Yeah, that’s my thoughts. Any tips on getting the first hit? I can do some rudimentary combos after the first hit (even though it’s awkward with all the directional buttons mid combo for me), but it’s often getting that first hit that screws me. I try to poke and it gets out-prioritized an awful lot. What should I be looking out for to know when it’s safe to launch an attack?
unless its been said elsewhere we now have new character specific Forums. YAY!! everyone post some quan chi stuffs so we can step up our game!!!
I am by no means a MK vet but from what I can tell (please correct me if im wrong somebody) but this game seems to revolve much more around block strings which leave you safe or + on block and the high/low mix/throw up options your character has. Since blocking is a button and not a direction, cross ups don’t exist. Go into training mode and learn what options your character has as far as high/low attacks and strings as well has the best block string options that will help you to continue pressure.
to be honest that will be match up specefic but most character commands come with extreme recovery on them (usually combo starters, and teleports) but smart player wont just throw throw them out, you’ll have to bait this scenario but that has its risk as well. So again heavily rock paper scissors.
What the heck? Character threads!?
What’s online play? Stupid PSN.
But I did manage to complete Story mode.
Do like what this games offers in offline content over alot of other games.
Word man. SRK be awesome.
Agreed. Since everyone is comparing this to MvC3 (because both have been recently released I suppose) this is the much better GAME and it isn’t really even close. All the offline/online features and modes give this game a much longer life than the shitty work Capcom put in for MvC3.
Now as which is a better FIGHTER is really a matter of preference. I love both fighters and will continue to play both (as of right now I will obviously play this more because it is new). Everyone will have their praises and gripes about each but in the end it is prefernce what is comes down to.
This is MADnESS
Outstanding.
sucki it, all other non capcom games
MK= the new top tier.
What are those things about our threads?! I fear change! D:
lol the button check/control settings will be the death of Mk9 LMAO!
it probably helps that people like jwong and ultradavid are picking up mk. guess srk decided that this game has some potential after all
This is the game srk has been begging for it’d be a shame if they didn’t support it.
A aggressive non anime fairly balanced 2d fighter. Aggressive play is favored largely over zoning.
The funny thing it’s really tekken on a 2d plane.
Funny how much easier it is to swallow Tekken when it is stuck in a 2D plane. No offense to Tekken players, but god, I hate those games. Well, except for Tekken Tag. That game is pretty fun.
i dont play tekken, but i’ve never seen someone pick a long range zoning/teleport shenanigan character in the tekken matches that i’ve watched
Haunts Lao is pretty G.
Man, for all the features, you’d think they’d have a better way for button mapping.
Why do companies try to make the easiest things to implement so hard to do?
Yeah button mapping kind of sucks, but it does in virtually every game, so whatever.
