Link would be nice, seems like it’d just be easier to post it here than send out a ton of PMs…
Really loving the demo, only complaint is I’m not sure I like how breaker’s work. They don’t seem baitable like bursts in most other games.
I do it this way because this is a big ass leak, and while some people don’t want to be spoiled, they might be too weak to resist a spoiler tag. So they have to dig on their own or just ask if they really want it. But I’d like to be PMed about it rather than have requests take up space in this thread from now on.
I’m praying like all hell someone has the demo at the gaming event my college has tomorrow. I’m too cheap to spend 18 bucks on PSN+ for a demo that’s coming out this Tuesday anyway. But I want to play it so goddamn bad.
leak
Spoiler
COALESCED_ENG.txt link to some of the datamined information. Apparently in the demo build almost-nude Mileena is listed as the reward for clearing challenge 300. Other leak information however indicates that it’s a Krypt item instead.
keep in mind that because it’s a demo, some or all of this information could be irrelevant.
This demo was far better than I expected I cant wait to get the classic subzero skin and fatality from my preorder
I don’t know why there should be leaks. Like whats the point or purpose? Wouldn’t that just kill everything if ppl found out about the content?
Well in videos i see people cross up and switch their bodies around midair. So maybe it’s for that?
some see a problem with breakers? exchange 75% meter to get out of combo. seems fine to me.
I only seem combo videos of her but I see her strength in how she ends her combos she recover quickly so she can start setting up mix up/oki on wake up.
Pretty much I see myself playing her with strong mix up on wake up, a hybrid of Vega and Cammy in my opinion. I find her projectile to be a meter build tactic and to harass turtles. Though this isn’t her final build i still see great potential in her current formula.
I’m hoping to see some Green Lantern Breaker-like goodness in the new MK.
The throws are slow with no priority and can be crouched under, the projectiles can be crouched under, getting meter for blocking but not from attacking.
Can someone please explain their design philosophy?
what is the purpose of stance change?
For the throws? no clue. You forgot to mention they’re -extremely- easy to tech too.
For the projectiles? I assume the goal is to force the kombat to be more rushdowny , though you could still zone to an extent since there’s no crouching movement, it prevents someone with a small life deficit from trying to chip someone to advantage since the other player can stay crouched for instance. We’ll have to see if it really ends up making them trashy or not though.
For the meter? I assume they wanted to merge elements of Super and Ultra style meters, which is why specials and taking damage generate you bar. Generating meter with blockstrings I guess is to discourage turtling.
Right now it seems purely aesthetic, it might affect move properties though, it could… maybe… make say, BK/BP have better range when that side is forward. For the moment I have no idea and that’s just speculative.
It’s like they wanna make the worst throws ever on purpose.
It just sounds stupid that at long range crouch blocking beats every option.
It encourages turtling! If you just block all day long, you get meter and the attacker doesn’t. If the opponent uses a character that doesn’t have good mixups, he’s gonna be in a big problem.
I don’t much like that choice, but like I said, it’s only a real problem if you want to zone and are at a life deficit, you can’t do that at all in this game. Maybe someone will figure something out we don’t know, but I agree throws look fairly useless right now.
No, you have that backwards. You don’t generate meter while hitting someone with normals. You do generate meter if they block your normals. Specials always generate meter.
have to remember though, it’s a demo build.
Throws can be crouched, but cannot be teched if you crouch block. In other words, if you crouch block, that’s a free throw.
Kratos Kratos
Few questions about Kratos. Is he going to have his god of war music and In the demo trailer the background look greek does this mean that its his stage?
Lol…
i don’t think it encourages turtling since you get chip on normal attacks.
btw i missed an x-ray move and i missed pretty badly and it auto corrected from afar.
I don’t think were approaching the game in the right matter. Either way it’ll take time for this to develop,
I’m not sure if it was mentioned, but while throws are crouchable, if you are blocking while crouching, you’ll get thrown.
