Yeah watched your Kotal break down. Sounded like you were on the verge of giddy giggling the whole time. Glad to hear that he is looking so good.
One of the reasons I’m excited for MK11 is that there are 2-3 chars at this point that I’m legit pumped to play and more reveals keep on coming. Enjoyed Skarlet in the stress test to start, looking forward to trying out more later.
If you were talking about MKX Jacqui, I’d agree with you. MK11 Jacqui is a different situation entirely. She has a far better visual design and more importantly a far better fighting style. The Muay Thai with a sprinkle of MMA tossed is leaps and bounds better than the generic CQC she used in MKX. For the people complaining about the lack of long combos in MK11, Jacqui certainly scratches that itch.
Side Note: I like that they want Kotal Kahn to feel like a boss. He didn’t have that feel in MKX.
Yeah not saying it is bad or anything. Just different.
The one place where it might be worse than an EX DP is vs command grab chars because they are a little more likely to hit the grab side of the triangle. With the trade off being that she can box out grapplers pretty well with her kit (I think Mika would be the most likely PITA due to the jump mix up but that isn’t a Kolin specific problem).
The other upside to her counter is that even though it is CC state it isn’t as obvious and frankly trained against as a whiffed/blocked DP, so people can bungle up the punish whereas everyone has an EX DP punish on deck mentally.
Her V Skill is great. Was even better/obnoxious early on when it was easier to space out to be safe. The current version is a good trade off between still being effective and useful without being too spammable.
They keep doing it but he is apparently unstoppable. He is really well built for this game so unless they really drop the hammer on him hard we will be dealing with turbulent winds up until they turn the servers off.
His only issue was damage. Hell they could’ve kept his damage the same and he’d still be ridiculous. They even gave him oki and when you corner him you’re actually cornering yourself. Character is fucked 10 ways to Sunday, nerf hammer can’t stop him.
