Mortal Kombat

[subtle oyster]

Their move sets aren’t finished

They have MK11 Noob Saibot and Shang Tsung’s moves

I had a HOL UP moment when I played that part

[kindred osprey]

True, but I thought they'd just substitute the placeholders we have rn to their actual moveset after release and that's it

[subtle oyster]

Nah we getting a story too. Aftermath was too successful

This is gonna be the new normal

[kindred osprey]

Makes sense tbh
And I'd love to see Liu's timeline going foward

[subtle oyster]

I wanna see the showdown between the Shirai Ryu and Lin Kuei

Shit gonna go so hard

[kindred osprey]

Just plz Liu
Don't let Harumi die
AGAIN

[subtle oyster]

That’s as canon as Jerrod dying lol

[kindred osprey]

LMAOOOOOOO
I kinda wish we had Jerrod playable

[subtle oyster]

But idk who could be noob if someone died? Who would be the next sub zero

[kindred osprey]

Smoke.

Jk
Hanzo is there on Smoke's ending
Make Hanzo the next Sub Zero

They made Kuai Scorp

[subtle oyster]

I’m invested with Hanzo as scorp now please no

[kindred osprey]

Nah
Hanzo the next Sub
Syzoth the next Smoke

I'm calling it rn

Already has invisibility

[subtle oyster]

Unless they do the spectre as Noob

[kindred osprey]

Maybe
I am super excited tho

I'd like Triborg tbh

[subtle oyster]

I don’t think Triborg would be possible in this game

I thought he was created due to the variation system in X

But idk

I’d love to see my boy Erron

[tough rock]

I'd love to see my girl Jade

[subtle oyster]

If they bring her in I hope they just make her absolute shit like the Mileena treatment

[tough rock]

Cyrax gonna make her S Tier

[subtle oyster]

MK11 Mileena treatment*

Cyrax makes everyone S tier

They were like Mileena has no range but SHES REALLY FAST then gave her the slowest jab in the game

@kindred osprey maybe now that Bi Han is allied with the other people he will get to meet Sareena👀

[tough rock]

But for real, new era and all, Jade would be dope as a Nightwing like, rushdown character

[subtle oyster]

It can’t be worse than 11. It would be way easier to deal with

Nightwolf is a guy I want too

[tough rock]

I don't know, imagine if MK1's jump cancellable D2's were in MK11

[tough rock]

Injustice Nightwing/Robin

[subtle oyster]

Jade players weren’t good enough to jump cancel

Plus spend two bars be my guest

[tough rock]

Seriously it isn't even worth it

[subtle oyster]

They got a free krushing blow handed to them

[subtle oyster]

It needs to be a bar

[tough rock]

Yes

[subtle oyster]

I’d do that all the time

[subtle oyster]

If it’s too OP then scale the damage a hair

But yeah I never do that shit I was kinda hyped for it

Sindel has shit anti airs that would go a long way

Most anti air conversions are meterless so even a bar is spending more

[tough rock]

Reiko's Mid Command grab needs to also be 1 bar

[subtle oyster]

I disagree completely

[tough rock]

Wasn't actually serious lol but I knew you'd be opposed

[subtle oyster]

I was about to say Reiko is already a top 10 character easy. Kotal couldn’t zone like that or have mix like that

He would be potentially the best character in the game if he just consistently got mid cmd grabs for 40%

Kotal got 18% ish and it was still busted lol

[tough rock]

I miss Kotal ngl

[subtle oyster]

I figured you were trying to start a war lol

[tough rock]

Don't worry AA-Ron, no wars are starting

[subtle oyster]

It’s Buh-Lah-Kae

Insubordinate and churlish

[tough rock]

Get your ass to principal G-air-Is' office right now!

[subtle oyster]

Umm sir it’s pronounced Ger-Ass

[tough rock]

That was too simple

[subtle oyster]

That’s it

[tough rock]

We gonna settle this in game

[subtle oyster]

I’m from the inner city

Bet

[tough rock]

I'm from the inner, inner city

[subtle oyster]

No way you’re harder than me

[tough rock]

Pause

[vague creek]

🤨

[tough rock]

I'm starting to absolutely hate fighting Reptile

No reason for this dude to have a complete kit and a low starter that has that much range

That's the main move irritating me

Like cut that range in half like Havik's B3 and I'm good

[wind hedge]

Buff Liu Kang so I can play him

[kindred osprey]

OH
Maybe
I'd love the villain couple

[kindred osprey]

He is quite slow and his dmg isn't really one of the best

[tough rock]

Its the online laggy reptiles that get me

Dude was lagging so bad the character screen was delayed

[kindred osprey]

Oh
Yeah, that shit is awful

Think of the bright side
Could've been a laggy Baraka/Cyrax

[tough rock]

And combine lag with a the low sniper that is Reptile B3 it leads to me not rematching

[wind hedge]

https://vxtwitter.com/SylverRye/status/1712446972957749605?t=ZUwrYDMcQGnomWcab-_7LA&s=19

[kindred osprey]

Omfg...

Broken kameo

[wind hedge]

I don't get why it doesn't take the whole bar to use

[kindred osprey]

OH HELL YESSSSSSS

[kindred osprey]

@subtle oyster
GET THE VODKA
TODAY IS THE DAY I BEAT YOU

The best thing is doing Kameo Scorp Brutality and Smoke says
"Where there is smoke, there is fire"
While your opponent burns alive

[round temple]

I don’t even know how this game works and I know that’s bs

I love it

[subtle oyster]

I have work tomorrow lol

I can probably get drunk tomorrow tho. For earthrealm

[kindred osprey]

COOL!
Tmw it is then

If I'm feeling as confident as today
Lmao

[subtle oyster]

With Smoke? Or Mileena

[kindred osprey]

Mileena, Shao and Reptile

Smoke...
I don't even take the guy seriously

I just feel like he's the easiest char in the game for me

Out of the ones I'm interested in, I mean

[subtle oyster]

Yeah he is

[kindred osprey]

Which sucks tbh
I hate that I have more results with him, that I have barely even labbed
Than with Reptile that I have spent the most time trying to make work

Mileena too...
I feel like she's the hardest char I have
Which makes no sense, since I know she is top tier and super strong and fits my style

I just...
Don't really feel like she's THAT easy

Shao makes me feel more at home
Which is great, cuz I love him

But Mileena is the main and I am gonna make her work no matter what

[subtle oyster]

Yeah I don’t really vibe with her that much but then again I like more stagger heavy strike throw playstyles

[kindred osprey]

My problem with her is that I don't really understand how her neutral works
I mean, she doesn't have a low starter
Her only move that reaches kinda far is a high and slow
Her mid is good but the range is surprisingly short

So I tend to rely on my kameo to make teleport or ball safe in order to approach and get some pressure going with St. 12 and F1
Then some random backdashes to see if people whiff, and if they do, raw ball to punish

[subtle oyster]

I think you have the right idea and work on your movement so you can move around faster

[kindred osprey]

OH YES
Wave dashing
I need to learn that

I have an idea how to work on it
I just...
Need not to be lazy

Which is why I like long sets
I prefer to test stuff in real matches rather than the lab
The lab is better tho
I just don't like it

Lmao

[subtle oyster]

It’s dash block in this game. Just get used to dashing around and stopping it with block. It will eventually get faster

[kindred osprey]

Will do!
I'll try KL tomorrow
Hehe

Let's see how it goes

[subtle oyster]

I think you’ll do well

Have you started it yet?

[kindred osprey]

Nope
Never played online other than Private

No Kasuals nor KL

[subtle oyster]

Then yeah you’ll kick ass

[kindred osprey]

I'll do my best

[subtle oyster]

I imagine the sweaty people are already pretty high in ranked

You’ll work your way out of the mud

[kindred osprey]

Do we get Mastery from Kasuals?

[subtle oyster]

Yes

[kindred osprey]

Amazing.

Tmw it is

[subtle oyster]

It’s a great way to learn new characters

[kindred osprey]

Will doooooooo
I'll keep Shao and Reptile there probably
KL will be Mileena only

[subtle oyster]

You can accept or decline anyone in kasuals so if you see Wi-Fi or high ping then don’t worry about it

There’s a ping threshold in Kombat league I’m not sure what it is

[kindred osprey]

It's fine
I'm in Brazil
Used to bad connections
Lmao

I don't think I know anyone here who has a cable tbh...

I might be the only one

[subtle oyster]

Sweaty

Jk

[kindred osprey]

LOL
I do take FGs too seriously

[subtle oyster]

I think MK has a pretty big following in South America so you may be in luck

[subtle oyster]

Yeah the cable is the only way to go lol

[kindred osprey]

I wanna be the very best
Beat up Sonic Fox someday

[kindred osprey]

Actually yes
It's the most popular FG here
Maybe even more than Kof

But much more than SF

[subtle oyster]

Maybe you’ll run into the Chilean twins

[kindred osprey]

But for now, my goal is beating you

And Snake

[subtle oyster]

Never

[kindred osprey]

Actually tbh
My goal rn rn is stop farming Invasions for the mastery shit
LMAO

[subtle oyster]

You might as well keep your goals low with Sonic fox

[kindred osprey]

Someday I'll surpass you, who taught me everything, and become the strongest!

[subtle oyster]

Maybe when I’m like this

[kindred osprey]

The Vodka will help me
Lmao

Maybe I should be drinking...
Maybe it'll help with the random crackhead bs tactics

[subtle oyster]

It certainly makes me do shit that I otherwise wouldn’t think to do lmao

But you’ll definitely get better than me if you work at it. I’m a casual probably just gonna get to Demi god/ god rank and call it

No competing for me

Just drinking

[kindred osprey]

I won't be happy if I don't get Elder God

Same with SF
I won't be happy until Master

Almost there...

[subtle oyster]

MK is different

If you play more then you can get there

SF is probably harder

[kindred osprey]

I will!!!!

And when I win Evo, I'll be sure to thank the guy who murdered Oliver

[kindred osprey]

Did it wrong, the witch wasn't in the moon

I still want explanation why Reptile had Scorp and Sub's moves back then
My best explanation is that the green ninja we fought wasn't Reptile
But Chameleon, the guy one
He is also a zaterran and does have every other ninja's moves

[subtle oyster]

I have no idea

[kindred osprey]

AH
For the people who want Deception Scorp or smt else from the store

You get 100 Time Krystals for every Mastery Lv20 you get
I think you also get some every 10 or so account levels

And both of those are highly farmable
I'll save it for hopefully some cool Mileena skin

[subtle oyster]

Yeah I got the Shang announcer

[kindred osprey]

First KL match LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO

I 3-0d a Sub/Sareena
Obviously a beginner
Felt bad

The guy was speaking on the mic the whole time
But he spoke in Spanish
So I have no idea if he was cursing at me or not

I just Flawless'd a Johnny/Kano

2-0'd him no prob
Also Spanish speaker

Shit man
I forget BR is the only country in SA that speaks Portuguese

Ok
My first strong opponent
A Smoke
He knows combos and neutral a bit
3-1'd him

Smoke is annoying af
Omg
Why tf did I pick him?

The guy is a living 50/50
But I just learned a 380 combo for 2 bars
Is that bad?

I've been doing 300 for 1 bar

YAYYYYYY
My first Baraka/Cyrax

[subtle oyster]

He’s very annoying

[subtle oyster]

The first of many

[kindred osprey]

He changed to Raiden/Sareena as soon as I beat him

He fucked me up after
Won 2 games
I won the fourth
So it was 2-2
And he ran

[subtle oyster]

Nice!

Raiden is nuts

Raiden Cyrax is worse than Baraka Cyrax

[kindred osprey]

Yeah
That guy never stops

I hate Raiden even more now

Plz Liu Kang
Kill Raiden
At least once
The guy killed you on infinite timelines

[subtle oyster]

Yeah he does that

So does Johnny too tbf

[kindred osprey]

Nah, but Johnny is cool af
Raiden is ugh

[subtle oyster]

Raiden is too nice in the story

[kindred osprey]

Have you seen his ending?
He is going bad now
And I REALLY hope he dies or smt

[subtle oyster]

No I haven’t

[tough rock]

@kindred osprey you up for some games?

Took today off an am bored lol

[kindred osprey]

I ammmmmmm

I need some challenge
KL is being too nice to me

[tough rock]

KL was giving me all the sweats last night

[kindred osprey]

I mean
I am still on the first league

I wanna learn Kenshi at some point

[subtle oyster]

🤮

[kindred osprey]

He is cool af

[subtle oyster]

😒

I hope Kenshi gets the nerf hammer but I doubt it

[kindred osprey]

YUSSSSSSSS

[kindred osprey]

LOL
Never fought anyone besides Snake
So Idk tbh

[subtle oyster]

It’s fucking bullshit

You lose the round if you get touched once

[tough rock]

Thats true for literally half the cast

[kindred osprey]

Wow
Sindel has a favorite kid
Lmao

[tough rock]

You were Shao on my screen

[kindred osprey]

Oh
Nope, I went Sindel

[subtle oyster]

Not at all

Kenshi’s is the worst by a mile

You have to block plus on block 50/50’s over and over again that do 40+%? Round is over

Raiden Baraka sure. Johnny sure.

[kindred osprey]

AH
Snake!!!!!
Gimme the Sub tech
I got his Maskless gear

[subtle oyster]

Half the cast nah

[kindred osprey]

Yooooooooo
Can I use Goro with Sub to make slide safe?

[subtle oyster]

I’m sure you can but slide doesn’t provide the damage that ball roll and teleport does for Mileena

Sub’s best move is Kung Lao’s low hat I shit you not

[tough rock]

If it yours for Tanya it should work with Sub

[kindred osprey]

It's not about the dmg
It's about skipping neutral

[tough rock]

I can vouche for this

[subtle oyster]

You have a dive kick that combos and is safe

Sub does better at full screen than Mileena

[tough rock]

I gotta use the dive kick more

[subtle oyster]

Sareena isn’t bad for sub

Makes the overhead less punishable

[kindred osprey]

DIDN'T CANCEL

Saf

Sad

[tough rock]

Finally figured it out with Sub

He has Mk11 damage in MK1

[subtle oyster]

Sub isn’t too terribly far away from the mid tiers imo but he’s way too far from the elite

Slight damage and klone recharge buff and he will be vastly improved

[kindred osprey]

I wanna learn him

[subtle oyster]

He’s easy to pick up and play

Not easy with free wins like Raiden but you can play the game

[kindred osprey]

Will try later

BRO

My cat turned off the TV

[tough rock]

You know all these 30% combos you get with ease with literally every character?

You gotta spend almost 2 bars for 30%

[subtle oyster]

Sub is more of a scrub killer but if you wanna main him and get to elder god you’re going to fucking hate yourself

[kindred osprey]

The controller disappeared
One sec

Lmao

[tough rock]

I hate myself for playing him in casuals lol

[subtle oyster]

I’m down to fuck around and do Sub mirror that shit sounds fun

Poke klone poke klone poke klone

[kindred osprey]

Man
The cat yawned
The TV controller fell under my bed
And it's not there

Lmao

I can't find it

GOT IT

[tough rock]

Gotta throw in the random slide too

[kindred osprey]

Oh
I'm out?

[tough rock]

Afk timer

[kindred osprey]

Shit

So so sorry

[tough rock]

All good

[subtle oyster]

He’s still a fucker in high ping

[kindred osprey]

ALIVE

YUSSSSSS
Got it

[tough rock]

I'm playing a character that can actually do over 30%

[kindred osprey]

Wow
That killed

[tough rock]

That one simple Geras combo, the F44 jump, 21 then 112 plus throw does more meter less than what Sub can do with a bar

[kindred osprey]

Wow
Shao didn't wanna knee

I did it on all wake ups and died

Lol

SAD

[tough rock]

Motaro gives shao armor on that teleport?

[kindred osprey]

Yes
Not frame 1 tho

FLAWLESS

[tough rock]

The Edge Spear

[kindred osprey]

I blame Shao not wanting to knee every time I do the cmd

Lmao

Why does Shao's D2 range get bigger when he DOESN'T have the axe?

Stretch those arms bro

[wind hedge]

https://vxtwitter.com/HeroesNZ3/status/1712556696113930697?t=UNij9465HlwoWGI2Lb-1Wg&s=19

[kindred osprey]

I wanna do this.

[wind hedge]

I might redownload the game on like Sunday or Monday. Just to get steamrolled once again

[kindred osprey]

Kung Kung is cool

[subtle oyster]

Who cares if you lose now? Your KL record is good and you can be really good in time

[tough rock]

I have no idea what Tanya's supposed to do and I'm not impressed

[kindred osprey]

Me neither tbh
Lmao

[wind hedge]

Nah I'm just talking about like playing casual against people. Not specifically you guys but other people as well

I have a terrible W/L in casuals

[subtle oyster]

She’s like a shittier Jade

Stagger with the mid string

Throw air fireballs

That’s all the tech I can give lol

[kindred osprey]

Ok
Sub does seem REALLY easy

[wind hedge]

I was questioning how well I could play the game since I was losing very consistently

[subtle oyster]

He’s very easy

[kindred osprey]

Last match
I need to eat

[tough rock]

This is gonna desynch

[kindred osprey]

Why?

[tough rock]

You picked Shang?

Called it

[kindred osprey]

Nope
I don't have Shang

Eh
Ok then
I'll go have lunch

GGs!!!!!!
Super fun games

[tough rock]

Ggs

I don't get what all the hype is with Rain

[subtle oyster]

Against guys like Snake and I? That’s not fair

[kindred osprey]

Shao/Motaro are doing well

[subtle oyster]

Sonicfox played him for a day so people think he’s fucking goated

[kindred osprey]

I hate Rain
Traitor always

[tough rock]

@wind hedge seriosuly not fair on your end to judge if you're good or not at the game based on if you beat @subtle oyster or myself

[tough rock]

This dudes slow as havik at first glance

[subtle oyster]

Yeah and his zoning is slow too. He has to have a kameo like sub zero to outzone people

[wind hedge]

Like I said, it wasn't just you 2 I'm losing to very often.

[subtle oyster]

But like yeah you’re learning a new game

[wind hedge]

Right, but I felt like I hit a hard a wall with my not understanding any of the game and just losing without learning. Which is the worst feeling for me.

[subtle oyster]

Do you still play Liu?

[wind hedge]

Yeah, was taking a break from him just because I really wanted to try Johnny some more.

My Liu Kang, certainly isn't that good to me because I struggle with zoning so about all I can do are press mids reliably

[kindred osprey]

I'd honestly tell you to just play the game and try new things
Idk, after some strings, try to backdash instead of blocking
That leads me to the whiff punishes I'm landing lately

About the zoning, try to do your best to play Liu like King from Kof
Spam the projectiles, the high and low ones and mix up sometimes with an air one

Ofc, everyone in this game has a teleport or means through zoning
But like, you'll get the basics of it for when you actually need it

[subtle oyster]

Zoning is hard in this game

[wind hedge]

It's like one, I'm really really bad at experimenting with anything that's not a combo. Two, the game itself just feels hard since I somehow feel I'm missing so much of it and only playing like half the game. As I said I'll probably try to re download and play the game some more but I fear I'm just gonna run into the same problem

[kindred osprey]

3-2'd a Scorpion
The guy was GOOD
He consistently did 40% combos out of his mid
I really wanna learn that

I think his F42 or smt
The knee into launcher

[subtle oyster]

F32

What was his kameo?

[kindred osprey]

Sareena, but he barely used her
He only used her full screen so he could spear me and combo from there

I just beat a Rain
3-1
But he was SICK
So many setups with that portal and Cyrax

[wind hedge]

I'm not even trying to use bicycle kick it's from me holding back to block and trying to walk forward

[subtle oyster]

Oh fuck me I thought you were the Johnny bro

[wind hedge]

Man I can't play this game I tell you. This dude picked up the game like this week and he's godamn incredible

[subtle oyster]

You’re better than he is

[wind hedge]

I REALLY don't think I am at all

[subtle oyster]

I would do more of Liu’s 2-2 plus on block

On offense

Your neutral looks good

[wind hedge]

This man has neutral and movement than I am by so far

And he doesn't drop anything and has block pressure

[subtle oyster]

His hype combo was really good

[wind hedge]

I don't know, after that game back I have a headache and feel terrible. I'm really thinking I might not be built for MK games

That game felt impossible

[subtle oyster]

Johnny is strong af. Your offense started looking good there mixing his ass and being plus on block

The game changer in that game was just some missed punishes and a couple missed opportunities probably from rust

Liu’s amp flying dragon kick combos are not that easy to do lol I drop those in online which is why I gotta use Sareena

[wind hedge]

It's like, I really feel I can't understand MK1. Like the same way I couldn't understand KOF forever.

There's just what feels like some legacy and non traditional and anime fighting game stuff happening that I'm just not getting at all.

[subtle oyster]

So for punishes, I’d practice your jab combo bnb. On offense, it becomes a game of mind games off their down 1. Pressure in this MK game revolves around the down 1 since it is the universal fastest poke on defense. To really understand this, you can lab this yourself and I can tell you what to do

[wind hedge]

I really don't get what you mean

I thought down 1 on hit=pressure down 1 on block=end turn/punish

And that was it

[subtle oyster]

I’d demonstrate if I was at home otherwise I’d have to tell you stuff while you’re at the lab

[wind hedge]

I'll just wait whenever you get home. If I keep thinking about this game my head is gonna split

I wish I understood it as fast as everyone else does but my ass is just SLOW and sucks at learning

[subtle oyster]

Liu is not that easy to win with lol

Your fundamentals need to be on point. I’ll send you some clips when I get home

[wind hedge]

Man I don't think any character is to win with. I know at least for me Liu happens to be the best character since I understand Liu Kang I think I'm ass at Johnny because I really don't understand Mortal Kombat

That's my opinion on it

[subtle oyster]

Like your pressure is pretty good. But I’ll explain why you do/can do some of these things, what to look out for, and how to condition.

Also show you how to practice this cause you prob need to get the hang of this

[tough rock]

Invasion season 2 is ||Nitara|| based

Season 3 is ||Sub Zero||

[subtle oyster]

Hopefully Sindy and Johnny soon

[kindred osprey]

Excited for season 3
Lol

[subtle oyster]

Fuck I think I need to grind ranked this weekend

@tough rock so the next big upcoming tourney rules will allow the loser of the match to pick a new character but the winner can pick a new kameo

Is what I’m hearing

Someone can switch to a zoner and the winner can choose sub zero kameo. Or someone can switch to Kenshi and the winner can pick Shujinko

[tough rock]

So the winner can counter pick the user? Lol

Kameo wise at least

[subtle oyster]

That’s what I’m hearing

[fiery thistle]

Hmmm?

https://vxtwitter.com/EGPWonderChef/status/1710633196411556218?s=19

Shao just gets rolled by an assist

[tough rock]

Have officially picked a secondary character

Sub

[kindred osprey]

Really?
Sub is your sub char?

[subtle oyster]

Subbing out for Sub

[kindred osprey]

I wanna pick him up
But I already play so many chars
Lmao

[subtle oyster]

Fuck me I need to get like 50 Kombat league sets in this weekend but I’m trying to procrastinate this shit

[kindred osprey]

Fuck that
Fight me.

[subtle oyster]

When @kindred osprey talks shit and picks fights

[kindred osprey]

LOL
Prove me wrong!

Come beat my Hot Princess/Tyrant/Lizard

[subtle oyster]

Ima take a nap and figure out what to do with my life

Prob get drunk

I’m always drunk

[kindred osprey]

LMAO
Cmon bro, I wanna beat up your Johnny

[subtle oyster]

You can hold block against Johnny

But that’s just cause he’s pretty damn good

[kindred osprey]

Nah
I won't be happy before I brutality your Johnny 5 times in a row

[subtle oyster]

I will uninstall if you brutality me 5 times in a tow

Unless I’m just absolutely shit faced

But even then

[kindred osprey]

Someday bro
Be prepared

[tough rock]

Yes

[wind hedge]

@subtle oyster

Since I've been thinking about somewhat since you said it. In Liu Kang really that hard to win with? It just because he's honest?

[subtle oyster]

Fuck I forgot to send you shit. Yeah he’s honest and doesn’t have a ton of bullshit

I guess not really like hard to win with but you don’t have scrub shit to rely on

[wind hedge]

Man, this really does happen often to me. I tried the dishonest characters didn't do well with then so I try an honest one and I just have to be "better at the game than them" this happens too often

[subtle oyster]

You would have won the large majority of those games had you just punished correctly and didn’t drop the bnb’s

[tough rock]

My entire liu Kang game plan is play him like its MK11

Spam and abuse F4

And frame trap tf out of people

[wind hedge]

I'm just playing him like I would with Ryu except with frame traps and no dragon rush

Not dragon rush what the hell is it called

Drive rush

[tough rock]

@wind hedge @subtle oyster @kindred osprey

Any of you on right now? Wanna try Sub Zero out in someone who isn't my wife

[kindred osprey]

I'm in!

I don't have much time
Maybe like 30min

Wow
You got 30%

[tough rock]

And it only took one kameo bar lol

[kindred osprey]

LOL

Maybe Reptile isn't the play todat

Ok...
Reptile isn't doing much today
I'll go Shao next

Lmao

Yeah
I need to work on my Reptile

Ok
Much better tho

[tough rock]

Wait a second

[kindred osprey]

I need to stop holding up on wake up

[tough rock]

Motaro can bail you out of freeze?

[kindred osprey]

LOL

[tough rock]

I keep forgetting Shao is the only character in the game who gets a full combo off his armor move

[kindred osprey]

Hehe

[subtle oyster]

Fucking prick

[kindred osprey]

He can't backdash

Too slow

20%

[subtle oyster]

I heard this in kabal’s annoying MK11 voice @tough rock

tOo sLoW

Sorry carry on

[kindred osprey]

I HATE when I spend a bar
Do the Ex Knee
But the fucking axe doesn't come out

[tough rock]

HOLY FUCK I BROKE 40% WITH SUB

@subtle oyster

[subtle oyster]

That’s impressive

I can be on in like 15

I can play one of my side characters

[kindred osprey]

Plz come save me from big bad snake

[subtle oyster]

I ain’t playing no KOTH but I’m down to play someone once y’all are done

[kindred osprey]

SHITTTTT

Ok
Mileena time.

CMON

SHIT

433 dmg
Ok Sub is strong

[tough rock]

That was a kameo and fatal

[subtle oyster]

What kameo?

Sareena?

[kindred osprey]

Somya

[tough rock]

Sonya

[kindred osprey]

YESSSSSSSS

Last match

I need to go

LUCK

AHHHHHH
I messed up

GGs!!!!!!!
Super fun games
Looking foward to facing more of your Sub

[tough rock]

Ggs

@subtle oyster you wanna play?

[subtle oyster]

Yeah I’ll invite you

Wait one sec lemme hook my Ethernet up

[tough rock]

@subtle oyster ggs

Wife needs me

[subtle oyster]

Gg’s bro

Nice sub zero

[tough rock]

I barely did anything

[subtle oyster]

For first day sub zero it was good. Instincts were good just more klone and dive kick next time

You’re not gonna optimize sub zero in a day shit is hard

I started playing Sindel a few days ago

[tough rock]

I simplified the hell out of my game plan because I knew I'd be eating sareena 40% combos off a basic jab

[subtle oyster]

Sindel’s damage is on the lower end of the spectrum without it that’s why people run it and for the restand a

[wind hedge]

I wish I could pick up Geras but I feel I should only be playing Liu Kang

[kindred osprey]

Try him!
Why not?

[subtle oyster]

@kindred osprey where are you?

I’m just gonna have to play ranked I guess

[wind hedge]

Since I feel I still got to understand the game. It just wouldn't be a good idea.

[subtle oyster]

Snake plays Geras so you can run mirrors with him to learn

[tough rock]

Go ahead and pick him. Record some basic stuff with him and send it to me

Or of you want some quick tips with him let me know

[wind hedge]

I mean I'll probably just watch tweedy at some point and just attempt to figure out the character

I'll learn BnBs first just to get an idea for his good buttons

[tough rock]

As weird as it sounds, he really only has one bad button and thats D1

[subtle oyster]

His d3 looks kinda goated tho

[tough rock]

D4 is cracked and it ticks

D3 does too

D2 is just average imo
D1 is probably the worse one in the game. Has absolutely no range

[subtle oyster]

Down 2 in this game really only serves as an anti air

And generally most characters have a better one

[tough rock]

Or as an incredibly basic punish

[subtle oyster]

But who wants that when you can big dick micro duck

[tough rock]

Legit beginners like my wife

Taught her basic block punishing by picking Mileena just spamming ball and teleport

[subtle oyster]

I know lol I was just messing

[kindred osprey]

BACKKKKKK

Still there?

[kindred osprey]

No goro?

You have to teach her the dirty tricks
Lmao

Just sharing because this shit is HILARIOUS

[subtle oyster]

I’m running to the gas station

[kindred osprey]

Ping me when you're back if you still want to

[subtle oyster]

I’m about to bitch slap Goro

[kindred osprey]

LOL
Let's see about that

[subtle oyster]

I’ll invite

[kindred osprey]

Timao_Centenario

I think we haven't played on my account yet

[subtle oyster]

I think I just added you

Did you get it

[kindred osprey]

Hm...
No?

Sent friend request

Inv me again

[subtle oyster]

Did you get it?

[kindred osprey]

I'm in

[subtle oyster]

182 ping lol let’s get it

[kindred osprey]

LOL
Sorry

[subtle oyster]

SF net code spoiled us

[kindred osprey]

Too late Goro

[subtle oyster]

Goro can’t save you now😈

[kindred osprey]

I am just warming up

Got you

[subtle oyster]

You shouldn’t be able to press after a down 1

I gotta adjust to a few frames

[kindred osprey]

Can't believe the Fatal Blow missed

[subtle oyster]

I’m fucking my shit up

[kindred osprey]

OH SHIT

I forgot I could breaker

Was looking at your bar

Lmao

[subtle oyster]

You can back dash and ball roll by the time I can punish your down 1 lol

I high blocked that

[kindred osprey]

That's a grab

Let go of block and duck

Wow
I really didn't think that through

[subtle oyster]

I can’t punish your habit of back dashing after that

[kindred osprey]

Ball would've done the job I think

Ok
I need to stop grabbing after Goro

I just need patience...

[subtle oyster]

Even my cyrax is fucking up

[kindred osprey]

Aw
Cmon

OK
Learned smt important

I can armor mid blockstring

Not only on wake up

I'm learning...

AW
Didn't punisj

The empty jumps are getting predictable

THE LOW

Lol

[subtle oyster]

My shadow dash didn’t come out on the fatal blow

Whoops

[kindred osprey]

Let me see if Shao can do anything

[subtle oyster]

You want Johnny or Sindy or who

[kindred osprey]

Whoever

You choose

[subtle oyster]

You just pressed when I was plus 6 and won bro

Like idk how to play in this ping

[kindred osprey]

Is it THAT bad?

She plus on everything?

[subtle oyster]

Nah she not

[kindred osprey]

Fucking Bison
Lmao

[subtle oyster]

Johnny is

[kindred osprey]

Cool

That killed
Cool af

[subtle oyster]

I like that brutal

[kindred osprey]

Me too
Style

What an annoying move
I need to use it more

Sindel B1

[subtle oyster]

Forward 1

[kindred osprey]

The hair
Isn't it Back 1?

[subtle oyster]

Oh my god I need to clip those air fireballs please

[kindred osprey]

Ok
Back to Mileena

[subtle oyster]

I lol’d at that

[kindred osprey]

Don't judge me
I am sleepy

[subtle oyster]

Pick Sindel if you want to learn her

It’s okay lol

[kindred osprey]

Nah, I don't
Will keep to Shao, Reptile and Mileena

For now

[subtle oyster]

I got like two more in me

[kindred osprey]

Ok!
I need to go too

[subtle oyster]

It’s not a throw it’s an overhead btw

It says throw but it’s actually an overhead

[kindred osprey]

What?

[subtle oyster]

Like Goro’s throw says throw but it hits low blockers

The last hit on that string

[kindred osprey]

Didn't even pay attention
Lol

[subtle oyster]

The one you were trying to explain earlier

[kindred osprey]

OH
Mileena's? 21, 1+3?

[subtle oyster]

Sindel easier to play in high ping than Johnny wouldn’t have guessed that

Yeah

[kindred osprey]

Oh really?
I've caught SO MANY people with that by now

[subtle oyster]

Yeah it’s basically an overhead it just says throw cause it kinda throws them

[kindred osprey]

I'm pretty sure I've never been blocked

And I'm also pretty sure I've been ducked

[subtle oyster]

I blocked it earlier

[kindred osprey]

Wow
I'll lab it for sure

Thx!!!!

[subtle oyster]

You’re welcome. Gg’s

[kindred osprey]

And SUPER GGs!!!!!!!!

[subtle oyster]

Just playing Sindel against you now

[kindred osprey]

I feel like I learned a lot today
About strings, pressure and armor

And I am happy with my performance tbh
I see clear progress from our last 2 a.m. session

[subtle oyster]

I noticed you had some tendencies with Mileena that I can usually blast with Johnny but I can show you a vid in a sec. Just something to look out for in general if you find yourself getting hit by it

[kindred osprey]

Ok!
I'll send the air balls clip
Lmao

[subtle oyster]

@kindred osprey You generally back dash after a down 1 on block. Which is usually death against Johnny because her down 1 is full combo punishable against him already.

Which is why I kept doing it but I couldn’t enforce it in our matches. And you’d back dash into ball roll and I’m the one who got punished

And I couldn’t figure out what was going on lol

I’m just letting you know so if you face Johnny players in the future, they won’t let you do that

[kindred osprey]

Wow
It is actually PUNISHABLE?

[kindred osprey]

Yeah, I do that against basically everyone
Shao and Geras have big buttons that punish me for that, but like, most chars don't

[kindred osprey]

Thxxxxx
I'll be sure to be more careful

[subtle oyster]

Only Johnny can punish it

So throw down 1’s out whenever but Mileena’s down 1 is -10 so a character with a quick mid won’t let you back dash after

Others can punish it with a down 1 but that’s not a big deal

[kindred osprey]

Wow
Shit
I never would've guessed

[subtle oyster]

I love it! Was so funny

If we play again I’ll just have to try to time it mid animation to see if I can get it. I was trying to press when I recovered on the screen but it was late. No biggie but figured I’d let you know in case you run into that

[kindred osprey]

Thxxxxx
I'll be more careful about that

I'm learning
Going good

[subtle oyster]

For sure. Your combo execution getting better you didn’t drop shit

Was really proud of that

[kindred osprey]

Blame invasions.
I repeated that same combo countless times...

[subtle oyster]

That’s a good thing

[subtle oyster]

Xombat and SonicFox are doing a tier list I will post the pic

[kindred osprey]

Plz do!!!!

[subtle oyster]

Scorpion Sub Zero and Nitara look like bottom 3

[subtle oyster]

Mileena they have at about 12 rn

[kindred osprey]

Really mid, right?

[subtle oyster]

Baraka at 6

[kindred osprey]

I'm ok with that

[subtle oyster]

RAIN AT 5 wtf

Ashrah at 3

[subtle oyster]

In S tier at 12 overall. Top tier is called “what are we doing”

Top tier is Raiden Kenshi Ashrah Johnny Rain Baraka in that order

S tier is Liu, Kung Lao, Reiko, Shang, Li Mei, Mileena, Kitana

A+ is Tanya Havik Shao Geras Smoke Reptile Sindel

In that order

Then A tier is Scorpion Nitara Sub Zero in that order

@tough rock I know some people have Geras top 10 but I’m having trouble seeing it tbh. Out of all the Geras’s I’ve fought he seems so honest and when you know the tick throw shit

[subtle oyster]

Kameo tier list

Last category is niche. Not necessarily bad or good

Niche they just changed to Character specific

[remote mountain]

figured any ambush kameo attack that hits grounded would be atleast S tier lmao

[subtle oyster]

I told you scorpion was shit aside from Cyrax lol

[remote mountain]

sonyas and scorps ambush is just for combos

[subtle oyster]

Sonya is shit

Scorp provides nutty combos for some people which is why he’s niche so I agree with that

[remote mountain]

true i think ima try learning reiko or smthing

[subtle oyster]

Reiko is fucking good af

I just ran a set with one

Not fun

Wait they just changed the kameos

[remote mountain]

sucks that he needs darrius to get decent dmg

and even then full kameo bar + 1 bar of meter for 40+ percent is pretty average

[subtle oyster]

Upped Sareena

[subtle oyster]

Just off his cmd grab

You can use any kameo with him

This motherfucker has so much mix

[remote mountain]

the only other kameo i see worth using is striker since it makes slide safe

[subtle oyster]

And arguably the best projectile in the game

[remote mountain]

thats what rewind recommends anyways

[subtle oyster]

Yeah and his zoning is fucking stupid

[remote mountain]

but theres a reason why people run darrius lmao

his dmg is subpar with other kameos rn

[subtle oyster]

I mean Darrius with the combo off the cmd grab is good af

He has good ass stagger pressure off his 1-2 so you can harass with that then cmd grab

[remote mountain]

yea his mix is insane

[subtle oyster]

Like if I played Reiko I’m running Darrius cause of fun

[remote mountain]

hes just very resource reliant but still looks dope

[subtle oyster]

His zoning is good too. Neutral is great. Pokes are insane

I knew Sindel was a stretch but damn bottom 4 ):

[remote mountain]

i wish they shifted power away from his zoning to other parts of his kit

[subtle oyster]

Yeah more plus frames and more of a brawler

[remote mountain]

yea, i wnna try implementing his parry to see if i can make it work too but its def a shit move

[subtle oyster]

I got hit by it and was like WHAT THE FUCK

[remote mountain]

lmao if it beat lows id love it

[subtle oyster]

Got hit by the overhead then the parry and was like of course this fucking character has it

[remote mountain]

idk how fast it becomes active tho

cuz its obv not gonna be frame 1

[subtle oyster]

Wait

They changed the bottom tiers lol

Moved Sindel down again ):

[remote mountain]

love playing bottom tiers in every fg i play lmao

[subtle oyster]

The bottom tiers aren’t even bad in this game

I make people rage with Sindel lol

[remote mountain]

maybe ill join the pack and become a geras player

yea tier list doesnt even come close to mattering for me online, but i am frustrated with a lack of tools my chara has

i just want a servicable mid and/or some plus frames for scorp man

f3 is so ass and its his only mid starter

[kindred osprey]

At least you have one
Mileena doesn't know what a mid or low is

[subtle oyster]

Mileena has a mid

[remote mountain]

her mid is 13f but goes way farther than mine lmao

ill trade any day

[kindred osprey]

It's not that good

[subtle oyster]

It’s a pretty good mid tbh

[kindred osprey]

Is it?
I mean, it is minus on block
And the range is pretty meh

[remote mountain]

it has a better followup and goes much further for a 1f difference ocmpared to scorps

scorp needs to do 3 of his mids to reach from round start compared to someone like mileena which is only 2

[remote mountain]

so is scorps

both parts are minus and his only followup is a high

[subtle oyster]

Mileena’s mid stagger isn’t amazing I agree with you but in comparison to scorpion, it’s way better

[kindred osprey]

Yeah...
Scorp is suffering

[remote mountain]

if they change his f32 string to be mid or make f3 plus hed be shot up immediately

but rn he has no mix and no pressure

no low or overhead starter, a shit mid starter, no plus frames for pressure, etc

[subtle oyster]

They just need to make his 2 a mid tbh

On the f32

Not the 2-1

That would be fucking stupid

But like minus 7

[remote mountain]

21 is a mid

[subtle oyster]

The 2 is a high is what I meant

[remote mountain]

ohh ok

yea im fine with him having no mixups

just give him some ability to stagger

hes just always minus and you can ALWAYS block low against him

only overhead is 122 and its extremely slow and reactable

[subtle oyster]

You don’t need mix in MK games if you know have good staggers and fundamentals

Unfortunately for Scorpion

His staggers are shit

[kindred osprey]

Shit man...

[subtle oyster]

You literally just chip people out with cyrax

[remote mountain]

yea too bad there isnt a chara that gets huge satisfying combos like scorp does else id prob swapped mains alr

[kindred osprey]

The Lin Kuei aren't what they used to be

[subtle oyster]

Bruh Scorps combos are so fun lmao

[remote mountain]

its the only reason why ive stuck to him

[subtle oyster]

Every smoke I play is laggy af so that fucking changes the game

[subtle oyster]

Bruh I’m so impressed with your scorpion

And I had your back the whole time saying he’s shit

Aside from cyrax

Cause that flawless block gap is hard as shit

Raidens is the worst. Baraka’s isn’t that bad tbh

[remote mountain]

youve gotten good at the MU where you know how to play around all my gimmicks lmao

[subtle oyster]

The only gimmick with Scorpion is fucking Cyrax and that ain’t a scorpion only thing

[remote mountain]

true but id get away with stupid shit all the time like scorp spear or random sweep in neutral and now i cant that ever lmao

i just end up giving away my turn since hoth are like -30

[subtle oyster]

And I’VE BEEN SAYING THAT EVERYTIME WE PLAYED. He is shit without cyrax but kinda stupid and gimmicky with cyrax online cause of the FB gap

He just needs fucking something to enforce a mid off f3

[remote mountain]

yea i hope nrs makes a balance patch soon but who knows

nothing has been announced from what ive seen

cyrax needs to be nerfed soon

[subtle oyster]

They don’t usually announce balance patches

But yeah honestly cyrax and chip damage needs to be touched first imo

But like he’s not THAT far off from mid tier he just needs a little something

[remote mountain]

we'll see, for now ima try learning reiko or geras over the weekend and see if they really click

rewind making reiko look fun

[subtle oyster]

Let’s run a Reiko mirror

Idk how to play this fucker either

[remote mountain]

fs ill try to hop on tmmrw, today i was just busy

[subtle oyster]

I’m down bro

[subtle oyster]

There are countless people telling you that Baraka is only top tier because of Cyrax but I’m here to tell you the truth in that that is a lie and he is going to do just as oppressive with Kano just with slightly less chip damage

I’m willing to make a video to explain the mind games to you guys and he has all the same mind games currently but he will just hit combos for a little less

[tough rock]

Li Mei above Geras? Who made this list?

[subtle oyster]

SonicFox and Xombat

I think I believe it too

The best pro and one of the best

[tough rock]

I don't see the Li Mei hype

[subtle oyster]

That’s a fair opinion and I respect it. But after seeing AfoxyGrampa and a couple other pros maul with her I can see it

She’s like a Ryu and you play her with low hat

She has plus frames up the ass

[tough rock]

Like, yeah with Scorpion she gets cracked damage and has a sniper of low starter, screen control with lanterns and an instant air overhead.

But has gaps and gets blown up on block

[subtle oyster]

They use her with Lao Kameo

[tough rock]

Thats my problem when I rank characters, I just think of their base kit

Never played an assist fighter before and probably won't after MK1

[subtle oyster]

Same bro that’s my thing. I feel like there’s a whole new fad every goddamn day and now it’s Rain

But honestly bro I respect 10000% that you’re not downplaying your main

However, from my opinion, I feel like he’s super honest

However

I feel like Geras is a character that isn’t played enough where people can watch and say oh shit this is how I should use him

[tough rock]

He is imo

[subtle oyster]

Because I know you can be really creative and smart with how you either use his sands of time buildup or even spend meter to get it instantly but his base kit is incredibly fucking honest

[subtle oyster]

I totally agree in gameplay and story mode. As a Geras main, where would you rank him?

[tough rock]

Geras' base kit and game plan is this.

Am I full screen away?

Set up klone, use sandstorm, Set up clock and eat projectile or Walk Menacingly towards opponent

Okay now we're round start/jump distance away?
F3 to catch crouch blockers.

Did opponent whiff anything in this distance? B12 full combo punish or F21 sandstorm full combo Ggs shake my hand

Now Geras is within throw distance this is where he's a threat and where the mind games start for the opponent

F44 the low sweep that launches on hit, F1 and the string 11 frame mid that ticks into command grab. Gapless 122 string that knocks down for great oki and has a throw. 21 is a 10 frame overhead string that's an easy conversion to ex time stop

Now if you want to set up clocks just do an EX BF1 mid combo

[subtle oyster]

Yeah after labbing him I have a general idea of his buttons and strategy I’m more curious where you would put him on the tier list cause you have way more xp than me with Geras and I respect your opinion. Also follow up question:

If opponent whiffs and you do b12 full combo punish or f21 sandstorm full combo what are they eating on health

Why is it gg’s

[tough rock]

Depends on the Geras player and position but anywhere between 35% and 41% just off one bar

[subtle oyster]

That’s solid

Where do you think he resides on the tier list?

[tough rock]

I'd put Geras somewhere between 8-10

[subtle oyster]

That’s where I’ve seen him for the majority of the tier lists until this one

But tbh

The Geras pros/players have dropped him for meta from what I’ve seen

So I’ve always had hope that he would come out of a tourney and do some stupid shit but I haven’t seen it. I played against a champ ranked Geras in kasuals last night but he never set up the crazy time stop thing with the clone after I 7-0’d him with my Sindel

[tough rock]

Time stop clone costing two bars is a main reason no one does it

[subtle oyster]

I mean, I think it’s fair to put him beside Smoke Shao and Havik imo

I’d probably rather fight a Geras over the other two tbh

[tough rock]

Geras also doesn't need the meta kameos imo

[subtle oyster]

The guy I played used Lao Kameo and it was annoying

As Lao kameo always is

But like, Geras’s best mix is off his F12 tick throw (I think that’s the string) but if the opponent makes a read, you’re eating prob 35-40% while the opponent eats what 12%ish off the grab?

I’ll take those odds on defense because I’m comfortable neutral ducking throws into a full punish

I’m even willing to bet Johnny can punish the sand storm projectile with shadow kick

[tough rock]

Yeah thats the string but if you're neutral ducking you can eat the EX time stop and a full combo

[subtle oyster]

But if I block then I’m punishing you

[tough rock]

Actually no

[subtle oyster]

So odds are still in my favor

[tough rock]

The whole F12 plus grab is only -5 on block

But if you call out the tick throw, yes. Geras gets full comboed punished

[subtle oyster]

I think I’m thinking of a different move than EX time stop

[tough rock]

EX time should be the one most throw out

[subtle oyster]

I’m not sure but I just ducked the tick throws

[tough rock]

Yeah you can duck the tick throws easily enough but if Geras does ex time stop instead of the tick throw you're eating a full combo

[subtle oyster]

Do you need 3 hourglasses for that?

[tough rock]

Thats his db3 move

Fixed point

[subtle oyster]

I gotcha

[wind hedge]

Well here I am watching tweedy run a gears mirror match

Geras*

So far, he doesn't seem to have anything crazy belligerent like some of the other characters. Just great buttons and good damage. Plus a command grab and the clone

Omni Man and Tremor Kameo in November

[wind hedge]

Yeah excited for a new Kameo instead of Omni man

How does that even happen

[remote mountain]

oh shit omni man has a parry

if its good i found my new main

[wind hedge]

I just wish I had a main that was cheap and could crutch

[wind hedge]

How does one beat Johnny Cage's B3?

That shit is so belligerent in neutral

It's a massive hit box and feels really hard to punish

[wind hedge]

I figured it out, nevermind I was pressing the wrong button to punish it.

[wind hedge]

Fighting Raiden has me screaming at the top of my lungs I swear I might just be bad here. Like every confirm ending in like 50% I feel I'm just not playing MK

[tough rock]

Raiden is the 2nd best character in the game so don't feel bad

Raiden deals beta Sub damage

[wind hedge]

It's just like, I up block the overhead but there's 2 so it doesn't count on the second one, he lands some whack ass jump in where I'm in the air and he still confirms it, can teleport my fireballs and he has his own. Plus more

[tough rock]

I struggle to hit slightly above 30% combos with Sub and I effortlessly hit a 34% meterless with Raiden

[wind hedge]

Liu Kang like hard caps around 40% I don't think I've ever gotten a combo over that just since I don't use a Kameo for combos with him

[tough rock]

So out of boredom I checked how easy it was to break 40% with Sub and Raiden

One Cyrax bar, one meter bar, one tight input for a backdash and one fatal blow for Sub

Meanwhile for Raiden

34 34 34 stand 1, EX shocker 3 then normal shocker

[wind hedge]

Sheesh, and here I thought Liu Kang did alright damage

I'll have to record this one set against the Tanya I beat. It was 3-2 and she perfected me

But for whatever reason, teleport from Liu Kang really is a stellar anti air

[tough rock]

Johnny Kameo allegedly replaced with....

Something that starts with a J

@subtle oyster

[tough rock]

Can't post the screenshot i have for whatever reason, but DLC release date order

Omni Man- November

Quan Chi and Peacekeeper both Winter 2023/2024

Ermac- Early Spring 2024

Homelander- Spring 2024

Takeda- Summer 2024

[wind hedge]

||Ferra? The small girl on top of that large ass thing?||

[subtle oyster]

Lol interesting

[tough rock]

Yes

[wind hedge]

Very neat

I wish I wasn't only interested in Quan Chi

[tough rock]

I'm more interested in Kombat Pack 2

[subtle oyster]

He’s here

https://reddit.com/r/MortalKombat/s/ZTmISDZTRn

And he looks good

[tough rock]

My real life friend and I just played a FT10, Sub vs Reptile. We were having fun until the topic of game balance came up.

He doesn't want a balance patch until Takeda drops in summer 2024. I personally want a small kameo balance patch then nerf/buff the base roster later.

Bro lost his shit when I said that

Said, "Casual crybabies like you are gonna be the reason my Baraka Cyrax gets nerfed and then I'll have to likely drop the game"

I know he has heated because he was also clapping his hands in between each word

Baraka/Cyrax has literally carried him to Grandmaster and he can't grasp Reptile's gameplan

[subtle oyster]

Baraka cyrax is cheese

I’d take a small balance patch

[tough rock]

My ideal small patch,
Sareena and Cyrax no longer add 50 health.

Sareena double boomerang either has more scaling or increased cool down. Reduced cooldown on her reversal

Raiden damage toned down a bit. (Stealth nerf lol)

Remove the gap between Subs 12 and 21 string Never mind that can wait for a major patch. Its a 1 frame window anyway

Cyrax buzzsaw gets chip damage reduced also

[tough rock]

My absolute favorite part of this is when my wife used my phone, called him just to call him trash and tell him to get good at Reptile

[subtle oyster]

Multiple Sareena nerfs but no Lao nerf? Sareena doesn’t need scaling imo

She would be worse than sub zero by a lot

[tough rock]

Only two Sareena nerf lol

I also don't use or fight lao enough to suggest nerfs

But Sareena giving you a 40% combo off a single stand 1 is cracked imo

[subtle oyster]

Cooldown I get that and idk if she should be able to combo from full screen.

Lao gives plus frames on every single one of your moves while being the best projectile in the game. The cooldown needs to be nerfed big time on it

Lao gonna be the best kameo in the game after they nerf cyrax. A lot of characters already almost get 40% off a stand 1 without a kameo tho is how I feel about it

[tough rock]

Doesn't Lao's hat make everything like plus 2?

[remote mountain]

only thing that should he nerfed is that returning hitbox on projectiles even after the player has been hit

let her keep her identity as a hitconfirm kameo

most charas can get similar damage if they use full kameo meter anyways

[subtle oyster]

Yeah everything is plus 2

And regenerates instantly

And can win zoning wars by itself pretty much

[tough rock]

Screw it make it zero on block

[subtle oyster]

That’s how I feel about it

I’d be fine if the user could be punished harder for throwing Sareena in the opponents face on block

[subtle oyster]

At least yeah

[tough rock]

Its happened to me too many times where I've neutral duck a Sareena toss and D4 her off screen, but the boomerangs hit me on the way back and I still eat a full combo.

For countering a kameo

Kinda why I default run Sub Zero on Geras

At first it was for clock setups but now its just to walk down zoners

Neutral duck Sareena, pop Sub then full combo the opponent

But then again point blank yolo Sareena tosses are rare

[subtle oyster]

They usually won’t yolo Sareena toss in your face they will usually fail to hit confirm their string and get away with it

[subtle oyster]

Oh that’s cool

[tough rock]

I did it earlier against a Li Mei in KL to win a set and the brutality at the end was.... poetic

[subtle oyster]

That’s a dope feeling

[tough rock]

Especially since he quit the set after

[subtle oyster]

Even better lol

[subtle oyster]

Ferra as a kameo is so perfect that it makes me happy

Fuck me I have to wait till summer to get Takeda. Fucking fuck fuck

[subtle oyster]

I think I’m seeing the rain hype

[subtle oyster]

I’m curious if Omni Man’s projectile parry will work on kameo projectiles too

[subtle oyster]

Anyone wanna play?

Heres your chad zero

[wind hedge]

Someone pointed out on Reddit he's the only one smart to step to the side and I can only see it as that

[subtle oyster]

He’s out here playing Tekken. I’m surprised this is the first projectile parry in the game

Smoke has an iconic projectile parry but they gave him invisibility and made him annoying

[subtle oyster]

Li Mei👀

[tough rock]

[wind hedge]

Can't figure out if I dedicate today to MK play or relearning Skullgirls

[tough rock]

I just got absolutely smoked by a Kitana

Legit made me pick her up again

[subtle oyster]

Kitana is good af

[tough rock]

I'm officially done with online until a balance patch drops

Fought nothing but Raiden, Baraka, a random Reiko and wifi smokes for the better part of 2 hours

[wind hedge]

Casuals only huh

[tough rock]

Hopefully only until Omni man drops

[wind hedge]

Makes sense

He is cool af
I like him

Welp...
@tough rock @wind hedge
I'm back from the weekend and out for blood

I got a new Mileena combo, more optimal than the one I had
And I watched some tutorials om Kung Lao, even tho I haven't actually done anything yet

[wind hedge]

When I get down eating and this phone call maybe

I gotta figure out if I want to shit this morning

[kindred osprey]

Ping me whenever!

[wind hedge]

FUCKING GREAT. I got approved for food stamps it's sick

[subtle oyster]

😔

[kindred osprey]

SORRY!
Didn't ping you because I assumed you were working rn

We never fight in the mornings

[subtle oyster]

Lol I’m kidding and yeah I’m slaving away

[kindred osprey]

Good luck there

[wind hedge]

So why did no one tell me? Tyler the local Liu Kang struggler. He has actual corner combos?

Also unfortunately I might become a Lao Kameo user

[tough rock]

I'll be down later this afternoon when I'm home

[kindred osprey]

Shaolin Monks.

[subtle oyster]

His corner combos differ between kameos but it’s similar to his normal bnb

[subtle oyster]

Nothing unfortunate about that

[wind hedge]

So the BnB I was using was just like his mid screen BnB and the advanced one I did previous capped out at like 360 ish so I don't understand why 3 after B24 adds so much damage

To where it's like 377 or whatever it is

[subtle oyster]

I usually just do the regular or add the 333 after an amped back forward 3

[wind hedge]

That's what most do, but I feel that one 3 just adds a weird amount of damage

Like I never got to 400 before with a BnB

https://vxtwitter.com/bamonomics/status/1711064162456223801?t=_7tErtcrDCWwUr-3l4KgEg&s=19

I'm probably just not a real Liu Kang player but like I wasn't really doing this often

If at all actually

[subtle oyster]

You can do whichever bnb you want as long as you hit it consistently

[wind hedge]

Well because of how often I have 3/2 bars with Liu Kang I've been thinking of ways to burn it effectively

Instead of just like zoning harder

[kindred osprey]

For Reptile, that I don't really use bars on the combos
I just do breaker and armored moves

I find it valuable to be able to get hit and not eat a full combo

[wind hedge]

I agree, but like sometimes doing 40 percent

[kindred osprey]

True
Style

S-Tyler

Lmao

[wind hedge]

@kindred osprey I guess I'll go ahead and lose

Invite me when you get the chance

[kindred osprey]

Back!
Sorry, was in the bathroom

I'll be using Lao
He's so cool

[wind hedge]

Omw

I am streaming to see if I can even get a decent vod out of it

[kindred osprey]

Lao Lao VS Liu Lao

[subtle oyster]

What kameo do you play Lao with?

Oh I’m a fucking dumbass

[kindred osprey]

Lao.

[wind hedge]

Armored wake ups are absolute dick I see

[subtle oyster]

I didn’t see that one

[kindred osprey]

DROP

I would've killed...

THAT'S AN OVERHEAD?

[wind hedge]

Whew

[kindred osprey]

Fuck Liu.

[subtle oyster]

Meaty with f4 and you’ll break the armor

F43

[wind hedge]

Knowledge checks be something

[kindred osprey]

Love those

Lao needs some work
Lmao

LOLLLLLL
The empty jump fatal blow

[wind hedge]

I love Lao I can't play him though

[kindred osprey]

I haven't landed my bnb yet

Lmao

[subtle oyster]

@kindred osprey i’m watching y’all’s games I think you need to delay the j2 by a hair except when you’re in the corner

[kindred osprey]

OH
Maybe

[subtle oyster]

You had it lol

[kindred osprey]

I just saw the combo on vid
Never did it myself

[subtle oyster]

It all good

[kindred osprey]

SHIT
Killed myself

[wind hedge]

Wow man

This Kameo kinda neat

[kindred osprey]

But got it
Happy with the combo

[wind hedge]

I'm carried

[kindred osprey]

Thxxxxx

[subtle oyster]

Liu doesn’t carry

[kindred osprey]

yussssss

[wind hedge]

Man your Lao seems pretty good though
