It’s better than AIDS too, but that doesn’t mean it’s good.

@Reason4u Would you mind briefly summarizing the patch for those of us unfamiliar with MKX? I heard there were some big system-wide changes but I’m not sure what the significance is
It was a MASSIVE patch and if you stay interested and want more info there are videos where pros go over how the changes effect each character.
Pig of the Hut, PnD Ketchup, Tom Brady vs Reo, are just a few good pages with character reviews.
Cliffs version is
- they universally removed armored launchers for 1 bar.
Spoiler
This makes the game less mashy and allows for the oki game to be more intelligent. Zoning and mid range are stronger even tho the game is still high pace.
2.They nerfed all the moves with poor frame data. No more +100 or -68 normals or specials anymore.
3.They increased the stamina drain cost for running
Spoiler
Huge buff to spacing and zoning for characters that couldn’t before.
4.They greatly improved variations for characters that were considered useless before.
[details=Spoiler]This was huge because it allows more play styles with characters to be viable which never was before.
Sonic fox showcased the buffs to Cyromancer Sub zero which is a variation which was considered useless before.
He almost won SCR with Cyro’s massively improved rush down abilities and alot people were saying Grand Master was top 5.
Just 1 example of how multiple styles of play with characters are much more viable.[/details]
Run > low low low low > cancel into combo. KOF is so enthralling
Sounds just like Street Fighter IV, somehow it was considered okay there
Just thought about something, SFV is coming to Japanese arcades and SFV doesn’t have an arcade mode.
Data miners already leaked what could be a potential arcade mode in the works.
Twinblades: DevilJin_01: Twinblades: Gabri3l_WHOA: Twinblades:So here are my thoughts when fighting you
>alright let me get my neutral in order
>not sure how to whiff punish this but I’ll try
>damn this miggas uses V-Reversal allot
>damn he uses this shit allot
>it’s like fighting a bison main wtf
>huh he doesn’t tech my throws
>weird he literally never techs wtf
>dash in powah bomb lmao
>wait why does he keep doing this lmao
>okay I’ll respect this guy cuz I know he’s baiting me
>wait what the shit he’s still doing the same shit
>powah bomb powah bomb powah bombI don’t even feel good about this any more man like why are you letting me get in like this lmao
Please explain
I’d rather just block than tech cammy’s throws of the time because at worst I stay in the corner at best I get launched back to neutral, if I mess up a tech attempt I take more damage and stay in the blender. The way I approach the cammy match up is if I get put in the corner I basically already lost. I don’t actually have a lot of experience dealing with her.
I v reversal a lot because i’m not comfortable using the parry against cammy because of how quickly she recorvers from her normals and she has so little health that you don’t really need the v trigger cancel combo.
The triple power bomb I learned from alex mirror matches. It’s really unsafe and easy to counter but because it’s so dumb it works as a gimmick occasionally. I go through literally the same thought process every time it happens to me
>power bombed
>ok he won’t do it again
>power bomb
>ok I bet he’s gonna dash lariat or knee if I jump this, I’ll block and v reversal
>power bomb!I’m bad about teching throws in general
I see…
Well I think your Alex game plan is pretty sound intil you get to the grabs part. I suck at whiff punishing so I’m throwing dumb shit out. Probably should chuck out more lariats lol
I hate that you VR so much because I can’t really pressure you. My footies turn to shit so I rely on gimmicks which work… but then they give you the meter to spam VR.
Fuck
Just s.LK him to death. Has long range, plus on block and allows you to throw or block his V Reversal on reaction. He has one of the worst V Reversals so stay on him.
Also, cool people don’t tech throws so keep throwing.
I spam the shit out standing light kick but it doesn’t change the outcome lmao
GG’s your Alex is kinda unconventional which I suppose is a good thing.
What it’s like fighting my Cammy by the way?
I think it is one of Alex’s worst match ups by far, along with Vega and Chun. She doesn’t have to respect alex’s neutral because of how mobile she is, and her up close pressure is very very scary. I’m walking on egg shells the entire time because if cammy gets in it’s hard to regain the momentum. You can just down block but it’s hard to make space to do anything besides that unless you commit to a read, which is just how it goes with Alex’s archetype. Cammy also having a very fast back walk speed means she walk walk out of some power bomb mix ups like Vega does, and if she gets a life lead she can play lame and make Alex do something stupid. On the positive side, because Cammy has such low stun if you mess up twice you’re probably going to end up stunned and lose >90% of your health if not get killed outright. As a disclaimer I don’t have a lot of experience dealing with cammy as nobody locally plays her and I don’t see her that often online, and my opinion could change.
Oh, lol, you meant ur cammy
Well my opinion is basically the same against your cammy specifically as against Cammy in general. Couple things I noticed tho
you don’t block low enough
your dive kicks are done unreliably enough that I had trouble consistently anti airing them
wake up spiral arrow is either a really good idea or really dumb I can’t tell
you stopped letting me hit you with wake up CA gj I won’t stop doing it tho YOLO
STOP DOING WAKE UP SUPER!!!
I only got hit by it like twice!!!
I will always delay my meaty timing plus your super animation eats my input so you’re fucking killing yourself you butt muncher!!!
OceanMachine:Run > low low low low > cancel into combo. KOF is so enthralling
it’s better than SFV
It looks like it came out 8 years ago so I disagree with you.
“STOP DOING WAKE UP SUPER!!!” - Twinblades

I would have rather SNK reuse sprites than the shit we got in XIV
tyvm for the explanation, I should check out those videos too. I’ve been meaning to pick up MK casually and now seems like a good time to step in.
Zoning and mid range are stronger even tho the game is still high pace.
That’s what I like to hear!
Reason4U:I told you guys this patch made MKX fun as hell to play and awesome to watch.
The whole top 8 was sick as fuck. Best top 8 for MK since ESL.
Demo Sonya getting nerfed to mid tier and Scar still winning with her had me yelling and screaming at the screen like a fucking psycho.
The FGC is better when MK and SF are both hype.
Not really much hype when a game revolves around 50/50 10f-16f low/overhead combos that lead into 40%
oh yea
or they lead into another 50/50 low overhead
Anti air air jabs that also lead into full 30-40% combos
Oh your turn? Nah armored 50/50
Not hype? Are you deaf? People were going nuts for that top 8. Cant take that serious.
What armored 50/50s? From who? I would love to know what character you saw spamming armored 50’s all day.
Shinnock almost won the tournament with his fireballs conversions which got him more damage than anything else.
Anti air jabs are a thing in many fighting games. You gonna have to make peace with that.

Wasn’t there at least one moment where you were like…
“Shit fam I’ve been doing this and he literally never gets hit by it!”
“I know I won’t do that hahaha”
“Yeah”
That never once happened?

This might be the best story I’ve read here in a while

Gg. Lag wasn’t too bad on. My end
not like SFV looks like a modern game @Twinblades
Modern compared to what? CoD?
GG Xrd doesn’t look modern but it still looks crisp as fuck for s fighting game.
KoF14 looks fucking stiff man.
I mean if graphics don’t mean shit in FG’s how come we aren’t frothing at the mouth for Super Stick fighting 4: White Background Remix Turbo?
Cmon fam
3rd Strike is still dabes.
