I'm unattracted to most characters in MK for some reasons
None that I can figure out at
No waifus?
It really is off of coolness and what they do.
Not a single one
Wow
Picky Tyler
I have no restrictions
I find almost everyone hot
Lmao
Just no women with visible muscle
Oh yeah, that does suck
Where is Sheeva?
She's got 4 arms minus points.
Noooooooo
That's a plus for sure
Nah multi armed beings minus that one girl bug. Are a no go for Tyler in MK
Ahhhhh
Yeah, I hate her too
She'd be super cool and cute if it wasn't for the spider parts...
I just REALLY want Yamazki in this game as a Kameo
He'd fit right in
Ed should stop bringing people from old movies and start getting people like Yamazaki and AKI
Would fit right in
Lol
Yamazki would have a sick Fatal and add his counter as one of assist moves it'll be great
Yamazaki as a kameo would go super hard
I get the distinct feeling that won’t happen though for many reasons 
I want Liu Kang as Kameo so I can play Shaolin Monks duo
That sounds really obvious when you say it like that
Yeah but noooooo
Only Lao is kameo
Wait how come they didn’t put in mortal liu kang as a kameo now that I think about it
I could play Lao with Lao tho...
Multiples of Lao and the two posterboys are fine but why not Liu?
Exactly
Because bicycle kick would be hard to balance
I forget if there’s any other characters who are both
That's what I'm going with
I mean, we have Cyrax rn
Would it be THAT bad?
Good point
I mean if it didn’t like restand it might work better
Johnny will be DLC
Oh yeahhh
This weekend it's gonna Shang time for me.
Imagine if you call him in and he calls in his stunt double like mk11
LMAO
I always laugh a lot with Johnny
I used to secondary him in X
He was my main in 11 when I played it
But like not really cuz I used him in towers and let the ai do it but I played erron way more
My main in 11 was Lao
Also super funny interactions
Everyone just destroys him
LMFAO
Ohhhhh
Erron
He was cool af
Hope he comes back
Something about him just being a cowboy dude made me like him
(This is coming from the girl who likes Stryker)
There is nothing funnier than beating the game with them and then realizing
I'm just a guy with a gun and I just killed a literal god
LMFAO
Shoutouts to random people in fighting games who show up with guns
Gotta be one of my favorite genders
Oh yeah
MK has lots of those
May we never forget Mokap
I mean
Johnny kinda is just a normal dude now, right?
No more green stuff, he is just an actor who studied martial arts to make his movies
I don’t know mk1 lore so can’t say for sure but I kinda just assumed he still has powers given the kind of hazy afterimage thing that he has
True, he does still have that
But from what I know up until now...
Nope, he's just a normal dude
Hope he gains back his green powers in some way
Surprisingly no guns in MK1
I mean, Stryker is a kameo
Better than nothing tbh
That’s true with his grenades
Plus
I have a feeling we might be getting Kombat Kids as DLC
I kinda like the “he’s just a dude” angle, makes him have to work for people’s respect and not just be worthy of it immediately because he was born with green superpowers
Wait does he act like that at all or did I misread his whole character
Just a hunch since Takeda is confirmed
Nope, he still is just the same Johnny tbh
Still there for the fame and glory, besides being genuinely a good guy and comical relief
I really like him like that tho
Happy they didn't change him
@kindred osprey I can play in a few
Will be on in like..
40min to an hour?
Gf almost sleeping...
Lol
Ah ok I was probably thinking of like mk1 or movie johnny oops
Wait I think I misread that actually
I need sleep
Lol
It's still early
00h25min here
Can not wait to learn Shang combos and only kill with zoning somehow
I'll be honest, I tried Shang a bit
I like him a lot, but doing his age change mid combos is HARD af
For me, at least
I hate stance canceling tbh
In his case, not canceling
But like, doing 2 cmds before an attack connects
Ehhhhh
I'm good with that. His old man combos I think are safer than the young ones
Yeah, you'll probably do super well
I love Shang, but...
I don't think I can play him
Same for Kenshi
The guy looks cool af but negative edge is smt I simply cannot do well
I do well doing stuff and then defusing a bomb on my controller as well
LOL
Your execution is awesome tbh
I have to train a lot before doing any hard combos
AH
Also...
Why would I do any of that if Sareena Kameo gives me that same dmg but with a MUCH easier combo?
LMK!
I think I'm ok to go rn if you are
LET’S GO!!!
Because scorp has utility with an armored back the hell up button
Lemme log off PC and get on PS5 rq
👉👈
I mean, Smoke does have an armored wake up move
Unsafe on block tho
I'll inv
Nah scorpion pulling you out of a super negative move I think is great. I just hate that it has to be special cancelable
Sounds good!
Already invited
I didn’t get it
I’m hammered drunk rn this is gonna be so fun
Love me a mash fest😈
Oh yeah
Gonna be aweasome
Got it
Stand by your PSN name
Joining
I actually never wakeup uppercut lmao
Everyone thinks I’m a scrub online but I just body them it’s awesome
It’s not really a stray it just kinda happened to happen that way
I gotta get warmed back up to PS5 it feels different than PC
Your goro pressure has already gotten so good
I taught you that shit and I get hit by it lmfao
LOL
Yeah
Thank you so much
Let my drunk ass try to showcase what I learned on Mileena but I’m having trouble getting my Cyrax out rn. Idk if it’s the controller or that I’m hammered af
Ok
It's settled
My MK main goal is to beat you up
I want you to teach me Mileena tech eventually
Will do
How does it feel to be drunk?
I've never been
Every time I drink, I just get SUPER sleepy
Oh my fucking god it gave me cyrax
Lmao
Oh well the game desynchronized it’s a sign
Of the times
Sorry about that
Rlx!
Invited again
Mileena mash fest mirror match let’s go
Oh
You weren't Rain?
No idk rain
CHEAP
I wish this game had SF6 netcode
Yes.
It’s so far behind ugh
Lag?
Yeah but jot as bad as the KOTH
You certainly deserved the first win
You’re playing well tho!
Really well!
I’m curious to try hosting it. One more and I’ll try to host. Im curious why my combos are dropping and I’m wondering if it’s the p2 bug
If that’s cool?
Ofc!
Wait I don’t have you added as a friend it says what’s your gamertag?
Invited. Sorry I’m not used to the PlayStation UI
I'll add you on my account when I buy the game
Lol
Fuck
I was looking at your bars and kameo
Lmao
Do you notice a difference?
Okay that’s odd it feels a lot better on my end now
I’m dropping combos cause I’m drunk not because connection lolll
LMAO
Ping too high
LOL
I need to pay for a better brain company
Your fundies are getting better👀
I'm learning...
I cannot do her combos on PS5 I was flawless with her on PC a second ago😡
Input lag?
I’m not sure cause I’m more drunk, I have a different controller and I’m playing on a new tv so who knows lol
Oof
Forgot they came back
And wow
Gimme the notations for that Ashrah combo later
I haven’t practiced this Mileena combos on PS5 that’s the problem I think
I can give you all the tech for Ashrah
Ashrah is so dope
Tbf my Ashrah is better than my Mileena so switch back if you need to!
Dub?
AHhhhhh
makes sense
Dub
Yeah
One sec
Ima take a shot. New rule. Every game you win I’ll take a shot
If I die then you’re a good player
Gonna do my best to avenge Oliver
Do your worst
Starting now I guess
I don't really like Vodka tbh
I'm all about Sake and Liquor
Vodka is liquor
Ah, true
But I mean the flavored ones
Mint and Cherry specially
My favorites
Also my favorite Ice Cream and Chocolate flavors
Sorry that took me so long I literally lost my controller
LMAO
It’s my built in input lag
No more smoke tho idk that mfer
I’m not gonna let you spam smoke bomb 50/50’s to get me to chug vodka
Nah
My Smoke needs LOTS of work
Honestly, I think you would be good with her
LOL
Yeah
It does I just don’t know the punishes or the tech on him
But you have great spacing I feel like you would like Ashrah or Kitana
But you’re also random with the ball rolls so the goro kameo is kinda nice with you innit
Yes.
I need some random BS
That’s the beauty of this build is sometimes you have to be random.
And that’s okay
Goro makes it okay
You have great fighting game fundamentals
Zaddy Goro
I am a long time SF and Kof player
I see that you can be great at MK too.
Simple tip I wanna see out if you is armor on wakeup more
I kinda don't wanna do it without Goro and I always spend him on mindless pressure and random balls
You can make it safe with Goro
LMAO
That’s fair
The range is impressive
RANDOM ASS FATAL BLOW AFTER I JUST COMPLIMENTED YOUR FUNDIES😡😡😡
LMFAOOOOO
You said it was good to be random
Yeah Ashrah is a great character if you have fundamentals and good spacing
Ashrah is a great character cause she’s also broken
But I'm learning stuff
Up block can be used to punish a lot of strings
Don’t wakeup fatal blow in this game it’s not a reversal super. That’s why I say wakeup armor
Yeah, I noticed it loses to meaties
But like...
In neutral, why not?
Lmao
Jk
I know you are! And you’re doing great! But unlike other fighting games it’s almost never advantageous to wakeup fatal flow in this game
Cause you’ll lose the game like you just did
You’re totally fine! I’m loving our matches
Me too
Lol
Just giving tips and I’m hammered
I MESSES UP
I’m getting thirsty I need a shot😡
Idk why I keep going for low sau
Might have to switch back to Mileena to give you a free one
It is just as punishable as roll and nets less dmg
I gave you that
LMAO
I told you I was thirsty
Cmon, I did well
You did
I’m so auto pilot when I’m drunk I kept doing a thing I told myself not do like 5 times
You definitely did!
By sunrise, I want that whole bottle down
I was just making a joke cause I said I needed a shot
LOL
I get it
Let's see next match
I’m gonna tryhard with Johnny and see if you can beat him
Ohhhhhhh
Let's see
Okay sorry one sec
I had to take the shot and go to the bathroom not trying to take this long
Lol
You currently have more wins on me than anyone else in the discord tho
What did I say😡
Ok
Got it
It's gonna be hard
But I'm gonna do it
It’s cool. I had to work that habit out in MK11 too
SORRY
It's 2h30min
Not thinking that hard
I your neutron connection ping too high?
I couldn’t even type that out right mine def is
LOL
Yeah, it's playable tho
Idk if mine is tbh
I can punish bad habits better with Johnny
He’s my best drunk character cause I spent the most time with him
Honestly
Still learning the MU
Never do that ever in this game
I should stop
SF6 in my head
I was gonna say
I’m killing you cause you’re doing shit on wakeup
Either armor on wakeup or block
Seldom you wanna jab when you see the opportunity or when you condition them with armor
Yeah, jab and grab are shit on wake up
Too much Kof and SF
I'll figure it out
Two more and ima switch to Liu Kang cause I’m getting thirsty Luna
I saw you up block idk what’s going on tbh
Lol
Sorry
I'm doing my best to lwarn
It does but it’s hard against a fast mid
You’re doing great!
I tried too
But none of the string are overheads so it was dumb
Yeah I don’t do low overhead mix with Johnny much I plus frame and frame trap
I’ll give you two more then before Liu or do you want Liu?
One more
Okay
ALMOST
You have the right ideas👀👀👀
I know what you’re doing
I see the adaptations
I’ll give you another
DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK FOR ME TO FIGURE IT OUT?
But you have the right idea
LMFAOOOOO
Okay
I'll beat up Johnny some other day
YOU ARE ARMORING AND BLOCKING ON WAKEUP THO SEE
If I take another shot I’m going back to Johnny I gotta pace myself Luna
Yeah, I get it
Much better now
LOL
Ok
I’m not about to die of alcohol poisoning cause of fucking ball roll
I need a one game window
I need a one game window of forgiveness here
I forgot my buttons
I’m fucking terrible at switching characters when I’m drunk I need like a warmup game at least
But you’ll beat me again soon
I’m too drunk to fucking play Liu
I thought that would work
Didn't
I thought I could punish like a normal human but no
Apparabtelt nit
I can’t spell either
Sorry
I don't speak German
Lemme go Kitana for a game and see. If you win once then I’ll take the shot
Ok!
That was terrible
Lmfao
I'm half jew, so...
Never.
That’s exactly what that sounds like😂😂😂
This is my day 1 kitana and she’s better than half my other characters cause she is OD and people downplay her
Late Goro
I love her so much
Just noticed you have Goro too...
I was looking at your Kameo bar...
Shit man
Why do I do that?
I have probably given you so many crackhead bad habits because of this Mileena build lol
It’s okay lol
And I was spamming R1
"Where TF is Goro?"
That’s why I probably should have started you out on another build but fuck it you’re doing really well!
Okay you got the brutal I’m taking a shot
If I get a couple more days with her tho I’ll have so many more mind games and combos I’m not doing
I’m loving her so far
Omfg
I got hit so many times for that
And I punished Liu and your Mileena so well doing it
Cheers Luna
Yeah your spacing with her is perfect
She can space well which you’re good with but also be random which you are lol
And honestly you’re getting so much better!!!
She is meant for me
Lol
So much fun
Yeah!!!!!
I feel like I'm 30× better than on our first game
I literally notice it
You’re armoring on wakeup more and you’re also hit confirm your jab string more
I'll try for a game or two
Maybe Shao is the play today
I’m drunk and I’m like I’m beating her ass and I look at my health bar and it’s a lot lower than I thought it would be
I GOT IT
Armored launchers are the bane of my existence
One sec
I literally hit rematch too after I already picked the wrong kameo
If I didn't drop it so much
Man, I HATE the timing on the Ex knee into axe drop
My brain lag crazy rn
Man
Why is Goro so late?
Lmao
I SWEAR TO GOD THIS IS THE SCRUBBIEST PLAYSTYLE EVER AND ITS KINDA FUNNY
LMAOOOOOOOOO
I’m respecting goro too much I think
This is like Sol Badguy safe on block full screen DP’s fair
If you try to armored launcher 5 times in a row again I will Teebag into fatality just to send a message
That was hilarious tho lmfao
One sec
I'm still laughing
It was fucking bullshit. I prob could have punished more but you’ve conditioned me with Goro from the 10009000 random ball rolls earlier
I didn't even have Goro most of the time
I just did it either way
LMFAOOOOOOO
Cage rejected
You have the right idea just armoring at the wrong time
But you have the right idea
Except on wakeup just keep doing that
Problem is that the wake up only occurs after a 40% combo I ate
Problem is you’re a lil too random and rely on Goro too often
So we play then you do some unsafe moves and call goro then you do it again when you don’t have meter
You gotta be a bit more patient
But you’re getting better
Damn I ducked that up
But yeah that’s how you beat Johnny is just spam safe on block armored moves
Time to take a shot
Got it
More patience
That’s why Mileena is meta
I gave you the meta build and I regret it
I’ve created a monster
With Tarkat
LOL
Thank you so much
But I still have a long way to go
If you ever need my assistance with Kof or SF, I'll be there
Cheers
Even tho I am a crackhead in those
Cheers
Only character I like is Vanessa
But I just don’t have the energy to lab two other characters to make a team so I never play
SF bored me
LOL
Pick Shermie
No labbing, just cmd grab spam ftw
I wanted to play Leona but I feel like she’s ass
Like worst character I’ve ever played in a fighting game idk how people use her
She is mid low tier
Not that bad tbh
I play the one who's arguably bottom 1
Billy
People say Vanessa sucks but I love her and her combos are fun
So I do 1v1’s with Oliver with Vanessa
I feel like she's mid tbh
Far from bottom, far from top
Every tier list has her at bottom
LOL
Whyyyyyyy
One sec sorry for the wait btw
She used to be top 1 on launch
But they murdered her with the nerfs
I mean idc. I’m not one to downplay my characters. I think all my characters I play in MK are goated even Kitana
And Idek her combos
SNK tends to murder some chars sometimes
Apparently NRS does too with Sub
Me neither tbh
I do downplay Billy tho
Cuz he's the worst char I ever mained in any FG
If I had to pick a KoF team I’d probably pick Vanessa and Blue Mary and then idk who else
Has to be a female tho i gotta go all women for whatever reason
But like...
I'm a loyalist
I'll pick Mileena in every game she's in
Eventhough most of my MK mains are male
Luong
Closed Team
I respect that
I don’t mind Luong but idk
King maybe also at point
Oh
King is super easy to learn and very solid
That gives me three different play styles
But honestly my problem with the game is I only fell in love with one character in a 3v3 game
I have 3 extremely heavy rushdown chars with gimmicky and crackhead options
Like if MK was 3v3 I’d cum in my pants but I just wanna play Vanessa
Hehe
Like I just thoroughly enjoy doing 1v1’s with Vanessa
Okay I’m hammered. Wanna rematch?
Wait
Pick Shao
I’ll go Kitana
LMFAO
Ok
I wanna get more reps in with her tbh
Crackhead Daddy Shao ftw
I told you to armor more on wakeup and here you are doing an armored launcher and keeping it safe with Goro 24/7
It’s complete bullshit btw
But I can’t believe I told you to do this
LMAO
Better than jab and pray
Everything I do is calculated. Unless I’m drunk then it’s like 60% but still
I HAVE SAFE ON BLOCK ARMOR NOW TOO BITCH
Idk what to do with him
Buttons to use tbh
IT DOESNT LAUNCH INTO AN ENORMOUS COMBO BUT FUCK IT
LMFAOOOOOOO
Lollll it’s okay. Let’s play a few and see if you can adapt like you did with Mileena
I’m really loving Kitana
Yup
She feels perfect for me
I really like Shao too
He is the secondary
My drunk ass literally stood there and blocked high THREE TIMES while you casually swung your hammer and hit me for the low lol
I just haven't really worked on him yet
Shao’s axe is so long it’s hard to whiff punish
WHAAAAT
THATS BULLSHIT
I fucking hate my life
Hehe
This feels like such a bad mu for Kitana cause she can’t back dash this
Ima figure this shit out tho
Oh my god if that would have beaten my wakeup
I would have cut my arm off
One sec
Ok
It probably would've if I hadn't B3 before it
I should never have shown you the goro kameo
That was my best game with her so far I think
I just executed well
After 23 shots
I’m proud of myself
Brooooo
It did
Nah fuck that I’m whipping that ass till I die of alcohol poisoning
I hate that he has a F2
All of those overheads were supposed to be just standing 2
LMAO
Can I ask why are you drinking so much today?
And that killed me
I’m a depressed alcoholic and I do this a lot
I owe you a shot btw
One sec
Not to be the boring mom, but...
You need to stay alive, you know
Cheers
I’ll go to the netherrealm
With my friend Oliver
LMFAOOOOOO
All I’m gonna say is
People don’t know how to simply drive a car when they’re at 0.08 BAC. Im at like 700 and blocking safe on block armored launchers
It’s honestly a fucking skill
Bro
Last ome
Idc
LMFAO
Next Mileeam
With Goro in the middle
Keeping them safe
Lmao
4 arms divided by two is still two each
So it’s perfect balance
I’m proud of you tho and hope you keep playing
Broooo
Wtf
My power is out
Super fun
If you're still there, I should be on in like...
3h or 4h
Lmao
SUPER GGs!!!!!!!!
Loved the set
And I feel like I learned A TON
If I’m on in 3 to 4 hours I’m gonna be even more fucked uo than I am currently but fuck it ping me
Will do!
Yeah you armor a lot which is what you need to do with the character
And your spacing and whiff punishing improved
Hit confirms improved
Everything improved
Or maybe I’m just hammered out of my ass but I don’t think so
You got a lot better and I’m glad
Yessssss
Thank you so much Oliver Murderer Sensei!!!!!
I haven’t seen anyone run Goro with Shao but the fact he gets a plus on block armored launcher makes him cheesy as all fuck
But I did teach you this
And now I need to figure out how to beat it
I actually have no idea who to run with Shao
Lmao
Hey but forreal tho
I'll test and see if Cyrax does the same for Shao and Mileena
If you were to rank my top 3 chars who would you choose?
Johnny 1 Ashrah 2 Kitana 3?
Yes
Exactly
Okay from now on. I’m focusing on Kitana over Mileena because I find her more fun too
I could have ran scorpion I totally forgot
I felt really hopeless against Johnny and Ashrah on the beginning
Took A LONG while to adapt
Cool!
Thank you so much for the Mileena stuff you gave me
Let me explain the mind game against Johnny when I’m sober please? You’ll encounter so many of them and I can show you when you armored correctly and when you did not.
Oh please
I'll need it for ranked
But the tech to beat him badly are safe on block armored moves. It fucking destroys him
But if you know WHEN to do it, you’ll murder them
I'll keep that in mind
Goro does that well
Yeah he keeps a lot of unsafe shit safe or even plus which is fucked up
So does cyrax
But in different ways
@kindred osprey I think you should also learn a character with an opposite playstyle with unsafe armored moves and then you’ll be fucking goated cause it will take away some of the habits from the other playstyle. I think you would be really good with Ashrah and Sareena like I run and I can teach you that
She’s fucking busted
With Hsu Hao in MK Hell after her bs in 11
Thank god she gone
Praise the Elder Gods
Liu did it right this era
2 bars for a mid cmd grab🙏
Hallelujah
TIL Geras has a glitched Brutality
I'm watching the 3rd MK TNS
When rain sets up a low portal into his overhead starter, how do you block that?
I’m not sure I imagine block high

There's a time stamp there but he absolutely destroyed the other player
I might tbh
I'm really interested in her, Smoke and Reptile tbh
@MK Matchmaking
I want MK9 Sheeva back
Lol
And man
Hsu Hao really is the most forgettable char in MK history, right?
I'm down
Great!
If I wasn't addicted to cyberpunk I would be there
I gotta get back around to playing cyberpunk
I didn't even buy it
I bought it day 1
I think my brother has tho
But I haven't played
THE SKIN
Looks so cool
LMAO
YESSSSSS
Me neither but I need to
Reptile going good
I wanted invisibility...
Wtf
That was the overhead
Idek how to do the fatality
YESSSSSSS
I'll be back in a minute
Ok
That's literally what Shao Kahn does to Geras in Mk11 aftermath
Even has his hammer too
Ggs@kindred osprey
Who let this man Reiko zone?
It's an NRS game. Almost everyone must zone
Every single character in an NRS game will either have a fireball or an anti zoning move
I'm also slowly getting comfortable with Kenshi
@subtle oyster what meterless bnb are u using with goro to extend off her 11 and low? Im doing this for 300+ but idk if theres another optimal route instead
Not Shao...
Isn't that axe stab considered a low projectile?
AH
True, it is
Just too slow to win any projectile wars
Just like Geras' sandstorm
@MK Matchmaking
Need help figuring out a Kameo but I have the worst Shang Tsung anyone's ever seen
If anyone wants to play later let me know though
Sorry I was taking a nap. I’ll clip what I’m doing. That’s pretty much what I’m doing tbh. I don’t have combos with her rn
Goro gives 112 confirms which is important for her imo
@subtle oyster
I know you don't play him often. But what assist type do you think fits Shang? I've been aggressively flipping through the Kameo's
I know Kung Lao is an option for zoning. But Darrius is there for mix and confirms off of other buttons.
Jax has some set ups and stuff
@remote mountain something simple like this
i'll do some kitana matches later if you'd like
Lao is good for zoning and pressure also
I know that hat is like plus 2 on block I think
I mean I'll stream some matches or put up some set ups.
Like it's not high but old form gets 30% out of a Darrius overhead launcher
Since it's like Shang doesn't really need help in zoning
yea im down im not home rn but ill be on later
Sounds good
u on? I can run some for an hour or two
I’ll be probably be on in about 20
aight @ me and lmk
Is anyone on this morning?
So far I feel like I need a much better idea of how to zone and use his buttons
@wind hedge im free for like a half hour or so
Alright, I'm using a character I picked up yesterday so please be nice
Ah alright be there shortly
Ah Kenshi. Where's he unsafe moves even?
Alright, not the day to play Shang
I haven't gotten that far with Kenshi yet to know whats unsafe off the top of my head
Kenshi seems like a mess of plus buttons and one of the stupidest D1 I've seen
Man, I might have to go back to KOF
Alright, this isn't your fault. This is all me but I got about 2 more game in me.
Yeah GGs
Ggs
I don't think I'm good enough to swing at you
You can only get better
It's hella possible to just plateau super early
You're incredibly God like. I teched like 1 throw
One tip I noticed during the last two fights is your entire Liu Kang game plan seems to revolve around his B13 launch string.
Its great for stagger pressure and strike throw mixups and I'm not saying don't use it, but learn a few other non kameo specific routes
I have the routes, but like 22 EX just doesn't happen when I want it to. The F13 starts with a high, and F4 string I just don't expect anyone to get hit.
F13 is a true block string that isn't punishable on block
Anyone who's played MK11 has PTSD flashbacks from Liu's F4 and its virtually the same as in 11
It starts with a high
That's why I don't do it often
If people duck a lot in neutral there no reason to use that route
So I'm left with like low kicks and the 2 mid strings
Of course I'm not gonna use it often
You should use it though. And I'll show you some clips explaining why
MK1 has something called gaps that are in certain strings
You were ducking quite often, even in front of me. I couldn't figure out a reason why to even do that
I know what a gap is, a lot of characters have gaps in their strings that ends up with the person blocking getting hit for trying to block
F434. The 3 into the 4 has a gap
Its mostly die to the fact that Liu and Shang don't have a low starter and your only option was a throw. And when I see the throw startup I know to immediately let go of block and I get a full combo
Side note Shang does have a low starter but you'd have to full send it since you only have one button to confirm off of it
Because most if Liu's high strings don't have a gap in them and aren't punishable so why not use them
Since they're probably gonna duck them. That's the only reason.
I tried to 22 but you ducked the first hit and hit me with D2
At that's when high's weren't gonna work from that point onwards
I'll probably be back on later once I'm in a better state of mental.
@tough rock
The only low starter I found so far
Just because I duck and punish it doesn't mean you should never use it again.
I've seriously played every NRS game that has come out except X and kind of have the blueprint already in my head of how kombat works
@subtle oyster and I are probably the most tenured active NRS players in the server and we know the ins and outs of the game and past nrs games
What I'm trying to say is, don't get discouraged if you get soundly defeated by someone leaps and bounds better than you. Focus on asking yourself questions mid round like
did I whiff punish a lot? Or is my opponent playing patiently?
Am I neutral ducking any fireballs throws out and not block ducking? (Fireball hits for chip damage)
Does my opponent always crouch block randomly in neutral? (I'm guilty of this) and am I catching the neutral blocking with throws?
Am I upblocking any telegraphed overhead attacks? Jump ins mostly, but also any overhead really
There's about a million more questions like these but I can't think of them all right now
Ah it's just a really bad habit I have. If I someone and lose so hard feel out classed. It makes me question if I can even play the game I'm trying to play. Which is funny because I didn't even get liked perfected 4 times in a row or something
It just was a bad morning
Anyone on rn?
Or will be on in a bit
@tough rock @kindred osprey @wind hedge @remote mountain @fiery thistle
@subtle oyster I'll get on at halftime
Of which game
Lol
What’s up?
At giving me player 1
Legit me too with my Liu Kang combos
Idk if Liu is affected. I haven’t noticed it yet on any character I play
I've only noticed it with Geras
Bruh i swear I'm pressing FR1 to call sub
Okay I don't like Liu
Got absolutely no range normals
I've actually never played Scorpion before
But his hellfire special not being unblockable is straight bs
The cyrax chip makes him bullshit
Lile that's been unbloackable since like Deadly Alliance
Yeah but but you're still able to dash in and punish Scorpion
I'll do it exactly at 60 seconds
Prob not good against Kitana cause of her b2
Idk why these combos are dropping and it’s making me angry
At this point I'm just trying to vibe with ner characters
He needs another mid attack
I'd ask to join but I know snake and I lag when we play together
Restart and reinvite
Bf3 bloody bolt
Nitara has bugs
She has a dash bug
That spends a bar of meter occasionally
I figured that out watching Deoxys
Ashrah is goated
it super is
Nitara is kinda ass
The fact scorpion can’t shimmy pisses me off
Were you lagging again?
I wonder if it’s the servers
Are you up blocking my jumps or flawless blocking them?
How the hell do you play Johnny?
Up blocking
You’re fucking good at it
Thanks
Second thing I learned how to do after I learned Geras
I need to start doing that
My inputs aren’t coming out
Well what a random select
Least fair random select ever
I have no idea what I’m doing now lol
My anti airs go right through you
Aight that’s my last one and ima take a break
Gg’s
Ggs
I really hope they do something with this netcode. No reason we should be lagging like that
Yeah it has its moments of good and not good
I also think host and p2 have different lag. I lagged less playing Luna on p1 and you lagged less playing me on p1
It’s weird cause Kombat league is usually okay so I’m curious if it’s a server issue
I’ll be back on in like 30ish tho if you wanna play again
Alright curious if I'm wasting my time. What do y'all do think about this?
Either Shang or Darius can go first
How fast does Darrius regen there?
Cause spending two bars on a combo is quite a bit
Slow, since he sucks for stuff like this.
But using him for only the overhead
Takes one and such
That’s my gripe with it. The damage is good but the fact it blows all your kameo meter is tough
I'm trying really hard to test this one thing
It’s up to you tho and what you think is fun
But the bot isn't D1 on block
His D4 is -6 and has pushback
And I can throw Darrius off of it
So I'm messing with that and trying to see if I can get jabbed at that distance
Down 4 is a good poke if you want to play spacing due to the pushback. So you can down 4 into back dash to try to whiff punish stuff like a jab
A lot actually lol
I figured out after random selecting that Rain has a mid so I might fuck with him.
Also so sorry bro I passed out on the couch
Can also Kara cancel his overhead into grab
Has to be the most disgusting mix in this game tbh
all g i just played some bg with friends
Okay dope. I’ll be on today if you wanna play
yea ill prob play some in like 30 mins if ur on
That’s perfect. I’ll prob be done eating by then
im hoppin on rn lmk if u trynna run it
Yessir I’ll be on in 5
What’s your steam again?
@remote mountain lmk when you’re ready
mb was appearing offline lmao
THE KITANA PLAYERS LIED TOO
52% ONE BAR.... EXCUSE ME
💖 188
While not as important as meter, isn't spending both usages of the Kameo pretty rough
It’s 52% tho. Scorpion doesn’t provide a ton of utility to Kitana outside of combos tbh. She also has really good meterless combo routes and doesn’t depend on meter or kameo meter for combos
And yes the Kitana community downplays the character every single game
Every
Single
Game
I see I see. I have a route with Tanya that does something similar with scorpion. Like meterless it's around 288 with only one use
But it caps out at like 45 I think with one meter and 2 Scorpion uses
So going back on what I said previously
I personally don’t find it advantageous to use, for example, two Sareena’s in one combo for an additional 4-5% if you are going to need her Sareena launcher again in the round.
Or if you depend on the utility of the kameo in neutral
Or for pressure etc
2 kameos for about 38% seems like there could be similar options for 1 kameo bar
Unless the recharge is quick with that kameo but I’m not familiar with it
I'll have to record it later
But his only other Kameo use is pulling someone out of dodge
But like 50+% is a fucking shit ton and can definitely make sense for a cash out. And it’s cool to flex on mfers
She can pretty much get 40% meterless in the corner anyways so he’s in a great position here
He pretty much is 1 whiff punish away from winning that round now
Alright is anyone gaming?
I can be on in a couple hours if you wanna play later
If I'm still on sure
Man I'm wondering if NRS is ever gonna say their opinion on their balance or show me character usage stats
They don’t need to balance it this early but yeah Johnny and Baraka character usage at high ranks is quite high I think
Man Avirk isnt running double scorp anymore, hes swapped to Cyrax too lmao
prob a good sign for me to swap to cyrax too
probably, he still gets the same combo extensions from BNBs, more pressure/guaranteed dmg which he needs, and can combo off his fullscreen low or be safe from it if blocked
just makes too much sense
You can combo off that fucking sweep? Lol
yea, goro and scorp kameo also can do it
Im sure with Cyrax its harder since scorp and goro tele behind but its still useful so you arent so minus
also getting a full combo from throw is nice since scorp has decent strike/throw mix cuz his mids suck
The meta rn is playing towards chip damage and that’s lame😩
it really is, it also gives a shit ton of meter
ambush kameos that are plus on block are fucking nuts
Damn, I just want to hear NRS opinion on Shujinko
Also perhaps Tanya even though she's pretty good but people don't like her
I knew before the game even came out I wanted plus on block shit and pressure with my kameo but not for chip
Somewhat justified in Mk11 because she got the Sub Zero beta to launch nerf
If you're still on my wife said she'd play lol
I'm busy cooking
Ah probably not now
No worries. She's just grinding invasions for me lol
She was just boring not bad in 11
She was fun until they kneecapped her fan combos
Yeah literally the one fun part about her
Where you had to spend a variation point for up fan just to get cool corner combos and then they nerfed it while dick riding Joker and Cetrion
How many ambush assists are there that are plus on block?
It's like Sektor, Striker, and Cyrax right?
Goro too
Kano too
Oh yeah, forgot about those 2
I just labbed the most broken Kitana shit ever and I’m excited to test it against you guys soon
I’m about to troll harder than aFoxyGrampa in ranked
My problem was I didn’t really have a good anti air with her and now I found an amazing anti air that leads to like 50-70%💅🪭
lmk if u trynna run it tonight for a bit
ill prob be playing scorp/cyrax tho cause im trynna learn that kameo but its def an annoying playstyle to go against lmao
I can play for a bit
It’s fine lol I don’t care
aight im hopping on rn, vc?
@tough rock
We are destined to have rival characters/teams but weirdly also prefer the same two fighting games
Jokes on you im not a Giants fan
I wouldn’t be either
I love the NFL but actually don't have a favorite team. Wife is a chargers fan though
Well, technically she's a Justin Herbert fan
That makes sense
Makes a lot of sense
I think Patrick Mahomes is cool cause I played against him in high school
She really likes her white boys with long hair lol
His wife and brother are annoying af though
I agree there
Imagine trying to ride your brother’s coat tail and you’ve done nothing
They're the picture definition of the wifi Sub Zero and wifi smoke player
Or in his wife's case to be gender correct, full screen D2 spamming Jade
Agreed
Terrible terrible things
Since this is a video game subreddit, you guys gonna get the new Madden?
Those types of players get sent straight to hell
To the boiler room of hell
All the way down
They deserve down 1 tick throws over and over
You realize we're in the MK channel right? There's like 10 people active in here
Speaking of my wife, she wants to play MK1 with someone not me
Anyone down?
Fucking hell if I were home I’d throw fans
With big ass girl
"White girl with a big ass and fans"
Would you laugh if I did that?
Actually no
Darn
She quit her job Saturday and stays home for the time being and is learning some video games to pass the time.
I'm trying to slowly teach her MK mostly because you can't button mash like you can in SF
She plays reptile?
Raiden i think
Ahe told me a while ago she's just gonna pick who she thinks is the hottest white guy in the game
I kid you not
And she picked Raiden😂
My straight white ass would have assumed Scorpion cause he has the hair
But I guess he’s not really white
My guess would've been Johnny or Reptile
Johnny Smoke and Reptile are the only white guys in the game right?
If we don't count Reiko Sub and Scorpion I think so
Oh yeah I forgot about Reiko if he is
