IMPORTANT MK11 UPDATE

whiff punishing is super real in MK11, I hope other fighting games can manage to make it real and reliable too :monkey:

Ex legs is almost busted, no charge needed and is faster than ex tackle.

Nothing special about games giving you easy mode whiff punishes. You should earn them.

I had a moment yesterday where I was hitting meaties online day 1 and I was like “oh yeah this is how things used to be with active frames”.

I always get scared whenever I’m up against Cero :nauseated_face:

You know, it’s pretty cool realizing you’ve went up against most of the FR competitors countless times online.

The next guy up, BlazerFury, I played a BL with him for about 50-60 games. His Bison is really tough. Helped me become a lot more comfortable against Bison.

I play Falke so there’s no hope of being comfortable vs Bison. Once I start playing Ibuki again should feel a bit more comfortable.

I haven’t beat Jeron’s/Hiro’s Bison since I’ve been using Falke, but could sometimes get him with Ibuki. I have gotten games at least off every other GM/UGM Bison with Falke, but his is a lot cause so far with Falke.

With Hiro, he tends to tech a lot. I realized that the more I played him, so I started to bait those out more often and had a lot more success. I remember how free I used to be against him lol.

I’ll have to remember that. Part of the issue is Falke’s shimmy game sucks big ass, but can at least try to bait with certain frame traps a bit more. He’s got that long range throw too and her back walk is average so if you shimmy bad you get thrown out of your shimmy.

I remember when Chris T lost to CCL’s Chun in S1. He was furious about EX legs.

Nigel is good at interrupting. Whenever I tried to tick or got too comfy with unsafe strings, boom. Ate a target combo.

yeah I should earn them by hitting a button to punish the whiff, but some games make it a bit too hard to make it reliable in most situations :cold_face:

Fighting a Rog that knows their strings is scary. You press where you think there’s a gap and it’s frame tight enough you’re in trouble.

Yeah you old. In dark ages SF games it was ok to whiff a lot and if you got a whiff punish you did a cool thing.

Its ok DJ, SFV had its chance, Season 4 tried to do something different and instead Lord Boon came and drank its milkshake. MK is now more SF than SF. Maybe SF6 will do things better eheehHEHHEHEHEHHEH :gorilla::gorilla::gorilla::gorilla::gorilla:

I’ll play this whiff punishes for Joe Shmoe and Billy Blanks game that Ed Noob is making. 3d fighter given whiff punishes.

As soon as SFV gets a character with a Mac-11 its over for MK11.
