[north mango]

At least in MK11 she had the universal hop attack and quick antiairs

[subtle oyster]

That fucking sucks

Like really sucks

[north mango]

I really hope there is a kameo that has Overhead attack to mix things up

[subtle oyster]

I think scorpion did

And he has movement for zoning

Could potentially be good

[north mango]

I checked the frame data and the recovery is like 24 or something. So in realistic situations, most you can do is just S1 into BF1 fan toss

DB1 can't connect either because they are too far away

She has to dash in after S1 in order to do that

[subtle oyster]

That sucks because it’s so incredibly easy to s1 anti air with other characters

[north mango]

But it's impossible because of S1 recovery so yeah

[subtle oyster]

It’s much easier than previous games to convert on it

[north mango]

I'd take a look at him then tnx

[north mango]

Yeah I agree

[subtle oyster]

I get good combo conversions with Johnny

[north mango]

Idk if it's Kitana or the game, but the frame data is so sloppy most of the time

It's like I feel stuck

[subtle oyster]

It’s Kitana I’m not impressed with her frame data

I don’t like what I see from it

[north mango]

Me neither tbh

[subtle oyster]

Johnny’s frame data is good as shit

[north mango]

Awful recovery, no overheads, no plus on block normals

[north mango]

Yeah he is so well made

[subtle oyster]

She doesn’t really have a decent stagger

[north mango]

I try to stagger with B2, then back away, catch them poking and do B24 into full combo. Usually works so far

Or just do 24

If they expect the full string

[subtle oyster]

2-4 is what I would do based on the move list

[north mango]

Yeah it's 0 on block

[subtle oyster]

Dang b2 is -7

[north mango]

B14 is the only plus on block string she has

But the gap is so big tho lol

[subtle oyster]

Yeah it’s slow

And duckable not a good combination

[north mango]

For someone so elegant, she surely feels like a boulder trying to fight

[subtle oyster]

Lmfao

[north mango]

You mean the kick part?

[subtle oyster]

Yeah

[north mango]

Oh crap what were they thinking

But it's ok tho, Kitana is always trash at day 0 and gradually gets buffed

[subtle oyster]

I understand why they give her a plus on block move high string for a knowledge check

But back 1 being -7 doesn’t really help lol

[north mango]

And she can't even cancel B1 into anything safe cuz none of her specials are safe on block (that are fast)

[subtle oyster]

Yeah she doesn’t really have the sauce like Johnny Kenshi and Sub have

Have you played Li Mei at all?

[north mango]

Her only sauce comes from swaggy combos imo

[subtle oyster]

That don’t do as much damage as the other characters

Lol

But yeah her combos look badass

[north mango]

Yeah. She seemed so basic at first until I saw what people have been doing with the lanterns lol

[north mango]

I barely broke 45% with her, which sucks lol

[subtle oyster]

Same I was gonna put her down then I saw the lantern shit and was like hold up

[north mango]

Exactly lmao

I saw someone do 7 lanterns in a combo

[subtle oyster]

That’s so cool

[north mango]

Wait lemme see if I can find it

[subtle oyster]

That’s hilarious lol

I think I’d prefer Li Mei over Kitana she actually has decent stagger pressure

Granted I’ve labbed Li Mei

[north mango]

Oh yeah, such as 12 and 21

[subtle oyster]

Yeah 1-2 amazing

I really hate this PS5 controller

2-1-4 is also plus 6 lmao

[north mango]

Now THAT is how you make framedata

Li Mei has literally the frame data Kitana wishes

An Overhead here, a plus frame there...

[subtle oyster]

Johnny’s overhead launcher isn’t even that minus lol

[subtle oyster]

2-1-4 also ends in a mid not a high lmao

[subtle oyster]

I’m trying to do this combo but it’s hard as shit and I don’t like the PS5 controller

[subtle oyster]

This might be hard to believe but Ninjakilla’s Johnny is better than mine

[north mango]

Yeah PS5 controller isn't the best for fighting games

PS4 controller was better for that

[gritty marlin]

Okay so like... here is a tweet about mk1 story and character spoilers... the tweet itself is censored but it has a link for the uncensored version
||https://twitter.com/thethiny/status/1693241476774273141?t=RCnlxCudkIrJQVirhUlQ-Q&s=19||

[tough rock]

I straight up don't believe that last character slot

End boss is... predictable imo. Kinda expected a massive swerve like ||Kung Lao|| being a villain

Sub Boss, no surprise

[gritty marlin]

Seems pretty out there doesn't it

I haven't seen that character in ANY of the leaks before today

[tough rock]

Ne neither. I've seen Sonya, Drahmin, Jade and a few others, but not him

[gritty marlin]

Also where does ||general shao|| come in?

[tough rock]

He probably comes in when Reiko and Motaro attack Li Mei and Liu Kang

And no I'm not censoring it because they showed that in trailers lol

[gritty marlin]

I'm saying I thought he would beore significant. But maybe he is idk

If the end boss is true.. Liu Kang did a terrible job

[vague creek]

It's his first time being god

Cut him some slack

[tough rock]

||Geras as the main villain is too simple imo. He's the only other person aside from Liu that has access to the hourglass.||

An enemy Liu Kang could never expect.

I liked my Kung Lao heel turn idea better. Not as a main villain but sub boss. Shang tells Kung Lao about being the Number 2 in the previous timeline and Geras confirms it.

Now that he's number 2 again in the new time line, he finally decides to make a name of himself, by declaring war against a God

[subtle oyster]

If we could have had Onaga as the main boss and they choose this stupid shit I’m gonna slap Ed Boon

Having said that, Johnny is the best character I could have ever asked for so I can’t stay mad long

[subtle oyster]

I’m so sick of them putting the Win Loss records in casuals cause everyone just declines matches

Like I’m just trying to chill

[gritty marlin]

I just personally ||never wanted to see kronika again|| in any way, shape, or form. I really don't like that character lol

[tough rock]

This is the one thing I wish NRS would change

[subtle oyster]

Same never again

[subtle oyster]

Yeah it’s kasuals lol who cares about win loss

[tough rock]

I started the beta 8-0 and was getting declined left and right

[subtle oyster]

I’m at like 40-3 and nobody is accepting

And I’m setting Johnny down to play Li Mei and get bodied but everyone thinks I’m a sweat

My name is also Wakeup_Uppercuts so that doesn’t help

[tough rock]

Jade wakeup D2 PTSD intensifies

[subtle oyster]

That’s the ironic inspiration behind the name

[tough rock]

Honorable mention to Shao Kahn's D2

The second best D2 in MK11

[subtle oyster]

But it’s so funny when I play. Everyone in MK is like “you must be a Jade player” and everyone in SF is like “you must be a Ken player” and everyone in Tekken is like “you must be a Mishima player”

I literally only have two complaints about the game and one is the W/L record

[vague creek]

Why'd that look so long and complex but hardly do any damage

[north mango]

Kitana in a nutshell

Above average effort for decent damage

21 hits and 3 bars for 35% damage

She got style points tho at least

[subtle oyster]

She’ll probably get buffed

[north mango]

Damage is fine imo. I just wish they buffed her strings

I just noticed that half of them are full of gaps

She needs at least one overhead, maybe give her a new normal like F2 or F3

Those are currently not assigned to anything

Give her a little overhead stomp that knocks down or something

If she proves to be incompetent in any area, then I'll switch and main Mileena

[north mango]

This was like 4 different launchers in one combo

[subtle oyster]

That was cool as shit

I’m playing some Li Mei rn

[north mango]

Thanks!

[north mango]

She is so good in this game

[subtle oyster]

She’s fun but I think Johnny is better

She’s prob pretty evenish with Liu

[tough rock]

Now I am officially done with the beta lol

Finished 23/7 and dropped Sub for Kenshi

[subtle oyster]

Kenshi is top 1

[tough rock]

You're single handedly gonna get Kitana nerfed before launch lol.

Again

[tough rock]

Out of 5

[subtle oyster]

6

Stop downplaying

Huge downplay on your part there

Kenshi players stay downplaying

[tough rock]

Forgot Kitana

[subtle oyster]

Pretty easy to forget rn

@north mango might be the only person on the planet using her

It definitely feels like Kenshi Johnny and Sub are a step above the other three

Liu is pretty solid Li Mei is pretty solid

[tough rock]

Combo Breaker Fatal Blows is... interesting

[subtle oyster]

My breaker seems kinda inconsistent

Like sometimes that shit doesn’t break

[tough rock]

It took me forever to realize breaker meter is the EX/Fatal Blow meter

[subtle oyster]

Wdym fatal blow meter

[tough rock]

I'm a few drinks in rn

Ignore half the things I say lol

[subtle oyster]

I was like my man is playing MKX rn

Maybe I ought to get a couple drinks

Wish we could play

That feeling when you duck Liu Kang’s high launcher and combo his ass >>>

[tough rock]

Here's my one combo contribution

[north mango]

If they remove her combo expression too then I won't know what to do

[north mango]

Her most loyal player since her debut back in MK2. Would never main anyone else

[subtle oyster]

I respect that

I’m definitely playing some scorpion or if someone has a fast mid then ima be looking at them too

I like my character to have both a fast mid and a long range mid (since both at the same time is impossible)

MKX and MK11 Kitanas had both of those, but this Kitana seems to have neither

Oh well, I guess Kameos are there to fill in the gaps I suppose

[subtle oyster]

Yeah same which is why I loved Liu for b1 and F4 especially with low fireball

But there hasn’t been a single character so far who has a fast mid

To my knowledge at least

[subtle oyster]

You live in Montenegro right? Do you have Wi-Fi or Ethernet?

[tough rock]

We can all breath a sigh of relief

The leaks from earlier are apparently fake

[subtle oyster]

I was gonna say it sounded too bad

@tough rock similar to your combo

[north mango]

Ethernet

[subtle oyster]

Cool I’m down to test the connection and play with you when the game comes out

The net code doesn’t feel as good as SF6

[north mango]

Where are you at, I'm sure we will do just fine

[north mango]

Omg right?

I experienced so much lag and rollback jumps

[subtle oyster]

The US. Texas to be specific

We’ll give it a shot either way

[north mango]

Oh definitely, I wanna fight you and see how it goes with the connection

I tend to have more problems against Europeans than Americans when it comes to connection for some reason

[subtle oyster]

That’s interesting. I’m assuming our ping will probably be 150+

I wanna see your kitana cause I don’t see many of them

[north mango]

I'm sure I'll come up with more stuff when the game comes out and I get proper practice mode

[subtle oyster]

And if you play Mileena then I def want to play you so I can learn how to play her

[north mango]

Because just tonight I found out she can do her wind bomb setup after Frost freeze

[subtle oyster]

Oh for sure once we finally get a lab and some more kameos

[north mango]

Which is cool, cuz she ain't ever landing that move normally

[subtle oyster]

Yeah frost is a strong ass kameo it makes me excited about what’s to come

[north mango]

Hahah thanks, I always instantly click with both Kitana and Mileena and learn them relatively fast

[north mango]

I would lab with kameo Lao and his teleport to get jumpin attack from behind

[subtle oyster]

I love Mileena so I’m always trying to play her but everyone looks so good that I have to put an order on who I wanna play first

I’ll probably try scorpion and reptile on launch and stick with Johnny and Li Mei. I want to eventually play everyone

[north mango]

Oh I feel ya. It's an easier criteria for me because my main should always be Kitana or Mileena, or some female character if neither is present

[subtle oyster]

If you like playing with a mic on then I’d be happy to share tech while we play

[north mango]

As for the men, Ermac, Reptile, Smoke and Rain look badass, I'll give them a try

[subtle oyster]

Yeah you always play the females

Reptile looks better than he ever has imo

[north mango]

Meh I play in a living room at night, so it's either too loud from my side or can't talk cuz it's too late hahah
But we'll see

[subtle oyster]

Either way it’s fine lol

[north mango]

Idk why they haven't thought of him switching between forms before, it works perfectly

[subtle oyster]

He originally did the in MK movie but I don’t think they had the technology in the early days of the game. Then I guess they just kinda forgot or something idk

His MKX design was really good imo but not enough for me to want to play him. I’ve always been fond of Reptile but I’ve never wanted to play him

[chrome shell]

I was watching some gameplay from Maximilian and the game doesn't look that bad, it looks it could be fun

[gritty marlin]

This is in regards to the leak yesterday
||https://twitter.com/JustMKollum/status/1693506715633738140?t=ylsIg4tFLZBrOdj75fIm9g&s=19||

My thoughts:
||it's just a skin

• Says only 'Smoke'
• Has the EXACT same stance
• Has the knife too. Cyber smoke with a knife? Nah son||

Also. Kitana and Liu players asking for buffs in a beta is disgusting. Let the game release first goodness gracious 😑

[subtle oyster]

Liu doesn’t need buffs lol

[subtle oyster]

I’m watching Mustard’s Kitana and she looks pretty solid

[gritty marlin]

bc she is imo

it's just the edenian community wil not rest

thank God mileena wasnt in this beta

it would've been insufferable on twitter

[subtle oyster]

She has good space control and 38% mid screen combos with frost

Johnny has absolute bonkers mix but ain’t got the neutral she does

[gritty marlin]

somebody i saw on tiwtter was getting consistent 45% with kitana

[subtle oyster]

Dang son

I didn’t play any kitana players unfortunately. But every game they say she is bottom 1

It’s tradition

[gritty marlin]

it's gaslighting

they moving early

[subtle oyster]

Shit I gotta cap back

Buff Johnny cage 😏

He needs it obv😏

With the frost kameo Kitana looks absolutely nutty

With a lot of opportunities for setups and shit

[subtle oyster]

@tough rock sigh… Rewind thinks Geras’s cmd grab is going to be a mid and you can control the side he throws you

[tough rock]

The spirit of Kotal Kahn lives on in Geras

In VA and allegedly Command Grab

[subtle oyster]

Shit is so broken

Geras players gonna have to get teebagged until they choose a different character. I will do what I can to eliminate these invaders from my timeline

[tough rock]

Picking the direction is nothing new though..

Terminator could pick which side to send you with his Alibi Back Breaker

And I kinda think Kotal's normal command grab doesn't side switch but the EX does.

[subtle oyster]

The mid cmd grab in general is just broken I meant

[tough rock]

In a game where nornal throws are highs I agree, a mid command grab is cracked

[subtle oyster]

Especially when it ticks off pokes and jabs like wtf

Ummm

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ea0at_TlY5E

Liu needs to get her ass in line

[vague creek]

New timeline new flirting

[subtle oyster]

If this means we get cooler Kombat kids this time around then perhaps this is for the best

[vague creek]

Lmao we know it's just gonna be another Cassie but this time a princess instead of a soldier

[subtle oyster]

Just throws shit instead of shooting shit lmao

[tough rock]

@subtle oyster im playing SF6 and doing MK1 inputs

[subtle oyster]

You mean like down back instead of QCB?

I just do quarter circles and half circles in MK cause it’s faster than the down back etc

[tough rock]

More so string wise lol

Like im trying to do Sub and Kenshi combos with Cammy

[subtle oyster]

Ohhh lol I gotcha

Trying to do those dial ins

[tough rock]

Massive spoilers allegedly leaked

||Noob|| is the last unknown character and is unlocked by playing Invasions

But one thing strikes me as weird is they claim an announced character is unlocked only after beating story mode

[subtle oyster]

Can you dm me the link

[subtle oyster]

A fucking battle axe

Looks badass

[kindred osprey]

Wait
We having another event today, right?

[subtle oyster]

We just had one

It was at Gamescom

[kindred osprey]

OH YESSSSS
GENERAL SHAOOOOOOO

And fuck Liu Kang
Raiden is really the chosen one?
Kung Lao deserved it so much more...

All Raiden did was SHIT in all timelines

[subtle oyster]

Kung Lao had his 6 seconds of glory being champion in MK11

[kindred osprey]

Sindel and Shao are not a couple anymore?
They were so cute in 11...

[subtle oyster]

They could be

[kindred osprey]

Also
Shujinko Kameo?

[subtle oyster]

Ye

[kindred osprey]

Maybe
Mileena and Tanya didn't seem to be but were confirmed later

Also...
SINDEL LOOKS COOL

Man
I am SO HYPED

Now two more chars for the list of "who tf do I main?"

[subtle oyster]

All I know is the Teebag taunt for Shao better be YOU SUCK and I am spamming that against everyone

[kindred osprey]

I'm still pending more to Mileena > Reptile > Shao > Kung Lao > Smoke > Shang Tsung > Sub Zero > Johnny

Yeah
Gonna main all of those
Lmfao

[subtle oyster]

I need to see Mileena gameplay breakdown

Idk why they haven’t shown it

[kindred osprey]

They probably will in a Kombat Kast like Scorpion and Johnny

[subtle oyster]

Well they’re running out of time

[kindred osprey]

Ok, so based on Shao's bio
Shao isn't a tyrant anymore?
He just has daddy issues, and is an extremist patriot?

If that's it, I'll be extremely disappointed
Idk what I was expecting of him tbh
But that wasn't it
Lmao

[subtle oyster]

Shao is power hungry and wants to take over

[kindred osprey]

Idk
I knew he was a General now, not a Kahn
And I think that is great
But I expected something like plotting to conquer all the realms for Sindel, his queen/secret lover

Idk

[kindred osprey]

That's what I wanted!

[subtle oyster]

His father is probably the rumored final boss

Which is why he has horns

[kindred osprey]

I'll guess ||Onaga||

He has always been ||half dragon, hasn't he?||

[subtle oyster]

I think so

[kindred osprey]

If he doesn't poison him, I'll be sad

Lmao

[tough rock]

Looks like my pocket Shao from MK11 is turning into a main for MK1

As soon as I saw Shao ditch the axe and throw hands I was like, "Yep, I'm maining him"

[kindred osprey]

Yup
Loved it

[tough rock]

I also think Sub Zero is gonna be the Ken of MK1

Everyone and their mother will have a pocket Sub Zero regardless of main

[subtle oyster]

I hope there are a lot of setups into the axe. If that’s the case I’m putting time into him

I already know all of Sub’s shit cause so many people played him

[tough rock]

Hopefully not as many as Kenshi/Sento setups lol

[subtle oyster]

Doesn’t look nearly as OP as Kenshi

He’s gonna ride top tier for the entirety of the game I promise you

It just looks like a way for him to combo into some damage and looks fun as shit to perform

[kindred osprey]

You know...
As I was rewatching the trailer for like, the 6th time, I noticed...
General Shao seems to be more serious than Shao Kahn, less mockery
And even tho I like the battle axe, I miss the old hammer...

But more than all of that...
I know he is a general, and therefore, a leader of some sort
But he doesn't have that boss vibe anymore...
Which makes me sad
It's what made him so hot cool in the previous timeline

The biography they released also doesn't hint anything about him even wanting to take the throne for himself or smt

On the other hand
Sindel is still empress
And acts accordingly
Couldn't be better tbh
I just want them to confirm she was cheating on Jerrod with Shao.
That'd be a GREAT plot twist

[sterile scarab]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=rUhS2MP1vp4&feature=shareb

@north mango Oliver wants your opinion on the design of the MK1 women

[gritty marlin]

how is that possible if u murdered him

[tough rock]

If he joins back he can find out Soul's opinion and much more.....

[subtle oyster]

I see dead people

[gritty marlin]

nice

actually not nice

but to each their own

[tough rock]

The next long Island medium right here

[north mango]

Some facial features are pretty similar and downgraded, which results in MK11 faces being much better (Like Sindel).
The designs are... nonsensical, for the most part.
For example, Kiitana's outfit seems like two different artist did the top and bottom part.
Tanya lost her signature weapons, stole Jade's staff and lost her white eyes.
Just to name a few.
And the new 'leaked' skins for the women don't seem that promising either.
In general, personally, it will take a long time to get used to the changes.

[tough rock]

@subtle oyster

God
Damn
It

Serious potential spoiler for MK1 story btw

[subtle oyster]

Worst decision ever

[north mango]

Also, it doesn't help that we only have 6 women in the roster at the moment. You would expect that there would be tons of diversity for such a small number, but... nope!
Back when Li Mei was revealed, many people were like 'Omg Mileena?!'.
And last night with the Sindel trailer, many have noticed that she resembles Li Mei as well (And Kitana too, but that makes sense at least).
It's as if they copy/pasted the faces and changed them just enough to not be 100% same.

[tough rock]

This is even worse than no Jade, Skarlet, or Sareena

[subtle oyster]

Even worse than no Skarlet and Sareena easy there with the Jade shit

[kindred osprey]

They were severely nerfed boob wise, but they look GREAT nonetheless
The clothes are cool af, and the faces are GREAT

[tough rock]

You'd rather have her in the game than Jade?

[tough rock]

Li Mei is the best looking female in the game so far. Fight me lol

[kindred osprey]

WTF

[tough rock]

||I lived bitch!||

[subtle oyster]

I love Li Mei too lol

[subtle oyster]

Would I rather deal with random full screen down 2’s and gimmicks 24/7 or a shit story that I’ll play a couple of times

Granted I don’t think MK1 Jade would be as annoying or rewarding for scrub gameplay

[kindred osprey]

True
I think we'll have some more tho
||Nitara|| was leaked
And I expect some DLC after the horrendous 1st pack...

I want Kameleon too
Since Reptile's race isn't extinct, both Kameleons should appear at some point...

[subtle oyster]

Sindel with a lil more makeup and darker eyebrows

[kindred osprey]

Honestly, I think she looked great in the trailer
No changes needed on her face
But she got so nerfed from 11
Lmao

[subtle oyster]

He agrees with you

[north mango]

Glad he does

Is he here with us tho?

[subtle oyster]

He’s in the netherrealm

[subtle oyster]

There’s so much shit coming out online about the game and I honestly don’t wanna see it lol

At least the story

[north mango]

I just don't wanna see anything Kitana/Mileena related and the ending. The rest I'm fine with being spoiled

[gritty marlin]

sindel was ||a milf|| in mk11 and i kinda miss that tbh. but she looks good in mk1 so it's what it's

[subtle oyster]

FoxyGrampa making Kitana look top tier

[tough rock]

A ||horny milf|| too

[subtle oyster]

Those are the best kinds of milfs

[tough rock]

||I agree||

[subtle oyster]

Don’t you bonk me

[tough rock]

I am the one who bonks

Love that

But I miss Zaddy Shao

[north mango]

I don't get the purpose of Shao's horns tho

The horned helmet fit him way more imo

Now the horns make him and Motaro too similar up close

[kindred osprey]

Me neither tbh
I just assumed it was because he is half dragon, so leftover dragon horns?

But I like it tho
Now we have something in common
||We're both horni||

Okay Rain looks cool af

No Shao or Mileena?

[gritty marlin]

sindel rain shao

with stryker motaro sareena

[kindred osprey]

Oh
GREAT
I need to see that

[subtle oyster]

Rain is definitely more in depth than JP and looks cool af

[kindred osprey]

I still wish Sareena would be main kast tho
I wanted her to finally have her romance with Bi Han

Not happening, I guess

Welp
I can just play Sub Zero and have her as Kameo

@subtle oyster

[subtle oyster]

Jade is already dead

[tough rock]

As if that means anything in Mortal Kombat

[subtle oyster]

It does when daddy boon says it

Nobody has the power that Ed does

[kindred osprey]

Does she even exist in new timeline?

Tanya just absorbed her and that's it
Lmao

[subtle oyster]

Yeah Liu mentioned her in an intro

[tough rock]

This is ironically enough where the Jade hopium began@kindred osprey

[tough rock]

The WB execs that forced them to add Mileena say otherwise

[subtle oyster]

And he added her into dogshit tier. There are fates worse than death

[round temple]

This might be a controversial/wrong take but I feel like the vocal Mileena fans who were begging, pleading and threatening for her don’t seem like the type to care if she’s low tier, just if she’s there

Very outsider perspective from me

[subtle oyster]

It’s not really controversial it’s just kind of a meme that after all that time she’s ass

[round temple]

Ah

Mb just covering my ass in case I say some dumb shit

[subtle oyster]

Actually

I think they definitely do. Edenian Stan’s are definitely always talking about Kitana and others needing buffing

But there are plenty of casuals who just wanted her too

[round temple]

Yeah fair

[subtle oyster]

Granted Mileena is hella iconic and I think it was a bad move to leave her out

She’s way more iconic than Jade

[round temple]

Actually Mileena gameplay wise isn’t the “character everyone wants but nobody plays once they’re there” archetype I was imagining so yeah checks out

[subtle oyster]

More people played her more in X cause she was pretty solid and I hope she’s good in this one

But honestly the majority of the online population picks the male ninjas

Yyyyeah

I’d rather they yank it to PS1 style graphics tbh that would be more fun

But yeah looks like a solid roster I think

[kindred osprey]

I'm actually happy with the roster tbh

Nitara looks kinda weird tho
She looks like Ashrah
And I get it, she is a demon
But I expected her to look more...
Gothic Vampire

Also...
Blocked chars and Kameos?
Maybe we'll be forced to do the story mode to unlock them?

That is so shit if that is it
Or that invasion mode

Not that I wouldn't do the story mode
I would
I love the NRS Story modes
But like...
HAVING to do it before being able to play the char I want is very shit imo

[round temple]

Oh absolutely

Unlocking stuff is cool but like it’s current year and you’re a fighting game

Think of the poor TO’s who have to unlock all that shit or set it up so they’re all ready or however that works

[kindred osprey]

Exactly
We should unlock accessories and outfits
That is cool af

But characters?

Jade is dead and never coming back

Idk why people keep asking for her

[tough rock]

Death means literally nothing in MK. Mileena died in MKX and came back in 11

[subtle oyster]

She gone

[tough rock]

$6 will bring her back around this time next year

[subtle oyster]

Gonna take a lot more than that hahaha

Try 9.99$

[tough rock]

Seeing as Kombat Pack 1 was $20 for MK11

[subtle oyster]

Then buy her by herself

Our boy didn’t win a single fight but he won life

[tough rock]

Nitara's fatality is one of my favorites so far

The 24th character is allegedly a day 1 DLC download. Ed Boon really doesn't want anyone to know

[subtle oyster]

It might be like how Frost was. You could pay for her or just play through the story

[kindred osprey]

BESIDES Shang?

Wow, the guy is really a mercenary

[tough rock]

Yep. Shang is far left, 24th character is far right and a blank Silhouette

There's also fatality leaks plenty on Twitter and reddit

[kindred osprey]

I'd love if it was Onaga

No hopes tho

[tough rock]

Ed Boon gonna troll absolutely everyone and have Cole Young the 24th character

[kindred osprey]

I'd like to create my char in a MK game again
Like Armageddon

SF just let us do that

[subtle oyster]

YOU SUOULD

[kindred osprey]

Maybe ||Shujinko||?
I feel like IF the leaks about ||Onaga|| being the main villain, he should be more than a Kameo

Deception was actually the game I played the most besides MK9
Cuz I had the Unchained version for PSP
Lol

[tough rock]

But if I had to seriously guess the last character, its either ||Kronika, Shujinko,|| or a ridiculously popular character like ||Noob, Sonya, Kano or Jade||

But I'd bet money on ||Kronika||

[kindred osprey]

Kinda feel like ||Noob|| should be there
Since ||Quan Chi is DLC, and I feel like Scorpion might kill Sub Zero...||

[subtle oyster]

Story

[kindred osprey]

First thing I'm doing is finding the anti Reptile and Mileena tech, because those two are gonna be more annoying than Sub and Scorpion

[kindred osprey]

Sadly tho...
I'll only buy it in like 2 months or so
Won't be able to play Day 1

[kindred osprey]

And Shao

And Kung Lao, and Smoke, and Sub Zero, and Nitara, and Johnny

[tough rock]

Yep

Unofficially official

[subtle oyster]

Shao is certainly on my list of 24 characters to main

So not unhappy

[subtle oyster]

It specifically says on day 1. Then you have to reroll every single day

[round temple]

eh

[kindred osprey]

LOL
I might just skip Day 1

[subtle oyster]

Your day 1 (;

[kindred osprey]

Ehhhhh
Just open the game and keep on Menu
Lmao

[tough rock]

My son got pissed at me so he sent me a link with a leaked MK1 story scene

[round temple]

What a lil demon

[tough rock]

Little does he know it really wasn't a leak because its part of the character

[round temple]

Joke’s on him

[tough rock]

I'm not looking forward to the monthly rank reset again

@subtle oyster

[kindred osprey]

Ugh
Hate that

[tough rock]

I'm just not a fan of resets in general

Just pull a SF6 and have ranked assigned to each specific character

With no resets

[kindred osprey]

I'd like that

[subtle oyster]

Yeah it’s not a great system but it’s fine

[tough rock]

I took Friday off and my wife didn't so from about noon onwards...

[gritty marlin]

W

[tough rock]

Massive

[tough rock]

This is actually pretty cool

[gritty marlin]

This by literally playing the game right? Not just invasions

[tough rock]

As far as I can tell, yes

[subtle oyster]

Baraka and reptile making the decision to not be on team jobber this time is kinda crazy

[subtle oyster]

My buddy and I just did a 5 character fantasy draft and we’re gonna fight each other with them. Tell me which teams y’all like more:

Team 1: Nitara, Tanya, Sub Zero, Sindel Rain

Team 2: Johnny, General Shao, Reptile, Scorpion, Mileena

[kindred osprey]

I'd say Team 2
All of my mains there

And Scorpion...
Eh

[sterile scarab]

does johnny have a mkx costume in mk1?

[sterile scarab]

never mind

[tough rock]

No Kross Play at launch

[kindred osprey]

Awwwww
Who plays on PS?

[subtle oyster]

That’s crazy lol

I’ll have it on PS and PC. Probably play on PC mainly cause I much prefer the controller there

[kindred osprey]

Welp...
Hope they have krossplay soon
I wanna fight y'all

[subtle oyster]

Are you on box

[kindred osprey]

PS

[subtle oyster]

Then we can play

[tough rock]

@subtle oyster your ass ain't ducking me on PS5

[subtle oyster]

Shut up you play Geras

Ain’t nobody wants to see that bald bitch

[tough rock]

Tranquilo. He's not even the main grappler apparently.

Allegedly command grab is a high

Reiko allegedly has the mid grab

[subtle oyster]

Fucking Reiko

They made the guy nobody likes more unlikeable

[tough rock]

If it makes you feel better there's like a 95% chance he's the jobber in story mode

[subtle oyster]

Yeah I know lol

And yes it does

[tough rock]

The jobber has to get a little offense in

[subtle oyster]

No

[vague creek]

Shang tsung looks kind of cool

I kind of want to play him now but I have to preorder right?

[vague creek]

I'm sure he's available through some mode

[subtle oyster]

They generally make their preorder characters available via DLC purchase after the game releases also

[sterile scarab]

so like with shao khan

kahn or however you spell it

[subtle oyster]

Yes

[sterile scarab]

well i guess ill wait and see

i don't know if ill wait for the game to go on sale before i buy

[subtle oyster]

I think you’ll be okay to wait

[sterile scarab]

probably

i played mk 11 a bit before i played strive but I didn't understand anything since it was my first fighting game

so hopefully ill understand how everything works

[subtle oyster]

You’ll pick it up fine with time

[sterile scarab]

is this just quarter circle back 1?

or does it need to be down back 1

[subtle oyster]

It can be either of your choosing

I do QCB cause I play other fighting games and it’s quicker to me

[sterile scarab]

ok so it does work

thanks

[kindred osprey]

OMGGGGGGG
I LOVED HERRRRRRR

[subtle oyster]

I love how they call that high level gameplay lol

However

Mileena looks so so so much better in this

[kindred osprey]

Yeah
Maybe I am high level...

[kindred osprey]

Her fatality looks GREAT

[subtle oyster]

I guess considering nobody has the game. This is the best Mileena player in the world right now

[kindred osprey]

You have a point
Against the best Shang too

Did the Kombat Kast show more of them both?

[subtle oyster]

Shang is awesome. He can turn into old Shang to get more strings and morph into the opponent

[kindred osprey]

I haven't seen yet

[subtle oyster]

Did not discuss Mileena unfortunately, they discussed Invasions, Reiko, and Shang

[kindred osprey]

Ehhhhhhh
Ok

Will watch later for sure

[subtle oyster]

I’ll lab her soon and can give you the rundown

So this week sometime

[kindred osprey]

Thxxxxxxx
I'll buy the game next month

Will have to buy Shang separately later too

[tough rock]

Best way to lab Mileena is by fighting my Geras

[sterile scarab]

I like super

But his thumbnails are spoiling more stuff then I’m usually fine with

[kindred osprey]

Ok so...
Just watched the Kombat Kast

Kinda
I skipped all of Reiko
Just saw he has some energy ranged stuff

Looks cool but...
That guy is just the most generic soldier Shao could have

And Shang...
I kinda didn't like him that much
I'm not usually into those characters that are 2 in 1

I get that he's not hard to use, his cmds will be the same and all
But it's just not how I'd like to play
I kinda like Shang's old gameplay, when he was basically a zoner with like 9 different fire skulls and then he just became you to beat you with your own char

He can still do that, but...
Idk, just didn't really appeal to me that much

Mileena on the other hand is just PERFECT
We saw very little on that fight against Shang and then against Shao
But from everything I've seen, she looks the best she's ever been, gameplay wise

Design wise I still have my problems
Mostly her mouth
The predator mouth is just too weird

[subtle oyster]

Ranked Kombat league is FT3 now and you cannot change your main character after a loss. You can only change your kameo

[kindred osprey]

Wow
Isn't Ft3 a bit too long for ranked?

[subtle oyster]

Idk we’ll see tho

[tough rock]

Thats.... interesting

[subtle oyster]

I love that you can’t change your main but idk how I feel about FT3

[tough rock]

I don't mind the ft3

Its the not being able to change characters after losing im not am initial fan of

[subtle oyster]

Of course we’d disagree lol

[tough rock]

Its in our blood

[subtle oyster]

If you pick a character you should finish the set with them

@kindred osprey Mileena and Sareena are a good combo it looks like👀

Sareena looks good in general

[tough rock]

But loser can switch in tournaments in ft sets. so in my eyes that is just weird

[subtle oyster]

I get that but it’s not a tournament it’s ranked

[kindred osprey]

I might just pick them
I want to main the whole kast, but the Kameos...

I'm not sure who to pick
Sareena might just be it

[subtle oyster]

Sareena looks to be popular for others

[kindred osprey]

Sareena and Frost are my favorites for now

[kindred osprey]

I like her because she was in Mythologies Sub Zero

And I ship them just so much

[subtle oyster]

@north mango kitana is nutty with sub zero

You’ll do 33% mid screen combo into kameo sub freeze and then you do the unblockable and get a free back throw into another combo

This shit is so broken I’m gonna play her

[kindred osprey]

I'll be happy to do some Mileena VS Kitana

[subtle oyster]

Hopefully I’ll be playing a bunch of characters

Ashrah looks cool as hell with the hat

[sterile scarab]

watching other people play makes me want to play the game

[vague creek]

They made Baraka a character with depth?

Good job NRS

[vague creek]

What's Reiko's gimmick?

[subtle oyster]

There’s a lot of depth to this game it’s great

[subtle oyster]

He’s kind of a brawler/grappler

[vague creek]

Not gameplay wise, I meant what's his schtick?

Havik is a zombie ninja, Reptile is a reptile ninja

[subtle oyster]

A jobber. But in all seriousness he’s a soldier in the outworld army. Probably like a Captain to Shao

[kindred osprey]

Then again, he's the most generic soldier Shao could have
I literally can't see anything more than a jobber for him

[light wren]

I’m coming over and we’re playing mk1

[subtle oyster]

Name the date

[kindred osprey]

Y'all doing MK1 Story mode?
When we gonna discuss spoilers?
Lmao

[light wren]

A month from now

[kindred osprey]

LOL
Not even with the ||SPOILER|| tag?

[light wren]

Nope

Because it’s like what if Somone new to the server and discord joins really hyped for mk1 taking their time and click those black tags unknowingly?

[tough rock]

Then its on them for voluntarily clicking the black text imo

[light wren]

1ms timeout

[kindred osprey]

Ok...

[tough rock]

[subtle oyster]

Rn but I won’t discuss spoilers

[kindred osprey]

I still haven't seen the whole game, so me neither

I wanna see it all before really talking about it

[subtle oyster]

The story is basically Liu Kang skullfucks outworld into submission while Geras is a walking punching bag that gobbles balls

That’s why @tough rock wants to play him

[tough rock]

Step on this please

[subtle oyster]

Lego fatality is honestly too cruel

If the Devs got PTSD from other shit then that will definitely do it

[tough rock]

I'm home, MK1 is installed. And I have an hour until wife is home

Straight to story mode for me

[subtle oyster]

I’ll spoil Megan Fox’s VA

[tough rock]

Sucks doesn't it?

[subtle oyster]

It’s worse than Rousey

[tough rock]

That is impossible

[subtle oyster]

You’ll hear soon enough

[subtle oyster]

Story is fantastic tho
