They’re still planning to make FnF movies and I think the original plan was to do 10 movies (2 movies left). They probably rewrote FnF7 to write off Paul Walker’s character but there are a few reports saying that Fast 8 would depend on whether Eva Mendes and one other actor from the 2nd movie would reprise their roles. I’m not sure if they will follow through with this though.
My shortlist is down to Kano, Mileena and Goro… I’ll probably just learn all three and play the one that ends up being the least popular ;). Pretty stoked my waifu can be a legit grappler. Don’t see female grapplers often enough.
And I hope everyone who has the game early gets cancer. So many people on Twitter trying to find copies haha. I hope they don’t ban the testers from playing in tournaments. Not like it matters now anyway.
Zomg and you can finally skip winning animations…that’s the best news of all
Oh yeah, and you can cancel normals into run and run into normals, so probably gonna be able to get some pretty nasty block strings.

what’s the input for run, and how often can you do it

alright. i’ll do my damndest to keep my eyes out on the web for a leaked PC version but if anyone else finds one please please please PM me
suck it mods, I already bought it
It’s forward dash and then hit the block button (R2 and if you’re on stick you’re gonna map it to bottom left where your thumb is). Gonna take some getting used to but yeah. It’s tied to your stamina meter and cancelling a run sounds like it takes about a quarter of your stamina bar. I would guess you could do it 2 or 3 times in a string before your stamina runs low.

i seriously have no idea where i would put a block button if i tried to play this game on stick
not sure i’d put it anywhere in the first 4 buttons (L and Ms in SF) but anywhere else feels awkward too
so, run into normals and normals into run is just button -> forward x 2 -> button -> forward x 2 repeatedly? (like spinal run cancel stuff in KI, and this is probably much much easier on a hitbox)
Well forward x2 + block -> buttons, but yeah.
I was either gonna do
M/1/2
B/3/4
Or a more Guilty Gearish type way with
1/2/3
B/M/4
M = meter burn. Not sure yet… The problem with the second set up is the two buttons for throw aren’t together :(. But throw still ends up being the same command as Xrd basically cus of the option selecty thing you do (throw is 1+3)… Decisions decisions…
That is where block button goes in Soul Calibur as well. Makes the most sense. (and it’s coincidentally where the run botton was in arcade UMK)

you said “cancel run into normals and normals into run”, but you have to block in between?
Block becomes the run button from a forward dash. You can’t cancel a dash with block, so it doesn’t matter, but you can cancel a run with block (double tap it), or a normal. Run and forward dash are different things in MKX. (forward dash works like sf4 dashes, while run is faster, goes full screen and can be cancelled but costs stamina. You become very vulnerable when you don’t have stamina so it’s a neat risk/reward)
Infil

i guess i was a bit confused at forward dash + block = run that i didn’t really process what you wrote above
but ok, makes sense now

Hmm…have to think about what would be a good button layout for MKX on stick. It might be a game where it might be more beneficial playing on pad due to button layout.
I was thinking the same but finding a wired ps4 pad is a nuisance right now and I don’t want to pay shipping/exchange rates. I own 3 sticks so I’ll just learn how to use that…
Mike Z’s backwards compatible controller driver works with any 3rd party PS3 controller though right? Guess it wouldn’t be hard to find a wired ps3 pad.
Infil
3135
no, i think the ps4 automatically rejects anything marked as “dual shock 3”. mike’s driver does not work with them, from what i’ve heard
the sticks and other things are not “dual shock 3s” so the ps4 is okay with them connecting
as for third party controllers… maybe? not entirely sure how the system treats those

Cancelling in and out of run ?
So if Liu Kang turns on those flames fists for extra chip he can do [blockstring-chain x run]xN until his meter runs out?
Sounds … scary.
Oh well, should make for a fast paced game at least.

Also FYI: It has kinda snuck up in the shadow of avengers hype, but Daredevil is coming out on Netflix this Friday. It’s getting pretty good reviews and is drawing comparisons to The Raid and the Bourne series

adam I still have that fantasia shirt from pax that i said i’d get for you, i found it the other day
do you want this shirt or should i toss it?
Vanilla
3139
Nah, you can toss it. Most of those shirts ended up at value village lol
Qwark over on tym is saying you’re still negative after most strings with cancelling to run. So I think it’ll kinda be like FADC where the opponent can jab you in the face if they read it (and probably full combo you since now you don’t have full stamina)
Block strings in general are a lot more negative overall in this game, apparently (so like Soul Calibur). You can’t go ham as much as in other NRS games which sounds good to me. Lots of people saying Capcom players will have a big advantage in this game, and NRS players will flounder at first since it’s very different.
I hope to see Ryan Heart win the exhibition this weekend.
